Chapter 1: Mask Transfiguration 1
Because the Red Ice Country is located in the north, the climate is cold, and the people wear close-fitting short clothes, trousers and leather boots on weekdays for the convenience of their activities, and only wear formal clothes to go out on grand festivals, such as the Shangyuan Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals.
And because Chang'an Avenue is the main street of Huai'an, the capital of Chibing State, there are many dignitaries and wealthy people living in the capital, so that even if there are many shops on both sides of Chang'an Street, there will still be many merchants and vendors who set up stalls to grab stalls before dawn, and this kind of behavior also leads to the pedestrians on Chang'an Avenue compared to other streets in Huai'an City.
Because there are so many vendors and pedestrians on Chang'an Avenue that when you look at the street, you can't see the end of the street!
Due to the cold climate of the Red Ice Country, many fruits and vegetables are difficult to grow, so most of those stalls are stalls selling leather, rouge gouache, silk cloth ornaments, biographical miscellaneous, and raw poultry meat. In addition to the stalls selling fruits and vegetables, you can hardly see them, but they can also be said to have everything.
Many hawkers shouted one after another from behind their stalls in the hope of attracting customers. There are still a lot of people crowded in front of some stalls, some people really want to buy something, and some people just look at it.
Looking further to the side, there are shops on both sides of the street, teahouses, taverns, and other shops with serious facades, and there are various plaques hanging on the gatehouses of each shop.
The things sold in the shops on both sides of the street are similar to those sold by the vendors, but the quality is definitely better than that of the street stalls.
Different from the "three from the four virtues" of the Great Liang Country, "women who have not been out of the cabinet should not show their heads outside", Chibing Country is located in the north, the people are open, there are not so many rules and regulations, there are many pedestrians of different shapes and sizes on the streets, and there are many women who have not left the cabinet, and there are even men, women and children in the vendors who set up stalls.
Whether it is a vendor or a pedestrian, most of them wear close-fitting shorts, trousers and leather boots, and only a few people who go in and out of the shops, teahouses, taverns and other places on both sides of the street wear brocade clothes. You don't have to think about it to know that those people are the daughters of sons raised in high-ranking families.
The horse-drawn carriage driven by Muwen was so large and striking that many pedestrians avoided the back of the streets. I couldn't help but stop and watch, and guessed whose carriage it was......
Outside the carriage are the exotic customs and customs that cannot be seen in the country of Daliang, and inside the carriage, there are two quiet but restless people.
The curtains on the walls on both sides of the carriage were lowered, and the only source of light in the carriage was the white gauze lantern hanging from the roof of the carriage. The lanterns swayed as the carriage moved, and the light and shadow swayed back and forth.
In the corner of the carriage, Leng Qing, who curled up and wrapped himself like a brown bear, Yan Ziming lay sideways in the carriage, resting his head on Leng Qing's lap.
From the time of departure from Daliang Kingdom, although Leng Qing was cold most of the time on this road, every time Yan Ziming pillowed his head on Leng Qing's lap to rest, Leng Qing still honestly went by Yan Ziming. But since entering Huai'an, the capital of the Red Ice Country, Leng Qing would shake her legs twice when she was fine, making Yan Ziming, who had her head resting on her lap to rest, a little annoyed.
Now. Leng Qing began to shake his legs again, Yan Ziming didn't bother to open his eyes to see Leng Qing, only heard his lazy and magnetic voice float out from his lips: "What do you want to do? ”
Hearing this, Leng Qing stared at Yan Ziming with lowered eyes, and said word by word with great dissatisfaction: "You always said that we were almost home, but it has been more than an hour since we entered this Huai'an City." When will I get to your house!I knew it was so cold here, I might as well stay in Wanchun Building......" When Leng Qing said this, her teeth were chattering, she was too cold!
"What's the hurry. Huai'an City is so big, the time has naturally come. Don't worry, your master's home is definitely ten million times better than Wanchun Tower! When you see it, you will definitely forget to return. In the face of Leng Qing's dissatisfaction, Yan Ziming said so.
Although Yan Ziming's eyes were slightly closed. But the sudden candlelight projected on Yan Ziming's face, coupled with the charming smile on the corner of Yan Ziming's lips, was quite unfathomable.
When Leng Qing heard Yan Ziming's words, she was like a fried cat, and almost gritted her teeth and said to Yan Ziming: "You are not in a hurry, anyway, you are not afraid of the cold, but I am afraid! This place is too cold, and your clothes here are all useless, and wearing a few pieces is not worth a down jacket to keep warm! What I need now is an airtight room, a warm bed, and an oven with a charcoal fire inside! Oven! Do you understand?!!
Leng Qing's voice fell, but he saw Yan Ziming suddenly open his eyes and look at Leng Qing.
Originally, Leng Qing was staring at Yan Ziming, but now she was frightened by Yan Ziming's sudden action, and Leng Qing's eyes widened even more.
Under Leng Qing's inexplicable eyes, Yan Ziming frowned and asked, "Down jacket?
Although Yan Ziming didn't listen very carefully when Leng Qing said these words, after all, Leng Qing complained like this all the way, Yan Ziming had already heard it in both ears, but Yan Ziming still grasped the key words in Leng Qing's words very keenly.
was choked by Yan Ziming's out-of-the-box thinking, and Leng Qing reacted after a few seconds. So, I only heard Leng Qing explain: "The down jacket is a very warm warm warm warm clothing in my hometown, and in the cold winter weather, as long as you wear one, you won't feel cold." ”
When Yan Ziming heard this, he continued to frown, and subconsciously asked: "There are such clothes in the Nine Kingdoms?
Looking at the suspicious light in Yan Ziming's eyes, Leng Qing could only say: "The Tiancheng Continent is so vast, and there are many things that the world doesn't know, why do you want to know everything?"
Along the way, how smart Yan Ziming is, Leng Qing has a deep understanding. Leng Qing was afraid that if she continued to entangle with Yan Ziming on the topic of "down jacket", it would expose the fact that she was "not from this world", so Leng Qing deeply felt that she had to change the topic as soon as possible!
Seeing that Leng Qing was reluctant to say more, Yan Ziming became interested, and only heard Yan Ziming say as if jokingly: "Then you can tell me what material this down jacket is made of, and I will make one for you when I go back, so that you don't have to shout in front of me all day long and be afraid of the cold." ”
Leng Qing had to admit that she was choked by Yan Ziming again.
After planning for a long time, Leng Qing explained succinctly: "The down jackets in my hometown are similar to the big and cotton clothes you have here, but the filling in the big clothes and cotton clothes here is made of cotton, and the clothes are heavy and the effect of keeping out the cold is not very good. However, the filling in the down jacket in my hometown is made of duck down and goose down, which is light and has a remarkable effect on keeping out the cold. ”
Listening to Leng Qing's words, Yan Ziming's interest became higher and higher, and he immediately urged: "Oh, how do you do it, tell me quickly!"
Looking down at Yan Ziming, who was so interested, Leng Qing could only sigh in her heart: This catastrophe, she can't escape today!
Therefore, Leng Qing could only consider the words and said: "The fabric of the down jacket is the same as the fabric of the big one, but the filling of the down jacket is made of a mixture of small feathers and down." The former of the down jacket is called feather, and the latter is called down. Duck and goose feathers are mostly used, and small feathers and down are separated after washing and used as the floc for down jackets. There are two kinds of down, gray and white, and the white one is preferred.
The quality of a down jacket is related to the amount of down and the amount of down. The amount of down refers to the weight of down in a down jacket, which is expressed by two, generally about five taels, and the amount of down is small, and the warmth is poor. The down content refers to the content of down in the down, expressed in parts, generally the down content is five to eight, and the high down content is good quality.
Because the fleece can make the body heat not easy to dissipate, and the feel is soft, but when pressed and wet, it is not easy to bulge in time, and the small feather can make the clothes fluffy and bulge to keep more air in the clothes, which helps to keep warm. However, there are many small feathers, the heat is easy to dissipate, and there is a hairy feeling. Therefore, the down and feather pieces must be eclectic and properly proportioned to achieve the best cold protection effect. ”
When Leng Qing said this, although she tried her best to slow down her tone and make herself look very natural, she also changed "two hundred and fifty grams" to "five taels", changed the percentage of "fifty to eighty percent" to "five to eight parts", and even hid the polyurethane fabric of the down jacket, but Leng Qing was still trembling and scared in the depths of her heart.
From the first time she met Yan Ziming, only through that game of chess with no ending, Leng Qing knew that Yan Ziming's intelligence was not lower than her!
When she was still in modern times, there were many chess enthusiasts among the people Leng Qing knew, including her Mongolian father, a master in the chess industry, and few of them were her opponents, because Leng Qing tried her best to learn whatever she learned. However, Yan Ziming can fight with Leng Qing on the chessboard!
At this moment, recalling the chess game that night when she had not been able to distinguish the winner or loser, Leng Qing faintly felt that things were not as simple as she saw on the surface, otherwise, why was Leng Qing about to decide whether to win or lose, but Yan Ziming coincidentally cut off the way to win? Once or twice, but every time, this is very strange.
After thinking about it carefully, Leng Qing boldly guessed that it was not that Yan Ziming's chess skills were on par with hers, but that Yan Ziming intended to hide his strength!
In that night's game, Leng Qing did her best, but Yan Ziming didn't do her best! )
