This is a women's shoulder bag sewn with deerskin. It is large enough to hold multiple 16-square-foot books and albums. Its style is imitated by a luxury brand from the past. The buckle of the shoulder bag is made of copper.
, emblazoned with two floral letters: Lu.
On the lower left corner of the bag, there is a donkey head and the coat of arms of 82 sewn on it, highlighting the noble origin of this bag.
In Lingao and other places where naturalized citizens gather, both men and women are accustomed to backpacks. This kind of bag was originally a military satchel with a canvas iron buckle used by the Fubo Army. Later, some of it was distributed to naturalized civilian cadres and Fang Fang.
Students from Cao Cao. Gradually this kind of canvas satchel became popular because it was easy to carry. Not only was it widely used by naturalized people, many indigenous people also found this kind of bag easy to carry when going out, so they purchased it one after another. Clothing factories began to mass-produce and supply it.
, and later launched backpacks, including various styles and textures.
This popularity is not limited to various areas under the rule of the Senate. It is also used by many indigenous people in areas that have more contact with the merchants of the Senate.
Hong Yuanlao’s No. 82 naturally captured this popular trend keenly. After all, in terms of luxury goods, bags are always one of the largest categories. And the spending power displayed by the maids of the elders did not allow him to let this go.
Seeing a business opportunity, he quickly joined forces with a quilt factory, expanded the original leather goods workshop into a bag factory, and began to produce several bag products. They were divided into different brands and product lines according to customer groups. In addition to dealing with naturalized citizens
, there are also product lines specifically for export, some are specifically sold to the Ming Dynasty, some are targeted at the European market, and there are also products specifically for markets in Southeast Asia, Japan and other places. They are all different in design and material selection. All of them have achieved good results.
performance.
The bag used by Sonia was a gift from Lin Hanlong when she took a job at the Natural History Museum not long ago. In terms of price alone, it is a top-notch product in Hong Huangnan's No. 82 product line. Based on the average salary of ordinary naturalized citizens.
The calculation has reached the level of fantasy. It is also a hot topic at the maids' party in No. 43. But Sonia has no feeling about it: since the elders are the powerful people of this country, their families and mistresses should use the best
What is there to discuss?
In order to take care of Lin Guanyu's mood, Lin Hanlong also gave her an exposed bag. Since this bag has a larger volume, is easy to carry, and is made of durable and waterproof calfskin, maids usually bring it with them when they go shopping.
it.
Sonia packs two large towels in her bag - one of her favorite Australian products; a pair of soft-soled shoes, practice clothes, a change of clothes... these are all she needs when going to fitness classes
Bits and pieces. She also packed two high-grade calfskin-covered notepads sold on No. 43 and a Golden Dragon I-generation fountain pen.
She was wearing an ordinary coat, not the iconic maid uniform. Sonia was very disgusted with this "servant uniform" and tried not to wear it as much as possible.
After cleaning up, Sonia paid attention to the nanny, kissed her sleeping daughter, and walked out of Lin Hanlong's house.
It was close to noon, and the dormitory area was very quiet. Most of the maids had gone home to do their work, and the elders had basically gone out. This made her feel relieved - even though she had been here for several years, she had been curious about the European maids earlier.
It has faded away, but every time she comes out of home and walks on the road in the dormitory area, she still attracts everyone's attention.
She registered her outing at the service office and asked for a rickshaw. As the living secretary, she could not use a carriage. In fact, even the elders were not willing to use carriages. They mostly used rickshaws for short trips. Therefore, the office set up a rickshaw in the dormitory area.
A special fleet with several horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws ready for use at any time
As soon as Sonia got on the rickshaw, she asked the driver to open the awning and lower the curtain.
The rickshaw quickly left the dormitory area and headed along the avenue, and soon arrived at the gymnasium on the bank of the Wenlan River. Because of her special status, the rickshaw driver pulled her into an inconspicuous special door.
As soon as she got off the car, service staff from the office came to pick her up. The gym at Wenlanhe Gymnasium was actually only open to seniors and life secretaries. For most naturalized people and indigenous people, they could not afford to consume precious calories.
It also cannot supplement the large amount of protein needed for fitness.
The director of the gymnasium is Chen Sigen. As the only fitness coach and nutrition expert among the elders, it is his natural duty to provide fitness services to the elders and their families.
As a living welfare of the Senate, the gym set up the policy of "adapting measures to local conditions" when it was first opened. Chen Sigen believed that it should not be copied from the old time and space. After all, both protein and fat are rare in this time and space, that is, there is no ability to add too much.
, and there is no need to reduce it excessively. Therefore, there is no need to promote strength exercises such as "lose fat and gain muscle" in the old time, and only target a small number of groups with special needs - such as soldiers. Ordinary elders and family members
, the main thing is to stretch the muscles and bones and exercise the body. Therefore, in addition to strength fitness, there are also physical fitness, yoga, aerobics and other items, as well as traditional aerobics such as Wu Qin Xi and Shi Satin Brocade.
Once the gym opened, it was widely welcomed by the elders. Although most of the elders were not very interested in exercising themselves, they were very active in sending their maids to exercise.
Lin Hanlong was no exception, so as soon as Sonia arrived at Lin's house, she was required to take fitness classes. Although she was a beauty, her figure had not been trained, and she could not be said to be very fit in all aspects.
Sonia was very disgusted with such training at first, but she still obeyed out of scruples about her status. Gradually, she started to like fitness: after exercising, her body became lighter and more flexible than before, with more energy and strength.
It has also increased a lot. As for the owner's praise that her body is more toned than before, she personally has no experience with it, but she feels that she has more muscles.
There are only a few people in the gym at the moment. Most of the maids who come to exercise don't come until the afternoon. As for the elders, they basically have to wait until the evening.
The training programs provided here are not bad even according to the level of the 21st century. In terms of equipment, the machinery factory copied and restored various fitness equipment as much as possible according to the drawings. Although the appearance is a bit rough, the basic functions are not lacking at all. Changing rooms, showers
Rooms, saunas, massage rooms and other supporting facilities are all available. The only drawback is that there is no dedicated swimming pool.
"Sonia!" A female coach greeted her, "Is it still the same today?"
"Yes, the same old thing."
"Are you still feeling urgent to urinate?"
"No more." Sonia said, "Doing exercises is useful."
"Let's do another stage of posture training to consolidate it." The female coach said, "You go to warm up first."
The fitness coaches here are personally trained by Chen Sigen and others, and their professionalism is no worse than their counterparts in the old time and space - the key is that they have no KPI assessment for selling classes and can focus on their own profession. In addition to providing
In addition to serving the elders and their families, they also have to provide related fitness and sports services to the students, soldiers and factory workers in Fangcaodi - currently they mainly teach various aerobics.
Sonia is a frequent visitor here and does not need the guidance of a coach. She goes to the locker room and changes into loose fitness clothes on her own. Her daily fitness starts with a cardiorespiratory warm-up. Since there is no treadmill here, she usually takes a five-minute slow workout.
Warm up by jumping rope quickly.
After the warm-up is completed, it’s time to start strength training. Generally, maids don’t do strength training, but Sonia does some appropriately. After all, she has to go out frequently for inspections and needs plenty of physical strength. So she is one of the few maids who consistently does strength training.
.For this reason, the Lin Hanlong family consumes a lot more fish than other patriarchal families.
After half an hour of strength training, she took a short break and started doing aerobics again. The whole process took about an hour and a half, and then she had to go to the massage room, where the coach massaged her whole body to relax her.
Muscles, and finally, go to the bathroom and take a comfortable hot bath.
"Although it's not in the sultan's harem, it seems to be pretty much the same." Sonia immersed her washed body in the steaming, fragrant cypress wood bathtub, enjoying the comfort of the hot water added with essential oils to soothe her sore and swollen body.
She had vaguely felt this way at that time. Suddenly, she felt a little sad in her heart. The various enjoyments that the Australians spared no expense in providing themselves were nothing more than admiration for her body. She had left her family, given up her marriage, and returned to Lisbon from Brazil.
, full of longing to join the guild and go on sailing adventures... These seem to be past events a long time ago. The "female naturalist of Lisbon" in the past no longer exists.
Sonia is a little sad. To be honest, she is not dissatisfied with her current life. After all, her master loves her very much, not to mention the various enjoyments he has given her in life, not to mention that she cannot enjoy them in her original family.
She may not be able to enjoy it in the aristocratic families of England or Portugal. And when she came to Lingao and met Australians, she opened the door to a palace of knowledge that made her tremble. The knowledge in this palace is as deep as the ocean.
There are answers to many things that countless sages and philosophers have been trying to figure out but have no answers for. They are not mysterious at all, and are even taught openly.
Where did their knowledge come from? Why did they come here? The longer Sonia lived among Australians, the doubts and fears in her heart became stronger. However, as she swam in the ocean of Australian knowledge, she became vaguely aware of
She had a feeling that "it was a lucky thing to be sold here as a slave". Of course, she would never allow this thought to come up.
