029 People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles

Mike, who received the gift, looked surprised. Mike himself was reluctant to buy such expensive items.

Seeing that Li Mu bought it for five yuan, Mike was shocked and also had a higher understanding of Li Mu.

Mike has seen many people who can make money than Mike, but not many people who can spend money as much as Li Mu, and it is even rarer to those who are so generous to the servants around him.

For Mike, Li Mu's behavior only surprised him, but for the old Yantou family, this is not something that can be described as grateful.

While on the boat, Li Mu had already described his plan to Lao Yan's family, but that was just a statement. Even if Li Mu did not fulfill his promise, Lao Yan's family would not have a position to accuse Li Mu.

Deep down, Lao Yantou's family must have fantasized about the bright future after Li Mu fulfilled his promise, but that was all in the future. No matter what, Lao Yantou's family would never have imagined that Li Mu's fulfillment would come so quickly.

The clothes Li Mu selected for Lao Yan and the other three for three were three dollars each, two sets each, plus a pocket watch, and the total price was $114. If the fare from the dock to the Jinzhou Hotel and the cost of opening a room, the USD Li Mu spent on Yan's family has exceeded $130. If it is exchanged for silver, it has exceeded one hundred taels.

When the Yan family figured out how much money Li Mu had spent, the Yan family felt uneasy again. Although as an employer, Li Mu was responsible for the Yan family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, Li Mu has done far more than an employer should do, which is indeed too unusual.

However, this was not enough. After finding suitable clothes for the men, Li Mu took the Yan family to a women's clothing store and continued to buy clothes for the two women's women and the mother and daughter for $10,000.

Compared with men's clothing, women's clothing is much more troublesome. The key is not the style of the clothes, but the attitude of the lady and the mother of the 10,000 dollar.

At this time, women's clothing had blocked the exaggerated and complicated Rococo style, and began to focus on simplicity and grace. Specifically, the exaggerated buttock pads and complex floral decorations at the back of the skirt were removed, and only the enlarged sleeves were retained to set off the slender waist and smooth curves. The overall effect was straight, dignified, flowing and delicate.

Li Mu felt that it was pretty good, but when the mother and daughter of Xue first saw these long skirts made of silk, Chu Xue almost refused at the same time. The reason was very simple. If you wear this kind of clothes, you basically couldn't work.

This is true. Although the trousers and shirts that Li Mu chose for the Yan family and his son were very different from their previous robes and jackets, they were more convenient to move and more energetic after wearing them. Therefore, the Yan family and his son did not have much resistance. Yan Hu and Yan Shun even accepted Li Mu's arrangement happily.

The long skirts of Chuxue and her daughter are different. Although the popular long skirts are quite simple compared to Rococo style long skirts, they still have to reach the ankle length, which is really inconvenient.

What's more, there are still several days to do in the train, and taking the train with such a long skirt is simply a pain.

Fortunately, there are also maid outfits in the garment store, so Li Mu had to choose two maid outfits for Chuxue and his daughter.

Well, don't think so. It's not the short and exaggerated maid outfits in Japanese comics. Although the length does not reach the ankle, it also reaches the calf.

After choosing the clothes, paired them with leather shoes and stockings, Li Mu was finally satisfied.

No, before he was satisfied, Li Mu found another gun shop and bought four pistols in one go, then returned to Kingsoft Hotel.

The United States is not very safe these days. It is nearly 4,000 kilometers from San Francisco to Springfield. There are basically wilderness ridges along the way. You often have to pass through large areas of no-man's land. There may be accidents, so it's better to be careful.

When he returned to the Jinshan Hotel and passed the lobby, Old Man Chen was still talking about his "Heaven, Earth, Lord, relative, and teacher". When he saw Li Mu and others walking through the lobby in a dignified manner, Old Man Chen seemed to have not seen him and ignored him at all.

Li Mu still needs to rely on Old Man Chen to help him, so he can't go too far, so Li Mu asked Yan Shun to take over Li Mu to listen to the "sage of the saint".

This is not because Li Mu intends to neglect. After all, the little fat man is not there. It is already very good that Li Mu can send someone to replace him.

It seems that the young children went abroad to study and study in the foreign country and gave Li Mu a gift. For a whole night, except for Mike who came to Li Mu to send a ticket, no one came to Li Mu again, as if there was no such person as Li Mu among the international students.

Li Mu did not feel that he was neglected. It would be better if he did not interfere with each other and would fulfill his destiny. Li Mu planned to let Yan Shun go to class on his behalf in the future. Anyway, for Old Man Chen, it would be the same whether Li Mu came or not, as long as there was no trouble.

There was nothing to say all night. After breakfast the next morning, more than a dozen carriages headed straight to the train station. After a chaotic war, Li Mu and his party finally got on the train and embarked on the journey to Springfield.

Nowadays, the trains are still steam locomotives, and the horsepower of the locomotive is not enough, so there are only five cars hanging on a train, one of which is filled with coal and water, and the rest of the cars are all filled with people. The style of the car is similar to the green-skinned car that Li Mu had seen in his previous life. Of course, the details are still different. For example, the seats in the car are covered with cowhide, and they are all genuine leather. From this point of view, $28 per person is still worth the money.

Each carriage can accommodate about 100 passengers. Fortunately, Americans do not sell station tickets now, so the carriage is not crowded. Although there are no equipment such as air conditioning and fans, because the windows can be opened, the ventilation effect is still very good, and there is no odor.

The number of officials of the Young Children's Outings Bureau has now increased to nearly forty, plus thirty international students, nearly forty servants of the Fatty Little Man, Li Mu and his group sat in a whole half of the carriages. After the train started, they suddenly exclaimed. Not only were these children interested in the new thing of the train, but even the officials of the Young Children's Outings Bureau have endless dioramas to see.

After getting in the car, Li Mu had no chance to enjoy the natural scenery of the 19th century outside the window, because Mike pestered Li Mu and asked Li Mu to give Mike some advice on his business plan.

After purchasing Li Mu's drawings, Mike did not intend to resell them, but planned to open a factory by himself. After arriving in Springfield, Mike would apply for a patent first, and then prepare an arsenal to produce such double-action pistols designed by Li Mu.
