233 Weapon Shop
The two drank tea and chatted for a while. Wang Yanzhi copied a copy of the prescription to Li You. Li You looked at it and found that there were not many medicinal materials on the prescription. There were only six medicinal materials. He hadn't heard of Hua, but he knew that as long as he returned to Chang'an, found those drug dealers and paid high prices, it would not be difficult. The rest was luck.
After bidding farewell to Wang Yan, Li You walked out of the courtyard and went to the streets alone. The business was finished. He could wander around here and watch the bazaars in the northern city.
Not long after leaving, Li You saw a store selling weapons, and walked in after a moment of painstaking effort. This is an official weapons shop. In Datang, weapons are non-privately sold goods. Private casting or sale of weapons is strictly prohibited. Whenever you see such shops, they are definitely government-run.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are keen on martial arts, and there are many martial artists, so the number of weapons needed is naturally a lot. Therefore, the official establishment of weapons workshops and the sale of weapons can not only meet the needs of the people, but also create an income for the imperial court.
There are no people in the shop. Except for the two guests who are watching the sword, the rest are the staff and the treasurer in the shop. There are many types of weapons on the shelf, all of which can be chosen by customers. Li You took a long knife at will and tried it, knocking on the blade, the sound is very crisp, the quality is not bad, at least better than the southern The knives sold by those weapons shops in China are better.
Seeing Li You come in to choose a knife, the shopkeeper walked over and said with a smile: "Lang Jun has good eyesight. This knife is made by Youzhou Weapon Workshop, and it is much better than ordinary Weapon Workshop. Looks good, I'm cheaper because of the prince."
Li You smiled. He just came to have a look, and didn’t intend to buy it. Now when the shopkeeper asks, he can only say: “This knife is good, but I already have a better one. Yes, unless the treasurer has treasures here, I can buy them for fun. As long as they are good, the price is easy to say."
The shopkeeper's favorite is the outspoken customers. Hearing Li You's request, he didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to a buddy to whisper a few words, and the buddy went upstairs chokingly. This was something Li You didn't expect, he really didn't think there could be treasures here. New Bayi Chinese website first released https://https://
If the weapon is good, it depends on the material. It is better unless it is alloy. At this time, most of the steel is low-carbon steel or medium-carbon steel. Alloys are rarely seen. Even if there is, It was also by luck. Li You knew this very well in his heart.
It didn't take long for Li You to see the man walking down with two long knives and a sword. After talking to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper asked Li You to sit down, put the swords on the table, and said: "Langjun, this is a good product from the small shop, please let him take a look."
Li You first looked at the sword, which was very heavy in his hand, took out the sword body and looked at it, knocked again, and then said to the shopkeeper: "This sword is only average, if it weren't for the sword with a very thin layer of Grease, I'm afraid it's already rusted."
After that, Li You drew another long knife. This knife is better than the one I saw just now, but it's not much better. The third knife is only slightly different in shape from the Tang knife. The knives used by the Hu people, just like that, are not at all a treasure or a sword.
"The shopkeeper, you want to test my eyesight, you don't want to do my business at all, right?" Li You said to the shopkeeper after reading the sword.
The shopkeeper explained: "Lang Jun is misunderstood. I know that Lang Jun knows how good a weapon is. How can I deceive him with this? I really think that these three swords are all superior. This is why people took it out. Who You don’t look down on Zhilangjun."
Li You didn't say much, but asked again: "The shopkeeper, is there any better here?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Lang Jun has a high vision. The small shop really doesn't have a better sword. I hope that Lang Jun will include it.
"It's okay, treasure swords or swords are not so easy to find." Li You said and got up, planning to leave.
At this moment, a young man who was almost twenty years old walked in with a dagger-like thing wrapped in rags, and then asked the shopkeeper standing next to Li You: "You can collect weapons here? "
As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper immediately came to his mind. The weapon shop must collect weapons. As long as they are good weapons, the price difference earned from them can be more than that of selling and building weapons. The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, so he immediately invited him to sit down and said, "I see what you are selling, and if it is good, we will accept it."
Li You, who had already planned to leave, also stopped. He didn't leave. He really wanted to take a look before leaving. Because he knows. If it is a general weapon, the weapon shop will not accept it. Since someone comes to sell it, this thing is absolutely indispensable.
When the boy exposed a two-foot-long short knife from the wrapped rag, Li You's eyes instantly brightened, because the handle of the knife and the blade are integrated, and you can see from the handle. , This thing is made of meteorite. The knife does not look very good, it just has the shape of a knife, and it is very thick. This is the result of the furnace temperature being not high, and it cannot be built according to the desired shape, but it also shows that the material of the knife It is definitely made of high hardness alloy.
The shopkeeper looked at the short knife, and was about to speak, Li You interposed and asked, "How much do you want to sell this short knife?"
Li You's sudden interruption caused the shopkeeper's brows to frown. The knife didn't look very good, but the shopkeeper knew that the material of the knife was extremely rare. It was a real treasure that could make a lot of money.
When the young knife seller heard Li You’s asking price, he turned his head and looked at him. He could see that Li You was not a commoner. He said, "I want to sell eighty tongs. I won’t sell it if I lose one cent. ."
Before Li You could speak, the shopkeeper was already frowning. Even if it is a treasure, it still needs to be forged by an expert. If only the material is used, the price is too high. If it can be cheaper by 20 or 30 pens. If he buys it, he will still make some money. If it is the price, he is really reluctant to accept it.
The shopkeeper put down the dagger in his hand, did not look at the young man, but asked Li You: "Does Lang Jun intend to buy this weapon? If Lang Jun likes it, I will give Lang Jun a convenience and let you trade with him. , Our shop will no longer intervene."
This is not how generous the shopkeeper is. He can see that Li You is from an extraordinary background, maybe a child of a family. Now he doesn't want the price. Li You asked about the price again. It seems that he also saw some famous people. He gave up the opportunity to avoid offending, and secondly, he could have a personal relationship with him, saying that the deal would not be completed, and Li You would reward him.
