The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 13 The tailor arrives

Pang Tiande understood as soon as he heard that Fang Shenzi wanted to stay in Laishui County as an ordinary person. How many lives did Pang Tiande have? How dare he disobey Fang Shenzi?

The night wind blew over, and Pang Tiande felt a little chilly. Only then did he realize that he was already soaked with sweat because he was too nervous.

"Lord Guard..."

It was the two men behind him who were calling him. Apparently they were feeling uneasy because Pang Tiande had discovered that they were eating alone.

"Humph!"

Thinking of this, Pang Tiande was really angry, so he snorted heavily.

The two of them were a little panicked. It was nothing if the guard general had a temper. He was just afraid that someone else would protect the iron pot in the future.

Pang Tiande said with a dark face: "Aren't you going to protect the iron pot? I have already told you to go to the iron pot and return to the iron pot. Where is the iron pot? Did you hide it in your crotch? Take it out and give it to me. have a look?"

They looked at each other in confusion, thinking, Pang Tiande, are you serious or are you just teasing Menzi?Mr. Fang is here, and now he even has Yinshan Mountain. Why would he still covet those two broken pots?
You carry the two pots back and forth like a treasure. Aren't you afraid of making those refugees laugh?

Seeing that the city gate was approaching, the two men became more and more anxious. They quickly asked Pang Tiande to say good things and swore that they would never hide anything from the guard general in the future.

This good life is about to end after only two days. Who else would be willing to do so?
Fortunately, at the end, Pang Tiande finally relaxed: "Bring me a bowl of noodles from now on."

Laishui County.

When Pang Tiande arrived home, his wife Xing had already placed food on the table, and his daughter sat beside him eagerly.

The mother and daughter had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.

"Where have you been? You came back so late, the food is already cold." Xing said dissatisfiedly to Pang Tiande.

Pang Tiande took off his cotton armor, found a clean handkerchief, put it into his clothes to wipe it, and said casually: "I'm going to the refugee camp outside the city. I've eaten there. You can eat by yourself."

Her daughter had been hungry for a long time. Mrs. Xing quickly took a small bowl and gave her some food. She wondered: "Is there anything to eat in the refugee camp? Isn't it black croton?"

Pang Tiande ignored her at all.

However, Mr. …”

"shut up!"

Before Xing could finish speaking, a piece of handkerchief flew over and hit her face.

Ms. "

Seeing that Pang Tiande was really angry, Ms.

Pang Tiande lost his temper so suddenly that his daughter, who was eating, was startled. She even dropped the bowl in her hand and started to cry.

Pang Tiande hugged his daughter and remembered the Axiu he saw in the refugee camp. He seemed to be about the same age as his daughter.

He could see that Fang Yu loved Axiu very much, but she was the only child in the refugee camp, and children needed companions of the same age.

Can you send your daughter there to be Axiu’s companion?The more Pang Tiande thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea.

There will be chaos in the Ming Dynasty.

The bandit's army is fighting more and more, and is getting stronger and stronger. They have already reached the edge of Baoding Prefecture several times, and they may reach Laishui County next year or the year after.

Facing the general trend of the world, he, Pang Tiande, was powerless, but he could still strive for some protection for his family.

Letting your daughter have a good relationship with Axiu is the best guarantee in the world.

Pang Tiande sat there and thought for a while, then put on his clothes and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going? It's night time outside. Can't you wait until tomorrow if you have something to do?" Ms. Xing asked quickly, regardless of her grievance.

Pang Tiande left in a hurry and said, "I can't wait any longer, but I was asked to leave by someone else."

Just after dawn, Liu Xiangjiao, a famous tailor in Laishui County, was walking on the way out of the city carrying a small baggage.

Thinking of where he was going, Liu Scissors felt dumbfounded.Last night, the door panels of the upper bunk had been lowered, and suddenly there was a sound of being photographed. Liu Scissors went over to chat, and then he realized that the person outside was Pang Tiande, the city gate commander.

With no choice, Liu Scissors could only remove the door panel and invite Pang Tiande in. He did not dare to complain and only asked him what happened.

Pang Tiande said that a big employer wanted to hire him to make clothes. He was not the only one to go, but five or six tailor shops in the city were hired.

In addition, he also asked Liu Xiangsheng to bring apprentices, and it would be better to invite the neighborhood women who are good at craftsmanship.

Liu Scissors was stunned when he heard this. If there are so many people, how many clothes will be made?
Shop owners are all well-informed. Liu Xiangjiao thought about it, but he never thought that any big family in Laishui County would need so many clothes.

Only at the end did Pang Tiande tell him where to go - to the refugee camp outside the city.

He also said that the wages there were very high and the food was very good.

He also repeatedly told Liu Scissors: He must go, and he will go tomorrow morning.

Although the city gate order was only a minor official and a military general (the status of military generals in the Ming Dynasty was very low), he was not something ordinary people like Liu Scissors could offend.

So despite his helplessness, Liu Xiangshou came out early in the morning, but he also made a precaution: he didn't bring his apprentice.

While walking on the road, he saw people from several other tailor shops, including those in the east of the city, those in Yiyunlou, and those in Ma Walnut Market.

Among them, Lao Cai, who was familiar with him, even said hello to him, and then looked at each other with a wry smile.

What is this called!
Soon they crossed the moat and saw the refugees standing in twos and threes from a distance, not knowing what they were busy with.

The person who received Liu Scissors and the others was Liu Ji. Liu Ji took them to a newly built shed and then called for others.

What to do?Of course, you need to measure the size. There are no X or XL sets at this time. Even the coolies carrying bags at the dock can wear low-key and luxurious hand-customized versions.

Liu Scissor looked around, and sure enough, there was not even a piece of cloth.

Who said it wasn't a joke if we were asked to measure the size when there was no cloth?

No matter what Liu Scissor and the others thought, the refugee camp immediately became lively like the Chinese New Year, and the entrance to the shed was crowded and messy.

"I'll come first. My clothes are in ruins. I can't even patch them."

"It's better to be bad than bad. I've been naked for so long, and I feel cold even when I walk!"

"You were naked when you left Henan. Now please bear with me and let me do it first..."

While the refugees were arguing, Old Man Zhao and his sophomore and senior high school students rushed over aggressively, holding sticks in their hands.

"Line up! Line up!"

Old Man Zhao roared fiercely, and coupled with the threat of the two brothers' sticks, two long queues finally formed at the door of the shed.

Old man Zhao started counting from the front, and only counted 25 people in one team. Then he stretched out his hand and shouted to the people behind: "People in the front line up, and everyone in the back goes to work."

The refugees at the back were hesitant and no one wanted to leave the group.

"It will take a long time to measure these people in front of me. Are you still waiting for dinner? Damn it! Get out of here!"

Old Man Zhao shouted several times to no avail, and finally got angry. He snatched the stick from the master's hand and prepared to hit him.

There are only a few tailors here, and they don’t have any apprentices yet. They have to take measurements and take notes. It’s good to finish half of the work in one day today.

So a few people can stay here and line up, while others have to go back to build brick kilns and dig earth.

When Zhao Laohu showed his power, the refugees with illusions immediately became like birds and beasts.

At this time, I saw Axiu coming over happily with two short legs, and Liu Ji followed closely behind, for fear that she would fall.

Old Zhao, who had a dark face, immediately changed his expression and smiled like a lucky cat.
