Tang Shiyue held up her chin and said, "Ah Jing, tell me, how about getting a tattoo for the birthmark on Ren Dong's face?"
Qi Jing was stunned for a moment and turned his head to take a look.
Tang Shiyue said: "Although I really think it's nothing, there are indeed many people in this world who judge people by their appearance. Since there is no way to cure it, and Ren Dong doesn't mind, why don't we just tattoo a pattern in a generous manner, and then do it again?"
Majestic and beautiful, let’s see who dares to be so awesome!”
Qi Jing pondered for a moment and asked Ren Dong: "What do you think?"
Ren Dong was a little happy and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, little lady."
His kind of birthmark is just pigmentation, not the kind with hemangioma, so there is no need to worry about danger.
Just as he was told, Tang Shiyue took Ren Dong to town the next day.
She was asking the little beggar about a good tattoo master when Han Yi came over on his own.
Ever since Mrs. Ye went to the Tang family, Han Yi had been extremely attentive to her. As soon as he heard that she was looking for a good tattoo master, he drove her there in person, boasting at the same time: "I didn't say that, it's not just our town.
Even in the county, Kong Tattoo has the best craftsmanship!"
People these days like to address people by their profession. This tattoo master is a foreigner. His surname is Kong and his name is Dan. He is an extremely thin middle-aged man.
After Tang Shiyue made his request, he looked at the birthmark carefully and started sketching it on the paper.
Tang Shiyue waited a little boredly while chatting with Han Yi. After waiting for more than half an hour, Kong Tattoo showed the painting to her.
Tang Shiyue was a little surprised when he saw it.
What he painted seems to be a kind of beast, in the posture of a tiger descending from the mountain, with nine tails spread out, looking majestic.
Kong Qingqing said: "This is Lu Wu. Lu Wu has a tiger body with nine tails and a human face with tiger claws." But because you can't tattoo gods on your body for fear that you won't be able to bear the blessings, I made a slight change and tattooed the human body with a tiger claw.
The appearance has been changed, only the body of a tiger and nine tails."
Lu Wu is also called Jian Wu. The "Shan Hai Jing" says: "Four hundred miles to the southwest, it is called the Kunlun Hill. It is actually the capital of the emperor and the god Lu Wu. Its god has the shape of a tiger with nine tails and a human face.
And the tiger's claw is the god who oversees the nine divisions of heaven and the emperor's confinement time."
Tang Shiyue suddenly nodded and gestured to Ren Dong's face.
Kong Tattoo pointed one by one and said: "This is the end of the eye, and this point is connected to the temple. A person's facial features are where the essence of the human body is. Tattoos should not damage the face, and should not overwhelm the guest. The best thing is to complement each other."
Tang Shiyue was quite satisfied and glanced at Ren Dong, who quickly nodded.
Kong Tattoo put the paper away and said: "Forty taels of inheritance."
Ren Dong was startled and rushed to see her.
Tang Shiyue also raised her eyebrows.
What kind of era is this! A tattoo on your face is worth much more than a person!
Tang Shiyue said: "How do I know if you can tattoo as well as you can draw?"
Fortunately, Kong Tattoo didn't have a bad temper when he was questioned. He just said: "If the tattoo is not good, it doesn't cost money."
"Okay," Tang Shiyue handed over the money and said, "Let's stab him!"
This work would take several hours, so Tang Shiyue did not wait with him, leaving the mule cart with Ren Dong, and then walked around the town.
As soon as the seasons change, women want to buy clothes, but these days, clothes are just a matter of how many layers to wear, and there are no new styles.
Tang Shiyue suddenly remembered and asked Han Yi: "Boss Han, do you know where to sell wool?"
"Don't call me Boss Han, I can't afford it." Han Yi scratched his head: "Why are you buying wool? Do you want to buy sheepskin?"
Tang Shiyue said: "I don't want to buy sheepskin. Please help me find out if there is such clean wool. How many kilograms can I collect for it?"
Han Yi said: "It's just such a thin layer of hair, how many pounds does it cost?"
Yes, she remembered, the sheep here are all goats, they can only be found on the sheep grassland, and goats that can grow cashmere can only be found on the grassland.
Woolen clothes were not available in the Yan Dynasty and had never been heard of.
But it is said that in history, there were cashmere clothes in the Ming Dynasty. They were only produced in Lanzhou and were called "velvet brown".
The poem was made to ridicule and it became an allusion.
However, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time. At this time, you can collect some wool first and try to make some wool products. Then when the weather gets cold, you can then consider the issue of cashmere.
Because only when winter comes and the weather gets cold will the goats grow dense cashmere on their flesh.
This layer of cashmere is hidden within the originally thick and long outer hair, forming two lines of defense to withstand the severe cold on the plateau.
When the weather gradually warms up in early summer, use an iron comb to comb off this layer of cashmere before it naturally falls off. Each goat can comb about three taels of cashmere. In other words, ten goats are enough for one piece.
Clothes can definitely only be regarded as luxuries.
Tang Shiyue was stunned for a long time.
Han Yi touched her: "What's wrong, A-Yue? What are you thinking about?"
Tang Shiyue composed himself: "I want to find a few people to help me make a trip to Lanzhou."
"Lanzhou?" Han Yi asked in surprise: "Why are you going to Lanzhou?"
In fact, Lanzhou is not that far from Qinzhou. It takes only five or six days to travel 700 to 800 miles.
"Doing business." Tang Shiyue said deeply: "I want to find a few people I trust, go there to collect some wool, and establish a good relationship with them to see if I can establish a stable trade route."
While talking, she remembered that Han Yi had said before that he also ran with the trading company, and glanced at him: "Are you interested?"
"Huh?" Han Yi said, "I've grown up so big, but I haven't left Qinzhou yet."
Tang Shiyue secretly provoked him: "Ayi, do you know why you are poor and I am rich?"
Boss Han asked casually: "Why?"
"Because I know how to use money to make money, but you don't even dare to ask for money when it's given to you!" She looked at him with disdain: "So, continue to be your gangster leader! I'll go find a trading house and ask! I don't count on you.
Got it!"
"Hey! Hey! Stop!" Han Yi knocked on the car wall: "Sister-in-law, please stop irritating me, okay? Tell me what you want to do!"
"I've made it very clear, but you still haven't understood?" Tang Shiyue said: "I'll give you money, and you can find a few trustworthy people to go to Lanzhou to work for me and collect wool! Do you understand?
?”
Han Yi said: "What are you doing collecting wool?"
"What do you care what I do!" Tang Shiyue said: "This is my problem, you just say whether you dare to do it or not!"
Han Yi pointed at her speechlessly, and then waved his hand: "I've already said that this is the job, how can I say I don't dare? If you dare to believe me, I dare to take it!"
"Sure." Tang Shiyue laughed: "Didn't you do the fur business before? Didn't you deal with these people? Now I tell you, I want wool, and I want it all the time. You think about it?
Come out with a charter."
Han Yi stared at her for a long time, "Just go directly. What else do you want to do about the regulations? Are you kidding me?"
"Otherwise?" She said with a smile: "Do you think it is so easy to get money from me? Do you think I am someone who just takes out money casually?"
Han Yi said speechlessly: "Why do I feel like I'm on a pirate ship?"
"It's not a pirate ship, it's a fairy ship," Tang Shiyue said to him: "Get on my ship, and I will help you make a fortune, and at the same time, you can clear your name and start a new life."
She patted his shoulder with her soft little hand: "Ayi, everything is difficult at the beginning. If you are determined to go down this road, I will give you something to worry about!"
Han Yi: "..."
This little lady's words are really irritating sometimes, and her tone is quite loud!
But I don’t know why, but it makes me extraordinarily convinced... I even get excited about the prospect she describes, and I yearn for it! (To be continued)
