Chapter 141 Ebony Bow

The shopkeeper said: "My father made this. It has been 30 years ago. During that time, many people wanted to buy it, but they heard that this ebony bow has only three arrows, so they don't want it."

Mingyan smiled lightly, three arrows rank, others dislike it, but it is not a problem for her.

"What's the price?" Mingyan asked straight to the point.

"Ah?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, seeing Mingyan's serious face, not joking, he understood that the other party really wanted to buy his ebony bow.

"Ebony wood is hard to find, and it took thousands of years to form this ebony wood. My father got some of it from a friend because of a coincidence. Due to the problem of the arrow rank, it can't reach the original price, but it won't be too cheap. If you If you buy it sincerely, it will be 2000 taels." The shopkeeper said.

Mingyan didn't directly accept it, nor did she say that she didn't accept it. Looking at the ebony bow, some basic information about ebony flashed in her mind.

Ebony, also known as gloomy wood, was formed between 800 and 8000 years ago.

The ancients said: Half a square of ebony at home is better than a box of treasures.

In the past dynasties, ebony was used as a thing to ward off evil spirits, and various pendants made of handicrafts were worn on the body.

It is also said: because of the aura of heaven and earth, gathering the essence of the sun and the moon, it is the spirit of ten thousand trees and the respect of spiritual trees.

"Shopkeeper, you are not kind." Ming Yan said with a smile.

This person really took her for a fool?

No matter how rare this ebony is, it is not as rare as golden nanmu.

In modern times, the price of golden nanmu is 15 to [-] per cubic meter.

How heavy is the ebony bow made this way?Just ask her for 2000 taels of silver——

Mingyan judged that the other party must be joking.

2000 taels of silver, according to the price of silver in the early years, three yuan per gram (after the end of the world, gold and silver are basically worthless, and banknotes are gradually eliminated and replaced by crystal nuclei), one tael of silver is about fifty grams, 2000 taels Silver is 30 soft sister coins.

No matter how it is calculated, it is not suitable.

She is stupid to follow the other party's routine.

Mingyan walked to the edge of the ebony bow, picked it up and played with it for a while, pointed to a place and said: "This ebony bow was not done well when it was made, do you have the nerve to ask me so much for it?"

The store owner was guilty, he just said part of the reason why the bow was not sold, and also said something about feelings, how did this make him stop?

"Then how much do you say?" The shopkeeper hesitated.

Mingyan plucked the bowstring and said: "Just this bow, 200 taels is worth the sky, and you still say 2000 taels. Fortunately, I don't have your peers here, otherwise I must feel ashamed."

The shopkeeper choked his neck and said, "Then do you want it or not!"

Mingyan didn't like the opponent's trick: "Don't say it, I really don't want it. It's not as practical as that ordinary wooden bow. If it's worn out or broken, you can buy a hundred new ones. I don't think it's too expensive for just 200 taels." , 200 taels is enough for me to buy how many wooden bows and iron bows!"

That's right, there is Brother Ming at home who is a carpenter, so it would be nice to ask him to help make a wooden bow.

Mingyan thought about putting down the ebony bow, turned around and walked out: "Forget it, you are dishonest in business, my neighbor's family is a carpenter, and when the time comes, you can casually sell a wooden bow. spend money."

The store owner was almost pissed off when he heard this!
"Hey, don't go, can't I sell it to you? 200 taels is 200 taels!"

Ming Yan walked to the door: "Don't tell me, I won't buy it, 200 taels is too expensive for me!"

The shopkeeper stepped forward to stop Mingyan: "Then what do you want to buy?"
