wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 161 26. Soliciting Business
Li Hu rushed forward: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"The leg hurts, and it's biting cold." Tongbat covered his left leg.

Li Hu changed his face: "My cloak can't cover your calves tightly. If this continues, your legs will be frostbitten."

Tian Erya took off the sheepskin jacket, jumped off the horse, and wrapped the sheepskin jacket tightly around Tongbat's lap: "My lord, do you feel better now?"

"It's much better." Tongbat suddenly felt the coldness subside, and his legs were no longer so stiff.He still thought about returning the sheepskin jacket: "It's too cold, you should wear more."

"I'm wearing a padded jacket! It's not cold." Tian Erya shrugged her shoulders and got on the horse again.

They braved the wind and snow to move forward.The wind was blowing, the sky was full of snow, and the front could not be seen.Just when they were afraid of getting lost and didn't know what to do, Li Hu saw the yurt: "My lord, there is a yurt ahead, let's go in and hide?"

"Okay." Tongbat felt that he was being taken care of, and he seemed like a waste, and wanted to stop and settle down for a while.

They walked into the yurt and found that there were already two men squatting on the ground cutting their leather boots with daggers.

"Master Tong?" A man with a mustache saw Tong Bat and hurriedly stood up from the brazier.

"Third shopkeeper?" Tongbat was surprised, "Why are you here?"

"My boy and I went to Xilin Gol to deliver tea. When we came back, we delayed a little before we came here."

Tongbat pointed to him and introduced to everyone: "This is Da Shengkui's third shopkeeper. They deliver goods to various tribes in the grassland, and their business is very big."

The third shopkeeper said modestly, "You are too much for the prize. My lords, we have just made some tea here, please have a cup to warm your body."

Tong Bat asked Tian Erya to approach the warm basin, handed her a cup of hot tea, and then picked up the milk tea and began to drink it.

Tian Erya felt cold all over, and after drinking a cup of warm milk tea, she immediately felt much warmer.

The third treasurer found it very strange, this royal family and nobleman usually has very high eyes, how can he take care of a man who looks very ordinary?He is a smart man, even if he feels strange in his heart, he doesn't show it on his face, but asks with a concerned face: "What's wrong with your lord's leg?"

Tongbat took off the sheepskin jacket on his legs, and gave it back to Tian Erya: "It's freezing on the road, hello, my little brother, take off the sheepskin jacket on him and give it to me."

"My lord's legs got cold in this wind and snow? How do you feel now?"

"The left leg is very cold and stiff. It may be related to the sprained ankle and the lack of blood circulation."

The third shopkeeper took out a bottle of medicated oil from his carry-on luggage: "This medicine of mine can relieve blood stasis, dredge the meridians, and is helpful for adults with sprained feet. It's just that your left leg needs a doctor's special treatment to remove the cold air." , otherwise, the root cause of the disease will be left in the future, and I will suffer from pain every winter."

Tong Bat was helpless: "There are no doctors and herbs here, so we can only make do with it, let's talk about it later!"

Tian Erya slapped her forehead: "My lord, I saw someone using fire therapy to treat old cold legs on the road. You should also try it."

"There are no tools and doctors here, how can we try?" Tongbat felt that he was imagining.

"I'll help you!" Tian Erya was eager to try.

Tong Bat lowered his voice: "You are a woman, you can't get along with a man and a woman, so don't mess around."

"We don't have skin-to-flesh contact. I saw fire therapy, which is to put a clean towel on the legs, then use another towel to spray wine, and wait for the fire to ignite. I did it with my father before. pass!"

The third shopkeeper nodded again and again: "That's right, I also heard people say that fire therapy is good for people's health. I have wine and towels here, you can try it."

Tong Bat hesitated.

"Since that's the case, hurry up and let everyone get started, so that you don't suffer from the root cause of the disease in the future." Li Hu urged Tian Erya to start doing fire therapy.

The third shopkeeper prepared things, Tian Erya recalled the scene of fire therapy, followed the gourd drawing, spread a layer of dry towel on Tongbat's leg, and then covered it with a wet towel, added some wine, took Candles are lit.

Flames flickered on the towel.

Tongbat felt the heat pouring into his clammy and icy legs, the cold seemed to spread out from the pores, and he felt comfortable all over. He not only leaned on the chair, closed his eyes, but soon snored.

"My lord is exhausted today." Seeing his peaceful expression, Li Hu knew that fire therapy was the right choice.He couldn't help suggesting: "Do it a few more times, so we adults won't suffer from the root cause of the disease?"

"It should be!" Tian Erya watched the flame dance, and the range became smaller and smaller. She put the wet towel into the water, sprayed the biscuit with alcohol again, and lit the flame.

"Please do it a few more times for my lord. My lord's body must not be damaged." Li Hu finished his instructions, looked at the third shopkeeper and the buddy: "What are you doing?"

"Retouch the moccasin boots. The cuff is too high and uncomfortable to wear. I'll just cut off a part of it and sew it up again."

"Does the third treasurer still have this technology?"

"I used to be in the fur business, and I knew some sewing skills, but cutting was too troublesome."

Tian Erya watched him cut the deerskin with the dagger, heard this, took out the scissors and handed them over: "You can try with my scissors."

The third shopkeeper glanced at her: "My lord, my leather is very strong, and the scissors on the market are rarely able to cut it."

"You can try it, if it doesn't work, you don't need it."

The third shopkeeper thought about it, and took the scissors to cut the top of the boot.After clicking twice, I actually cut off the hard-to-cut buckskin edge just now. I was very surprised: "Your scissors are not bad, where did you buy them?"

Tian Erya replied: "I forged it myself."

"You are wonderful. What is your name?"

Tian Erya looked at Li Hu and asked softly, "What does he mean?"

Li Hu laughed: "The shopkeeper asked you, which store do you work for?"

"Oh. My family runs Tian Ji Sword Shop in Dongtai County, Jiangning Prefecture."

The third shopkeeper touched his beard: "I remember that there are sword shops such as Longshunhe and Yaojian in Jiangnan, but I have never heard of Tianji sword shop. However, the shape and sharpness of your forged scissors are the same as the scissors produced by Longshunhe .Do you have any relationship with Long Shunhe?"

Tian Erya had an idea, wanted to attract business, and prepared to sell scissors in the future, so she bit the bullet and said, "My husband is Long Shunhe's Fourth Young Master."

"Zheng Yuansheng, the fourth young master of the Zheng family? I heard that he was dispatched to Ninggu Pagoda because of the scientific examination fraud case. The marriage fell through, and a woman sent him to the city gate to marry in public. Could it be that woman is you?"

"Yes." Tian Erya took off her hat, revealing the black hair on top of her head.

The third shopkeeper was amazed, but kept silent about the business.

Tian Erya couldn't help but said: "Third shopkeeper, could it be that you have done business with Long Shunhe before?"

"No. We haven't sold scissors on the grassland before, because the sticky cloth on the grassland is thick, and ordinary scissors can't cut it, and if it comes in, it can't be sold."
