Most of the cowhide for making the standard black leather armour comes from Linchuan black cattle and Beilong blue cattle. The cowhide of these two kinds of cattle is extremely strong and thick. Especially, Beilong blue cattle always has the old saying that there are ten cattle in Beilong and a knife is worn out.
The leather used for leather making of Dashang leather was first smoked, and the leather was hard, but it was relatively brittle and thin, which would increase the difficulty of subsequent processes. The time for leather making was longer than that of Yunqin.
The leather of Yunqin leather armour is first washed with cold spring water, then boiled with medicine, then cut by hot processing, and then all subsequent work is completed in seven days, because after more than seven days, the leather armour will reach a very hard state after air drying, which is difficult to handle. The cut leftovers are used to boil glue, mix some paint made of tree juice, stick leather nails and make coating on the outside of leather nails, and then go through a series of surface treatment.
In the complicated and delicate process, even in the harsh environment like the dragon snake mountain, even if Yunqin's black leather armor is often soaked in sewage, it will not rot and deform after several months.
A woman dressed in plain cloth and wearing a leather apron, holding a pair of scissors, is cutting a pile of thick leather in front of a vacant lot outside a cooking workshop.
This woman has a little green mark on the left corner of her eye, and her facial features are very common. She is not good-looking. She is about 20 years old, and her hands and feet are thick. She is just an ordinary employee in this tannery.
The leather just boiled out is still very hot, which makes all around her is steaming hot air, and the hot air is mixed with liquid medicine, which is still very smelly. After a long time being smoked by such hot air, the skin of both her hands and her face is rough, without the luster of ordinary girls, and even some reddish puffiness, like the skin of the skin A layer of color is floating on it.
The smell on her body is not good either. It can't be eliminated unless it is washed with good soap paste for several days.
The young man with short hair wearing a court uniform checks some cut leather not far away from the young woman. After carefully checking nearly 200 pieces of leather loaded in the truck, the young man with short hair nods to the Putong woman worker with praise and praise in the steaming hot package.
The female worker bit her lips a little shyly and thanked the short haired young man silently with her eyes.
"You're Tangke, aren't you?" In such a white hot fog, suddenly floating into a calm, but it seems to be and this orderly workshop seems to be inexplicably inconsistent voice.
Tang Ke is a young man with short hair who has a naturally bent body.
His heart thumped for a while. Looking along the place where the voice came from, he saw the figure of a tall and handsome young official full of pride on the edge of the white hot air.
Tang didn't know the handsome young official who was out of line with the workshop, but when he saw the gorgeous official uniform and the purple rhinoceros horn, his face changed slightly and he bowed down: "see Mr. di."
"You know me." Di Chou Fei smiled and looked at the young Luan student who was humble in front of him. He looked at the ordinary female worker who didn't know what was going on. She looked down at her head and did things. All of them looked cramped. "This female worker is called Hong xiunv."
The woman's hand trembled slightly, and the extremely sharp blade almost cut a blood hole on her knuckle.
Tang Ke's face, with his head bowed down, became more and more ugly. He said in an astringent respectful voice, "exactly."
"I also worked as an intern in the company in the early years. I know a little about the armour making workshop." Di choufei looked at the obedient Tang Ke and smiled, "in general, women workers are rarely used in armour making workshops, because they are always weak in strength. Unless some aspects of women workers are particularly excellent, since you have arranged Hong xiunv here, whether because some aspects are particularly excellent, especially the cutting is very fast or very precise, there are even more finished products cut in a day A normal male worker? "
Tang Ke's heart thumped again, and his face became more ugly, but he bowed lower, more obedient and humble: "it's not because of this, Mr. Di, but because Hong's two brothers died in the front line, and her mother was seriously ill..."
Di Chou Fei frowned a little and interrupted Tang Ke's words: "two elder brothers died in the war, the military department should have issued pension?"
Tang Ke explained humbly, "her mother's condition is very serious. Those pensions have been used up before, so she is arranged to work here to maintain her life."
"Just because of compassion?" Di Chou Fei smiled and looked at Tang Ke: "it's not because of personal love?"
The scissors in the woman's hand stopped.
She began to feel frightened and her eyes began to blur.
She is just a child of an ordinary poor family. She has never read a book. She is not a smart person. She does not know the identity of di choufei until now, but at least she can see that di choufei is a very big official, and she can also see that di choufei is deliberately in trouble in Zhao Tangke.
Tang Ke's voice trembled slightly: "master Di, it's the practice to make workshop workers and give priority to the hardship of the army."
"If convention is applied to men, there will be no criticism." Di Chou Fei looked at Tang Ke playfully, shook his head and said softly, "but you take care of a young woman like this, but it will cause criticism and make people feel unfair."
Tang Ke's body is slightly stiff: "I..."
"If there is a law in Yunqin, it is necessary to keep it." In fact, if you want to help her, you don't have to use this method I think since you are interested in her, if you don't let me be the matchmaker, you will marry her, so that her life with her mother will not be a problem. "
Hear such a sentence, female worker's fear and grievance interweave in the heart, tears can't stop flowing out. But she still did not dare to make any sound, for fear that she would bring more trouble to Tang Ke.
Tang Ke's voice was even stiffer. He swallowed his mouth hard and bowed himself humbly. In a soft voice, he said, "my Lord, I just want to live a quiet life when I come out of qingluan college. I won't interfere in any disputes, even if I'm just a little supervisor here all my life."
When Di Chou Fei heard such a voice close to begging for mercy, his pretty face began to show a happy look. He shook his head and said calmly and slightly ironically, "but you are Lin Xi's friend after all."
Don Ke looks up.
His respectful face was at last distorted by anger and hardened.
He is only here to do things conscientiously, to take care of such a woman worker, but also just the business of any official in the workshop But all of this has nothing to do with the appearance of di choufei. It's just because Lin Xi is his friend in the college.
It seems that di Chou Fei didn't see his face at all. He just turned around and looked at the woman who was crying, but didn't dare to make any sobs.
He looked at this ordinary female worker with poor skin color and green eyes, as if he understood something, and sneered: "so you don't want to Do you think Hong Xiu is not good-looking? But to marry a wife and a virtuous lady, I would advise you not to care too much about your appearance. "
Ordinary girls are crying.
At last she couldn't help crying.
She can't bear the humiliation in the voice of Di Chou Fei. She is really a very ugly and smelly woman.
She is also a very stupid woman, so at the moment she can't think of any other way. She just thought of a way to prevent Di Chou Fei from humiliating Tang Ke with herself.
So she was crying, raised the sharpened scissors in her hands, and stabbed them to her heart.
"Hiss!"
There was a crack in her apron, but the arrow blade did not pierce her.
Her hand was held by an extremely powerful hand, as if caught in a vice.
She saw don Ke's twisted and angry face. "Are you crazy?"
This ordinary looking female worker felt more aggrieved and scared. She didn't know what else she could do, and her sobs were louder.
"Don't work here."
But Tang didn't look at di Chou Fei at this time. He took the scissors from the woman's hand. The ordinary face of the sobbing woman seemed more gentle in his eyes at this moment. "I know it's a little abrupt Would you marry me? If you like, I want to marry you. "
The sneering Di Chou Fei was stunned.
The young female worker was also stunned.
She felt that she had brought more trouble and humiliation to Tangke, so she stopped crying and looked pale. Her eyes were all focused on the scissors in Tangke's hands. She stretched out her hands and tried to retrieve the scissors in Tangke's hands.
"I'm serious."
But Tang Ke looked into her eyes, shook his head, then slowly turned his head, looked at di Chou Fei, and said calmly, "you are right, Mr. di. Although she was born in your eyes, she is not good-looking, but I want to thank you. You let 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 were frozen.
Tang Ke put away the scissors, took her rough hands and stood up. "Will you?" He looked at the young woman with a smile and said sincerely.
The young woman's eyes were blurred again, but she saw the sincerity and happiness in Tang Ke's eyes, so she cried and nodded her head.
Tang laughs, turns his head to look at di Chou Fei, "thank you for your matchmaking."
His face was slightly stiff.
In the heat around, there were several cheers from the workshop workers.
Facing these two little people, di Chou Fei didn't say anything more, just turned around and left without expression.
When he came out of the workshop with a trace of heat and odor, di Chou Fei saw a brand-new carriage beside his carriage.
In this brand-new Zhongzhou City, another powerful young man, Xu proverb, stood in front of the brand-new carriage with bleak eyes.
"Bullying such a small person can't bring you any pleasure, can it?"
Looking at di Chou Fei, wearing a grey Cape, he said indifferently, "if you want to really provoke Lin Xi, make him disorderly and hurt him more, you will hurt the people who are more important to him."
