The year of Gengshen in the lunar calendar, mid-May

[Late June, 1920. In the morning, Anyou Street. Gongzhou]

Have a meal and discuss:

[In the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, 1906, trams were opened in Gongzhou, with one-way lanes. In 1907, two-way expansion was expanded. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, 7 routes were laid in decades. The prosperous areas were covered as much as possible. Towed cars and separate cars]

It looks no different from a movie railcar:

[At the beginning of 1906, Gentile companies took a car lottery, which may be limited to free. It is too novel and the people cannot accept it for a while. Today's place is more convenient for carriages. With a decision, hurry up]

The two brothers went straight to the streets and looked around:

[The time is not long, I can go to the single gang. Stop the complaint and wait, and run back]

The coachman was shocked when he saw Aunt Qiao dressing up:

[Hurriedly jumped off, made a whisk tied with cloth strips. Crackly, and the bows were drawn from left to right. There was a relatively clean grey cloth, and he was busy placing a small stool in the car. It described it as very attentive]

The old city wall was destroyed early. The old site along the old city wall:

[Expanded everywhere, shops and houses. It is much more prosperous than in the late Qing Dynasty]

Many Gentile Concessions are bordered by:

[Stand up for self-esteem of foreign governments and rule of law]

Get off and walk:

[Non-asphalt pavement. Lime, sand, furnace ash slag, fine gravel, and mix with water. If you dry, just step on it, it will be quite good]

The streets are crowded and bustling:

[Whether on the street or on the wooden telephone poles, trees are planted on both sides of the road, and it is dense in summer. The cicadas are noisy and it becomes hot when they hear it. It makes people sweat more and cannot live in peace. Under the shade of the trees, there are often mobile vendors and customers. Local people]

Gentile yamen runners, pot-shaped sunshade helmet:

【Light color uniforms, leather belts, shorts and long black leather shoes, and also own leather shoes, with different colors and short tops. There are also leather exposed toes and simple Gentile sandals. However, they also wear long stockings, which are not very well matched. Grab sticks with hands or short sticks and belts with short sticks]

It was hot and I couldn't be shirtless, so the yamen runner took off his helmet:

[Take a handkerchief to wipe sweat, my mouth mumbled. My colleagues followed suit when they saw this, but couldn't find any sweat. Helplessly, I rubbed my sleeves against my forehead. I complained a few times]

A handkerchief handed a cigarette, and you can comfort me:

【The two of them stood by the street and chatted at home】

There is a one-wheeled wooden cart, which is stopped by the trunk:

[Support a stone under the wheel, stable. Selling fruits, snacks, men in their 50s]

Wrinkled face, white and black hair:

[No shouting loudly, sit quietly on a small stool and smoke dry tobacco silently. Double-breasted sleeveless grey cloth sweatshirt, many knots on both ribs. Black cloth 7-point open-end pants, barefoot thousand-layer sole cloth shoes]

The Gentile yamen run over and buy a few fruits to quench their thirst:

[The man smiled very well and took it with him. He gave him a few extra snacks and a pack of cigarettes. The yamen runners were very helpful and thanked him. There was no communication throughout the whole process and he couldn't speak. Whether the street management was not required to be asked by officials. The yamen runners decided by themselves and were in peace]

On both sides of the street, most of the Gentile buildings are:

[With a Chinese-style house, a local store is operated. The door leaf or the door panel is removed, and there is a large glass. There is even more money to be willing to spend, and make a wooden side glass door]

Signboard or guise at the door, Chinese, Gentile:

[Occasionally hanging triangles, rectangular flags, embroidered graphics. Decoration]

There is also a door panel standing against the wall, and a poster is posted:

[Hand-drawn graphics, such as product regulation instructions. Draw some patterns and the general shape of the goods. In pure Chinese, Gentiles can guess when looking at the pictures. If there is Gentile, consider the price after reading]

Gentile women hugged a young child and followed two older ones:

[Shorts, short-sleeved shirts, light-colored socks, children's leather shoes. One child wears a brimmed sun hat. Similar to the 21st century baseball hat, but it is reversed. The brim of the hat is facing backwards and sweat is constantly applied]

But I also have some thoughts and refuse to leave after feeling hot:

[One person cheated, the other followed up quickly. He pretended to be tired, and seemed to be so aggrieved. He secretly squinted his eyes and looked at his mother's reaction. He didn't cry, and he even covered his face with his hands. The other person replaced his hands and pulled his hair. His face looked confused and he thought he was about to have heatstroke]

He insisted on resting on the spot, and his mother scolded him in anger:

[After a chat, the child pretended to be trolling, and wanted to express it horizontally and vertically. The mother was helpless and gestured to the store. She couldn't speak.]

The Chinese shopkeeper understood it a long time ago and nodded:

[The big wooden barrel in front of the door, ice cubes soda. The Chinese guy took a few bottles and handed them over. The walking child was immediately obedient, gulping, gulping, gulping, gulping. But his eyes were not idle, and he stared at the large glass bottle. What? The colorful, children's candy]

Sigh again, spend money to buy Ansheng:

[Mother flipped her purse and put on various candy snacks. Her wish was fulfilled, and she was happy to show her feelings. She fought and wanted to fill her mouth quickly. Her mother was afraid that she would be looked down upon and scolded her immediately. She hugged the child with her left arm and her right hand was divided into pieces]

The Chinese guy is busy taking the bench and please sit down:

[The Gentile women couldn't help but feel grateful and smiled. They waited to sit down and their mouths were whispering. The two children looked innocent and seemed reluctant. You split up and I grabbed some. The pockets of the shorts immediately bulged, and their mouths kept chewing. They held or grabbed their hands, but were complacent again]

Another Chinese man sits under the eaves in front of the door:

[I don't know how to take a rest in the workplace, but I'm going to pick up and deliver goods. There are many sleeveless sweatshirts, long-sleeved rolls up, 7-point pants, or long trousers, mixed with shorts. Gray cloth, dyed cloth, and fabrics are very ordinary. Straw sandals, cloth shoes, and no socks]

I served a thick porcelain bowl and sat quietly for dinner:

[Listen to people's words. The companion is erect and saliva is flying. He gestures with his hands up and down, thinking that he can pick a fruit out of thin air. Three or two squatted, focused and listened with relish. When he reached the joy, he picked a cigarette with his ears. A match came to the other place, thinking that he could light a cigarette for his companion]

There is also a small stool for dinner:

[But I was not sure, I held the bowl and squatted on the stool. It seemed effortless, and it was stable. I chewed in my mouth and made a few sentences from time to time. Whenever I opened my mouth, I sprayed rice grains everywhere. My companion was happy when I heard this, but I didn't care. I just raised my hand and wiped rice grains]

Aunt Qiao dresses fashionablely, with white silk shirt and yarn sleeves:

[Symmetrical pattern on the front, embroidered peony with gold thread. Copper gilt buttons, exquisite. 1920, high-end clothing]

【It really looks good, it must be kept clean. Gentile handmade】

Handmade in China, imitation of Gentile models:

【Pointed half high heels with cowhide leather shoes. Exposed part of the foot, white gauze socks】

19th century parasols, Gentile goods:

[1 layer of white yarn, 1 layer of white lace, this is the umbrella surface. It looks like a puffy skirt, it is indeed beautiful. The Gentiles invented the lace loom and obtained a patent in 1809]

Large pearl necklace, first-class quality:

[24k gold earrings, golden jade ring, left ring finger. All the precious things were stolen by Lien Translator. Now, the deceased master gave Junxin. When he came here to do business, he would put them on his mother]

Gentile yamen runners on the street, whenever they come to me:

[Etiquette-like support to the eaves of the helmets and greet Aunt Qiao. Recognize it as a local powerful person]

Of course I understand, Yongtingchen muttered in a low voice:

【Popularity, respect everywhere】

The border guard smiles, agrees:

[Go to the side. Two men are very alert, and they keep coming out of the corners of their eyes]

In front of a shop, under the shade of the tree:

[Put a wooden case. The table cover is covered with grey cloth, and you can see it clean. The table is white iron barrel, hat-shaped lid. Rectangular wood shallow bottom box, several glass bottles. Contain honey and homemade syrup]

Several small coarse porcelain bowls with grey cloth cover:

[The tabletop is equipped with square copper hammer, copper chisel, copper chisel, iron hammer, and a white iron long spoon. Make a few rags for grey cloth, and see it clean]

There is a stone sea bowl with a thick texture:

[Put a stump on the ground and set up a stone bowl. A man in his 30s squatted and kept busy. Dingdong and bang, thinking that he was carving stone]

After being caught, there was a wooden barrel over half a meter high:

[Wooden lid. Also a white iron washbasin, soaked in clean water and rag]

Street side by wall:

[Wooden 2-wheel cart, wheelbarrow, shoulder pole, hemp rope, bamboo basket, large bundle of straw rope, reed weaving equipment, and scattered cargo]

Several bamboo chairs and wooden stools, of different sizes:

[Several Chinese men of old and young, sit and rest. Everyone seems to be very helpful, and their faces are relaxed and calm. They also grab a straw hat and fan the cool breeze. The soles of the shoes are shaking and joking, and chatting at home]

Someone was waiting, and the man smiled:

[What are you doing when you say New Year greetings in your mouth? Selling shaved ice]

The shop doors and windows are facing east, and there are 4 elm doors:

[2 wiping the head at a high place, with relief ribbon ring board. Classical figures and landscapes]
