Chapter 213: Copperbeard Blacksmith Shop
In order to keep Hu Ye's secret of killing the local lord, the two did not go to Baron Chalin's territory, but went to the farther town of Shining Gold to buy the items they needed.
The town of Shining Gold is the domain of another lord, the Earl of Rose. The town is located at the confluence of two rivers and there is also a Play Kingdom Road passing through here, so the traffic is very developed.
Because of this, the town of Shining Gold is much richer than Baron Chagrin's small castle. The town has at least a few thousand inhabitants, taverns, inns, brothels, and even a modest opera house.
Naturally, there is a market in such a lively town, which is much larger than the market in front of Baron Chaglien's castle.
Many merchants sell their wares here, and some even come from the continent of Karimdor on the other side of the ocean. It was at the bazaar that Hu Ye saw other races other than humans for the first time. A green-skinned goblin is diligently selling his wares, supposedly a flintlock pistol from the hands of a dwarf.
Perhaps in this world, the dwarven flintlock pistol is indeed a good weapon, but for Hu Ye, who has an assault rifle, this kind of thing is really not very attractive.
What Hu Ye wanted to buy was iron farming tools and horses, and he also needed some tools for mining leanbole. In addition, he also plans to buy some grain to go back, the conditions in Baishi Village are too difficult, and the villagers cannot be allowed to mine white amphibole with hunger, which will seriously affect the efficiency of mining.
Hu Ye soon found a blacksmith shop, and the signboard at the door read "Tongshu Blacksmith Shop". Inside, a sturdy dwarf with a large dark yellow beard was wielding a hammer to hit an iron ingot.
Seeing someone coming in, the dwarf didn't stop, and asked Hu Ye while striking iron: "What do you want to order, guest?" ”
"I want to sell these weapons and exchange them for some farming tools and mining tools." Hu Ye said as he unwrapped the package and let the dwarf see the weapons inside.
The more than twenty long swords are still quite eye-catching, and the dwarf put down the hammer, picked up one of them and looked at it for a moment and said: "Human craftsmanship, just ordinary goods, each long sword gives you three gold coins, how about it?" ”
Anyway, the long sword was originally snatched, so Hu Ye immediately nodded and said, "Deal!" ”
Hu Ye's crisp attitude made the dwarf have a good impression of him, and he glanced at Hu Ye and said, "Okay, I'll give you the money now." ”
"Don't worry." Hu Ye smiled and said, "I still want to buy thirty hoes, five sets of ploughs, and ......."
Hu Ye reported a long list of shopping lists, and Tongxu was stunned when he heard it.
In a world where iron tools are generally scarce, Hu Ye actually buys so many things at once, even for dwarves, he is a big customer.
Tongxu glanced at Hu Ye and said, "These things are not cheap, do you have so much money?" ”
Knowing that the dwarf was so direct, Hu Ye was not angry, and said with a smile: "You can make a price first!" ”
"Eight silver coins for the hoe, the price of the plough is relatively high, twelve gold coins, and the other ......" Copper Whisker said all the prices, and counted with his fingers: "The total price is ......"
Hu Ye calculated much faster than the copper beard, and immediately gave the answer: "The total price is eighty-three gold coins and six silver coins." ”
Tongxu didn't believe that Hu Ye could calculate it so quickly, so he still pointed his fingers unhurriedly, and it took a long time to figure it out, and it was exactly the same price as Hu Ye said!
The dwarf glanced at Hu Ye unexpectedly, and said with some embarrassment: "Ahem, you are right, it is indeed this price." I don't want six silver coins, and after deducting the price of those long swords, you still have to give me ......"
"Twenty-one gold coins!" Hu Ye rushed to answer again.
This time, Tongxu didn't count it anymore, and asked Hu Ye directly: "Can you accept this price?" ”
"No problem!" Hu Ye simply agreed, but soon changed the conversation and said, "But...... I don't have gold! ”
Copperbeard glared and said, "No gold coins?" You're kidding me, right? ”
"Don't be angry!" Hu Ye took out a gold bar and said unhurriedly: "I don't have gold coins, but I have this!" ”
When Tongsu saw this gold bar, his eyes immediately straightened, and he snatched it from Hu Ye's hand. The dwarf knew that it was pure gold as soon as he weighed it, and he turned the gold bar upside down and looked at it for a while, and said with a surprised face: "Look at this regular shape, and the smoothness of the surface, the casting process of this gold bar is simply amazing!" ”
Speaking of which, Tongsu looked up at Hu Ye and asked, "Where did this gold bar come from?" ”
Hu Ye said lightly: "I brought it from my hometown, can I use it to pay the bill?" ”
"Of course no problem!" Tongsu nodded hurriedly, and then said to Hu Ye: "But this is too much, twenty-one gold coins, only a small half is enough." ”
Hu Ye said indifferently: "It's easy, just cut a piece down." ”
"What?!" Copper Whisker was shocked and said: "This gold bar is simply a work of art, you actually want to cut off a piece, this is a crime!" ”
Hu Ye cried and laughed: "How can I pay the bill if I don't cut it down?" Besides, this kind of gold bar I have is, you just cut it! ”
The dwarf hesitated for a moment before he put the gold bar on the anvil and cut it off in half with his big axe: "That's enough, you can come tomorrow to get the goods." ”
"Okay." Hu Ye put away most of the remaining gold bars and left the blacksmith shop unhurriedly.
When Hu Ye walked away, Tongxu took out his small half gold bar again, and said with a regretful face: "It's a pity, such a beautiful work of art has been destroyed, it's really a waste!" ”
Hu Yecai didn't care what the dwarves thought, and then replaced the three war horses with six horses in the market. For the current Baishi Village, the role of the war horse is not great. On the contrary, it is the horses that can help the villagers do a lot of work, and they are urgently needed materials at present.
In the end, Hu Ye bought two carts of wheat from the grain merchant. According to Hammond, there is enough wheat for everyone to eat until next spring, and they will not have to worry about going hungry all winter.
That night, Hu Ye and Hammond spent the night at the inn in Shining Gold, and the next day they went to the copperbeard blacksmith shop, where they found that the dwarves had already prepared all the goods.
Needless to say, the dwarven iron-striking skills were all first-class, which made Hu Ye very satisfied.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Hu Ye smiled and said to Tongxu: "If I need other tools in the future, I will definitely come to you again!" ”
The customer's affirmation also made Copperbeard very happy, and laughed loudly: "Come on, the dwarven craftsmanship will not disappoint you!" ”
Because there were too many goods, Hu Ye bought three more carts and drove them back to Baishi Village with a pull.
This trip to Shanjin Town was very fruitful, and after returning home, he could mine white amphibole on a large scale, which made Hu Ye feel very good. But what he didn't know was that he was already being targeted.
