Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 64 Huakou Luzi
  Until now, he didn't know that this guy was a gun dealer selling firearms. He probably took into consideration that the acquisition station might encounter many people going up to the mountains to hunt, so he often wandered around there.

This man probably saw him entering the buying station twice before, and when he inquired about it, he knew that he was selling chipmunk skins.
  In addition, I happened to meet him again today, and I guessed that he often went to the mountains to hunt. I thought he had the same gadgets as before, and judged that he didn't have a gun in his hand, so he came to the door.

Although Lu Jiansheng has money now, he plans to buy a donkey, but he can listen first to understand the local gun sales situation and a channel for purchasing gun bullets. He will definitely use it after he goes hunting in the mountains.

And although he now has a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand, he won't mind having less guns. He has a rifle.
  But of course he also wants to get a pistol. Although the pistol is not as powerful as a rifle, it is not small, and it is easy to carry and is also a weapon for self-defense.

Understand it first, then buy when you are rich.

This is what Lu Jiansheng planned.

"Brother, think about it. With guns, wild boars, bear bile, tiger bones, and mink skins, none of these are more profitable than the chipmunk skins, rabbit skins, etc. you shoot."

While Lu Jiansheng was stunned, the man tirelessly talked to him about the benefits of having a gun.

It has to be said that men are very good at stimulating people's desires.

It is true that any of these are worth a lot of money.

The man glanced at Lu Jiansheng in surprise. Could this guy be a rich man? He asked half a dozen questions when he first came up.
  He immediately beamed with joy: "You know the goods! The 56-and-a-half can be said to be the best gun for hunting, but it's not easy to buy it."

Lu Jiansheng glanced sideways at him. He knew instantly what the kid was up to.

"As long as the price is right, we have all kinds of guns, even cannons," the man said with a mysterious smile.

"Little brother, I still have an old foreign cannon here. The price is relatively low, only thirty or forty yuan."

"Fifty-six and a half, how much is it??"

The man glanced at Lu Jiansheng and said to himself, "Indeed."

Lu Jiansheng had been hunting alone with a gun for so many days, but he just happened to kill a wild boar. Yesterday's leopard was killed together with Li Dazhu.

The man sold it for a while first, so that he would have an advantage when negotiating the price later.

Lu Jiansheng first found out the price of his gun in the county to see how much advantage he got from Liu Fugui.

Lu Jiansheng smiled and said, of course he would not just ask directly.

"What kind of guns do you have anywhere?" Lu Jiansheng asked slowly.

"Didn't you say that you can make a whole gun? If you can't even make five or six, what kind of gun are you selling?"

"Ahem~ Brother, don't worry, as long as the money is in place, everything will be easy."

"How's it going? Are you interested?" The man poked his hand expectantly.

Hearing this, Lu Jiansheng smiled and said,
  As he guessed, Liu Fugui would cry to death if he knew.

But if it was so easy, wouldn't the man squat outside the wall and blow the cold wind?

"It's too expensive. Do you think I can afford it?"

When the man saw this, he was worried that Lu Jiansheng was gone. He didn't care about buying a ticket. He stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "Two hundred and forty yuan, this price is only what you can buy here. You can't buy it anywhere else." You can’t buy it for three or four hundred.”

The man continued, in fact, this was what he wanted to sell to the other party from the beginning.

It sounds exaggerated, but Lu Jiansheng knows that these words are true. Guns are openly sold in many places these days, and many guns were leaked out in the past.

"Old foreign cannon, you also mentioned it to me!"

Lu Jiansheng smacked his lips. The old foreign cannon was just a local gun. It used pyrotechnic powder to shoot iron sand over a short distance.

"You think the old foreign cannon is not powerful enough, right? Let me tell you, this problem can be solved easily. You don't have to use iron sand. You can use tin to make projectiles as big as corn seeds and put them in, and then jump out with one shot. That's right, the wild boar will do the same thing." The man quickly gave him a move.

Lu Jiansheng rolled his eyes again: "The bullets on this thing are not standardized. Is it so easy to hit it accurately? If you can't hit it accurately after firing one shot, are you waiting to be hunted down?"

Lu Jiansheng naturally doesn't care about this thing since he has five or six and a half in his hands. He also wants to buy a native gun and sell it directly in the village for a cheaper price.

"Since you don't want the old foreign cannon, I still have Shuilianzhu here, made in Hanyang, with a big lid of 38, but the price is much more expensive."

The man was worried that Lu Jiansheng could not afford it, so he quickly reminded him.

Lu Jiansheng has no intention of buying it.

Moreover, the market price of rifles was similar to his estimate, so he asked:

"Do you have any pistols?"

The man was stunned for a moment. You must know that a pistol is not suitable for hunting, is difficult to handle, and is not cheap.

The man thought for a while and then said: "It's really hard to get a pistol, but I do have one here. I got it from a veteran. It's a fancy gun."

Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. This is a fun thing. Huakou Luzi is the nickname given to a foreign brand pistol.

This name comes from the fact that the front edge of the muzzle of the gun is processed with a circle of knurling, hence the name "Huakou Luzi".

Folks generally divide pistols into three categories: pistols, box guns and revolvers according to the method of ammunition supply.

Luzi is a common name for a semi-automatic pistol with an obvious sleeve and a magazine in the grip.

The reason why it is called a gun is because it needs to be cocked before shooting, which means to gently pull back the slide or bolt with your hand to load the bullet. The box gun refers to an automatic pistol with a wooden box stock, and the revolver refers to a revolver.

There is also the saying of one spear, two horses, three flower mouths, four snakes, five dogs, open mouth and kick.

The gun is small in size, has very little recoil, and has a circle of knurling on the front end, so it is also called a chrysanthemum mouth pistol.

"how much is it?"

Lu Jiansheng asked tentatively.

"More than two hundred, you definitely can't afford it,"

The man often sighed, and he could see that Lu Jiansheng was shabby in his pocket. These days, most people have little money in their pockets, and they can go shopping and go to the market with only a few dollars in their pockets.

Lu Jiansheng smiled. In this case, there was no need to find any excuses. Then he went to the noodle shop, planning to have a meal to fill his stomach, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
  As for the Huakou Lu Zi, the price is actually very cheap. I don’t know where he got it from. Although Lu Jian Shen is very tempted, he still plans to buy it when he has money in the future.

And when buying a gun, you can’t go alone.

The man obviously didn't have a gun on him.

He also found out clearly that this man often appeared in this area, and it was not difficult to find him.

…………

Supply and Marketing Cooperative

Lu Jiansheng carefully selected the cloths on the counter.

There are linen and cotton.

The fabrics these days are different from those in the future. Whether it is linen or cotton, they feel thicker.
