Chapter 35: Selling Knives
After paying the money, this medium-grade treasure knife officially belonged to Su Shi, and only then did he have the opportunity to pick it up and take a closer look.
However, the smile on Su Zhi's face quickly froze, and he saw a red thing on the blade...... Not only the knife surface, but also the obscure position of the handle.
It's blood......
"Haha, brother, thank you!" At this time, another message came from cleaning the battlefield.
Su quickly asked, "Is the red thing on it human blood?" β
"What is picked up on the battlefield, of course, is human blood. There are too many things, I didn't have time to clean them and put them on the shelves, brother, you can rinse them with water yourself, this thing is not so squeamish. "It doesn't matter if he cleans the battlefield, as his name suggests, most of the weapons he hangs in the flea market are obtained when he cleans up the battlefield.
Hearing him say this, Su was as if he was making a fuss, and immediately laughed dryly.
After chatting with the battlefield for a few more words, Su Zhi took the long knife to the bathroom and poked it again and again with a towel to ensure that there was no blood stain left on it.
A little blood stain may not be a big deal in a world that cleans the battlefield, and killing someone is only a matter of strength, but in a legal society like the earth, it is not good, it will get into trouble, it is better to be cautious, he will not be naΓ―ve to think that bringing a little blood can make it appreciate.
I didn't sleep well last night, and I ran around all day today, Su Zhi's spirit was exhausted, and when he finished doing this, he couldn't get out of bed after a simple shower.
Next.
Su Yuyue woke up from the bed, quickly washed and dressed, made some food casually, and then wrapped the treasure knife in rags layer by layer. Otherwise, it would be too ostentatious to take it out directly, and this knife is too sharp, and it is not good to accidentally hurt someone.
Hop on a mountain bike and head towards the antique market.
Hangzhou is a thousand-year-old city in China, with a long history and rich cultural atmosphere, although the fame of the antique market is not as good as that of Panjiayuan in the capital, but it also has a large scale.
Su had been to that place in the past, and he had personally seen antiques that had been sold for millions, and he was envious at the time. However, in his opinion, these antiques are too vain, and the things that speculate the price are simply scum in front of his treasure knife.
The antique street has a long history and has been listed as a cultural heritage, and no new buildings can be built, and visitors who come here feel as if they have entered the Republic of China, and the atmosphere is completely different from the current city.
Today is Saturday, the date of the antique street fair, and not only the shops, but also the various stalls on both sides of the road. However, what is sold is not vegetables and pork, but all kinds of literary and artistic souvenirs, and even antiques.
Of course, there are very few antiques among them, not even one percent, and more are imitations of modern craftsmanship, depending on whether your eyesight is enough. This is like Su's most flea market, if you don't have eyesight, it is commonplace to be fooled.
"Wang's Antique Shop"
It's an ordinary name, but it's the largest shop in the entire antique street. And according to Su's understanding, this shop has been inherited for a hundred years and has a good reputation.
There were two security guards at the door, but there was only one old man in the store, who was wearing glasses and looking at a piece of white jade, so attentive that he didn't even notice Su Zhi when he walked to his side.
"Little friend, do you need any help?" The old man finally raised his head and asked.
"I have an ancient knife to sell, will you take it?" Sue asked busiest.
"Of course. Please put things out and take a look. The old man bowed, but his eyes were already looking at the long knife wrapped in layers of white cloth in Su Zhi's hand, and there was a vague expectation in his heart.
After hearing this, Su put the things on the table and opened them carefully, but don't accidentally scratch other people's tables, look at this mahogany, I'm afraid it's expensive.
"Huh?" The old man quickly burst out in shock, and couldn't help but start to help Su Shi.
"Be careful, sharp." Su hurriedly reminded.
"I know." The old man replied, and when the rag was completely opened, he couldn't help but touch the long knife with his hand, and said with wide eyes: "The forging process of this knife is very good, the material is not iron or steel, it must be made of rare ore refining and forging. β
"You can see its condition, it seems to be used often, is it new?"
"No, there is no master forging with such a craft at all, and this knife is definitely not newly cast."
"And look at the style, it is different from the common long knives of several dynasties in our country, eighty percent of them are personal customized weapons of ancient knights, but which dynasty is it?"
The old man muttered to himself, his brow furrowed all the time. His eyesight is extremely good in Hangzhou, and his knowledge is also rich, but this time he is difficult to discern the origin of this long knife.
"Little friend, where did you get this knife?" The old man asked.
"Inherited from home." Su said most casually, this was an excuse he had thought of before he came.
"Oh?" The old man was noncommittal, and then asked, "How many years have it been?" β
"I don't know." Sue did not answer.
"Looking at the traces on it, it seems that it is often used, why don't you keep such a valuable thing well?" The old man asked.
"This knife sharpens iron like clay, and we often use it to chop wood and cut trees, so it looks a little new." Sue is the most honest and honest.
ββ¦β¦ Chopping wood and chopping trees? Sharpen iron like clay? The old man's glasses were about to fall off, and he really wanted to see what Su Zhi's expression was after saying this, but he found that Su was the most serious look, not like a lie.
"The reason why the word "cutting iron like mud" often appeared in ancient times was because the iron-making capacity of the Central Plains was backward at that time, and it was not as good as the Japanese country and the grassland.
"Of course, the ancient treasure knife is also very powerful, I have even seen an ancient sword in the Tang Dynasty can cut the current steel bar, 0.6 cm steel bar, that kind of craftsmanship is really good, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like cutting iron like mud."
"There are more powerful ones, there is a Sui Dynasty divine soldier in the hands of a family in the capital, it is said that sharpening iron is like sharpening bamboo, that is the real sharpening of iron like mud!"
"Of course, I'm not qualified to see it, but I've heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not." The old man said slowly, doubting this statement? But this news was said by one of his seniors, a respected senior, who vowed frankly that he had seen it in person.
Su was shocked no less than the other party after hearing this, there is such a powerful weapon on the earth? And it's an antiquity? of the Sui Dynasty? It's incredible, you must know that this is the magic weapon of the cultivation world.
If this news is true, then it is intriguing, could it be that there are people in the cultivation world on the earth now?
But none of this had anything to do with him, and when the old man's voice fell, he said: "My knife can easily split iron nails, and cutting wood is like cutting tofu, don't believe us try." β
The old man looked at him intently, trying to see the truth and falsehood, but Su Shi's expression was very sincere and honest from beginning to end, not like lying. However, as a businessman, he also knows that the world is sinister, and he can't imagine that the young man in front of him is still a porcelain.
"Even if this knife is not an antiquity, it is worth 180,000 yuan with its exquisite craftsmanship and unknown materials, are you sure you want to test it? I have to say in advance that you have to do the test yourself, and we will not be responsible for any accidents. β
No wonder the old man is so serious, in this special industry, cheating and abduction happens every day, that is, he has been deceived more than once, and the word trust is even more worthless, in short, there is no big mistake in being careful.
"No problem." Sue is the most confident.
The old man was silent, and looked at the blade, which was indeed so sharp that it made people's hearts chill. But those who are familiar with ancient swords know that swords are not easy to polish too sharp, at most only the tip of the sword is carefully polished, otherwise it will easily roll up and directly break the whole weapon.
And looking at this long knife, which was overly sharpened from the root of the handle to the tip of the tail, he was really worried that the test would break a good knife.
"Since you insist, let's test it!" The old man agreed, and then said to the security guard outside the door: "Ah Biao, you go to the backyard and find two wooden sticks to come out." One big and one small. β
The security guard, known as Ah Biao, quickly found a wooden stick, the big bowl was thick, and the small one was half the size of the former.
Su asked him to put the wooden stick on the chair, and then picked up the sword himself under their gaze, and aimed it with his eyes before slashing it down with force. His strength was too small, and he was afraid of embarrassment, after all, he was not so familiar with the power of the sword.
"Whew!"
However, the bearing force of this small wooden stick was less than he thought, and he didn't feel much resistance at all when he slashed with such force, and then the sword continued to slash towards the floor.
"Click!"
Although Su Shi withdrew most of his strength in time, he was still a little late, and with a crisp click, the tip of the knife was already deeply embedded in the marble floor.
Su was nervous and hurriedly pulled out the knife. The treasure knife was naturally fine, but there was a smooth gap on the floor, and he could only say dryly: "I'm sorry, it's too hard, or I'll pay you for repairing the floor?" β
Su Shi's words finally woke up the old man and Ah Biao, but they were still a little stunned, looked at the flat cut on the wooden bar, looked at the gap in the floor, and finally looked at the treasure knife that did not leave the slightest trace, and swallowed at the same time.
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I'll let someone make it up." The old man hurriedly stopped, and then looked at the treasure knife with shining eyes and urged, "Can you continue to try?" β
"Of course!" In order to be able to sell at a good price, Su is also very hard.
