Chapter 54
Although the word "street" is in it, it actually covers a large area, at least if you walk on two legs, you can walk from sunrise to sunset in a day.
However, because the empty street does not allow the driving of suspended cars, in order to facilitate people's travel, there is a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly solar car.
Solar car, as the name suggests, is a car powered by solar energy, unlike other vehicles, solar cars are not so much a car, but a suspended ball, the bottom of the suspended ball is the power system and operating system of the vehicle, so it is opaque, painted with a variety of colorful patterns, and the upper part of the suspended ball is completely transparent similar to the glass shape of the openable cover.
When you sit in it, it's like you're sitting in a big colorful bubble.
Because of its unique and beautiful appearance, the solar car is deeply liked by the obedients, but because the speed of the solar car is really slow, it cannot be at high speed at all, so more often everyone uses it as an entertainment facility.
Except in the empty street, it is regarded as a normal means of transportation.
No matter how slow a solar car is, it is much faster than two legs. So after deciding to go to Linglong Pavilion, Tang Wuqiu spent some money to rent a solar car - although he was not very big, and Bai Suluo was also very petite, but he couldn't stand the Ashlan, Angel Cat and Little Flying Squirrel - well, the size of Little Flying Squirrel was negligible - so there was not much space in this car.
However, this small space is also one of the features and pleasures of riding a solar car - especially for tall rulers and relatively petite obedient people, sitting together is a powerful tool to deepen the bond ( ̄ ̄).
Of course, Tang Wuqiu and Bai Suluo had no intention of "deepening their relationship", so after arriving at their destination, the two opened the car cover and jumped out of the solar car.
・・・・・・
In fact, the location of Linglong Pavilion is not too far away, and it only takes more than ten minutes to ride the solar car.
Linglong Pavilion is a nine-storey loft – a rare occurrence in today's forty or fifty-storey society – not counting "ancient buildings" such as Glenway Castle and Amber Palace.
However, although this Linglong Pavilion was only nine stories high, it was a hundred feet high, and the area was the size of a large stadium - Tang Wuqiu was sure that it was larger than the empire and the federal republic used to play at that time. In front of such a volume, a person standing downstairs is like facing a mountain.
I don't know if it's to fit the antique name of "Linglong Pavilion", the materials used in this building are very expensive imitation wood materials - this is a high-tech fusion material that looks like wood, it looks like a real high-grade wood, the wood is as delicate as marble, especially the rings of annual rings like dense hair, which is very "age-sensitive" - the dark cyan color makes the whole building look very majestic and atmospheric, and there is a feeling of traveling through time and space.
At this time, it was almost noon, and there were a lot of people coming and going, and after Tang Wuqiu and Bai Suluo followed the flow of people into the Linglong Pavilion, they were greeted by a lively scene like a wave - in this first floor, there were nearly a hundred shops of the same size, filled with dazzling goods, bustling customers filled every corner, and the sound of transactions came and went.
Each store here has an identical signboard, different from the word at least on it. However, unlike the dazzling variety of brand names on the outside, they are very simple with very simple names such as "medicinal herbs", "rare birds", "precious stones", etc., so that people can see at a glance what they are selling even from a long distance.
・・・・・・
In just a moment, Tang Wuqiu had already seen that the things that were put out for sale were all very rare and expensive items, and they were definitely not those that could be bought casually on the street.5./books/28/28648/
Xiaoyu walked forward. It's like a company selling mechas, although there are no samples out because of the size of the mecha, but there are virtual models in the store that are accurately scaled down, and in front of them are the standards for the name, performance, price, and so on of the mecha - the most common is also an A-class mecha. If this is sold normally on the market, it will be at least nearly one million.
But strangely, Tang Wuqiu noticed that the unit price on it was only marked with a lone 4. Could it be that this A-class mecha is only worth four yuan?!
And such items are casually placed for sale in a small shop on the first floor - the ninth floor of the Linglong Pavilion, and the higher you go, the more rare the items become.
Should it be said that it is worthy of "Linglong Pavilion"?
At this moment, it is the peak period of trading, and the whole floor is full of people, not to mention that there are so many people that they are rubbing shoulders one after another, and they are also coming and going, if you don't enter it, you can never imagine how lively it will be.
There is no doubt that it must be the same soundproofing material that Tang Wuqiu used on the walls when they entered the empty street.
Tang Wuqiu was a new face, so as soon as he entered, a woman in uniform with a smile on her face greeted her and said enthusiastically: "Sir, girl, welcome to Linglong Pavilion, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”
Don't look at Bai Suoluo, he has been to Kongjie a few times, but Linglong Pavilion is also the first time to come. So when she saw this service staff step forward, although she didn't feel the other party's malice, she also subconsciously hid behind Tang Wuqiu.
Tang Wuqiu also knew that the habits that Bai Suo Luo had cultivated for more than ten years could not be changed overnight, so he didn't do anything else, but said: "I heard that there is an auction in Linglong Pavilion today, our brothers and sisters want to go and see it, I don't know what conditions are needed for this?" ”
The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard Tang Wuqiu's request, then showed a soft smile, and lowered her voice slightly: "This is the first time you two have come here, I'm afraid you don't know, this auction is not ordinary in nature, so you need to make an appointment to enter." If you don't have an appointment, I can only say 'sorry' to them. Although she knew that the other party would not be able to go as soon as she heard Tang Wuqiu's words, her attitude had not changed for half a minute, and she did not have any intention of looking down on her.
Still need to make an appointment?
So this time there is really a "good thing"?
Tang Wuqiu's mind turned several times, but his face remained unchanged, he just nodded at the other party: "I see, thank you for mentioning it." ”
The waiter actually knew that they were either rich or expensive when he saw Tang Wuqiu's dress at first glance, and when he saw the little girl in it holding an angel cat as white as snow in her arms, he confirmed that their identities could not be underestimated. I thought she was ready to be embarrassed by the other party after answering like this, but she didn't expect the other party to be so easy to speak, so the impression became a little better: "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is no reservation, if there are guests who invite you to participate in the auction this time, you can also visit......" Speaking of this, she realized that what she just said was really inappropriate, and while silently chanting "beauty misleads people" in her heart, she quickly changed the topic, "By the way, in fact, in addition to the auction, we have a lot of interesting places in Linglong Pavilion......"
The eloquence of this service staff is very good, except for the little mistake just now, a short sentence introduced the characteristics of Linglong Pavilion clearly, and at the end, he also made a summary: "...... So, there is nothing you can't buy in Linglong Pavilion, only what you can't imagine. But there is one more important thing to note......"
"What?"
Bai Suo Luo looked very cute Yu Xue, so the service staff didn't take Bai Saluo to heart about interrupting her words: "That is to trade in Linglong Pavilion, ordinary currency will not work." ”
・・・・・・
Because the minimum consumption standard in the Linglong Pavilion is very high, not to mention those real treasures, so in order to prevent unnecessary troubles caused by a large number of money transactions, in the Linglong Pavilion, except for a small number of low-level items that can be traded with gold and silver, the rest of the things are valued as "brands", and customers must also use "brands" to buy and sell.
By the way, a "brand" corresponds to a million.5./books/28/28649/
Wedding Dress: Divine Attack. This is also why Tang Wuqiu saw that the price marked on the A-class rack was in single digits.
Led by the woman who called herself "Tattooed Embroidery", Tang Wuqiu and Bai Suluo came to the door of a room similar to a bank. However, unlike the bank, the door of this room is blocked by a faint white light, so it is not clear whether the other party is a man or a woman.
When Tang Wuqiu arrived, a lady dressed as a noble lady walked out of the white light curtain, and then the white light turned into a translucent appearance.
"This white light curtain is a means of shielding and can ensure that the customer's * is not leaked. All right, sir, you can go in. The embroidery made a "please" gesture.
Bai Suo Luo consciously let Tang Wuqiu go in - after all, according to her pocket money, it was not enough to spend here, and she still had a good time.
Tang Wuqiu raised his feet and walked in, and the moment he entered, the translucent light curtain just now instantly turned white again.
・・・・・・
From the outside, Tang Wuqiu thought it was just a small room, but when he stepped in, he realized that there was something else inside.
"Young man, are you here to sell something or do you just exchange it for the huàn brand?" Tang Wuqiu was taken aback by this voice, because he didn't see this room at all. This type of makeup is no longer used, it was indiscriminately used in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was popular in the Tang Dynasty. According to the "Chinese Women's Makeup in the Past Dynasties", the birth of this kind of makeup has a certain relationship with the popularity of Buddhism. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when Buddhism was in its heyday in China, some women were inspired by the gold-painted Buddha statues and painted their foreheads, which gradually became a custom. Emperor Jianwen of the Southern Dynasty "Chapter" cloud: "About the yellow energy efficiency month, cut gold skillfully as a star." "The yellow effect moon mentioned here refers to the makeup method of the forehead yellow. When the forehead yellow was popular in the Tang Dynasty, Wen Tingyun was chanting the sentence "Forehead Yellow Infinite Sunset Mountain" in the poem, and Li Shangyin also wrote: "Shouyang Xiong is the main wedding makeup, and the eight-character palace eyebrows hold the forehead yellow." "The Tang Dynasty cow monks and children are in the "Ghost Record", and also specially recorded the story of the goddess Zhiqiong who made up her forehead. In the Song Dynasty, the yellow forehead was still popular, and the poet Peng Ruli said: "There are women who are called fine mothers, and the pearls are painted yellow on the sideburns." These are all reflections of the ancient women's preference for yellow foreheads. In ancient times, the objects containing cosmetics also had a nice name - "makeup dowry". The history of China's makeup culture can be said to be long, in the distant past, people were known to use "stop water to identify the appearance, bathe in flowing water", wear shell animal teeth to decorate the neck, "get up in the morning to the mirror, Xiao makeup dotted the lips". Tang Zhu Qingyu said: "After the makeup, ask the husband in a low voice, and the thrush is not deep or shallow." "Everyone has a love for beauty, and the same is true in ancient and modern times. In the ancient society where women are exaggerating "the door does not go out, the second door does not step", "women are the ones who please themselves" is undoubtedly the greatest pleasure and concern of women. Although each dynasty has different social scenery, economic system, moral character, fashion and people's feelings, etc., there are also different boundaries of beauty. Huanfei Yan is thin, beautiful or not, depending on the person, time and place. In particular, in ancient times, women's social positions were low, and they were relying on men economically, and they were in a low-quality situation of being selected by men, working with multiple wives and concubines, and competing for favor with each other. Natural beauty is not available to everyone, so most women can add their style as long as they are artificially decorated and retouched, and in this way, they can win a good impression, and they themselves are in the process of decorating, and they also get some kind of psychological satisfaction. Ancient women attached great importance to the beauty of the skin, and the delicate skin was the basic condition for beauty, and it was an important criterion for measuring women's beauty...... You can also see one or two. In addition to the beauty of the skin, the people of the past also paid great attention to the beauty of the hair, combing day by day, cherishing it, and storing more hair without cutting, the early drape is on the shoulders, and then the hair is tied with rope and straps due to the needs of practice, and then gradually develop a variety of different hair bun styles, changing many ends, so that far is the Zhou Dynasty has used wigs to add the style and beauty of the head. Scholars have concluded that the most basic reason why people in the past valued skin and hair should be related to etiquette. "The body is skinned, and it is cowardly, and it does not dare to be damaged, and the beginning of filial piety is also." Therefore, ancient Chinese women had a variety of skin care products that were suitable for different needs. The effect of skin care products is basically based on cover and defense, and the wise ancients are adding some more prescriptions to them, and they add their healing effects, and the way of use is nothing more than external use and internal use. The way of maintenance can also be called colorful, as for the women in the royal compound to maintain their youth, there is a sense of secrecy, the official neighborhood scrambles to see if there is a secret recipe, and the women who chase the forefront of fashion are astonishingly imitative and contagious, from ancient times to the present. In terms of makeup and accessories, women in ancient times were more than women today, and it was not only the way to be colorful, but they also used whitewashed faces, painted cheeks with rouge, trimmed eyebrows, and dyed red lips, so that they used five-colored flowers to stick to their foreheads to add a beautiful effect. What's more amorous is that they are delicate in their makeup and sit calmly in front of the bronze mirror, which is particularly leisurely and beautiful, rather than like today's women's makeup, always busy with emotion, in the car, on the road hastily completed. 】
