The foundation of Baobingfang is much higher than the street level, and there are nine steps leading up to the entrance.
Lin Xiao led Zhou Zheng up step by step, and then walked into the gate. As soon as he stepped into the gate, Lin Xiao immediately felt a change in his breath, as if the temperature suddenly dropped, and there was an invisible chill in the air, but Zhou Zheng didn't feel anything, just
Scanning slowly with wide eyes, it was the first time for him to come to such a majestic place, and he felt that he couldn't see enough.
"Are you here to buy a sword?" A young and beautiful waitress in clean and fresh clothes came over. Her smile was as clear as an oriole's and she brought a light and elegant fragrance. Zhou Zheng took a look and blushed a little.
Feeling awkward, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ruffled his hair and looked at the other person, with clear eyes and a smile: "Do you have a refined sword?"
The beautiful waitress's eyes suddenly lit up, and her smile became brighter: "Is this your first time coming to Baobingfang?"
Lin Xiao nodded, Zhou Zheng blushed, glanced secretly from time to time and then quickly looked away.
"Then let me introduce our Baobingfang to the guests." The waitress said crisply with a smile: "Our Baobingfang headquarter is located in Dongji County. It is the leading weapons workshop in Dongzhou.
And there are branches in every county under the county."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he was secretly shocked.
The land under our feet belonged to the Dayun Dynasty. The Dayun Dynasty was divided into nine states, of which Dongzhou was one. Below the state were counties, those below the counties were counties, and those below the counties were townships.
Speaking of which, Baobingfang is really a big company. After thinking about it, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that his wealth of a restaurant and a rice shop was actually nothing. Compared with Baobingfang, he was probably like a small insect.
Compare it to a boa constrictor.
Thinking so, Lin Xiao didn't feel uncomfortable or frustrated, just surprised, that's all.
"Our Baobangfang has four floors. The first floor welcomes guests, the second floor displays crude and ordinary weapons, the third floor displays refined weapons, and the fourth floor displays imitations of handed down weapons." The waitress said crisply.
The voice said, neither too fast nor too slow, and the words were very clear.
"How to sell imitation weapons from ancient times?" Lin Xiao's eyes lit up slightly. The White Bird Sword given to him by his master Gu Yanzhen is an imitation of the famous sword handed down from ancient times, the White Phoenix Mitian Sword. Lin Xiao feels that its toughness and sharpness are better than ordinary ones.
The refined sword is even better than that.
So, the second sword, if you can get a replica of a famous sword passed down from generation to generation, would also be very good.
"However, our Baobangfang has its own rules. Warriors choose weapons, and weapons also choose people. Good weapons can make warriors stronger, and skilled warriors can better utilize the power of weapons." The waitress said.
After coming out, Lin Xiao felt that it seemed to make sense.
However, it also has its limitations. For example, it has to target those really good weapons, such as crude-level and common-level weapons. No matter what, you can't make mistakes in the selection, because you don't have the qualifications. After all, crude-level and common-level weapons are too weak.
It's ordinary.
Only those who have reached the refined level are qualified. This is like a person. If you don’t have some ability, who will take you seriously?
Only when you have ability, identity and status can you be valued and respected.
This is not reality, but it is also reality. Lin Xiao looks like he is eighteen years old, but in fact he has already understood this truth.
"If a customer wants to buy refined weapons, he only needs to have enough money, but if he wants to buy imitation weapons, he needs to have the corresponding qualifications. It just so happens that this month we have an imitation sword in Lin'an Baobingfang
The weapon is here, the customer is very lucky." The waitress smiled, with a kind of pride, not for herself, but for Baobingfang. After all, it is the top weapons specialty store in Dongzhou.
In the entire Dayun Dynasty, he can also be ranked high, and his style is very high.
Getting a job in Baobingfang is not an easy thing.
"How do you qualify?" Lin Xiao asked curiously. The woman's smile suddenly became even brighter. The other party's reaction was as she expected. Every warrior who wants to buy weapons at Laibao Arms often feels certain after hearing such words.
I will also ask this.
"The technique of striking leaves." The waitress smiled and explained without asking Lin Xiao: "The so-called technique of striking leaves is to hit them with a weapon when fallen leaves fall one after another. It can penetrate and crack the limited number of dead leaves in one blow.
Ye will be eligible to purchase imitation weapons handed down from ancient times."
"The art of beating leaves." When Lin Xiao heard this, he suddenly became interested.
"However, if you want to challenge the leaf-breaking technique, you need to pay one hundred taels of silver as a fee first." The waitress said with a smile: "If the challenge is successful, the one hundred taels of silver will be used as part of the fee to purchase the imitation handed down weapon. If it fails,
It will not be returned.”
"That's a lot of profit." Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh, a bit teasing and teasing. The waitress understood, but she just smiled.
One hundred taels of silver!
how?
Now it seems that it may not be a lot. For example, if I kill a small leader of a rival gang, I can get one hundred taels, and if I look at the big boss, I can get two hundred taels or even three hundred taels. This is in exchange for my life.
money.
How little?
In fact, it was a lot. Earlier, Lin Xiao was still working hard to save a few more taels of silver, and did not dare to expect to have a hundred taels of silver.
More or less is also a relative term. For a truly rich person, a hundred taels of silver may be just pocket money, but for a poor person, a hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money.
The leaf-breaking technique established by Baobingfang will definitely attract many warriors, and it is certainly a way to generate income.
A martial artist like Lin Xiao with considerable wealth would definitely be willing to spend a hundred taels to give it a try, but if Lin Xiao didn't have enough wealth, he would definitely not be able to spend a penny.
It is true that making money is not easy, but you still have to spend it when it is time to spend it. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the edge of the knife. Lin Xiao's careful calculation has never meant penny.
When it comes to imitating ancient weapons, one hundred taels can be taken out.
"Guest, you want to challenge the leaf-breaking technique." The waitress smiled.
"Okay." Lin Xiao smiled slightly and was very happy. Zhou Zheng listened dumbly. He was given a hundred taels of silver to participate in some kind of challenge. If he failed, he would not refund the money. His little heart simply couldn't bear it.
"Brother, are you sure?" Zhou Zheng subconsciously approached Lin Xiao and stood on tiptoes, trying to make himself appear taller so that he could get closer to Lin Xiao's ears, and asked secretly in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Lin Xiao asked.
"How would I know." Zhou Zheng muttered after being stunned, but since Lin Xiao made this decision, he had no intention of objecting. Ever since he was a child, whenever Lin Xiao decided to do something, he would basically do it, and no one could stop him.
.
"Dear guest, please come with me." The waitress's smile became brighter and her title changed from "guest" to "distinguished guest".
No, this is at least a hundred taels of silver, which is not a small deal. There may be hope of purchasing imitation weapons from ancient times. That would be big business. It is not an exaggeration to call him a distinguished guest.
Lin Xiao didn't care about the change of the other party's title. Whether he was a guest or a distinguished guest, the title was different, but to Lin Xiao, it was the same. He would never pay more generously just because the other party changed his title and became more respectful.
If you have a lot of money, you won't be unwilling to spend money to buy what you need just because of a common name.
Lin Xiao can still control what I want and what I want.
Of course, the world is full of all kinds of temptations, and no one dares to say that they can face all temptations and just stick to their true intentions and do their best.
On the first floor of Baobingfang, in addition to the lobby, there are many rooms and a courtyard at the back. The length and width of the courtyard are about ten meters.
It was an old tree that was at least a hundred years old, and it was almost late autumn. There were many dead leaves hanging on the tree, and there were also many dead leaves scattered on the ground.
At this moment, there are other people present.
Four people!
A young man wearing the same clothes as the waitress, who is also from Baobingfang. A man wearing a blue-gray robe, who seems to be less than thirty years old. His right foot is bent and the toes are touching the ground, his hands are folded around him.
On the wall, he looked a little lazy, his eyes were careless, and there was a layer of stubble on his chin, making him look unkempt.
The other two are both men. One is a young man in his early twenties who is wearing a silk satin robe and a precious jade waistband. He is playing with a mutton-fat white jade ball in his hand. His face is calm and comfortable, and his mouth is open.
He tilted his head slightly and seemed to be smiling, but upon closer inspection, he was not smiling. In short, one could easily tell that he was a young man with a good family background.
The other one is carrying a long sword on his back and has a long sword on his waist. He seems to be older, but his face is cold and stern and his eyes are narrow. He is wearing brown clothes and a soft scale armor on his upper body. His whole body looks like
Stronger and taller.
The moment he saw the soft scale armor on the opponent's body, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Yes, I can look for armor. It is best to have an inner armor hidden under the robe, and an outer armor worn outside for double defense." Lin Xiao thought secretly, wouldn't this be a good idea?
It is better than the iron chest plate and can better defend itself.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiao's thoughts immediately spread out, whether he should get a full-body armor that would completely cover him from head to toe.
"Am I too afraid of death..." Lin Xiao suddenly asked himself.
"Manager Li, this distinguished guest also wants to challenge the leaf-breaking technique." The waitress walked towards the lazy man leaning against the wall and said softly, looking at Lin Xiao.
"Pay the money and get in line." The lazy manager Li just glanced at Lin Xiao and said casually.
"Yes." Although the waitress has been worried that Manager Li's casual attitude will offend the guests and lead to failure in business, but the other party is from the county after all, and her status is not comparable to hers. In order to keep this good job
Don't dare talk nonsense when you're on an errand.
"Wen Liang, it's up to you whether I can buy that good sword or not." The young master seemed to come from a big family and smiled softly at the young man with a cold face and narrow eyes.
"Don't worry, young master, I will do my best." The cold young man responded immediately with a decisive tone.
