Chapter 36 Transaction {2}
"A few of you came to see that these weapons were made of fine steel." When the bearded stall owner saw Shen Chen come to his stall, he hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced his goods.
Looking at the weapons on the ground, most of them are sword shapes, and a very small number of them are wild. Although these weapons are not pretty, they can be seen from the blades that glow with cold light, and the sharpness of these weapons can be seen.
"Wow!"
On the side, Li Jun looked at a knife in the shape of a dog-legged knife on the stall and couldn't help but exclaim. On the black hilt, there is a nearly half-meter-long knife blade, the blade is bent downward, the back of the knife is half a finger thick, and the knife edge emits a faint cold light, which looks full of deterrence.
Li Jun grabbed the dog-legged knife on the ground and turned it upside down, feeling very comfortable, and he couldn't put it down when he touched the polished and smooth blade.
The bearded stall owner looked at the dog-legged knife in Li Jun's hand with a reluctant face, and introduced: "This dog-legged knife took me several days of hard work to complete, it was originally intended to be used by myself, it was made of imitation of Nepalese scimitar, this knife is top-heavy, wide in front and narrow in the back, thick back and thin blade, and the power is concentrated in the front part of the knife when slashing, which has the lethality of the axe, which is very suitable for hand-to-hand combat and slashing."
I made some improvements on the basis of the original, the back of the knife was thickened from the original thickness of one centimeter on the basis of three kung fu, the length of the whole knife was also lengthened to seventy centimeters, the total weight of more than four catties, these improvements are to deal with zombies, after all, the original knife is too short, it is easy to be scratched by zombies when killing zombies, and after improvement, you don't need to be close to zombies for too long, you can play a role.
And I made a special treatment at the handle, which made the whole knife evenly proportioned, and it was effortless to use, and if it weren't for my daughter's illness, I wouldn't have taken it out and sold it. ”
Hearing the bearded man's explanation, Li Jun had a soft spot for this knife and looked at Shen Chen with envy.
"Hmmm! Boss, you say a price! Shen Chen saw that Li Jun liked it so much, and he had planned to buy weapons for a few of them, so since he liked it, he would replace it.
Turning his head, he said to the rest of the people: "You guys also pick one, just use it for self-defense!" ”
Seeing that Shen Chen had counted himself, Sun Bairen hurriedly thanked him, rushed to the stall, and chose his favorite weapon. Zhao Xiaoqian and Li Xue also provoked their self-defense weapons with great interest.
The bearded stall owner saw that Shen Chen was the head of these people, so he walked over with a smile and said: "This friend, my name is Xu Keqiang, everyone calls me Lao Xu, these things are all polished by me, but unfortunately there is no furnace here, otherwise you can use these steels to create weapons that are both beautiful and durable?" ”
Shen Chen came to ask with interest, "What did my brother do before?" ”
The bearded man pointed to his chest, and saw that the words "W City Cadre Sword Factory" were written on it. "I used to work here as a foundry."
Shen Chen suddenly turned out to be a swordsmith before, no wonder he was able to make so many swords.
Seeing that Sun Bairen and Zhao Xiaoqian had already picked out their weapons, he said to the bearded stall owner: "How can this dog-legged knife and those few be sold in total?" ”
"A big knife, two daggers, you can give twenty steamed buns or four catties of rice, but that dogleg knife needs to be exchanged for half a catty of meat." The bearded man saw that the business was done, and spoke.
Meat? Shen Chen and the others looked at each other a little, they still wanted to eat meat, where to find meat now, even if they could find meat, it would have been rotten a long time ago, and it was strange that Shen Chen and they didn't encounter a single animal that could run along the way.
So Shen Chen said: "Brother, you are not wrong! Where do I go to get meat?
The bearded man looked embarrassed, and waited for a day to finally wait for a guest, but they chose the dogleg knife, he originally planned to use this knife in exchange for some fever medicine for his daughter, but for two days in a row did not see some medicine out of the stall.
Only then did he retreat and plan to change some meat and replenish his daughter's body, hoping that his condition would improve.
"Hey~!" The bearded man sighed and explained: "The eldest brother is not the elder brother, I don't want to change, it's really my daughter who is very sick, and now she can't move while lying in bed, it's like getting some meat for stew, I hope she can get better, or you can change it if you have medicine for fever." ”
Shen Chen frowned, what suddenly came to mind?
"Brother borrows a step to speak!"
Hearing Shen Chen's words, the bearded man hesitated, but followed Shen Chen to a place where there were relatively few people.
"I don't have meat, brother, I know the purpose of your meat change is to replenish your daughter's body, although I don't have what you want, but I have something here that is specifically used to supplement nutrition."
Hearing Shen Chen say that he had items that supplemented nutrition, the bearded man suddenly came to his senses.
"Oh~! If it's true, it's okay to trade, I don't know what you're talking about? ”
Shen Chen leaned into his ear and whispered two words, the bearded man's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he grabbed Shen Chen's hand excitedly and held it hard.
"Really?"
Shen Chen nodded, and pulled out the painful hand that he had pinched.
The bearded man crossed his hands in a prayer gesture and paced back and forth, he knew the value of this thing in the present, and thought in his heart about the range that Shen Chen could accept.
Finally, the bearded man stood still, walked to Shen Chen's side and said softly: "One-third, I only need one-third, and the dogleg knife will be given to you." ”
Shen Chen shook his head with a smile, seeing that the bearded man was a little disappointed, and was about to make a counteroffer when he was interrupted by Shen Chen's words.
"I'll give you half! How about you owe me a favor? ”
Hearing Shen Chen's words, the bearded man didn't even think about agreeing, and he was very happy to see him agreeing to Shen Chen. After all, the bearded man's skills will definitely be of great use in the future, and it is worth selling him a favor now.
Before the two returned to the stall, the bearded man handed the dogleg knife to Li Jun, who took the knife and looked at Shen Chen incredulously, not understanding how he was comfortable with the beard. After all, the bearded man's tone just now was very tight, and he looked like he didn't change his meat.
Shen Chen smiled at him, walked to Zhao Xiaoqian's side and whispered a few words to her, Zhao Xiaoqian nodded, took off the backpack on her body and tinkered with it, while Shen Chen called everyone to come around to block the sight of passers-by.
After a few moments, Zhao Xiaoqian put the backpack on her back, stood up and handed Shen Chen two bags.
Taking the bag, Shen Chen walked to the bearded man and handed the two bags to him, the bearded man looked at the contents of the two bags, and couldn't help but tears rolling in his eyes.
It turned out that Shen Chen not only gave him milk powder, but also gave him rice for several other weapons.
"Boss, what's your name, I Lao Xu has written down this kindness, and I will definitely repay it in the future!"
"My name is Shen Chen, his name is Li Jun, the eldest of these two girls is called Zhao Xiaoqian, the younger is called Li Xue, and this is my neighbor and guide Sun Bairen."
Shen Chen explained everyone to the bearded man, and the bearded man nodded to them one by one.
