Although Yunqin's ordinary black patent leather armor is a normal consumable among the border troops, even the most common frontier army will probably be issued two to three sets of black patent leather armor a year, but the large amount does not mean that it is manufactured

The uncomplicated process does not mean it is cheap and has poor defense.

Most of the cowhide used to make the standard black patent leather armor comes from Linchuan black cattle and Beilong Qingniu. The hides of these two types of cattle are naturally extremely strong, especially Beilong Qingniu. There have always been ten cattle from Beilong, which can grind a knife.

Ancient saying.

The leather used to make leather armor in Da Mang was first smoked. The leather was hard, but relatively brittle and thin, and it would increase the difficulty of subsequent processes. Making leather armor took longer than Yun Qin.

The leather used to make leather armor in Yunqin is first washed with cold spring water, then steamed with medicinal ingredients, and processed and cut by heat. All subsequent work is completed within seven days, because after more than seven days, the leather armor will reach a very hard state after drying, making it difficult to handle.

The cut scraps are used to boil glue, mixed with some paint made from tree sap, used to adhere the leather armor and make a coating on the leather armor, and then undergo a series of surface treatments.

Due to the tedious and exquisite craftsmanship, even in the harsh environment of the Dragon Snake Mountains, Yunqin's black leather armor will not rot or deform after being soaked in sewage for several months.

A woman wearing ordinary plain clothes and a leather apron was holding a pair of scissors and was cutting out a pile of thick leather in front of her in the open space outside a cooking workshop.

This woman has a slight green mark on the corner of her left eye, and her facial features are very ordinary, not good-looking. She is about 20 years old, has thick hands and feet, and is just an ordinary employee in this tannery workshop.

The leather that had just been steamed was still very hot, making everything around her filled with steam. The hot steam was mixed with the liquid medicine, and it still smelled very bad. Being smoked by such hot steam for a long time, whether it was the skin of her hands or her

The skin on the face looked a bit rough, without the luster of an ordinary girl at all, and there was even some reddish swelling, as if a layer of skin color was floating on top.

She also smelled anything but pleasant, a smell that would be impossible to eliminate unless washed with good soap for several days.

A young man with short hair wearing an official uniform was inspecting some tailor-made leather not far from the young female worker. After carefully inspecting nearly two hundred pieces of leather loaded into the car, the young man with short hair

Wrapped in the steaming steam, the man nodded with praise and approval to this ordinary female worker.

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

"Are you Tang Ke?" In the white heat mist, a voice that although calm suddenly floated in, seemed inexplicably incongruous with this orderly workshop.

The young man with short hair and a naturally rickety figure is Tang Ke.

His heart skipped a beat, and he looked along where the sound came from. He saw a tall, handsome, and proud young official slowly emerging from the edge of the steaming white heat.

Tang Ke didn't know this handsome young official who was incompatible with this workshop, but the moment he saw the other person's luxurious official uniform and purple rhino horn, his expression changed slightly and he bowed: "See Di

grown ups."

"You do recognize me." Di Choufei smiled slightly, looking at the Qingluan student who showed humility in front of him, and then at the student who didn't know what was going on and was doing things with his head down, looking embarrassed.

Ordinary female worker: "Is this female worker named Hong Xiunu?"

The female worker's hands trembled slightly, and the extremely sharp scissors almost cut a bloody gash on her knuckles.

Tang Ke, who lowered his head, looked even more ugly, and respectfully said with difficulty: "Exactly."

"I was also an intern in the engineering department in the early years, and I know a little bit about armor-making workshops." Di Choufei looked at the obedient Tang Ke and smiled slightly, "Generally, armor-making workshops rarely use female workers.

Because female workers always have weaker hands, unless they are

The workmanship is particularly outstanding in some aspects. Since you have arranged this Hong embroidery girl here, is it because she is particularly outstanding in some aspects? The cutting is particularly fast or very precise. She can even cut more finished products in one day than the average male worker.

What?"

Tang Ke's heart thumped again. His expression became even uglier, but he bowed his body lower, appearing more submissive and humble: "Master Di, it's not for this reason, it's just because of Hong Xiu's two elder brothers.

They all died on the front line, and my mother was seriously ill..."

Di Choufei frowned slightly and interrupted Tang Ke: "My two brothers died in the battle. The military department should have paid out the pension, right?"

Tang Ke explained humbly: "Her mother's condition is relatively serious, and the previous pension has been used up, so she was arranged to work here to maintain her livelihood."

"Just because of sympathy?" Di Choufei smiled and looked at Tang Ke: "Not because of personal feelings?"

The scissors in the female worker's hand stopped.

She started to feel scared and her eyes started to blur.

She is just an ordinary child from a poor family, has never read a book, and is not considered a smart person. At this time, she does not know the identity of Di Choufei, but she can at least see that Di Choufei is a very, very big person.

Officer, and she could also see that Di Choufei was deliberately causing trouble for Zhao Tangke.

Tang Ke's voice trembled slightly: "Master Di, when hiring workers in the workshop, we give priority to the needs of military families. This is a common practice."

"If the convention is applied to men, there will naturally be no criticism." Di Choufei looked at Tang Ke jokingly, shook his head and said softly: "But if you take care of a young woman like this, you will inevitably attract criticism, which makes people feel unfair.

."

Tang Ke's body stiffened slightly: "I..."

"Yun Qin has laws, and they must be observed." Di Choufei said with his hands behind his hands: "Actually, if you want to help her, you don't have to use this method... I think since you are interested in her, if not, let me be the matchmaker.

, you marry her, so that her and her mother’s life should not be a problem.”

Hearing such words, the female worker's fear and grievance intertwined in her heart, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out. However, she still did not dare to make any sound, for fear that she would bring greater trouble to Tang Ke.

Tang Ke's voice became stiffer. He swallowed hard, bowed humbly as before, and said softly: "Sir, when I came out of Qingluan Academy, I just wanted to live a quiet life. I will not interfere in any disputes.

, even if I just stay here as a small supervisor for the rest of my life."

When Di Choufei heard such a voice that was almost begging for mercy, a look of pleasure began to appear on his handsome face. He shook his head and said calmly and slightly sarcastically: "But you are Lin Xi's friend after all."

Tang Ke raised his head.

His respectful face was finally distorted by anger and became livid.

He is just working conscientiously here. Taking care of such a female worker is only the responsibility of any official in the workshop... But all this has nothing to do with the appearance of Di Choufei. The appearance of Di Choufei is only because of Lin Xi.

Just because he was in the college and was Lin Xi's friend.

Di Choufei didn't seem to see his expression at all. He just turned his head and looked at the female worker who was crying but did not dare to make any sobs.

He looked at this ordinary female worker with a poor complexion and green marks at the corners of her eyes, and seemed to understand something, and said sarcastically: "So you don't want to... do you think Hong Xiu's girls are not good-looking enough? But marrying a virtuous wife, I

I would like to advise you not to worry too much about your appearance."

Ordinary girls are crying.

She finally couldn't help it and started crying.

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

She is also a very stupid woman, so she can't think of any other way at the moment. She just thought of a way to prevent Di Choufei from using herself to humiliate Tang Ke.

So while she was crying, she raised the sharp and fast scissors in her hand and stabbed herself hard in the heart.

"laugh!"

There was a crack on her apron, but the arrow knife did not penetrate into her body.

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

She saw Tang Ke's twisted and angry face, "Are you crazy!"

The ordinary-faced female worker felt even more aggrieved and frightened. She didn't know what else she could do, and her sobs became louder.

"You don't want to work here anymore."

Tang Ke didn't look at Di Choufei at this time. He took the scissors from the hand of the sobbing female worker. In his eyes, the ordinary face of the sobbing female worker seemed more supple at this moment, "I know this is a bit abrupt...

Will you marry me? If you are willing, I want to marry you."

Di Choufei, who was smiling sarcastically, was stunned.

The young female worker was also stunned.

She felt that she had brought greater trouble to Tang Ke and felt greater humiliation, so she stopped crying, her face turned pale, and all her eyes focused on the scissors in Tang Ke's hands. She stretched out her hands,

I want to desperately take back the scissors in Tang Ke's hand.

"I'm serious."

But Tang Ke looked into her eyes, shook his head, 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, you let me see the most precious thing in her. I need such an ordinary but precious woman to be my wife."

Young female worker's hands are frozen.

Tang Ke threw away the scissors, held her rough hands, and pulled her to stand up. "Are you willing?" He looked at the young female worker with a smile and said sincerely.

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

Tang Xiao laughed and turned to look at Di Choufei, "Thank you, Mr. Di, for being the matchmaker."

Di Choufei's face stiffened slightly.

In the hot air around him, a few distant cheers from the workshop workers could be heard.

Facing these two little people, Di Choufei said nothing more, but turned and left expressionlessly.

When Di Choufei walked out of the workshop with a hint of heat and stench, he 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 little person probably won't bring you any pleasure, right?"

Looking at Di Choufei walking over, Xu Zhenyan, who was wearing a gray cloak, said coldly: "If you want to really anger Lin Xi, make him lose his position, and make him suffer greater harm, you have to hurt him.

People whose words are more important.”
