Chapter 24 Tempering Workshop

Early the next morning, Wang Ye wrapped the swords of Zhang Su and Ye Changqing in linen and went straight to the Quenching Square in the market.

Yesterday I paid fifty taels of silver to see Lin Lanzhi off.

No matter what, I will sell these two long swords this time to make up for the money I lost yesterday.

Quelifang is a famous weapons shop in Jinling City. The word "quenching" means that the sword has been sharpened and toughened by tempering.

The swords forged by them are as sharp as clay.

Whether they are knights wandering the world or traveling businessmen, they all like to come here to buy one for self-defense.

As soon as he stepped into Queli Square, Wang Ye saw a crowd of people standing in the dark.

Each of these people is strong and well-dressed.

He also carried swords and weapons in his hands, and there was even a faint smell of blood floating in the air.

Obviously, these people are all people in the world who lick blood with their swords.

“It’s really weird”

Looking at the crowd of Jianghu people in front of him, Wang Ye's head started to move: "The business of this Quelifang is average on weekdays, that is, those traveling merchants come to buy swords for self-defense. Why are there so many Jianghu people here today?"

Wang Ye couldn't help but feel doubtful about the scene before him.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang!"

Just when Wang Ye was confused, a deep voice came: "You are a rare visitor!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Ye turned around and saw a tall man in gray clothes coming to his side and slapped Wang Ye on the shoulder.

Snapped!

This slap landed on Wang Ye's shoulder, and there was a crisp sound.

"Hey yo yo!"

After receiving this slap, Wang Ye turned his body and said to the man in gray: "You are a rich and reckless man. You can just forge iron and make swords on weekdays. But you still hit people with such a heavy hand when you greet them. What do you think?"

Shoot me to death?"

As he spoke, Wang Ye bared his teeth and looked unhappy.

This man in gray clothes is none other than the boss of Quelifang, Qian Cheng, shopkeeper Qian.

"Wang Caimi, are you still talking about me?"

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Shopkeeper Qian said: "I told you to run to Yihong Courtyard when you have nothing to do. This tall body makes you weak and weak. Who can you blame?"

"Why don't you also have a pot of Tiger Whip Liquor from Huichuntang? That stuff will just make up for your frail body."

Looking at Wang Ye in front of him, Shopkeeper Qian had a wicked smile on his face.

"Go! Go! Go!"

After hearing what shopkeeper Qian said, Wang Ye looked impatient: "Then Mr. Zhu himself always ate more and touched more and never fired firecrackers in Yihongyuan. If this tiger whip wine is really useful, why doesn't he drink it himself?

"

"I see that you, a reckless man, are just like that kid Ajin. You know you are being deceived right away!"

"Tiger whip wine has no effect? ​​No, right?"

After hearing Wang Ye's words, shopkeeper Qian said thoughtfully: "I bought a pot and drank it yesterday, and my wife was full of praise that night..."

"cough!"

After hearing what Shopkeeper Qian said, Wang Ye coughed heavily.

Shopkeeper Qian really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.

Even when you close the door at home, you have to share it with yourself.

Hearing Wang Ye's cough, shopkeeper Qian also reacted. He looked at Wang Ye in front of him and his face turned red: "Well... you just understand what I mean."

"Shopkeeper Qian..."

Looking at Shopkeeper Qian's appearance, Wang Ye raised his brows with a hint of amusement: "Can't you tell, you are so big and thick, you still need tiger penis wine to cheer you up?"

"Oh, there are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields. No matter how fierce I am, I can't stop your sister-in-law..."

Having said this, shopkeeper Qian suddenly reacted: "Well, what are you doing here today?"

Looking at Shopkeeper Qian's appearance, Wang Ye nodded with a look of understanding on his face.

At the same time, he moved forward the long sword wrapped in linen in his hand and said, "I'll sell you something!"

"oh?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, shopkeeper Qian's eyes lit up: "Let's go to the living room next to us to talk in detail!"

Hearing this, Wang Yeyi grinned.

Although Shopkeeper Qian is as dumb as Aji on weekdays, he is unambiguous in casting and trading.

Especially when it comes to sheathing the sword, Shopkeeper Qian is extremely cautious.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he always went to the drawing room to discuss the sword transaction in detail.

Arriving in the living room, shopkeeper Qian smiled at Wang Ye and said, "Wang Caimi, please show your things?"

As soon as he said this, Wang Ye did not hesitate and directly removed the linen cloth, revealing the true appearance of the long sword.

"Um?"

The moment he saw these two long swords, Shopkeeper Qian's eyes lit up.

He first picked up Zhang Su's long sword and said: "This long sword looks thin, but it is made of iron and black gold. It is extremely hard and is perfect for fighting!"

After hearing this, Wang Ye nodded.

Shopkeeper Qian has been in the business of making swords for generations, and he is particularly good at weapons. From just one sentence, he can tell the secret of this sword.

"And this sword, it's thin and light, the blade is sharp yet soft."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Qian flicked the sword with his finger and made a soft sound like water droplets: "In addition, this sword is completely integrated and the sound is like water droplets. I guess it is the rumored dripping sword that kills people without showing blood!"

"Okay, Mr. Qian"

Hearing this, Wang Ye said: "You can recognize these two swords at a glance!"

"After looking at a thousand swords, you can recognize the weapon. What's more, I can also forge swords!"

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Shopkeeper Qian smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, Wang Cai Mi, where did these two swords come from?"

"I picked it up"

In response to Shopkeeper Qian's words, Wang Ye told the story of Aji killing the gangster in the ruined temple and saving him.

However, the details of Tianxiahui and Juntianling were hidden.

"Hahaha, I heard someone say that Aji was so brave two days ago that he fought off the bad guys, and this time he saved your life."

After hearing Wang Ye's words, shopkeeper Qian smiled and said, "With such a martial arts guy, you can just have some fun!"

"Pull him down quickly. That kid Aji will cause trouble because of his stupidity. When he gets into trouble, don't take him with him and I will burn the incense!"

Wang Ye waved his hand helplessly, then knocked on the table: "How much do you plan to give these two swords?"

"These two long swords are of high quality and extremely sharp. If sold, they would be worth at least two hundred taels..."

Looking at Wang Ye, Shopkeeper Qian smiled slightly: "But these two long swords belong to thieves. Taking them openly will only cause trouble. I have to turn them into molten iron and cast them separately. Only in this way can I get rid of trouble..."

"This series of smelting and casting processes is lengthy and laborious, so when converted, this is the only number!"

As he said this, Shopkeeper Qian was slapped in the face: "Fifty taels, no more!"

"You're such a money fool!"

Hearing what Shopkeeper Qian said, Wang Ye immediately became unhappy: "I am the one who is being ripped off!"
