Chapter 54 Feeling like something is going to happen
Yun Chao was not in a hurry to choose: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell your crossbow?"
The bow and arrow are too technically demanding and cannot be mastered by ordinary people in a short time.
The shopkeeper told Yun Chao that there are two types of crossbows, namely the arm-hanging crossbow and the sharp-hanging crossbow.
Yun Chao was very smart and quickly understood the difference between the two crossbows.
As the name suggests, an arm-opening crossbow is a crossbow that uses the arm to skeletons.
A crossbow, also known as a crossbow, is a crossbow that uses its feet to step on the bow body, pulls the bow string with its hands, and uses its full body strength to string the crossbow machine.
Needless to think, it must be that the force of stepping on the crossbow is strong, the range is long, and the power is even greater.
Of course, the price is also high.
According to the shopkeeper's introduction, his crossbows were all two stone crossbows, which could only be pulled with a force of 240 kilograms, with a range of at least one hundred steps, which is 150 meters.
Yun Chao knew that the range does not equal effective killing. As the saying goes, at the end of a powerful crossbow, the momentum cannot penetrate Lu Bai. The shopkeeper said that he could shoot 150 meters, and the effective killing was probably only about 100 meters at most.
As for the legendary super crossbow with a range of several hundred meters or even thousands of meters, I don’t know if there are any, but Yun Chao didn’t find it in the blacksmith shop anyway.
The shopkeeper's asking price is very high. Zhang Zhang's crossbow actually asked Yun for more than 100 taels of silver, which was so black that it was simply outrageous!
However, for his own safety, Yun Chao simply sacrificed his money. He was a bastard and could still make money without it!
"Shopkeeper, step on the crossbow, give me...five."
The shopkeeper spread his hands: "Sorry, there are not so many tramplings on the crossbow, and it is too cumbersome to make. It took me five years to make three."
Yun Chao was speechless, he couldn't even spend money.
"Forget it, only three are three, give me two more arm crossbows."
The arm strength crossbow has only one stone of pulling force, so it is relatively cheap, fifty taels per piece.
However, compared with stepping on the crossbow, arm strength crossbow is not useless. At least, it is easier to turn the string than stepping on the crossbow. You don’t have to sit on the ground and use your feet to stomp the fire rate to be faster.
Yun Chao felt really distressed when he paid the money and insisted that the shopkeeper send more crossbow arrows.
The shopkeeper was so entangled that he had no choice but to give him twice as much in addition to the twenty crossbow arrows he brought with him for each crossbow.
Just a crossbow, I spent a total of over 400 taels of silver on Yun's behalf, which almost made him feel distressed.
The remaining single swords, shields, spears, and crossbows are nothing.
"By the way, there are also farm tools, I'll give me another ten sets!"
Yunchao wants to open up land, and necessary farm tools need to be prepared in advance.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Yun Chao went to Lao Zhang's Yashang outside the south gate again and found Lao Zhang, the man who bought the cow last time.
Lao Zhang also knew Yun Chao and was very happy to see him come to buy cows again.
In the middle of winter, it was the most depressing time of the Niuma Market. There were not many customers as stupid as Yunchao.
During the slack season, when buying livestock, you have to raise them until spring before you can work. It is useless to waste feed. Who would do this if you are not a fool?
Yun Chao didn't think so. Although he didn't understand the bull and horse market in Wu Dynasty, he still understood the principles of off-season operations.
This thing is like buying down jackets in summer. Buying livestock in winter is naturally cheaper than when plowing in spring.
In fact, it is not that the people of the Wu Dynasty do not understand, but that they cannot afford it.
Even if you can afford it, feeding will cost a lot of money before the busy farming process and you can't afford it at all.
With the experience from last time, Yun Chao was very fast this time. Not long after, he picked a five-year-old big bull and spent seven taels of silver.
The so-called bull is a bull that has been beaten up. This bull is gentle and does not have a estrus period and will not fight with other bulls.
After buying a cow and another cow cart, Yun Chao asked Jia Mancang, who was eager to try it, to drive the car.
In the past few days, during the training, Yun Chao asked Shi Tou to teach a few kids how to catch the train.
Jia Mancang had average skills, but he was very serious. He drove the ox cart into the city all the way until the Cross Street without any accidents.
With two ox carts, Yun Chao would not waste it and drove the empty car back.
Soybeans, seven cents of silver, four stones.
When it comes to bean sprouts and soybeans, it is an essential necessity, so save more and be prepared for any eventuality.
Corn, that is, millet, eight cents of silver and two stones.
If you have to open up the land in a while, the food consumption is inevitable. Yunchao can't afford it by eating white rice and white flour. So it's better to eat it with Xiaomi.
Well, there are mung beans?
How much does it cost per stone?
What, just like rice, it costs one tael of silver?
Forget it, I'll kill you.
With soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts must not be missing.
Although mung beans are more expensive than soybeans, they produce more bean sprouts, so they don’t suffer any loss.
After buying the food, Yunchao also wants to buy meat.
This time I have money, not only buy pigs to get into the water, but also carry the big pigs directly into the car!
Seeing Yun Chao's spending speed, the four great Vajras really turned into Vajras, one by one, and they were stunned for a long time.
If it were me, if I dared to spend money so unscrupulously, I would have to be beaten to waste by my parents!
No wonder everyone in the village said that Yun Chao was a prodigal, and he was not wrong at all. This guy is a prodigal!
Although Yun Chao was not there when he bought the crossbow, everyone knew how much silver was spent.
At first, when I came out of the Lion Building, what was the weight of the silver I brought and what was the weight now. No matter how stupid I was, I know how much Yun Chao spent!
Finally, when Yun Chao was about to enter a shop again, Shi Tou couldn't help it. He grabbed his sleeve and said pitifully: "Second brother, stop buying it, and you'll have no money if you buy it!"
The other boys finally found the opportunity to speak, chatting around Yun Chao, with only one purpose, don’t spend money anymore, okay!
"Forget it, I won't buy it anymore, just go home!"
Looking at the pitiful little eyes of the boys, Yun Chao also felt that he seemed to spend a lot of money. The 1,000 taels of silver that had just been released, had spent more than half of it before he could heat up. It seemed that he was really a bit of a waste of money?
However, before a few boys could breathe a sigh of relief, Yun Chao jumped off the donkey's back again when he passed by a southern goods shop.
There is no need to ask about the Nanhuo Shop, it must be something that was trafficked from the south. Yun Chao is going to go in and take a look at it.
black pepper?
Come half a pound!
Jibeb?
Two... no, ten horses!
"Baby, I finally found you!"
Touching Jibebu in his hand, Yun Chao almost didn't cry.
The so-called Jibebu is actually cotton.
Yunchao bought cloth to make clothes last time, but he bought linen, but he didn’t find cotton.
Once upon a time, Yun Chao had no interest in taking a look at such inferior cheesecloth.
I only realized how happy it was to be able to wear a cotton dress when I was in Wu Chao.
"Stones, all the seas, the warehouse, Zhiyuan..."
When leaving the city, Yun Chao began to name one by one, saying that the next thing was very important.
"Everyone be careful, I feel something is going to happen!"
