"The price is affordable, the quantity is large and the tube is filling, and the taste is good..."
"Don't let me see you again!"
"Otherwise, I promise not to beat you to death!"
Zhou Shu stood at the door of a restaurant, looking up at the signboard, and the resentment in his heart almost reached the ninth heaven.
This restaurant——
The name of this store is called Restaurant...
This restaurant is only a few square meters in size. There are only three tables in the store, one of which is reserved for the storyteller.
On the contrary, there are several rows of benches at the entrance of the store.
The benches were already full of people, each holding a big bowl in their hands. While listening to the storyteller, they wolfed down the food in the bowl.
In addition to those who were sitting, there were many others who didn’t even have seats, just standing and eating.
These people are all wearing coarse cloth and short clothes. At first glance, they look like the kind of people who earn a living by working hard.
Looking at the food in their bowls, how should I put it, it is somewhat similar to Zhou Shu’s rice bowl in his previous life, but it is not white rice, but brown rice. The accompanying vegetables also look dark and I don’t know what kind they are.
.
Zhou Shu looked around and only saw a little bit of minced meat in a few bowls.
Can a place like this be reasonably priced?
The portion is indeed large. Such a big sea bowl is so full that Zhou Shu probably won’t be able to finish it himself.
As for the taste, although he didn't eat it, he still felt that the taste was not much better than the big pot rice in the Forging Division's workshop!
That passerby obviously looks down on me.
Does he think this is the only thing I deserve?
I am also a person with a huge sum of two hundred and fifty taels, okay!
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth, no wonder that guy didn't dare to leave his name!
"Don't let me see you again!"
Zhou Shu said viciously in his heart.
Originally, he planned to turn around and leave. He came out to improve the food, and he was not looking for abuse. If you want to eat this kind of food, the Weaponsmith's Workshop has it every day.
However, the storyteller in the store seemed to be very interesting, and Zhou Shu, who had nothing important to do, simply stood aside and listened.
"To talk about the military exercises of these ten countries, we have to start with the military parade."
The storyteller is a thin old man with an unattractive appearance, but his voice is very loud and his eloquence is also very good.
"Our grand military parade in Daxia happens once every five years. The last time was exactly four years ago. The winner of that grand military parade was..."
What the storyteller said was naturally based on some deductions, but by comparing the two with some of the things he heard from his fellow workers in the Forging Department, Zhou Shu's understanding of the world became more three-dimensional.
Daxia is not the only country on this continent.
This continent has four continents: East, West, North and South. There are ten countries in the four continents. Daxia is located on the Dongzhou.
This Ten-Nation Military Exercise is a military competition between ten countries on the mainland in order to divide resources. It is held every ten years.
This was originally a rule made by some strong men in order to reduce wars. However, in recent years, the Ten Kingdoms' martial arts exercises have long lost their original intention.
The number of casualties caused during martial arts performances is often greater than in real wars, and despite the existence of martial arts performances, disputes between the ten countries are still endless.
The martial arts performance of the Ten Kingdoms has long become a useless existence.
Zhou Shu also heard his co-workers discuss this when he was in the workshop, but the matter had nothing to do with him.
No matter the military exercises of the Ten Kingdoms or the wars, it would never be his turn as a soldier-making apprentice.
On the contrary, the military parade that the storyteller mentioned has something to do with him.
The so-called grand military parade actually means that every five years, the Holy Father will review armaments.
Weapons are naturally indispensable for armaments, and weapons are naturally inseparable from the Weaponry Division.
One part of this grand military parade is for the Weapons Division to display their newly developed weapons.
The weapons of Daxia have always been the strongest on the continent, which is inseparable from the importance that the Daxia court attaches to forging weapons.
Zhou Shu had heard that a weapon-making apprentice once cast a weapon at a military parade. The result made the Sacred Heart very happy, and he gave the secret recipe for a high-quality weapon on the spot. Then the weapon-making apprentice rose to the top and was promoted.
Weaponsmith.
There is no way to verify whether this is true or not, but the military parade is indeed an opportunity for the military apprentices. If you perform well, you can at least expect a promotion and a salary increase.
"I wonder if that guy Xiao Zongshui took the Tiger Ben knife to claim credit..."
Zhou Shu thought to himself, he thought that he still had the secret recipe for the Hundred-Refined Ring-Shou Sword in his hand. If he cast it at the military parade, he would be able to make a splash, right?
The Hundred Refined Ring First Sword is much stronger than the sharp standard long sword.
The storyteller was telling the story of Daxia weapons that he had heard from anecdotes. Zhou Shu's eyes wandered and he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw a man in the crowd looking away.
After practicing the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, Zhou Shu's ears and eyesight became sharper, and even his senses became much sharper than before.
Although the man moved very quickly, Zhou Shu was still sure that he was definitely looking at him just now!
Maybe he thinks it's strange that he only listens to books and doesn't eat.
Zhou Shu secretly said that it was not surprising for the other person to look at him in a noisy place, but he still looked at the person curiously.
The man looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a rough coat made of hard-working clothes, and his skin looked rough and dark due to exposure to wind and sun.
Everything looked normal, except that he was carrying a long bundle in his hand.
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from the length of the baggage, what was inside should be a weapon, a sword, or a knife!
Zhou Shu felt that he had some occupational diseases, and he could even think of weapons. This Great Xia was not the ancient times of the previous life. Martial arts were strong here, and the imperial court was not allowed to use weapons. Even if someone wore swords and took to the streets, it was normal.
The man seemed to notice that Zhou Shu was observing him, his eyelids drooped slightly, he turned and walked away from Zhou Shu, and soon turned into an alley and disappeared.
Zhou Shu didn't care about this. He listened to the story for a while, then found a restaurant that looked pretty good and had a somewhat disappointing meal.

In this way, most of the day has passed.
In the end, he really didn't know what to do, so he simply went to the Weaponry Division's workshop in advance.
The Forging Division's workshop is located in the northeast corner of the Imperial Capital of Daxia. During most of the day, although Zhou Shu did not do anything serious, he also walked dozens of streets.
When I arrived, I was curious about everything I saw and didn’t realize how far it was. Going back was a bit torturous, as the further I walked, the farther I felt the farther I went.
"It would be great if I could have a car."
There are many horse-drawn carriages in the imperial capital of Daxia, which are standard equipment for wealthy people.
Although Zhou Shu now has a huge sum of two hundred and fifty taels, compared with real relatives, he is still a pauper.
"Two hundred and fifty taels, two hundred and fifty taels, two hundred and five, two hundred and five..."
Zhou Shu hummed to himself, getting closer and closer to the workshop. Two streets ahead was the entrance to the workshop.
Suddenly, Zhou Shu felt the hairs on his back stand up, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
Almost without thinking, he lunged forward, rolled on the ground a few times, and then looked back.
Before he could see clearly, a white light flashed before his eyes.
Zhou Shu's pupils shrank and he kicked his feet violently.
Landing on his butt, Zhou Shu instantly slid out a few feet and struck the place where he was just now with a knife.
With a "click", the blue brick floor was torn into pieces, and the long knife slashed in several inches.
"Tiger Ben Knife!"
Zhou Shu blurted out.
"You really recognized me!"
A deep voice said solemnly.
Only then did Zhou Shu see that the man who attacked him with a knife was the man he saw at the door of the restaurant before!
Zhou Shu subconsciously looked around. This place was only one street away from the Weaponry Division's workshop. If he shouted for help——
The man seemed to have figured out Zhou Shu's plan. He didn't give Zhou Shu a chance to call for help. He slipped and raised his Tiger Blade above his head and slashed down at Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu didn't care about shouting and rolled and crawled to avoid the opponent's attack.
He cursed secretly in his heart, "The devil knows who you are, I just know the knife, okay, why are you cutting me for no reason?"
He regretted taking this road. If he hadn't taken a shortcut and took this small alley, with people coming and going on the main road, this guy would definitely not dare to commit murder in the street!
Zhou Shu cursed secretly while avoiding in embarrassment.
He has only mastered the first level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, so his strength is limited, and he has never had actual combat experience. He will definitely not be able to defeat this person in a head-to-head fight.
You can't defeat them, you can only outwit them!
Lightning flashed in Zhou Shu's mind.
The Huben Knife was invented by him and was only handed over to Xiao Zongshui.
According to what he had seen before, Xiao Zongshui and the commander of the Huben Army reached a deal, and the Huben knife was exclusively for the Huben Army.
Even without these, the weapons forged by the Weapons Division's workshop would not easily flow into the people.
Where did the Tiger Blade in this man’s hand come from?
He is definitely not a tiger!
The Huben Army will not attack you for no reason!
Weapon Apprentice?
I know all the weapon-making apprentices who have access to the Tiger Blade, but this person is definitely not him!
So who is he?
And why do you want to sneak attack on yourself?
From the look on his face, he clearly wanted to kill him!
Just because she glanced at him outside the restaurant, he was going to kill someone?
Is this Daxia so dangerous?
A bright light flashed in Zhou Shu's mind, and he shouted, "I am the forger of the Huben Sword, and I know the secret recipe for the Huben Sword!"
"Pfft——"
The blade of the knife slashed across Zhou Shu's chest and opened a gash in his clothes. It was just a hair's breadth away from disemboweling Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu spread his hands to indicate that he would not resist.
"I have the secret recipe for the Tiger Ben Knife. If you want it, I can give it to you!"
Zhou Shu said.
"You really recognized me!"
The man snorted coldly, "Otherwise, how do you know I want the secret recipe for the Tiger Ben knife?"
Zhou Shu just wanted to roll his eyes, but he was afraid of angering this person. This person seemed to have an extreme personality at first glance. If he was angered, who knew what he could do?
Zhou Shu didn’t want to be hacked to death for no apparent reason just because he looked at someone too much.
"I guess, it's true."
Zhou Shu said with sincerity.
