Chapter 135, Escalating Belly Pocket Murder
Xiao Xuan subconsciously dodged behind Shen Qi.
"[On the water side] to open the door to welcome customers, it is everyone's business, and there is no reason to refuse guests." Shen Qi said lightly.
"Yes, we can't control what you want to do business, but you do this, and the men run to the brothel one by one, what kind of system is this?" The woman said indignantly.
"Ladies and ladies!" The woman looked around, "I'm sure quite a few people have bought belly pockets here. ”
After speaking, the woman took out a red belly pocket from her hand with a "hmm-" sound.
As soon as this remark came out, many people did blush.
The men watched with interest.
"But do you know that the belly pockets that [on the water side] sold to us were also sold to prostitutes! In the eyes of Boss Tang, there is no difference between us and prostitutes! We wore the same belly pockets as the prostitutes! ”
This sentence can be regarded as a big hat.
The women's originally laughing expressions suddenly collapsed.
But the men's eyes lit up.
Xiao Xuan's face turned even pale.
The woman threw her belly pocket into the shopkeeper and said indignantly, "I won't buy any more clothes in [On the Water Side]!" ”
With that, the woman turned and left.
As the women left, many of the women who were choosing clothes left one after another.
This is the first time since the opening of [On the Water Side] that a customer has left with emotions.
Xiao Xuan walked out from behind Shen Qi in a trembling manner.
"You know?" Shen Qi asked.
"She is Cao Yuanwai's wife." Xiaoxuan said.
"I see." Shen Qi shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Tang, I've caused you trouble." Xiao Xuan said apologetically.
"It's okay," Shen Qi shook his head, "Go back quickly, come anytime next time if you need anything." ”
"Thank you!"
After saying that, Xiaoxuan trotted away.
As a follow-up to this incident, many women came to return the goods.
Since he came to return the goods, Shen Qi also accepted it calmly.
She understands that most women can't accept that they wear the same belly pocket as a prostitute.
People always have to step on something in order to satisfy some of their vanity and spiritual needs.
- No matter how good I am, I am still better than her.
- How can they compare to me?
Their self-esteem did not allow prostitutes of lower status to wear the same clothes as them, even if it was just a belly pocket.
It's just that, in Shen Qi's view, prostitutes are also people.
Why can't you wear a belly pocket [on the water side]?
The business of [on the water side] has indeed declined due to the belly pocket incident, but it is still going up overall.
Therefore, Shen Qi didn't pay much attention to this matter.
The day, as usual, was sunny and the weather was clear.
Shen Qi was talking to Ding Yuhang about some matters related to cotton nails.
Yes, the cotton armor in Shen Qi's drawings has been completely made, and it is hanging in the last hidden room on the third floor at this time.
Everyone gathered in the room to observe the suit of cotton armor repeatedly.
Even Tang Zongjiu couldn't help but be attracted by this set of cotton armor.
"Then let me introduce it to you." Ding Yuhang cleared his throat and said.
"The appearance of this cotton armor is a dark brown color, and the surface is no different from ordinary armor, but the inside is cotton wool, please see."
Ding Yuhang opened the surface of the armor, and suddenly the cotton wool inside appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Look, here, the cotton wool and the cotton wool fit together tightly, forming a solid protective layer.
Each layer of cotton cloth is sewn with fine stitches that are densely packed like spider webs that hold the cotton cloth together.
The cotton wool is filled between these cotton cloths, and they are evenly distributed between each layer of cotton cloth, forming layer after layer of protective layer.
The batting is compacted to make the entire cotton armor soft and tough, and can effectively resist sword slashes and arrow punctures. ”
After speaking, Ding Yuhang stretched out his hand and pointed to the edge of the cotton armor.
"On the edges and seams of the cotton armor, you can see some delicate hemming and reinforcement treatments.
These treatments not only increase the durability of the cotton armor, but also make the whole cotton nail look more beautiful and delicate.
In addition, some copper nail bubbles are sewn on the cotton armor, which are round or oval in shape and distributed in key parts of the cotton armor, such as the chest, back and shoulders, etc., to enhance the protection ability of these parts.
I believe that wearing this cotton armor, the warriors will feel both warm and safe.
Because this cotton armor can not only resist enemy attacks, but also provide a certain warmth effect for the warriors.
Therefore, in the heat of battle, cotton armor can effectively reduce the damage of the enemy and protect the lives of the fighters. ”
Every time Ding Yuhang said a word, a corresponding picture would appear in everyone's minds.
Until Ding Yuhang finished speaking, everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the cotton armor.
After a long time, Shen Qi finally spoke.
"Send it to my father."
"Leave this to me." Qin Wenyao said.
When it comes to transportation across the country, there is no one present who is more familiar with it than Qin Wenyao.
"Hmm." Shen Qi nodded.
She stared at Tang Zongjiu.
Cotton armor was born, and once it was approved by Emperor Wanzhen, the next step was to customize it in large quantities and send it to various places where the military defense was deployed.
And the Xidong Army must be the first batch of troops to receive cotton armor.
Shen Qi was a little happy, after more than a year, after going through so many things, she finally saw some results.
And at this moment, Tang Yu's voice appeared at the door.
"Oh no, something happened!"
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
Shen Qi opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Yu didn't hesitate, and said anxiously: "In the past few days, many prostitutes have been killed, and all the deceased have the same characteristic, that is, they are wearing our belly pocket [on the water side]!" ”
Hearing this, Shen Qi's pupils froze.
"How many have died?" Shen Qi asked.
"I don't know, the people from the government are already waiting downstairs, asking you and the young master to go to the yamen by name." Tang Yu said anxiously.
"I see." Shen Qi said to Qin Wenyao, "Don't delay the matter of the cotton armor, send it to my father and emperor quickly." ”
Qin Wenyao bowed his head.
"Junge, let's go."
"Hmm."
After speaking, the two came to the hall of the ground building.
At this time, the hall was already full of officials, and the door was also crowded with people.
"I heard that it was killed against a prostitute wearing a belly pocket [on the water side]!"
"It's terrible, isn't it?"
"Won't that kill the women of the good family?"
"I don't know! Maybe the murderer is targeting [on the water side]. ”
"No, no, I have to retreat!"
"Me too, it's terrible, it's a prostitute now, it's us next time!"
For a moment, the shadow of death was gathered on the [water side].
