Chapter 147: It's Not a Gift
Ning Changrong didn't have any opinion on exchanging food with others with a crossbow, after all, these were the resources they could get their hands on right now.
In this world, weapons and food are the most important things.
"We have limited conditions there, and the manpower is not so fast for the time being, so I am afraid that it is not possible to come up with a large number of crossbows in a short period of time."
Ning Qingxi already knew this answer, "Then let's sell them the drawings, right?" But we can't afford to run out of food. With this crossbow, they have one more weapon of war on the battlefield. Although it is only a single shot, the armor-piercing power is very good. She is very confident in this, after all, she developed it herself.
After saying this, Ning Qingxi was actually a little reluctant.
But in fact, just like she said to Fu Linjun, although it is an excuse, it is also one of the truths, even if their number does not increase, but in winter, it is indeed more difficult to find food in the mountains, and it is impossible to say anything about hunting.
Although they also have some things that can be filled, such as pumpkins, there is still a difference between whether it is serious food or not.
And in winter, their work cannot be stopped, and the food consumed is massive.
Forget it, the encyclopedia in her head still has a lot of drawings anyway.
The father and daughter reached an agreement, and when Chang Yuan sent someone to find them, the two went to Chang Yuan's study together, and Fu Linjun was also there.
After the banquet, Fu Linjun had already relayed what Ning Qingxi had said to her to Chang Yuan.
Grain can be sold to each other, after all, they owe such a great favor to others.
But when they were given this food, they owed nothing more to each other.
Chang Yuan watched the father and daughter come in, and he was not surprised, he had already heard Chang Wencheng and Fu Linjun say that Ning Qingxi, a little girl, was unusual.
Before Chang Yuan could speak, Ning Changrong took the lead in speaking after saluting, "General Chang, compared to you, you already know the purpose of our coming to Taizhou Mansion. I heard my daughter mention that Wen Cheng wanted to exchange crossbows with us. ”
Chang Yuan nodded.
Ning Changrong pulled out his waist and handed over the single-shot crossbow he had taken from Ning Da Niu and them.
Chang Yuan watched the other party's movements on his waist, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously stood in front of Fu Linjun, and after the other party handed over the crossbow, his tense spirit recovered.
Fu Linjun smiled and played a round game, "My husband Jun has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and he will inevitably be a little nervous when he sees the weapon, and please Brother Ning not be surprised." ”
Ning Changrong shook his head, "Mrs. Fu, don't be polite, I don't care." ”
After a pause, seeing that Chang Yuan had already begun to play with the crossbow carefully, Ning Changrong continued: "The thing in General Chang's hand is the light and portable hand crossbow, I know that the current price of food is high, and it is not easy to buy, we are willing to use the production drawings of this crossbow to exchange food with General Chang, the benefits of this crossbow must have been told to you by Wen Cheng, but hearing is false, seeing is believing." General Chang can try it himself. ”
Chang Yuan looked at the delicate and small crossbow in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, if the power was really as powerful as his nephew said, then it would be completely their earning to exchange some food for the other party.
It's just that in this way, the kindness between the two can't be directly offset.
After all, this is a serious transaction, not a gift.
"Okay, please also ask Brother Ning and Little Miss Ning to go to the barracks with me."
Ning Changrong and Ning Qingxi are indispensable.
The four of them went to the barracks together, and the generals in the army who heard about it came over one after another to join in the fun.
Ma Honglin stood not far from the four of them, faintly guarding.
"Lao Lu, can this huge bed crossbow really shrink so small?"
Lu Cui squinted his eyes, looking at the crossbow in Chang Yuan's hand, his heart felt like a stormy wave.
When General Chang Xiao came to him to study how to shrink the huge intrusion into an arm-sized hand crossbow, he still felt a little fantastical.
If it weren't for the other party's firm tone, he wouldn't have accompanied him to do that experiment, but the final result was still a failure.
Lu Cui shook his head, "I don't know, let's take a look first." ”
Chang Yuan was under the watchful eye, and after pulling the trigger, the arrow "swished" onto the target in the distance.
Chang Yuan swept the crossbow in his hand, squinted his eyes, adjusted the distance, loaded the arrow, and fired it again.
"Whoosh!"
This time it's right in the bull's-eye!
"The general is mighty!"
After Wang Hanting saw the place where the arrow was shooting, he raised his left arm and took the lead in shouting.
The rest of the onlookers echoed, "The general is mighty!" ”
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Lu Cui stood in front of the bull's-eye, stunned and motionless.
I didn't expect that there were people outside the world, and there were really people who could shrink that huge bed crossbow so small!?
He couldn't wait to walk in front of Chang Yuan, "General, I don't know if you can let me see this crossbow?" ”
Chang Yuan suddenly laughed, "You can't ask me, this thing is this little girl." ”
Lu Cui's eyes were shocked, the little girl Chang Wencheng told him was actually real? How young can you be?
But he didn't show any contempt in his eyes, but was very respectful, regarded the other party as a senior, and saluted respectfully, "Miss Ning, I don't know if I can borrow this crossbow to take a look?" ”
Lu Cui's actions really startled the people around him, they knew that this thing was powerful, but Lao Lu was also born in a family of craftsmen, and his ability was not bad, and he could even be said to be one of the top in the world. Most of the weapons in their army were crafted by the other side.
The people in the army respected him very much, but he was personally invited by General Chang, and if it weren't for his grandfather, General Chang, people would not have joined them at all.
I didn't expect such a capable person to respect the little girl so much, how could it not make them fall for granted?
Ning Qingxi looked at the person in front of him who was older than his father, and his face did not change, "Yes, if there is anything that you can't do, you can ask me at any time." ”
Wow, this little girl is extraordinary. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.
Lu Cui took the crossbow and carefully looked through its structure.
I couldn't help muttering to myself, "I see, that's how it is, it's what I want to do." ”
Lu Cui is also a family of craftsmen, and after getting the real thing, in addition to a few steps, the general principle is also known, if there are drawings, he can reproduce them completely.
I think that when his ancestors were alive, they were also blessed by the king, but later the status of craftsmen became lower and lower, and their lives became more and more difficult.
At this time, his eyes were full of light, and his expression became more and more excited.
couldn't help but look at Ning Qingxi and said, "Miss Ning is talented!" How can you come up with such an ingenious weapon! I don't know who I studied with? ”
Ning Qingxi's tone was steady, "I didn't worship anyone as a teacher, I inadvertently figured out these things. "No way, can't you say, she has a book in her head, these are all she saw from the book, right?
