A copper coin was paid.

Shantai took Gao Jing through the open gate and entered Qinghe City.

Copper coins and shell coins are both common currencies in the Great Wilderness, and the exchange ratio between the two is one to one hundred.

Like the ancient copper plates of the Overworld, the copper coins of the Great World are also round on the outside and square on the inside, and can be hung in a string with a rope.

But there is a big difference in terms of materials.

In the Great Wilderness, the trade between tribes and tribes, tribes and caravans, was mainly bartering.

In a city like Qinghe City, it is necessary to use circulating currencies such as copper coins and shell coins.

There are also gold beads on top of the shell coins.

Gao Jing had seen copper coins and shell coins from the old wizard of Shanyan, but he had never seen gold beads.

The copper coins that Shantai had just paid to the guard guards.

It is a commercial tax.

Because the rattan basket he was carrying on his back contained goods, otherwise he would not need to give it.

Qinghe City has a population of nearly 10,000, and it is only a permanent population, and most of the residents are from the three major tribes.

If you add the floating population from outside, it will undoubtedly be more than 10,000.

So this "small" city is still quite lively.

The blue-gray stone paved road stretches straight from the city gate to the foot of the mountain.

On both sides of this main street stand tall and low buildings, most of them two- or three-storey buildings, and the wooden and stone houses are very rough and simple in appearance, but they look unusually thick and solid.

The environment in the city is fairly clean, there is basically no garbage on the ground, and there is no bad smell.

Someone should clean up every day.

It's a little worse than the village.

Gao Jing found that the giants of the Great Wilderness are very particular about hygiene.

The streets were full of people, both rough men in animal skins and women in leather robes.

Although they are also giants, the average appearance of the women here is undoubtedly higher than that of the women of the tribe, their skin is much fairer, and they know how to dress themselves.

Gao Jing saw that several Qinghe women were wearing seven-colored stone jewelry, hairpins, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and so on.

There are many shops along the street, pubs, restaurants, and grocery rice stores.

"This guest inside please!"

"Come and take a look, the new linen cloth that just arrived is cheap!"

"Sell rice, good chestnut rice!"

The shop guys stood under the sign made of rosewood, and warmly attracted customers.

Looking up at the buildings that are sixty or seventy meters or even nearly a hundred meters high, the sound of shouting one after another came into my ears.

Let Gao Jing, who sits on Shantai's shoulder, have a very unreal feeling.

The difference between a city and a village is really too big!

It's also an eye-opener.

Shantai has been to Qinghe City many times, and he is still very familiar with this place.

But in order to take care of Gao Jing, a "yuanmin" who had just entered the city in the countryside, he deliberately slowed down.

Just so that Gao Jing can enjoy the "prosperous" scene of Qinghe City for a while.

Shantai entered the city for the first time, but he couldn't get enough of it!

As the sky gets darker, the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the shops are lit, and the orange light shines through the cage lattice on the street.

At this time, Shantai walked into a tavern.

The tavern was not very large, with six or seven tables and a long bar to the left.

Business is quite good, all the wine tables have customers, eating, drinking and chatting in twos and threes.

Shantai took a seat at the bar and unloaded the rattan basket and placed it aside.

Gao Jing jumped on the bar.

Shan Tai mentioned to Gao Jing before that there are many abyssal remnants living in Qinghe City.

So he doesn't need to hide himself here.

No giant will make a fuss.

The bearded bartender at the bar glanced at Gao Jing with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He immediately said to Shantai: "What do you want to do? Today there are charcoal-roasted wild boar meat and smoked beef." ”

"One for both. ”

Shantai replied in a deep voice, "Give me another glass of rye wine and a glass of chestnut rice wine, plus..."

He stretched out his finger and tapped lightly beside Gao Jing: "Give my brother a set of utensils too." ”

"Meat and wine were a hundred and twenty-five coppers. ”

The bearded bartender skillfully quoted the price, and glanced at Gao Jing again: "Add cutlery for free." ”

"Thank you. ”

Shantai grabbed a handful of coins from his pocket and counted one shell coin and twenty-five copper coins for the other party.

The shell coin is similar to the material of mutton fat white jade, with a diameter of about 20 centimeters.

It has a rounded body and no inner openings.

It looks a lot like a magnified white chess piece.

Unlike minted copper coins, shell coins were forged by wizards from the shells of moon shells.

Its texture is extremely hard and wear-resistant, and its value is relatively high.

The moon shell is a type of shellfish that inhabits the Great Lake of Osawa, and the shells and shells contain abundant spiritual energy.

Can be used to craft witchcrafting weapons.

Shell coins also contain psionic energy, but they are tightly sealed during the refining process.

Once the coin is damaged and the psionic energy is leaked, then the shell coin will be worthless.

The bartender, who collected the money, quickly set out different sizes of cutlery for Shantai and Gaojing.

Obviously, the same situation has happened more than once.

He also gave Gao Jing a table more than a meter wide, so that the latter could sit down and eat comfortably.

Gao Jing feels quite interesting.

Rye wine and chestnut rice wine were served first.

Shantai scooped two kinds of wine for Gao Jing with a wooden spoon and let Gao Jing taste it.

This is also the requirement of Gao Jing.

There are three types of liquor sold in the taverns and restaurants in Qinghe City: rye wine, chestnut rice wine, and fruit wine.

Gao Jing had tasted fruit wine in the village, and the ale wine and rice wine were drunk for the first time.

Rye wine is a bit like dark beer, with a bitter and frothy taste and a strong wheat aroma.

The chestnut rice wine is yellowish in color and has a soft and sweet taste.

The common feature of the three types of liquor is that the alcohol content is very low, and it is not pleasant to drink.

Spirits are also available, but they are small in quantity and high in price.

The customers of the Blue River City Tavern are 100% unaffordable.

The old wizard had drunk the liquor that Gao Jing had brought, saying that it tasted different from the spirits he had drunk in the City of Kings before.

The taste of Gaojing is even better!

This time, Gao Jing and Shantai came to Qinghe City, first of all, to learn about the liquor market here.

Prepare for the future.

He couldn't have been in a mountain village all the time.

After tasting rye wine and chestnut rice wine.

Gao Jing finally understood.

Why do the mountain giants love the liquor they bring so much - there is no harm without comparison!

High spirits are the most suitable drinks for men in the wilderness!

At this time, a large plate of charcoal-grilled wild boar meat and smoked wild beef were also served.

Shantai used the bone dagger to cut out a little bit and gave it to Gao Jing as usual.

It really only takes "a little" to suffice.

Eat meat and drink in a big bowl, but Shantai feels very unpleasant.

He drank the rest of the ale and rice wine in one gulp, and then reached into the rattan basket next to him.

Grab a black-brown clay pot.

This clay pot is about two meters high, which is even higher than Gaojing, and is more than one meter wide.

Shantai opened the sealed clay lid, and a smell of wine immediately wafted out.

Inside this clay pot, a full five tons of liquor are stored!

It is the so-called easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Accustomed to drinking this real spirit, and then drinking ale and rice wine, Shantai could no longer accept it.

He poured himself a full bowl of liquor.

Put the wine jar aside, pick up the wine bowl with both hands, and take a sip first.

A satisfied smile suddenly appeared!

A giant warrior had just taken a seat on Shantai's left.

He smelled the strong aroma of wine, watched Shantai gulp down the liquor, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Friends. ”

When Shantai put down the wine bowl, the giant couldn't help but ask, "What kind of wine are you?"

Shantai glanced at the other party and replied, "Baijiu." ”

"Liquor?"

The Giant Warrior scratched his head: "I haven't heard of it, can you let me taste it?"

As he spoke, he licked his tongue.

Obviously, he was aroused by the aroma of wine, and he looked salivating.

"Yes. ”

Shantai grabbed the wine jar and poured a small half bowl of liquor for the other party.

Under normal circumstances, Shantai would not share liquor with strangers to drink - he didn't have enough to drink.

But on the way to Qinghe City, Gao Jing specially explained to him.

This time, the two of them want to make a name for themselves in Qinghe City.

Let everyone know that liquor exists.

What other difficult words such as "advertising", "marketing", "hype" and "promotion" were said!

Shantai didn't know what to do.

It can only mean that he is completely obedient to Gao Jing's arrangement.

And the Giant Warrior had no idea that he had become a propaganda tool.

He couldn't wait to pick up the bowl.

Drink half a bowl of liquor in one go.

As a result, the wine entered the stomach and the wine rushed upward, and his face suddenly turned red: "Good wine!"
