Metropolis: I Can Modify The Production Date Of Everything!

【28】A Golden Sword... Scabbard 【Ask For Flowers】

When Zhuang Tong was about to speak, Ren Xiaoxiao grabbed Zhuang Tong.

Only then did Zhuang Tong react:

"Oh, I almost became a light bulb."

This village is actually not big.

Walking around the village, Wang Ruoya and Lin Xuan quickly discovered the characteristics of the Xibo people.

Males are basically the same as Han Chinese.

To be precise, they are exactly the same as the people from Northeast China and Mongolia.

Women should be more particular about what they wear. They wear cheongsam that is as long as the feet, with lace or embroidered wide edges, and a waistcoat. Some of the waistcoats have double-breasted or wide-breasted ones, and they also have lace.

The placket, cuffs, collar and hem are mostly piping.

Wearing black leg straps, white socks and embroidered shoes.

The younger girl has a long braid, which is tied at the root with various colored "wool threads". She does not cut her hair, wears flowers on her head and at the end of her braid, wears gold (silver) earrings, and wears an elegant and beautiful cheongsam.

Tucked into the pocket of the right waist, a colored handkerchief is half exposed outside the pocket.

Wearing embroidered cloth shoes shows youthful vitality.

In other words, the living habits of the Xibe people are generally similar to those of the Han people.

However, women still retain the clothing characteristics they learned from the Manchus in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

And their jewelry has some Mongolian characteristics, which is a fusion style of Mongolian characteristics and Ming and Qing jewelry.

As Wang Ruoya walked, she recorded what she saw on her mobile phone.

Walking through a house, Lin Xuan said: "I guess this family must have a collection of bows and arrows."

Wang Ruoya: "Let's go in and take a look."

Lin Xuan knocked on the door.

A dog barked at the door.

Soon a man came out who spoke a language he didn't understand, and the dog immediately stopped barking.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, wearing jeans and a T-shirt.

When they saw Lin Xuan and Wang Ruoya, they immediately understood that they were tourists.

"Hello."

Lin Xuan: "Hello."

The uncle opened the door: "Come in and sit down, do you want to eat?"

Lin Xuan: "Oh, my friend is looking for a place to eat. I came here to collect my bow."

The uncle smiled: "I really have one at home."

The two followed the uncle into the house.

There is an iron bow on the wall.

Lin Xuan's eyelids twitched: "I can't pull this."

Not many people in the world can pull an iron bow.

Uncle: "Hey, this can't be used for archery. It's just a decoration."

"Look at the wall behind you."

Lin Xuan turned around and saw an ox-horn bow on the wall.

A bit old-fashioned.

But using system scanning, it only takes about forty or fifty years.

Wang Ruoya thoughtfully said: "This is probably modeled after the post-Jin era."

Houjin was the name before the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.

The Xibo people were neighbors with the Manchus at that time, and they learned the art of making ox horn bows and ox tendon strings from them.

The uncle nodded: "Yes."

"It used to be used for hunting, and it was often used for hunting. Then I stopped hunting and hung it up. But I always maintained it, so there was no problem."

The uncle took down the bow and said, "According to the drawing force of modern bows, this bow requires almost 10 pounds of drawing force."

"It has about the same range as a forty-pound compound bow."

"Arrow damage is similar to that of an eighty-pound compound bow."

This is a typical strong bow. It can shoot well, but it is very powerful.

"Uncle, I want this bow. How much does it cost?"

The uncle thought for a moment, fearing that his bid was too high:

"Twenty-five thousand."

Lin Xuan: "Arrow?"

"Give it to you together."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, that's the price."

The uncle took out his mobile phone: "Transfer the money."

Lin Xuan silently stopped taking the cash and completed the transfer.

Lin Xuan holds an ox-horn bow in his hand and carries the quiver behind his back.

After walking out, Wang Ruoya said: "What a profit. A new ox-horn bow of this quality costs 14,000."

"Old ox-horn bows of this vintage can no longer be made, so the starting price is 30,000 yuan."

The horn bow is made from horns, bamboo and wood tires, beef tendons, animal glue and other materials through hundreds of processes. It is technically difficult and has a long production cycle, but it cannot be stored for a long time. It can be stored for a hundred years at most.

Among them, animal glue is probably a cortical glue similar to donkey-hide gelatin.

Cut the horns into pieces, and then glue the horns together with animal glue.

Finally forming a bow.

The complexity of the manufacturing process can be imagined.

It is a compound bow, and its strength is no worse than that of modern compound bows.

With this horn bow, I looked around again, and then bought a modern compound bow at a family's house.

Forty pounds.

Forty pounds is probably the bow most used by amateur players.

It's a bit taller than the new ones, and it's more lethal.

The 40-pound bow in the archery studio is not nearly as powerful.

The simple forty-pound compound bow here in the Mongolian area can shoot through two millimeters of iron from a distance of ten meters.

Head towards the camp with two bows.

Lin Xuan sighed a little when he walked to the door of a house.

There are rich people everywhere.

In this Xibo village, there is actually a house with a high-walled compound hidden away.

It must be extremely warm in the winter inside.

If ordinary people had so much money at home, they would definitely repair their houses in this way.

No wonder the Xibe people’s living habits depend on which ethnic group they live in.

They all live on the northern border, in such a cold place, and it would be a fool not to learn how to do it.

"This family is quite rich, and the air conditioner is actually a foreign product."

Wang Ruoya stood there stunned.

Lin Xuan: "What?"

Wang Ruoya was not prepared to go inside.

Lin Xuan was confused: "What's wrong?"

Wang Ruoya: "Mouse...mouse..."

Lin Xuan looked back for a long time: "Where?"

"there!"

Wang Ruoya was extremely excited.

Lin Xuan looked over and rolled his eyes: "That's not a mouse, it's a hamster."

"Hamsters are also mice!" Wang Ruoya stepped back: "Go in by yourself."

No wonder Wang Ruoya wants to buy Da Zhuang. It turns out that she is afraid of mice.

Lin Xuan walked into the courtyard: "Is anyone there?"

A middle-aged man who was drinking Coke came out of the room.

"Hey, we have guests, please come in."

This man pulled Lin Xuan inside and started handing out Chinese cigarettes as soon as he entered the room, and even took out a bottle of ice-cold Coke.

Lin Xuan smiled, if this person doesn’t have money, who does?

In this environment, hospitality is surely the most profitable quality.

Middle-aged man: "Are you alone?"

Lin Xuan: "There is another one outside the door. She is afraid of mice. She doesn't dare to come in when she sees the hamster you raised."

The middle-aged man was embarrassed and smiled: "Haha, I'm going to put it away. I'll let it bask in the sun now to remove the smell. The hamster smell is too strong."

Lin Xuan: "No need."

"Uncle, do you have a traditional bow here? I'll take one."

Middle-aged man: "The bow is gone, but I have a good treasure in my collection that I can show you."

In Lin Xuan's confusion, the middle-aged man opened the safe embedded in the wall of the living room and took out a gold knife from it!

The scabbard is studded with red emeralds.

The handle of the knife looks like it is made of real gold.

Using the system again, I saw that the scabbard was from the late Southern Song Dynasty! The knife inside is new and made almost eight years ago.

Yuan Dynasty golden sword scabbard? Wasn't it used by the Yuanmeng royal family? !
