    (ps: Thanks to Hehehe001 for the tip.) The backyard of the blacksmith shop is larger than the front. Under the leadership of Lao Mao, the three of them came to a side room together. Lao Mao took out the key and opened it.  Several people followed them into the wing room. Inside were rows of weapon racks, including swords, guns, swords and halberds. The number was no less than a hundred, which surprised Liu Xu a little.  This old Mao has so many weapons hidden at home, he is really courageous.  However, Liu Xu immediately thought that he must have someone to rely on behind him, otherwise he would not be so courageous.  On the contrary, Su Wang and Amu were not surprised.  "The inventory in my shop is all here. Liu Shuai, what weapons do you want to buy?" Old Mao pointed casually and asked Liu Xu directly.  "I want to buy two knives, both barrier knives and horizontal knives. If there are good daggers, I would also like to buy a few." Liu Xu looked at it for a moment and then expressed his plan.  The horizontal sword is now a standard weapon commonly equipped among army soldiers. It is suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield. It is long in size, almost more than one meter in size. It is suitable for holding the sword with both hands. Now Wuhou is uniformly equipped with this horizontal sword.  Of course, they are only made of iron, not steel, unless, like Su Wang, you are willing to spend money to buy them yourself.  The barrier knife is shorter in size, about one meter, and can be wielded with one hand, suitable for protecting the enemy. Compared with Liu Xu's temperament, he prefers the barrier knife, which is more flexible and more convenient for killing people in close combat.  "Then come over here and take a look. There are all barrier knives and horizontal knives here." Under Lao Mao's greeting, the three of them came to the row of weapon racks in the inner corner. They saw that there were rows of weapons racks on them.  Barrier knife and horizontal knife.  Liu Xu took a quick look and saw that only three of them were made of steel, two barrier knives and one horizontal knife. From his modern perspective, the quality was really average, and the purity of the steel was average.  It's worse than the one Su Wang has now.  Liu Xu was too lazy to pick it up and inspect it carefully. He shook his head slightly and said, "These are not what I want. Are there any better ones?" Old Mao was slightly stunned and said with a hint of surprise: "Don't you take a closer look? This  Three of them are steel knives, which are very sharp. Liu Xu smiled slightly and shook his head: "The steel material of these three is not very good. Anyway, if you have better ones, you can."  Take it out and show it to me. I won't miss you in terms of price. If not, I will have to buy it elsewhere." Old Mao couldn't help but look at Su Wang.  But Su Wang felt a little embarrassed at this time. He had boasted to Liu Xu for a while that Lao Mao had good products, but now Liu Xu didn't like him at all.  He knew that Old Mao must still have some goods in the box that he had not taken out, so he immediately said angrily: "Old Mao, I know you must have some good goods hidden away. We, Liu Shuai, are a big customer.  I won¡¯t lose your money, so stop hiding it.¡± After a moment of hesitation, Lao Mao nodded and said, ¡°Okay, you follow me to the house to get it.¡± The three of them followed Lao Mao out again.  Go to his home. His home is only twenty or thirty meters away from the blacksmith shop, but it is a large courtyard in a very good location. It is larger than Liu Xu's current home, and the decoration is more exquisite.  It really surprised Liu Xu that he, a blacksmith, could manage such a large yard.  However, Qian Butcher, a meat seller, has so much money, so it makes sense that he, a blacksmith who secretly sells weapons, has money.  Not long after waiting in the front hall, Lao Mao came back with a bag of weapons wrapped in green cloth.  The old man pulled out a barrier sword from the scabbard with a clanging sound and said with pride: "This barrier sword is made using the ancestral steel-making method of my family. When I was thirty-three years old,  The first fine iron knife I made. Look at the pattern. If it is not made of fine steel, it cannot show this pattern. I used to keep it at home and was reluctant to sell it, but now I feel that if I kept it at home, it would be really bad.  It's unfair to let the sword fall into dust. Liu Shuai, please take a look and buy it if it's suitable." "You old man, I knew you had a good stock.  You said there are none." Su Wang almost drooled when he saw such a good steel knife. Needless to say, he was also a knife lover.  Lao Mao rolled his eyes at him and said unceremoniously: "I also want to sell this sword to the talent. Besides, can you afford it?" Su Wang glared at him angrily, but couldn't say anything to refute.  Come.  Liu Xu took the steel knife, also known as the iron knife, and looked at it carefully.  The professionalism in his previous life gave him some understanding of cold weapons, and the steel material of this one was more than one level better than the previous three.  Compared with this steel knife, the previous three can only be said to be semi-steel knives or iron knives, and the steel material contained in them is really less.  The steel barrier in my hand now??, the steel used should be Malay steel, which is slightly worse than Japanese steel, and of course not as good as Damascus steel. However, it is also a rare good steel material in this era.  It is indeed not an exaggeration to call it a treasured sword.  "This knife of yours is indeed very good. The steel used for this should have been shipped by sea, right?" Liu Xu stretched out his fingers and gently slid them on the pattern of the blade, giving him the feeling of touching a woman's smooth skin.  Unparalleled comfort and pleasure.  "Liu Shuai is very knowledgeable. I did buy the steel used in this steel knife from those merchants. However, this kind of steel is very rare. The foreign officials also strictly prohibit its circulation to the outside world, so it is very difficult to obtain it.  I was lucky enough to buy some. This kind of steel is much better than what we have here." Su Wang said with some disbelief: "Isn't it really fake?  "The difference shouldn't be big." "What do you know? I've been in this business for decades. Of course I know the quality of various steel materials. Can I still lie to you?" Liu Xu smiled.  He nodded and agreed: "Shopkeeper Mao is right. Although China has a vast land and rich resources, we are slightly inferior to the barbarians in terms of weapons. As far as I know, as far as this knife is concerned, the best is the Damascus steel knife.  It is a kind of steel knife from the country of food. That kind of steel knife is the sharpest nowadays. The second is a kind of scimitar made by the Persians, which is also very sharp. The steel they use is better than what I have now.  The steel knife in this hand is even better. In addition, I heard that the Japanese knives produced in Japan are also very sharp." When Liu Xu said this, Blacksmith Mao and Su Wang were a little surprised.  Blacksmith Mao said with great admiration: "Liu Shuai is really knowledgeable and talented, and he actually knows so much. The scimitars used by those big cannibals are indeed very sharp, much better than what we use here, and I also have Japanese knives."  You know, it is indeed sharper than what we have here, but I am confident that the one I made is not inferior to them." Liu Xu did not argue with him, but temporarily put down the barrier knife in his hand.  Go and see another cross-blade and two daggers in the package.  The steel material of the horizontal knife is obviously not imported Malay steel, but the purity is pretty good and it also has patterns.  Liu Xu didn't care much about this. The steel used in the two daggers was similar to that of a horizontal knife, and Liu Xu didn't have much requirements for the daggers.  Therefore, I am very satisfied with the inventory that Lao Mao brought out this time.  Now that he was interested in them all, Liu Xu said directly: "Shopkeeper Mao, I am very satisfied with these four weapons. I have bought them all. You can make a price." Su Wang hurriedly bargained for the price and said: "Old `  Mao, although our Liu Shuai is not short of money, you have to give him a real price. If the price is reasonable, everyone in our Wuhou Shop will inevitably come to you to buy weapons. You may not know it yet.  It seems that everyone is about to get rich, and everyone is not short of money. "Although Liu Xu is not short of money now, he also knows that the price of a sword like this in his hand is rare, so he took the opportunity to say: "Su Wang.  That¡¯s right. The weapons used by everyone in our Wuhou Shop are not very good now. I also plan to replace them in the near future. I will definitely replace them frequently in the future. Shopkeeper Mao may wish to cooperate with our Wuhou Shop in the future.¡±  After thinking about it in his mind, Blacksmith Mao said, "Let's do this. I also know that Liu Shuai is a man who knows and loves knives, so I don't want more. You only need five taels of silver for this barrier sword. Heng Dao."  "Three taels, think of those two daggers as gifts from me. A total of eight taels." "Thisis too expensive," Su Wang asked with his mouth wide open.  Blacksmith Mao ignored Su Wang and looked at Liu Xu, waiting for his answer.  Liu Xu originally expected that the price of this Malay steel knife would be at least ten taels, but unexpectedly it was less than half. He was very satisfied, so he simply smiled and nodded: "Okay, deal." Seeing Liu Xu  Being so happy, Blacksmith Mao was a little stunned. He was originally prepared to bargain with Liu Xu.
