Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Opening of the Divine Sword Workshop
readx;
A month later, a new swordsmithing workshop will open in the official market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Sword Forge is located at the end of the official market, and although the location is not too good, the flow of people is also quite a lot. On the plaque of the Sword Casting Workshop, there are three gilded characters of dragons flying and phoenix dancing: "Shenjian Fang". Although he was brilliant and magnanimous, Su Dengxiao always felt that this style was a bit too exaggerated, which did not conform to Su Qi's always calm and low-key character.
Su Qi just smiled slightly: "There are more exaggerated ones." ”
The next couplet at the door made the little fat man even more dumbfounded, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Shanglian: "The sword is natural, and there is no one before." ”
The next link: "Sharpen iron like clay, and there is no one to come!"
The couplet is neither rhyming nor elegant, but is written in a beautiful seal style. Su Dengxiao had a bitter gourd face: "Su Qi, do you really think that someone will come to this kind of store? This couplet, as well as these decorations, is clearly to tell others, 'This is a nouveau riche shop'." Moreover, 'there is no one before and no one after you', this is too much, and you are not afraid of attracting hatred?"
Su Qi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's not over yet." ”
As he spoke, he put up another sign in the doorway.
"Our store is newly opened, and all Excalibur will be sold at 50% off!"
"Our shop accepts customized services to tailor the best blade for each practitioner, and no longer worry about fit!"
"A unique sword, a unique choice, to give you noble and luxurious aristocratic services!"
Su Dengxiao looked at this billboard, and was a little speechless for a while, not knowing what Su Qi was doing.
"Alright, let's go in and take a look at the blades. After Su Qi finished speaking, he pulled Su Dengxiao into the Divine Sword Workshop.
There were only seven or eight swords on the counter, all of which had been made by Luo Ping and a few apprentices day and night in the past month. These apprentices were slaves bought by Luo Ping, and after coming to the Sword Workshop, they heard that they could be fed and clothed, and they could learn the art of sword casting, and they were all enthusiastic, and they worked harder than Luo Ping.
As for the style of these swords, they were all Su Qi's ideas. Luo Ping was also a little skeptical that this would work, but since the money was made by Su Qi, he had to give it a try with suspicion.
These swords are all very maverick, and they are different from all the swords you can see on the market. Some of them are three or four inches longer than ordinary long swords and weigh more than ten catties, while some are shorter than ordinary short swords; some are inlaid with gold and jade, and there are several shining night pearls on their scabbards; some look tattered and tattered, and there are traces of deliberate aging everywhere.
I don't know, I thought these swords were bought from many people to make up the numbers. Su Dengxiao looked at these swords, and then thought of the signs and couplets at the door, and couldn't help but have deep worries about the future of the Sword Workshop.
"Don't worry, you big shopkeeper just sit at the counter and count the money, and take a good look at how I sell swords. ”
After Su Qi finished speaking, he stood at the door, waiting for the guests to come.
Everything was ready, and in a short time, the official market opened. Many people came to the door of the Shenjian Fang with the mentality of idleness, and when they saw these gilded characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, they all laughed when they saw this bullshit braggart couplet, and then looked at the sign at the door.
"This is which eyeless nouveau riche has opened a new swordsmithing workshop, and his tone is so loud that he is not afraid of flashing his tongue?"
"The sword is natural, there is no one before, sharpening iron is like clay, and there is no one after it! Tsk, this breath is really big, what a person Master Ouye, he doesn't dare to let out such cruel words, I don't know who the swordsmith here is?"
"And this sign is also quite interesting, as soon as it opens, you dare to fold it all, this can't be a broken jar, right? Also, all the blades are tailor-made, this is too whimsical, right?"
The storefront gimmick soon attracted a large crowd of onlookers, all of whom stood at the door, pointing at the couplets and signs, all watching the excitement, but none of them entered the Excalibur to see what blades were.
"Su Qi, the situation is not good. Although it attracted a lot of people, they didn't seem to be interested in the blades we sold at all?" said Su Dengxiao worriedly.
"Don't worry, you just wait, and in a moment these people will rush in. Su Qi said confidently.
Su Dengxiao looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
After less than a quarter of an hour, the entrance of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was already crowded with many onlookers on the inside and outside of the three floors. At this moment, a shout sounded from the back of the crowd: "Everyone, let go, let go, Tian Yougongzi and a few friends came to pick up the sword, please enjoy the light and let the way out——"
"What's it?" The crowd was in an uproar, and they split a road in an instant. The little guy led the way, and Tian You, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, hung a long sword at his waist, walked through the crowd with great energy, and walked directly towards the sword casting workshop. Behind him, there were several middle-aged people who looked like wealthy businessmen, all dressed in gold and jade, with bulging money bags, and there were talking and laughing along the way.
"Shaodong Tian Yu of the Tian Clan Trading Company actually came to pick up the sword in person? Am I not mistaken?"
"It's not just Tian Gongzi, you see, isn't that Boss Lu, the big shopkeeper of Feng Lin Xuan?"
"Hiss-that's the boss Chu of Jibei Trading Company!"
"There is also Shopkeeper Liu of Wangque Pavilion! Shopkeeper Li of Mingyue Tower!"
The crowd was frightened. If there is only one Tian You, it is just that, but the people who followed Tian You are all among the richest businessmen in the business community of Zhaowu City, and so many big businessmen appear in the official market at the same time, this kind of scene is simply rare in a hundred years.
"What is the origin of the owner of this Excalibur Workshop?" everyone present couldn't help but have such thoughts.
A few onlookers wanted to follow these rich businessmen in, but the little guy next to Tian You stopped at the door and stopped a few of them: "I'm sorry everyone, my son-in-law doesn't like to rob people when he buys things, so in order to apologize, he deliberately sprinkled 100,000 copper coins at the door, and I hope to bear with you for the inconvenience it has caused." ”
After speaking, the guy behind the little guy took out a large wooden box, which was full of copper coins. The two men stood on the steps in front of the store and began to wave copper coins at the crowd of onlookers below.
One hundred thousand copper coins is only equivalent to ten gold, and to Tian You and Su Qi, it is just a matter of a meal. But for so many copper coins, it is quite conspicuous in terms of visual effects, and those rich sons disdain to rob them, so naturally there will be hawkers and civilians to rob them. The crowd began to grab money in an uproar, and the scene was very lively.
"Tian Gongzi is such a big shelf, and it's just like this when the king goes out on patrol today, right? With such a swagger, Tian Gongzi is not afraid of causing trouble to Tian's trading company?" a rich boy couldn't stand it, and said sneeringly.
