Chapter 168: Uncle Tao
The middle-aged man waited for a long time and saw that Xiao Mo still didn't move, so he said flatteringly: "Lord Xiao, all the goods here meet your needs. The little one also knows that you have been here once, so the rules and regulations do not need to be explained more. There were fifteen men and women in each of the left and right compartments, but the number of people in the middle compartment was the smallest, and there were only two girls in the central compartment recently.
However, despite the fact that there were only two girls, the price of these two girls was a little more than the combined price of all the other slaves combined. After all, we are doing business here, and the appearance of these two girls is even better than the ones that Lord Xiao bought last time!
What's more important is that these two girls have passed the age of Ji, and their demeanor and body are not comparable to other young girls, and both of them are virgins, and they have not been tried, which must be well understood by the lord! It costs a lot of money to train such slaves. Lord Xiao, do you want to see if it is to your liking? ”
During the whole process of the middle-aged man's speech, Xiao Mo didn't listen to those nonsense at all, but stood still, listened to the low cry coming from the compartment, and his brows showed a trace of unbearability.
Then Xiao Mo said without thinking: "I want all these children, and I will send them to Xiao Mansion tomorrow, and there will naturally be someone to receive these children at that time." Also, remember not to send the wrong Xiao Mansion! ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately smiled like a flower and said, "Save it!" Save! Of course, I know which Xiao Mansion to send to. The villain thanks Lord Xiao for taking care of the business! ”
After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he didn't want to stay here any longer, and he didn't want to have an in-depth conversation with this middle-aged man. So, Xiao Mo shook his ass and didn't reply.
The middle-aged man didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Mo's behavior. He is a lord who has been personally named by a dignified edict, and as a noble lord, of course he will not talk nonsense with these subordinates. The middle-aged man was very happy that he had made a lot of money.
Xiao Mo was on the way back. When passing through the market, I deliberately paid attention to observe and wanted to see if the horse-faced man I met before was there, but I found that the horse-faced man did not come to sell wild things.
This situation also made Xiao Mo very puzzled, Xiao Mo had specially ordered people to come and look for him before, but he didn't see the horse-faced man. Xiao Mo didn't know if the horse-faced man's stall was periodic. Xiao Mo had some questions about Xiaobai, but he always wanted to ask the horse-faced man.
In the end, the ox cart stopped in front of the most famous civilian blacksmith in Luodu.
This blacksmith workshop is very famous in Luo, and the things made in it are all first-class good things at this time, both in terms of quality and appearance.
The reason why it is called a civilian blacksmith workshop is because the owner of this blacksmith workshop is an ordinary old man surnamed Tao. The blacksmith's workshop was not affiliated with any of the magnates, was fairly priced, and was accommodating to all the poor.
In this era of cold weapons, iron and bronze tools belong to the country's heavy weapons, which are equivalent to the strategic resources of later generations, whether it is iron tools for agriculture or weapons and armor for war, these resources are inseparable.
So at this time, the important blacksmiths were in the hands of the imperial court. Ordinary blacksmith workshops are also in the hands of powerful families, and it is very rare to have a well-known civilian blacksmith workshop like this, and the technology is excellent.
Xiao Mo walked into the blacksmith workshop. There was a bearded and shirtless uncle who walked over with a smile, and when he got close to Xiao Mo, he arched his hand and laughed: "Lord Xiao, you are really punctual." Good thing you wanted. I've already figured it out, old man, and I'm just waiting for you to pick it up. Otherwise, I will really have a hard time dealing with the old man. ”
When Xiao Mo heard this, he also smiled and returned the salute: "Uncle Tao, you do something." That's Luo Du is famously good. I happened to be free today, so I thought I'd come over and see if it was ready. ”
Uncle Tao smiled when he heard it and said: "Lord Xiao, you came to pick it up in person, which shows that that thing is very important to the lord, if I don't care about it, old man, I can't say anything."
But the steel wire you mentioned, I really can't pull people so thin, old man, so I have made a slight change to the old man, but it doesn't have much impact. ”
Xiao Mo also nodded when he heard this, saying that it was no big deal, and then he went to the workshop under the leadership of Uncle Tao.
In one corner of the workshop lay a few rough steel wires half the size of a little finger and a set of protective gear.
Xiao Mo picked up the steel wire, and found that although the steel wire was slightly blue, the flexibility was quite good, and he tried the connection between the protective gear and the steel wire, and found that the connection between the two was very stable.
Uncle Tao saw Xiao Mo looking at the steel wire and protective gear, so he explained with a smile: "Old man, I found that the steel wire you said was tempered with pure black iron, and the steel wire obtained in the end was very brittle and hard. Although the fineness is a little thicker than you said, it is no problem to pull up a few people. ”
Xiao Mo himself felt very satisfied. This set of tools is the artificial Weiya that Xiao Mo thought of in order to copy the Flying Immortal Dance, and as long as Zhiqing uses this artificial Weiya, she can complete the Flying Immortal Dance without practicing since childhood.
For being able to make the steel wire so thin in this year, Xiao Mo was already very unexpected. Zhiqing is such a petite girl, this wire is definitely enough.
And this wire is a little thicker, Xiao Mo thinks it's good, because the restaurant opened at night, and after some camouflage, it is difficult for the naked eye to see it in the absence of lighting technology in later generations. Xiao Mo felt that the safety of Flying Immortal Dance and Zhiqing, the latter was what Xiao Mo cared about.
Xiao Mo saw that this steel wire was very well made, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind and asked Uncle Tao, "Uncle Tao, can you make daggers?" ”
When Uncle Tao heard Xiao Mo ask, he couldn't help but say with a look of vigilance: "Dagger? Sir, you know, this matter of privately making weapons is a first-class felony in the Great Sui, and I don't dare to make weapons privately, old man. Besides, you are a dignified lord, what is the use of this dagger? ”
Xiao Mo heard this, and said: "Uncle Tao, don't misunderstand, I'll just ask like this, don't be embarrassed, the reason why I asked about the dagger is because I may be able to use it in the future, but it's not a big deal, after all, I won't use it." ”
When Uncle Tao heard Xiao Mo say this, he also nodded with a smile, but he didn't mention the dagger that Xiao Mo said.
Xiao Mo didn't force it, he said goodbye with a smile, and let Erniu go out with his things, as for the construction fee, Xiao Mo paid it before building it. (To be continued.) )
