"No, boss, you just came from the mainland, the foreign bank is to exchange the money for Hong Kong dollars, the bank does not accept the old money from the mainland, the main reason is that it is too messy, so let the foreign bank deal with it." The rickshaw master said.

"That's okay, I'll change the money in a while, you wait for me for a while." Xuan Yi responded, and didn't care how this rickshaw master could see that he had just come to Xiangjiang.

If you don't speak, it's okay, people can only tell whether you are rich or not, but as soon as you talk to each other, you will know how long you have been living in Xiangjiang.

When he came to the foreign bank, he exchanged some fiat currency, copper plates, and some silver dollars into Hong Kong dollars according to the proportion, but he did not change them all, and the silver dollar was the strongest currency in the Republic of China.

After changing it, it was more than 170 yuan.

"Master, I still have some foreign currency here, should I exchange it here or go to the bank to exchange it?" Xuan Yi took out a franc and handed it over.

"Oh, you can just go to the bank to exchange these, we are here to collect some coins from the mainland, and foreign currencies are traded in the bank." A staff member inside the small window said.

Moonie nodded and withdrew the franc, and then a group of rickshaw drivers around him began to call him, asking where he was going.

Xuan Yi greeted the northeastern man who pulled him over again, after all, there was no problem with the two communicating in language.

The Northeast man is also clever, and he didn't ask where to go, but ran away from this densely populated place first.

"Brother, how much do you pay for this car bag a day?" Xuan Yi asked directly.

"Boss, look at what you said, you give 2 yuan, I will be yours all day today, even if you want me to pull you to the New Territories." The Northeast man said.

"Give! What's my brother's name? Crepe Yi directly took out two Hong Kong dollars and handed them over.

"The boss can call me Tiezhu, I don't have a name, it just so happens that I am from Tieling, so my surname is Tie." The iron pillar is hehe, hey, a pleasure.

"Okay, Tiezhu, you take me to the nearest HSBC first." After speaking, Xuan Yi added: "The kind that can handle business." ”

"Okay, boss, sit down!" The pillar trotted again.

Running through a street, just around the corner, under the introduction of the iron pillar, this is the HSBC branch, these foreign banks can directly handle the business after the exchange business.

After the crepe Yi with a suit collar walked into the bank, this bank did not have the appearance of a later bank, nor was it like a hotel lobby style in the United States, but it was a bit like a pawnshop, the iron fence only exposed a small window, and then behind the iron fence was a wooden board that blocked the view, but there were many people who handled business, there were people in suits and collars, and there were also ordinary coarse linen personnel.

"Sir, what business do you want to handle?" A chubby man in a suit and bow tie walked over and asked, and he quickly noticed the young man who came to the door and looked around, looking around.

Of course, the other party didn't look like a robber in a decent outfit, so he quickly judged that it should be someone who had just come from the mainland.

Although the Sino-British border has been completely closed, there are still people who have come by various means, and the smuggling of the Xiangjiang River has not stopped until the return to China.

"Open an account and exchange some foreign currency." Xuan Yi listened to the other party's Cantonese and said directly in Mandarin.

"Ah, okay, please come with me!" The bank manager was stunned for a moment, and quickly led Xuan Yi to a closed window, and then knocked.

Looking over from the small window, a staff member inside tidied up his clothes and sat down again, "Sir, hello, what business are you handling?" ”

Listening to this Beijing dialect, he nodded kindly to the manager who was standing not far away, he deserved to be the manager, and the service really had nothing to say, so he brought him directly to this window.

"What do you need to open an account?"

"You need to provide your Xiangjiang ID card." The salesman looked at Xuan Yi and said.

Xuan Yi frowned, he didn't have an ID card and looked at the previous manager, who quickly came over, "I need to exchange these foreign currencies, but I can't open an account." ”

"So, sir, would you please come with me to the office, and I will explain it to you in detail?" The manager will immediately understand.

In fact, the manager mainly saw that the other party took out a cloth bag from his arms, in which stacks of foreign currencies were placed, most of which were US dollars and francs.

When I came to an office, the manager didn't talk nonsense, "Yes, sir, Xiangjiang has closed the border with the mainland 2 years ago, and has begun to issue ID cards to all those who have a history of residence 50 years ago, and have a certifier and guarantor, and the other is that businessmen with investment can also apply for Xiangjiang status." ”

"Investment? How much to invest. Xuan Yi nodded, in fact, it is similar to the investment immigrants of later generations, but the British collect money in disguise, in fact, now they can handle it with money at the police station, after all, at this time, Xiangjiang belongs to the gray area of people from the mainland, and they did not verbally say that they are not from Xiangjiang, nor did they object to these people living in Xiangjiang.

"If Mr. Xiang has a deposit of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars in our bank, we can issue a certificate of assets, so that you can go directly to the local police station to file and get your ID card directly." Said the bank manager.

"HK$2,000? I know! "These foreign currencies on Mo Yi's body seem to be a lot, but they are actually some small denominations" Then you don't need any ID card for foreign currency exchange business. ”

"Of course, we accept the business of exchanging foreign currency." The bank manager nodded sincerely.

"Thank you, I'll open an account when I come back." Crepe Yi came to the lobby again, and then came to the foreign currency exchange window again and handed over all the cash directly.

HK$1356.

After Crepe Yi came out of the bank again, the money had been transferred to the space, and the thief's technique of this year was amazing, his pocket was now completely empty, and he didn't contain anything.

Tie Zhu quickly adjusted the car after seeing Crepe Yi come out, and waited for Crepe Yi to get in the car and walked for a while before stopping, "Boss, where are we going next?" ”

"Let's go buy a pack of cigarettes first, I think about it." Crepe Yi handed over a dollar.

Tie Zhu shouted at a child in the distance, and the child with the wooden box ran over, looked back at the boss who seemed to be thinking about something, and chose a pack of similar cigarettes for himself.

After taking the change, it was actually bought by Tie Zhu out of his own pocket, and a box of cigarettes was only 2 cents, and it was estimated that it was the most expensive.

"Tiezhu, find a place to eat first, just a noodle restaurant." Xuan Yi felt that he was still looking for a place to inquire with Tiezhu.

After running a few streets, before she got out of the car, she saw a woman rushing out with a kitchen knife, "You, you're back before noon, starving ghost ......"

"What, boss, this is my mother-in-law, but don't worry, my family's lo noodles are famous on this street, look at this guest." Tie Zhu hurriedly turned around and said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's have two bowls of lo mein." Xuan Yi didn't care, and then watched Tie Zhu take the initiative to run over and help Xuan Yi move a small table and stool over.

"Sit, Tiezhu, I'll ask you something, eat first, I'll invite you." Xuan Yi said with a smile.

"How can this be, it's all made at home, I'll ask the boss to eat, Cuihua, come and play two bowls of lo mein!" The iron pillar roared.

While eating lo mein crepe, he began to inquire about things with Tie Zhu, and after asking around, he sat at the small table and smoked a cigarette and pondered things.

"Boss, you still don't go to work? Why don't you bring a few people over for dinner? What are you doing in a daze! Cuihua looked at the man who came to help, glared at him, and whispered.

"Here, this boss has packed my car today." As he spoke, Tie Zhu stuffed the money he earned today into Cuihua's hand.

"Hey, okay, then you can say hello, I'll leave you something to eat in the evening." Cuihua nodded, and quickly carried the money into her arms.

"Cuihua, come to a bowl of lo mein and put more meat on mein!" Suddenly, he interrupted the crepe who was thinking about things, and then watched a large group of people come over.

In particular, a greasy-haired and powder-faced man walked up and down in front of Xuan Yi and looked up and down, sat directly opposite him, and directly smoked the cigarette on the table from it, and then kicked it into his pocket.

"Brother, new here, fresh face!" When he said this, he struck a match and lit a cigarette.

"Sanzi, what are you doing, you want to eat in the house, don't disturb the old lady's business!" Cuihua shouted directly.

"What, sit, sit, sit in the house, sit in the house, I've brought you to eat." Tie Zhu also hurriedly ran over, squeezed away a few people, and said to the person sitting opposite Xuanyi with a smile.

"Zhuzi, you said earlier, I should be a newcomer, thank you, brother!" As he spoke, he patted most of the pack of cigarettes in his jacket pocket.

Waiting for a circle of people to enter the store, leaning there smoking and chatting.

"Boss, I'm sorry, that's my buddy, begging for a living here, why don't we go around the street?" Tie Zhu hurriedly said.

"Do you know a white rose barber parlor?" Crepe said with a smile. glanced at the little Shenyang inside, if I remember correctly, this kid should be called Sanjiangshui.

However, Xian Yi didn't dare to do anything with others, you must know that this buddy in memory is related to the Gong family, and has seen an overseas version, this Sanjiangshui Chinese New Year's Eve is eating dumplings at Gong Er.

"Ah, are you talking about the new barbershop on Da Nan Street? Where is your friend? Tie Zhu thought about it and suddenly remembered and said.

"Oh, on Da Nan Street, go over and have a look!" Chu Yi touched her hair and nodded.

Tie Zhu said hello to his family and took the boss directly in the rickshaw and left.

Da Nan Street is not far from the back alley of Tiezhu's house, bypassing a few street corners, it is there, Tiezhu put down the rickshaw and saw that Xuanyi walked in and squatted honestly beside the car.

"Hello and welcome." A guy in a white lab coat greeted Crepe.
