Lu Zhiyu's first impression of Finnlit was that there were workshops everywhere, including military workshops, steelmaking workshops, metallurgical workshops and a large number of handicraft workshops. Among these workshops, workers had become the most important and the largest class in Finnlit.
"The best cotton garments, whether they are coats, hats, or women's long dresses and underwear... Our shop has it all!" an apprentice shouted at the door of a garment store.
"Look at this hat. It's so beautiful!" Several black-haired Tuten girls with thin noses and big eyes were gathered at the display window of the garment store, chattering and laughing.
"Do you want a new type of steam lamp? We also have various handcrafts and artistic ornaments, as well as vases and music boxes from the West!" another peddler proclaimed.
"The clocks of Hood's Watch Workshop are the most famous in Finnlit!" a watch workshop staffer called out.
