It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 41 How to write the word poor
As soon as the box under the bookcase was opened, the light inside was dim, and a thin layer of coins was spread.Gretel poured them out carefully, separated them by color, and spread out the points one by one.Once you are done, count again.

Ten gold coins.

Eight silver coins.

Among the gold coins, there is one that looks very different.

Gretel picked it up and carefully identified it.Among the ten gold coins, nine of them have a beautiful face and a crown on the front, and a rose entwined with branches and leaves on the back. The impression should be the gold coins of the country.The front seems to be the Queen's head, as for the back, it is said that it should be the royal emblem.

And the last, the front is a man with a crown and a long beard, and the back is a two-headed eagle with outstretched wings.Different emblems, different avatars.Considering that the backs of other silver coins also have rose patterns, it seems that this one looks special, should it be from a foreign country?
As for how it was left, how much the currency was worth, and whether it could be spent directly, Grete searched his memory and knew nothing.

In any case, these ten gold coins and eight silver coins are the last savings left by the original body's father for the original body.Buried under the bed, pressed under the bookcase, and told him not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

The reason why there are gold coins and silver coins is that they are afraid that children will be weak when they are young.

...how much do you take out this time?
After some serious thought, Gretel counted eight gold coins and put them back into the box—including the double-headed eagle, of course, and three silver coins.He carefully reset the box, cleaned up the traces on the ground, and with the purse in his pocket, rushed out of the house and rushed to the pen and paper shop.

In Hartland City, Grete only remembered one shop that sold pens and paper.The store is near the square at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, 200 meters south along the street, which is considered a prime location in the city.There was a lot of traffic at the gate, carriages inlaid with family crests came and went, and gentlemen and ladies passed by from time to time.

Two horse lanterns were hung on the left and right of the shop entrance, and the lights illuminated half of the street.There was actually a doorman under the lantern, with a white shirt and overalls, holding a wooden board one foot wide and two meters high, chirping for the store.

When Gretel came, the doorman gave him a surprised look.Glancing over Gretel's clearly altered linen shirt, mud-splattered trouser legs, and patched rucksack, his lips twitched, and he lowered the door, opening the door for Gretel.

Stepping into the store, a half-person-high wooden counter divides the entire store into two parts.Sitting at the counter bored was a young man in a white shirt and a black vest, with a black bow tie straight under his neck, with a dejected face of "don't bother me, I'm going to get off work".

There is nothing else outside the counter.On the inside, in the cabinet behind the man, there are all kinds of paper rolls, quills, inks, stationery boxes, etc., all dazzling, and the wall is full.

Gretel craned his neck to look at the scrolls.The guy raised his head and glanced quickly, and asked lazily:

"buy what?"

"Paper."

Gretel was interrupted as soon as he said a word.The clerk didn't lift his eyelids, and casually added:

"Two silver pieces for parchment and four pieces for white paper. How much?"

"So expensive?!"

Gretel was shocked.There are two silver coins for the parchment paper, that's all, after all, it was peeled from the sheep; what do you mean by four silver coins for the white paper?
Could this be the Chengxintang paper?

No, no, that's not the point.If ordinary white paper is twice as expensive as parchment paper, how did papermaking survive without being squeezed into bankruptcy by parchment paper? !
The young clerk rolled his eyes angrily.Instead of answering, he folded his hands, raised his chin and added:
"Sell from ten."

A piece of two silver coins, ten are twenty silver coins, or two gold coins... How many sheets of paper do you copy the entire book?Is a thousand sheets enough?If you count it, this sum alone is two hundred gold coins...

Except for the box of alchemy equipment and surgical instruments, the house, furniture, and everything in the family were sold out. Probably, they couldn't afford it.Gretel did the math and asked with a glimmer of hope, "Is there something cheaper?"

"Cheap?" The guy raised his eyebrows.Just as he was about to say a few more words, an old man was quickly driven out of the shop:

"There are some! What kind of guests do you want?"

The old man was more luxuriously dressed than the young fellow.The velvet trim was rolled around the coat, and the buttons on the round belly were gleaming, almost popping out.As soon as he came out, he glared at the man, and then burst into a smile:
"The shop has all kinds of goods. The cheapest, writing paper from Warwick, four silver coins a dollar. A little whiter and smoother, official paper from Northumberland, a knife and a gold coin.

The white paper you just heard, the guest, was ordered by the magic tower outside the city all the year round. It is said that it can improve the success rate of copying scrolls, and it is better than parchment paper.For only four silver coins, it's still cheap! "

...It turned out to be a special paper for copying magic scrolls.Gretel suddenly realized: although papermaking has become popular, high-end paper products are not so easy to produce.Not to mention that magic paper represents real power, it is not impossible that the first-class Sheng Xuan in the previous life can shoot ten thousand or twenty thousand with one knife.

"How much is a knife?"

The young man pouted.The old man didn't seem to think the question was too low-level at all, and still smiled:

"25 sheets, no deductions!"

emmmmm... Gretel quickly contemplates.25 for a dollar, 4 silver, a thousand pieces for 160 silver -- or 16 gold.He was full of calculations, only 10 gold coins, 8 plus 2 for a total of 10 silver coins, and 7 copper coins.Copying the entire book is definitely not enough.

And a city guard recruit, like him, is paid 5 silver coins a month; the team leader's salary is 15 silver coins a month.One thousand pieces of paper and 16 gold coins are about to catch up with the team leader's income for one year - but a child learns to read and write, is one thousand pieces of paper enough a year?

Surely not enough?
These days, reading and writing are really privileges that only belong to the upper class...

Gretel sighed with emotion.After the emotion is over, continue to ask the price:

"Can it be cheaper to buy more?"

"One order is 20 knives, 7 gold coins and 5 silver coins! The store delivers to your door!"

"Where's the pen? Where's the ink?"

"A quill, a quill for 2 silver coins, can be sharpened at least 20 times! A fine quill pen of 4 silver coins, can be sharpened at least 50 times, and comes with a sharpening knife! Ordinary writing ink, 2 per ounce bottle Silver coins, 5 oz bottle, 8 silver coins!"

Really do business.

Gretel smiled wryly.How similar is this trick of differentiating pricing and attracting business to the family packs, mass-selling packs, and combination packs in supermarkets in previous lives?
He weighed his needs and took out his wallet:

"First buy four knives of ordinary writing paper and a fine quill pen. I only brought 2 gold coins and 5 silver coins, and a large bottle of ink. Can you sell me another bottle?"

Paper, pen, ink, add up to 2 gold coins and 8 silver coins.Gretel's opening was about to be cut off by [-]%. The young man looked on indifferently, couldn't help but snorted, and said coldly:
"Don't buy it if you can't afford it! - You can also get gold coins?"

　Everyone is busy during the working day...

　　Please give me a collection...recommendations, book reviews, all kinds of interactions, let me know you've seen it...
