All in all, with the quiet appearance of the wormhole across time and space, and the arrival of Miss Cai Rong, the standard-bearer of the "Women's Liberation Movement", the peaceful daily life of Jin Qina, a female literary youth of the Republic of China and a single mother, has been plugged in since then and is gone forever.

Of course, at this moment, whether it is the maid Zhang's mother or the little Lori Jin Xingzhen, they still have no idea about the terrible future they are about to face - all they know is: there are guests at home! And there is a Westerner who is still blonde and blue-eyed!

Fortunately, in Shanghai, there have always been so many foreigners that even the most uninformed citizens have long been surprised.

What's more, as one of the well-known writers in Shanghai, "Teacher Qiong Yao" does have editors and readers at home from time to time.

Therefore, after learning that a guest came to the door early in the morning, Zhang's mother just nodded calmly, went to the kitchen and brought out a few cups of hot tea, and then sued for a crime, went out and squeaked and pedaled an old bicycle to send Jin Xingzhen to elementary school.

“…… After Zhang's mother sent Xingzhen to elementary school today, she should go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, fish, pay utility bills, and visit grocery stores...... When she comes back from a circle, it will be two or three hours later! During this time, there will be no one else in my house. Heh-"

In the small living room, which was very simply decorated, she had not slept all night, and in this case, no one could sleep, with thick dark circles under her eyes, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, "...... Take advantage of this time. We should be able to talk about it. ”

As she spoke, she peeked at the six twenty-first-century guests on the canvas sofa in the living room.

In fact, since traveling to this great age of blood and fire. She never thought that she could still be involved with Shijie in the past.

However, when the future professional time-traveler appeared in front of her without warning, Jinjina had to admit that fate was so wonderful - when she sobbed and wept night before, thinking of her relatives a century later, no one could save her from the sea of suffering; And by the time she has adapted to the life of this era. When they had their own careers, fame, and families, these guys came.

What's even more embarrassing is that the name of the unit they belong to is so weird...... Alas. In the future, China's time and space management work will be handed over to the urban management agency? No matter how you think about it, it should be the Dragon Group of the National Security Bureau or the secret operations department of the General Staff, or even some secret base, right?

- This female literary youth doesn't know that there is indeed a dragon group in the National Security Bureau. But that's where the second ancestor and the frustrated officials hang out.

And. The clothing and identity of the members of this group of "Chengguan Dogtooth International Column" also seem to be very strange and tangled.

The first is an old man in a blue tunic who calls himself the political commissar of Yang Wenli. Judging from his appearance, this old man looks very heroic, his eyebrows are erect, and although his facial skin is a little loose, he is full of flesh and bones, and his eyes are blazing. You can vaguely see a bit of the unique awe-inspiring momentum of soldiers.

Next was a young man with an ordinary appearance, who claimed to be the captain of Wang Qiu's team. It doesn't seem like anything special. He only wore an ordinary gray chengguan uniform. But even just sitting there can make Jinjina feel full of killing aura coming towards her!

This guy looks like an ordinary college student, what terrible thing has he done to have such a terrible murderous aura?

- Well, strictly speaking, the total number of people killed by Wang Qiu with missiles, rockets, poison gas, and bacteriological weapons in different time and space is probably already calculated in units of "tens of millions", and it is estimated that it has long exceeded the murder records of famous tyrants such as Hitler and Stalin.

Then there is a royal sister in a thin sweater and casual shirt, named Ma Tong. She has a slender figure, long black hair tied up in a single ponytail high behind her head, eyes slightly squinted like crescent moons, and lazy eyes, slightly puffy eye sockets, and obvious dark circles...... Well, it looks like a typical unrestrained woman who is addicted to excessive nightlife and forgets to sleep, which seems to be compared to her current self.

Later, it was the petite Lori who was the first to pop out of the wormhole last night, Miss Cai Rong, to be honest, she is really petite, her height is definitely no more than 130 cm, her hair is coiled into two balls wrapped in white gauze nets at the back of her head, and as for the clothes she wears, it is even more strange: super small 65-style green military uniform + red river crab cockade + red armband with the word "Fengji"......

- You're cosplaying, right? You must be cosplaying, right?

Miss Jinchina, a former Internet female writer, couldn't help but feel deeply mentally broken for a while, and couldn't help but make the above crazy complaints in her heart.

Fortunately, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army still wore black or gray military uniforms and octagonal hats. As long as you take off the red river crab cockade on your hat and take off the red armband on your arm, even if Cai Rong wears such a 65-style green military uniform on the street, she will not be targeted by Kuomintang spies.

Next is a blonde Russian girl, Sonya, who is said to have werewolf blood. Although this Russian girl came from the icy north, her figure and appearance were not very rough, and could even be said to be delicate - her blonde hair was as smooth as silk, her eyes were as green as a lake, her lovely nose was slightly upturned, and her skin was as white as snow...... But like a lot of hair, she had a flat silver flask hanging from her waist, and when she spoke, her mouth seemed to be slightly spewing alcohol, as if she had just drunk it.

It is strange that Miss Sonia's position is also a political commissar - does such a small team need two political commissars?

- What Jin Qina didn't know was that due to a series of mistakes during the earliest job transfer, Miss Sonia, who was employed in the form of a wolf dog, was unfortunately hired by Ma Tong and Wang Qiu for an official dog, and as a result, she couldn't get her salary. Only the monthly dog food allowance can be credited. Later, because there were too many troubles in the mess, and I couldn't look down on this dead salary, Sonya's official dog establishment has not been changed.

Zuihou is a Japanese girl with clear eyebrows. The self-proclaimed leader of Japan's supernatural world, Kotori Yumashiro, who once served as the prime minister of Japan, according to the introduction of the guests. Not only is she the strongest superpowered girl in Japan, but she was also once one of the famous AKB group singers......

Although Kim Kina first heard that the Japanese actually made AKB singers the prime minister, she was once scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. But then, when she heard that the Japanese almost made the porn actress Hatano Hanari, who was filming AV, the prime minister, the prime minister, and cooperated with a group of "actress ministers" in the prime minister's mansion to shoot the "naked cabinet" porn movie. I don't think it's anything - the AKB cabinet is the AKB cabinet, isn't it just too cute? It will not be more humiliating than the former Prime Minister's wife entering the world of customs with a female minister, taking the lead in stripping and selling meat for the enjoyment of prostitutes around the world!

Alas. If only Japan had such cuteness in these days. It's a pity that the Japanese Empire, which is in full swing at the moment, has not been broken by the American father and abused and betrayed his cute skills. Degenerate from a wolf to a dog. is still following the brutal and heavy-tasting S.M route of dark hunting......

INTERVIEWER This can be seen in the changes in Japanese society. The cute things in the world are all abused, which is definitely an unbreakable universal truth.

However, no matter how harmless the appearance of cute and cute things is to humans and animals, as long as the conditions are right, they will quickly transform into killing maniacs who are careless about human lives - in fact, all these guys who follow Wang Qiu are not embarrassed to go out to meet people if they don't have hundreds or thousands of lives in their hands.

On the other hand. The super-space-time city management and foreign friends who came to visit from a hundred years later are also looking at this young female literary and artistic traveler.

- A half-worn long-sleeved shirt with blue florals on a white background. The wide hem of her clothes showed off the thinness of her figure. Trousers of the same color and style, slender legs are barely visible when walking, black flat cloth shoes are underfoot, and the white soles of the feet are not wearing socks, but they still look as moist as white jade...... is obviously very ordinary, and even some rustic clothes are worn on her body after a hundred years, but they have a little more moving style out of thin air.

No matter what era it is, people who can make certain achievements in a certain field have their own unique bearing.

“…… Miss Jinjina, about the general knowledge of wormholes and traversal, I think Comrade Cai Rong should have explained to you roughly last night. And you have made it clear that you are not willing to leave your daughter on this plane behind for the time being, and return to our time alone......"

After being silent for a while, as the oldest elder, Professor Yang touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "...... As for what we can do in Shanghai in this era, or what do we want to get from this era...... I'm afraid you have to inspect the environment first! ”

“…… That's right! Sister Kim! Don't write anything today, go shopping with us! Next time, we can bring the whole modern martial arts novel over, and you don't have to think about it at all, just copy it directly...... Well, even copying manuscripts can let our people do it for you! ”

Cai Rong, who was familiar with herself, jumped up from the sofa with a smile, "...... So, change your clothes and go! Sister tour guide! ”

So, Jin Qina had no choice but to scratch her hair with tears and laughter, go back to the bedroom, change into a new cheongsam, and dress up again. And the professional traversers have long been experienced in wearing body armor under their coats, and they also carry pistols and anti-wolf electric shockers to prevent accidents.

Next, the "one-day tour of the old Shanghai of the Republic of China" for the future people of the 21st century set off from the small concession house of Jinqina.

————————————————————————

Under the packaging of modern film and television and literary works, Shanghai Tang in the Republic of China era seems to have become a wonderful stage that exists on yellowed old photos, filled with a distant and misty literary and artistic dream, and all kinds of wonderful dramas have been staged again and again in this "adventurer's paradise".

——There is loneliness in the vicissitudes of life, and there is prosperity in the loneliness. This is Shanghai Tang, the most glitzy city in China in the first half of the 20th century.

At this moment, Wang Qiu and others saw a Shanghai written by Zhang Ailing: tall towers, imitation Western-style buildings; streets piled up with plane trees, rickshaws shuttling through the streets and alleys; women's low-pull hair and long cheongsam; Advertising pictorials that look like oil paintings; Paramount and Dashijie who are drunk with gold. The tired and beautiful singing of the dancers echoed in the ten-mile field...... The Huangpu River reflects the scenery on both sides of the river, dotting the whole of Shanghai, as if telling the story that once happened in this city - there are storms and clouds. There are heroic and tragic songs, and there are also wind and snow......

However, Wang Qiu is not the kind of literary and artistic freshness, and he does not have the sentimentality of Zhang Ailing at all, and he didn't expect to care about the romantic style of the street scene of old Shanghai at all, and only paid attention to the level of prices. The stability of the social order and the purchasing power of potential consumers.

Overall, the first impression of this "modern metropolis" is from the perspective of a futuristic person. It's not very good.

The bustling Shanghai in 1934 gave Wang Qiu the feeling that, in addition to having a larger population, was probably compared with the remote and small county towns in the interior in the eighties and nineties. There aren't many noticeable differences. There are also many quaint-looking wooden buildings on both sides of the street. The rest are mostly brick houses, and cement buildings with a real "modern atmosphere" are still rare. The quality of road construction is also poor, even in the Shanghai Concession, where infrastructure is the most well-built, not every road has been hardened, and in many places it is still gravel or sand, and when it rains, it is like a swamp. There are also some old paths paved with polished and shiny bluestone slabs, and occasionally there are a few unknown weeds in the cracks of the stone slabs.

- Cement was still called ash in those days, and the domestic production was very small. It mainly relies on imports from foreign countries across the ocean, and the price is naturally very expensive. Often a barrel of cement costs several oceans, and if it is shipped inland, the price will continue to rise. Therefore, reinforced concrete buildings are a rarity in China. The situation in Shanghai is quite good, at least a few concrete buildings can be seen on most of the streets in the concession, if it is far away from the coastline and the Yangtze River waterway, there is not even a single cement building in the territory of a county!

In addition, most of the streets do not have green belts on either side, and even street trees are only found in the most prosperous Western-style shopping streets. In the 21st century, you can see the kind of "shikumen houses" that have been preserved as traditional buildings of old Shanghai everywhere - brick walls and green tiles, wooden door panels, wooden windows, only two or three stories high, and a narrow balcony surrounded by a wooden fence on the side facing the street, which is also considered to be the characteristic of old Shanghai.

It seems that the custom of Chinese to advertise small advertisements has been inherited since the Republic of China era, and the walls of buildings along the streets of Shanghai in this era are also full of all kinds of illegal posters. Most of the posters are all kinds of merchandise, from daily necessities to service industries to pornography, gambling and drugs. For example, as soon as Wang Qiu walked out of Jin Qina's small bungalow, she saw an advertising poster on the courtyard wall opposite her house: "...... Our store has a batch of new Swiss watches, the style is luxurious and novel, the price is cheap, and the buyer can get a ninety-five discount before the X month X, and the address is in ......"

The text below is not visible because another poster of a brothel that is not yet dry obscures the address, "...... XX Street XX Shuyu (the most exclusive brothel in Shanghai, equivalent to Beijing's Bada Hutong) has several new Japanese women, dignified appearance, delicate temperament, good at a variety of Japanese musical instruments and dances, fluent in Chinese. I hope that the elegant people in Shanghai will come to ......"

——Shanghai in this era is the most fashionable place in China and an important window for Chinese foreign exchanges. Western medicines, automobiles, electrical appliances, small hardware and other foreign industrial products, as well as all kinds of foreign prostitutes, have poured into the interior in large quantities from Shanghai, and the tea, silk, minerals and other agricultural products exported from the mainland to foreign countries have also arrived in Shanghai along the Yangtze River and railways, and then loaded and transferred to various places in Shijie from here.

Moreover, in order to avoid tariffs and reduce the high amount of gold along the way, most of the goods from other coastal provinces in China also chose to be transported to Shanghai by sea for sale—not only because of the transportation problems, but also because of the fear of exploitation by various warlords along the way.

This lucrative trade was mainly controlled by the foreign banks of the major powers in China, as well as the Chinese merchants with whom they had close business dealings. This can be seen from the billboards on both sides of the street. Among them, due to the geographical proximity, Japanese products account for a large share of the Shanghai market, and there are also a large number of advertisements for Japanese language classes in the posters, even with the intensifying anti-Japanese trend in the three northeastern provinces, it cannot change the fact that China at this time is the largest dumping place and source of profits for the Japanese!

Although cars and trams are often seen on the streets of Shanghai, they are more common in board cars and rickshaws. The rickshaw drivers generally wore coarse cloth jackets, coarse cloth trousers, and a thick belt around their waists that doubled as money bags. Their skin is tanned, and their exposed arms are muscular and their joints are thick. However, compared with modern people, the skin color of these manual laborers in the Republic of China era is obviously darker, lacking luster, and the bruises on the arms are generally erupting, giving people the feeling that they are overdrawing their lives.

However, compared with the unemployed who can't even find a job, these rickshaw drivers who can at least get a bowl of rice are obviously not the worst - in the early thirties, starting with the Great Depression in the United States, a terrible economic crisis broke out in the whole capitalist Shijie, from Europe to the United States, and Shanghai was naturally affected. According to the rough statistics of later generations, the number of unemployed people in Shanghai during this period often remained around 600,000. There was a long queue in front of almost every store that posted a job posting. And the number of unemployed homeless people lying on the streets of Shanghai covered with newspaper pawnshops is even more numerous. (To be continued......)
