In addition, the clothes are also different.
It’s definitely not about wearing less when it’s hot, wearing short clothes will make you comfortable. It is by no means that the more popular fabrics you wear, the more tasteful you are.
At this point, the "old Beijing people" of the old days have already summed up a set of rules that are not chaotic at all, and the colors of fabrics have their own rules.
Roughly from the beginning of summer to the third day of the third lunar month, the single clothes are spun to various kinds of luo, gauze and linen, and the colors are mostly white, moon white, lake color and sapphire blue.
(Note: Linen cloth, plain weave cloth and ribbed cloth made of pure hand-woven ramie. Also known as ramie cloth, raw cloth, linen cloth, flat yarn. Because it is often used in summer clothes and is cool and pleasant, it is also commonly known as linen cloth, summer cloth . )
This set of clothing standards even has additional meaning, and can also show a certain age, accomplishment, taste, and class.
Of course, after the "movement", color concepts like "sapphire blue" and "lake color" are already very unfamiliar to people. Few people can tell the difference between "teeth white" and "moon white".
Many old fabrics are even replaced by industrial products because they are particularly troublesome to make by hand. They are "low-yield, high-price, old and aging" products. The market is in decline and no one recognizes it.
But from Hong Yanwu's point of view, now he is unwilling to show off his scars and muscles to the public and attract attention. I don’t want to wear those shabby chemical fiber things anymore, which will please others and embarrass myself. You can also more deeply appreciate the benefits of these "outdated by the times" fabrics.
For example, Liuyang round silk fine linen cloth once dominated the world for its exquisite weavers and particularly delicate texture. It was listed as a tribute to the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as Hong Yanwu learned about this kind of clothing material from Wang Yunlin, he went to several stores to ask about it, and finally found it in the "Rongchang Cloth Store" in "Dashilan".
(Note: Rongchang Cloth Shop is the time-honored "Ruifuxiang" in Beijing. This silk and satin shop was renamed "Hong Weibing Cloth Shop", "Hongqi Cloth Shop", "Yingxin Cloth Shop", "Rongchang Cloth Shop" during the "Movement" Cloth store")
The price is really not cheap, 80 cents per foot, which is more expensive than 54 cents per foot of pure cotton, but once you wear it, you can't take it off.
Because you get what you pay for, the breathability is really good, the fabric is fine, and it doesn’t stick or stick. It can also be ironed and flattened, and it is really comfortable and cool to wear.
Hong Yanwu found it again and wanted to buy more. Asked again, three silks, six silks, plus the once famous "chicken bone white", the whole store only has less than four pieces of Liuyang linen.
The old master who received him also said that although it was a Chen cloth that had been left in the shop for more than ten years, the quality was not faulty. This thing is also expensive to purchase. Even if you want more, you can only get a 10% discount on the price. But since it is not made of cotton, the cloth ticket can be waived.
Why are Hong Yanwu so polite? But maybe that's all it takes to cover the whole capital. Needless to say, I won them all at seven cents and two feet. He paid off more than three hundred yuan.
Not to mention that it was beyond the master's expectation, it was a sensation on the spot, making all the clerks and customers nearby stunned.
The young people discussed it privately for several days. Everyone thought Hong Yanwu was a huge fool. It's something so expensive and not fashionable. Isn't it wrong to buy so many pieces at once?
But who knows who is stupid? Several old masters in those shops regretted it afterwards and felt that they should have bought some earlier and kept them for themselves. These are all sold, and you may not be able to buy them again in the future.
These are not the only people who really understand, including Lao Su.
When the veteran tailor saw the cloth that Hong Yanwu brought, he stretched out his hand and folded it a few times before he sincerely praised it.
Lao Su said that only when the warp and weft threads are used well can it be so smooth and soft. It’s been more than ten years since I’ve seen such fine fine linen. Moreover, the technology of weaving ramie yarn into a cloth-like shape has been basically lost. This cloth is definitely worth buying! Eight cents? You should buy one piece!
Hong Yanwuke is so beautiful.
Following this, the Su family father and son worked together for two weeks, and the entire four families in the east courtyard of Guanyin Yuan all had new summer clothes.
Let me make it clear here that this is not Hong Yanwu being stupid and generous for no reason.
The Su family's father and son make clothes for free, and they always help. They are courteous, so it is appropriate to repay them with fabrics, right?
The Bian family doesn’t have to give it away for free, Bian Jiangong can earn money now. After listening to Hong Yanwu's recommendation and hearing that the food was delicious, I quickly ordered one for the whole family.
Only Lao Ding is such a stingy person that he is really reluctant to pay for it.
In the end, Hong Yanwu felt that he had plenty of materials anyway, and it would not be good for the whole hospital to have Xia Yi alone. So he took the initiative to ask Su Jin to make another jacket for each of the Ding family members, as a sign of respect for the elderly.
At this time, all the talents in the hospital felt the "beauty of linen".
The older ones use natural color or gray-blue, the young ones use white, and the women also embroider some patterns.
As soon as they put on these new clothes, except for the Hong family couple and Tailor Su, who had seen and used them before, everyone else sighed, "The previous summer was wasted." Everyone loved it.
But speaking of it, among all the people, "Tang Xin'er" is the happiest.
Because not only did she have clothes made of Liuyang Xiabu, don’t forget, Wang Yunlin also gave her a piece of material and Su Jin made her into a ready-made garment.
The clothes were made of old materials, better than Liuyang linen. It was called "Xiangyun yarn", also called "coating yarn", "bundle silk", and "yam yarn".
This is an ancient and traditional natural silk material in Guangdong, my country. It is made by soaking natural fabrics in original colors directly with the juice extracted from kudzu (ranunculus) stems and coating them with mud. After being left for a period of time, it is made by special processes such as sun exposure.
It is also purely handmade and very rare.
The advantage is that it is cool in summer and gentle in winter. The longer it is worn and washed, the better the feel and color will be. The characteristic is that when you walk, your clothes will rustle when they rub against each other.
The only drawback is that in the stages and movies of the Republic of China, this cool fabric became the professional clothing of the "KMT" agents.
This is a headache. That's why Wang Yunlin's piece of material has been kept in the cabinet for many years.
Originally, the old lady wanted "Tang Xin'er" to wear whatever she wanted at home. Unexpectedly, "Tang Xin'er" simply used it to make a dress.
Now I can wear it openly and openly, and it actually looks more beautiful.
Even Wang Yunlin couldn't praise her enough when she saw this outfit. She couldn't help but say that "Tang Xin'er" is smart.
After talking about home appliances, kitchen and bathroom facilities, clothing, and cooling supplies. These things are also indispensable.
For example, let's take a fan. There was a saying in the past, "If the fan is windy, hold it in your hand and wait until the beginning of winter if someone comes to borrow it."
It’s not really about how stingy this person is, but it’s about the importance of the fan.
This is absolutely true. In summer, everyone can hardly leave their hands for a moment.
Even if Hong Yanwu was rich and used an electric fan in advance, he still couldn't live without it. Because you can’t carry a fan with you, right? Besides, where can I find a power source?
But there is one thing you must know. Although everyone shakes a fan, the fans used are also different due to differences in gender, age, occupation and cultural recuperation.
