Chapter Eighty-Eight: Buying a Bow
The bow is good, but Gu Pan doesn't understand the market here, and he doesn't know how much it's worth: "How much discount?" ”
The shopkeeper had to stretch out his finger: "Eighty taels, you take it immediately." ”
It doesn't seem to be very expensive, and before Gu Pan could speak, the young man had already spoken: "Master, can you say something about it." ”
Gu Pan listened to him and was overjoyed. How did he forget him, the guards must know a lot about weapons and the like, and the price is naturally understood, so he immediately said: "Just say." ”
The young man said: "This bow is good, but it is only eighty taels, and the lion will open his mouth." Master, it's better to go to another house and take a look. ”
When Gu Pan heard him say this, he nodded and walked out.
The shopkeeper was a little anxious: "The price can be negotiated again." ”
Gu Pan's pace was a little slow, she thought that this young man was deliberately bargaining, but he said softly: "The master borrowed a step to speak." ”
So Gu Pan no longer paid attention to the shopkeeper's retention and went out of the store with the guard.
The young guard asked, "Did you buy this for your master?" ”
It turned out that he mistakenly thought that he bought it for Fang Xiao, Gu Pan shook his head: "No, it was bought for me." ”
A look of surprise crossed the young guard's face, but it quickly flashed. This is not the same as the one that has been strictly trained, and he will not be surprised, he said: "The little one originally thought that you bought it for the master, so I thought this one was not suitable." ”
Gu Pan asked: "Then I use it myself, is it appropriate?" ”
The young guard asked, "Is it for decoration?" ”
Gu Pan smiled: "No, I want to pull it to play." ”
Seeing a flash of surprise on his face, she explained: "Some people like archery, so they want to buy it and play with it." She blinked, and said, "Your master said that he would give me a good one when he came back, but I can't wait and want to make a trick myself, do you have any suggestions?" ”
In this way, I guess he will do his best to help himself choose.
Sure enough, he nodded: "Although this shop is good, the small acquaintance is even better, the price is fair, and the craftsmanship is better." ”
Gu Pan hurriedly said, "Then you lead the way." ”
In a secluded side street, Gu Pan saw this shop, and the word "Li Ji" was simply written on the plaque, and there was no extra decoration. A quaint door was open, and a room full of weapons could be seen at a glance.
When a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy saw the young guard, he had already rushed up and shouted, "Brother Ding, why haven't you come here to take a look for so many days?" ”
A woman was originally looking down in front of the counter and dialing the abacus, she raised her head when she heard the voice, and when she saw Gu Pan and a few people, she immediately scolded the young man: "Xiaowen, don't shout, frighten the nobles." ”
The boy stuck out his tongue: "Yes, mother." ”
Guard Ding was busy introducing: "These are a few of my friends. He pointed to the woman and said, "This is the shopkeeper Li." ”
The shopkeeper of the armory shop was actually a woman, and Gu Pan couldn't help but take a few more looks.
The woman was in her early thirties, with a yellowish complexion and a very ordinary appearance. The look on his face was neither overly courteous nor cold.
This kind of store is Gu Pan's favorite.
"Several, what do you want to pick?" Shopkeeper Li asked.
Gu Pan said: "I want to take a bow, do you have a suitable recommendation here?" ”
"Of course, there are good ones." Shopkeeper Li instructed the man: "Take down the handfuls on the west wall and show them to this distinguished guest." ”
A few bows are spread out in one line, and they are indeed much stronger than the previous store. However, Gu Pan's eyes were attracted by another bow and arrow hanging on the wall that had not been removed, and he couldn't help but walk over.
Seeing this, two words flashed in Gu Pan's mind, evil.
As a weapon, if there is no evil spirit, it is like a person without a soul, she gently stroked the horn on the inside of the bow wall, and couldn't help but praise: "Good bow." ”
Shopkeeper Li's eyes flashed: "This guest officer has good eyesight, but unfortunately, this is not for sale." She sighed: "This is the legacy left by my late husband." ”
Gu Pan fell in love with this one at a glance, but when she heard her say this, she naturally couldn't force others, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's really a good bow." ”
Shopkeeper Li said: "I didn't expect the guest officer to be so knowledgeable. She looked at Gu Pan with a smile: "However, this bow, you use it a little bigger." ”
She naturally saw that Gu Pan and several people were women. It was just that such a weak-looking woman could have such an eye for a bow and arrow, which surprised her, and she pointed to another smaller one and said, "You try the pull of this one first." ”
Gu Pan nodded, although she was small, her strength was not small, she picked up the bow, and worked her shoulders, arms and waist, and she was so full that she pulled it away.
This posture stunned everyone at the scene at once.
Even Qinglian, who usually just saw the princess playing with the small bow, never thought that her aiming posture was no worse than that of a man, and couldn't help but say dumbfounded: "So handsome." ”
Even the shopkeeper Li is well-informed, even if Ding Hu is hygienic and calm, he can't help but show a surprised look.
Shopkeeper Li stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, what a hero." ”
Gu Panxin was overjoyed, showed this hand, was praised by everyone, regretted a little, looked at Ding Guard, and said that he should not go to someone to complain, so he quickly explained: "I just like it a little, sometimes I will play if I have nothing to do." ”
Shopkeeper Li looked at her and nodded in agreement: "You are a nobleman, so naturally you don't need to go to any battlefield, of course you are for fun." ”
Qinglian asked, "What is the price of this?" ”
Shopkeeper Li said: "Five taels of silver." ”
Ah Chu was surprised: "It's only five taels? "It's good to follow the right person, the previous store really killed people.
As soon as Gu Pan held this bow in his hand, he knew that although this bow looked ordinary, the workmanship materials were definitely better than the eighty taels. She nodded immediately, then buy this one. But she still felt a little pity in her heart, she was still reluctant to give up on the non-sale item on the wall, and looked at it several times in a row.
This look fell in the eyes of Shopkeeper Li, and she smiled slightly: "This guest officer, in fact, I don't think this is suitable for you." ”
Gu Panxi said: "Do you have anything better?" ”
"There is no spot." Shopkeeper Li said: "But you look down on your late husband's legacy so much, I have the heart to customize it for you." Her husband used to be very fond of bows and arrows, and seeing that Gu Pan was also obsessed, he couldn't help but feel a little close.
Gu Pan's eyes lit up.
Shopkeeper Li said again: "This one in this hand, the bow is a little wider." She looked at Gu Pan again and said, "But I see that your strength is not small, and in a few days, your arm strength will grow, so this pull is also slightly smaller." If you are at ease, I can make another one for you. ”
