After strolling around Tianjin for a day, Zhe Zhe was both excited and tired. She lived in a male-dominated barbarian society where everything was required to follow the rules. She had never been as free as she was today. There were shops, restaurants, teahouses, theatres, and many other bustling places that did not exist in Hetuala.
However, before dark, Zhe Zhe was indeed as Yuan Qingying had guessed. She was tired of the peddlers and servants who were always staring at her. Those people were either bare-chested, unkempt, or ugly. In short, the image of the common people at the bottom was definitely not very good. Being stared at like a monkey show by these people was certainly not a happy thing for the self-proclaimed noble Zhe Zhe.
When Zhe Zhe said that she wanted to go back, Yang Jian was greatly relieved. Because on this day, their group of people was too conspicuous, and he was already a little scared. For safety, Yang Jian really used a camouflage talisman to bring Zhe Zhe back to the inn opened by Liu Fucheng outside the city.
Back at the inn, Zhe Zhe washed up and went to bed early. The next day, she had the strength to look through the various goods she bought in the city, most of which were not available in Liaodong.
For example, the 'Revolutionary Army' produced a small amount of soap and sold it at a high price when the oil supply was insufficient. This thing was unheard of for Zhe Zhe, and after using it, she could not leave it. The soap was two yuan a piece, which was frighteningly expensive. The products were also divided into several fragrance types and sold in limited quantities every day. She was distressed that she could not collect all the fragrance types, and was even more afraid that she would not be able to buy them after returning to Shenyang.
In addition to the soap, the 'Revolutionary Army' also specially developed a lot of daily necessities for women. These things were originally produced for Xu Bing alone. As the number of women around the transmigrator increased, Zhou Qingfeng transferred some skilled workers and some craftsmen recruited from the imperial palace to form the Internal Service Bureau. Therefore, the production of this kind of products was increasing. Occasionally, they were also sold.
For example, silk or cotton underwear, form-fitting clothes, portable leather bags, simple but not simple jewelry, and women's private products that could greatly improve the quality of life. These things could not be sold in other places besides Tianjin.
These goods were only sold in specialty stores, and the wealthy merchants of Jiangnan flocked to them, leading the fashion trend in the Central Plains. Many tailors from other places immediately tried to imitate the designs, but they could not compare to the original in terms of materials and details. Many of the crafts were only mastered by the Internal Service Bureau.
When Zhe Zhe was shopping yesterday, he was dazzled by these Hanfu fashions, but he only managed to buy a few old styles that were released half a year ago. She looked at the sketches on the posters in the fashion store and was immediately captivated by some of the new designs. It was just that this thing was out of stock and was only accepting preorders at the moment.
However, Hwang Tae-gil's Great Fortune was not a fool. She knew that she could not be too presumptuous in the enemy's territory. Since he had been so ostentatious yesterday, the people in the city must have noticed. If his actions fell into the eyes of an observant person, they would immediately realize that there was something wrong with his identity. She did not dare to go out the next day. She could only stay in the inn and enjoy the goods she had bought.
Therefore, on the first day after the murder, Zhe Zhe didn't go anywhere and stayed quietly. The dazzling lineup of goods was good, but it also made the 18-year-old girl's mind wild. On the second day, she had a strong desire to shop. Ordinary goods could be bought by the servants, but private goods such as fashion needed her to buy them herself.
After hesitating again and again … Zhe Zhe sighed and did not move. She really did not dare. She wanted to wait for Hwang Tae-gil to come back and think of a way for her, but Hwang Tae-gil went to the direction of Tangshan and did not come back.
On the third day, Zhe Zhe wanted to go out for a walk, but Yang Jian persuaded her not to.
On the fourth day, Zhe Zhe strolled around the inn, but she could only choose to do so at night when no one could see her.
On the fifth day, Zhe Zhe lost her temper and beat and scolded several servants.
On the sixth day. …
Just when Zhe Zhe suppressed all her unhappiness and decided to continue to stay in the inn, there was a loud shout on the street outside the inn. The newsboy of Tianjin Daily was waving the newspaper and shouting, "Extra, extra. The first Tianjin Expo will open in advance tomorrow. The exhibition will be held outside the city. All kinds of goods will be fully supplied, and all the goods will be 20% off. "
Zhe Zhe was bored in the room. When she heard the shout, she asked the servant to buy a newspaper. It was just that it was not an ordinary newspaper, but a special issue. In order to promote foreign trade, the Revolutionary Army intended to hold an unprecedented commodity exhibition. The trade exhibition and investment conference were originally held next week, but this time it was held in advance.
The expo was to carry out a certain degree of publicity for the goods and expand the influence. In order to create a sensational effect, the Revolutionary Army used all of its publicity power to publicize the powerful image of their side.
This publicity work cost a lot. The craftsmen of the Revolutionary Army even developed a precise color printing process for this purpose, specially used to print color leaflets. The brochure itself was very beautiful, and the cost was not cheap, so there was no way to give it away for free. But because the printing was so beautiful, there were even revealing fashion girls inside, and there were many people who were willing to pay for it.
After Zhe Zhe saw this brochure, she was immediately attracted by dozens of goods that she had never heard of. She especially paid attention to the content of luxury goods, and she was envious of the jewelry in the brochure. This time, her shopping desire exploded instantly. She couldn't help but want to go shopping no matter how Yang Jian objected.
"Master, if I go secretly, dress up as a servant, and make my face dirty, who can recognize me?" Zhe Zhe said eloquently, feeling that her idea must be foolproof.
Yang Jian's status was lower, and he couldn't coax her, so he could only continue to reason. There might be a woman who could reason, but it was definitely not a noble girl like Zhe Zhe who grew up in luxury. In the end, she was unruly and angry. She gave Yang Jian a few slaps, and angrily said that she wanted to go — — Why don't I dress up a little ugly?
But when Zhe Zhe was about to go out the next day, Yang Jian knelt on the spot, and persuaded with tears and snot, "Female master, are you really not pretending to be ugly? You are clearly still the original appearance. "
Zhe Zhe's ugly appearance was to choose old clothes and wear less jewelry. This was the 'ordinary appearance' in her mind. When Yang Jian asked her to change into ordinary coarse clothes, Zhe Zhe immediately slapped him, "You actually want me to dress up as a servant, what is your intention? Yang Jian, don't forget your identity. "
In the eyes of the strict female Zhenren, masters could not be talked about with servants no matter what. Zhe Zhe said to dress up as a servant, but if Yang Jian really thought so, then it was a big mistake, and he got slapped for nothing.
Yang Jian really didn't know what to do with this lady, so he could only beg, "Female master, even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for the four beilei. Tianjin is the heart of the 'Revolutionary Army', so the expo must be heavily guarded. If you go like this, won't you be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? "
Zhe Zhe's face was gloomy, but she had no choice but to compromise a little. It was impossible for her to wear the clothes of a servant, so she wore the clothes of an ordinary middle-level Han woman. She didn't wear any jewelry, and tried to make herself look ordinary. When she finished dressing up, Yang Jian found that Zhe Zhe's eyes were like swords stabbing at him.
It's over, I did it for the good of this female master, but in the end, I completely offended her. Yang Jian really didn't know where to cry. He wanted to have the ability to hook up with Abahai like Zhou Qingfeng did, but in the end, it was a disaster. When Zhe Zhe walked out angrily, he could only follow behind her dejectedly.
There was a carriage in the inn that sent Zhe Zhe and the others to the expo venue. When they arrived at the venue, they found that the entire venue was already crowded with people. A large number of militias came to maintain order and guide the flow of people. The cars couldn't stop randomly, so they could only get off at a fixed location.
When the car stopped, a servant got off first, and turned around to help Zhe Zhe down. Yang Jian could only bite the bullet and said, "Master, you are now an ordinary person, you have to get off by yourself."
Hmph …, Zhe Zhe turned her head and glared at him, then got off by herself. The surrounding servants all looked at Yang Jian sympathetically. Yang Jian, on the other hand, had a look of despair on his face. He thought to himself, "Fourth Beilei, come back quickly. I really can't take care of you, this great fortune. If this goes on, she will definitely be exposed. "
Although the expo opened ahead of schedule, the venue was still quite beautiful. Because there was no large building for the venue, Xu Bing, who was in charge of this matter, made the expo into an open-air carnival. Anyway, it was a one-stop business of eating, drinking, and playing, letting the common people come and take advantage of them, letting businessmen from all over feel their strength, and everyone was happy.
In order to achieve the effect of gaining the upper hand, the venue used the latest technological crystallization of the 'Revolutionary Army' – a colorful hot air balloon. The fuel was the tar after coal was coked, and the ball was sewn with cowhide. The technical difficulty was relatively low, and it was easy to achieve. The whole balloon was more than 20 meters above the ground, about six or seven stories high. With a good field of vision, it could be seen from more than ten miles away.
The appearance of this balloon could be said to be shocking, and countless people near and far looked up and marveled. Human beings have had the dream of flying since ancient times, and this hot air balloon could be considered to be half realized.
Zhe Zhe came by car, and as soon as she got off the ground, she found that the people around her were looking up. When she raised her head, her whole eyes were occupied by the huge ball in the sky. She was so scared that her head was dizzy, and she let out an indescribable surprised sound.
Yang Jian was still thinking that he would keep an eye on Zhe Zhe today and not make any trouble, but when he raised his head, he was also stunned. The hot air balloon was a completely conquering existence for the current people. It was completely incomprehensible, and could only be regarded as a myth. He had always been proud of his ability to fly on a crane, but this pride was broken by the 'Revolutionary Army' – there was clearly a person on the basket under the balloon.
"What is this?" When the dizziness subsided, Zhe Zhe immediately became extremely excited. She felt that she didn't come in vain, and just looking at this huge balloon was enough for her to take the risk.
Yang Jian also didn't know what this thing was. He stared blankly for a long time, and he couldn't understand how this heavy and big thing could float. Just as he shook his head and sighed, someone shouted not far away, "It's a sightseeing hot air balloon, 10 yuan for one, and it will let you see the world as if you are in a fairyland. Only 10 yuan, this is something new that has never been seen before, an emperor's enjoyment. Everyone, come quickly! "
Hearing someone shout '10 yuan for one, emperor's enjoyment', Zhe Zhe immediately made up her mind and said in an inviolable tone, "I want to go up."
Yang Jian himself was in a state of shock, and he also wanted to figure out how this balloon flew, so he unexpectedly didn't object to Zhe Zhe's request. When they excitedly or dizzily ran to line up, Yuan Qingying dressed as an ordinary woman and swam around the hot air balloon.
