Hearing this, Xiaoxiao looked up at him and said, "Your boss is really ingenious. This little thing is so lifelike. How much is it?"

When the middle-aged man heard Shi Xiaoxiao praising his boss, his face wrinkled with smile.

"Haha, our boss is extremely smart and has unique ideas. These things were thought up by him. To be honest, when our boss made these things, I couldn't let them go, haha."

He raised a finger and said, "This is one tael of silver."

Shi Xiaoxiao's eyebrows jumped.

Such a small thing is so expensive?

One tael of silver is several months' income for an ordinary family.

If it were an ordinary family, who would spend several months' salary to buy a ceramic doll?

Seeing Shi Xiaoxiao's hesitation, the middle-aged uncle thought that Shi Xiaoxiao thought it was too expensive, and couldn't help but explain:

"Miss, this thing was researched by our boss for a long time and took a lot of effort to make. The effort put into it is beyond the comprehension of others. Moreover, look at the workmanship, the appearance, and the material. They are all made of top-quality materials. The materials alone cost a lot of money. The workmanship is all carved out with every knife. One tael of silver is really not expensive."

Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Of course I can see the exquisite craftsmanship, but one tael of silver is indeed too much for an ordinary family. However, I think it is worth the price."

As he said this, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and gave it to the middle-aged man.

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

He didn't think one tael of silver was expensive, so he explained it.

He was just very pleased that someone could understand the hard work the boss put in to make this thing.

Shi Xiaoxiao held the little porcelain cat in her arms, afraid that it would break, so she carefully lifted the bottom with her hands.

A lot of people gathered on the other side, and noisy sounds could be heard.

Shi Xiaoxiao came forward curiously.

It turned out to be a shooting range stall. In front of the owner were several targets, and on the other side were many items, which were rewards for winning.

A crossbow is used, and the rule is that as long as you can hit the bull's eye ten times, you can choose an object at random.

It's very simple, so many people play it. Now, two people have won and chose the same item at the same time, so they are arguing.

Shi Xiaoxiao squeezed forward and found that a man and a woman were arguing.

Woman: “This is the one I saw first.”

Man: “I got it first.”

Woman: "What do you, a man, need this hairpin for?"

Man: "My wife likes it. I'm going to order this hairpin today."

The woman glared at the man, "You are so unreasonable. It's obviously my thing, and you want to steal it."

The man's eyes widened as well: "When did it become yours? This is clearly the prize I won."

The woman tried to snatch it away, but the man quickly grabbed the other end of the hairpin.

Neither of them wanted to give in to the other, and both of them were interested in the hairpin, which put the stall owner in a difficult position.

Originally, everyone came to shoot individually, but after winning, this woman took a long time to choose the reward.

After the man behind finished shooting, the two of them picked up an item at the same time.

The stall owner didn’t know what to do.

And the two began to quarrel again.

The woman spoke first: "Let go, I won first, this hairpin originally belonged to me."

The man was not to be outdone: "Why? I asked you to choose for a long time and you couldn't make a good choice. Now that I have chosen this one, you come and grab it."

The woman gritted her teeth and glared at the man, "What do you mean by robbing? This was originally mine."

The stall owner looked at one and the other, and seeing that both of them looked difficult to deal with, he didn't dare to persuade either of them.

She could only speak tremblingly: "Since both of you have set your eyes on this hairpin, why don't you have another competition? Whoever wins will get the hairpin, how about that?"

The two people who were arguing heard this and looked in the direction of the stall owner, both wondering whether what the stall owner said was feasible.

The woman said, "I think so."

The man also said: "I think it's okay."

At this time, both of them actually agreed harmoniously with the stall owner's opinion.

The stall owner was relieved to see that the two could discuss things.

He was afraid that the people who came would be arrogant and domineering and would not listen to his advice. What if they got angry and smashed his stall?

He immediately smiled and said, "That's great. How about you two each shoot once? This time, no matter how many you hit, whoever hits the most will get the hairpin, okay?"

The two of them looked at each other, snorted coldly, and looked away.

The woman said proudly, "I agree. Humph, I will definitely win the hairpin. Some people have no self-awareness. They rely on luck to win once, so what? In the end, they still lose."

The woman was very confident in her shooting skills and didn't take the man seriously at all.

The attitude is also very proud!

Her shooting skills have been trained since she was a child and are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She is definitely going to win!

The man retorted, "How did you know I would lose? I hit all ten of my shots just now."

"Heh, just because you hit ten bullets just now doesn't mean you can hit ten bullets now. Haven't you heard of the word lucky?"

The man twitched his lips slightly. "I hope your skills are as good as your mouth."

The woman glanced at him, snorted coldly and stopped talking.

The stall owner readied his crossbow and looked at the two men. "Who will go first?"

The woman raised her head proudly: "I'll go first, so some people can open their eyes and see real shooting skills!"

As she spoke, she confidently took the crossbow handed to her by the stall owner and aimed at the bull's eye.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, loosened his grip, and the arrow flew out.

The arrow flew through the air, making a rapid buzzing sound.

With a "snap" sound, it hit the target.

It hits the bull's eye firmly!

The woman glanced at the man with a smug look, and the disdain on the corner of her mouth gradually widened.

Continue with the second shot.

Finally, the corners of the woman's mouth curled up, and a smug expression was about to overflow.

And on the bull's eye, ten arrows were firmly stuck in the bull's eye!

Shi Xiaoxiao, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but nodded. This woman's shooting skills were indeed good.

There are very few women in this era who have such abilities.

Of course, except for everyone in the General’s Mansion!

As far as she knew, everyone in the general's mansion had been practicing since they were young.

I wonder whose family this woman belongs to?

On the other hand, the man's face remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

Even when the woman hit all ten targets, he didn't even frown.

The woman put down the crossbow and looked at him provocatively.

"Hey, why don't you admit defeat now? You can't win against me."

She has absolute confidence in herself!

She is even more convinced that no one in the world can surpass her in shooting skills.

Seeing the man's nonchalant and calm expression, the woman felt inexplicably irritated.

His confident attitude made her feel a little uneasy, but she still believed that she would definitely win.

She originally wanted to see shock in his eyes and hear the amazement of the people around him.

But now there is no sound, it is completely silent.

She couldn't help but feel angry at the lack of tact of the audience.

They didn't even know to applaud to liven up the atmosphere.

The man ignored the woman's provocation, walked forward calmly and picked up the crossbow.

He didn't even give her a glance.

He is equally confident!

Raise your bow!

aim!

call out!

emission!

Just a moment!

The surroundings were completely silent, even the sounds of groups of people discussing had disappeared.

Because the man fired ten shots at once, and all of them hit the bull's eye!

At this moment, the woman just stared blankly.

An expression of disbelief gradually appeared in his eyes.

She murmured, "How is it possible?"

The scene before her seemed to slap her hard in the face.

The quieter the air, the more painful her face seemed to be!

She now feels that the lack of cheers is the most embarrassing thing!

The damage is even higher!

She looked in the man's direction in shock and asked in disbelief: "Who are you? How could you..."

In the entire Chang'an City, she had never seen anyone with such superb shooting skills.

The man's shooting skills shattered her arrogant mentality.

She always thought she was the best shooter in Chang'an City.

did not expect……

The man did not answer her, but glanced at her with the same vindictive glare.

The angry woman swallowed her throat and flew into a rage!

The man looked at the stall owner and said, "Can you give me the hairpin this time?"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed, "Haha, of course..."

"No, I don't agree!"

The stall owner was interrupted by the woman before he could finish his words.

"We agreed that whoever hits the most shots gets the hairpin, but we both hit the same amount. Why should we give it to him? He can't be considered the winner just because he shot better. This round doesn't count."

She was also hit by ten bullets, so how could she just give it to him like that?

She is not reconciled!

She is determined to get this hairpin today.

"This……"

This time the stall owner was in a dilemma. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the man's shooting skills were better, but both of them did hit ten shots each.

Thinking about it this way, it’s really still impossible to determine the winner!

The people watching the excitement looked at each other and started discussing.

"I think this man is very skilled and has excellent shooting skills. He should take the hairpin."

"That's true, but this lady did get hit ten times, so she didn't lose."

"I think so too. Looking at it this way, it seems like a draw. No one wins or loses."

In the midst of everyone's discussion.

The man looked at her impatiently: "What else do you want? Can't you see with your eyes that you are not as good as me? Why are you still struggling?"

The woman glared at him: "So what? I was hit by ten bullets too. I didn't lose. Why should I give it to you?"

The man seemed speechless to the woman. He took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what else do you want?"

The woman lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Since we can all hit the target ten times, it doesn't matter how many times we compete. Why don't we let others compete for us? They won't be like us, right?"

"can!"

The man agreed without hesitation.

He already wanted to leave and didn't want to waste any more time here. Although this hairpin was beautiful, it was not absolutely necessary.

I just met someone who was being unreasonable and wanted to teach her a lesson!

The woman couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this, and looked at her maid, "Rainbow, come here!"

She couldn't help but curl up her lips.

Rainbow had trained with her, so of course her shooting might not be very good, but it definitely wouldn't be too bad.

How many people present can compare to Rainbow?

Thinking of this, she scoffed, "What about you, who are you going to find to take your place?"

Hearing this, the man looked up and glanced around casually, just meeting Shi Xiaoxiao's gaze.

An idea struck him, "Miss, could you please help me? I will reward you handsomely later."

Shi Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.

This person is quite good at choosing.

Since he likes her, it wouldn't hurt for her to help him!

Shi Xiaoxiao stepped forward: "Okay!"

"puff……"

A chuckle was heard, Shi Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that it was that woman.

The woman glanced at Shi Xiaoxiao with disdain and contempt!

He looked at the man with a mocking look.

"Hey, you can't find anyone? You can find such a skinny girl. Can she do it? I'm afraid she can't even lift a crossbow. If you can't find anyone, how about I send one of my maids to take your place? Haha."

Shi Xiaoxiao watched quietly, not affected by the woman's words.

After all, I'm going to slap her in the face later, so there's no need to waste my breath now.

She still likes to take action quickly!

The man frowned unhappily, "It's still uncertain who will win or lose, so don't be too arrogant."

The woman snorted coldly: "You are still stubborn. In that case, I don't need to show any mercy."

The man ignored her and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao, "Girl, do you know how to shoot? If not, I will teach you now."

Shi Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes at him and said, "Yes... a little bit!"

The man smiled, "A little bit is enough, don't worry, winning or losing is not important, just play your best."

Shi Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, then I'll be more casual."

The man nodded. He originally thought that if Shi Xiaoxiao didn't know how to do it, he could just teach her casually, as long as she didn't lose badly. But since she knew how to do it, there was no need to bother with that.

The woman couldn't help laughing as she listened to their conversation.

It seems that he has given up and just called a girl over, and even wanted to teach her on the spot. It's so funny!

That's it!

Still want to compete with her!

She looked at Shi Xiaoxiao, disdain almost overflowing from her eyes, "Little girl, why don't you admit defeat for him now? You can't beat my maid. No one will laugh at you if you admit defeat now. After all, you were also a person who knew nothing to begin with."

Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Miss, you're asking me to admit defeat so quickly. Are you afraid that your maid will lose to me? The competition hasn't even started yet, how do you know who will win?"

The woman frowned, a cold look flashing in her eyes. "Hmph, you don't know your own limitations. No wonder he chose you. Since you won't listen to my advice, don't cry and say I bullied you later."

Shi Xiaoxiao's lips curled slightly: "Same words, for you!"

lose?

nonexistent.

When she was a secret agent in modern times, she wouldn't miss the target at a distance of a thousand meters, let alone a distance of just a few meters?

Isn't that a piece of cake?

If the shot missed at this distance, the captain would be scolded to death if he were here.

Since he wants to see her lose, then let her win reluctantly and show her!

She hadn't been an agent for more than a decade in vain.

The woman rolled her eyes and turned her head angrily to look at her maid, "Rainbow, no need to show mercy."

Today she will make this ungrateful girl and this man who wants to steal her things regret it!
