Chapter 62: Pretending to be forced is expensive
In addition to the restaurant restaurant, the most is the garment store, this kind of shop only sells ready-to-wear or processing, does not sell cloth satin, want to buy fabric, you can go to the special silk village. Originally, Hong Tao thought that the ancient people were self-sufficient, and in addition to the rich, clothes were generally processed and sewn by themselves, until the end of the Qing Dynasty. But the Song Dynasty was not, and even in Zhenzhou City, a small port city in a remote area, there were several ready-to-wear stores.
Hong Tao originally wanted to buy a serious Song people's clothes, he had already asked Luo Youde, generally in the Song Dynasty, short clothes are coolies and servants, but anyone who has read and read books, regardless of whether they have fame or not, can wear the clothes of scholars, no need to be like the Tang Dynasty, what officials wear, what scholars wear, what businessmen wear, what farmers wear There are death regulations, indiscriminate clothing is considered a crime, and it is a punishment of whipping, and if it is heavy, it will be squatted in prison. In the Song Dynasty, in addition to the formal official clothing is not allowed to be worn indiscriminately, and the bright yellow cloth representing the royal family is not allowed to be worn indiscriminately, what do you like to wear, not only in terms of color, but also in terms of material, as long as you are not afraid of other people's jokes, even if you are a fisherman, you can buy a satin gown to wear.
But when he asked how much the clothes in this ready-to-wear store cost, he dispelled the idea of wearing the clothes of the scholars, and the price was a bit expensive! A fabric skirt with a slanted collar costs 370 yuan. The problem is that this skirt can't be worn alone, and it has to be draped with an unbuttoned cardigan outside, which is also a gauze at the most, and the price is more than 600 yuan. You put on a skirt and a blouse, you can't wear your hair loose, and you have to wrap your hair into a fist-sized pimple with a piece of cloth called a head on your head, which costs 300 yuan!
It's not enough to have an outerwear, you can't go out in two robes with a bare buttocks, so you have to come with a pair of pants, and the cheap one has to be 500 Wen, plus a belt of 200 Wen, a pair of linen shoes is about 30 Wen, if you want to go out or something, you have to buy a Song Dynasty backpack called a hitch, and it is more than 300 Wen. It is no wonder that the children of poor families can't afford to study, and they have to buy two sets of student clothes to top two stones of rice, which is enough for the family to eat for several months.
Hong Tao just wanted to pretend to be fun, he didn't like this kind of robe, it was too cumbersome. If it was cheap, he would buy two clothes and play with Carl, so it's so expensive. It doesn't matter if there is no suitable garment, you can also buy materials here to order, how much is the material, you will be charged one-third of the manual fee, which is very fair! So Hong Tao bought himself and Carl two soft linen cloths woven from cotton and linen, one ivory and one black, and asked the tailor in the shop to make two sets for himself and Carl according to the summer casual clothes he wore in this life. It doesn't matter if there is no button, Hong Tao only let the store lock the buttonhole as it is, and he will send the button himself. There are heavy shells in the sea, go back and grind a few, and drill two small holes to be a button. The rest of the cloth makes an arm for one person again, and it is just right!
However, the clothes can't be taken today, it will take at least two days, Hong Tao is not in a hurry, just let the ready-to-wear store make the clothes and send them to the shopkeeper of Zhenhailou, and the money will be given to him first. If you have clothes, then it's time for shoes, to be honest, Hong Tao is really not suitable for walking barefoot all day, there is no way at sea, but on land, it is still necessary to have a pair of shoes on your feet.
That kind of cheap hemp shoes Hong Tao will definitely not buy again, cheap is cheap, I can't help but wear it, spending 30 yuan to buy it is not as good as 10 yuan to buy a pair of straw shoes, it is cheaper and affordable, in fact, the second child of the shoe and hat store is what it means, he just didn't want to say it.
"Is this pigskin or cowhide?" Who is Hong Tao, he can see the expression on Xiao Er's face clearly from the corner of his eyes, and he said that pretending to be forced to slap his face is particularly enjoyable, this time Hong Tao plans to try it himself to see if it is comfortable.
"If you return to the guest officer, it is a cowhide ......" The quality of the shopkeeper is still good, Hong Tao and Carl are dressed as coolies in shorts and shorts, and they are barefoot, and they are already very benevolent to be able to ask and answer.
"Can you make custom shoes here? Come, bring pen and paper, I'll draw a pattern, and I'll make it for me according to the pattern...... Ten pairs! Hong Tao picked up a pair of cowhide shoes and looked at it, not satisfied, the bottom was too thin, soft and soft, not suitable for long roads, and the weather on Hainan Island, wearing leather shoes seemed to cover the feet.
Hong Tao can't stand wearing straw sandals, and his toes will soon be worn out, in case of inflammation and infection, there are no antibiotics in this era, because a pair of shoes is very unjust if he loses his life. I can't afford to wear hemp shoes, that thing is too sturdy, and it is only suitable for daily wear by city dwellers who do not work much. It's a little hot to wear leather shoes, and the leather shoes at this time are not low-top, mid-top, a bit like short boots, more than 20 degrees all year round, and still wet, wear a pair of short boots? It's too good to fit.
Therefore, Hong Tao wants to make shoes by himself, and make leather sandals for later generations, which are more comfortable than straw shoes, stronger than hemp shoes, and cooler than leather boots. However, in the choice of leather for the sole and upper, Hong Tao talked to the shoemaker of this store for a long time, and finally persuaded him to make shoes for himself. These Song people are too real, and those who don't make it strong don't do it, for fear of smashing the brand, even if the guests are happy, they are not happy.
Three layers of thick cowhide sewn together as the sole, the best soft cowhide cut into thin strips, and then hand-woven into a narrow leather width, forming a fork on the upper, this is the upper, the upper also extends out of a section, just to the place of the ankle, is a leather case, tied with a leather rope, this pair of shoes is fixed on the foot, walking and running with the foot, is a bit strange.
Don't say that the Great Song people say it's weird, Hong Tao himself looks weird. This Nima is the kind of sandals worn by girls in later generations, it's nothing more than no heel. However, due to the limitations of materials and technology, Hong Tao can't think of a better way to make shoes, girls wear what girls wear, and men in the Song Dynasty still wear dresses, which can be regarded as following local customs. Speaking of this problem, Hong Tao was very dissatisfied, he felt that the Great Song Dynasty was good elsewhere, but the men of the Song Dynasty were a bit of a sissy. Not to mention wearing dresses, I love to arrange flowers and makeup when I have nothing to do, and the clothes on my body are smoked with spices, and then a sachet is hung to make it more fragrant than a woman.
Hong Tao has secretly made up his mind not only to save the Great Song Dynasty, but also to change the stinky beauty and sissy problem of the men of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will continue to develop like this, and this national flag can be changed to a six-color flag in the future.
