Chapter 229: Mysterious Shaodong
"Young owner, look, the old shopkeeper of the leather shop has newly sent a picture of armor, saying that you must see it yourself." It was already dark, and in the backyard of Jisheng Roast Duck Workshop, the young owner with a mask was reading the accounts, when a waiter of about twenty years old strode in from outside and handed over a scroll.
"Oh? Didn't the old shopkeeper say that the armor map was not easy to draw, and it would take five days to get results? The eyes under the mask flashed, and he said lightly, but he took the scroll without any ambiguity in his hand.
This armor map is too important for what he wants to do now, and he can't slack off in the slightest, so after hearing that it was the armor map, the young owner put down the account book in his hand and concentrated on dealing with this matter.
The scroll slowly stretched out in the young owner's hand, and on it was a woman in armor, saying that it was armor, but rather a leather vest. Completely different from the full set of armor in normal times, this armor only has an upper body, and does not even have the most basic helmet, shoulder armor, and arm armor.
If Huiya had been in this house, she would have found that the scroll had been painted by herself and sent to a leather shop for customization.
"What else did the old shopkeeper say?" Looking at the delicate brushwork of this scroll and the pretty and lively colors, the young owner only felt that it didn't look like a picture that the old shopkeeper of the leather shop could draw. And the one wearing the armor in the painting is actually a woman, and the armor I want to create is all for men, so there must be something strange here.
Shao Dongjia looked down at the woman in the painting, the silver mask glowed faintly in the bright candlelight, although the face of the woman in the painting was not very clear, but the vigorous breath between the eyebrows made him unconsciously appear in his mind A pretty face, that is, such a smart and courageous woman, can knock away the five shares of this roast duck shop from his body.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the young owner's face, but because most of his face except for his mouth and chin were firmly hidden under the mask, no one noticed his smile.
"Peel the store." The young proprietor clenched the scroll in his hand. Knowing that there must be something unknown here that cannot be easily revealed, he sorted out the matter at hand, and opened the back door of this backyard accompanied by his attendants. He rode a black steed to the fur shop.
Entering the back door of the leather shop, the young owner threw the whip back, and the attendant took it neatly, leading the horse down to drink water and feed the grass, and the young owner was under the guidance of the visitor. I entered the room of the old shopkeeper of the leather shop.
"Young owner, you're here!" The old shopkeeper, who was about fifty years old with gray hair and wrinkled skin, hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to the silver-masked young owner, not at all because the young owner was still young.
"Well, what the hell is going on with this scroll? The style of armor is good, but why is it used by women? The young proprietor was not polite, put the scroll on the table in front of the old shopkeeper, and asked.
"Yu Shao Dong. The small self-hit received your order, thinking about it day and night but getting nothing, today I received an order by chance, but found that the armor on the order was very similar to the requirements of the young owner, so I couldn't help but ask the young owner to come over to discuss. The old shopkeeper explained the ins and outs of how he got the scroll.
"Young master, please see, although the armor drawn in this scroll is for women, it can be used on men with a little improvement. This armor compares to traditional leather armor. The time and leather required to make it are only a quarter of the original one, and key locations such as the heart and lungs can be protected. The old shopkeeper spread out the scroll and spoke in detail.
"The style of this armor is simple and easy to wear. Worn on the outside of the clothes, you can hang bows and arrows, quivers, and wear them inside the robes, which is not easy to find. ”
"Childe, please see, there is a slot in this chest, so you don't need to put anything in it on weekdays. Once there is danger, insert a piece of heart protection before and after this, it will not cost much silver, but it can provide more protection. "The old shopkeeper has been making leather armor for decades, but he never thought that armor could be made like this.
As a craftsman, the old shopkeeper was amazed by such a good design, and thought about the functions of various places, but felt that the armor drawn on this scroll was too powerful.
"Who sent this scroll, do you know?" The young proprietor was obviously more vigilant, and although he attached great importance to the armor in this painting, he was more worried about the meaning of the armor picture. Although he is not as frightened as the cup bow snake shadow, if he is stabbed out of his own secret weapon armor, it will be a big crime to kill his head.
The young owner pursed his lips and squinted his eyes and lowered his head to think, his own family wants to make light armor, and because of the limited amount of silver, if he wants to let all the soldiers have a set, the budget will be evenly divided, only one-third of the ordinary armor, which is far from being able to meet the needs. And this is still in the case of their own leather goods store, which saves a lot of raw materials and labor.
Thinking of the current situation, Rao has opened many stores to raise money, but the silver is still stretched. Such a dilemma made the young but very capable young owner a little worried, but now suddenly popped up with a perfect solution to the problem, the young owner in the surprise, but also couldn't help but feel that this may be a trap.
"Shao Dongjia, the one who came to order here is the steward of the Zhao family of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, surnamed Dong and Dong Cheng, who is the companion of the second wife of the Zhao family." The old shopkeeper hesitated slightly, and then said the person who ordered the goods, the old shopkeeper was originally a person under the old owner, and now although he is open a shop on the surface, his life is the owner's, and there is nothing to hide.
"The Zhao family of the Five Cities Terracotta Division?" The young owner repeated the name in his mouth, his mind spinning quickly, but he didn't say anything. The Zhao family of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has just defected to the prince's party now, and suddenly took out such an armor pattern, what is his intention?
"First deliver the goods according to this pattern, and by the way, change it into a model that can be used by men, and make two pieces quietly, and wait for me to find out what tricks the Zhao family is playing, and then it is not too late to make it in large quantities." The young owner's eyes flashed with a cold light, and after explaining, he turned back and looked at the woman drawn on the scroll, turned around and left.
"Yes!" The old shopkeeper bowed his head in agreement, and when he raised his head again, where was the shadow of the young owner, he seemed to come like a gust of wind, and then disappeared like a gust of wind. (To be continued.) )
