Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 9, Exchange for Fiat Currency

But Sister Zao, I need your help now, Jiang Yan thought for a while, and then said to Tian Zao, Sister Zao, you know that there is an abandoned house near No. 28 Nanluogu Lane!Can you help me find out the owner of this house, I want to buy this house, by the way how much it costs.

Don't worry, leave this matter to me, Tian Zao patted his chest to assure Jiang Yan.

Sister Zao, Meihe and Xiaoliuzi woke up. As soon as Tian Zao finished speaking, the voices of other children came from beside him.

Hearing the words, Tian Zao and Jiang Yan quickly stood up and walked to the place where Meihe and Xiaoliuzi were lying.

Does the coal core still hurt? When we got there, Tian Zao picked up the youngest coal core and asked.

No more pain, Sister Zao, just a little dizzy.

Sister Zao, I think you should take Coal Nuclear and Xiaoliuzi to the hospital for an examination. When he said this, Jiang Yan took out three cash from his pocket and handed it to Tian Zao.

You take the money.Take them to see a doctor, give the brothers a few meals with the rest of the money, and let's talk about things in detail later.

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he left here without waiting for Tian Zao to refuse.

After arriving at the overpass, Jiang Yan ordered a bowl of stewed food at a food stall, and after he was full, he turned around and walked towards the Pigeon Market.

The Pigeon Market is located at the Duck Bridge in Sijiu City. It was originally a place for the Eight Banners to buy and sell pigeons. Later, after continuous expansion, a huge market was formed here, but the name Pigeon Market has also been handed down.

Jiang Yan seems to only remember this place where he can exchange French currency into ocean.

The reason why he can remember this place is because his master brought him here several times.

Fengtai Tea House in Pigeon City is the favorite place for many fanciers. The rotten meat noodles here are very famous. Many people will walk half of the city of Sijiu to eat a bowl of this kind of barbecue noodles.

Wu Laosan is the best hall official in Fengtai Tea House, and he can remember almost every repeat customer.It can also remember the hobbies of each guest.

So when it comes to opening restaurants and teahouses, having a good court official can half the success.

As soon as Jiang Yan walked to the door of Fengtai Teahouse, he was recognized by the sharp-eyed Wu Laosan, and quickly walked out of the house.

Yo!Long time no see brother Jiang, your master didn't come today!
No, the master told me to go up to the second floor. After speaking, Jiang Yan took out a two-cent silver coin from his pocket and threw it directly to Wu Laosan. He said, bring a pot of high-quality high-quality broken pieces, and the rest of the money will be rewarded to you up.

Then I would like to thank the young master for the reward. After saying this sentence, Wu Laosan yelled inside, breaking a pot on the second floor.

A guy inside responded, and when he saw Jiang Yan coming in, he took Jiang Yan directly to the second floor.

Unlike the noise on the first floor, the second floor is much quieter, and there are fewer people sitting inside. There are several people whispering at each table. When they saw Jiang Yan going upstairs, they just looked up. .Just do what you should do.

Jiang Yan sat down on a seat by the window, leisurely across the tea, and after a while a stream of people in their 30s sat in front of Jiang Yan.

My surname is Wu, you can call me Lao Wu, I don’t know, little brother, what kind of business can take care of Lao Wu.

I want to change the big and small heads.

The big head is a colloquial name for Yuan Shikai's series of coins, and it is strictly called "Yuan Shikai's back Jiahe silver coin".

The small head is the silver dollar with the portrait of Sun Yat-sen printed on it.

Then hold hands!After Lao Wu finished speaking, he stretched out the sleeve where his hand was hidden, and Jiang Yan naturally stretched his hand in.

The two held hands for about ten seconds, Jiang Yan took out his hand, and said to Lao Wu that it was rising again.

Didn't it rise again?Little brother, the price I gave you is the highest price. If you don’t believe me, you are looking for someone to ask.

Pulling hands means that two people are secretly negotiating the price with their hands.

The price this person offered was 650 million French currency for one silver dollar.

The last time Jiang Yan exchanged with his master, he exchanged 600 million French currency for one silver dollar. Unexpectedly, the price went up again after a few days.

However, the price is not bad, and now Jiang Yan wants to quickly deal with the legal currency in his hand.

Dude, open a private room, serve a pot of good scented tea, and then signal Old Wu to come with him into the private room.

After waiting for the buddy to leave, Jiang Yan took off his backpack, took out the stacks of French coins inside and put them on the table and said to Lao Wu, take an inventory.

While drinking tea, Jiang Yan watched Lao Wu count the legal currency.

After a while, Old Wu raised his head and said to Jiang Yan that the total amount was 400 French currency.How about I exchange 30 yuan, nine cents, and seven copper coins for you.

Hearing what Old Wu said, Jiang Yan silently calculated in his heart, and his own calculation was not much different from that of Old Wu, so he nodded.

Old Wu accepted the French coins, counted twelve Yuan Datou, four silver cents and seven copper coins from the backpack he brought, and handed them to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan held Yuan Datou with both hands, took a breath and put it to his ears, and heard the sound inside. Jiang Yan nodded, and then tested all Yuan Datou and Yinhao in the same way at one time. Put the money in your own pocket.

Little brother, if you have legal currency, you can directly exchange it with me, and you can rest assured that you will not be deceived.After saying this, Lao Wu left the private room.

Jiang Yan was not in a hurry to leave at this time, but sat there and drank a pot of scented tea leisurely before leaving Fengtai Teahouse.

Before leaving, he curled his lips, he still likes Zhang Yiyuan to drink this scented tea.

Coming out of Pigeon City, Jiang Yan walked aimlessly on the street, seeing the busy traffic and people coming and going on the street, he couldn't help but think of the Forty-Nine Cities in later generations.

Although the Sijiu City of the later generations is countless times more prosperous than the present, it is far from the ancient charm of the current Sijiu City.

People in this era are more smokey and sophisticated than those in the Forty-Nine Cities of later generations.

In this era, people will greet each other warmly when they meet on the street, without the indifference of later generations, and as long as they can help, they will not hesitate to extend their hands, even if their abilities are limited.

Unlike later generations, people who also live in the same unit, even if they have lived for more than ten years, are still strangers.

Not to mention helping each other, that is really rare, unless you ask for something else.

Jiang Yan, who was deeply moved for a moment, sighed, but still walked aimlessly.

Passing by the once glorious imperial palace, Jiang Yan also took a curious look at it. The Forbidden City at this time is not like that of later generations. There is no People's Monument or a large square in front of the Forbidden City. It is just a relatively small square paved with stone bricks. There is a door called Daqing Gate, but the paint on it has peeled off, and it looks dilapidated.

Jiang Yan stayed on this square for a while, and ate a mouthful of the wind and sand. Now there is no northwest protective forest, and the wind and sand in Sijiu City are really big.

Coming out of the Forbidden City, he looked up at the sun, and it was almost noon at this time, so Jiang Yan walked quickly towards the house.

When he was about to get home, Jiang Yan took out ten catties of white flour, ten catties of high-quality northeast rice, three catties of meat, and some candies and pastries from the space in a small alley, and went straight back to the courtyard with these things .
