Chapter 40 The Craft of Mille-Feuille Shoes
For the vast majority of war slaves, the amnesty in the east is basically the only opportunity to enter the warrior station.
At this moment, the gates on both sides of the warrior station were opened together, and the war slaves lined up to report their names, verify their identities, and then enter the center of the warrior station, a huge square.
Zhan Tian looked at the dense crowd and couldn't help but clench his fists.
According to the news overheard that night, Ma Biao will soon get the warrior token, and the so-called Albino Valley Winter Hunt will soon begin. This time, he must get an amnesty quota and get out of the warrior station!
Only when he arrived in Donglin City could he obtain the silver money as soon as possible and use all kinds of cultivation resources to quickly improve his strength.
The ten war slaves killed by him before all had the strength to get an amnesty, and now ten have died in a row, so his chances have more than doubled!
The time is not long, and all the war slaves involved have already stood on the square.
On the periphery of the square, more than a dozen warriors surrounded to maintain order.
A thin old man walked up to a wide platform in the middle of the square, and shouted, "Silence!"
The sound of humming below, quickly calmed down.
This old man is the deputy commander of the martial arts of the southern station, named Li Tang. Zhan Tian is also recognized.
"This year's amnesty is only once. But this time, the quota is ten! In terms of rules, everyone must already know that the old man will not go into details, I hope everyone will perform well and strive to seize this opportunity!" Li Tang said simply.
In the crowd below, the eyes of the war slaves who felt that they had a chance showed nervousness and excitement.
Li Tang glanced back at the ten scribes who had been waiting for a long time behind the high platform, and then said lightly: "Now please come to the stage of the shop that provides the amnesty quota!"
The ten people arched their hands towards Li Tang together, and then walked up to the high platform.
Li Tang retreated a few steps and stood on the edge of the high platform and waited.
After the ten scribes walked up to the high platform, an old man wearing a blue Confucian shirt on the left took the lead in taking a few steps forward and said loudly to the audience: "The old man is a bookkeeper of the 'Chen Family Crafter', and this time he brings a place for a blacksmith apprentice!"
There was a commotion in the audience, and it was obvious that the war slaves knew the name of the Chen family's tools.
Zhan Tian frowned slightly, he didn't expect that this first place was the industry to which the Chen family belonged!
However, he rarely walked out of the Chen family, and he had never seen the account room of the Chen family's instruments. And although he has only been away from the Chen family for three months, his face is tanned, and his body is much stronger than at the beginning, and he is not an acquaintance in the old mansion, and he can't recognize him at all.
The old man in the Confucian shirt cleared his throat, took out a book and glanced at it, and then read it aloud: "Maple Leaf, Ye Teng, Zhantian, He Ziling, Peng Shan......"
He read out ten names in a row before he stopped.
Taking a breath, Zhan Tian followed the few people whose names were read and walked up to the high platform.
However, the old man in the Confucian shirt read ten people, but only nine people climbed the high platform.
Glancing at everyone, the old man in the Confucian shirt smiled and said, "Who is Maple Leaf?"
Without waiting for the nine people to speak, Li Tang, who was standing on the side, said lightly: "Maple Leaf did not participate in this amnesty selection. ”
There was a hint of disappointment in the eyes of the old man in the Confucian shirt, and then he continued: "Which one is Ye Teng?"
A short-haired young man strode out and came to the front of the nine.
"Have you ever studied blacksmithing?" said the old man in the Confucian shirt with a slight smile.
The short-haired young man Ye Teng nodded and said, "Refining, molding, and forging will be a little bit." ”
"Yes, what kind of stone is needed to make the tubular instrument of brass essence as the main material?" asked the old man in the Confucian shirt.
"It's best to use green jade!" Ye Teng said without thinking.
The old man in the Confucian shirt nodded, and then turned to the remaining eight people: "Next, Zhantian!"
Zhan Tian took a step forward and also stood in front of the team.
The old man glanced at him and said, "Have you ever struck iron?"
"I've hit the ingot. Zhan Tian said lightly.
"Boom!"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and he knocked on an iron anvil with a piece of scrap iron, which can be regarded as beating an iron ingot, which most war slaves have done, and it is much worse than the refining, molding, and forging of the leaf vine!
The old man couldn't help but shake his head and asked symbolically, "How should I forge a fine iron ingot with a little hematite added to it?"
"Knock it hard!" Zhan Tian said without hesitation.
The old man shook his head again and turned to the others.
The old man's inquiry was very fast, but in the end, he still chose Ye Teng to take it away.
The other seven looked disappointed and got up to leave the platform.
Zhan Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The old man in the Confucian shirt also walked down from the back of the high platform with Ye Teng, and looked up at the other shops for a long time.
Next, a middle-aged scribe from the eastern city of the "royal family protective gear".
The east is adjacent to the Wang family, and it is also a big family, but there are no children in the family to worship the immortal gate, although there is no one in the old house of the Yichen family, but the status is much higher than that of the Wang family.
The Wang family protector, what he wants to recruit this time, is a leather armor apprentice.
According to the traditional rules of amnesty, the warrior station will provide a list of 20 people under the age of 30 with a higher total score of war slaves and a higher average score for the reference of the shops.
Maple Leaf did not participate, Ye Teng has been selected, and Zhan Tian is currently the first in the average score of the South Station, so he was called to the stage again.
In terms of armor making, Zhantian is well prepared. In addition to the Chen family, he is not picky at present, as long as he can leave the war slave station!
It was because he not only answered the questions of the middle-aged scribe carefully, but also added some thoughts of his own.
It's a pity that after all the ten people on the stage asked, the middle-aged scribe didn't seem to be satisfied, and asked the war slaves in the audience.
Of course, this is also the right of the shop.
After some questions, the middle-aged scribe of the royal family's protective gear chose a tall and thin middle-aged war slave.
"Please sir, please!"
The middle-aged scribe was about to turn back, but Zhan Tian opened his mouth to stop him.
Everyone on and off the stage was slightly stunned and looked at Zhantian together.
The middle-aged scribe also looked displeased, and asked Zhantian, "Do you have anything to say?"
Zhan Tian took a breath and said, "I have a way to make shoes, I wonder if Mr. is interested?"
The middle-aged scribe was slightly stunned, and sneered, "Then you can talk about it." ”
"Bound together with shredded skins, rags, and wheat paste, flattened and dried. Then cut to the size of the sole of the foot, four to eight layers of superposition, the perimeter can be covered with strips of cloth, and then densely embellished with thick lines, as the sole. Finally, three to six layers of coarse cloth are stacked, and the soles are sturdy around the sole, and the shoes are made into uppers!
Zhan Tian spoke fluently.
This is the Chinese nation, the ancient shoe-making process, the production method of "mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes".
Mille-feuille cloth shoes, which have been circulated in Chinese culture for more than 3,000 years, are naturally a very simple and mature shoe-making process!
(My favorite shoe is my mother's mille-feuille sole...... It's not easy for migrant workers, like Zhantian, who starts from the bottom step by step, I'm afraid there are not many online articles!
