Miao Cuihua first asked the two children: "Are you cold?"

Li Anyang said little and just shook his head.

Jiang Mingxin kept secret: "Mom, I run outside every day, how can I be cold?"

Miao Cuihua took them out of the carriage.

Li Zining was aroused by the cold wind that came in after opening the door, and his body began to sway: "I won't go, I will go back to warm up first."

In later generations, many southerners who had never been to Guanwai said with their noses in the air that the equipment outside Guanwai was good, not that people could withstand the cold.

But if you go outside the customs in the coldest time, the same equipment will be numb from the cold, especially in the ravine.

The winter outside Guan at this time is 5 to 10 degrees cooler than in the 21st century because there are many trees.

The role of trees in regulating the climate is so great that people who have never experienced it simply don’t know the importance of trees.

When Zhao Chuanxin was a child, illegal logging outside the customs was a serious problem, with frequent floods during the rainy season and occasional landslides. After control, the situation gradually improved.

After the forest became denser, the temperature dropped sharply. On the hottest night in summer, even wearing shorts in the ravine would feel cold. No matter how much it rained, the water level would only rise a little. Because the roots of the trees on the mountain had not even absorbed enough water.

, not to mention rising water.

This is also the reason why Zhao Chuanxin strictly controls the mountainous area within 150 miles of Lugang Town, strictly prohibiting the Japanese from plundering the natural resources here.

The Central Plains region, which has been developed for thousands of years, does not have much ability to withstand disasters. Natural disasters occur frequently, and the people are miserable.

It snows in New York too, but it can't compare with Lugang Town.

Rachel Kervis is wearing a cotton-padded jacket in the car, and her bloated appearance makes her look a little naughty.

And Samuel Goldberg looks clumsy and funny.

The snow on the stone road has long been cleared away, and the three adults and two children were shopping in the street shops.

Rachel Kervis pointed to a ready-to-wear store and said, "Go in and have a look."

In other cities, Rachel Kervis has also visited ready-made clothing stores, but to be honest, there are only a few clothes that she can like. People at this time are very practical. When you buy something like clothes, you have to wear them. You can't

Just put it away as a souvenir, whether you have money or not.

Therefore, when Rachel Kervis saw clothes with a strong Chinese style, it was really difficult to buy them.

In the early days when the Manchus first entered the country, women's hairstyles and clothing were still influenced by the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian people. Their hair was not open, and their buns were also Ming style? Buns and skirts were pleated styles from the south during the Ming Dynasty.

, wear longer than the armor. Although it does not have a left collar, it is slim and long at the front. The cuffs are small, the style and color matching are elegant, and it looks very feminine.

With the passage of time, the aesthetics of the Manchus from the upper class began to become more and more morbid and deformed, and their clothes gradually transformed into today's cheongsam. This kind of cheongsam is not the slit-exposed cheongsam of later generations, but looks like it is bloated.

In the same style as the nouveau riche, the hair should also be parted, that is, the forehead should be shaved to create a large forehead.

All in all, it can be described in three words - Tufeiyuan.

The Manchus succeeded in dressing themselves in an ugly and vulgar way.

That kind of clothes is really off-putting to Rachel Kravis.

Although this shop also has a strong Chinese style, it is refreshing.

Several people walked into the shop, and the female clerk's eyes lit up: "Sister Hua, when did you come back?"

Miao Cuihua held her hand: "I just got off the car, how is the business?"

"It's very good. Under Sister Hua's guidance, is there any bad business?"

Miao Cuihua is the number one fashion trend vane in Lugang Town. Under the influence of Zhao Chuanxin's aesthetic, she opened up the fashion world.

At first, many people pointed out her "fancy clothes", but later, driven by the insurance team's various trendy military uniforms, Miao Cuihua's clothes became more and more accepted, and it later became a popular trend.

When they turned around to look, everyone realized that their outfits were so ugly.

If you want to make friends with someone from a clothing store, please give Miao Cuihua some advice.

This store is one of them.

Miao Cuihua pointed at Rachel Kervis and said: "This is a friend from New York, USA. Let's call her Kervis and show her."

The clerk blinked: "Oh, it turns out to be the big financier."

But nowhere else have I seen the servile attitude of foreigners.

The people of Lugang Town are proud.

Rachel Kervis looked at the environment. There were magnificent chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, and the paintings on the walls were illuminated by bright light.

These paintings are very distinctive. They depict the portrait of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, wearing shoulder crowns such as dragons, phoenixes, flower hairpins, and cross-collared long-sleeved brocade robes, sitting on a chair with a dignified expression.

Next to it is a picture of the Flying Sky from Dunhuang murals.

The edges of these paintings are cut at diagonal lines, and the three paintings are integrated into one, like huge and twisted bookmarks, which look very distinctive even in the 21st century.

In the clothing display area, rows of cotton-padded jackets and down jackets are hung on wooden hangers, all for women. Among them is the long brocade down jacket with small clusters of flowers worn by Empress Shenzong of the Song Dynasty.

The pattern is the same, but in terms of style, the collar also has the charm of cross-collaring, and the waistband also has a waist-cinching design with a white jade belt.

Taken alone, the painting and this dress are nothing, but when compared together, it makes Rachel Kervis goosebumps.

She pointed and said in blunt Chinese: "Can I?"

The clerk stretched out his hand with a smile and politeness: "Please."

When she wears it, it feels particularly light and warm. The outside is smooth satin and the lining is soft and comfortable. The clerk helped her adjust the belt from the back, and after tightening it, her slender waist was immediately revealed.

There is also a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the store, which is also an eye-catching feature. Such a large mirror is rare.

Rachel Kervis took the photo, turned slightly, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, Lugang Town is simply the Paris of the East. It's so beautiful."

The perfect combination of oriental classical and modern clothing.

The clerk took out a brochure and turned it over to Rachel Kervis.

The pictures on it were realistic and cute women. The clerk turned to one of the pages, and it was the cartoon model of this down jacket.

The clerk said: "It will look better if you wear it this way."

There are two outfits above, one is a down jacket with a cardigan underneath, trousers and short leather boots underneath, the other is a down jacket with a shirt, and a long skirt layered underneath.

Good guys, everything in the two outfits is prepared in the store. If you dress like this, you have to buy the complete set.

Rachel Kervis even liked this picture album: "Will this picture album sell?"

The clerk smiled and shook his head: "This was painted by the first successor of the 'War God Style' school of painting. The artist worked for the "Lugang Town Journal", and it cost me a lot of money to let him paint such a book."

The so-called "God of War style painting school" was actually led by Zhao Chuanxin, with a similar illustration style.

The illustrations in "Lugang Town Journal" are all drawn like this.

The clerk successfully made Rachel Kevis consume the entire set, and she couldn't help but smile, feeling that the trip was well worth it.

There are no high-rise buildings in Lugang Town, but it is extremely exquisite and has complete infrastructure. Rachel Kervis feels that living here is more convenient than New York.

There are not only cinemas and theaters, various Chinese and Western restaurants, but also hospitals and schools, lakes and squares. You can even see cars on the streets, and bicycles are not new. There are street lights on both sides of the road, and wires can be seen overhead, but they are far from the same.

The telegraph lines in New York are so messy that no bird is willing to fly, but they are neatly organized. There is no such insensitivity on the faces of the people here. People are dressed in fresh and fashionable clothes. Except for a few with yin and yang hair, men and women here have the same hairstyle.

Very sophisticated.

Samuel Goldberg pointed to a spirited young man passing by and asked: "Where do they get their hair cut? Can you take me there?"

Miao Cuihua smiled and took them to the Zhangda Family Barber Shop chain.

Zhang Daquan's younger brother Zhang Dazhu happened to be there, and Miao Cuihua said: "Dazhu, this is my friend who passed on the salary. His name is Samuel Goldberg. Just call him Samuel and give him a haircut."

Zhang Dazhu originally learned the art of barbering from Zhao Chuanxin, and he was better than his master. Now he has become the number one barber in Lugang Town, with apprentices everywhere.

"Okay, Sister Hua, ask this guy how he wants to cut it?"

Miao Cuihua asked a few questions and said to Zhang Daquan: "Don't you have that booklet? Show it to him."

Zhang Daquan gave him the hairstyle book and explained: "Choose the corresponding hairstyle according to your face shape."

Broken hair, airplane head, front thorns; round hair, gradient, oily hair; chestnut hair, carving, 37 points...

I blanch...Samuel Goldberg was shocked.

In a small town in a bitterly cold inland area of ​​China, you can find a barbershop with more tricks than any other in New York!

Seeing him making a fuss, Zhang Dazhu curled his lips: Is that okay, Shelby? He looked like he had never seen the world.

Samuel Goldberg still didn't dare to choose a trendy hairstyle. After choosing it, Zhang Dazhu pulled his head unscrupulously: "Don't tell me, this foreigner's head looks weird..."

……

Zhao Chuanxin took Benjamin Goldberg and Ganfan and rushed to Dalangwan in one go.

"Master is freezing to death, let's go ashore to warm up."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the turbulent waves and said: "Master can't freeze to death, but apprentice can't do anything."

"..."

This is the corner extending from the island, and the whole body looks like a spear.

This place is called Wong Mao Kok.
