Chapter 2426 Sonia ([-])
Sonia started packing her bag for going out.

This is a lady's satchel made of deerskin. It is large enough to hold many 16-carat books and albums. Its style is imitated by a luxury brand in the old time and space. The buckle of the satchel is made of copper. , embellished with two curlicue letters: LU.

In the lower left corner of the bag, a donkey head and 82 coat of arms are sewn.It shows the noble origin of this bag.

In Lingao and other places where naturalized people gather, both men and women are used to carrying backpacks.This kind of bag was originally a military satchel with a canvas iron buckle used by the Fubo Army. Later, some of it was distributed to naturalized cadres and students in Fangcaodi.Because it is easy to carry, this kind of canvas satchel gradually became popular. It is not only widely used by naturalized people, but also many aborigines feel that this kind of bag is easy to use and carry when they go out, so they buy it one after another.Garment factories produced and supplied them in large quantities, and later launched backpacks in succession, including various styles and textures.

This popularity is not limited to the various areas under the rule of the Senate, and it is also used by many indigenous people in areas where there is more contact with the merchants of the Senate.

Hong Yuanlao's No. 82 naturally and keenly captured this popular trend.After all, in terms of luxury goods, bags are always one of the biggest categories.However, the spending power shown by the maids of the elders did not allow him to let go of this business opportunity, so he soon joined forces with the clothing factory, expanded the original leather goods workshop into a bag factory, and began to produce several kinds of bag products.Divided into different brands and product lines according to customer groups.In addition to targeting naturalized people, there are also product lines dedicated to export, some for the Ming country, some for the European market, and some for Southeast Asia, Japan and other markets.They vary in design and material selection.They all achieved good results.

The bag Sonia used was a gift from Lin Hanlong when she took office at the Natural History Museum not long ago. In terms of price alone, it is a top-notch product in Hong Huangnan's No. 82 product line.Calculated based on the average salary of ordinary naturalized people, it has reached the level of the Arabian Nights.It is also a hot topic when the maids get together in No. 43.But Sonia didn't feel anything about it: since the senators are the dignitaries of the country, what is there to discuss with their families and mistresses with the best things?

In order to take care of Lin Guanyu's emotions, Lin Hanlong also gave her a LU bag at the same time. This bag is larger in size, easy to carry, and made of durable and waterproof calfskin. Maids usually bring it when they go shopping it.

Sonia packs two large towels in her bag - one of her favorite Aussie products; a pair of moccasins, exercise clothes, a change of clothes...these are all she needs when she goes to gym class piecemeal.She also packed two high-grade calfskin notebooks sold at No. 43 and a Golden Dragon I fountain pen.

She's wearing a plain coat instead of her signature maid outfit.Sonia was very disgusted with this "servant livery" and tried not to wear it as long as she could.

After tidying up, Sonia took care of the nanny, kissed her sleeping daughter, and walked out of Lin Hanlong's house.

Near noon, the dormitory area was very quiet. Most of the maids had gone home to work, and most of the elders had gone out.This made her breathe a sigh of relief—even though she had been here for several years, and her curiosity about the European maid had faded, every time she walked out of the dormitory area, she still attracted everyone's attention.

She registered her departure at the service desk and ordered another rickshaw.As a life secretary, she cannot use a carriage. In fact, the elders are not happy to use a carriage, and they often use rickshaws for short trips.Therefore, the general office has set up a special convoy in the dormitory area, equipped with several horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws waiting for use at any time

As soon as Sonia got on the rickshaw, she asked the driver to open the awning and lower the curtains.

The rickshaw quickly left the dormitory area, walked along the avenue, and soon arrived at the gymnasium by the Wenlan River.Because of her special status, the coachman pulled her into an inconspicuous special door.

As soon as she got off the car, the service staff from the office came to pick her up.The gymnasium in the Wenlanhe Gymnasium is actually only open to veterans and life secretaries.For most naturalized people and aborigines, they can't afford to consume precious calories, nor can they supplement the large amount of protein needed for fitness.

The supervisor of the gymnasium is Chen Sigen. As the only fitness trainer and nutrition expert among the elders, it is naturally duty-bound to provide fitness services for the elders and their families.

As the living welfare of the Senate, the gymnasium set up the policy of "adapting measures to local conditions" at the beginning of its opening.Chen Sigen thinks that it is inappropriate to copy the old time and space.After all, both protein and fat are rare in this time and space.That is, there is no ability to add too much, and there is no need for excessive reduction.Therefore, there is no need to promote strength sports such as "fat reduction and muscle gain" in the old time and space, and they are only aimed at a small number of groups with special needs-such as soldiers.Ordinary elders and their family members mainly need to stretch their muscles and bones and exercise their posture.Therefore, in addition to strength fitness, other items such as bodybuilding, yoga, and aerobics have been added, as well as traditional aerobics such as the traditional Wu Qin Xi and Ten Sain Brocade.

Once the gym was opened, it was widely welcomed by the elders.Although most of the elders are not very interested in their own fitness, they are very active in sending their maids to exercise.

Lin Hanlong was no exception, so as soon as Sonia arrived at Lin's house, she was required to attend fitness classes.Although she is a beauty, her body has not been trained, and her body shape cannot be said to be very fit.

Sonia hated this kind of training very much at first, but she still obeyed out of concerns about her own status.Gradually, she fell in love with fitness: after the workout, her body became lighter and more flexible than before, she was more energetic, and her strength increased a lot.As for the master's praise that her body is more fit than before, she personally has no experience, but feels that her body has more muscles.

There are very few people in the gym at the moment, and most of the maids who come to the gym don't come until the afternoon. As for the elders, they basically have to wait until the evening.

The training program offered here is not bad even by 21st century standards.In terms of equipment, the machinery factory copied and restored various fitness equipment as much as possible according to the drawings. Although the appearance is a bit rough, the basic functions are not lacking at all.Changing rooms, shower rooms, sauna rooms, massage rooms and other supporting facilities are all available.The only downside is that there is no dedicated swimming pool.

"Sonia!" A female coach greeted her, "Is it still the same today?"

"Yes, same old."

"Are you still in a hurry to urinate?"

"No more," Sonia said. "Exercise is useful."

"Let's do another stage of posture training to consolidate it." The female coach said, "Go warm up first."

The fitness coaches here are all personally trained by Chen Sigen and others, and their professionalism is no worse than their counterparts in the old time and space.In addition to serving the elders and their family members, these male and female coaches also provide relevant fitness and sports services for the students, soldiers and factory workers in Fangcaodi—currently mainly teaching various aerobics.

Sonia is a regular here and doesn't need coaching.He went to the locker room to change into loose gym clothes.Her daily fitness routine begins with a cardio-respiratory warm-up.Since there is no treadmill here, it is generally warmed up by jumping rope at a slow speed for 5 minutes.

After warming up, it's time to move on to strength training.Generally, maids do not do strength training, but Sonia does some appropriately. After all, she has to go out frequently for inspections and needs plenty of physical strength.So she is one of the rare maids who perseveres in strength training.For this reason, Lin Hanlong's family consumes a lot more fish than other elders' families.

After half an hour of strength training, she took a break and started aerobics again.It takes about an hour and a half for such a complete process, and then she has to go to the massage room, where the trainer gives her a full body massage to relax her muscles, and finally, she goes to the bathroom to take a comfortable hot bath.

"Although it is not in the harem of the Sultan, it seems to be almost the same." Sonia immersed her washed body in the steaming hot and fragrant cypress bath, enjoying the comfort of the hot water added with essential oils to soothe her sore body Sometimes there is such a feeling vaguely.Suddenly there was a little sadness in her heart.The Australians spare no expense to provide themselves with all kinds of enjoyment, which is nothing more than admiration for her body.I left my family, gave up my marriage, returned to Lisbon from Brazil, and joined the guild to go sailing and adventurous with great anticipation... These seem to have happened a long, long time ago.The "Lisbon woman naturalist" of the past no longer exists.

Sonia was a little sad.To be honest, she is not dissatisfied with her current life.After all, the master loves her very much. Needless to say, all kinds of enjoyments in life are given to her, not to mention that she cannot enjoy them in her original family, even in the aristocratic families of England or Portugal.And when she came to Lingao and met Australians, she opened the door to a palace of knowledge that made her shudder.The knowledge in this palace is as deep as the sea.There are many things that countless sages and modern philosophers want to break their heads and have no answers, but there are answers here.No mystery, even openly taught.

Where does their knowledge come from?Why did they come here?The longer Sonia lived among Australians, the stronger her doubts and fears became.However, when she was swimming in the ocean of Australian knowledge, she had a vague feeling that "it is a lucky thing to be sold here as a slave".Of course, she would never allow such thoughts to come out.
