Cannon Fodder: Forced Counterattack

Walking along the way, most of the shops on both sides of the street hang up banner advertisements, fluttering in the wind, and you can see restaurants and teahouses at a glance.

There are also many small stalls along the street, most of them buy some odds and ends, causing a few girls to linger, and everyone is not in a hurry, just follow them around. Most of the street stalls are ordinary hawkers and small producers. , low price, variety.

As a newcomer seeing this world for the first time, Ao Ran was actually quite curious, but he was a grown man after all, so he was somewhat reserved.

Walking and walking, Ao Ran came to a small stall, and the small ornaments on the stall were very beautiful.

"Master, do you like this wooden hairpin?" His tone was full of excitement.

Ao Ran was surprised: "Wooden hairpin?"

It is really hard for Ao Ran to imagine that this is a wooden hairpin. After all, according to common sense, wood should not be so transparent. In this light golden wooden hairpin, there are traces of palace wall red like thin lines, and the texture is like jade. feeling very good.

The small stall owner nodded, put away his excitement and asked in doubt: "Your master also came from somewhere else? This is the very famous golden wood flower branch here."

Ao Ran let out a sigh, and couldn't help sighing that there are such miraculous trees in this world. In the original book, it was only mentioned that the golden wood flower is something similar to the national flower in the area of ​​Jingjia. The flowers are very beautiful. In the past three or four days of the grand event, the plot described in the book is mainly to find beautiful women for the protagonist, and all the flowers are used as foils.

The owner of the small stall saw Ao Ran holding the wooden hairpin in a daze, and said: "Young master, I think I have never seen this golden tree flower. According to the people in the town, the golden tree flower is in full bloom in the past two days. There will be a grand event in the town, and young master can have a good time."

Ao Ran nodded, wondering if the protagonist's peach blossom has come?Look at the wooden hairpin again: "Boss, this workmanship is pretty good."

The stall owner was fair-looking, and he looked stable, but he was elated when he heard Ao Ran's praise, and he stroked his non-existent beard, and smiled: "Young master, I don't know, this golden wood flower branch The stem is extremely hard, and it is difficult for ordinary people to scratch one or two of them with a knife, let alone carve flowers."

Ao Ran squeezed the hairpin in his hand, it was indeed so, the hardness was also the reason why he thought it was jade.

Ao Ran was listening carefully, but he heard Jing Xiang call him: "Ao Ran, what are you looking at, let me see."

Ao Ran handed over the wooden hairpin in his hand: "Does it look good?"

Jing Xiang exclaimed: "Golden wood flower branch, the boss's craftsmanship is good."

The two compliments in a row made the stall owner laugh and laugh. Looking at the young masters and ladies who came around, he shook his head and said, "Everyone has martial arts skills in someone's family. Although I am thin and weak, I am very strong and have a little internal strength. , I see that you young masters and young ladies are also people who practice martial arts."

Jingxiang and the girls nodded.

The owner of the stall continued: "The skills of the small family are mediocre. It is difficult to get along in this continent where strong people gather, and then it gradually declines. The family ancestors used to hold knives. In order to make a living, I picked up this small carving knife. Because of the internal strength, we can carve flowers from hard things that ordinary people can't rub off. The carving skills have been passed down to me. It can be said that it is about to be carried forward, my skill, even my grandfather said I was a genius, he was willing to bow down."

In the next few sentences, the little boss surnamed Yu said with pride.

Jing Ziqi: "You are so powerful, why have I never seen you before?"

Boss Yu snorted softly, quite arrogantly: "How can craftsmen like us stay in one place? That can only limit our horizons and prevent our progress. Take this golden tree flower as an example. If you stay at home and don't go out to travel, you won't encounter it, and you won't be able to carve such a masterpiece."

Jing Qi couldn't help but said: "You are not humble at all."

Little Boss: "Humility is not only an insult to my craftsmanship, but also a question to the abilities of my ancestors."

Ao Ran smiled, this little boss is really interesting.

Jing Xiang: "You are quite eloquent."

Satisfied, the boss continued: "You guys are doing well here. This golden tree flower is amazing and extremely beautiful. With my craftsmanship, this tree is not in vain."

Jing Zi scoffed.

The boss said temptingly: "How about it, do you guys still like it? If you like it, buy it quickly. I will stay here until the day after tomorrow at most. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Everyone in the Jing family is not short of money, so they will buy it if they like it, Jing Fan asked, "How much?"

The boss smiled: "Five taels of gold, one."

Jing Xiang said angrily, "Why don't you go grab it?"

Boss Yu shook his head: "Only my family can make this thing. The price is fair and honest, and I will never deceive customers. If I get it elsewhere, it can definitely be doubled."

Jing Zi snorted, "If so many of us buy five taels of gold, you won't be afraid that the money will crush you to death."

Boss Yu laughed mischievously: "Don't worry about it, there is a bank behind me. If you pay, I will exchange it for bank notes."

Jing Zi: "..."

This little peddler looks like a man, but he smiles so treacherously.

Jing Xiang wanted to say something else, but Jing Fan stopped him: "It's not too expensive, just come out to play, just have fun, take it yourself if you like."

Jing Qi said happily: "Brother Jing Fan, you pay."

Jing Fan nodded.

Jingqi stared at her eyes: "Thank you brother, then I will take this."

She held in her hand the one that Ao Ran had fancy at first, it was really exquisite and beautiful.

For this kind of thing, a big man like Ao Ran doesn't care, he mainly feels embarrassed at the moment, he is leading a group of people into a big pit!

Unexpectedly, this kid is so good at slaughtering, he just wants to pay them a lot of money, and Jing Fan is also generous enough, so he doesn't know how to bargain.

Several little girls each chose one, and several teenagers also took one each.

Jing Xiang saw that neither Jing Fan nor Ao Ran were there, so she couldn't help asking: "Is it gone?"

Boss Yu narrowed his eyes with a smile: "No, I just made these few, each of which is different, and each has only one."

Jing Xiang looked at Jing Fan and Ao Ran, frowning: "I only have one, who will give it to you two?"

Ao Ran couldn't help laughing: "It's possible that we two big men even robbed you of a little girl's hair ornament."

Jing Fan also patted Jing Xiang's head: "I don't want it."

Jing Xiang sighed and looked at Ao Ran and said, "It was originally your fancy, but in the end we took it."

Ao Ran pinched her face with a smile: "Don't be worried, if you want to be worried, I am worried. I just looked at it casually, and it cost your brother a lot of money. Now I have to think about whether your brother will be happy at night. He will sell me while I am asleep to make up for the money he spent."

Jing Xiangle: "Brother, if you take action at night, I will help you."

Jing Fan just smiled: "It's better to spend the money as early as possible, so as not to lose the chance to spend it someday."

Jing Xiang was furious: "Brother, you said that, I panicked."

Ao Ran turned to look at Jing Fan, only to see the slightly raised corners of her lips covered by her hair, which was a bit evil.
