In the end, the two women made a peaceful decision and let Wang Zhenzhen sit in the passenger seat.
What's there to argue about?
Xu San thought so in his heart, but he had to pretend to see it.
Even during the war, as the provincial capital and Lao Yan's former base camp, Taiyuan was still very prosperous. Although it was not as noisy as the commercial streets of later generations, it was impossible to drive a car in.
There were no parking lots in this era, so Xu San parked the car in front of the cinema.
After getting off the car, Xu San took a look at the cinema.
This cinema was a place he was familiar with. Not only had he watched a movie with Tian Xue, but he also rescued a comrade whose identity was exposed here.
Seeing Xu San stop, Miyako asked, "Do you want to watch a movie?"
Xu San looked at the film schedule and said, "You can watch "Three Modern Girls"."
"Then I'll buy a ticket!"
"I'll buy it later, this one later, and let's go make you clothes first."
"Okay, I'll listen to you all."
Everyone strolled away and turned a corner, which was Bell Tower Street which was too far away.
Looking at the dilapidated bell tower, Xu San said, "Many cities in China have such a bell tower, and the city's commercial center basically expands around this bell tower."
Miyako also looked up at the tall and weathered bell tower, and couldn't help but marvel in her heart, "This species must have also experienced the baptism of artillery fire."
"When the locust army attacked too far, the bell tower had fallen into disrepair." Wang Zhenzhen took over from Xu San and began to work as a tour guide for Mia Zi. "According to literature records, this bell tower was built in the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming Dynasty, Fu Under the initiative of the mountain grandfather Fu Lin, funds were raised for reconstruction. The bell tower is divided into two parts: the platform base and the pavilion. In the pavilion hangs a huge bell, which is more than ten feet high and weighs more than a thousand kilograms. Every morning when the time is struck, the sound can reach a radius of more than ten miles, and with The sound of the drums in the Drum Tower at dusk is a perfect match for each other, and is the basis for keeping track of time for the residents of Taiyuan City. When the bells ring, the city gates open, and thousands of households move around; when the drums sound, the city gates close, and people are under curfew. This is how people were guided in ancient times. The saying of "morning bells and evening drums" in daily life.
Miyako listened with great interest, and then walked up with Xu San. The view of the business district from the bell tower was quite unique.
After watching it for a while, Miyako raised her own question, "Since it's called a bell tower, what about the bell?"
If Miyako didn't ask, Xu San really didn't notice this problem.
The place where the clock should have been hung is now empty, with nothing there.
"About eight or nine years ago, the bell was dismantled due to disrepair and decadence. I heard it was placed over the Zhuangyuan Bridge."
After listening to Wang Zhenzhen's words, Miyako asked, "しゅじん, can we go and have a look?"
"Let's go then. The Zhuangyuan Bridge is not far away. Let's go there right now." Xu San agreed readily, because he had never seen this clock before, because in his time the clock had long been lost in the war.
It's not far, just a half-hour walk.
Standing on the bridge, you can see the big bell that is half buried in the soil.
According to Wang Zhenzhen, the bell should be made of copper and more than 1.8 meters tall. It should be taller than Xu San when it was dug out.
It’s not easy to steal such a big object!
Did a kid steal it?
No!
Xu San quickly rejected his idea because he knew that in this era, he had stolen the clock.
Yes!
After Xu San saw this big clock up close, he fell in love with it and decided to take it back and modify it to use it as an alarm clock to wake Xiaohong up.
Xu San touched his chin, wondering when and who to find to get the bell out.
Miyako also became interested in the clock. After observing it for a long time, she asked Xu San to take a few photos with the clock.
After leaving Zhuangyuan Bridge, everyone started shopping under the guidance of Wang Zhenzhen.
Even if there is a war outside, the center of Taiyuan City is still very peaceful, with everything to eat and play.
Several women were enjoying their leisure time at this moment.
Tang people, noodles, candied haws, and various snacks made Miyako smile like a girl for the first time.
Finally, Miyako came to a tailor shop with a bunch of things.
This is a time-honored brand that can not only make traditional Chinese clothing, but also dresses. Even Japanese styles such as kimonos can be customized.
The shopkeeper opened his door to do business, but he didn't pick any customers.
In fact, he didn't dare to pick it, because those who dared to pick it would have been turned up and disappeared.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his early forties, thin and with bright eyes. When he heard several people murmuring in Japanese, he knew they were Japanese people coming this time, so he quickly walked out of the counter and greeted them. Bowed, "Ku, you are so anxious."
Xu San nodded and said directly in Chinese, "Measure the ruler first."
"What kind of clothes does the guest want to wear?" the shopkeeper also changed to Chinese.
"cheongsam!"
"Then may I ask, which lady is she?" the shopkeeper continued to ask.
"Well, four people want it. Measure it carefully. I'll take a look at the material first." Xu San said, reaching out to touch a hanging piece of material.
"This is brocade, it's the finest material." The shopkeeper followed behind and began to introduce. Then he looked back at his wife and asked him to measure it.
"The material is pretty good! It's just that the color is too old. Is there something a little more plain and bright?" Xu San began to find fault.
"Yes!" the shopkeeper said, taking Xu San to check other materials.
To be honest, although these materials were good, Xu San was very criticized by the pattern. After picking and choosing, he finally chose two materials made of plain crepe and satin.
Looking at the material, the shopkeeper said, "This material is double palace silk, which is not very breathable. It can only be used as autumn and winter material."
"No problem, just watch and figure it out." Xu San said casually, then looked at the four women, thought about it, and felt that these two materials were more suitable for Hua Zejin and Mia Zi.
After hearing Xu San's arrangement, the shopkeeper flattered him a little, "The customer is really discerning. Since the customer wants to make autumn and winter clothes, do you want to add a layer of thin cotton?"
"No, is it not suitable to wear cheongsam in winter?" Xu Sansha said seriously.
The shopkeeper was a little confused and asked, "Why did the customer say that?"
"Cheongsam! It doesn't look good if your thighs are not exposed!"
"Well"
The shopkeeper was speechless for a moment and could only give Xu San a thumbs up.
Then, Xu San picked two more warm-toned antique satins for Wang Zhenzhen and Nanako.
After all four fabrics have been selected, the measuring tape is over.
Xu San still has a good eye, and the materials he chooses are all commercial products. Four sets can make the shopkeeper a small profit.
This store is quite large and not only offers custom-made items but also ready-to-wear items.
When Xu San was looking at ready-made clothes, he discovered something good.
Something that can make lsp excited! (End of chapter)
