Chapter 335 334. The Butcher (2)

The middle-aged man stared at Da Ao and said, "Selling umbrellas? We are a pawnshop here, brother, you went to the wrong door."

Another voice came from inside the room, saying: "Lao Song, let them in, I want to buy an umbrella."

The middle-aged man looked back in surprise, and waved: "Please, three, what kind of umbrella does my young master like?"

They have been communicating in Mandarin, but Hans is at a loss and can't get in any words.

Entering the house, it is an antique hall with a low-key and simple decoration style. The floor is covered with blue bricks, the walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings, and the furniture seems to be made of mahogany.

On the counter directly in front, a thick piece of sandalwood is burning, and as the smoke lingers and rises, a faint fragrance permeates the surroundings.

Inside the counter, a handsome young man of Chinese descent was sitting on a grand chair. When he saw the three of them, he stood up and asked, "Did you bring the umbrella?"

He asked in English this time, Hans understood, and immediately opened the box and said, "Are you Mr. Tang? I brought the umbrella, please check."

The young man reached out to take out the umbrella, opened it with a 'swish', carefully looked at the umbrella handle and frame, and then looked at the umbrella cloth after reading it, and said nothing during the period.

There was no business in the pawnshop, so these two people stayed inside. When the young man was not talking, the atmosphere was very dull, which made Li Du feel a little depressed.

Fortunately, although the young man read it carefully, he was very fast. After reading it, he nodded and said, "It's a good umbrella."

The middle-aged man twitched his lips and said: "The umbrellas made by foreigners, what good umbrellas are there? The ones that come out of the machine look fancy but not useful."

The young man smiled and said: "Old Song, you don't know when you will be able to catch up with the trend of the times with your antique head. Don't stick to what your ancestors did. If you have to admit that someone is great, you have to admit it. Otherwise, how can you learn? How to surpass?"

The middle-aged man was not convinced, and said: "This foreigner's stuff is powerful, let them go into the crystal cave and dig it..."

"Starting to be silly again!" The young man's tone suddenly became extremely severe, "Go and get the money, we bought this umbrella."

The middle-aged man muttered: "Okay, okay, I won't talk, how much will I get?"

The young man asked, "This umbrella sells for 10,000 yuan?"

Hans nodded and said, "Yes, 10,000 yuan."

The young man said: "Then go and get 10,000 yuan and give it to them, and then see off the guests."

The business started so inexplicably, and then ended inexplicably.

Regardless of whether Hans is inexplicable or not, he is satisfied if he can make money.

The middle-aged Lao Song casually opened the safe, took out a stack of green dollar bills, put them on the table, and said, "Your money."

Li Du's eyes were very sharp, and he saw a pile of dollar bills through the gap in the safe. He was surprised, these two people were so bold, they actually deposited so much cash in the store.

Some blacks and Mexicans in the United States like to rob Chinese people, because Chinese people like to store cash at home.

Although he didn't want to talk too much, but they are all Chinese, he couldn't help reminding: "There is a bank next to them, and it is best to deposit money in the bank for risk transfer."

The young man smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but we are not afraid here, not all Chinese are so easy to bully."

Hans reached out to get the money, the young man pressed his index finger on the banknote, and smiled again: "My friend, this is the original Rolls-Royce umbrella, isn't it?"

For some reason, Hans suddenly became very honest, nodded and said: "Yes, it is definitely an original Rolls-Royce umbrella, there is no problem."

The young man looked at him and said, "Can it resist a 12-level gale?"

"able!"

The young man nodded with a smile, then let go of his fingers and said: "Where we are going, there is a powerful wind tunnel. If this umbrella can't hold it, we will find trouble when we come back."

Seeing that Hans' momentum was suppressed, Li Du stepped forward and said, "It's the official Rolls-Royce promotion that it can resist 12-level winds. We haven't tried it, but we can guarantee that this is the original Rolls-Royce." Sless comes with an umbrella."

The young man said: "That's good."

After clearing the money and goods, they were about to leave, but Lao Song blocked them, looked at Da'ao and said, "Man, are you interested in transferring this bayonet?"

Compared with Lao Song, who was of average build but mighty imposing manner, Da Ao, a man with a fierce appearance, lost a lot in terms of aura. He was actually a man with a good temper.

Stared at by Lao Song with aggressive eyes, Da Ao looked at Li Du in embarrassment and said, "This is the boss's knife."

Lao Song looked at Li Du again, and said, "Give me this bayonet, and I'll give you another 10,000 yuan."

The young man who was looking at the umbrella said: "Old Song, this knife is not worth 10,000 yuan, not even 10,000 yuan."

Lao Song said: "This is a butcher. It is rare to see such a well-preserved butcher. It must be worth 10,000 yuan."

Li Du asked strangely: "Is this bayonet very precious?"

Only now did he realize that when Lao Song said 'butcher' earlier, he was referring to the name of the bayonet. He thought that Lao Song was shocked by Da Ao's appearance at first, saying that Da Ao looked like a butcher.

Lao Song said: "How should I put it, the butcher was the bayonet that the German army produced the most in World War I, so it shouldn't be considered precious, but you kept the knife very well."

Li Du didn't find any information about this bayonet when he went back, so he thought it was an ordinary saber, but seeing its hideous appearance, he gave it to Da Ao to scare people, but he didn't expect this knife to have an extraordinary origin.

Seeing his reaction, Lao Song asked, "You don't know its identity?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Can you introduce me?"

Lao Song smiled and said: "This bayonet is nicknamed the Butcher, and its official name is M98/05. It was officially adopted by the German army in 1905 and participated in the First World War."

"The knife was designed to replace the bulky and cumbersome M98/02 bayonet, which replaced the M1898, which was too long for entry and exit from trenches."

"Both M98/02 and M98/05 were designed based on the needs of trench warfare construction during World War I, as tools for soldiers to cut and dig..."

Having said that, Lao Song looked up at them, and when he saw their blank faces, he laughed again, and said, "It seems that I have talked too much, and this information is actually useless."

Compared with the previous two generations of bayonets, the butcher is more suitable for fighting and killing people. Its nickname was given to soldiers of the Allied Powers during World War I, because this knife is so lethal.

"There are two kinds of butchers. The difference is that the blade has two designs: normal and serrated. Yours has serrated, right?" Lao Song asked.

Li Du nodded, and after pulling out the bayonet, he showed his ferocious sharp teeth.

Lao Song took it and touched it, and said, "If there is no serration, this knife is worth 1,000 RMB, but if it has serrations, it is worth 10,000 U.S. dollars."
