098 Uncle Huang's distinguished guest
; A team of wheelbarrows approached, and peasant women seated on the cart wore wide-legged cotton trousers and wrapped their heads in colorful cloth. This kind of car is called a "chicken bus". There is only one wheel, which can transport goods or sit people, and it is generally used by farmers in the suburbs of Shanghai to transport vegetables and fruits to the concession area, and then buy some foreign goods for daily use.
On Wednesday, the young master drove the Ford to press the line on one side of the road, and the "chicken bus" pushed the car against the other line of the road, with a three-foot-wide gap in the middle.
Zhang Meixi looked at the group of peasants through the glass window of the car, they are the most simple and beautiful people in the world, smart, hardworking, and polite, as long as they have a bite to eat, they will not think of rebellion. As long as there is a piece of land, you can cultivate a steady stream of wealth.
Hybrid rice was one of the greatest technologies of the twentieth century, allowing the same amount of arable land to feed three times as many people. The extra population is engaged in industry, which produces a steady stream of goods and improves the quality of life.
You have to find a suitable opportunity to bring it up.
The Ford drove to the end of the Huangpu River, and along the banks were large and small docks, and boats of all sizes crowded the water like dumplings. Dock workers bend deeply, sending goods up and down.
There are no large cranes and no containers.
The shipping container is considered one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. But the invention was outrageously simple, with only one sentence, loading the goods into a standard box.
The time saved can allow workers to have a better rest and have the leisure to eat coffee and read novels.
In addition to the pharmaceutical industry, do you want to make some other inventions?
How about a screen name that pulls the wind, anyway, I can't call Mr. Shandong anymore.
When the Ford drove back to Uncle Huang's Mansion in Coral Garden, it was still early.
Young Master Wednesday, jump out of the car and come around. Zhang Meixi had already opened the car door and walked out.
On Wednesday, the young master smiled and drove the car away.
The wrought iron door of Uncle Huang's mansion was open, and Young Master Huang, Young Master Ding, and his companions walked out head-on.
Young Master Ding was the fastest to react, and he was wearing a gray and black tunics with a stand-up collar. Reaching out and placing a wide-brimmed cap of the same color on his chest, he made a hat salute.
Zhang Meixi replied with a thousand blessings.
In this era, men must wear hats in their formal attire, and they wear wide-brimmed high-topped hats when wearing suits. Wear a robe and a horse coat, and wear a melon skin hat. Among male students in junior high and junior high schools, it is popular to wear a kind of Zhongshan suit with a stand-up collar, which is an improved suit with many buttons and pockets, and this kind of clothing is usually worn with a peaked cap.
The way of taking off the hat and tilting the front body and bowing the head is common in both China and the West.
waited for Zhang Meixi to walk into the main room.
The young masters who came out of the gate laughed and discussed:
"Miss Huang family, Ding Shao's sweetheart."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm a nerd, I heard."
"Don't talk nonsense"
"Actually, it's not stupid, it's just a little weird."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"It's normal to be weird, beauties are always proud of ice and snow."
"Don't talk nonsense".
In the living room of Uncle Huang's mansion, there are some winter chrysanthemums, both yellow and white, and the size of a bowl. When Miss Huang is entertaining in the living room, she will also burn a furnace of agarwood incense.
Seeing Zhang Meixi coming in, she greeted her with a smile:
"Cousin, come and see, this material is so beautiful."
Zhang Meixi walked over to take a closer look, it is a kind of green Hangzhou silk, which is one of the most precious cheongsam fabrics, which will change color with the brightness of the light, and when the light is the brightest, it will flow like the finest jadeite, the light will become gray, and the clothing will also change with it, turning into a solemn dark green.
It is not a new invention, and the traditional craftsmen are also extremely intelligent.
"It was just sent by the eldest aunt, and we made one for each of us. In two days, there will be a dance party at home. ”
"With such precious materials, you must choose a good tailor, I don't know if it will come in time."
"What does my cousin like?"
Zhang Meixi smiled and praised it, but did not express specific opinions.
No one knows the trend of cheongsam development better than her, and in the late Qing Dynasty, the feet were not exposed, and the feet were private parts at that time. For men, touching their feet, the excitement is similar to that of touching the house in later generations.
In the Republic of China, advocating the beauty of Tianzu, the hem of the cheongsam of the ladies is put on the top of the feet, and the female students lead the fashion, revealing half of the white socks, and then the hem changes at a rate of one inch shorter a year, and it is fashionable until the root of the thigh, and it is twenty-one world.
The sleeves also began to shrink inch by inch at the wrist, until they were sleeveless, exposed shoulders, and finally, a triangle like a belly pocket barely hung around the neck, performing on TV.
Teenage ladies always fantasize about wearing a beautiful dress and dominating the crowd at big banquets and dances. Thousands of people are watching and meet a handsome and amorous prince.
If you are more scheming, you are afraid that if no one invites you to be embarrassed, you will also ask for a spare tire in advance. The young masters who just walked out of the gate are about the same role.
Although Zhang Meixi will not do this herself, she does not object to the beautiful fantasies of her cousins.
Deputy Mayor Huang's uncle is very high, and he is very interested in fame and fortune, and most of the banquets he holds are people with the same status as him, and then some subordinates of his descendants are supportive, and then a few heavyweight guests are invited to press the scene.
Nowadays, most of the people in the officialdom are the revolutionary party faction of the late Qing Dynasty. The Empress Dowager Cixi was also unlucky, "Middle school is the body, and Western learning is for use." ”
The new law trains the army and sends students to study in the East and Europe.
However, the recruits who were trained became the main force of the rebellion, and the students sent out also came back to become officials of the new dynasty and the Republic of China.
Uncle Huang sent Zhang Meixi to invite someone with an invitation, and also advised:
"Be respectful."
Zhang Meixi knew about her own situation, and she was familiar with Mr. Gao, so she directly shook a phone to explain the situation, and called the messenger to send the invitation over.
Mr. Gao took the post and was a little embarrassed:
"Even if it's a banquet, it's a Western-style dance party, and it's the most unbearable. Do you have any quick fixes?"
Around him were a group of literati and elegant guests who were extremely interested in Mr. Gao, and they all smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, in fact, Western-style dancing is just a game of a group of people going around in circles."
"Mr. Gao is talented, and he can perform something else. Shake those kitschists. ”
"What to perform"
"Since Mr. Gao is familiar with Mr. Shandong, he must have also learned some alchemy and cultivation techniques."
"Yes, yes, yes"
The literati and guests on the table clapped their hands, and one of them said:
"They learn Westerners to dance and turn in circles, and Mr. Gao performs a Chinese-style Buddha sitting on a lotus, soaring into the air, which must be shocking."
Mr. Gao got up from his seat and walked to the center of the hall.
Stretched out his hand and patted the robe of the blue cloth a few times, looked at the sky and the earth, looked at it for a few seconds, and suddenly said:
"Can't let out that big fart"
