This ear-splitting sound like the sound of a bell is not a real bell. If you listen carefully, you will hear that the end sound has a crispness unique to mechanical rotation. This is not the sound of a bell, but the special rhythm of the rotation of the clock hands.
When the three hands turned, the square erupted in warm applause and cheers. The adults shouted "A new day has begun" and the children jumped up and down wanting to have breakfast. The clock sound was the same every day.
It may have no special meaning, but everyone in the square was happy for this moment.
Xu Huo followed the crowd and came behind a few people who were standing on the edge of the square adjusting clocks in front of the Time Tower.
Of course, calibrating the time is not done by hand. Instead, you first use a calibration instrument to select the clock on the time tower. Then the calibration instrument will start working and adjust the new clock according to the time on the clock until it is accurate.
Of course, not every home’s time is inaccurate. Some people just come for routine inspections. They will bring two clocks, one for adjustment and one as a reference. The subtle differences in time are also important to record.
data.
"What a coincidence!" Shi Potian came over behind the painting girl who bought breakfast. The two of them were of the same character. Not only were their arms covered with food bags, but their hands were also busy, stuffing them into their mouths as they walked.
The painting girl couldn't free her hands to type now, so she bit into a piece of bread, then took off the thing on her arm and pushed it to Xu Huo, signaling him to eat.
Xu Huo glanced at the bag that was almost full of bitten food and asked, "Have you tasted all of these?"
The painting girl nodded, indicating that these were all delicious, and she didn’t want the ones that weren’t delicious.
"I have all the bad food here." Shi Potian raised his hand to show that he also had a bunch of bitten ones in his hand, and volunteered: "Don't worry, these won't be wasted, I'll eat them all later."
."
Xu Huo was speechless for a moment.
Shi Potian didn't mind at all, "I've always eaten my sister's leftovers since I was a child. My sister is picky about food, but I'm not picky."
Is this a picky eating issue?
But seeing that he really didn't mind at all when he picked up the food that the painting girl had bitten and stuffed it into his mouth, Xu Huo didn't have much to say.
"These things in Area 001 are so delicious." Shi Potian said: "Compared to my sister's craftsmanship, it's simply heaven and earth!"
Xu Huo took a piece of bread and said as he walked: "Does your sister know what you said?"
"She knows," Shi Potian said, "otherwise why would she give it to me every time she cooks something?"
"Your sister is so good to you." The painting girl freed up her hands and stuffed two more bags into him, "I am also good to you."
However, Xu Huo stopped him halfway with his eyes.
"Eat it yourself." Xu Huo said.
The painting girl quickly took the things back.
"It's okay, it's okay." Shi Potian wasn't angry at all, "It's normal for girls to be picky about food."
"Why is it normal for girls to be picky eaters?" the painting girl asked curiously.
"Generally, women eat less than men. If they eat too much, they are not picky eaters. It's good to eat some." Shi Potian spoke with a clear mind.
The painting girl was very confused. She was not in the ordinary situation, so she had to slowly pick up the things she had bitten but didn't like and eat them.
"It's just a little bit of food. If you really don't like it, forget it." Shi Potian said very considerately.
Xu Huo didn't bother to talk to them and walked around the square to visit nearby shops.
It is worthy of being a district of clock culture. At least one-third of the shops in the square are dedicated to selling clocks. The shapes, materials and patterns of the clocks are all different, and they are full of variety. In addition to hand-wearing and hanging
, there are also clocks made into hairpins, brooches, and cufflinks. The advertising slogan also says very well, "I wish you can control your own time anytime, anywhere."
"The people in Area 001 seem to be very obsessed with time." Shi Potian looked at the people coming and going, "Even the children have watches."
"I have to live according to time since I was a child. It's really scary."
Having a sense of time is a concept. Some people like to use time to regulate everything, so they have very high requirements on time. People who are more particular about it will even divide their daily life into points.
But for more people, demanding time all the time is pressure, and those constantly rotating pointers are like invisible whips, urging and reminding people what time they should do.
Hua Nu and Shi Potian walked half a street and came out looking disheveled, saying that they never wanted to enter the watch shop again. Just hearing the ticking sound made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
The two left Xu Huo and went to play game consoles together.
The sound of clocks has a special hypnotic effect, making some people who are not anxious at first become anxious. When Xu Huo went to the largest watch shop next to the square, the shop assistants here were all wearing clock masks.
That's right, the clock face mask is a golden vine mask with carved patterns covering half of the face. There is a very small dial on the bud, and the hands on it rotate on time and every second.
"What kind of clocks would you like to see, sir?" The clerk welcomed him in and gave him a brief introduction to the store's main business scope. They follow the boutique accessories route, so they do not sell large watches, but specialize in small and micro watches.
What he is good at is inlaying dials with various gemstones, ranging from hair accessories to necklaces, bracelets, and some small accessories that can be carried around.
The clerk showed an emerald ring. This emerald was not big, but it was composed of three parts. The pointer was placed in the middle of the gem. There were no numbers on it. It was very compact and had almost only a decorative effect.
"Ore decorations have no effect on the prop timer?" Xu Huo asked after looking at it.
"The ores used to make the timer have been specially selected and will not have any impact on the material of the timer." The clerk said: "What's more, such gemstones generally have no special functions and are selected for their special color and luster.
Accessories.”
Seeing that he didn't seem to be interested in the ring, the clerk showed him something else.
Xu Huo, who was in the daily decoration category, didn't even take a second look, but was attracted by a gemstone bookmark.
The clerk was very discerning, "Sir, you have a good eye. This set of bookmarks has seven pieces in total. The gemstones inlaid on each piece are of A-grade quality. They are free of impurities, translucent and moist, and are in the shape of natural water droplets. They are among the best."
Excellent product.”
The gemstone looks very beautiful, so its dial is placed on a metal sheet under the gemstone. It is difficult for the designer to have a thin bookmark with inlaid hands on it.
After buying this set of gemstone bookmarks, Xu Huo saw the words "Teacher Jingshi's autograph signing" appearing on the opposite side, so he turned around and walked into the mall.
Many people in the mall came for the autograph session, and everyone had a copy of "Time Never Stands Still." There were also shops selling it nearby.
