Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

The shop assistant said with a bitter face, "Sir, as you can see from the surroundings, our Fuyuan Leather Shop has always been honest in its business dealings."

One hundred coins is the highest price I can pay; I can't go any higher.

Lu Fengnian smiled slightly, "In that case, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he prepared to leave again.

At this moment, the waiter quickly said, "Sir, please wait a moment while I go and ask our manager."

Lu Fengnian nodded and stopped walking.

The waiter quickly turned around and went to the back room.

A moment later, the waiter turned around, followed by a round-faced middle-aged man with a large belly.

"Sir, this is the manager of our Fuyuan Leather Shop," the shop assistant introduced to Lu Fengnian.

Lu Fengnian bowed slightly to the round-faced middle-aged man.

The round-faced middle-aged man smiled broadly. "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Fang, and my given name is Tong. I am the owner of Fuyuan Leather Goods Shop. May I ask how I should address you?"

Lu Fengnian gave his name.

Fang Tong smiled broadly, "Looking at Brother Lu's appearance, he doesn't seem like a hunter, but more like a scholar."

Lu Fengnian smiled slightly, "Manager Fang, you must already understand what I mean. One piece of leather costs one hundred and ten coins. If you can afford the price, I will give you both pieces."

Fang Tong's smile remained unchanged. "Brother Lu, please let me take a look at these two pieces of leather first."

Lu Fengnian took out both leathers and spread them out on the counter.

After examining the pelts, Fang Tong looked regretful. "Civet fur is precious. Although these two arrows were accurate, they have halved the price of these two pelts."

"If only we could use traps or nets to capture them!"

At this point, he turned his gaze to Lu Fengnian, "Brother Lu, the prices offered by my shop assistants are already quite fair."

Lu Fengnian replied, "One hundred and ten coins, not a penny less. If Manager Fang can't offer this price, I'll take my leave."

Fang Tong thought for a moment, then sighed softly, "Fine, one hundred and ten coins it is."

If it weren't for a regular customer who urgently needed civet fur to make a fur collar, I definitely wouldn't have offered this price.

This deal won't make you much money at all.

Lu Fengnian smiled broadly, "Earning less is better than earning nothing."

Fang Tong shook his head and smiled wryly, then winked at the waiter.

The clerk understood and quickly went behind the counter.

He quickly turned around, carrying a tray filled with a large string of copper coins, and handed it to Lu Fengnian. "Sir, this is two hundred and twenty coins in total. Please count them."

Lu Fengnian picked up the copper coins and quickly counted them.

Two hundred and twenty coins, not a penny less.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

He stuffed the copper coins into his pocket, then handed two civet pelts to Fang Tong, and said with a smile, "Manager Fang is a straightforward businessman. Next time I need furs, I will definitely give priority to your shop."

Fang Tong smiled and replied, "Brother Lu, your archery skills are exceptional, but you must remember that next time you hunt civets or other wild animals with valuable fur, try not to use a bow and arrow."

Lu Fengnian nodded, took his leave, and departed.

…………

With 220 coins in his pocket, Lu Fengnian felt a surge of confidence and immediately went to the bow shop in Qinghe County that sold hunting bows.

But after one round, his once-firm posture clearly softened.

In these shops, even ordinary bamboo and wood bows, without the use of ox sinew or ox horn, but simply made of bamboo and wood glued together, would sell for two or three hundred coins, which is two or three qian of silver.

A slightly better composite bow made of sinew and horn, the kind borrowed from Widow Tian, ​​would cost four to seven qian of silver.

Those fine bows made from buffalo horn and deer sinew, crafted by hand over many years, are even more expensive, starting at least one or two taels of silver.

The most expensive bow sold in those shops cost as much as five taels.

At the same time, Lu Fengnian also looked at the arrows. The prices were not much different. Arrows with iron arrowheads cost two to three fen of silver, which is two to three wen.

For 220 coins, you can haggle with the shopkeeper at the bow shop and buy an ordinary bamboo bow, plus one or two arrows.

However, even the hunting bow at Widow Tian's house was considered by Lu Fengnian to be insufficiently powerful, so he would never be interested in these bamboo and wooden bows.

Moreover, he could make these bamboo and wooden bows, which could only kill small animals, himself in about half a month.

There isn't enough money, so buying the bow will have to wait until next time.

After leaving the bow shop, Lu Fengnian made a few inquiries and found the Guo family, who sold wine.

The Guo family was wealthy and powerful, and they built a huge mansion with a gate that was much taller than the houses next to it. They even hired guards to watch over the house.

Lu Fengnian went to a teahouse diagonally opposite the Guo family's house, spent one coin to buy a large bowl of tea, and slowly drank it.

He drank while observing the situation at the Guo family's place.

Qiu Qingbai should have arrived at the Guo family's house last night.

Guo Jiaxin has taken a concubine, so there will definitely be some excitement. There will be a wedding banquet and guests invited.

Lu Fengnian planned to sneak in disguise as a guest when there were many people, and then act according to the situation.

He had no deep feelings for Qiu Qingbai.

However, the girl had given him her virginity after all, and before leaving, she even slipped him a pair of jade bracelets.

Having received a favor from someone, one naturally feels indebted.

If you owe someone, you definitely have to pay it back, and you have to pay it back as soon as possible.

However, to Lu Fengnian's slight surprise, even though it was lunchtime, the Guo family's gate was tightly closed and there was no movement at all.

Sure enough, the richer you are, the stingier you become. He just got a new wife, but he can't even bear to treat her to a meal!

Lu Fengnian cursed under his breath and prepared to leave the teahouse to go directly to the Guo family.

Just then, two tea drinkers walked into the teahouse and plopped down at the tea table behind Lu Fengnian.

The older tea drinkers looked in the direction of the Guo family and laughed, "Old Master Guo has really suffered a loss this time. He spent a lot of money to get a young wife, but ended up losing both his money and his wife."

That old miser must be heartbroken right now.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengnian quickly sat back down, having just lifted his buttocks, and pricked up his ears.

The younger tea drinkers became interested and asked, "This is interesting, tell me more."

The older tea drinker cleared his throat. "Old Guo recently bought a young girl in a village in the countryside. I heard it cost him quite a bit."

Last night, just after I brought her home, a crazy old man came to the door, saying that this little girl was exceptionally talented and a good prospect for cultivation, and that he wanted to take her as his disciple and take her away.

Old Master Guo naturally refused, giving the old man a severe scolding and ordering his guards to throw him out.

At this point, he deliberately left everyone in suspense, "Guess what?"

The young tea drinker quickly added, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what happened next?"
