Chapter 12: Showing off
These two knives look very simple, no different from the daggers sold on the market, the handle is still a newly made wood, and the blade is even more shiny like stainless steel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, it's the blades of these two knives that really pay attention to.
The connoisseur who left before was forcibly pulled back again, and it turned out that everyone knew the people who often came and went near the vegetable market, and they all knew that this connoisseur had a lot of treasures hidden at home. Passers-by said that they were asking for tea, and finally, when the connoisseur saw that the beggar was unwilling to sell, he made an exception and told everyone the reason for it.
The connoisseur asked the owner of the stall selling pork next to him for a knife to chop bones, at first he wanted to buy it with money, and the pork seller also wanted to know where the two knives were good, so he simply gave the knife to the connoisseur. Selling pork calculates how many hard bones his knife has chopped in his heart, and he doesn't even have a gap, and he weighs five or six pounds, and he won't have an accident, but in the end, he still has to pay himself back, and he also seems to be generous.
The connoisseur took the bone chopping knife, weighed it, it was heavy enough, the knife body was a thumb thick, and he was a little guilty in his heart. It turns out that this connoisseur said that he was a collector, more or less also did a little reselling cultural relics, so far has not been found out, recently the top of the grasp is tight, the industry is sluggish, he will be idle and have nothing to do to visit the antique market, with a pair of eyes that have been practiced over the years in the antique market that is out of the limelight.
Today he didn't expect to see a baby on a beggar at the entrance of the vegetable market, he thought that the beggar didn't know the goods and wanted to fool around twice, so he bought these two good knives, and he didn't want the beggar to be stupid, he knew that it was a baby, so he didn't sell it. The mistake was that he was in too much of a hurry at the time, so that the peers next to him could see the doorway, and the news was leaked, but the beggar stall was hot.
Now he can't get off the stage, with his eyes and the observation of the little beggar, he expects that his eyes will not be wrong, but now fakes are rampant, and there are also people who have reached the realm of indistinguishable between true and false, in case it is really a fake, and his reputation will be ruined in front of so many people. It's useless to regret it, you can only harden it.
He saluted the little beggar, explaining that he wanted to borrow a knife, the beggar was a little embarrassed, looking at so many people next to him, there were more people in the original picture of the show, and it was a good time at this time, so he nodded and agreed.
The connoisseur held a knife in his left hand and a bone chopping knife in his right hand, and said to everyone: "At the beginning, there was a water margin in the Yang Zhi vegetable market to sell knives, the knife was so sharp that it could be blown and broken, today, this knife is even more amazing, the same I have only seen once, don't look at its appearance, if it is true, although it is not a cultural relic, but it also has a history of hundreds of years, because the method of forging has been lost in the Republic of China because of the war!" I also saw it in the hands of a person in the rivers and lakes back then, and for this knife, sharpening iron like clay is nothing at all! ”
I saw him pinching the handle of the knife with two fingers, letting the tip of the knife face down, and lifting it to the height of a fist above the bone chopping knife, and his two hands stretched out far away from his body. At this time, the people who came over were wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, and they all wondered what kind of reputation this person was doing.
At this time, the connoisseur let go of the fingers pinching the knife, and the knife fell freely by gravity, and the tip of the knife touched the surface of the bone chopping knife, and sparks splashed instantly, like inserting it into tofu without any resistance, and passed through the thick and heavy bone chopping knife. The matter is not over, the expert deliberately took the bone chopping knife obliquely, the knife pierced the bone chopping knife until the wooden handle was blocked and did not continue to fall, and then, because the bone chopping knife is tilted, the knife slid down on the surface of the bone chopping knife along the direction of the blade, and there was a burst of sparks along the way, and the bone chopping knife was cut out of a big hole, and finally the knife fell to the ground together and fell into the ground.
The connoisseur picked up the knife from the ground, returned the knife to the beggar, and silently walked out of the crowd with the broken bone chopping knife. Only the owner of the pork seller is secretly distressed.
Next, there is a question in front of everyone, since the little beggar is not selling knives, what is he doing with such a sharp knife, and the little beggar is a knife wrapped in cloth before, I think the rags of this bag of knives are also rare, otherwise the knife would have been pierced.
The little beggar took out a piece of Zou Baba's gray cloth from his arms, unfolded the gray cloth and hung it in front of the box, and everyone looked at the words on the gray cloth to understand that the little beggar turned out to be this craft, and secretly laughed at the little beggar for being stupid.
The beggar's craft is very simple, any person only needs to produce a coin, can use a knife to cut a knife on the paper, and then the little beggar also takes the same knife to cut a knife on the same stack of paper, the requirement is that the little beggar should be less than the paper that the person who came to cut a layer of paper, no more, no less, just one layer. If the little beggar does it, this coin belongs to the little beggar, and if he doesn't, then someone can take the knife that he touched.
The little beggar cut the thick stack of paper into small pieces with a knife in front of everyone, and immediately someone came up, threw a few coins into the small bowl, reached out for the knife and was about to leave, but was immediately stopped by the little beggar.
The person who came said: "Boy, I see that you are young, you must know that there are mountains outside the mountain, and there are people outside the people, you shouldn't run into Lao Tzu today, I can't bear to embarrass you, what about the money, I gave you more points, give you enough face, anyway, this knife will be Lao Tzu sooner or later, so I will take it first." ”
After talking for a long time, this man is here to play a scoundrel.
"How do you know if you don't try?" The little beggar replied with a smile.
The scoundrel immediately slashed with his backhand, and the little beggar's hand hurriedly dodged, and the knife almost cut the little beggar's wrist. The knife didn't hit the beggar, and it slashed over a stack of papers.
The little beggar's eyes were quick, and he passed through the gap between the man's movements, and only pinched the joint of his wrist, and the man immediately cried out in pain, and the knife in his hand fell loosely, and stabbed the man's foot.
The onlookers were shocked, thinking that something was going to happen.
Although the little beggar was sitting on the other side of the box, his other hand had already arrived in front of him, and he happened to catch the knife, and without waiting for his body to stabilize himself, he turned around and slashed the blade across the stack of paper just now. By the time the visitor had recovered from his fright, the little beggar had already sat down peacefully on the ground, and was asking an old man next to him to come and help count the cracks in the paper.
The old man looked at the sunlight one by one, and even if there was light passing through, even if he broke one, he counted it twice, and counted it again with the people next to him, and finally excitedly announced that there was indeed only one piece of paper without two knife seams.
The little beggar respectfully put the coins in the bowl into his bag, the scoundrel saw that the little beggar was less than one meter six but he was good at martial arts, knowing that he was an egg that hit a stone, and the other party did not hurt himself and had enough affection, and if he continued to make trouble, he would only ask for trouble, and he was disgraced and walked away in the sighs of everyone.
Next, a few more people came up to try, and the little beggar asked the people next to him to testify, and sure enough, no more, no less, only one was cut. When Nangong Ming arrived, there were already more than a dozen people who stepped forward to try it.
After hearing what Tian Xia said, Nangong Ming smiled and said, "The little beggar is not only skilled, but also very smart." ”
Tian Xia was stunned for a moment and asked why. Nangong Ming said his reason, and Tian Xia suddenly realized.
