Chapter 2 Selling Scythes

In addition to making five sickles with white light, Ge Xiaohua's ingenuity value also increased when making iron tools.

Especially using traditional hammering and forging techniques, physical fitness has been greatly improved.

The muscles of the arms gradually begin to take shape, which is why traditional blacksmiths are extremely strong.

Ge Xiaohua personally delivered the five sickles to Third Grandpa's house. His son and grandson have also settled in the city. Only he and Third Grandma are in their hometown.

This has become the norm in the village. There are almost no young people in the village, only the elderly and children.

"Xiaohua, your skills are not as good as those of your father and grandfather. They are a bit rougher." The third grandfather told the truth without being polite at all.

Ge Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, Third Grandpa, my skills still need to be improved."

"Keep working hard." The third grandfather was about to go to the room to get the money, but Ge Xiaohua waved his hand and said that he didn't need the money. It was just a dull sickle, so how could he easily collect the money.

"Since you don't want money, just take a bucket of peanut oil back. It was just squeezed yesterday and it's very fragrant."

"Thank you, Third Grandpa." Ge Xiaohua did not refuse. He had just arrived in his hometown and had not prepared many things. Peanut oil was exactly what he lacked.

A barrel of 30 kilograms of peanut oil is actually worth more than his five sickles, and farmers usually keep the peanut oil they squeeze for their own consumption. It is still difficult to buy peanut oil of such high quality.

Ge Xiaohua does not need to buy cooking oil during this period, but other daily necessities still need to be replenished.

What's more, there are several sickles with attributes that need to be sold at home. He mainly wants to see how much these sickles are worth.

The sharp and sturdy attributes are within the normal range of attribute blessings, and selling them will not cause any sensation.

Relatively speaking, the white light hoe is blessed with the attribute of harvesting gains, which should be relatively rare, so I will leave it to myself to study.

At the Gaoshan Township market, villagers were rubbing shoulders with each other. As a young man who has been away from home all year round, few local people recognized Ge Xiaohua, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Ge Xiaohua drove an old bent-beam motorcycle borrowed from his third grandfather's house and drove to the market for about 15 minutes. Anyway, he just wanted to sell a few sickles and buy some daily necessities. It was more convenient to ride a motorcycle.

Ge Xiaohua chose a flat ground in front of the township government and sat on the ground. The sickles were neatly arranged on the ground, with sharp attributes on the left and solid attributes on the right.

The sickle is a commonly used agricultural tool, and you can buy it in many hardware stores in the market.

Those sickles are all mechanized and of average quality, and often have various problems before long. However, they are cheap, about 20 yuan a piece, and are still the choice of many people.

A well-made sickle is naturally not of the same grade as one mass-produced by molds, and the appearance is different.

The materials used are extremely solid and shine under the sunlight. Soon some people came to inquire about the price. Good tools can improve efficiency and will definitely be loved by people.

"Young man, these sickles are good, how much do they cost?" An uncle in his forties came over and asked. You can tell from the calluses on his hands that he is a laborer.

"This one costs 100 yuan. The others are not for sale for the time being." Ge Xiaohua pointed to the first one. It was a sickle with a sharpness +1. The other attributes were higher. He hadn't figured out how to price it yet.

"100 yuan? It's too expensive. The sickle in the hardware store is only 20 yuan a piece." The middle-aged uncle said that he was a little dissatisfied with the price, but he did not leave immediately. He obviously felt attached to the sickle.

Ge Xiaohua patiently explained: "Uncle, I made this sickle purely by hand. The iron material used is several times that of an ordinary sickle, and it takes a lot of time to make. You can tell by looking at the quality of this sickle. One hundred yuan is absolutely

It’s worth the price. Although a 20 yuan sickle is cheap, it won’t last long.”

"You seem to be right. Instead of changing the sickle from time to time, it is better to buy a better one. I bought it for a hundred yuan. By the way, you said you made this sickle?"

"Yes, you see there is a "Kudzu" symbol on the end of the sickle blade."

"Ge's Blacksmith Shop? Didn't it close for ten years?"

"Just opened now."

"That's good. If you need it in the future, I will come to place an order."

"welcome."

Ge Xiaohua finally understood why Grandpa and the others had to put symbols on them when making iron tools. It was also a means of publicity, like a trademark.

The first sharpness +1 sickle was successfully sold, and the price was 5 times that of an ordinary sickle, which was a relatively good start.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, so Ge ​​Xiaohua set up his stall in the township government, which is a place with a high flow of people. Soon someone came to inquire.

"How to sell a sickle?" The person asking was a middle-aged woman. Ge Xiaohua saw that he was pointing at a sickle with a +3 sharpness attribute. He thought for a moment and said, "3,000 yuan."

"Are you crazy about money?" the middle-aged woman muttered and left, but Ge Xiaohua's offer attracted an out-of-town tourist.

The scenery around Gaoshan Township is relatively beautiful, and there are often people driving there. Opposite the township government is a relatively large open space, and many people like to park their cars here.

"Little brother, selling a sickle for three thousand is indeed a bit crazy." Ge Xiaohua looked at the other person. He was wearing a set of business casual clothes and was in his early forties.

The brown leather shoes were very shiny and not dusty at all. He was obviously not a local, but probably a tourist who drove over.

Ge Xiaohua didn't say much, but pulled out a strand of hair and placed it vertically on the sickle blade in front of the middle-aged man.

I saw that the hair met the blade and was cut instantly without any pause, just like a peerless sword in ancient times.

"This..." The tourist was a little shocked. In such a small place, could he encounter the artifact sickle?

"Do you think a sickle of this size is worth three thousand?"

"Judging from the sharpness, it is indeed not expensive, but a sickle..."

It is true that a farming sickle, no matter how sharp it is, is of little use to him. If it is a sword, then it would be good to keep it for collection.

"There are many good swords, but there are few good sickles..." Ge Xiaohua said this, and the tourist actually started to want to buy it.

Three thousand yuan is nothing to him, not to mention the sharpness of this sickle that he rarely sees. It can be collected and occasionally used to show off in front of friends.

"I want this sickle, three thousand! Should I swipe you, or should you swipe me?"

"You scan it for me." Ge Xiaohua skillfully took out his mobile phone, set the amount, let the visitor scan it, and completed the three thousand transaction!

There was a pleasant sound of money being put into the account. Ge Xiaohua wrapped the sickle blade in newspaper and handed it to the other party.

The sickles with +1 and +3 sharpness values ​​were sold. Ge Xiaohua also had a +5 sharpness sickle and two sickles with solid properties of +3 and +5, but they were not sold because the asking price was a bit high.

But just selling the +3 sharp sickle and earning 3,000 yuan was enough for Ge Xiaohua to go shopping in the market.
