Chapter 51 (1/2)
51 Tea gathering (1)
Hearing The Sound of Arrows entering the pot, Xu Qi ‘an’s smile widened uncontrollably. He pulled off the black cloth and pointed at the gold and silver ingots on the stall, ”
“Haha, old Daoist, these are all mine.”
The old Daoist looked at him and calmly kept the gold and silver ingots into the package. Then, he pointed to the Bodhi bracelet and the small Jade Mirror at the top and said with a smile, ”
“Young master, choose one of the two.”
….. “Old Taoist, I don’t want these. I only want silver,” Xu Qi ‘an said in a negotiating tone.
“Rules are rules,” the old Daoist refused ruthlessly.
He paused and added, ” these two items are rare treasures. They can’t be compared to common items. Young master, don’t be blinded by gold and silver.
No, I just want these mortal things … “Treasure?” Xu Qi ‘an asked. What’s the use?”
“I don’t know. I only know that they are waiting for the fated one.” The old Daoist looked like a Bachelor.
Xu Qi ‘an suspected that the old Daoist was lying to him, but he had no evidence. Considering his inexplicable luck, he was a little hesitant.
Who could say for sure whether it was a treasure or not? silver was more practical.
At this moment, an armored soldier walked over and said, “”Young master, my master would like to ask for your help,”
Xu Qi ‘an turned around and looked at the luxurious carriage not far away. what does your master want? ”
“That string of Bodhi beads,” The armored soldier’s gaze moved away from the stall and looked at Xu Qi ‘an. “My master is willing to pay sixty taels of gold.”
‘So this is where my lucky charm should be …’ Xu Qi ‘an showed a kind smile. “Thank you for your kindness, deal.”
He asked the soldier to fork out a coin of silver in exchange for three arrows.
“Master said that you can throw in a few more times, and we’ll pay for all the silver,” the soldier said. It doesn’t matter if I fail …”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qi ‘an, who had his eyes covered, throw an arrow.
Thump thump thump … The three arrows were accurately shot into the pot.
The passerby’s exclamations came again.
The soldier looked at Xu Qi ‘an with respect.
If once was luck, twice meant that the other party was not an ordinary person. This ordinary-looking young man was dressed like a scholar, but he was definitely an expert.
Sixty taels of gold in hand … Xu Qi ‘an was extremely happy. He pulled off the black cloth and happened to see the curtain of the luxurious carriage in the distance fall down.
…. He wondered who was in the car … He didn’t dare to look any longer. He turned around and cupped his fists at the armored soldier.”I didn’t fail you.”
The armored soldier respectfully cupped his fist and returned the greeting. Then, he returned to the carriage and came back with a bulging bag of money.
Xu Qi ‘an took the purse and the Jade Mirror from the old Daoist, then watched the carriage leave.
He retracted his gaze and casually put the palm-sized Jade Mirror into his pocket. Then, he happily weighed the bulging money bag.
It was about three to four catties, too heavy to be tied to the waist.
no, I have to go and Exchange it for silver notes. It’s too stupid to carry such heavy gold around …
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look back, but he found that the old Taoist was gone, and the stall was cleaned up.
Xu Qi ‘an stood by the roadside and was silent for a long time.
….
Four hundred and eighty silver taels was more than enough to slap his aunt’s pretty face … Why did she have to slap her aunt with silver notes every time she earned money? the original owner’s resentment towards her aunt was too strong … In addition, this amount of silver could probably only buy a small courtyard in the inner city … If you want to buy a three-door mansion, you can’t get it without ten thousand taels of silver …
He then went to the bank and exchanged the gold for four notes worth a hundred taels.One note was worth fifty taels, and three were worth ten taels.
Gold was not part of the currency system, so it had to be exchanged for silver of the same value, and then the bank would issue silver notes.
The exchange rate between gold and silver was 1:8, so sixty taels of gold was four hundred and eighty taels of silver.
Four hundred and eighty silver taels was more than enough to slap his aunt’s pretty face … Why did she have to slap her aunt with silver notes every time she earned money? the original owner’s resentment towards her aunt was too strong … In addition, this amount of silver could probably only buy a small courtyard in the inner city … If you want to buy a three-door mansion, you can’t get it without ten thousand taels of silver … Xu Qi ‘an was a little vexed.
Whether it was in the other world or in his previous life, the price of a house was a matter that made people despair.
“Four hundred and eighty taels should be enough to redeem a low-grade courtesan from a brothel, but this is not worth it.
