Volume 1 The Rain of Jianyi Chapter 80 Red Celebration
The Sunyard is the noisiest market in Yi'an County, here, if you are lucky, you can buy a variety of special treasures from Yi'an County and even Huainan Province, of course, if your luck and eyesight are not very good, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Because this is a utility shop, and at the same time it is a black market.
All shady business happens here, and if you have enough money, even if it costs a few ordinary lives, that's fine. Here, miracle treasures, all kinds of weapons, secret maps, and news from all sides can all be measured in money.
In the middle of the utility shop, is the most famous Hongqing restaurant in Yi'an County, where it is small enough to be used in the household utensils, and as large as the soldiers in the army, it is still the same sentence: everything can be negotiated with a price.
Ah Xiao and Su Jie walked to the door of Hongqingshi, Ah Xiao did not find Su Jie's mother, but Ah Xiao thought that he still had to buy something to prepare for tomorrow's assessment, and under the recommendation of Shan Liu, the two of them came here.
Su Jie was taking out a token, which surprised Mr. Hongqing's sitting hall, and hurriedly sent a servant to follow Su Jie, after all, the token of the county guard mansion is still very easy to use, and Ah Xiaopo looked inside curiously, he had never been to this kind of place.
As soon as he entered, the servant introduced: "Our Hongqing Shop is the largest shop in Yi'an County, in our place, there is nothing we can't sell, only what you can't imagine, hey-not our guarantee, if we don't have anything to sell in Hongqing, then there is no other place in Yi'an County!"
Ah Xiao thought this servant was quite interesting, so he quipped, "Listening to the accent, it seems that you are still a Zhongzhou person?"
"There's everything. The servant scratched his head embarrassedly and grinned, "It's just a funny thing, it's just that the guests who have learned to tease me are happy, and you don't make fun of me, childe." ”
Su Jie was very interested in the things in this building, touched a large porcelain jar on the left, and ran to the right to pick up a paper fan, pretending to be a literati, but Ah Xiao was not bad with it, but with Su Jie's strong figure, it looked very different.
In the backyard, Mr. Zatang walked into the study, bowed to the shopkeeper sitting on the Taishi's chair, and said: "The shopkeeper, two sons just came, the token is from the county guard's mansion, one looks like a little white face, but it looks beautiful, and the other looks like it came out of the military department, do you want to take a look?"
The shopkeeper was wearing a gray robe, looking like he was forty years old, the cheongsam was already very loose, but its owner was even more obese, the fat shopkeeper's hair was combed clean, and his round face gave people an amiable appearance.
But Mr. Zatang knows very well that this shopkeeper is powerful, he can be the boss in the black market, and he has a relationship with the government, and the life of this shopkeeper will never be less, at least he has seen the shopkeeper do it, it is too ruthless.
"You deal with it first, there are more people in the county guard's mansion, do you want me to answer it?" Qin Yue put his finger on the tea cup and knocked it slightly, and the gentleman knew that the shopkeeper was not happy, and immediately began to retire.
On the first floor of Hongqingshi, Su Jie was still wandering around curiously, and he had forgotten the original intention of coming here.
Ah Xiao couldn't help coughing a few times and reminded, "Su Jie, we're here to do business." ”
"Aha, yes, we still have to buy something. Su Jie embarrassedly put back a copper lamp in his hand.
The servant was still polite, "Then what do you two want to buy?" Let's Hongqing, the first floor is miscellaneous goods, and the second floor is some special things, since the two sons are from the county guard's mansion, then I can take the two of them to the second floor." ”
"Then go straight up to the second floor. Ah Xiao said, he didn't want to waste too much time.
Su Jie naturally nodded.
On the second floor, there were obviously a lot fewer people here, but there were about a dozen people, Ah Xiao carefully looked at the goods on the second floor, and found that most of them were swords and armor.
"No wonder there are so few people. Ah Xiao sighed with emotion, openly daring to buy and sell swords here in the county town, this Hongqing shop boss is really powerful.
However, both of them already have weapons, and now they need some extras for trials, such as armor, and arrows and crossbows.
Ah Xiao picked up a sword on the shelf, and found that it was much lighter than his own ancient sword, so he naturally shook his head, the things here seem to be some ordinary products, Su Jie also played with a few machetes, and also pouted: "What a broken sword, it's not as good as half of mine." ”
Ah Xiao touched a pair of armor again, and he knew intuitively that if it was the kind of horizontal knife of the Wuwei Army, this kind of ordinary armor would not have any protective effect at all.
Su Jie's voice was not deliberately lowered, the servant naturally heard his dissatisfaction, considering Su Jie's identity as a junior of a certain adult in the county guard's mansion, he could only smile bitterly: "Two sons, the weapons at this level are actually reasonable, generally we will sell weapons at this level, I see that the two of you have good weapons in your hands, I can only say that your two eyes are too tricky, naturally you don't look down on them." ”
"Is there anything else good about that?" asked Axiao.
Tomorrow in Geshan, anything can happen, and in terms of protective gear, Ah Xiao has to choose some good things as much as possible.
"Uh......" The servant was a little difficult to speak.
"What are you hesitating about, is it possible that I won't give you money?" Su Jie glared.
"No, no, no, no!" The servant's face was ugly, "Childe is angry, this matter is just hard to say, because I don't have the authority to take the two sons to the third layer, if the two sons really want to go to the third layer, please allow me to go to the shopkeeper to report." ”
"Go and come back!" Su Jie waved his hand.
The servant went to report, naturally it would take some time, Ah Xiao stared at Su Jie, and said: "Su Jie, it stands to reason that it is really easy for you to ask for armor, your grandfather is a county guard, as long as he sends a word, you can go directly to the battle, maybe you will be taken care of tomorrow, why, why are you still pulling me to this Hongqing restaurant to buy things?"
Su Jie laughed, "Ah Xiao, you don't know this, actually, I just want to come here to the fourth floor to have a look." ”
"The fourth layer, isn't it the third layer" Ah Xiao was a little puzzled, because from the outside world, this Hongqing restaurant only had three floors.
"Let me tell you, I heard that above the third floor, there is a fourth floor, and this fourth floor is a small pavilion with a lot of good things in it, and there are even treasures for cultivators to sell. But you don't need it, you've definitely seen a lot of this kind of cultivator's treasure, but I've wanted to see it for a long time. ”
"Also, I took out this token from my grandmother, otherwise, do you think we can enter the fourth floor here?
Ah Xiao nodded, he also wanted to see what else could be sold here.
The servant took Ah Xiao and the others to the door on the third floor: "Go in by yourself, the shopkeeper said that you can go in and talk to the sitting hall inside." ”
Ah Xiao walked in, compared to the first and second floors, the third floor had a lot less things, only some more delicate weapons, as well as all kinds of armor, and most importantly, there were many medicines here.
Medicine is naturally indispensable, Ah Xiao walked up to a pill called "Xiao Huandan" and shouted, "Sir, what does this pill do?"
Sui Han, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: "It's still young, it's really uninformed, this thing is an upgraded version of the gold sore medicine, with some ...... added I'm going to find out...... By the way, it should be the part of the monster on this pavilion mountain, which can make the wound heal faster, and boast of what a small pill, as soon as the small pill of Chongyang Immortal Palace comes out, the smell is ......"
Listening to Sui Han's contemptuous words, Ah Xiao couldn't help but be speechless, and said, "Have you rested?"
"Naturally, I just heard you say Xiao Huandan, which woke me up directly, but it turned out to be this thing, tsk, white joy. ”
The tables and chairs in front of him shook, and Ah Xiao thought that it should be the one who sat in the hall.
Mr. Zatang got up from the chair, Ah Xiao took a look, and said in surprise: "It's you!"
"It's me. The gentleman sitting on the third floor smiled, and was a little surprised to see A Xiao and the others, and explained: "Although I am a member of the Wuwei Army, I actually have a lot of freedom, I will go to the city gate in the morning to play, help see the field, and come back in the afternoon to sit in the hall." ”
"By the way, is your ancient sword sold? Although it is an imitation, it looks pretty good, and I am willing to pay two thousand taels. ”
Two thousand taels, this is simply a huge amount of money in Jianyi City, and in Su Jie's impression, even Xie Fatzi earns only a few hundred taels of silver a year.
Ah Xiao shook his head and said, "Although it is not sold, can you tell me, how do you think this is an imitation?"
"Absolutely. Mr. Zatang sat up and took the ancient sword handed over by Ah Xiao, and his two ordinary eyes suddenly lit up, and even Ah Xiao would wonder if he would escape with this ancient sword.
It seems that this gentleman is not a good thing, he takes advantage of the convenience of being on duty at the city gate, and can exchange some good things from people who don't know how to do it, and he can really deceive people!
Ah Xiao sighed in his heart.
The ancient sword is naturally not an imitation, but this gentleman said that it was an imitation, which is really strange, to say that he has no idea about this sword, Ah Xiao doesn't believe it at all.
"It's really good at pretending, but it's not good to see. Sui Leng smiled.
"Look here. ”
On the third floor, Mr. Zatang said solemnly, he put the ancient sword flat on a wooden table, and pointed to the polishing marks on it, "The sword of the previous dynasty, the most common is six-sided, but your ancient sword is eight-sided, of course, eight-sided is also in the previous dynasty, but there are not many, and with the technology at that time, the eight-sided sword must be an excellent craftsman, so how can such a good craftsman let the blue quenching marks be retained on the sword body?"
"It's just a doubt. ”
He smiled confidently, "Also, although there are traces of time on the entire sword body, indicating that this sword is old, but in my opinion, it will not be too long, the longest is only hundreds of years, which involves the profession of our meal, so I won't go into details." ”
Ah Xiao had some conjectures in his heart, it turned out that in the secret territory of Yushan, time was actually suspended, which caused the ancient sword to look like it was only a hundred years.
"Also, I don't know what the material of this sword is, but it should be made of excellent metal, otherwise this sword wouldn't be so heavy, maybe it's a weapon for cultivators. ”
"Hehe, the most important point is that I can't read the eight inscriptions on it. ”
Su Jie chuckled, "Isn't it, what you can't understand, it's all fake?"
