Anton's height is about the same as Roque's, slightly shorter than Roque, but the height is limited, both around 1.80 meters. Like Roque, Anton has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and of course his body is quite strong.
But just because the conditions are similar, it doesn't mean that you can wear the same clothes.
After all, Rock's clothes are custom-made. The so-called customization means that the clothes are made according to Rock's body shape. Rock looks full of energy when he wears them, but Anton is almost boring when he wears them.
It’s not much different. Although Anton’s legs are thicker due to practicing the lower body, and the pants look a bit tight, and the upper body is a bit baggy because Rock has a standard inverted triangle, but it is the same as Anton’s previous police uniform.
In comparison, there is a huge difference, at least Anton himself is very satisfied.
"Order, I will also order a set later." Looking at himself in the mirror, Anton made up his mind, isn't it just ten pounds? Anton can afford it now, and there is no need to save ferry tickets for his family. Anton
Now I feel confident.
"Okay, if you order it, I will give you a pocket watch." Roque was also confident. He didn't have a lot of money, but he could still afford it with a small amount of money.
It's not a small amount of money. Don't look at Roque's pocket watch, which was only worth two pounds at the time. You have to buy it from a serious store. You can't buy it without seven pounds. That's more than a month's salary for Anton. Roque
I guess Anton may not be willing to give it up.
As an accessory of the entire outfit, don’t underestimate the role of a pocket watch. Sometimes details are the core of value. For example, the same checkered shirt may only cost ten pennies in a Jewish store, but it can be customized by a top tailor shop.
At least one pound is required.
Why are top tailor shops so expensive?
Because of the tailoring, not only the pattern, but also the patterns on the clothes are ensured to fit perfectly and look natural, without any trace of tailoring. In order to achieve this, in addition to the tailor's exquisite craftsmanship, the fabric also inevitably produces waste.
, these are all costs, Jewish stores cannot do this, so they can only sell them for ten pennies.
The same goes for pocket watches. Wearing a suit without a pocket watch is as unseemly as a woman wearing a dress without gloves. Don't question the rationality of the pocket watch. The current rules in this world were made by the British, and the right to interpret them lies with the British.
Anton just tried it on. After trying it on, he still wore his own police uniform. When everyone wore police uniforms on weekdays, Anton couldn't feel the difference. Now Rock is dressed neatly, but Anton is wearing a uniform. The two of them are together.
When he goes out, Anton is like Roque's follower, which makes Anton very uncomfortable.
Roque also knew that Anton was uncomfortable, so he did not go with Anton to send a telegram, but called a two-wheeled carriage back to Mill Street.
The wing room is nearly completed. Like the main building, the wing room is made entirely of white marble. These marbles are not cheap and are all shipped from far away German Southwest Africa. Rock could also choose lower-priced local materials, but Rock did not.
Do that.
According to Rock's instructions, Zach bought three dogs. The locally produced boerboel means "farmer's dog." This name may not sound very nice. It also has another name called South African Mastiff. This kind of dog was once used
It is used as a hound and fighting dog. It is agile in movement, well-muscled, fearless in character, patient with its owner, and aggressive towards strangers. It is a good family guardian dog.
When Rock arrived home, Zach was tidying up the garden behind the house and putting water in the swimming pool. Zach's sister Bella was using a long-handled sticky net to clean up the debris in the water. It could be seen that Bella liked to poke.
Gram's working environment.
"Zach, if Bella is willing, you can stay and work. And your mother, you can't let Bella bring you food every day without helping me save money." Rock's trust in Zach is increasing. If
Zach's sister and mother are willing to work for Rock, so Rock can give Zach greater trust.
Although Rock doesn't want to admit it, the best way to control a person is to control his family first.
This may be a bit despicable, but it is an effective method. In order not to cause trouble to his family, Zach would rather move out of the house alone. This means that Zach values his family, which is easy to handle. Rock's house is too big.
Zach obviously doesn't take good care of himself. The room needs to be cleaned, someone needs to be in the kitchen to cook, and the curtains and tablecloths need to be removed and washed on time. Zach can't do these tasks. Instead of hiring strangers, it's better to hire Zach's
sister and mother.
Zach couldn't speak, but the smile on his face showed that Zach was very happy, but when he grinned, his mouth was so dark that his tongue was a little leaky.
Rock was speechless, just teasing the three South African Mastiffs he had just bought. They were not familiar with Rock yet, but because Rock had beef jerky in his hand, they squatted in a row in front of Rock and shook them to a limited extent.
With a thick short tail.
"Mr. Locke, thank you, I will work hard." Bella's voice was very clear, and because of her happiness, her two large rabbit teeth sparkled in the sun.
"Go back and tell Anna that you can come to work today. There are a lot of empty rooms at home, so you can stay here at night." Luo Ke smiled before saying anything. He was not arrogant. Unlike most employers in Cape Town, Twenty-one
Century's education still had a great influence on Rock. At least Rock would give others enough respect.
"Thank you Mr. Locke, I'm not afraid. I will go back and tell Anna right away that we will live in a tent outside and will not dirty the room." Anna is Zach and Bella's mother, although Locke does not think the Boers
It's dirty, but Bella is still very careful.
"Big Man" is the strongest of the three South African mastiffs. Its head is bigger than Rock's head, and it must weigh more than fifty kilograms. It has thick limbs and well-developed muscles. It stares at the dried beef in Rock's hand.
His eyes are almost watery.
After feeding a handful of beef jerky, the three South African mastiffs became obviously familiar with Rock. They have a very strong sense of territory. Although they are energetic, they are reluctant to go out and prefer to stay at home. They are standard misers.
On the way back to the dormitory, Rock, who was sitting in a two-wheeled carriage, suddenly heard someone calling for help when he passed the immigration office.
"Catch that man, he robbed my things." A girl wearing a long skirt shouted for help on the side of the road. Someone was running wildly not far away.
robbery?
Rock immediately cheered up, and his identity as a police officer finally came in handy.
"Don't worry, miss, I'm a policeman and I will get your things back." Rock reassured the girl and then directed the driver to chase the man.
The man running wildly did not notice Rock. He must have observed the surrounding environment and did not notice the police before he committed the crime. Unfortunately, Rock was wearing casual clothes today, so that guy was going to be out of luck.
