The market is really full of people this week. It's so full you think even the pickpockets are quiet.. there's caravan guards everywhere, and the crowds are almost too full for the kind of busking move you saw the other day. And plenty of goods all over for purchase.
It doesn't take too long before you find a weapon merchant. This one has a mostly-permanent stall, and is located between a flower merchant and someone selling live chickens. His wares seem functional, not terribly distinctive, but look sound enough to your relatively unpracticed eyes.
But there's one more choice to make. Do you want a dao, or a jian? One of about the right size will be seven silver.
