Chapter 256: Chen Bu
Other than that, dressing is not the same.
It's not that you wear less on a hot day, but it's comfortable to wear short. It is by no means that the more popular the cloth is, the more tasteful people are.
At this point, the old "old Beijing people" have already summed up a set of guidelines that are not chaotic, and the color of the fabric has its own rules.
Generally from the beginning of summer to the three dogs, spinning silk single clothes to a variety of Luo, yarn, summer cloth, change in turn, the color is tooth hundred, moon white, lake color, royal blue is more.
(Note: Xia cloth, plain weave cloth and ribbed cloth made of ramie by pure hand-spinning.) It is also known as ramie, raw cloth, linen cloth, and flat yarn. Because it is often used for summer clothing, it is cool and suitable, and it is also commonly known as summer cloth and summer things. )
This set of dress standards even has additional meaning, and can also show a certain age, cultivation, taste, and class.
Of course, after the "movement", the concept of colors such as "royal blue" and "lake color" is already very unfamiliar to people. Few people can distinguish between "tooth white" and "moon white".
Even many old fabrics are replaced by industrial products because they are particularly troublesome to manufacture by hand, and belong to the products of "low output and high price, old and aging". In the market has been in decline, no one recognizes it.
But from Hong Yanwu's point of view, now he doesn't want to show his scars and muscles in the market, which attracts people's attention. I don't want to wear those broken things anymore, which makes others embarrassed and embarrassed. You will also be able to more deeply appreciate the benefits of these "eliminated by the times" fabrics.
Like Liuyang round silk fine summer cloth, once known for "exquisite weaving, particularly delicate texture", the Ming Dynasty was listed as a tribute to the imperial court.
As soon as Hong Yanwu learned about this kind of clothing from Wang Yunlin's mouth, he even ran to several stores to ask, and finally found it in the "Rongchang Cloth Store" in "Dashilar".
(Note: Rongchang cloth shop is the time-honored brand "Ruifuxiang" in Beijing, this silk village has been renamed "Hong Weibing cloth shop", "Hongqi cloth shop", "Yingxin cloth shop", "Rongchang cloth shop")
The price is really not cheap, eight cents a foot, more expensive than five cents and four feet of pure cotton cloth, but you can't take off the clothes as soon as you wear them.
Because you get what you pay for, the ventilation is really good, the fabric is delicate, and it is not sticky. It can also be ironed and leveled, and it is really comfortable and cool to wear.
Hong Yanwu found it again and wanted to buy more. If you ask again, three silk luo, six silk luo, plus the once famous "chicken bone white", the whole store is less than four Liuyang Xia cloth.
The master who received him also said that although it was Chen Bu, he had been thrown in the store for more than ten years, but there was nothing wrong with the quality. The purchase price of this thing is also expensive, even if you want more, the price can only be discounted. But because it is not a cotton fabric, it can be exempted from the cloth ticket.
What else is Hong Yanwu polite? But with the capital, maybe that's all. Needless to say, seven cents and two feet were all taken. More than 300 yuan, he gave it all round.
Not to mention the surprise of the master, it was a sensation on the spot, which made the clerks and the customers next to them dumbfounded.
In private, the young people talked about it for days. Everyone thinks that Hong Yanwu is a big fool. Such an expensive thing, and not fashionable, isn't it sick to buy so many horses at once?
But who is stupid who knows, a few masters in those shops regretted it afterwards, and felt that they should have bought some early to keep for themselves. It's all sold, and I may not be able to buy it in the future.
There are more than these people who really understand, and so is Lao Su.
When the senior old tailor saw the cloth brought by Hong Yanwu, he stretched out his hand and folded it a few times, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Lao Su said that the warp and weft are used well, so that they can be so smooth and soft. It has not been more than ten years since I saw a good summer cloth like this. And it can weave ramie yarn into the shape of a rob, and this technology is basically lost. This cloth is absolutely worth buying!
Bad for Hong Yanwuke.
Immediately afterwards, the father and son of the Su family were busy together for two weeks, and the four families in the east courtyard of the entire Guanyin Courtyard had new summer clothes.
Let me state that this is not Hong Yanwu's unprovoked stupidity and generosity.
The Su family and the sons of the Su family don't need money to make clothes, and they always help, and they still exchange courtesies, so they should be rewarded with fabrics, right?
The Bian family doesn't have to give it away in vain, and Bian Jiangong can earn it now. Listening to Hong Yanwu's recommendation, I heard that this material is cool, so I ordered it for the whole family.
Only Lao Ding is a dead picker, and he is really reluctant to pay for it.
In the end, Hong Yanwu felt that there was a lot of material in his hand anyway, and the whole hospital had Xia Yi, and it was not good to pull the Ding family alone. took the initiative to ask Su Jin to make a tops for the old couple of the Ding family, which can be regarded as respecting the elderly.
At this time, the talents of the whole hospital felt the "beauty of Xiabu" one by one.
The older ones are natural or gray-blue, the younger ones are white, and the women are embroidered with dots.
As soon as this new dress was put on, except for the old couple of the Hong family and the Su tailor, who had seen and used it, the rest of the people all had the sigh of "the previous summer was in vain", and everyone loved it.
But speaking of which, among all of them, "Sugar Heart" is the happiest.
Because she not only has Liuyang Xiabu's clothes, don't forget, Wang Yunlin also sent a piece of material, which was made by Su Jin.
That dress is also the material of the past, better than Liuyang Xia cloth, called "Xiangyun Yarn", also called "Copy Yarn", "Buttercup Silk", "Potato Yarn".
This is an ancient and traditional natural silk material in Guangdong, China. It is made by soaking the juice extracted from the stem of the wild kudzu (ranunculus) directly and sealing it with silt, leaving it for a period of time, and then making it by special processes such as sun exposure.
It is also handmade and very rare.
Its advantage is that it is cool in summer and gentle in winter, and the longer it is worn and washed, the better the feel and color. The characteristic is that when you walk, your clothes will "rustle" when you rub against them.
The only drawback is that on the stage and in the movies of the Republic, this cool fabric has become the professional clothing of the "Three Peoples" spies.
It's a headache. That's why Wang Yunlin's piece of material has been pressed in the cabinet for many years.
Originally, the old lady also wanted the "sugar heart" to wear casually at home. didn't expect "Sugar Heart" to simply use it to make a dress.
Now you can wear it out openly, but it will be more beautiful.
Even Wang Yunlin couldn't praise it when she saw this dress, and she couldn't help but say that "Sugar Heart" was smart.
After talking about household appliances, kitchen and bathroom facilities, clothes, and cool supplies. These things are also indispensable.
For example, there is a saying in the past, "If the fan is windy, hold it in your hand, someone will borrow it, and wait until the beginning of winter."
It's not really about how hard this person is, but about the importance of the fan.
That's absolutely true. In the summer, everyone is almost inseparable from each other.
It's that Hong Yanwu is rich and uses an electric fan in advance, but he can't do without a fan. Because you can't always carry a fan with you, can you?
However, it is also important to know that although everyone shakes a fan, the fan used varies according to gender, age, occupation, and cultural recuperation.
