Chapter 015: Can You Lift It?
Hua Sitong carried a large burden and went out of the city lord's mansion to the best blacksmith shop in the city.
The blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop seemed to be a little girl, and they were wearing tattered dresses, so they did not say hello, and continued to laugh and chat.
The ironware in the blacksmith shop is very exquisite, indicating that the blacksmiths are very skilled in their workmanship, and Hua Sitong asked, "How much silver does it cost to make four three-edged arrows out of iron in your shop?" ”
The blacksmiths in the shop ignored her.
Hana Si Tong had expected the blacksmiths' reaction.
The status of women in this world is low, the reason is that most women have to rely on men to survive, and if they do not have a noble identity, nor do they have the identity of a warrior, an awakened master, or a spirit master, they are often looked down upon by men, and even think that women are not qualified to talk to them face-to-face.
What's more, in order not to attract the attention of others, she changed into the tattered dress she wore yesterday, and the blacksmiths will think that she has no money, and they will ignore her.
Just when Hua Sitong was about to change the blacksmith shop, the young man standing in the corner of the ironwork said: "Twenty taels of silver to make a three-edged arrow, four arrows cost eighty taels, but this is only the material cost of making a three-edged arrow, you also need to pay another twenty taels to the blacksmith, a total of one hundred taels of silver." ”
One hundred taels is exactly the price in Hua Sitong's heart, which is why she asked the storyteller for two hundred taels, of which one hundred taels is used to make arrows.
Hua Sitong looked at the young man, then at the dagger made of iron tungsten in his hand, and asked, "Do you have iron tungsten in your store?" How much silver is needed to make four triangular arrows out of iron tungsten? ”
Ferro-tungsten is harder than ordinary iron and must be more expensive than iron.
The young man replied very patiently, and did not underestimate her because she was a girl: "Ferro-tungsten is more expensive, the material cost of one arrow is 1,000 taels of silver, the cost of building is 200 silver, and the cost of four arrows is 4,800 taels." ”
Hua Sitong only has two hundred taels on her, which is definitely not enough silver to buy ferro-tungsten, but she will soon have money.
She turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop, but before she had gone far, she heard a blacksmith in the blacksmith say: "Lan Feng, she is just a little girl without silver, what do you want her to do?" ”
Lan Bong?
It's a familiar name.
Hua Sitong looked back at the blacksmith shop plaque that read, 'Craftsman Furnace Ironshop', and then carefully recalled the content of "Chengshenlu".
That's right.
In the plot of "Chengshenlu", it is described that three years later, the Wudu Kingdom will hold an iron competition in the imperial city, and the person who can become the final winner will win the title of blacksmith king.
The male protagonist takes an opportunistic approach to help his friend win.,And in the end, he fought with his friend.,Defeat to his friend's person is called Lan Feng.。
In fact, in the original work, that is, the male protagonist has not yet crossed into the plot before "Chengshenlu", the person who won in the end was Lan Feng, and it was the male protagonist who changed the plot, causing Lan Feng to collapse, and rarely appeared in the novel again.
Before this, the original male protagonist had intended to win over Lan Feng as early as a year ago, but Lan Feng always felt that the male protagonist was trying to him, so he had been unable to have a deep friendship with the male owner, and the male protagonist noticed that Lan Feng had always maintained an ordinary friend relationship with him, so he had to change his goal, so that the person who lost to Lan Feng in the original book became his good friend, and helped the person who had lost to Lan Feng to achieve victory.
Hua Sitong sneered in her heart, now that she is here, it is difficult to say who the title of blacksmith king will fall on.
Lan Feng smiled: "The shopkeeper once told us that we can't underestimate any guest who comes in, even if the guest is a woman, even if the guest is dressed in tatters, he must be entertained, maybe this person is likely to be a rich man." ”
"It varies from person to person. A rich man pretends to be poor, and he can tell whether he is rich or not by his ruddy face or strong body. If you look at the little girl just now, she is as thin as a stick, which shows that she is so poor that she has no food to eat, how can she have the money to strike iron. The blacksmith had a point.
Lan Feng didn't want to offend the blacksmith, so he said with a smile: "Brother Ah Xiang is right, I also talked to the little girl because of her strange and pitiful appearance." ”
"Hmph, don't waste time answering these poor ghosts in the future, if you have time, you might as well spend it on iron."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Hearing this, Hua Sitong walked into the medicinal herb shop opposite.
The shopkeeper in the pharmacy seemed to be a thin little girl in a tattered dress, and suddenly she had no intention of entertaining, and she didn't even want to deal with her. However, there was no business in the store in the first place, and if the customers were driven away, the store would be deserted, so he lazily asked: "Little girl, do you want to buy medicine?" ”
Hua Sitong put the big burden on his body in front of him: "Do you want to collect herbs?" ”
"The little girl has herbs?" The shopkeeper suddenly came to his senses, and immediately stood up and asked, "I don't know what kind of herb it is?" ”
"Corns."
Corn grass is a good thing, it can cure wind, cold, fever and cough, so the best herbs sold in the cold winter are corn grass, and now the pharmacy is also the most lacking of this herb.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "How many do you have?" ”
Hua Sitong patted the burden: "So much." ”
The shopkeeper saw that the burden weighed at least ten pounds: "How to sell it?" ”
Hua Sitong stretched out a finger and said, "One thousand taels and one catty." ”
It sounds like a loss, after all, Li Qingning is willing to spend a thousand taels to buy five taels of corns, but Li Qingning bought dried corns.
Sun-dried herbs are lighter and have a big difference in price from those that haven't been sun-dried.
The shopkeeper calculated in his heart that the price that the little girl said was one hundred taels more expensive than the price he had purchased before, but now it was the time when there was a shortage of medicine, and it was not a big problem to be only one hundred taels more expensive, but he still deliberately looked embarrassed and said: "Little girl, we used to buy only nine hundred taels of silver, you see ......"
"No, if you don't want it, I'll go to another pharmacy." Hua Sitong could see through his thoughts from his expression, not to mention that the herbs were scarce now, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell them.
When the shopkeeper heard that she was leaving, he hurriedly said, "I want it, I want it." ”
Hana Sitong pushed the burden over.
The shopkeeper immediately opened the bag and checked it, and after confirming that it was corns, he took it and weighed it: "Girl, it's ten catties and three taels in total." ”
Hua Sitong asked, "Do you have any cash in your store?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned: "I only have six thousand taels of silver in my store." ”
"I only need five thousand taels of silver, and the rest will be exchanged for silver tickets."
The shopkeeper was embarrassed: "Little girl, five thousand taels of silver weighs more than three hundred catties, are you sure you want five thousand taels of silver?" Can you lift it? ”
"You just said that my herbs have ten catties and three taels, and the money for the three taels of herbs should be the money for you to find someone to help me carry the silver, how about it?" Hua Sitong thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, the place where it was sent is not far away, and it won't go out of the city." ”
The shopkeeper replied, "Okay, I don't know where the girl is going?" ”
The corners of Hua Sitong's lips raised: "Send it to ...... for me"
A moment later, the man from the pharmacy walked towards the blacksmith opposite with two large boxes of silver.
