Tang Shiyue propped up her chin and said, "A Jing, what do you think about getting a tattoo for the birthmark on Ren Dong's face?"
Qi Jing was stunned and turned to take a look.
Tang Shiyue said: "Although I really don't think it's a big deal, there are indeed many people in this world who judge people by appearance. Since there is no way to cure it and Ren Dong doesn't mind, why don't we just tattoo a pattern openly? It will be majestic and beautiful when it's done. Let's see who dares to complain!"
Qi Jing hesitated for a moment and asked Ren Dong: "What do you think?"
Ren Dong was somewhat delighted and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, young lady."
His birthmark is just pigmentation, not a hemangioma, so there is no need to worry about any danger.
Tang Shiyue did what she said and took Ren Dong to the town the next day.
She was asking the little beggar about a good tattoo artist when Han Yi came over by himself.
Ever since Mrs. Ye went to the Tang family, Han Yi has been extremely attentive to her. When he heard that she was looking for a good tattoo artist, he personally drove her there, boasting, "I'm not saying this, Kong Tattoo is the best in not only our town, but also in the county!"
People these days like to address others by their trades. This tattoo artist is a foreigner. His last name is Kong and his given name is Dan. He is a very thin middle-aged man.
...
...
Tang Shiyue stated his request, he looked at the birthmark carefully, and began to outline it on paper.
Tang Shiyue waited somewhat boredly, chatting with Han Yi in a random manner. After waiting for more than half an hour, Kong Ciqing finally showed her the finished painting.
Tang Shiyue was a little surprised when she saw it.
What he painted seemed to be a beast, in the posture of a tiger descending a mountain, with nine tails spread out, looking very majestic.
Kong Ciqing said: "This is Luwu. Luwu has a tiger body with nine tails and a human face with tiger claws. But because you can't tattoo gods on your body, I'm afraid that the blessings are too weak to bear it, so I made a slight change and changed the human face to a tiger body with nine tails."
Luwu is also called Jianwu. The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: "Four hundred miles to the southwest is Kunlun Hill, which is actually the capital of the Emperor. The god Luwu governs it. The god has the body of a tiger with nine tails, a human face and tiger claws. He is a god who governs the nine parts of the sky and the Emperor's hunting grounds."
Tang Shiyue nodded suddenly and pointed at Ren Dong's face.
Kong Ciqing pointed at them one by one and said, "This is the end of the eye, and this one is connected to the temples. The five senses of a person are the essence of the body. Tattoos should not destroy the face, nor should they dominate the main feature. It is best to complement each other."
Tang Shiyue was quite satisfied. She glanced at Ren Dong, and Ren Dong quickly nodded.
Kong Ciqing took the paper and said, "Thank you for the favor, forty taels."
Ren Dong was surprised and rushed to see her.
Tang Shiyue also raised her eyebrows.
What kind of era is this? Tattoos on the face are worth more than people!
Tang Shiyue asked: "How do I know if you can tattoo as well as you can draw?"
Fortunately, Kong Zhiqing did not lose his temper when questioned, and just said, "If the tattoo is not good, no money."
"Okay," Tang Shiyue handed over the silver and said, "Go ahead!"
This job would take several hours, so Tang Shiyue didn't wait with him. She left the mule cart to Ren Dong and then strolled around the town.
When 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 buy wool?"
"Don't call me Boss Han. I don't deserve it." Han Yi scratched his head: "Why are you buying wool? Are you buying sheepskin?"
Tang Shiyue said, "I don't want to buy sheepskin. Please ask around for me and find out if there is any clean wool. Please buy me a few kilograms."
Han Yi asked, "It's just a thin layer of hair, how many pounds do you want to collect?"
Yes, she remembered, the sheep here are all goats, which are only found on sheep grasslands, and goats that can grow cashmere are also only found on grasslands.
There were no woolen clothes in the Dayan Dynasty, and I had never heard of them.
But it is said that in history, cashmere clothes have existed since the Ming Dynasty. They were only produced in Lanzhou and were called "cashmere brown". They were tribute and were all the rage for a time. There was even an ink merchant who followed the trend and wore cashmere brown in April. He was ridiculed in a poem and the garment became an allusion.
However, you have to eat one bite at a time. At this time, you can collect some wool and try to make some wool products. Then, when the weather gets colder, you can consider the issue of cashmere.
Because only when winter comes and the weather gets cold, goats will grow dense cashmere close to their skin.
This layer of cashmere is hidden inside the originally thick and long outer hair, forming two lines of defense to resist the extreme cold on the plateau.
In early summer, when the weather gradually warms up, the cashmere is combed off with an iron comb before it falls off naturally. Each goat can produce about 300 grams of cashmere. In other words, it takes ten goats to make one piece of clothing, which can only be regarded as a luxury.
Tang Shiyue was stunned for a long time.
Han Yi touched her: "What's wrong, Yue? What are you thinking about?"
Tang Shiyue calmed down and said, "I want to find a few people to help me go to Lanzhou."
"Lanzhou?" Han Yi asked in surprise, "Why are you going to Lanzhou?"
In fact, Lanzhou is not far from Qinzhou, only about seven or eight hundred miles away, and it only takes five or six days to get there.
"Doing business." Tang Shiyue said solemnly, "I want to find a few people I can trust, collect some wool from them, and build a good relationship with them to see if I can create a stable trade route."
As she spoke, she remembered that Han Yi had said before that he had also run with the business, so she glanced at him and said, "Are you interested?"
"Hmm?" Han Yi said, "I have never been out of Qinzhou since I was a child."
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 make money with money, but you don't even dare to take the money when it's handed to you!" She looked at him with contempt: "So, continue to be the leader of the gang! I'll go find a business to ask! I don't count on you anymore!"
"Hey! Hey! Stop!" Han Yi knocked on the car wall: "Little girl, stop provoking me, okay? Tell me what you want to do!"
"I've made it very clear, but you still don't understand?" Tang Shiyue said, "I'll give you money, and you find a few trustworthy people to go to Lanzhou and do things for me and collect the wool! Do you understand?"
Han Yi asked, "Why are you collecting wool?"
"Why do you care what I do?" Tang Shiyue said: "This is my problem, you just tell me, do you dare to do it?"
Han Yi pointed at her speechlessly, then threw his hands away: "Now that I've said this, how can I say I don't dare? If you dare to trust me, I dare to accept it!"
"Okay." Tang Shiyue smiled: "Didn't you do 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 come up with a plan for me."
Han Yi glared at her for a long time. "Just go directly. Why are you thinking about the rules? Are you kidding me?"
"What else?" She said with a smile: "Do you think it's so easy to take money from me? Do you think I'm someone who will just give money away 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, I will help you get rich, and clean up 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 path, please think carefully for me!"
Han Yi: “…”
The way this young lady speaks is really irritating sometimes, and her tone is quite loud!
But for some reason, it makes people particularly convinced...even, they feel excited and yearn for the prospects she describes!
