There are many shops, crowds are surging, and hawking sounds are coming one after another, which is a lively market scene.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month today, five days have passed before Chen Changhe went to Qinglong Mountain to ask for help, and ten days have left before the Japanese sent Chen Changhe to send fifty women.

As soon as the market in Matou Town opened, it was very lively. Zhang Qingshan took the assault company and took advantage of this opportunity to sneak in Matou Town and come to join Chen Changhe. Zhang Qingshan was not in a hurry at all. After all, Luo Yingjie's investigation of the specific details of the Japanese reinforcements and the authenticity of what Chen Changhe said, both took time. Recently, it was the deadline for Zhang Qingshan to investigate Luo Yingjie's investigation.

Besides, although I believe Chen Changhe dared not trick the commander of the assault regiment to his home to arrest him, so that he could ask for the Japanese to make a contribution, but he was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid of it. Now, it would be better to be careful.

Therefore, Zhang Qingshanran scattered all over the town of Matou Town, and took some people shopping, just buying something for the lesbians such as Xiang Xueqin and others to make them happy, which is also a thank you for their efforts.

Although Matou Town only has a main street about 300 meters long, it has no city walls, so it is well-connected, making it easy to enter and exit and escape. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Qingshan and others are also confident to go shopping.

Although Matou Town is lively, it is not comparable to Weijia Wharf in terms of population or economy, in terms of prosperity. But one thing is definitely better than Weijia Wharf, that is, the Blacksmith Shop. At the beginning, Zhang Qingshan didn't understand why this was, and felt that Weijia Wharf itself was much stronger than Matou Town. There were so many boats and so many lands, and the blacksmith Shop's business was even better than Matou Town.

However, after curiously asking, I realized that the key is that mining requires too many iron tools such as shovels and shovels, and the consumption is also very large. Therefore, even if other aspects are not as good as Weijia Wharf, there are too many Weijia Wharfs in terms of consumption of iron tools... In this era, there are not many good machines for mining. Basically, they are all blasting, and then they are mined with manpower. Moreover, even if there is a good machine with this cigarette, the price must be very high. In order to save costs, the mine owner will never spend such money. Anyway, the labor cost is low and it is very easy to find. Even if someone is sick or dead, it is cost-effective for the mine owner to buy the machine. At worst, just recruit, buy, and grab a batch of labor. Although it is cruel, this is reality.

As a soldier, Zhang Qingshan habitually looked at the problem from the perspective of the soldiers in both behavior and thought. Now, when he saw the blacksmith shop, his first reaction was not to mine or farm, but to think of the big sword and spear: after several consecutive battles, especially in the last Battle of Pigeon Mountain, the assault regiments ate more hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, and the big sword was very depleted. Maybe he didn't care much about it at ordinary times, otherwise it was because of the restrictions of conditions that everyone would sharpen the big sword that had been cut or cut out the gap, and just let it go! However, now that he saw the blacksmith shop, Zhang Qingshan naturally could not let it go.

Anyway, when he went out, Hu Yingze specifically instructed: If you have a rare opportunity to come out, you can see what the assault team can use and buy more so as not to have time to purchase when you need it in the future. Therefore, Zhang Qingshan now brings a lot of money and is not afraid of spending hard.

At this time, Zhang Qingshan was wearing a long silk gown, a small black hat, and a crutch. His outfit looked like a landlord Laocai in his fifties and sixties. However, he was obviously in his twenties, but he had two beards on his upper lips and a pair of very rare sunglasses. It made people know at a glance that it was either a landlord Laocai or a thrifty household, and it was a bit inappropriate... By the way, this sunglasses were definitely snatched by him. Because its senior owner was the traitor Jia family, a traitor.

When the second son Jia Weiquan was captured alive to Qinglong Mountain, he was confiscated by Xiang Tao. However, before Xiang Tao showed his comrades five minutes, he was caught by Zhang Qingshan. Then, Zhang Qingshan took it openly with the excuse of "All the seizures will be returned to the public!". For this reason, Xiang Tao ignored Zhang Qingshan for a whole day. In the end, Zhang Qingshan said that this thing is precious and no one is allowed to hide it privately. He will lend it to anyone who needs it in the future, so that Xiang Tao lost his resentment.

Sun Bingcheng, who followed his left, had to carry two box cannons, and he kept his eyes open and only paid attention to Zhang Qingshan and his surroundings. He could tell that he was a good dog. Zhou Baoyu, who followed his right, was basically the same as Sun Bingcheng's clothes. However, this guy's eyes looked left and swept right, which seemed very clever. In addition, his age, he could tell that he was a little dog-Bingshan full of bad intentions. Zhou Baoyu was actually observing that there was something delicious around him, otherwise he wouldn't have done this.

Of course, there is no need to mention that the plainclothes of a class are spread around it in various outfits.

At that time, Zhang Qingshan and the other two were wearing two tycoons, and they were wearing two tycoons, and the room was smiling, including Xiang Xueqin. However, Zhang Qingshan himself liked to dress like this and insisted on Sun Bingcheng and Zhou Baoyu being the same. Otherwise, they would never take them down the mountain together. What can you do with him? Even if Sun Bingcheng and Zhou Baoyu were so embarrassed that they blushed, they could only compromise in order to finally have the opportunity to go out for a "game".

After spending a long time on the street, Zhang Qingshan and others finally arrived at the largest blacksmith shop.

I looked around and saw no suspicious people. I looked at this half-open and half-storey blacksmith shop.

When he saw Zhang Qingshan and the other two dressed up like a thug, he was watching at the door. A guy who was probably similar to the waiter in the inn quickly ran over, nodded and smiled, "Boss, please come inside."

Zhang Qingshan glanced at the guy, then looked at the blacksmiths around him who were thrusting irons, and then raised his legs and followed the guy into the shop.

There was a shopkeeper in his thirties in the shop. When he saw Zhang Qingshan and the other two walking in, he quickly came up to greet him.

After serving tea and smoking, the shopkeeper sat down and asked with a smile: "The villain's surname is Zhang, and he is the shopkeeper of our store... How dare you ask what the distinguished customer is called?"

Zhang Qingshan ignored him, but got up and walked to the wall inside the store, carefully looking at the various weapons hanging on the wall... In today's words, he was very pretending.

But no matter in that era or now, some people still recognize this kind of pretender. The more you show off, the more they will flatter you and respect you.

Now, the shopkeeper Zhang is going to accompany him to introduce him, but he was grabbed by Zhou Baoyu, a clever ghost, and sneered: "Shopkeeper Zhang, don't get close to our boss. Let me tell you the truth, our master reads a lot of books, is well-versed in the past and the present, knows astronomy and geography. There is nothing in this world that my master can't do..."

After boasting, the honest Sun Bingcheng lowered his head, and Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but feel fortunate: I didn't expect Baoyu to be so shameless when flattering. Fortunately, I brought sunglasses and turned my back to them with a very foresight, otherwise, tsk! tsk!

"Cough! Cough!"

Finally, after Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but cough twice, Zhou Baoyu finished bragging. He also wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then continued lightly: "Hurry up and bring up the treasures of your store. My master is going to like it, the price is easy to say. If you don't like it, you will waste your saliva even if you say something."

As soon as these words were said, Zhang Manager Zhang almost couldn't help but ask the guys outside to come up and beat the three guys out--he stared at the box cannons on the waists of Zhou Baoyu and Sun Bingcheng, enduring it very hard, and finally restrained his plan to fight.

Just because of Zhou Baoyu's words, he had to look at the other party's treasure in the store as soon as he came up. This was a brainless guy or a mess.

Angry, he didn't even take out the handkerchief. He directly wiped the spit all over his face with Zhou Baoyu's saliva sprayed with his face, and then glanced at the box cannon on Sun Bingcheng's waist. He felt that these two guys were not reliable, and only this tall man was still normal. After all, he was a bodyguard, and his calm demeanor could tell at a glance that he was a good guy and was difficult to deal with.

Then, he asked in a deep voice: "Don't joke about the shop. The shop is small and profitable, and it is not easy to make a living. I hope you can be very generous."

Now, it was Zhou Baoyu's turn to be puzzled: I just want to see the quality of weapons made in your store. As soon as I start, I have to look at the best weapons in your store. Naturally, I want to confirm through this weapon. Why do you turn against me so quickly and even say such words to me?

Fortunately, before Zhang Qingshan participated in the revolution, he had been learning craftsmanship outside and had contact with some. Although he didn't understand what big problem happened to Zhou Baoyu's words just now, he suddenly changed his attitude, but he also vaguely guessed that Zhou Baoyu's words just now were definitely inappropriate and had violated the taboos in this industry.

He raised his hands and said lightly without looking back: "Baoyu, speak well."

"Yes! Master."

Zhou Baoyu bent down slightly to agree to Zhang Qingshan, then stood up straight at Zhang Manager Zhang and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, no matter what, can you make the decision here?"

When Zhang Qingshan said, Zhang Manager Zhang felt much more comfortable. He nodded and said, "The shop is a century-old craft, and it is also the largest and oldest shop in Matou Town, and it is definitely the best in reputation."

This is even a tactful admission of this sentence... the reason why I dare not say it directly is because Zhou Baoyu's words just now aroused his dissatisfaction and vigilance.

"Actually, we want to do a big business with you and order a large number of the best-quality weapons. It's just the first time we are doing business with you, so I want to check the quality of the goods in your store first."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Manager Zhang finally regained his previous flattering professional smile: "It's easy to say! It's easy to say! The goods produced by our store are not afraid to say anything else, but in this Matou Town, the goods produced by our store are second, but no one dares to say first."

Then he asked tentatively: "I wonder what goods do you need to order for a few distinguished customers?"

"Big Sword!" Zhou Baoyu said proudly: "And you want the best quality."

"Big knife?"

After muttering, Zhang Manager Zhang looked at the people with some confusion: Although there are many people who order weapons these days, the number will definitely not be large. Because there is so much money, it is better to buy guns directly. Looking at the dress and demeanor of the people, it is definitely not like they are short of money, so...

Manager Zhang didn't dare to think about it, but asked tentatively: "I don't know how much do you need to order?"

"At least two hundred pieces, if they are easy to use, they will have to double the number in the future, and they can cooperate for a long time."

Manager Zhang couldn't help but whisper: It wasn't excitement, but was startled...
