Mr. Bao and his son: Only use Stankang for hair oil

Chapter 4 Clothes and Chameleon
At the cost of showing the novel to the proprietress, Bao Guowei changed into a document bag and packed it up.The proprietress was confused when she saw this. She pointed at "middle-aged Huang Dou and announced it in a nonchalant tone" and "there was a commotion of ridicule in the square where the bean sprouts were surging". She kept laughing and asked Bao Guowei what he was carrying. How on earth did you come up with such a funny scene?

Bao Guowei loved to read Lu Xun's articles, and one article left a deep impression on him, which roughly goes like this:
"Living in Shanghai, it is cheaper to wear fashionable clothes than tacky clothes. If you wear old clothes, the driver of the public tram will not stop according to your instructions, and the park guard will check the entrance ticket very carefully. If you are a big house or a big guest, The doorman of the apartment will not allow you to go through the front door. Therefore, some people would rather live in a small room and feed bed bugs, but a pair of Western-style trousers must be pressed under the pillow every night, making the creases on both sides of the trouser legs angular every day."

If you want to get along well in the Republic of China, the most important thing is to have good clothes and have a pleasant appearance when you are on duty, otherwise you will easily be thrown away.

It's like when Bao Guowei in the movie was stopped when he went to Guo Chun's house.Guo Chun had to say something to get in, which was very frustrating!
If Bao Guowei were to wear a black suit, a white lining and a black tie, comb his hair in a slicked back, put on Stankon, wear a pair of black leather shoes, hold a top hat in his hand and be polite, he would look like a gentleman.If I ask to go in again, how dare the old housekeeper stop me?Afraid of having to nod and bow down, he said, "Please come in, please come in!"

I had great luck today and got a good relationship. Naturally, I didn't need to save too much money. I just spent it. If I didn't have money, I went to visit Chu Ze.

Bao Guowei visited a few more clothing shops in the commercial street, asking questions to understand the prices.Then I walked into a store called "Shu Guosi Store". When I took a look, I saw almost clear suits hanging on them. I could tell at a glance that they were not the kind of shoddy suits made of coarse cloth.

As soon as Bao Guowei entered the door, the boss put down the newspaper and looked at him. He looked up and down at Bao Guowei's somewhat old cotton clothes without saying anything.Bao Guowei didn't care when he was stared at. These clothes had clearly marked prices.

"11 yuan five, eight yuan three, nine yuan, 24 yuan, eh! Palman made in England? Isn't this the UK's Paramount! No wonder it's so expensive."

At this time, suits were not like those of later generations. They were only used by salesmen and were expensive. Even if they were not customized, the cheapest price for a batch-produced finished top was higher than the salary of the old man.

Bao Guowei picked out a black suit that cost [-] yuan, a pure white thin shirt that cost [-] yuan, which could be used as a lining or as a separate piece of clothing, trousers that cost [-] yuan, and a pair of leather shoes that cost [-] yuan.The tie is cheap, half a dollar.The size seems to fit.

"Boss, Gui'an, I want this set, how much does it cost?"

The boss looked at Bao Guowei expressionlessly, not believing that he could afford it, but he still calculated the price patiently.

"The total is, um, sixteen...17 yuan and two cents."

"Stop boss for 16 yuan?"

"Hey! Young Master, I can't negotiate the price. I'm just a storekeeper. If I give you a dime, I'll have to make up for it. Besides, the prices are clearly marked. The woolen material isn't expensive anymore. You We can compare it with other companies, but our price is the most honest, right?”

The old man at the shop had a tough attitude. Judging by his attitude, he wouldn't give up even a penny.

Bao Guowei had already visited several stores and knew that this one was really not expensive, so he accepted the price. When the shopkeeper saw Bao Guowei take out two banknotes, his attitude became much better and he even gave them as gifts. A tote bag for clothes.Bao Guowei also put the document bag containing stationery in it.

Bao Guowei couldn't help but feel a little excited after buying a suit. In today's era, a good suit of clothes is like a luxury car. You have to look at it wherever you go. It can even be said to be a necessary but not sufficient condition for entering the upper class society.

This shabby cotton coat and tattered cloth shoes should have been taken off long ago. They are almost smelly!With a brisk pace, Bao Guowei rushed home and spent eight cents to buy some steamed buns and soy milk on the roadside.By the time I got home, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

When Bao Guowei arrived home, he found that the door was ajar. Lao Bao thought he had gone to work in the Qin Mansion at this time. He left a door for himself and was not afraid of thieves entering the house. There was already a bank at this time, and the money could be deposited in the bank.Moreover, the appearance of Bao Zhai makes the thieves shake their heads after looking at it.

As soon as he opened the inner door, Bao Guowei saw a bowl of rice porridge and a whole plate of sausage and scrambled eggs on the dining table. Lao Bao still cooked for Bao Guowei.I think I drank a bowl of rice porridge and then went to work in the Qin Mansion. I didn't touch the food at all, and I wanted to leave the delicious food to my son.

It's a pity that Bao Guowei has already eaten steamed buns and soy milk. He should eat more after exercising, so as not to lose his conscience and let Bao Bao's work go to waste.

Bao Guowei walked into the back room, put the bag in his hand on the desk, then walked home and started doing anaerobic exercise to exercise. This is what he must do every day in the future. He must practice in the morning and evening.

The sun had come out early, and the temperature was a bit high. After exercising, Bao Guowei was sweating a lot, and his cotton clothes were soaked.After returning home, he took a few bites of food, took out a pair of clean, sun-baked black socks and put them into the bag containing his suit, and then went out again.

Target large bathhouse!Bao Guowei couldn't wait to take a hot bath, get rid of his rough cotton clothes, put on a suit that still smelled of dyed ink, and then walked on the street. When the wind blew, his hair fluttered in the wind, and people on the street looked at him. My heroic figure in a beautiful suit...

Bao Guowei couldn't help but feel a little happy.Gusu City was a treaty port, and foreigners invested in the construction of many bathhouses. They were everywhere in the city. Most of them were equipped with shower heads for hot water showers, and they also sold some saponin bath towels and the like.

I spent [-] cents on a ticket and a piece of soap locust in the lobby, rented a bath cloth, and got a small key.

He went in and found an empty locked cabinet on the wardrobe. He took off his suit and his clothes and put them in. After making sure they were locked, he entered the men's bathroom.

There were not many people in the bathhouse early in the morning. There were two working back rub masters sitting there, and a few guests, all floating in the hot water pool. There seemed to be some cotton-like dust floating on the water... …

Bathhouses are often crowded with people only at night, and you even have to queue up to take a bath.

Bao Guowei walked directly to a showerhead, turned the switch, and water gushed down from the top.I tested the water temperature and found it was quite hot. After I splashed it on my body to get used to it, I stood under the shower head and started washing myself.

When I looked down, I saw that it was so cute even though it was small!
There are no easy-to-use shampoos and shower gels in this era. You can only apply a piece of soap locust everywhere, especially your hair. You have to apply it very carefully to remove oil and dirt. Otherwise, you will not be able to wash off the oil and your hair will be sticky. They don't look good together.

After washing for an hour, Bao Guowei came out of the bathroom. His skin was almost bald and his hair could make the sound of cleaning glass when he stroked it.

After wiping his body clean, he opened the wardrobe lock with a pious mood. Bao Guowei rubbed his hands, took out the suit, and carefully put it on starting from the lining.

The suit feels a little too big, but it fits me well, and my body will grow longer in the future.After putting it on, you can still see obvious creases on the clothes, showing that they are new clothes.

Bao Guowei looked in the mirror.

She has a fair face and a good nose, and her semi-moist hair is a little fluffy, as if she had been smeared with Stankol.Even the bridge of the nose is not flat, and although the lower lip is a bit big, it is still red. When you raise the corners of your mouth and smile, you can't see anything wrong with it.

What's wrong with the whole face?Especially against the backdrop of this black and white outfit, how high is the aesthetic value of a black suit, black tie and white lining?Insurance Brother authoritatively certifies that it will not be outdated until the 21st century.

He can be called a gentle and gentle young master. What kind of young master from a wealthy family? (picture)

Look at the pair of black leather shoes under your feet. The hard soles make a clicking sound when you lift your feet and put them down.

If Bao Guowei could only score six points before, he can now at least score eight points!

Putting on his leather shoes, Bao Guowei picked up his clothes bag and walked out with dignity.At the corner, I happened to meet a short old man wearing a patched old cotton coat, with his head lowered and his back stooped. He was a bit short, maybe only 1.6 meters or so.With his ricked back, he looks only 1.4 meters tall.Bao Guowei's left hand accidentally hit the bridge of his nose.

The old man was hit on the bridge of his nose. He was a little annoyed at first, but when he raised his head and saw Bao Guowei's appearance, he immediately stopped complaining at all and hurriedly stepped aside to let Bao Guowei pass first.His already stooped back was bent almost to ninety degrees. He lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. It was obvious that someone had hit him on his neck, but it looked like he had hit someone else.

Bao Guowei just said "hmm" and walked away. But this sound made the old man tremble, for fear that people would say that his clothes were stained and he would have to pay compensation.

After a few steps, he came to the hall and handed the wardrobe key to the receptionist. The waiter put it away with a flattering smile, and did not forget to say:
"Master, please go away. Welcome to visit the store next time."

Bao Guowei clearly remembered that when he spent money on tickets and saponins, the waiter was listless. He threw the tickets and sapodillas on the table for Bao Guowei to take, but he didn't even look at him. At one glance, he didn't even bother to give an expression.

Arrogant at the front and respectful at the back, they are just wearing clothes.
