Chapter 114: The Treasure of the Town Store
A few people immediately put their minds away and inquired all the way to find an inn to settle in.
Fortunately, it came earlier, even so, the inns in Shuoxi City were more than half full, and many inns had been pre-booked by some big merchants.
The group walked for a while, only to find an inn with vacant rooms on a small street, and when they heard the rent, several people couldn't help but be secretly surprised, a small room was not cheaper than the inn in Zhuocheng.
Fortunately, a few people didn't want to be here, so Zhu Zhi stepped forward to bargain and moved in. Ni Qing drove the carriage to the courtyard to settle down, and the two carriages had to pay some silver taels, so angry that Ni Qing and the shopkeeper quarreled.
The business travelers who have lived have come out to see the excitement, a few kind-hearted shopkeepers persuaded a few words, this is a common thing in Shuoxi, the past business travel, unless it is a very powerful business, the rest of these retail businessmen, will be slaughtered by the merchants of Shuoxi, but there is nowhere to complain.
Ni Qing lowered his head to hide the killing intent in his eyes, didn't look at the little two-toed arrogant appearance, handed over the silver taels, took the mount aside, and settled down with the carriage. Li Luo didn't care, patted Ni Qing's shoulder, and asked him to pack up and go in to rest.
A few people ate something casually in the store, went back to the room to rest for a while, and Zhu Zhi and Ni Qing stayed to look at the luggage.
Li Luo and the four of them walked out of the inn and walked around the streets and alleys, and Li Luo stopped from time to time to look at the goods in the shops on the street.
Shen Xiangdong is well-informed, although it is still the first time to come to Shuoxi, but the objects encountered, can be judged to be seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and the shop is extremely admired, and they don't think they have met a connoisseur.
After wandering around for nearly an hour, Li Luo bought a few medicinal herbs that were rare in Dagan. Shen Xiangdong also bought a few Xirong ornaments at random, and called Chajing to be bored, bought some dried fruits, and ate them while walking.
By the time a few people arrived at a market, some merchants had already set up their stalls here and were ready early.
As for the big merchants, they didn't have to show their heads like this, and they could rent the yellow rock houses prepared by Xirong in the center of the market, and more big merchants had their own shops in Shuoxi, and they would only come to these markets when bartering.
Although the market is noisy, there are Xirong soldiers patrolling everywhere, and all the merchants are very well-behaved, and it seems to be the safest place in Shuoxi City.
Li Luo and a few people walked among them, half of the stalls were still empty, and a few people looked at it casually, then lost interest, walked out of the market, and walked towards the inn.
The four of them just remembered the direction of the inn, but the road in this Shuoxi City was a little mysterious, walking and walking, getting farther and farther away from the inn, several people laughed dumbly, they didn't expect to be lost in the city walls.
Shen Xiangdong smiled bitterly and said, "We walked along this road until we reached the avenue opposite the city gate, and then turned back to the inn. ”
Li Luo smiled slightly and followed behind Shen Xiangdong.
After a few more minutes, there were more and more blacksmith shops, and there were all kinds of blacksmiths on the road, of which the shops with blades and weapons accounted for seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent were some farm tools or household utensils.
Hu Chajing was interested, and saw that the halberd and sabre and the like had to be taken off to try whether they fit together, Li Luo took a closer look, the blades made by these blacksmiths were better than those made by ordinary craftsmen in Dagan, but there were not many fine products. Sure enough, after entering a few stores, Hu Chajing was a little bored, yawned, waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, let's go back." ”
Several people stepped up their steps and walked towards the outside of the alley, when they suddenly heard an angry voice from a weapons shop on the side: "How do you beat people? "The voice is childish, it's a child.
Li Luo stopped and looked, and saw many people surrounded in front of a weapon shop called Divine Weapon on the left, Li Luo frowned, then shook his head, raised his feet and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Fang Cai's child crying: "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Luo's figure was stunned, and he groaned slightly, and then heard Shen Xiangdong beside him say, "Go over and take a look." ”
Walking outside the crowd, listening to the children's whimpering and messy complaints, Li Luo and the others understood the reason, it turned out that the two brothers had only arrived in Shuoxi today with the elders of the clan, and they had just stayed.
The younger brother was curious, so he asked his brother to take him out to play, thinking that the elder brother would not be able to shirk it, so he hid it from the elders of the clan and secretly ran out with the younger brother.
Playing all the way, I arrived in front of this weapon shop, attracted by the horizontal plaque of the store, entered the store, and saw that the blades hanging in the hall were all mortal, and the elder brother was disappointed, and was about to leave with the younger brother. The shopkeeper said that there was still a divine weapon in the store, and the hanging in the Yandao Hall was just a work for the apprentices to practice.
The two brothers were interested, and asked the shopkeeper to bring out the treasure of the town, and the shopkeeper took it out, but it was just an ordinary long sword.
It's just that although this sword is better, it is only compared with the things hanging in the store, and the two of them are about to leave, but they didn't expect the shopkeeper to be angry and angry, and the evil is born from the side of the guts, and he said that anyone who has seen this sword must buy it, and the price is one thousand taels.
The poor brothers were only two taels of silver, and where could they get together the thousand taels of silver, they were surrounded by the men in the shop. The elder brother argued with reason, but was knocked to the ground, in pain, and the younger brother lay on his brother's body, protecting his man's fists and feet.
Everyone in the audience was angry, but no one dared to step forward despite the fierce and vicious gods of the guys in the armory shop. Moreover, most of these people are foreign guests, and no one wants to cause trouble.
This noisy attracted many Xirong craftsmen from nearby shops to come and see the excitement, and Li Luo casually looked at it and watched the changes.
The shopkeeper in this store looked more than forty years old, with big eyes and small eyes, full of yellow teeth, and was scolding the two brothers with drooling. There were four guys around, giggling and sneering.
The shopkeeper mentioned the young brother and asked him to go back and fetch the silver two ransoms, but the child clutched the elder brother's arm tightly and refused to let go.
The shopkeeper was crying loudly, and he raised his hand to hit him, when he suddenly heard someone in the crowd outside the door say in a strange way: "A good hero, if you really have the ability, you might as well go to the ancient city of Mukuo to break through, and show what ability to the two children?" ”
"Who? Get out. The shopkeeper was furious, pointed at the crowd and shouted, and everyone on the lookers looked around for the person who spoke, but only heard the voice, but could not find the speaker.
"A long sword, bid a thousand taels, the most expensive blade in the other weapons shops on this street is only about fifty taels, and then look at your signboard, presumably the best craftsmanship on this street is you." The voice came out again.
The shopkeeper's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Yes, the blade I fought is only worth a thousand taels." ”
As soon as the words fell, I could hear the lively Xirong craftsman snorting coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the store's big words, but most craftsmen value their reputation, that is, they know that it is inappropriate, and they have to support themselves for the sake of their wings.
