Chapter 86 Custom Heels

Chapter 86 Custom Heels

The intrigue that took place at night in the southern suburbs of the capital has gradually faded with the rising sun; Li Yuntang, who was walking on the streets of the outer city, looked at the gorgeous morning glow in the sky, and he couldn't help but feel good.

Yesterday, he waited all night in the South Yamen of the police station, and finally at dawn, he got the news that came back after going through several hands - the negotiation on calming down the intention and unifying the purchase price of the treasure banknotes, under his own layout, was thoroughly negotiated. collapsed!
According to reports from the spies, the meeting was extremely chaotic at one point, fueled by those who wanted to disrupt the situation. Fortunately, a peacemaker intervened and the merchants did not cause any more trouble.

Li Yuntang reckoned that now he just needs to control the price of Baochao and increase it for a few more days to raise the price as high as possible within a reasonable range; then he will ask Andrew to announce a new high purchase price in advance and explain that it will be the last purchase of Baochao .

On the night before the last purchase, Li Yuntang will suddenly sell a large amount of precious banknotes, causing the market for precious banknotes to go completely crazy, and he will make a lot of money in this last madness!

Every time he thought of this, Li Yuntang, who boasted that his concentration was fair, would show a little excitement on his face.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and felt the freshness in the air in the capital that had not been polluted by industrialization; after a few breaths, he opened his eyes, and was about to return to the Nanya Yamen to discuss the next step , but his eyes inadvertently glanced at a shop.

"Taixi shoe store?"

Li Yuntang stared at the new plaque made of fine nanmu, read the name of the store gently, and wondered at the same time, what kind of shoes does this Taixi shoe store sell?
Thinking it was still early, driven by curiosity, Li Yuntang walked a few steps in the direction of the shoe store, but when he reached the door of the store, he couldn't see the waiter coming out to greet customers, so he went straight into the shoe store.

What catches the eye is the scattered shoes on the shelves; these shoes seem to be made of lambskin or satin, decorated with gemstones and embroidery in different styles, and some are embedded with steel shoes buckle.

But what best reflects the characteristics of this store is the heel that exists under the heel of every pair of shoes on the shelf; the size of the heel is about the same as the cork of a thermos bottle in later generations, and it looks thick and thick, with no aesthetic feeling at all.

It turns out that this Taixi shoe store sells high heels!
Li Yuntang suddenly realized, and immediately lost interest, turned his head and was about to go out of the store; the clerk in the store was packing something with his back on his back, when he looked back accidentally, he found that the customer had left early, and hurriedly shouted to stay:
"My lord, please stay!"

At the same time as this shout, the man was also looking at Li Yuntang's back.

He saw that the person's hair was neatly bundled up, the net bag covering the hair was made of silk, and the clothes on his body were clean and decent without a trace of dust; and the two hands behind his back were even more clean. Not a single cocoon.

These conditions are enough for this guy to conclude that the customers who come here have the financial resources to buy shoes in the store; so he immediately stopped what he was doing, took three steps in parallel, and ran to Li Yuntang to introduce:
"My lord, come to our store, do you want to buy a pair of Taixi shoes with heels? There are all kinds of shoes in the store, and there is always one that will satisfy you."

Before Li Yuntang refused, the guy started selling again:
"My lord, these heeled shoes are very popular among Thai and Western nobles, and there are three main advantages:
One is that it can stand against the stirrup when riding a horse, making it more stable;
The second is to travel to dirty and muddy places, which is easier to enter and exit;
The third is..."

The third point was not mentioned by the clerk, because Li Yuntang didn't look like he was old enough to wear his hair, and his height was already far higher than that of his peers. This function of increasing height was obviously unnecessary.

Li Yuntang laughed dryly, thinking that I would not be able to use the other two functions, and was about to rebuff, when he suddenly thought that although it is not common for women to wear high heels, it doesn't mean that he can't customize a pair of women's shoes.

Now that the emperor's wedding is approaching, if he can really make the stiletto heels of later generations; then in the bridal chamber, he will put them on for the queen himself.

Thinking of this, his mind became more and more lively. After thinking for a while, he asked the guy, "I don't like the things in your store very much. I wonder if you can meet my request? Customize a pair?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the small shop can naturally be customized. My shopkeeper has traveled in France for more than ten years, and he knows the craftsmanship of Taixi shoemaking by heart."

Seeing that the customer had the desire to buy, the guy touted it even harder, and finally he swore:
"Sir, just ask. There is nothing our shop can't do!"

I went to learn how to make shoes after traveling for more than ten years, and I don’t know what your shopkeeper is like...

After complaining a few words in his heart, Li Yuntang asked for a piece of paper and a charcoal pen, and while drawing a sketch, he expressed the needs in his heart:
"Remember, my request is not simple at all:
First, I require the shoes to be made of sheepskin or cowhide, and silk cloth is not allowed;
Second, the toe of the shoe must be pointed, the more pointed the better;
The third thing, I want you to mix a kind of 'lacquer' with linseed oil on the surface of the leather shoes after you finish making the shoes.

The fourth point is that the bottom of this shoe must be rendered with a whole piece of bright red, and no other variegated colors are allowed! "

Li Yuntang said while the guy memorized, and at the fourth point, he finally couldn't help asking: "Master, your request is really unheard of, unseen, especially this red background..."

"Just remember yours!"

Li Yuntang said lightly, and choked the guy back; while in his heart, he silently added:
Oh, what do you know?
This is called the red bottom facing the sky, with boundless magic power!
Seeing that the guy calmed down, Li Yuntang continued to make demands:
"The fifth point, I don't need to wrap the upper on the instep with leather, but wrap it around with a finger-thick leather strap."

Originally, Li Yuntang wanted to restore the Valentino with rivets, but considering that the small rivets were really difficult to cast, he had to settle for the next best thing and design a patent leather high-heeled shoe with a pointed toe strap.

While talking, Li Yuntang drew the outline of the shoe on the paper and handed it to the guy; the guy frowned when he saw it:
"My lord, is the heel of your shoe too thin, and the height is a full three inches; if the heel is too thin, the shoe may break if you step on it."

"The heel is so thin, if you make it thicker than a human finger, then I don't want the shoes!"

Li Yuntang stopped the guy right away, and he didn't plan to let people wear it around, and he didn't need to consider its stability.

Who said that shoes must be used to step on the ground?

It's used to increase attack speed, isn't it good?
