    When Liu Xu came out of Blacksmith Mao's house, he hung the barrier knife directly on his waist, a dagger in his arms, and another dagger stuck in his waist. As for the horizontal knife, he gave it to Amu to hold.  .  When Shi San was a child, Liu Xu had the habit of carrying a dagger on his body at all times, but it was usually inserted discreetly in his leg, just in case.  In this era of cold weapons, Liu Xu's current strength has not been fully restored, so it is necessary to strengthen it. It is normal to carry two daggers on his body.  After returning home, Liu Xu planned to make leggings.  Seeing that it was still early, Liu Xu felt that it was necessary to strengthen his personal security. After asking about Amu's situation, he was indeed better at his own country's weapon-the Arabian scimitar. He used to use this kind of Tang Dynasty horizontal sword.  If it has not been used at all, its strength will be greatly reduced.  Liu Xu didn¡¯t think much, so he went to the East Market again and found the Arab store where he bought the iron box yesterday. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This time Liu Xu came to visit again, the shopkeeper of Dashi was even more enthusiastic and even exchanged names with each other.  The shopkeeper¡¯s name is Fahru. He comes from the Persian Gulf region, but he is an authentic Arab. He has been doing business in Laxing Palace for more than ten years. At first, he returned it every two years, but in recent years he has not returned.  Why did he go back? Instead, he moved his family here to settle down and settle down here.  After a conversation, the two became much closer. Fahru also gave a detailed explanation of the situation in his own store. In fact, he is just a grocery store. Whatever sells is not necessarily theirs.  Some of the goods produced in his own country were collected by Arab merchant ships from other countries and regions along the way, and some were even local goods from the Southern Han Dynasty. But in general, he sold more goods from his own country and they were more popular.  .  In addition, he also acts as a middleman, helping merchants in Arabia who are unfamiliar with the situation here to purchase the Chinese products they need and earn the price difference. He also helps some merchants from the Southern Han Dynasty sell goods to Arabia. This is the nature of an international trading company.  .  Liu Xu said that he might also let him sell things in the future. What is the specific method of cooperation?  Fahru became even less enthusiastic after hearing this, and offered two ways of cooperation. One is for him to buy it out at a fixed price, and the other is to charge a commission to look at different products. The commission is one or two taels of the price of the goods sold.  become.  After Liu Xu heard this, he smiled and said that they could adopt another third method of cooperation, that is, Liu Xu would set the lowest price and let him sell it. Selling more and selling less would depend on Helu's own ability.  After Fahru thought about it for a while, this can be considered, but they must discuss the specific product pricing together.  Liu Xu smiled and nodded in agreement, saying that as long as the things were made, they would be handed over to him for sale in the future.  After hearing what Liu Xu said, Fahru became even more polite to Liu Xu.  After this digression, when Liu Xu talked about buying an Arabian scimitar, Fahru immediately took them to the backyard and took out a good scimitar from the warehouse.  And sold it to him at the cost price of ten taels of silver.  This scimitar should actually be a Persian Seishel scimitar. After Liu Xu carefully inspected it, he confirmed that it was indeed a good knife. The steel material was Damascus pattern steel, which was better than the barrier knife in his hand now.  Some of the above are really rare in this era of cold weapons, and ten taels of silver is considered reasonable.  Even Liu Xu himself was a little moved when he saw it, but he was really not familiar with this kind of scimitar, especially because he was not very willing to accept this type of knife.  So, after reading it, I gave it to Amu to read.  Amu acted very indifferently, just looked at it for a while, waved it a few times, and said concisely and clearly: "Not bad." Liu Xu said in a normal way: "Since you think it is good, then buy it.  You deserve this knife." Amu couldn't help but look slightly stunned when he heard this. Although he vaguely guessed that Liu Xu might have bought it for him, he didn't expect it to be true.  Although he is a bit taciturn and doesn't like to talk much, at this time, he quickly and respectfully performed the traditional Arabic salute and said: "Thank you for your trust, master. I will protect your master's safety to the death." "Well, I believe you won't let me  Disappointed." After Liu Xu finished speaking, he happily gave the silver to Fahru, and then handed the scimitar to Amu.  Amu took it respectfully and put it on skillfully.  After Fahru collected the money, he exclaimed with admiration: "It is great luck for a fellow tribesman of mine to meet such a good master like you." Su Wang, who was standing next to him, could not understand the Arabic spoken by the two of them just now.  Seeing the expression on Liu Xu's face as he gave Amu the bearded knife worth ten taels of silver to wear, he couldn't help but ask: "Liu Shuai, you spent so much money to buy this knife, can't it be a real friendship?"?This is for slaves, right?  " "Of course it's for him to use, otherwise why would I buy it?  "Liu Xu asked back. Su Wang couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue, and quickly persuaded him kindly: "Liu Shuai, you just bought this slave yesterday, and you don't even know what his temper is. You don't restrain him now, and you still buy him such a good thing.  Hu Dao, I'm afraid of raising tigers in the future.  " "Don't worry, I know what's going on.  Liu Xu waved his hand and changed the subject, "Do you have anything to buy?"  If not, let's go back.  " Su Wang had no choice but to say helplessly: "No.  " "Then go back.  " Liu Xu returned to Qinglongfang with San. As soon as they entered the workshop, there was a commotion. When everyone saw Liu Xu coming, they quickly stopped talking. Huang Ermao was the first to rush out, and Jiu was respectful for the first time.  Shidu bowed with his hands raised, and then said angrily: "Liu Shuai, please make the decision. My brother was beaten up by the river, and the candied haws and the money he had on him were robbed.  I want to take the big guys over to retrieve the place, but a few cowards don't agree.  Liu Xu couldn't help but his face darkened when he heard this, and asked: "How is your brother's injury?"  Who hit him?  Huang Ermao gritted his teeth and said, "My nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten."  It's the Chu people who stole our business before.  Liu Xu asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there in this group of Chu people?"  How is the strength?  " Huang Ermao quickly replied: "There are about a dozen people.  They are all rebels from the Chu region in the past. In the past few years, the Chu region has been in chaos, and they have been killing each other. These rebels have been flowing from the Chu region to our side, grabbing food at the dock.  Liu Xu then asked: "So, these people are all desperadoes?"  " Huang Ermao hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "That's right.  Liu Xu immediately fell silent. In his heart, he had already made up his mind to teach this group of Chu people who were snatching food a profound lesson and to serve as a warning to others. Otherwise, the candied haws business would definitely not be able to continue in the future, let alone him.  Other business in the future. However, he also needs to take advantage of this time to carefully identify who is greedy for life and fear of death. After Liu Xu pretended to ponder for a while, he asked everyone: "What do you think about this?"  How's it going?  Do you want to settle the score with those Chu people?  Of course Huang Ermao immediately said loudly: "Of course we want to settle the score with them?"  Otherwise, how can we do business on the other side of the river in the future?  The business there is the best, and you can make thousands of dollars a day.  "The others looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke for a while. After a while, Wang Meng said in a deep voice: "I think Er Mao is right. If this happens, no business can be done on the other side of the river in the future.  , our losses will be great.  What's more, people are bullying us. If we don't teach them a lesson, where will our Qinglongfang Wuhoupu's reputation go?  Liu Xu was not in a hurry to express his attitude. He did not comment on Wang Meng's words. He looked at the others calmly and asked, "Don't you all have any opinions?"  Huang Ermao's younger brother can also be regarded as our man. He was hired by all of us.  It's impossible for us to ignore him when we see him being beaten.  " Su Wang was also the second to stand up and express his position at this time: "I think Wang Meng is right. We can't just say a word when our employees are beaten.  It depends on the owner to beat a dog. These Chu people don't give us face.  " Although Su Wang said this on Huang Ermao's side, Huang Ermao was furious when he heard it and cursed: "Monkey, you are a fucking dog.  "
