Chapter Twenty-Six: The Life of a Little Man


Although Yun Qin's ordinary standard black patent leather armor is a normal consumable item in the border army, even the most ordinary border army will probably be issued two to three sets of black patent leather armor a year, but the large amount does not mean that the manufacturing process is not complicated, and it does not mean that it is cheap and the defense is poor.

Most of the cowhides used to make standard black patent leather armor come from Linchuan black cattle and Beilong green cattle, the cowhides of these two kinds of cattle are naturally extremely thick, especially the Beilong green cattle have always had ten cattle in Beilong, grinding an old saying that a knife is broken.

The leather used in Damang leather armor is first smoked, and the leather made is hard, but it is correspondingly brittle and thin, and it will increase the difficulty of the subsequent process, and the time taken to make leather armor is longer than that of Yun Qin.

The leather of Yunqin leather armor is first washed with cold spring water, then steamed with medicinal materials, and cut by hot processing, and then all the subsequent work is completed within seven days, because after more than seven days, the leather armor will reach a very hard state after drying, and then it is difficult to handle.

The cut offcuts are used to boil the glue, mixed with some sap to make lacquer, to stick to the leather armor and to coat the outer part of the leather armor, after which it goes through a series of surface treatments.

Under the tedious and elegant process, even in the harsh environment of the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, Yun Qin's black leather armor would not rot and deform even if it was often soaked in sewage for several months.

A woman dressed in plain cloth and wearing a leather apron with a pair of scissors in her hand was cutting in an open space outside a cooking workshop, facing a pile of thick leather in front of her.

This woman has a little green mark in the corner of her left eye, and her facial features are very ordinary, not good-looking, about twenty years old, with thick hands and feet, just an ordinary employee in this tannery.

The leather that had just been steamed out was still very hot, making all her surroundings steaming, and this heat was mixed with medicinal liquid, still very smelly, and after being smoked by such heat for a long time, whether it was the skin of her hands or the skin on her face, it looked a little rough, completely without the luster of an ordinary girl, and even some reddish puffiness, as if a layer of skin was floating on it.

The smell on her body was by no means good, and it was impossible to get rid of it unless it was washed with good soap ointment for a few days.

A short-haired young man wearing a worker's official uniform was not far from the young female worker to inspect some of the cut leather, and after carefully inspecting the nearly 200 pieces of leather loaded into the car, the short-haired young man nodded to the ordinary female worker with praise and approval in the steaming hot air package.

The female worker bit her lip a little shyly, and thanked the short-haired young man silently with her eyes.

"You're Tang Ke," in the hot mist of white sè, a calm, but inexplicably incongruous voice seemed to be in harmony with this orderly workshop.

The short-haired young man with a somewhat natural figure is none other than Tang Ke.

His heart chuckled, and he looked at the place where the voice came from, and he saw that on the edge of the steaming white sè heat, the figure of a tall and handsome young official full of pride slowly appeared.

Tang Ke didn't know this handsome young official who was incompatible with this workshop, but the moment he saw the other party's luxurious official uniform and purple rhinoceros horn wearing, his face changed slightly, and he bowed down: "See Master Di." ” "You know me."

Di Choufei smiled slightly, looked at the Qingluan student who was humble in front of him, and then looked at the ordinary female worker who didn't know what was going on, lowered her head and did things, and looked cramped: "This female worker is called Hong Xiunu" The woman's hand trembled slightly, and the extremely sharp scissors almost cut a bloody cut in her knuckle.

Tang Ke's face, which was lowered, became more and more ugly, and he said in a difficult respectful voice: "Exactly." ” "I also apprenticed in the engineering department a few years ago, so I know a little bit about the armor workshop."

Di Choufei looked at the obedient Tang Ke and smiled slightly, "Generally, the armor-making workshop rarely uses female workers, and the strength of the female workers is always weaker, unless the female workers are particularly good in some aspects, since this Hong embroidery girl is arranged here by you, is it because some aspects are particularly sè, is it because the cut is particularly fast, or is it particularly accurate, and the finished products cut out in one day are even more than the average male worker?"

Tang Ke's heart chuckled again, his face became more ugly, but he bowed lower, appearing more obedient and humble: "Master Di, it's not because Hong Xiunu's two brothers died on the front line, and her mother is seriously ill."

Di Choufei frowned slightly, and interrupted Tang Ke's words: "The two brothers died in battle, the military department should have issued a pension."

Tang Ke humbly explained: "Her mother's illness is relatively serious, and the previous pension has been used up, so she is arranged to work here to make ends meet. ” "It's just because of sympathy" Di Choufei smiled and looked at Tang Ke: "It's not because of personal feelings" The scissors in the woman's hand stopped.

She began to feel scared, and her eyes began to blur.

She is just a child of an ordinary poor family, she has never studied, she is not a smart person, and she does not know Di Choufei's identity at this time, but she can at least see that Di Choufei is a very big official, and she can also see that Di Choufei is deliberately in Zhao Tangke's trouble.

Tang Ke's voice trembled slightly: "Master Di, the workshop employs workers, and it is a common practice to give priority to the hardships of military families. ” "If the convention is applied to men, there will naturally be no criticism."

Di Choufei looked at Tang Ke playfully, shook his head and said softly: "But you take care of a young woman so much, but you can't help but cause criticism and make people feel unfair. ” Tang Ke's body stiffened slightly: "I" "Yun Qin has a law, and it must be kept."

Di Choufei said: "Actually, if you want to help her, you don't have to use such a method, I see that since you are interested in her, if you let me be the matchmaker, you will marry her, so that her life with her mother should not be a problem." ” Hearing such a sentence, the fear and grievance of the female worker were intertwined in her heart, and tears could not stop flowing.

It's just that she still didn't dare to make any noise, for fear that she would bring more trouble to Tang Ke.

Tang Ke's voice was even stiffer, he swallowed hard, still bowed humbly, and said softly: "My lord, when I came out of Qingluan Academy, I just wanted to live a quiet life, and I would not interfere in any disputes, even if it was just to be a little governor here for the rest of my life." ” Di Choufei heard such an almost begging voice, a hint of happiness began to appear on his handsome face, he shook his head, and said calmly and sarcastically: "But you are Lin Xi's friend after all." ” Tang Ke raised his head.

His respectful face was finally distorted by anger, and he turned blue.

He is just doing things conscientiously here, taking care of such a female worker, and it is just the business of any official in the workshop, but all this has nothing to do with Di Choufei's appearance, Di Choufei's appearance is only because of Lin Xi, just because he is in the academy and is Lin Xi's friend.

Di Choufei didn't seem to see his face at all, but just turned his head and looked at the female worker who was holding tears but didn't dare to make any sobs.

He looked at this ordinary female worker with very poor skin and a green mark in the corner of his eyes, as if he understood something, and sneered: "Do you want to say that you don't think that Hong Xiu is not good-looking enough to marry a wife and a virtuous lady, I advise you, you don't need to be too accidental." ” Ordinary girls are in tears.

She finally couldn't hold back and began to cry out loud.

She couldn't bear the thick humiliation in Di Choufei's tone, she was indeed a very ugly and smelly woman.

She was also a very stupid woman, so she couldn't think of any other way at the moment, she just thought of a way to prevent Di Choufei from humiliating Tang Ke with herself.

So in her crying, she raised the sharpened scissors in her hand and stabbed her heart fiercely.

"Snort" There was a cracking sound in her apron, but the arrow knife didn't pierce her.

Her hand was grasped by an extremely strong hand, as if trapped in an iron pincer.

She saw Tang Ke's distorted and angry face, "Are you crazy?"

The plain-faced woman felt more aggrieved and frightened, she had no idea what else she could do, and her sobs became louder.

"You don't want to work here."

Tang Ke didn't look at Di Choufei at this time, he took down the scissors in the female worker's hand, the ordinary face of the sobbing female worker seemed more supple in his eyes at this moment, "I know this is a bit abrupt, are you willing to marry me, if you want, I want to marry you." ” Di Choufei, who was sneering and smiling, was stunned.

The young woman was stunned.

She felt that she had brought more trouble to Tang Ke and felt more humiliation, so she stopped crying, her face was pale, her eyes were all focused on the scissors in Tang Ke's hand, she stretched out her hands, and wanted to desperately regain the scissors in Tang Ke's hand.

"I'm serious."

But Tang Ke looked at her eyes, shook his head, and then slowly turned his head, looked at Di Choufei, and said in a calm tone: "Master Di, you are right, although she is not good-looking in your eyes, but I want to thank you for letting me see the most precious thing in her."

I need such an ordinary but precious woman to be my wife. ” The young woman's hands froze.

Tang Ke threw away the scissors, grabbed her rough hands, and pulled her to her feet.

"Would you like to," he said with a smile as he looked at the young worker.

The young woman's eyes blurred again, but she saw the sincerity and happiness in Tang Ke's eyes, so she cried and nodded vigorously.

Tang Ke laughed and turned his head to look at Di Choufei, "Thank you, Master Di, for being the matchmaker." ” Di Choufei's face stiffened slightly.

In the surrounding heat, several cheers of workshop workers sounded in the distance.

Facing these two little people, Di Choufei didn't say anything, just turned around and left expressionlessly.

As he walked out of the workshop with a hint of heat and stench, Di Choufei saw a brand-new carriage parked next to his carriage.

In this brand-new Zhongzhou City, Xu Zhenyan, another powerful young man, stood in front of the brand-new carriage with cold eyes.

"Bullying such a small person must not bring you any pleasure."

Looking at Di Choufei who came over, Xu Zhenyan, who was wearing a gray cloak, said indifferently: "If you want to really provoke Lin Xi, let him mess up, and let him suffer more damage, you have to hurt people who are more important to him." ”:
