Chapter 378 Where to find the armor Salty and stinky mandarin fish harbor
This Zhang Fulai is a hall master of the Yanyu Building in Jiangnan, this person is in his forties, born thick and dark, originally a leather craftsman, that is, people from the vicinity of Kyoto.
Although Zhang Fulai was born in the Central Plains and was not good at the production of armor, his brother was in the military and was stationed in the Hexi corridor, because he was stationed at the border all the year round, and the two brothers talked about these things in their letters.
After all, it is a family of leather craftsmen, and Zhang Fulai's brothers, who are far away in the border pass, have talked about the production of leather armor, because the border is tight, and sometimes there is a shortage of iron armor, so local craftsmen will adapt measures to local conditions and use thick leather to make armor, whether it is tough or heavy, it is quite practical.
Zhang Fulai had not yet entered the Jiangnan Yanyu Building, although he had obtained this production technique, but there was no way to make it without guidance, not to mention that it was a big crime to have armor privately, but it was just a common thing between brothers, but he already knew the process of making leather armor.
Because it is necessary to nitrate this thick skin, and then reach the hardness that can resist the attack, it requires a lot of running water, and the smell is very strong when making leather armor, which is difficult to hide, and the process of making leather armor also needs to be repeatedly boiled with special gray water, painted on the surface and then dried, and the taste is even more unpleasant.
Therefore, if you want to find a workshop for making leather armor, it must be close to the water vein, and the yard where the leather armor is dried also needs a lot of space.
Xu Fei checked the batch of leather armor in the warehouse, and the condition was all brand new, and it looked like it had just been made recently, and there was no difference between the old and the new, indicating that it was made in the same place recently. According to the clues provided by Zhang Fulai, the scope of the search in the Tangkou where Jiangnan Yanyulou was responsible for the investigation was much smaller.
Jiangnan Yanyulou is responsible for investigation, tracking and other departments are called "rain", although the strength of the master in the hall is very good at confronting strong enemies, but they are all types that help to hide their tracks and lurk and explore. These masters not only have to be energetic, but also agile and adaptable.
This time, the task of exploring the workshop of these many military supplies fell on the body of "Rain". The name of the hall master of this hall is Lin Shiyin, who is in his early forties, and his appearance is extremely ordinary, so ordinary that no matter where he appears, he will be ignored by others.
But Lin Shiyin's skills are not ordinary, so ordinary that all the people in Jiangnan Yanyulou know his name, but if you talk about this person's appearance, no one can describe it in detail, I just feel that this person's facial features and figure are so ordinary that there are no features to extract.
Such a Lin Shiyin, who has a completely different appearance and skills, showed his unusualness again this time.
"Nine times out of ten, I see that the workshop where the leather armor is made is located in the Red Head Cliff, where there is a fishing village, dozens of families, the village is not big or small, it is located in a curved channel of the Wujing River, and ordinary boats will not come here. ”
Because the water surface of the village is a depression, the boats on the river will not come to the water in front of the village unless they are deliberate, and if there are unfamiliar faces here, it is difficult for outsiders to find them. ”
Zhang Fulai listened and asked: "Not only does the production of leather armor need to be close to the water source, but the smell is fishy when it is dried and made, and it is extremely difficult to hide it, can this fishing village of Redhead Cliff do this?"
Lin Shiyin nodded and said: "This fishing village is actually somewhat famous, most of the salted fish and stinky mandarin fish we eat in Kyoto are produced by this fishing village. Because these salted fish stinky mandarin fish are dried all year round, the taste is really not flattering, if you don't like to eat this bite, I'm afraid that the village entrance will not dare to go in. ”
"I don't know what the taste of making leather armor is, but I've been to this fishing village many times, and the smell of stinky fish is extremely strong, and it is the only choice to cover up other smells, and ordinary people can't tell the difference. ”
Zhang Fulai heard Lin Shiyin say this, and said with a smile: "Others can't tell the difference, your brother Lin's nose can't be deceived by anything, it seems that you have to take a hard trip." ”
The two hall masters were talking about the place where this leather armor was made, but Chu Jinghong fell into deep thought, now his body is far from recovering, and Guan Wanshan is even more difficult to fight, although the situation in Kyoto is calm now, but many of the Supreme Sect Masters are entering Beijing in batches, and they are careless.
Moreover, many hall masters were injured in the battle of Qingtian Street, and most of them were because they were too reluctant to urge their strength, and Changsheng Hou was also powerless, and the other hall masters performed their own duties, and they were all lacking in skills.
Those workshops will inevitably have the masters of the Supreme Gate to be on strict alert, and now the top master who can be counted on is Xu Fei alone, so these workshops have to be eaten one bite at a time, as if they are occasionally discovered, if they still attack together like Qingtian Street, not only will the people be stretched, but also make the Supreme Gate realize that the materials in the warehouse have been discovered.
It's just that although Xu Fei said that he had recovered, after all, he had just recovered for a few days, and he wanted to let him go out to pound Longtan and enter the tiger's den, which was really unbearable. was weighing it, and heard Xu Fei next to him speak.
"This matter will be handled by the younger brother, as long as Brother Lin is sure that this is where the Supreme Gate steals armor, I heard Brother Lin say that this place is not far from Kyoto, then give me one night to destroy it." ”
Chu Jinghong listened to Xu Fei's words, and his heart was moved for a while, and he felt guilty, since this young man came to Jiangnan Yanyu Building, there were almost a few days of peace, he repeatedly encountered strong enemies, and was injured many times, and this time he had to let this young brother bear this thousand pounds of burden.
But Chu Jinghong is heroic and heroic, he doesn't act like a child, he just pats Xu Fei on the shoulder hard, and all his concerns are in this.
The fishing village below the red-headed cliff has become the first target of suspicion, and the candidate who went to investigate was Lin Shiyin, the hall master in this "rain", and this time the stakes were very high, so he had to go out in person.
To say that Lin Shiyin is also a well-known master, but he has never defeated a strong enemy in his life, and he has not even clashed with others, and all his fame comes from his nose.
This man turned out to be a guy at a restaurant in Kyoto, and although he was enlightened since childhood, he didn't realize it, because this kind of energy ability could not be used in battle against the enemy, but he embodied his sense of smell. Because of his poor family since he was a child, Lin Shiyin entered the famous Xiangmanlou in Kyoto as an apprentice when he was a teenager.
The apprentices of these big restaurants are only done by poor families, and the apprentices have no wages for five years, but only take care of food, lodging and clothing, and only after leaving the teacher can they be qualified to collect tips from guests, and at that time they can be regarded as having survived.
To be a guy who runs the hall needs to have a sweet mouth and fast legs, eight sides exquisite, especially to have a good brain, the guest orders a table of dishes, as well as a variety of taste requirements, you have to listen to it once and keep it firmly in mind, when you go to pass the food, you must not leak a drop of water, you can't make a mistake at all, and the apprentice's strong memory ability is very high.
Lin Shiyin is indeed a genius who runs the hall, and in less than three months after arriving at Xiangmanlou, all the names of the dishes have been memorized, and the subtle requirements for the guests can be firmly remembered. And because of this usual appearance, when you come out and go in to serve food, you will not disturb the guests' chats, and many guests feel that this guy is clever and has a reward from time to time.
After going back and forth, the boss of Xiangmanlou also noticed this young guy, but he really got the appreciation of the boss of Xiangmanlou because of an unbelievable thing.
Xiangmanlou's business is particularly prosperous, which has attracted the jealousy of many peers, and has been trying to find a reason to suppress it, but because he has no handle, he has a bad heart. Those profiteers bought off the second kitchen of Xiangmanlou, and when Xiangmanlou entertained a court official, they adjusted the ratio of condiments and salt sauce.
This proportion will not be too excessive, but it will lead to the imperfect taste of the dishes, and those first-class officials of the imperial court will definitely be furious because of their extremely tricky tastes. The second chef will not be suspicious because of excessive adjustment of taste, as if the chef's performance today is abnormal.
But I didn't expect to be hidden by Lin Shi.
