After entering the book, I took the heroine's space and lived in the end of the world

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry. He looked at Su Yue and said, "Sir, this crossbow is not an ordinary item. It has exquisite craftsmanship. One hundred taels of silver is really not expensive.

Besides, I am not bragging, but other than my iron shop, no other shop in the capital can make this kind of crossbow."

Su Yue smiled lightly, picked up the teacup and drank her tea. This middle-aged man was so confident, wasn't it because he had the crossbow blueprint?

The middle-aged man saw Su Yue just drinking tea without saying anything, and he felt a little uneasy. "How about this, you are also destined to be with bows and crossbows, so I will take a loss, ninety taels!"

Honeysuckle grumbled, "Ninety taels is still a loss!"

Su Yue pondered for a moment, her fingers gently stroking the crossbow, then she quickly picked up the arrow, installed it on the crossbow, aimed at the vase on the high table in the corner, and pulled the wooden trigger.

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out quickly and accurately hit the vase on the high table.

The vase shattered in an instant, with the pieces scattered all over the floor. The middle-aged man, Honeysuckle, and Nanny Yang were all stunned by this sudden scene.

Su Yue looked calm, slowly put down the crossbow, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "This crossbow is quite powerful, but the price is still too high. Fifty taels, I'll buy it."

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, looking embarrassed, and said quickly: "Sir, fifty taels is too little. The cost of this crossbow is more than that. Seventy taels, no less."

Nanny Yang chimed in, "It's already very good that my young master can offer fifty taels. Although your crossbow is good, it's not worth that much money."

Honeysuckle also nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

Su Yue raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Sixty taels, I won't pay a penny more. I see that this crossbow has been here for a long time. If no one is interested in it, it would be a waste.

Sixty taels is the highest price I can offer, and if you agree, I will order another twenty of these crossbows!"

The middle-aged man stood up suddenly upon hearing this, and even the stool behind him was knocked over by his sudden movement.

"You...what did you say!"

Not to mention the middle-aged man was shocked, even Nanny Yang and Rendong looked at Su Yue in surprise. They didn't understand what Su Yue wanted to do by buying so many bows and crossbows.

Su Yue still looked calm. Looking at the middle-aged man's reaction, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "I said, if you agree to the price of sixty taels, I will buy this crossbow and order twenty more."

The middle-aged man was shocked. He never expected that the young man in front of him would want to buy so many bows and crossbows. He suddenly became very curious about the identity of this young man.

Su Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in her gaze.

"You don't have to worry. I plan to open a escort agency, but I heard that there are many refugees fleeing famine recently. When the time comes, I will ask the escort brothers to prepare some powerful weapons to prevent any accidents."

The middle-aged man's expression eased slightly after hearing Su Yue's words, but he still had doubts. "Sir, running an escort agency is indeed a legitimate business, but these twenty crossbows are not a small number. If the government finds out, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

After a while, not to mention the government, even the emperor would be worried and anxious, so he would have no time to care about these things.

Su Yue smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will handle it properly. I have already made arrangements with the government and will not let you get into trouble."

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you are so sure, I will take this business. But you need to pay half of the deposit first, so that I can purchase materials and build these twenty crossbows for you as soon as possible."

Su Yue nodded slightly: "Okay, Rendong, go get some pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the waiter."

When Su Yue got the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, she asked the middle-aged man, "When will these twenty crossbows be completed?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied, "Sir, it takes quite a while to make these twenty crossbows. It will probably take two months. But I will urge the craftsmen to speed up the work and try to finish them and deliver them to you as soon as possible."

Su Yue shook her head: "No, two months is too long. I want to get it in half a month."

The middle-aged man was embarrassed when he heard this: "Sir, half a month is too tight. The preparation of materials and the production of craftsmen all take time.

And we don’t just accept orders from you, we also accept orders from other nobles.”

Su Yue was not in a hurry either. She looked at the middle-aged man calmly and said, "Then tell me, how can we complete these twenty crossbows in half a month?"

The middle-aged man frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Sir, if you want to complete these twenty crossbows within half a month, it is not impossible.

It is nothing more than increasing the number of craftsmen and having them work day and night. But the cost will be an additional 40 taels per crossbow, and the price cannot be negotiated."

Su Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze lingered on the middle-aged man's face for a moment. "Add 40 taels more? You have a big appetite. However, if you can ensure the quality and the deadline, it is not impossible to negotiate. But I want you to sign a document. If there is any mistake, you need to remake it and compensate me."

The middle-aged man was startled, knowing that this young master was not easy to fool. After thinking it over, he nodded and said, "Okay, young master, I will sign the agreement right away."

The middle-aged man quickly wrote the document, signed it, and handed it to Su Yue. Su Yue read it carefully and nodded with satisfaction. "Remember, the half-month deadline cannot be delayed."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "With the written document in hand, you can rest assured. Besides, this is a century-old store. The monk may run away, but the temple cannot."

Su Yue saw that the middle-aged man's name on the document was Zhong Tie, so she asked, "Uncle Zhong, do you know Xiaohe Village?"

Zhong Tie was slightly stunned, then said: "Of course I know Xiaohe Village. It is a small village outside the capital, but it is a bit remote. Why did Mr. Song suddenly ask about Xiaohe Village?"

The reason why Zhong Tie called Su Yue "Mr. Song" was because Su Yue wrote Song Da's name on the document.

Su Yue nodded and said, "That's good to know. If Uncle Zhong has any difficulties in the future, you can bring the workers in your shop to find me in a farm three or four miles north of Xiaohe Village. I will ask the servants in the farm to keep an eye out."

Zhong Tie was even more confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song. I will come to bother you if you need me."

Su Yue nodded slightly and asked Nanny Yang to take out one thousand and sixty taels and give them to Zhong Tie. This was half of the agreed deposit and the price of the crossbow in his hand.

Zhong Tie took the silver, feeling both excited and nervous. He was excited about the huge profits from this big deal, but nervous about the pressure of the half-month deadline.

Su Yue looked at Zhong Tie and reminded him again: "Uncle Zhong, be sure to finish the project on time. I'm waiting for your good news." After that, she left the teahouse with Rendong and Nanny Yang.
