The firewood in the fire cage of the fish has long been burned out, there is no fire, you can't walk at night, fortunately it is a hot summer night, the three dogs hide the fire cage in a bush, find a corner and squint for half a night, the next morning just dawn, got up and left.

This is aimless, but the direction is still the county seat, perhaps, only when you go farther away, away from home, will you feel that there will be fewer eyes stared at on your back.

The heart of the road, with the dust all the way, became confused all the way; Sangou is like a child who has done something wrong and does not dare to go home, anxiously walking aimlessly on the side of the road, wanting to go home, but not daring to go back, walking, and not knowing where to go.

Full of worries, the three dogs walked all morning, and they forgot whether they had breakfast, it should not be.

The familiar county town is not far ahead, the mottled city wall has stood for thousands of years, drunk the wind, frost, snow and rain, full of wrinkles, and there are countless stories hidden in the wind, secretly told in the wind.

The drunken poetry and the charming distance did not impress the three dogs, and now the three dogs are moved by the smell of vegetables wafting from the east gate, and the stomach rumbling can't stand it, after all, people are not steel and stones, and they will still be hungry after all.

Sangou was reluctant to go to the restaurant, so he couldn't wait to walk into a fried noodle shop, ordered a plate of fried noodles, and ate it like a storm, and finally his stomach stopped making trouble.

It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious fried noodles, Sangou wants to have another bowl, but after thinking about it, I still don't want it, I can't spend it lavishly, after all, it's not my own money.

When paying, Sangou wiped his hands on his body, carefully lifted Mingyue's sweat towel, folded it and put it in his own pocket, then tore open the paper skin wrapped in the ocean, took out the top ocean, and carefully gave it to the shopkeeper.

A small fried noodle shop rarely receives such a large denomination of money, and the shopkeeper looked at Sangou with puzzled eyes, but still accepted the silver dollar.

The shopkeeper picked up the dollar, tossed it upward, let it fall on the thick wooden table, and put his thumb and forefinger in the center of the dollar, and blew it on the edge of the dollar with his lips, and put it to his ear.

In the past, silver ingots (ingots), broken silver, and money (copper coins with an outer circle and inner square) were used as coins, and silver dollars were later used as rich merchants who did big business, employing a large number of employees, and when they were paid wages every month, so they did not weigh the broken silver and cause disputes, so they minted silver dollars by themselves, and stipulated that each cake had five silver coins, so in the early years, silver dollars were also called silver cakes.

Later, Mexican silver dollars (commonly known as ink silver) flowed into China, which were machine-minted and more accurately portioned; Foreigners who come to China to buy goods use this silver dollar.

Each ink silver is cast with seven coins and three points of silver, and the warehouse scale is seven coins and two cents, and there is an "eagle" on it, so it is also called "Yingyang", because it is transported from abroad, it is also called "fan cake", and the folk call it "Yangdian".

Later, the Great Qing Kingdom also began to mint a large number of silver dollars in the Guangxu period, with a dragon on it, called "Longyang".

In the early years of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai was in power, and a silver dollar was minted, on which there was a large head of Yuan Shikai, so later the people called this silver dollar "Yuan Datou", referred to as "Datou".

In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China (1928), after the capital was set in Nanjing, silver dollars were also minted, and the head of Sun Yat-sen was on it, which was slightly smaller than "Yuan Datou", and was called "Sun Xiaotou" by the people; But these are collectively referred to as the "oceans".

Under the silver dollar, there are two kinds of auxiliary coins, the first level is "silver quill", which is called Xiaoyang, millizi, silver slot, etc. in the south; The second level is the "copper yuan", commonly known as copper plates and copper slots.

These two kinds of auxiliary coins are not decimal system, but to follow the rise and fall of silver prices and copper prices. At that time, the market price did not go up or down, and one silver dollar could be exchanged for about 130 copper dollars.

At that time, the price of goods was one copper dollar, you could buy eight grains of sugar out of ten, one for each of the flatbread fritters, two copper dollars for a bowl of rice balls, three copper dollars for fried noodles without meat, and four copper dollars for meat; One ocean can buy more than 150 eggs.

It's almost a copper dollar, similar to the current dollar, a silver quill is about ten yuan now, and a silver dollar is about 130 yuan.

In fact, in some places, there is a kind of auxiliary currency below the copper plate, a copper plate is worth ten cents, and people used to scold people and say that it is "worthless", according to the current price, that is to say, it is not worth a dime.

Silver dollars are made of ninety-eight pure silver, and only two-hundredths of the other metals are made, so the hardness is a little harder than 100 percent sterling silver.

At that time, there were also fake silver dollars, which were made of copper or lead, and most people knew how to distinguish them, as long as they took one dollar and knocked on the edge of another, the real one made a sound, and the fake one would make a dumb sound.

Another method is to put two fingers between the center of the silver dollar and blow the edge of the silver dollar with your lips, and the real silver dollar will make a very slight and long "Yin" silver flute sound, which is not the case with very little copper.

The amount of money in the small shop is small, if you encounter a piece of ocean, the guy first throws this money on the thick wooden counter, and the sound is crisp and you will accept it, and the sound is some wood, so you have to ask the guest to change it.

After confirming that it was a real silver dollar, the boss put it away and found some Xiaoyang and copper plates for Sangou, who put the change he found in another pocket.

Today's weather is also quite interesting, the morning is cloudy, a little bit want to rain, but just a moment after eating, the sun came out again, and unprepared, directly is the scorching noon sun.

The three dogs were barefoot, walking on the dirt road in the morning and didn't seem to feel it, but now after eating, they went out of the hotel and walked on the stone road in the county, and they were suddenly burned and jumped up, and quickly retreated, walking next to the foot of the wall.

I found a nearest shoe shop, bought a pair of relatively cheap cloth shoes, but also spent a lot of money, I can't help but feel distressed, I rarely spent so much money before, but now there is no way, this money can not be saved.

I borrowed some water from the store and washed my feet, put on my shoes, and it was much more comfortable. In February this year, the state launched a new life movement in Nanchang, advocating discipline, morality, order, cleanliness, etc., and a special meeting was held in the school to talk about it; Walking barefoot on the street is unhygienic, so you should pay attention to your image.

At noon, the stone slabs on the road were sunburned as if they were smoking, as if there was transparent smoke floating on them. It's good to wear shoes, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to walk at all.

There are almost no pedestrians on the street, it is empty, only the trees on the side of the road are screaming loudly, and they are a little tinnitus when they hear it, and they don't know if they know if they have ears, doesn't this make you noisy to death?
