18: Tailor Yang Shishi

After a period of intimacy, the waiter also called for a tailor and delivered the food.

The tailor who arrived was a beautiful woman in her thirties, still full of charm.

She wore a form-fitting robe. When she saw the young and handsome Jiang Chen, she was secretly surprised. This was one of the top three inns in Dongfeng Town, and this suite was rumored to cost a lot of money per day. Seeing Jiang Chen's demeanor, he must be a Young Master from some wealthy family, so she had to serve him well.

"Greetings, Young Master. This humble one is Yang Shishi, the chief tailor of Huayi Workshop."

Yang Shishi came before Jiang Chen and bowed slightly.

"Mm, thank you for your trouble."

Soon, Yang Shishi finished taking Cheng Yurou's measurements, and even Yang Shishi herself gasped in her heart.

How could there be such a perfect body proportion?

Although Cheng Yurou's figure was not very tall, her waist-to-hip ratio and upper body proportions were the most perfect she had ever seen in her tailoring career.

"Young lady, your figure has the most perfect proportions I have ever seen."

Yang Shishi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Tailor Yang, you flatter me..."

Cheng Yurou's cheeks flushed. In reality, her figure wasn't this exaggerated before, but with Jiang Chen's nourishment during this period, Cheng Yurou also found her figure getting better and better, and even her skin became more elastic.

"Measure me too," Jiang Chen said.

Yang Shishi turned and stepped forward. Jiang Chen was only wearing a pair of shorts. As Yang Shishi measured Jiang Chen, she felt his Qi, and her eyes flickered, a hint of allure on her face.

"Young Master must be a martial artist. These muscles are as hard as rock, truly rare in this world."

Yang Shishi's beautiful eyes were flirtatious, and her slender fingers traced Jiang Chen's chest.

"Something like that," Jiang Chen chuckled.

This Yang Shishi was indeed a captivating woman.

However, with Cheng Yurou still there, Jiang Chen wouldn't act recklessly.

In other circumstances, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind a fleeting romance.

"Young Master, your measurements are also complete."

"What kind of style would you like?"

Jiang Chen didn't understand these things.

"You decide. For me, use fabric suitable for activity, and make five sets first."

"For her, use the best fabric and the best craftsmanship. Make five sets first to see. Money is not an issue."

Jiang Chen directly gave Yang Shishi a gold ingot.

This ingot weighed one tael.

One tael of gold was equivalent to one hundred taels of silver.

Yang Shishi had been a tailor for so long, but she had never seen such a generous customer.

He didn't even ask for the specific price.

He just ordered ten sets directly.

Yang Shishi quickly took the gold, and the look in her eyes towards Jiang Chen became even more dazed.

"Young Master, please rest assured, the fabrics of our Huayi Workshop are the finest within a five-hundred-li radius of Dongfeng Town."

"I will immediately start working on them when I return."

"I guarantee you will be satisfied with the results."

"Good, thank you for your trouble, Tailor Yang."

Afterward, Yang Shishi, swaying her hips, left the room with her tools.

"Xiao Chen, isn't that too much?"

"Hmm? Rou'er thinks there's too much fabric for the clothes? Then I'll tell Tailor Yang to make some clothes with very little fabric."

Jiang Chen's gaze flickered. Cheng Yurou heard the teasing in Jiang Chen's words and immediately waved her small pink fists, pretending to hit him.

Jiang Chen quickly caught Cheng Yurou's incoming small pink fists.

"You... you're bullying me."

"Haha, I won't tease you anymore. Eat your fill and rest for a bit. I'm going to the yamen to collect our reward."

Jiang Chen said.

After dinner, Cheng Yurou rested in the room.

Jiang Chen, carrying the bounty order signed by Nie Wenlong, walked towards the yamen.

In front of the yamen, two guards stood dressed in red and white uniforms with black sashes.

Judging from their auras, both were at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm.

However, Jiang Chen's Body Tempering Realm was not the same as their martial Cultivator's Body Tempering Realm.

Jiang Chen's Body Tempering Realm was the tempering of the pure Physical Body.

The Body Tempering Realm Cultivated by martial Cultivators, on the other hand, was achieved by condensing a wisp of spiritual energy and then using that spiritual energy to temper their Physical Body. Often, they only needed to temper their skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, while their internal organs were only slightly stronger than an ordinary person's.

To truly exert the strength of the Body Tempering Realm, they even needed to circulate that wisp of spiritual energy.

But Jiang Chen didn't need such trouble; even his internal organs were enhanced by the same multiple.

He could truly stand still and let those in the Body Tempering Realm hack at him with knives, and they wouldn't be able to injure him.

Clearly, in a world where martial Dao was revered, even being a guard in front of the yamen required corresponding strength.

"Sirs, I'm here to collect a reward."

Jiang Chen cupped his hands to the two, then handed over the bounty order he brought, along with two taels of Small change (broken silver) tucked inside.

The guard's originally disdainful and scrutinizing gaze immediately became amiable.

"Let me see... Oh, so you're the one who killed that tiger demon? Excellent, excellent, young and promising... Go in, walk straight, turn left at the second door to the end, and when you see the sign that says 'Verification,' just hand him the bounty order."

"Thank you, sirs."

Jiang Chen said, cupping his hands.

So young yet so sensible, he would surely achieve great things in the future.

Following the direction given by the guard at the entrance, Jiang Chen arrived in front of the Verification Hall.

This Verification Hall was specifically for verifying and processing completed bounty orders.

Since the tiger's head had been sent in advance, Jiang Chen's bounty order only needed to be signed by a constable in the yamen. Of course, the signatory had to submit the completed task to the Verification Hall beforehand.

"Your bounty order is in order."

"The reward is five hundred catties of white rice, plus a town household registration."

"This is your household transfer permit. Take this permit to the Household Hall in the yamen to register. The processing fee is five hundred wen. Additionally, by law, two-tenths of your five hundred catties of rice will be taxed, so you'll receive four hundred catties. If there are no problems, sign here, then take this ticket to the Dongfeng Rice Shop to redeem your rice."

At a long table in the Verification Hall, a plump middle-aged man spoke. Although his attitude wasn't great, he explained everything very clearly without any perfunctoriness.

As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea.

Jiang Chen hadn't expected that even bounty rewards would be taxed, but it didn't matter; he wasn't particularly concerned about the white rice.

What he cared about was the qualification for a town household registration.

Because in the Great Lan Dynasty, without an identity household registration, one could not move around freely.

Otherwise, they would be arrested as vagrants.

Merchants, on the other hand, required a business license.

So, it was impossible to simply wander the world with a sword, similar to what is described in novels.

With a town household registration, Jiang Chen could move within the area subordinate to Dongfeng Town and also travel to the county seat above Dongfeng Town, but he couldn't leave the county's boundaries.

If he could obtain a county household registration, he could then travel to the superior prefectural city.

Of course, there was also a special case: joining a government organization like the Black Yamen. With this official attire, one could naturally travel unimpeded.

"No problem."

Jiang Chen signed his name, received a grain ticket, and a household transfer permit.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to leave, he noticed several rows of bounty orders still hanging on the wall.

"Oh? Black Tiger Gang leader?"

When Jiang Chen saw one of the bounty orders, he immediately stopped in his tracks.
