Chapter 26 Just buy the expensive one.
"Manager Zhang, I want to buy a sword!" Guo Pixiu spoke in a loud voice that everyone in the store could hear clearly.
"No problem, Master Guo, please come over here!" Zhang Xingye quickly invited Guo Pixiu to a seat beside him.
Guo Pixiu sat there with a stunned look on his face. He
immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and said, "Manager Zhang, look at what my sister did to my sword."
Zhang Xingye took it from Guo Pixiu's hand. The sword was full of gaps, and it looked like saw teeth.
"Here, how did you do this?" Manager Zhang was a little surprised.
"My sister actually used my sword to play with my father's three-jeweled sword, and it ended up like this. I was really pissed off. How can a little girl be more naughty than a boy?" Guo Pixiu He said angrily.
"Mr. Guo, calm down. We just have a new sword in our store. The quality is even better than this one. I'll show it to you." Zhang Xingye waved his hand to the clerk on the side.
The clerk immediately took out a sword with the word Wei and held it in front of Guo Pixiu.
Guo Pixiu took the sword and looked at it carefully. His eyes suddenly brightened: "It looks really good. I haven't heard of the sword with the word Wei before?" "
What? One hundred taels? This is too expensive. Right? Are you trying to steal money?"
A customer next to him suddenly started shouting in dissatisfaction, which attracted Guo Pixiu's attention.
The clerk quickly began to explain why the sword sold for one hundred taels.
"Guanshi Zhang, does this sword cost one hundred taels?" Guo Pixiu also looked at Zhang Xingye in surprise.
"That's right!"
"Hey, the price is a bit ridiculous. I've never heard of a jeweled sword selling for one hundred taels before?" Guo Pixiu was a little surprised.
"Master Guo, this sword is expensive for a reason. As the saying goes, good products are not cheap, and good products are not cheap. Our sword with the word Wei is the best among jeweled swords. The swordsmith of this
sword , although he is a new swordsmith,
he is very good. He achieved the top grade in the assessment, which is unprecedented and unparalleled.
Once, Shopkeeper Du and Shopkeeper Qiu almost fought over him.
And he The forged one-jewel sword also created a miracle, bringing the performance and quality of the one-jewel sword to a whole new level.
The one-jewel swords currently on the market are simply incomparable to this Wei-character sword! "Zhang Xingye said it with certainty.
Although there is some exaggeration in it, most of it is true.
So I still don’t feel guilty at all when I say it.
"Really or not, please don't fool me, Manager Zhang." Guo Pixiu asked slightly surprised.
"How dare you? If you don't believe it, you can go to the Sword Making Department and ask, and you will know. Well, our industry has an object to test the ultimate performance of swords, and this is it!" Zhang Xingye took out a stick from his sleeve. Sword checking stick.
"We call it a sword test stick in the industry. If you can leave a gap in an ordinary one-jeweled sword, it's pretty good. But this sword can easily cut it off without getting hurt. Tell me. Isn't it a high judgment?"
After hearing Zhang Xingye's words, Guo Pixiu's eyes brightened a little.
"Young Master Guo is so heroic and heroic, so naturally he needs a high-quality sword to match you. The swords forged by those outdated swordsmiths in the Jianfeng Building across the street have long been ruined. They are not worth buying at all. Look at what they are now reduced to
. It's on sale at a discount, how can that kind of bargain be worthy of Master Guo's temperament and status!"
Zhang Xingye's words made Guo Pixiu beam with excitement and a smile on his face.
"What Manager Zhang said is very reasonable. I also think this sword is good. Good products are not cheap, but cheap products are not good. If I want to buy something, I will buy the best one, and this is it!" Guo Pixiu smiled broadly, and was very impressed by the sword in front of him. Is satisfied.
"Okay, Master Guo has a sword with the word Wei!" Zhang Xingye immediately shouted loudly.
His words immediately attracted the attention of all the guests around him.
"A rich man, you can buy a hundred taels of swords!"
"Isn't this the young gang leader of the Deyun Gang?"
"Tsk, tsk, you are really generous!"
Guo Pixiu felt better after being noticed by everyone.
How could buying a sword attract such attention in the past? It seems that spending one hundred taels of silver to buy a sword is well worth it!
"Hey, I came to see this yesterday. The Wei-branded sword was still selling for 80 taels of silver. Why did it go up to 100 taels today? Your Wanjiange Pavilion is too dark. People at Jianfeng Tower are offering discounts. Why don't you give me the discount? Price increase!" Another customer next to him said dissatisfiedly.
"Dear guest, you don't know something. The supply of our Wei-branded swords currently exceeds the demand. We don't have to worry about selling these 100 taels. If you don't buy it today, the price may increase in a few days!" the clerk explained from the side. road.
"Yes, to be honest, this Wei-character sword is worth collecting. You will never buy such a good one-jewel sword on the market." Another clerk also agreed.
Hearing the conversation between the clerk and the customer next to him, Guo Pixiu's eyes flickered, and a proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This sword can actually increase in value, so I really made a profit.
Zhang Xingye took Guo Pixiu to buy a scabbard again, then went to the counter to pay the money and sign the receipt.
Guo Pixiu also got his wish and hung the sword with the word Wei on his waist.
"Hey, Manager Zhang, can you give me one of your sticks?" Guo Pixiu suddenly approached Zhang Xingye and whispered.
"Sword checking stick?"
"Yes, is that okay?"
"Of course, no problem, this is for you!" Zhang Xingye handed the sword checking stick to Guo Pixiu.
After sending Guo Pixiu away, Zhang Xingye immediately ran to the second floor happily and told Du Yujiang the good news.
"Well, very good, let's take a look. In the next few days, the supply of swords with Wei characters will definitely exceed the demand!" Du Yujiang said with a smile.
After Guo Pixiu left Wanjiang Pavilion, he got on the carriage at the door and said loudly: "Go to the Prince's Mansion." The
Prince's Mansion in his mouth was the residence of Zhao Hanqing, the concubine of King Jingan.
Zhao Hanqing's mother was a merchant woman and had no status in the palace.
However, this Zhao Hanqing was a martial arts waste. He was not good at leading troops in battles, nor was he good at studying.
It can be said to be useless.
He is the least popular among the sons of King Jing'an.
There was no hope of inheriting the title of king, so he left the palace when he became an adult and started living alone in his own palace.
On weekdays, he likes to make friends with the children of the wealthy and gentry families in the city, and often holds parties at his house.
But when these young men with rich families but little education gather together, they
naturally don't know how to talk about history or recite poems.
Therefore, tea tasting, wine tasting, and sword tasting have become the main contents of their gatherings.
This afternoon was a wine tasting party organized by Zhao Hanqing.
Those who came to the party were basically the children of merchants and wealthy gentry.
When Guo Pixiu arrived at the Prince's Mansion, most of the wealthy young men in the city were already there.
The wine tasting party will not start until later, so at this time everyone is gathering in the hall, drinking tea and chatting.
Several female musicians nearby were also playing beautiful music.
"Hey, Mr. Guo is here!" Someone said with a smile when they saw Guo Pixiu approaching.
"Prince!" Guo Pixiu walked up to Zhao Hanqing and bowed.
Zhao Hanqing inherited his mother's beautiful appearance, with a face as white as jade, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a very handsome appearance.
"It's a small gift for the prince, I hope you'll accept it!" Guo Pixiu took a small exquisite box and gave it to Zhao Hanqing.
"You're welcome, Mr. Guo, please take a seat!" Zhao Hanqing took the small box and said with a smile.
