Nanzhou Chapter 44 Dagger
The crescent moon breaks dusk.
The sword castle is brightly lit at night, and it is perfect for a walking tour after tea and dinner.
After four or five hours of shopping, Hua Wenxiang and his party still didn't go through all the streets of Sword City, and finally everyone decided to turn back to the street where there was the ancient stone giant sword, because the inn where Hua Wenxiang ideal spent the night was there.
When I arrived here, I found that a group of street vendors had changed, and the streets were completely new, and the major shops and restaurants were still overcrowded and extremely lively.
In the half day of wandering around, about Shan Xiongxin's birthday, Hua Wenxiang's ears were almost out of the cocoon, in addition to this matter, there is another thing that is also the biggest topic in the city today.
In the poor county of adobe county not far away, that is, the poor county opposite Fengcheng, almost all the officials of the entire county government died, and they died in a strange way, crying or laughing.
Hua Wenxiang guessed that this incident and the tragic death of Zhou Long's two brothers were caused by the same person, and the common point between the two seemed to be because they offended Watermelon Town?
However, Hua Wenxiang has a strong premonition, and the mysterious forces hidden behind this will appear in front of them sooner or later.
......
......
Near the ancient stone giant sword, there is a blacksmith shop of a large scale, the shop and the weapon shop next to it are one, Hua Wenxiang and his party once again observed the ancient stone giant sword, and then entered the weapon shop.
The store is full of dazzling, whether it is a hot weapon or a cold weapon, in addition to the weapons hanging all over the wall, there is also a treasure of the store, red flint.
One of the three divine stones in the world, although it is at the bottom, the price is still staggering.
Gold, 10,000 taels.
There is only one guy in the shop, the boss is black-hearted, no one wants to work in his place, the only guy is from the refugee area, if it weren't for the fact that the major shops in the city have already been full, the young guy would not want to do this unconscionable work.
However, although the shop where he works is black, it is also genuine.
Seeing people coming to the store, the young man had to come to greet him even if he was reluctant, he was not good at opening his mouth to let the customer go quickly, after all, no matter how small the salary was, the boss of the family did not force himself to work.
"Guests, please, the things in our store are the most complete in the Sword City Weapons Store, there is everything, if not, then you can also make an appointment to customize, the integrity of the store is the first, it is already a century-old brand, the quality of weapons is one of the best in the world, it is estimated that the whole world is the twelve weapons compared to the store, slightly better......"
The lad chattered and didn't seem to be interrupted, he could brag all night.
"I want a better dagger. Hua Wenxiang interrupted the young man's boastful words.
Every time he said this set of words, the young man was proud, and he memorized this set of words handed over by the black-hearted boss, and this memory is really not covered.
The young man motioned to Hua Wenxiang and his party to please, and he led the way forward and continued to boast, "There are the most daggers in the store, and there are all kinds of carved dragons and phoenixes." ”
The young man convinced himself that he had done his best, and if the customer didn't buy it again, he wouldn't blame himself.
The owner of the store always said that he was stupid and couldn't sell a few weapons in a month, which was all, and it was obvious that the items in the store were too expensive.
There is indeed a wall in the depths of the store that is full of all kinds of daggers, Xiong Hengye fell in love with a short dagger with a white blade and a black back at a glance, but as soon as he saw the price, the young man was a little embarrassed, twenty taels of silver.
And the prices of the daggers around him are also very expensive, Xiong Hengye has an urge not to buy them.
Tu Yuelian asked, "Can the price be cheaper?"
The young man looked at this good-looking woman and said apologetically: "The store is a small business, the price is clearly marked, and the price is not bargained, this is all stipulated by the boss, I really don't count it when I say it, please forgive me." ”
Tu Yuelian and Hei Qiu'er slandered the weapon store for being black, and Xiong Hengye said that he didn't buy it, and he had his own Beiyan long knife in the army, and it didn't matter if he had this dagger or not.
Hua Wenxiang looked at the price of a dagger, the price of this sword city is really expensive, but he promised Xiao Xiong, he will go to join the army again tomorrow morning, and it will be too late if he doesn't send it, Hua Wenxiang picked up the short dagger with a white blade and a black back, took out twenty taels of silver in exchange for money in the bank, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "I want this one." ”
The guy smiled sympathetically, it seems that he has encountered a wronged boss today, his own shop is the blackest weapon store in Sword City, and these people in front of him are outsiders.
Xiong Hengye was moved to tears, "Brother Hua......"
Hua Wenxiang said with a smile: "This farewell, I don't know when we will be able to meet, just to send you a good one." ”
The shopkeeper was about to put twenty taels of silver into his arms, when suddenly one person stopped him, "Brother Wang, isn't the boss of ......Qian Wu in the store?"
The person who came came with a blue robe and a wooden sword at his waist was Luo Bei, who had previously taught young children to "learn swords".
Hua Wenxiang and several people looked at each other, and no one knew this handsome man.
The young man surnamed Wang seemed to see hope, returned the money, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, Boss Qian is settling accounts in the back room, I'll go shout." ”
As a single-city doctrine, Luo Bei will come here every day to see weapons, only look at them and not buy them, and often help outsiders bargain, no matter how black-hearted the boss is, he doesn't dare not give Luo Bei face, how much it will be cheaper, and the few weapons sold every month are almost all reluctantly sold by Luo Bei to help buyers bargain with Boss Qian.
After a while, a short and fat old man with a jade abacus walked out of the house slowly, and when he saw Luo Bei in the store, he immediately smiled, "Master Luo, why did you come to the store so late today." ”
Seeing the few people next to him, the boss named Qian Wu's face suddenly smiled a little. My eldest prince Luo, how many friends do you have, for the sake of your face, I don't know how much money I have lost in this shop.
Shan Xiongxin and Luo Bei, the father and son with different surnames, are not annoying in Sword City no matter what, they are no longer obsessed with money, and they also know the severity, offending their father and son, and their weapons shop and blacksmith shop will not be able to open in Sword City.
The dignified-looking Luo Bei smiled: "No matter how late it is, I have to come here to say hello to Boss Qian." Boss Qian, these are my friends, I want to buy a dagger, you see ......"
Hua Wenxiang looked at Luo Bei suspiciously, and the latter kept giving them a look and signaling not to speak.
Qian Wu, who loves money all his life, said tentatively: "Nine folds?"
"Fifty percent off, Boss Qian, you make less money, and I'll help you introduce more people over when you go back." ”
Qian Wu said distressedly: "Eighty fold." ”
Luo Bei skillfully counteroffered: "Six folds." ”
Qian Wu said firmly: "Seven folds." ”
Luo Bei accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Deal." ”
A dagger of twenty taels was finally sold for fourteen taels.
Luo Bei asked as usual: "Boss Qian, can you sell that red flint stone for 10,000 taels of silver?"
Qian Wu said bitterly: "You asked me again, I really can't sell it at this price, otherwise I will have to go to my grandmother's house at a loss." ”
Luo Bei quipped: "Boss Qian is really funny, how can you still have a grandmother when you are old." It's okay if you don't sell this red flint for 10,000 taels of silver, but you have to keep it for me, and I'll come and get it when I save enough money one day. ”
The cunning Qian Wu thought that even if I wanted to sell this red flint, no one would buy it, and it had been dusty in the store for more than ten years, so Qian Wu pushed the boat smoothly and said with a smile: "Certainly, definitely." ”
Hua Wenxiang couldn't help but interject with everyone's doubts, "How is that red stone worth ten thousand taels of gold? ”
Qian Wu looked at him with an expression on his face, but there was no sign that he was about to speak.
Luo Bei also had some questions, is there anyone in this world who doesn't know the red flint? But seeing the displeasure on Qian Wu's face, he immediately smiled and said: "Let's go first, don't delay Boss Qian's business, I'll tell you on the way." ”
Qian Wu and the little guy surnamed Wang watched Luo Bei and their departure together, and finally the witty young man didn't forget to say, "Welcome guests next time." ”
Out of the store, Hua Wenxiang thanked her, "I don't know why the little brother wants to help us?"
Luo Bei said lightly: "Do it." ”
Then he said: "The red stone you asked just now is one of the three divine stones in the world, called the red flint, and there are two above it, named fluorite and fairy sea stone, it stands to reason that you should know, but you don't practice martial arts, and it is very likely that you will not be able to contact this kind of martial arts treasure, these three divine stones are all treasures that help improve the realm, I haven't broken the soul yet, I don't need the red flint stone first, so let Boss Qian keep it for me." The one in his shop was of average quality, marked with 10,000 taels of gold, but it was actually worth about 7,000 taels of gold. Oh, by the way, my name is Luo Bei, a person from Sword City. ”
Xiong Hengye also thanked Luo Beidao for helping him, "My name is Xiong Hengye, and I am very happy to meet Brother Luo." ”
Hua Wenxiang, who was mistaken for an ordinary person, also introduced herself one by one, but the black ball on Tu Yuelian's shoulder forgot her sensitive identity and also said something.
Luo Bei, who had already seen the clues, immediately rejoiced: "I just said that this clothed cat is very strange, it turns out that it is really a powerful beast, you are so rich, I would not have helped you bargain if I knew it, and I owed the boss a favor again." ”
Everyone's faces changed slightly, where do they care about money or not, Hua Wenxiang said with a smile: "Can Brother Luo keep this matter secret, I'm afraid that Hei Qiu'er will expose the identity of the beast, which will cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Luo Bei straightened the wooden sword on his waist and deliberately let a few people see it, "Don't worry, my mouth is not so broken, I am busy practicing swords every day, and I don't have time to talk about these boring things." ”
Hua Wenxiang looked at this interesting man and said with a smile: "I am fortunate to meet Brother Luo today, we are about to eat, do you want to go together." ”
Luo Bei, who was self-cooked, was really polite, "Okay, where are we going?" I know a hot pot restaurant is very good, affordable and delicious, let's go there?"
Hei Qiu'er couldn't help but ask, "What is a hot pot?"
Tu Yuelian and Xiong Hengye knew, but they hadn't eaten it.
The curious Hua Wenxiang said: "Just listen to Brother Luo, let's go eat hot pot." ”
