Lao Zhu is still dressed in the same short clothes as before, coupled with that simple black face, he is absolutely unpopular when he walks at the temple fair. Yuan Sheng and Han Cheng followed him left and right, their eyes spinning around, looking around vigilantly.

If you look closely, you can still find that there are guards who are willing to form an encirclement, but at this moment, those guards are carrying a lot of things on their shoulders, and there is no need to ask if these are all bought by Lao Zhu.

Spring temple fairs are not only for sacrifices, but also for farmers to go to the city to sell some agricultural goods to cope with the spring famine or prepare for the summer harvest. Lao Zhu, a rich man, naturally wanted to reach out to help his people, and bought a lot of pampas mats, dried dates, persimmon cakes, etc., and also bought a basket of fluffy ducklings.

At present, he was holding a fluffy duck in his hands, looking left and right on the street, and saw a cartoon doll that he had never seen before on a stall selling dolls on the side of the road, with a delicate yellow body like a duckling in his hand, long ears, red cheeks, and a bent tail, which was really cute and tight.

Lao Zhu asked casually, "What is this?" ”

The vendor who set up the stall looked at Lao Zhu and said with a smile: "You really have a vision, this is a new puppet in the Ma family's shop, called Bikachu, said to be a spirit animal in the sky, can keep peace and joy, it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", my brother should buy one for the grandchildren in the family." ”

Lao Zhu almost didn't laugh, "You are a stall selling gadgets and you still know the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", let me test you a few words, if you can answer, I will buy two." ”

Just when Lao Zhu thought that he had a good education for the people, the peddler sneered and said: "How can I understand this, the words are taught by the shopkeeper and buddy of the Ma family, and I am afraid of the deep alleys when it is said that it is the fragrance of wine, and no matter how good things are, we must know how to package and publicize." ”

"Hmph, sure enough, there are no honest people in his family." Lao Zhu scolded in his heart, and pointed to the puppet again, "Your thing doesn't look like it's from the Ma family's shop, although his things are a little more expensive, but they are all good materials, and they will never use this kind of coarse linen, and they can almost reach into their fingers." ”

The peddler was a little embarrassed and said: "My brother is really a person who has seen the world, and I won't tell you that this thing is imitated in the small workshop, and it is used by small families to coax children." If you want to give something away, I really have one here. ”

The peddler took out a South Sea mahogany square box from under the stall, opened it and saw that it was a bikachu, but it was porcelain, delicate and lovely, shiny and shiny, even the big demon king Lao Zhu liked it very much, and unconsciously played with it in his hand.

The peddler looked frightened, "Brother, be light, this is the gold from the official kiln." ”

Lao Zhu looked at the mark at the bottom, "Ouch, it's really from the official kiln in Jingdezhen!" ”

"Brother is really knowledgeable, this thing is much better than a vase in the house, the young master and young lady of the big family like it tightly, even the red card girl of Qinhuai River is also a piece of hand, brother buy one for the children at home to play."

Yuan Sheng muttered in Lao Zhu's ear: "A few days ago, the two little princesses asked Niangniang for this thing, but unfortunately the shop at Uncle Guo's house was out of stock, and they said that they could not come until the end of the year." ”

Lao Zhu nodded and said to the peddler, "Then bring me ten." "He has a lot of daughters, so he can't favor one over the other, and he is ready to get one by himself.

The peddler thought that he couldn't afford it when he saw Lao Zhu's shabby dress, and it was just a professional habit to sell to him, but he didn't expect Lao Zhu to ask for ten, and said in surprise: "Guest officer, this thing is not cheap, it costs three taels of silver." ”

"Hey...... Am I like a man who can't take out thirty or forty taels of silver? ”

The peddler said with a bitter face: "The villain is clumsy, it really doesn't seem that you have such a rich net worth, but unfortunately the villain doesn't have such goods, a total of two from the Ma family's shop, sold one, now there is only this one, the villain doesn't earn much from you, you give a three, two or six dollars." ”

"Three, two, six? I want this thing! ”

The peddler had just put the porcelain cartoon doll back into the box, and he didn't know where to reach out and snatch it directly into his arms.

Lao Zhu turned his head unhappily, only to see that it was a student wearing a college robe, a very handsome young man, but unfortunately he was ruined by a mole on his cheeks, he held the box in one hand and hurriedly took out money from his purse with the other.

The hawker also said: "Don't worry, you show talent, the things have already been asked by this guest officer, you better buy them elsewhere." ”

"If you can buy it elsewhere and come to you, I've been looking for it for a long time, and besides, he didn't give the money, so the transaction was not completed, and my money was given first, then it was mine." The student fell into pieces of silver and copper coins on the stall.

Lao Zhu smiled and said, "I'm afraid your money is not enough, Yuansheng will take the silver!" ”

The student gritted his teeth and took out two meal tickets from his purse and slapped them on the stall, "What if you have money, I have this!" Then he told the peddler, "Don't talk about me!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The peddler's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Take the things!" ”

The student took his things in his arms and walked quickly.

Lao Zhu secretly waved his hand to stop Han Cheng, but asked the peddler suspiciously, "What?" His money is fragrant, but my money is stinky? ”

"I'm sorry!" The peddler first made amends before saying, "For a poor person like me, any money is fragrant, but you don't have it!" ”

The shopkeeper lit up the two meal tickets and put them into his arms, "This thing can not only be used as money, but also has a wonderful use!" ”

Originally, the meal ticket was only circulated inside the academy, but since the business near Fangshan prospered, I don't know how to circulate outside, most of them are small stalls and taverns, of course, they are used by fucked students.

Those who have received meal tickets can bring these meal tickets to the account office of the academy to exchange for real silver money, and after a long time, they have really circulated around Fangshan, and those who set up stalls can get food money in taverns, and those who open taverns can buy things in the grocery store, and there is a guarantee from the academy and the Ma family, and the paper money in Fangshan is no different from that of later generations.

But later, it was used by people with intentions, and it was used to buy the goods that were in demand in the Ma family, and if you didn't sell them to him, it would damage the reputation of the academy and the Ma family. As a result, the college no longer allowed students to use meal tickets outside, otherwise they would be punished, but it was still repeatedly banned, and Ma Du had already begun to consider whether to make real-name meal tickets.

Issuing banknotes? No kidding, this kind of loud predatory behavior is the patent of the emperor, unless Madu doesn't want to live anymore.

"I don't have money or power, if I don't have this thing, why can I get a good product from the Ma family's shop." The vendor was overjoyed to get two meal tickets.

Lao Zhu was surprised in his heart, he was not surprised by the magic of what the hawker said, but surprised that a thin piece of paper could be used as a moneymaker!
