Chapter 144: Be careful
Boss Huang smiled, this would be refreshing, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve pocket, and pushed it in front of Xu Wenlan.
Xu Wenlan blinked, touched it with his upper hand, it was made of paper, but it was not a single layer, there should be a sandwich.
It is printed with red letters: Hengtong Qianzhuang, but the number is not printed, but "fifty taels" written in brush characters, and stamped with a red seal.
I haven't seen the silver ticket yet, Xu Wenlan stared at it for a long time, and couldn't recognize the authenticity.
With a light cough, she pretended to be calm and asked, "Don't you have an official ticket?" ”
Boss Huang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Look at you girl, when did we issue official tickets in the Qing Dynasty?" ”
With a "chuckle" in her heart, Xu Wenlan knew that her timidity was visible, but she forced herself to calm down: "Let Uncle Huang laugh, I am from a small family, and I have never seen a silver ticket, if you want to say, how do I know that your silver ticket is real?" ”
"Isn't there a seal of Hengtong Money on it!" Boss Huang shook the silver ticket: "If you go to Hengtong Bank, you will be able to redeem the silver, you see, there is a ...... with my name written on the back."
Turning to the back, sure enough, Xu Wenlan blinked and smiled: "Uncle Huang, tell me about this silver ticket!" ”
"What is there to talk about? I save money, the money bank issues invoices, you can receive money at any time, if you save long enough, give me some interest, what is there to talk about......"
"Then, in addition to Hengtong Money, where else can I redeem it? Can we still redeem it after our black water? ”
Boss Huang smiled: "Naturally, it can't be redeemed when it comes out of the black water, and it's not stored elsewhere - this girl, what you said was the pre-Ming Dynasty, right?" Now there is not such a big bank, and the court is strictly controlled! ”
Squinting slightly, Xu Wenlan looked at Boss Huang and thought to herself.
It seems that Hengtong Bank is similar to a modern bank, and this silver note is the deposit rule.
To put it that way, it's not quite the same as the money bank she heard about. She also has some general impressions, it seems that the money village in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was very prosperous, as if there was a TV show, saying that it was controlled by Shanxi people, that is, Jin merchants, and the headquarters was in Pingyao Yes-well, it seems to be like this.
As long as it is a ticket issued by the bank, it can be used as serious money, whether it is doing business or doing anything, as long as it is used as a silver ticket. One vote, the world is universal, unlike now......
Fingers stroked the silver ticket, Xu Wenlan looked at Boss Huang with a smile: "Uncle Huang, I'm young and ignorant, don't be angry!" I just wanted to ask, can this silver ticket be redeemed from the bank without your permission? Can I use your signature or any kind of certificate? ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the small seal in the lower left corner of the back of the silver ticket: "Look, there is a private seal under your name!" If I don't have this, I'll just go and redeem it, I'm afraid that people will beat me out as a thief! ”
With a smile, Boss Huang turned his face away, coughed a few times, and then forced a smile: "The little girl is really fine!" Da Kuan, took my ribbon and the little brother of the Bai family went to exchange the silver - the handling fee for the silver exchange had to be paid by himself! ”
"And the processing fee?"
"yes, this silver ticket hasn't expired yet!" Boss Huang smiled: "If it weren't for your niece, I wouldn't have used this silver ticket." ”
"That's really sorry." Xu Wenlan pursed her lips and smiled, swallowed that breath, and motioned for Bai Shengwen and Huang Dakuan to go together.
The exchange of silver tickets was fast, but with a cup of tea, Bai Shengwen and Huang Dakuan came back. Holding a burden tightly in his arms, even if Bai Shengwen is usually calm, he is nervous at this moment.
When I entered the house, I still looked reserved: "Uncle Huang, can I, can I talk to my sister-in-law?" ”
Boss Huang looked at him, just thinking that their little brother and sister wanted to make some money together, haha, laughed, didn't say anything, and really avoided it.
As soon as Boss Huang went out, Bai Shengwen's restrained expression was retracted, and he opened the baggage, and inside was a small wooden box, with nine silver ingots neatly placed.
After Xu Wenlan walked through, she didn't look at so much money, and reached out to caress it, her eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Five taels and one ingot."
"Huh?" Xu Wenlan blinked: "Five taels of silver will be deducted from the handling fee?" What kind of money is this, it's too pitiful. ”
Bai Shengwen looked out, lowered his head, and whispered: "I avoided Huang Dakuan and asked, this silver ticket is an advance check, that is, it is the money that Boss Huang borrowed from the bank, and one cent of interest will be deducted when redeeming the ticket, and at the end of the year, Boss Huang only needs to repay fifty taels." ”
Squinting her eyes, Xu Wenlan immediately understood: "That is to say, Boss Huang borrowed fifty taels, but the interest was let us out, he used the money in vain, right?" ”
The nameless fire started, and Xu Wenlan really couldn't wait to go out immediately to fight with Boss Huang.
Okay! Make money and let us help you pay interest, right?
also said that the interest was the handling fee for the exchange of silver bills, which was clearly to bully them and cheat them!
Okay, since you are so unkind and unjust, don't blame me for tricking you.
Biting her lip, Xu Wenlan didn't hesitate any longer, took the pen and ink, she quickly wrote a few lines, but deliberately dripped ink and threw it on the ground in a ball, and wrote it a few times before she really wrote the formula.
When Boss Huang came in, Xu Wenlan had already written the formula, probably because he was not used to the pen, his hands were sticking to ink, and even his face was a little black.
Seeing Boss Huang coming in, he smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Huang, I'm sorry, it took me a few times to write, and it cost you several pieces of paper." Brother Kuan, I'm going to trouble you to clean up. ”
Huang Dakuan pursed his lips, and seeing that Boss Huang didn't speak, he went out to get a broom and sweep the floor.
Boss Huang didn't pay attention to it, but just took Xu Wenlan's recipe, read it carefully, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's that simple?" ”
Xu Wenlan said calmly: "Uncle Huang, although the formula is simple, this ratio is exquisite, and I tried it a few times before I succeeded." Uncle, you should have tried it too, if it was so easy to succeed, you wouldn't have bought it from me, right? ”
Boss Huang snorted twice, but said with a smile: "Big niece, you are too good to make this money!" If you want to be like you, it won't be long before you become rich. ”
Xu Wenlan smiled, didn't answer the words, just smiled: "Uncle Huang, the formula is also for you, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
Nodding, Boss Huang didn't have much smile on his face: "Don't forget the terms written on the deed paper, if you sell it to someone else or do it yourself, I will recover the fifty taels of silver." ”
"Uncle Huang, don't worry, I won't make such a mistake. If I really make a mistake, where can I find an extra five taels of silver to pay you back? I don't dare! ”
Haha, Boss Huang didn't see any embarrassment, and shouted with a smile: "Da Kuan, send off guests-"
didn't hear Huang Dakuan's response, Xu Wenlan smiled: "You don't need to send it, it's not your head back." Uncle Huang stayed. ”
Out of the hall, walked to the front yard, and after a few steps, I saw Huang Dakuan.
Probably taking out the garbage, carrying them on their backs, and not knowing what they were looking at.
