Chapter 184: Buying a Sword
Xu Ziling's main thing in the application of materials is metal, and I would like to see where the folk casting technology has come now. So he asked the waiter to lead the two of them to see the modern sword first.
There were about one-third of the modern swords in the store, and the waiter saw that both of them were dressed extraordinarily, and took a few swords that were said to be the best in the store to show Xu Ziling.
After looking at a few handfuls, Xu Ziling waved his hand in disappointment to stop the waiter from taking another handful. According to what the waiter said, the few swords I saw just now are already the best swords forged by several famous sword factories.
The fine workmanship and good materials do show that these swords are not ordinary, but in Xu Ziling's eyes, these are not enough.
If you want to talk about materials and sharpness, as long as he makes any one of the many recipes, he can reach the level of these swords, and the only thing that these swords can get into his eyes is probably the fine workmanship.
"Let's take a look at the ancient swords." In his opinion, if he really wanted to buy such a sword and send it, it was better to make it out himself, so he said to Yang Ruolan to go and see the ancient sword.
Yang Ruolan was just curious anyway, and she didn't know what kind of sword was good at all, so she didn't express her opinion, what Xu Ziling said was what it was, Xu Ziling said to see the ancient sword, she immediately nodded and agreed.
Looking at Xu Ziling's movements, the waiter knew that the two of them really wanted to buy a good sword, and they knew that the swords of Lu Dao were tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and if it was a business, the commission would be very considerable for her. She immediately led the two of them to the other side of the store.
It can be said that he has been dealing with weapons all day long, and he has a strong interest in these cold weapons, anyway, it is still early, and Xu Ziling did not let the lion scan it, but took a look at it himself.
Xu Ziling personally likes swords, and he also likes to find a good sword to give to Old Man Yang, so he focuses on the sword.
But I've seen a lot, and I've had a few handfuls, but I still haven't found one he likes. "You don't have anything to do here?" Xu Ziling asked the waiter.
"......" The waiter saw that Xu Ziling had read all the things in the store and hadn't found a suitable one, and then heard his words, and hesitated, "Our boss has a few good swords in his hands, but ordinary people ...... them."
Seeing the waiter's expression, Xu Ziling knew what she meant, and immediately said: "Don't worry, we are giving it away, as long as we like it, how much money is not a problem." ”
Hearing Xu Ziling say that money is not a problem, the waiter smiled apologetically at the two, "This is what our boss meant, then please wait a minute, I will go and ask for instructions immediately." ”
"Okay, we can understand you, you can go and ask for instructions."
Good things will definitely not be shown easily, of course Xu Ziling knew that the waiter could not call the shots, and he didn't care about this, as long as he could see things, it didn't matter, so the waiter said that he wanted to ask for instructions, and he immediately let her go.
After a few minutes, the waiter went to return, but a middle-aged man in his forties walked with her.
"This is our boss, boss, these are the two I was talking about."
The waiter gave them a introduction.
The middle-aged man is of medium height, with a round face, a little fat, a big belly, and a smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Hello, the contemptible surname is Huang, he is the owner of this store, I heard that the little brother wants a good sword?" The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said to Xu Ziling with a smile.
Xu Ziling shook hands with the middle-aged man, "Hello Boss Huang, we just want a good sword to give away, I don't know if Boss Huang has it here." ”
"There are a few swords, so I don't know if the Dao is in line with the little brother's wishes. The thing is inside, why don't you ask the little brother to move in and take a look. Boss Huang first nodded and smiled at Yang Ruolan, which was regarded as a greeting, and then pointed to a small house in the store.
"Okay, I'm about to see Boss Huang's baby."
As soon as Xu Ziling agreed, Boss Huang turned around and took the lead in walking to the room inside, and Xu Ziling also led Yang Ruolan to follow behind.
After entering the room, Boss Huang beckoned the two to sit down, and ordered the waiter who followed in to make tea, and he himself said to go and get something out, so he walked into a room in the room.
After the waiter's tea was ready, Boss Huang also walked out of it, holding four long boxes in his hands.
Walking in front of Xu Ziling and them, Boss Huang put the box in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, and said with a smile: "Little brother, these are all my pressed goods, take a look." ”
Xu Ziling looked at it, several boxes were wooden, the longest was about one meter five, and the shortest was less than one meter. From the length of the box, he knew that there were long and short swords in it, and he chose the longest box and held it in his hand.
When the box was opened, there was a long sword about one meter two long, with a complete scabbard, and the whole sword looked quite gorgeous.
Holding it in his hand, Xu Ziling first looked at the scabbard, then pulled the sword out of the scabbard, looked at the sword body carefully, and after a few minutes, he inserted the sword into the scabbard again and put it back in the box.
After reading a handful, he continued to open another box and took out another handful inside to look at it. During the whole process, Xu Ziling didn't speak, and Boss Huang didn't speak, nor did he have any impatience, just sat on the side, looking at him with a smile.
Seeing the last one, Xu Ziling had a general understanding of these swords. Although he did not understand the historical meaning of these objects, it was enough for him to see the quality of the materials.
Among the several swords, he felt that the first sword he looked at was his favorite in terms of shape, workmanship, and material, but he also knew that the water in the antique industry was too deep, and from the appearance, it was absolutely unreliable.
So he beckoned the lion out and asked him to ascertain the authenticity of the sword. He thought that if he bought it back with his own feelings, in case it was a fake, how much money would cost was a trivial matter, but this was for Yang Ruolan's grandfather, and if people knew that he had sent a fake, it would be a matter of losing face.
What's more, this is the first time he has gone to visit, he is not representing him alone, but at the same time representing Yang Haisheng and their family, if he makes a fool of himself, then Yang Haisheng and their faces will not look good, so he must be cautious.
