Chapter 16 Male Right Female Left
"Boss, how do you sell these clothes?"
"What? so expensive?"
"What about this one?"
"Why don't you grab it?"
"And what about these over here?"
Although it is now the time for dinner, the wholesale market is still bustling.
The endless flow of people, the sound of asking for prices and bargaining one after another, made Qin Xu's head a little bigger.
"Xiao Xu, it's so big here, where are we going?"
Since Qin Xiaohua entered the wholesale market, it was as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and she kept looking left and right.
"Don't worry, let's go shopping first. ”
Qin Xu, who had just entered the market, was also a little dazed at this time.
Compared with the big market of later generations, the Hanzheng Street Wholesale Market in 94 years is very different in terms of pattern and scale.
This also made Qin Xu, who was accustomed to the style of Hanzheng Street in later generations, feel a little at a loss for a while.
However, after all, his mind was much more mature than that of ordinary people, and after a moment of stunned, he walked forward.
Walking along the main street in the market, Qin Xu would look at the shops on both sides of the road from time to time, wanting to see the current popular style.
But to his disappointment, along the way, the eye-catching clothing styles seemed to him to be as rustic as they were.
"Xiao Xu, the clothes here are so beautiful. ”
Qin Xiaohua felt dazzled all the way, where had he seen such beautiful clothes before?
But before Qin Xu could answer, he added:
"It's just that men's clothes are a little lacking. ”
Qin Xu opened his mouth, and a few black lines couldn't help but appear on his forehead.
This is the women's clothing area, if it is all men's clothes, then it is not messy.
"Big brother, it's not that there are few men's clothes here, but that there are no men's clothes at all, okay?"
"Who said that?"
Qin Xiaohua was a little unconvinced, and pointed to a white shirt in the shop next to him.
"Look, it's so big, it's not a man who wears it, but a woman wears it?"
Following the position of Qin Xiaohua's finger, Qin Xu also saw the white shirt he said.
"People are just a little looser, okay?"
Encountering such a layman, Qin Xu was also quite helpless, and pointed to the placket in front of the shirt.
"Did you notice where her buttons were?"
"What position?" Qin Xiaohua looked dazed.
"Male right, female left, men's shirt, buttons should be nailed to the right. ”
When Qin Xiaohua heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
He looked left and right, and it seemed, as if, the buttons were really on the left.
"Xiao Xu, how do you know this difference?"
Qin Xiaohua's eyes were a little different when he looked at Qin Xu at the moment, why did this guy seem to know everything?
Qin Xu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, his footsteps did not stop, and he continued to stride forward.
"Brother Huazi, you usually have to read more books, knowledge is power. ”
"Uh..."
Qin Xiaohua's face was quite strange at the moment, he graduated from high school, and he was actually educated by a primary school student?
But he had to admit that he really didn't understand what Qin Xu said just now.
However, looking at Qin Xu's sassy appearance, he felt quite unhappy.
"No, you can't let this kid be so arrogant, you must suppress his limelight. ”
Thinking like this, Qin Xiaohua's eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.
Speeding up, Qin Xiaohua quickly caught up with Qin Xu, and hurriedly pretended to be curious and asked:
"Xiao Xu, the man's button must be on the left, who stipulates this?"
"Uh, why are you asking this?"
Qin Xu looked around and moved his gaze back from a rather high-end decoration shop in the distance, and looked at Qin Xiaohua with some strange eyes.
Facing Qin Xu's gaze, Qin Xiaohua was not afraid at all, looking like I knew you didn't know, Qin Xu wanted to roll his eyes when he saw it.
However, this question is really difficult for Qin Xu.
As a guy who has been in the clothing industry for 20 years in his previous life, how can he not know this kind of common-sense question?
Anyway, there were more people in that store, and Qin Xu was not in a hurry to go over for a while, so he found a random step on the edge of the market and sat down, and asked with a smile:
"Brother Hua Zi, do you know when buttons first appeared?"
"This..."
Qin Xiaohua scratched his head, struggled for a long time, and replied honestly:
"I don't know. ”
"It was only in the seventeenth century that it became popular in Europe, and, in the beginning, it was usually the aristocracy who had buttons on their clothes, and the nobles knew it?"
Qin Xiaohua touched his nose and asked with some uncertainty: "It's the one who was an official in ancient times, right?"
Qin Xu nodded with a smile and continued:
According to the European custom of the time, men dressed themselves, while women were usually helped by servants. ”
"Sure enough, like the ancient officials, there are also servants. Qin Xiaohua lost no time in expressing his feelings.
Qin Xu rolled his eyes, ignored his emotion, and continued:
"The reason why the lady's shirt is buttoned to the left is to make it easier for the servants who serve the hostess.
And men's shirts are buttoned on the right, not only because most men wear their own clothes.
It is also because, when a man draws a sword hanging from his left waist with his right hand, the hilt of the sword is not easily caught in a shirt or coat. ”
Qin Xiaohua didn't seem to understand it, so he asked:
"Then according to what you mean, it is those guys in the West who stipulate that the buttons must be female right and male left?"
"Well, not really. ”
Qin Xu shrugged his shoulders, the story he told just now was just something he heard from others in his previous life.
However, his answer made Qin Xiaohua depressed and wanted to vomit blood.
"Xiaohua, the question I ask you is, who stipulates that the button position is male right and female left?"
Qin Xu spread his hands helplessly, "I also want to know, but in fact, no one has ever stipulated this." ”
Qin Xiaohua was a little suspicious, and he pursed his lips disdainfully.
"If you don't know, you say you don't know, if you don't have this regulation, how can everyone know about it?"
Qin Xu rubbed his head with a headache, he really had a feeling that he had just met a soldier now, and he couldn't explain it reasonably.
And when Qin Xu and Qin Xiaohua were discussing the question of who specified the position of the buttons, they didn't know that they had already attracted the attention of some people.
Originally, their combination of large and small was relatively rare in this wholesale market with a large flow of people.
Because the people who come here are basically doing business, which is the so-called self-employed.
But since it's a business, I definitely won't keep my children around.
And now, this little child is even more eloquent, discussing clothing knowledge with adults, which is even more attention-grabbing.
"Little brother, do you know why the buttons of the shirt are male right and female left?"
