Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 54
The next day.

After Xu Deyong woke up, he looked at the quilt in a daze. He didn't overturn his car in the gutter, but fell on the quilt first!
Well, the quilt is not damaged, turn it over at night and continue covering it!

He got dressed and after doing a hundred push-ups and a hundred sit-ups, he was full of energy again.

Looking at the scenery of Shanghai outside the window, Xu Deyong opened today's blind box.

"Snapped."

A set of bamboo fishing rods including fishing lines appear in the blind box space.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but grin, what does this mean?
Let yourself go to the Huangpu River to feed the fish... bah, fishing?
Yes, the fishing rod is not bad. Later, I can learn from the third uncle's fishing to supplement the family income.

There is breakfast in the guest house, and you can eat it for free with a certificate issued by Elena.

At this time, flatbread, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and rice are known as the "Four King Kongs" that are the most distinctive breakfast items in Shanghai.

Since it's free, Xu Deyong naturally won't be polite and eats it all.

The taste...the feeling is almost the same.

The two ladies slept until after eight o'clock, freshened up and went to eat again, half noon passed!
Chen Xueru was resurrected with full blood, her face full of collagen was full of energy, and she waved her white and tender hands: "Let's go!"

Elena carried a camera on her back and held hands with Chen Xueru with a smile on her face.

Xu Deyong put his hands in his pockets and didn't know... Bah, he followed them step by step and merged into the once largest city in the Far East.

He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, his short short hair and handsome appearance attracted the attention of some girls on the street.

The bold ones even pointed quietly, pushing each other and letting out low laughs.

Compared with the upright and conservative city of Sijiu City, here it is more open and lively. You can occasionally see men and women wearing suits and cheongsams, which is basically not seen in Sijiu City.

That is to say, this year and next year we have to keep the bottom of the box!

Xu Deyong observed as he walked, while still feeling a little vigilant in his heart.

At this time, in addition to the Su people, there were still some other foreigners living in Shanghai.

At the beginning of liberation, there were more than 5.5 foreigners living in Shanghai. Under the policy of "cleaning the house before treating guests", by the end of the 70s, there were only about 710 foreigners living in Shanghai. It was not until the reform and opening up that there was a recovery.

The three of them came to the ZS Friendship Building, which was just completed in March last year.

The entire building consists of five parts, namely: the central hall, the industrial hall, the cultural hall on the east and west wings, the agricultural hall and the cinema.

During the construction process, a large number of E-style decorative components and gold and other precious materials were used. The overall E-style classical architectural style was chosen, and Baroque art was used in some parts.

The original site here used to be the garden built by Hartung, the richest man in Shanghai, at the suggestion of his wife Luo Jialing in the early [-]th century. However, it later fell into ruins after the war.

From this year onwards, many conferences and exhibitions will be held here.

It was extremely lively, with well-dressed people coming and going.

"Xu, let me take a photo for you to witness our friendship in front of this ZS Friendship Building." Elena suggested with a smile.

Xu Deyong said: "This is my honor."

So, Xu Deyong stood next to the building and left the first black and white photo of his "life".

"Crack!"

The scene freezes, Xu Deyong smiles brightly, and history freezes for a brief moment at this moment.

Next, Chen Xueru and Irina also took a photo alone.

Finally, under Elena's strong suggestion, the three of them let others take a photo together.

Xu Deyong stood in the middle behind the two women, with some distance between the three of them. When taking the photo, Irina tilted her head "naughtyly" at the end, seeming to alienate Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru just rolled her eyes with disdain.

After taking photos, the three of them entered the cultural center after inspection.

An exhibition of floral fabrics, silks, brocades and other patterns is being held inside. There are many bright, rich, healthy and vital floral fabric patterns that are loved by people, such as red maples, chrysanthemums, small roses, etc.

A few days later, the Shanghai Youth Daily reported on the exhibition and put it bluntly: Girls, don’t always dress in a shabby way, dress more beautifully and dress yourself up like flowers.

This begins a year of colorful clothing in cities across the country!
Chen Xueru and Elena admired the various patterns together, stopping to communicate from time to time. Elena would also take photos of the patterns she liked.Xu Deyong followed the two of them, looking around boredly. Sometimes the two women would ask him, and he would chime in with a few words to suit the situation.

At present, the two ladies have no other use for them except carrying bags, eating and playing with them!

But hey, it feels pretty good to eat, drink and fish at "public expense", no wonder...

He quickly adjusted his attitude and fulfilled his duties.

What, lick the dog?

Hetui, I spent money.

He is a principled person and will not allow others to spend money and be scolded as a licker!
Time passed by quietly, just like the novel I was reading came to an end in the blink of an eye.

Two hours for the writer, 1 minute for reading!

……

The exhibition lasts for three days. The first day is the pattern exhibition, the second day is the finished product exhibition, and the third day is the exchange meeting.

For two days in a row, Xu Deyong's main thing was to accompany him.

In the afternoon of the next day, the three of them came out of the building and walked and chatted.

Elena said: "We have seen almost everything. Let's go shopping elsewhere in the afternoon."

Chen Xueru smiled and said: "Of course, I have made an appointment with several suppliers in Gusu to have dinner together after the exchange meeting tomorrow. We will go back the day after tomorrow, so let's have some fun this afternoon."

Elena shrugged and said, "I won't attend your dinner party tomorrow. I can ask Xu to accompany me around Shanghai."

Chen Xueru smiled and shook her head: "That won't work. Xu Deyong will accompany me to the dinner party tomorrow."

"Oh!" Elena said exaggeratedly and helplessly: "Xueru, you are too cruel, can you bear to leave me alone?"

Chen Xueru said: "How come? You can ask the guest house to introduce two reliable people to accompany you."

Elena curled her lips and said, "That's not interesting. The person you introduced is definitely not as comfortable and interesting to get along with as Xu, and he might as well be alone."

Chen Xueru said: "No, although the domestic environment has been much better, it is inevitable that we will encounter some other accidents. I don't trust you alone."

……

The three of them said as they turned into a small street nearby. This was a shortcut back to the guest house. There were old-style alleys on both sides.

A fashionably dressed woman came forward, wearing a long purple velvet turtleneck coat. As she walked, her long shawl hair swayed in the wind, making her look graceful.

The woman lowered her head slightly, her round face was white and rosy, and her eyebrows were slightly raised. She was obviously carefully groomed, and her mouth was also painted with lipstick, which looked very beautiful.

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have seen this woman once yesterday!
Elena and Chen Xueru are still struggling with the previous issues.

The two sides gradually got closer, and the woman opposite had no intention of moving away.

Xu Deyong felt a sense of palpitations in his heart for no reason.

The next moment, he suddenly stretched out his hands to grab the clothes of the two women in front of him and pulled them back.

"Oh ah……."

The two women were talking, but they never expected that this would happen. They screamed and their whole bodies were instantly pulled off the ground.

Almost at the same time, a cold light flashed in the hands of the woman opposite, and she rushed towards Elena.

Between the lightning and flint, there was no room for Xu Deyong to think too much.

Let go and let the two women fall to the ground in the "Flat Sand Falling Goose Style".

Shake hands and a hunting knife with a blood groove appears in the hand.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent loses his target, he bullies him and stabs him in the chest.

This is not the time to pity the beauty, no matter how beautiful she is, she still wants to be smashed!
