After I woke up, my whole family eavesdropped on my thoughts and changed my life against the will of

Chapter 94: People are stupid and have too much money, shopkeeper Zhang

After a while, Mrs. Li prepared the meal.

Sweet potato pimple soup, corn tortillas fried in lard, and a plate of spicy dried radish.

I steamed a bowl of egg custard for each of the three little ones.

As soon as Su Bing stretched out his hand to fry the browned corn tortillas, he was hit on the back of his hand with a chopstick.

Su Bing didn't dare to say a word. He drank two large bowls of sweet potato soup honestly.

Su Huaiyi drank the soup by himself, not even daring to pick up dried radish.

Su Ruiwen gave Su Huaiyi a spoonful of egg custard.

"Master, eat~" He spoke more clearly than Su Xingxue.

Li opened one eye and closed one.He didn't say anything.

Su Huaiyi nodded happily.

Sure enough, his love for Raven was not in vain.

[My brother probably has an idea for my grandfather’s langhaobi. 】

Su Huaiyi glared and quickly returned the egg custard.

"Be good, Raven. Eat by yourself. I'll be full after just drinking the soup."

Su Xingxue's black and white eyes turned left and right, she didn't know what she thought of, and she laughed again.

Liu Xia frowned, even though the Su family didn't have a rule of not talking when eating or sleeping.

But it would be too unpleasant to laugh like this at the dinner table.

It seemed that she needed to discipline Xingxue more.

"dong dong dong~"

The visitor knocked on the courtyard door, everyone looked at him, and then walked in.

Also coming in were Chen Xiu and several officials.

[Why is Master Xiu here again? ] Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Su Huaiyi quickly stood up to pick it up, and he cupped his hand.

"Mr. Chen, Shopkeeper Zhang."

"Huaiyi, we haven't seen each other for more than 30 years, right?" It was shopkeeper Zhang who spoke.

He is the shopkeeper of Jubao Bank in Beijing.

Jubao Bank opened all over the Qin Kingdom, and all the banknotes circulating on the market were issued by it.

People can deposit and withdraw money in banks, or they can exchange it for banknotes and carry them with them.

When you need broken silver, you can go to the bank to exchange it at any time.

Shopkeeper Zhang is 55 years old and is about the same age as Su Huaiyi. Coincidentally, they were born in the same year, the same month and the same day.

He was wearing a navy blue brocade suit, and he was a little fat.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is still fine and his body is still strong. Do you want to eat something together?" Su Huaiyi said with a smile.

Mr. Li recognized Shopkeeper Zhang.

What was the old man hiding from her?

Why did shopkeeper Zhang come here with Mr. Chen? Maybe the banknote was of unknown origin.

She stood up and said, "I'm going to do something."

Su Bing also had the same idea. He didn't believe that carving could earn so much money.

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. Chen Youshilang and I ate on the way. You and your family will eat first, and then we can get down to business after dinner."

Chen Xiu didn't even see it, and he didn't know who rushed to Qingshan Village overnight.The corners of his anxious mouth were filled with dense bubbles of fire.

Where can Su Huaiyi find food? He guessed it as soon as he saw Chen Xiu and several officials.

"Could it be that shopkeeper Zhang doesn't trust me when he comes this time?"

"Huai Yi is joking. I'm here to ask you to help with the eye care." Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and didn't play riddles.

He waved, and an official behind him walked out carrying a wooden suitcase.

He opened the wooden box, and the box was filled with neatly arranged banknotes.

Su Xingxue and Su Ruiwen immediately ran over.

The two children's eyes were shining. They didn't take it rudely, they just stared at it without blinking.

"Hahaha, Huaiyi, your twin grandson knows how good money is even at such an old age. Not bad, not bad. It will be great when he grows up!" Shopkeeper Zhang praised. He is a person who deals with money, so he naturally likes it. People who also love money.

Su Xingxue held her face in her hands and looked at Shopkeeper Zhang with admiration.

"Mud, a lot of people's wealth."

"Hahaha~"

Shopkeeper Zhang laughed, took out a ten-tael silver ingot and bent down and stuffed it into Su Xingxue's arms.

"This is the money grandpa gave you for meeting. You are so smart, you can tell me how talented you are." "Crab~" Su Xingxue bit the silver ingot with her teeth and giggled.

"Master, I will make a lot of money."

Su Ruiwen stepped forward and imitated the adults.

He said seriously again.

"Wish you prosperity and wealth."

"Oh~ It's amazing. This word is so clear." Shopkeeper Zhang pinched Su Ruiwen's face and also gave him a ten-tael silver ingot.

For the sake of the silver ingot, Su Ruiwen let shopkeeper Zhang pinch it with a straight face.

Shopkeeper Zhang also gave Su Yun a silver ingot.

Su Yun did not answer, but looked at Su Huaiyi.

"Take them all, you Grandpa Zhang people..."

"Ahem, Grandpa Zhang's wishes can't be let down." Su Huaiyi reacted and quickly changed his explanation.

[My master wants to say that stupid people have too much money! 】

Chen Xiu pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his shoulders.

I don’t know whether a person is stupid or not, but how much money there is.

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't hear clearly, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

"Ahem, let's get down to business first." Su Huaiyi felt uncomfortable.

Shopkeeper Zhang grabbed a handful of banknotes and said, "Huaiyi, look at the banknotes here. Are there any differences?"

Su Huaiyi took it and looked at it carefully.

Chen Xiu felt complicated.

He came this time because there were a large number of counterfeit banknotes circulating in the market, and even the shopkeeper of Jubao Bank did not recognize the genuine ones.It was only when the bank received a different amount of banknotes than the amount issued that Zhang was shocked to realize that someone had exchanged fake banknotes for silver.

This man was very cunning. The people who exchanged the money were all different people. Since he couldn't tell the difference between real and fake banknotes, shopkeeper Zhang had no choice but to report the crime.

Qianzhuang was cooperating with the imperial court, and the Holy Emperor attached great importance to this matter and sent him to investigate the matter.

What he didn't expect was that this matter would actually be related to the Su family in Qingshan Village.

According to shopkeeper Zhang, Su Huaiyi carved banknote printing molds for Jubao Bank more than 30 years ago.

At that time, the two hit it off on the street. Shopkeeper Zhang saw the exquisite ornaments carved by Su Huaiyi and asked Su Huaiyi to engrave the banknote printing mold for the bank.

Su Huaiyi did not disappoint Shopkeeper Zhang. The banknote mold not only incorporated pavilions, flowers, birds, and landscapes, but the surrounding circle was also engraved with tiny thousand characters.

These thousands of words cannot be recognized with the naked eye and can only be seen with specific tools. Together with the official seal, the anti-counterfeiting is greatly improved.

Since the new version of banknotes was issued, no counterfeiting has occurred in the past 30 years.

The two signed a contract and could only meet each other if they encountered fake banknotes. This was also to protect Su Huaiyi from being captured by someone with evil intentions.

Chen Xiu glanced at Su Huaiyi and admired him for having such ability.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, look." Su Huaiyi, holding a specific tool, pointed to a location on the bank note.

After hearing this, shopkeeper Zhang took the tool and looked at it for a long time but still didn't find any difference.

Su Huaiyi said in a deep voice, "This person can imitate official seals, banknote molds, create specific paper, and paint with pigments, etc. He is a top talent.

The counterfeiter is very skilled. Even if he can imitate the exact official seal, the tiny thousand characters on the bank note cannot be imitated exactly.Everyone has their own specific way of writing, and the same goes for engraving. "

He pointed to the word "Yu".

"Look at this character, ordinary people would seal it when writing it, but the Yu's mouth I carved was not sealed."

"It really is."

Shopkeeper Zhang understood clearly that there were so many characters but they were so small that it would be dazzling if you didn’t pay attention.

It was only when I read the instructions together that I discovered the difference between the mouth being unsealed and the mouth being sealed.

He hurriedly packed up the banknotes and stood up straight.

"Thank you Huaiyi. Once this matter is settled, I will definitely come to thank you in person."

"Okay, this matter is very important, you should catch the falsifier first."

After saying goodbye, Shopkeeper Zhang and Chen Xiu hurried to the capital. Now they have a way to identify the banknotes. As long as they catch the person using the fake banknotes, they can follow the clues to find the person behind the scenes.

After they left, Mrs. Li stepped forward and held Su Huaiyi's ears.

"A carved gadget? Tell me, what else did you do that I don't know about?"

"Old lady, there really isn't any more."

Li Shi tightened her grip, "Hmm~ Is there any?"

"Yes, yes. I also carved private seals for officials in the capital, but the rest are gone. This money was all earned at that time." Su Huaiyi assured.

[My father really has a business acumen. Is private customization okay? 】Su Yun couldn't help but admire him.
