Looking at the painful appearance of the shopkeeper Hao, Mo Lin'er couldn't help but laugh.

Su Qi arched his hand at Mo Lin'er: "Please ask Miss Lin'er to lend me ten gold, and I will pay it back within a month." ”

Mo Lin'er was surprised: "What, what? You don't even have ten gold on you? And you want to ask me to borrow money from a girl's family? ”

"Ahem, the Su family's monthly salary is only thirty sword coins, and I really don't have any money left. Su Qi's expression was very frank, "Besides, last time you made a lot of money by betting in my name, you have to let me get rid of it." ”

“...... You guy, you're really thick-skinned. Mo Lin'er shook her head helplessly, untied the money bag around her waist, took out a piece of gold cake and handed it to Su Qi.

Su Qi took the gold cake and handed it to the shopkeeper Hao, who hurriedly put it away and put it in the money bag, as if he was afraid that Su Qi would regret it. He was about to take out the gold coins from his money bag to make change, but Su Qi held his hand.

"Shopkeeper Hao, the remaining two gold are of other uses. Could you please let me know and ask the swordsmith who made this jade-encrusted sword to make me another sharkskin sheath?"

"Uh, it's no problem, it's just that the scabbard is easy to make, and the two gold is a bit much, so you can ask Master Fan Long to make it himself." Shopkeeper Hao reminded.

"It doesn't matter. Su Qi waved his hand, "I like the scabbard of this jade-inlaid sword very much, just let that Fan Long master's senior disciple continue to do it according to this quality." ”

"Okay, I'll supervise well. Shopkeeper Hao nodded hurriedly, "I promise to let him play at a super level and make the most convenient scabbard for you......!"

Su Qi untied the "hidden edge" from behind: "According to the size of this sword, you can do it, but as long as it is half a sheath, let the swordsmith play it by himself, I won't interfere much." ”

Shopkeeper Hao looked at the "Zangfeng" in Su Qi's hand, rubbed his hands and said, "Cough, I've been wanting to ask since just now, is this a sword embryo? Is Gongzi interested in letting Master Fan Long build it for you? As for the price, everything is easy to say." ”

Su Qi smiled: "That's not necessary. Actually, it's just a piece of iron, and I'm only carrying it with me because it's a commemorative thing, so I don't need to spend all this unnecessary expense. ”

"Yes, yes, it's up to you. Wait a minute, I'll measure it for you. Shopkeeper Hao took out a measuring tape from behind the counter, carefully measured the size of "Zangfeng", engraved the detailed data on a special wooden plaque, and then divided the wooden plaque into two, and handed over half of the wooden plaque engraved with the words of Shenbing Pavilion to Su Qi.

"This is our voucher for pick-up, you take it. You can pick it up in 10 days. ”

Su Qi took the wooden card and put it in his arms, and asked, "Can I take this jade-inlaid sword with me?"

"Of course, please. Shopkeeper Hao nodded hurriedly, "Actually, there are some other blades in this store, is Childe still interested in taking a look?"

"I'll talk about it next time. We still have something to do, so let's take our leave. Su Qi carried the jade sword and "Zangfeng" side by side behind him, and led Su Dengxiao and Mo Lin'er to turn around and say goodbye.

Shopkeeper Hao kept delivering it to the door of the store, still waving his hand enthusiastically: "Childe, next month the Divine Soldier Pavilion will produce another batch of new swords, please be sure to enjoy the light and come to cheer!"

After walking far away, Mo Lin'er finally couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

Su Dengxiao was still confused, and asked, "What's wrong, how do you two feel like you've taken advantage of something?"

Mo Lin'er said: "I'm just laughing, Shopkeeper Hao has always been extremely shrewd, but today he was like a stupid melon, and he was put on a swing by Su Qi." It is estimated that he still hasn't figured out what is going on, and he thinks that he has taken a big advantage and sold a waste sword that no one wants. ”

"Really, isn't this sword a waste sword? Su Qi, tell me what the hell is going on. Su Dengxiao hurriedly asked.

"This sword is a dead sword in the eyes of most people, but not to me. Su Qi explained, "Actually, it is normal for Shopkeeper Hao to think that no one will use this sword, because this sword is a sword that subverts the casting concept of the previous generation. ”

"How do you say that, what kind of subversion?" asked Su Dengxiao curiously.

"The use of jade and silver into the sword is also recorded in the previous sword-casting method, but there are not many. Because jade and silver are extremely fragile materials, they are easily damaged when two swords collide. However, the reason for using jade and silver into the sword was also written in the previous sword-casting method, that is, these two materials are extremely conducive to the conduction of true yuan. ”

"Many swordsmiths have tried and failed, and the biggest difficulties are two. One is the design of the sword body, the sword body is too wide or too narrow, which will make the sword easy to break, and the line of the sword blade also has certain requirements. The second is the casting process, when casting the sword embryo and the inlaid jade and silver plating, all require extremely mature techniques. It takes not only experience, but also talent. ”

"Due to the fact that the swordsmiths failed too many times in the past, 'gold, silver and jade cannot enter the sword' has become an unspoken rule of the swordsmiths, and even many people have gradually forgotten the original intention of using gold, silver and jade into the sword, and only dogmatically remember this criterion, so the shopkeeper Hao will despise this sword so much. ”

Su Dengxiao exclaimed: "Awesome, it's good to read more books." But how can you be sure that this sword is well made?"

"With real yuan, of course. I tested it with the True Yuan very early on, and found that from the blade to the hilt, the True Yuan was unimpeded and evenly distributed, which shows that the sword is very clever in its jade and silver plating technique, and there is no problem. Su Qi replied.

"Hey, you're really slippery. If Boss Hao hears our conversation, he must be repentant. You will earn at least twenty gold from him. Mo Lin'er smiled.

"He was the one who deceived me first. The cost of this sword is only about 20 gold, and he actually said that the cost price is 30 gold, since this is the case, I lied to him for 10 gold and asked him to cut the flesh. Su Qi smiled, "Moreover, I don't think this shopkeeper Hao is a good thing, so I won't show him mercy." ”

"Hmm, how can this be seen?" Mo Lin'er was a little surprised.

"Shopkeeper Hao said that this sword was forged by a disciple of their chief swordsmith, Fan Long. Now it seems that this disciple's sword-forging skills are extremely high, and he has put a lot of effort into this sword, but this swordsmith did not explain to Shopkeeper Hao, but allowed Shopkeeper Hao to misunderstand. What does this mean? It shows that this swordsmith does not trust Shopkeeper Hao, and does not want to explain it to him. From this, it can be inferred that the relationship between the two is not good. ”

"So this swordsmith is sending a signal to anyone who can understand his swordsmithing. Probably he had wanted to leave the Divine Weapon Pavilion a long time ago. Su Qi said.

"However, he is Fan Long's disciple, and Fan Long will not leave in the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Mo Lin'er said.

"It is precisely because he is a disciple of Fan Long that he has to leave the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Because Shopkeeper Hao relied too much on Fan Long, he would never have a bright day in the Divine Weapon Pavilion. ”

"Listen to you, interested in this young swordsmith?" Mo Lin'er asked.

"Of course. When my Su trading company opens, I will definitely poach him to do the blade business. Su Qi said.
