Chapter 1188: Coins
"It's quite lively. ”
Through the city gate hole, without the obstruction of the city wall, the people in the city were seen by Fengyun in the eyes, and after just one glance, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
Originally, in his imagination, even if someone had the courage to build such a majestic city, but due to the degree of civilization development, it would not be much to look at.
But when he saw the situation in the city, he immediately realized that he was wrong.
Not only is there a lot of people in the city, but in such a large city, there are even crowded places in some places, and it is not difficult to imagine how many people there will be in the whole city, and at a glance, there are not only a large number of stalls on the ground, but even rows of shops.
If you don't know what kind of world you are in, just looking at the situation in the city, Fengyun will even think that you are in the scene of a costume TV series.
After the crowd walked a distance, especially after seeing the transactions of the stalls and shops on the ground, the surprise in Fengyun's heart became heavier.
Fengyun initially thought that they were bartering, but no, they actually used currency. Although the currency they used was different from the money he knew—gold, silver, copper, and paper money—it was functionally very similar.
Through observation, Fengyun discovered that what they were trading for was a kind of stone, made into thin sheets, slightly thicker than the copper coins he knew, and although it was not absolutely round, it was not much different.
The flakes that are used as currency are also divided into different types, in short, they can be divided into small, medium, and large, the smallest ones are about the same size as a one-dollar coin, and the medium and large ones are two circles larger in turn, and the thickness is slightly increased.
The stone flakes are also quite finely made, with patterns on both sides, one side showing a majestic mountain and the other looking like a city.
Seeing the pattern of the city, Fengyun felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and he quickly discovered where the familiarity came from.
Although the thin stone pattern is relatively sketchy, the general outline is quite similar to the majestic city where he is now.
Continuing to observe, Fengyun found that the previous exchange ratio of the three coins was fixed, all of them were one to ten, which means that one large one can be exchanged for a hundred small ones.
With these flakes, it's possible to buy anything you want in the city.
Fengyun is very curious about those flakes, but it is not convenient to get started, he can't always tell others, I haven't seen them, please show me.
Others will definitely think of him as a liar.
Fortunately, Fengyun quickly found a way to get his hands on those thin slices.
The stalls and shops on both sides of the road will also collect things when they are selling things, and they pay for the flakes.
Fengyun and Miao Piao both carried a bundle of skins that they had stripped all the way from the brute beast they had chosen as their prey.
These skins were originally intended to be traded.
After looking around, Fengyun found that there were many merchants who bought skins, and the skins he and Miao Piao carried should be easy to sell.
However, Fengyun didn't immediately find a store and sell them directly, but walked around the street.
But if you look closely, you will find that his eyes will look at the fur transactions that are going on from time to time, and in the process of understanding, he will only confirm the purchase price of various skins.
Although the skins he and Miao Piao carried were all stripped from the brute beasts they hunted to fill their stomachs, which was a by-product, he was still unwilling to sell them cheaply.
Buying less money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to be cheapened by the acquirer, and he still scolds him and Miao Piao in his heart for being stupid.
In addition, Fengyun delayed the transaction in order to be able to know more about the Xiongcheng where it is located.
After about an hour, Fengyun finally took Miao Piao into a shop that bought skins, and this one he had selected after repeated comparisons.
Although Fengyun still doesn't know what the specific market of fur is, he can still confirm how much each piece of skin can be sold for.
Fengyun only stayed in the store for less than ten minutes, and he walked out with Miao Piao, but the two bundles of skins they were carrying were gone.
They've done the deal.
It turns out that Fengyun's eyesight is still quite good, and he chose the right trading partner.
The middle-aged man who bought the skins looked at the skins that Fengyun and Miao Piao had brought in, and quickly quoted their prices, and the prices made them all satisfied.
The price given by the other party was a little higher than Fengyun expected, so he simply traded directly.
"Boom la la ......"
Walking out of the shop, Fengyun shook the animal skin bag he was talking about, and there was a crisp crashing sound from inside, but it was not the sound of stones colliding, but something like metal impacting.
The animal skin bag in Fengyun's hand contained the proceeds from selling the skins he and Miao Piao carried, a total of forty-three small coins, twelve medium coins, and eight large coins.
After getting the money, Fengyun didn't rush to spend them, but found a slightly more secluded corner and opened up his research on them.
Since the material was the same, Fengyun simply took out a big coin, studied it cognitively, and soon after, he wanted to see it differently.
It does look like a flake made of stone, but it is not, at least in terms of hardness, it is much stronger than rock.
Fengyun had tried to break it open, and though he hadn't used all his strength, if he had exchanged it for gold, silver, or gold, silver, and bronze, they would have been badly deformed.
But it still remained its original appearance, and what made Fengyun even more curious was that he could feel that this seemed to be far from its limit.
Fengyun didn't test its limits, if it was broken, it might not be able to spend it, and according to his observations, a lot of money can buy a lot of things, and it's a pity to destroy it.
Fengyun held it up in front of him and made a closer observation, he wanted to know its material, because as far as he knew, such a strong stone, except for the stone field where the fire lotus grows, must belong to the stone from which it was made, and the other stones were too much worse than them.
But Fengyun was soon disappointed, it was a stone he had never seen before, and he had never heard of it, but it was not bothering him, and he found a shop to buy food.
After asking the price, he ordered a lot, and at the end he took out a few small coins as a reward, and easily learned the answer from the shopkeeper's mouth, but the answer was somewhat unexpected.
