In addition to hotels, the most common ones are ready-to-wear stores. This kind of store only sells ready-to-wear or processing materials, not cloth and satin. If you want to buy fabrics, you can go to a special satin shop. Originally, Hong Tao thought that in ancient times, people were self-sufficient, and clothes were generally processed and sewn by themselves, until the end of the Qing Dynasty. But it was not the case in the Song Dynasty. Even in the small port city in the remote area of ​​Zhenzhou City, there were several ready-to-wear stores.

Hong Tao originally wanted to buy a serious Song Dynasty dress. He had asked Luo Youde. Generally, in the Song Dynasty, those who dressed in short clothes were coolies and yamen runners. Anyone who had read books and recognized characters could wear scholars' clothes regardless of whether they had fame or not. There was no need to do anything like the Tang Dynasty. What officials wear, what scholars wear, what merchants wear, what farmers wear, what farmers wear, what farmers wear, what they wear. It is illegal to wear randomly, and if they are whipped, they would go to prison. In the Song Dynasty, except for formal official clothes, they were not allowed to wear randomly, and the bright yellow cloth that represents the royal family should not wear randomly, they would wear whatever you like, not only the color is not limited, but also the material is not limited. As long as you are not afraid of others' jokes, even if you are a fisherman, you can buy a silk long gown for scholars.

But when he asked how much the clothes in this garment store cost, he gave up the idea of ​​wearing scholarly clothes and the price was a bit expensive! A slanted fabric skirt costs 370 cents. The problem is that this skirt cannot be worn alone, and there is a double-breasted blouse without buttons outside. This blouse is the most expensive, and it costs more than 600 cents. If you wear a breasted skirt and blouse, you can't just spread your hair. You have to use a piece of cloth called slut on your head to wrap your hair into a big bump as big as a fist. This thing actually costs 300 cents!

It’s not enough to have a coat alone. You can’t go out with two big robes with your butt naked, so you have to get a pair of pants. The cheap ones cost 500 yuan, plus a belt 200 yuan, and a pair of linen shoes about 30 yuan. If you want to go far, you have to buy a Song Dynasty backpack called a mattress, which is more than 300 yuan. It costs at least 3 guan less to buy a mid-to-low-grade literati outfit. No wonder children from poor families can’t afford to study. If you buy two sets of student outfits, you have to support two stones of rice, which is enough for the whole family to eat for several months.

Hong Tao just wanted to show off and he didn't like this kind of robe, it was too cumbersome. If it was cheap, he would buy two outfits and wear them with Carl. It would be fine if it was so expensive. It doesn't matter if there was no suitable ready-made clothes. You can buy materials here to customize them. The cost of the materials is one-third of the handmade fee, which is very fair! So Hong Tao bought himself and Carl two soft linen cloths made of cotton and linen textiles for himself and Carl, one ivory and one black, and asked the tailor in the store to make two sets of them and Carl each according to the summer casual wear he wore in later generations. It doesn't matter if there were no buttons. Hong Tao only asked the store's locking holes as it was, and he would send the buttons himself. There were thick shells in the sea. I went back to grind a few, and drilled two small holes to button them. The remaining fabric was made by one person, just right!

However, the clothes can't be taken out today, and it will take at least two days. Hong Tao was not in a hurry. He simply asked the garment store to prepare the clothes and send them to the shopkeeper of Zhenhailou. He gave them all the money first. Once the clothes are available, it's time to take shoes. To be honest, Hong Tao is really not used to walking barefoot all day long. There is nothing he can do at sea, but when it comes to land, it's still necessary to have a pair of shoes on his feet.

Hong Tao will definitely not buy the cheaper hemp shoes again. It is cheaper and I can't help but wear them. It's better to spend 30 cents to buy straw shoes for 10 cents, which is cheaper and more affordable. In fact, the waiter in the shoe and hat shop means this, and he just doesn't have the nerve to say it.

"Is this pig skin or cowhide?" Who is Hong Tao? He could see the expression on the waiter's face clearly with the corners of his eyes. It was said that pretending to be slapping in the face was particularly satisfying. This time, Hong Tao planned to try it himself to see if he felt comfortable.

"If you come back, it's cowhide..." The waiter's quality is pretty good. Hong Tao and Carl are dressed in coolie dresses in shorts, and are barefoot. It's already very kind to have questions and answers.

"Can you customize shoes here? Come on, come and bring paper and pen. I'll draw a pattern, and I'll customize them according to the pattern... ten pairs!" Hong Tao picked up a pair of cowhide shoes and looked at it. He was not satisfied. The sole was too thin, but soft and soft, which was not suitable for long roads. Moreover, in Hainan Island, wearing leather shoes seemed to be a bit covered.

Hong Tao couldn't stand the straw sandals, and his toes would soon be worn out. If they get inflamed, there would be no antibiotics in this era because a pair of shoes lost their lives. He couldn't afford to wear them. The thing was too unsolid and was only suitable for urban residents who didn't work much. Once they were touched by sea water, they would dry them and they would be broken twice. It was a bit hot to wear leather shoes. At this time, the leather shoes were not low-top, the middle-top, a bit like short boots, which were over 20 degrees a year and were still wet. Wearing a pair of short boots? This is too good to wear.

Therefore, Hong Tao had to make shoes by himself and make leather sandals from later generations. They were both comfortable and sturdy than straw shoes, and cooler than leather boots. The price was high and it didn't matter if Hong Tao could afford it. However, in terms of the choice of leather soles and uppers, Hong Tao had been talking to the shoemaker in this store for a long time, and finally convinced him to make shoes for himself. These Song people were too real. People who made them unsolid and did not make them because they were afraid that they would smash the brand. Even if the customers were happy, they would not be happy.

Three layers of thick cowhide are sewn together as the sole of the shoe. The top soft cowhide is cut into thin strips, and then hand-woven to make a narrow belt width and form a fork on the upper. This is the upper. There is a piece of it extending from the back of the upper, just to the place where the ankle is, it is a leather case. It is tied with a leather rope. The shoes are fixed to the feet, and they are all the same as the feet when walking and running, but they look a bit strange.

Not to mention that the people of the Song Dynasty said it was strange, Hong Tao looked strange himself. This is the kind of sandals worn by girls in later generations, and it was nothing more than heels. However, due to the limitations of materials and craftsmanship, Hong Tao could not think of a better way to make shoes. Girls should wear only girls. Men in the Song Dynasty also wore dresses, which was considered as a local custom. Speaking of this issue, Hong Tao was very dissatisfied. He felt that other places in the Song Dynasty were good, but the men in the Song Dynasty were a bit sissy. Not to mention wearing dresses, they liked to put on flowers and make-up. The clothes on their bodies had to be smoked with spices, and hung a sachet, which made them more fragrant than women.

Hong Tao had already made up his mind to not only save the Song Dynasty, but also to correct the bad habits of the men of the Song Dynasty and the sissy. Otherwise, if the Song Dynasty continues to develop like this, the national flag can be changed to the six-color flag in the future.
