Chapter 299: Bargaining
For the word "savage", Wang Fatzi felt that it was not appropriate. He felt that the word "free man" was actually more suitable to describe the current state of the blacksmith.
It's a pity that Cui Hong gave a special meaning to the "free man", so the blacksmith can only be called a "wild man".
"How can I get cheaper?" Wang Fatzi asked the most crucial question.
"Except for the nine-percent discount on rice just promised, it's not cheap at all!" When the blacksmith saw that the fat man was about to bargain with him, he immediately lost interest, turned back and prepared to continue striking iron.
"Hissγγγγγγ" Wang Fatzi frowned, and then asked, "What is the quality of that knife?" β
"Can't you see that?" When the blacksmith heard Wang Fatzi's words, he turned back again, then opened his hands and motioned for Wang Fatzi to look at all the knives around him.
Wang Fatzi shook his head and said: "There is a saying that gold and jade are ruined on the outside, who knows what will happen?" β
As soon as Wang Fatzi's words came out, the blacksmith immediately smiled contemptuously, and then picked up a big knife and pulled a beautiful knife flower.
I saw the blacksmith pick up a threaded steel bar that was placed on the side, and then cut it down with a knife, only to hear the sound of gold and iron intersecting, and the threaded steel bar close to two centimeters broke in response.
Looking at the blacksmith again, he was brushing the surface of the knife with his hand, making a grinding sound, and the knife was not missing the slightest bit of a curling blade.
Just when Wang Fatzi thought that this was the end, the knife in the blacksmith's hand suddenly danced, and suddenly the knife light flew in the room, and he saw the blacksmith with a master's demeanor, and a long knife in his hand slashed at an iron grinder placed on the wooden table, and he slashed hundreds of times a minute.
The knife fell on the iron grinder, and the last blow of the blacksmith ended with the force of splitting Huashan.
There was a "boom", and the knife slashed at the iron mill, and instead of cutting the iron mill into two pieces, it shattered the wooden table.
As soon as the blacksmith put away the knife and brushed it with his hand again, there was still no problem with the blade.
Wang Fatzi couldn't help but praise when he saw it: "Good knife!" Good knife technique! β
But the blacksmith was very unimpressed, and threw the knife in his hand as if it were garbage.
Such a powerful knife, Wang Fatzi naturally will not miss it, and he will inevitably get two, so Wang Fatzi hurriedly stepped forward: "The knives are all good knives, but I don't think these knives can be used, and the shape does not quite meet my requirements, can it be customized?" β
The blacksmith had already returned to the stove at this time, picked up the piece of iron just now and continued to beat it, and after listening to the words of the fat man, he did not raise his head and said: "As long as you pay for it, you can do whatever you want!" β
"Good! I need two Nepalese saber-style machetes, eleven throwing knives, and thirty short arrows, how much food do I need? Wang Fatzi excitedly reported what he needed.
The blacksmith didn't give an answer immediately, but asked Wang Fatzi to test the weight of the knife, which probably felt the most convenient. After Wang Fatzi finished trying, the blacksmith pondered for a while and asked another question: "Do your throwing knives and short arrows have to be of the same quality as machetes?" β
Wang Fatzi said without thinking: "Of course! β
Wang Fatzi has a problem, that is, if it is bad, it will be bad, and if it is good, it will be good. For example, before the end of the world, he generally wore stalls. Once on his birthday, his girlfriend bought him a pair of Nike shoes, almost a thousand yuan.
A thousand yuan of shoes, in the eyes of Wang Fatzi, is an absolute luxury. However, Wang Fatzi didn't wear it once, his girlfriend asked him why, he said that he was wearing a shirt of 20 yuan a piece, and shoes of 1,000 yuan, after wearing it, it was real, and others thought it was fake, so he must make up enough to wear a famous brand.
So he didn't even wear those shoes once until the end of the world. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is poor.
"When?" The blacksmith asked again.
"Naturally, the sooner the better, preferably within three days!" Wang Fatzi was thinking that in three days, Lin Yiting would be able to go on the road even if he couldn't recover, and he didn't want to delay more.
"Shhh Time is a bit tight! The blacksmith muttered with a frown.
"I can add money!" Wang Fatzi said instinctively.
"Good! Then I'll put aside the work at hand for the time being and do my best to help you build! When the blacksmith heard the fat man say "you can add money", his eyes immediately lit up, revealing a hint of imperceptible joy.
"How much, exactly? I'll go to Cui Hong and ask for it! Wang Fatzi asked anxiously.
"I promised you a nine-percent discount on rice, and after a nine-percent discount, nine hundred catties of rice, of course, you can also take other things to pay, canned meat, vegetables and fruits!" The blacksmith said as if he had already suffered a lot.
"What?" Wang Fatzi immediately shouted, almost not frightened: "Why don't you go and grab it?" β
When the blacksmith saw that Wang Fatzi reacted so much, his face immediately sank: "It's not me who is robbing, it's you who are robbing, do you think my 900 catties are mine?" Among them, half of them will be given to the base, love to fight or not, do not roll! β
Wang Fatzi was angry, if he couldn't use the bronze arm armor again, he would be ready to suppress it by force.
Now he could only swallow his anger and say, "You don't have to give half of the base!" β
"Those four hundred and fifty pounds!" The blacksmith huffed.
Four hundred and fifty catties of rice is also an astronomical amount for Wang Fatzi. According to the average person's pound of rice a day, 450 catties is enough to eat for more than a year.
There is really a lot of rice, and I am fat and even suspicious. When he opened his mouth with Cui Hong, Cui Hong couldn't help but run wild.
So he still thinks it's too expensive: "Can't you just be cheaper?" β
Wang Fatzi is really anxious, this thing is a good thing, and he really wants it, but there is not so much rice.
So Wang Fatzi thought about impressing the blacksmith with sincerity, hoping to be cheaper.
But the blacksmith is just like those unscrupulous capitalists before the end of the world, the house is so expensive, whether you like to buy it or not, it is impossible to discount it, and it is better to let it rot there than sell it at a reduced price.
With the blacksmith's two words "no" exited, Wang Fatzi's eyelids jumped, and he was almost about to burst out and kill, of course he endured it, without the bronze arm armor, he would die as soon as the fat man died, and it was impossible for the blacksmith to be the opponent at all.
Just when Wang Fatzi and the blacksmith couldn't hold each other, and the atmosphere in the house was solemn, a free man from the Free City came in with a few pieces of iron, and after coming in, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted Cui Dami, and said to the blacksmith: "Old Tie, these irons are for you, help me make a knife, and bring it to you when I get the knife!" β
"Put it there, write the style, weight and length of the knife, and leave your name!" The blacksmith said coldly.
After the free man left, Wang Fatzi asked suspiciously, "Can you provide the materials yourself?" β
"Yes!" The blacksmith was obviously very unhappy with this, and did not want to answer Wang Fatzi.
"How much can I reduce by providing my own materials?" Wang Fatzi asked again.
"Lose a hundred pounds!"
"I see that you are alone, and you seem to be too busy, so what if I am here to help?"
"Lose another fifty pounds, you can't lose any less, and I'd rather not do your business less!" The blacksmith was already starting to get impatient.
Wang Fatzi was afraid of angering the other party, and the other party really didn't build it for himself, and it would be really troublesome when the time came, so Wang Fatzi had to grit his teeth and say: "Deal!" β
