Chapter 93 17. Talented People Who Are Proficient in Iron Cannons

Drag two children who were still looking out to watch the excitement into the store, and Aji actually asked Chen San: "Did you see the blood? I think I saw it." Chen San shook his head, "I saw that person was stepped on by someone on the face."

Damn, there is no one in this world who doesn't like to watch the excitement, from the age of ninety-nine to the age of just learning to walk. Why do you want to watch the excitement as soon as you see it? Are you short of a handful of melon seeds? It would be better to make a cup of tea.

If Xiao Pingtai hadn't dragged them, these two people might have run to the corner of the street to watch, and if it was exaggerated, they might even applaud. Young people nowadays, always want to see the big news, what a trick.

After entering the store, a young user immediately came to greet me. His attitude was very enthusiastic, and his smile was very standard and polite, not at all artificial. The overall level of the service industry in this era is very good.

Xiao Pingtai couldn't help but think of a joke in the future. In ancient romantic places, they all introduced that the girls here were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. Gentle and lovely, with a sweet smile. The current pornographic service industry only introduces big breasts and good sex positions.

Is this an advancement or regression of the times?

What a cruel social development!

Xiao Pingtai saw that the shop assistants were busy with various things, and he looked around casually and found that the boss seemed to be away from the shop.

So he asked the user: "Is the boss Tsuda not here?" "The boss went to the town hall to discuss something. What can I do for you?" "No, no, I'm just asking." "Kobayata waved his hands quickly.

Since Tsuda Soki or Tsuda Sotatsu was not there, there was no point in staying. Kobayata said he wanted to buy one Sakai teppo and one Saiga teppo, and the user heard that this was a big deal, dozens of taels of gold, more than the price of selling thirty barrels of miso. So he smiled and asked Kobayata to wait.

Soon, a clerk took out six teppo from the warehouse behind the store, three of each type of teppo, and the quality was guaranteed. The big merchant's store is here, with dozens or hundreds of years of reputation as a guarantee, and basically no inferior goods will be sold as good ones.

And It is not convenient to test in Sakaimachi. After all, there is no such a large space in a city with such a large population. It is full of people. If there is an empty space that can be used as a warehouse for stacking goods, it can make a lot of money every day. Why would it be left unused? No matter how wealthy a businessman is, he is still a profit-seeking businessman.

Xiao Pingtai actually doesn't know much about matchlock guns. Suddenly, he remembered that Chen San's father sold this. And they sell genuine Portuguese matchlock guns, while the ones in this store are all counterfeit goods. He must know how to distinguish the good from the bad with things he has played with since he was a child.

"Chen San, come and take a look. "Xiao Pingtai called Chen San, who was quietly looking around, over, and handed the iron cannon to him. The people in the store were also surprised. Let a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child come and see it?

The iron cannon of six or seven pounds was considered heavy in the hands of thirteen or fourteen-year-old Chen San, but he was better developed than everyone present, and it was not difficult for him to hold the iron cannon with a physique of more than 1.5 meters.

Chen San was indeed very familiar with the matchlock gun. After he got it, he weighed it first. If it was made of junk materials, it would be lighter than an ordinary iron cannon. This was the most obvious way to distinguish the quality of the iron cannon. Then he analyzed and observed the specific quality of the iron cannon.

He first unscrewed the closing bolt at the tail of the iron cannon, Then screw it on again, repeat this several times, and carefully observe whether the threads fit and whether they can be tightened perfectly, otherwise it will affect the airtightness of the iron cannon when firing. If the airtightness is very poor, the range of the iron cannon will be greatly reduced, and it may even be only three to five meters.

After checking the tail of the barrel, take out the barrel separately, point it at a bright place outdoors, and use your eyes to aim at the barrel to see if the barrel is drilled smoothly and there are no bulges or depressions.

Then check whether the trigger is stuck, and finally check whether the barrel is firmly fixed on the wooden support with a copper hoop.

After a few minutes, I checked everything again. Sure enough, the quality is good, and all parts are made very well. Although it is a completely handmade product , but it fits perfectly together without any mistakes.

However, Tatsuzo also said that the Sakai teppo is definitely not as far as the Saiga teppo. Because the Sakai teppo has increased the caliber and shortened the barrel length, although it makes the barrel easier to build and increases the wall thickness to ensure the safety of shooting, the projectile fired will inevitably not hit as far as the Saiga barrel and the Kunitomo barrel due to insufficient initial kinetic energy.

Kobayata didn't really want to use it, he just wanted to buy a sample, so it didn't matter. As long as the quality is good, you can buy it. Originally, teppo from different places have their own advantages and disadvantages, so just choose the one that is balanced in all aspects.

However, a middle-aged hand who was obviously the manager of the store spoke up, He didn't expect that Chen San, a southern barbarian, not only spoke fluent Japanese, but also mastered the matchlock gun at a young age. It was indeed a weapon imported from the southern barbarians, and the southern barbarians were very familiar with it.

They also saw it and met a buyer who knew the goods. But they were originally conscientious merchants, a century-old store, and they didn't sell fakes.

So Xiao Pingtai bought one each at the price of 14 taels of gold. After all, Sakaimachi is an international metropolis, and the price is definitely higher than that of Kunitomo. Just like us now, a bowl of noodles in our small county town is about eight or ten yuan, and there are also a few slices of beef as thin as cicada wings. In Shanghai, it must be eighteen or twenty, right? It's understandable, anyway, happy trading.

Kodaira was glad when he thought that he didn't have to go further south to the muddy waters of Kii Province. Last time, Hatakeyama Takamasa's 40,000 men were victorious at first, and even beat Miyoshi Yoshihide to death in Kumeda. However, Miyoshi Nagakei, who had regained his breath, gave him a heavy beating, and Naomitsu Yukawa was beaten to death. The rest of the Hatakeyama family abandoned their armor and ran back. Kii is in chaos now.

As for Awa, I didn’t dare to think about it. I had heard the news before. The two giants of Awa, Hosokawa Mochitaka and Miyoshi Yoshiken, were both dead. Their sons were both young. The situation in Awa country was changing. Who knew what would happen? What kind of situation has it become. It was Xiao Pingtai's rule not to take personal risks, so he just took these samples back with him.

The rest is to do some personal business. Xiaoping was so lucky that he came to Sakai Town. He wanted to get a piece of Nanban crocodile that he had been thinking about, and he couldn’t put it off any longer.

So after leaving Tennojiya, we went to Nawu, which is not far away. It also has a big front, and it is indeed a large shopping mall.

As soon as I walked in, a very young guy came up to me.

"Hello guest, little Sukezaemon, what do you need?"

Hmm~~? ? ?

Naya Sukezaemon?
