Chapter 130: Plate Armor

Na Zhe whispered in An Dalang's ear: "Da Lang, if you and Xia Rongniang are doing things on the sofa, you will have a different experience, and it will definitely feel very cool." If you believe me, give it a try. ”

An Dalang was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he understood what Na Zhe meant. The two glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

Seeing this scene, Wanqiu asked curiously, "Ju Niang, what are they talking about?" The mysterious appearance of the gods. ”

Fang Juniang said indifferently: "It's definitely not a good word, men are like that, don't pay attention to them." ”

After picking out the furniture, Hu Shuiyang asked a few workers to load the furniture into a truck and transport it to the new house.

By this time, it was already noon, and several people were walking towards the camp. After entering the cafeteria, several people sat at the table for a while, Xia Rongniang was a little shy, lowered her head and did not speak.

Na Zhe and Fang Juniang began to liven up the atmosphere, and everyone chatted.

At this time, Cui Zhaorong walked in. When he saw a few people, he came over and sat down, and then said with a smile: "It just so happens that both sides are here!" Save me from going to you. ”

Na Zhe asked, "Lao Cui, is there something wrong?" ”

Cui Zhaorong said: "I have an idea, and I will discuss it with you. Our Cui family's hotel has been renovated and is preparing to open in a few days. I think your banquet will be held in the hotel, what do you think? ”

Na Zhe smiled, "Lao Cui, are you very treacherous?" Let them hold their banquet in a restaurant, do you want them to advertise for you? ”

Cui Zhaorong has been with them for a long time, and he also knows what advertising means. He shook his head and said, "Sir, you misunderstood. Do hotels still need to advertise? The chef there is just found by us from Mingzhou, and the craftsmanship is much better than the half-hangers in the canteen, I mean it. Besides, the head of the house has instructed that all the income of the hotel will be handed over to the school, and it is not that Mr. You take advantage. ”

Na Zhe was a little embarrassed and hurriedly apologized: "Lao Cui, I'm joking with you, don't you mind." Then hold a banquet in a restaurant, Dalang, what do you think? ”

An Dalang glanced at Xia Rongniang and asked, "Sister, what do you think?" ”

Xia Rongniang nodded, "The slave family agrees, all the money earned by the hotel will be given to the school, and the children can live a little better, this is a good thing, we should support it." ”

Cui Zhaorong said happily: "Then it's decided, I have prepared ten tables, can I arrange a hundred people, is it enough?" ”

Everyone began to discuss how many guests to invite. Na Zhe found a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one. Soon, a list was written, about ninety or so people.

Cui Zhaorong picked up the list, looked at it and put it away. Then he said: "I'll find someone to write an invitation in the afternoon, and I'll send it in the evening, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

An Dalang thanked Lao Cui and said that he would definitely find an opportunity to invite him to drink in the future. Fang Juniang talked about the decoration of the new house again, and An Dalang said sincerely: "Ju Niang, you can help me, I am a rough person, I don't know these things at all." ”

Fang Juniang said with a smile: "No problem, we have a lot of sisters, they can all help, you don't have to worry." ”

So everyone started to eat, An Dalang looked at Xia Rongniang who was eating in small bites stupidly, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.

After the meal, everyone got busy.

March 20 of the first year of Qiande (963 AD)

At dusk, a large crowd gathered outside a large wooden hut on the east side of the camp. A row of red lanterns hung under the eaves of the wooden house, and candles had been lit.

This is the newly renovated hotel, and the people at the door are all guests who have come to attend the wedding. An Dalang was wearing new clothes, wearing a hood on his head, and greeted everyone with a spring breeze on his face.

Cui Zhaorong opened the door of the hotel and invited everyone in. Many people walked into the hotel with congratulatory gifts.

The inside of the hotel is very spacious, about 500 square meters. There are more than 30 tables in it, and many red lanterns are hung on the beams, which looks very festive.

A table was set up at the door, and the two Cui family's account rooms wrote gift lists, recording down the congratulatory gifts of the visitors.

Everyone looked for a place to sit and chatted with acquaintances. At this time, Wei Hongye and a dozen craftsmen walked in, and there was a young man behind him carrying a big burden.

An Dalang smiled and came over to greet everyone and invited them to take a seat inside. Wei Hongye asked the young man to put the burden on an empty table, and then said, "Da Lang, this burden is a congratulatory gift from all of us, guess what?" ”

An Dalang took a closer look at the baggage and didn't have a clue. He asked curiously, "Second brother, what's inside?" ”

Wei Hongye slowly opened the baggage, revealing what was inside. An Dalang saw some brilliant curved steel sheets, all of which were different in size and shape.

Wei Hongye said with a smile: "Da Lang, this is an armor, which is made of stainless steel. It's our latest product for you to put on and try. ”

An Dalang picked up a piece, looked at it repeatedly, and said suspiciously: "Steel is very good, but how to wear it?" ”

Several craftsmen came over and strung these steel pieces together with cowhide ropes to help An Dalang wear them on his body.

After a while, the armor was put on. The craftsman picked up another helmet and put it on for An Dalang. It is a plate armor similar to that of the European Middle Ages, consisting of iron gloves, arm guards, leg guards, and large breastplates and back armor, which tightly encased Anda.

Wei Hongye personally put down the mask on the helmet again, and An Dalang stood there, his whole body flashing with cold light, majestic.

Everyone came around, some people went up and stroked the nail piece, and everyone talked about it. An Dalang moved his body and didn't feel anything hindered. He pushed the armor and said excitedly: "Second brother, this armor is too good, not very heavy, and it is very convenient to move." ”

Wei Hongye said: "This plate armor weighs about 40 catties, and it is made of good steel, which is very difficult to make. It was hammered out little by little by craftsmen with hammers. Dalang, you have to thank these craftsmen! ”

An Dalang bowed to a dozen or so craftsmen and thanked them for making this armor. The craftsmen hurriedly returned the salute, saying that it was under the guidance of Wei Hongye that such a good armor was made.

At this time, Zhao Zizhong walked in with more than 20 people, all of whom were leaders of the escort team at all levels. When these people saw the plate armor, they all gathered around and looked carefully. Some of them were thrashing their plate armor so hard that their hands hurt. Then he bared his teeth and shouted loudly.

Zhao Zizhong shouted: "Get out of the way, what's the trouble!" ”

These people all dodged, and Zhao Zizhong walked over and carefully observed the armor.

An Dalang smiled and said, "Brother, how is this armor?" Majestic enough, right? ”

Zhao Zi touched the nail piece again, "It's good, Lao Wei, you guys are really good!" Silently, the plate armor was made. Can it be mass-produced now? ”

Wei Hongye shook his head and said: "It can't be mass-produced yet, and now the steel production is insufficient, and we also have to study the hydraulic forging technology." This plate armor was made by hand by craftsmen, and it was very expensive, and we can't make it in large quantities yet. ”

Zhao Zi thought about it and said: "It's okay, we don't have to participate in large-scale battles now, mainly at sea, and the demand for plate armor is not very urgent." You take your time. ”

An Dalang asked, "Second brother, how well is this armor able to resist bows and arrows?" Can you prevent the slash of the knife and axe? ”

Wei Hongye said: "We have tried, but ordinary bows and arrows are useless at all. The knife cut it, and even the mark could not be left. But you have to pay attention to heavy weapons such as sledgehammers, axes, maces, etc., which cannot break the armor, but can shock the body with the force of impact. ”

An Dalang said happily: "This is already very powerful, if I hold a horse lance, as long as the armor can prevent the bow and arrow, who can get close to me?" On the battlefield I can walk sideways, hahaha! ”

At this time, Boris and Du Dalei also walked in, and as soon as they saw the plate armor, their eyes lit up, and they had to put it on and try it on.

The craftsmen helped Adalo remove the plate armor and put it on Boris. Boris is about the same height as An Dalang, and he fits perfectly when he wears it.

Then Du Dalei also tried it on, because he was a little shorter and his armor looked a little bigger.

Du Dalei shouted: "Old Wei, why don't you make me a set?" You're so eccentric. ”

Wei Hongye said with a smile: "Da Lang wants to take the guards out to fight, of course he needs good armor. You're staying on the island, you don't have anything to wear like this, aren't you tired? ”

Du Dalei was speechless and took off his armor. Na Zhe walked in with a few teachers from the school and Xia Rongniang, who was wearing a red wedding dress.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the bride carefully. Xia Rongniang was embarrassed and hid behind Wanqiu.

Zhao Zi shouted again: "Everyone sit down, the wedding will start soon." ”

So the guests all looked for places to sit, and the women sat down at an empty table.

At this time, Cui Daoshu walked in, followed by Shen and Cui Ying'er, supporting Mrs. Cui on the left and right. followed by several female dependents of the Cui family.

The brothers hurriedly greeted the old lady and greeted him. Then the old lady was arranged to sit down in the middle of the front row and poured tea.

Cui Zhaorong walked over and asked Zhao Zizhong: "Everyone is basically here, should you start now?" ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and said, "Then let's start, who will officiate the wedding?" ”

"It's Mr. Na and Mr. Du."

Zhao Zizhong couldn't help but have a headache, these two goods got together, don't make anything happen.

Na Zhe walked to the front, took out his harmonica and began to play. He played the famous song "Joyful Yangyang" of later generations, and the music was relaxed and cheerful, very beautiful.

Everyone stopped talking and listened attentively. In a few moments, the music was finished. Na Zhe put away the harmonica and said loudly: "Distinguished guests, relatives and friends, today is a big day, I announce that the wedding has officially begun!" Two newcomers are invited! ”
