007 Six gold coins
Two days later, Chen Yi finished his morning exercise and walked to the manor.
In the past few days, he has been getting up early in the morning, walking into the woods, and then shuttling back to the transit space to train inside.
"Although the compressed biscuits are on the stomach, the nutrition is still a little worse." As he walked, he thought, "It seems that we have to get some money as soon as possible, go back to Earth, and buy meat to eat." ”
When he was about to arrive at the manor, he saw a carriage parked at the door, and his heart was happy, could it be that the nobleman invited by Baron York had finally arrived?
He couldn't help but quicken his pace, walked over and asked the horse leader, "Is there a guest coming?" ”
"Yes, Baron Vika's family has arrived."
Chen Yi got a positive answer, he was in a good mood, and it was finally time to make money.
Near noon, two more barons came. Listening to Amy, they are all nobles who are good friends with Baron York, and they have contacts every year.
In the afternoon, Baron York sent for him to come to the party.
Chen Yi knew that Xirou was coming, so he changed his clothes, brought his things, and went to the appointment.
The party was held in a garden at the back, where the adults sat on their chairs and the children played on the lawn.
"Welcome guests from the East, Mr. Chen Yi." When Baron York saw him coming, he stood up and introduced them.
Attracted by Chen Yi's unusual appearance, the children who were playing on the lawn also came over and looked at him curiously.
Chen Yi had been here for a few days, and he had become accustomed to the curious eyes of the locals, and greeted the three barons with a smile.
Finally, these nobles had some tutors, and they didn't offend them, and they drove the children away.
After chatting for a while, I finally got to the point.
A tall baron said, "I heard you have brought some fine refined salt, can you show us something?" ”
"Absolutely."
Chen Yi took out a white porcelain vase and handed it over.
The baron took it carefully, opened the lid, and exclaimed, "How pure white." ”
The other two barons also leaned over, looking at the fine salt in the bottle, and they were also amazed.
The first baron asked, "Can I try it?" ”
"Yes." Chen Yi made a gesture of please.
The baron couldn't wait to pick up a small spoon, dip it in a little salt, put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, looked at him eagerly, and asked, "Mr. Chen, can you sell me this refined salt?" ”
"Mr. Chen, I want to buy some too."
"Sell it to me if you can."
The other two barons also hurriedly said.
"This ......," Chen Yi said with some embarrassment, "I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring much weight, I'm afraid I'm ......."
Baron Theron, who was the first to speak, reacted quickly and said, "Then I bought this bottle, and I will produce a Kinses." ”
"Baron Theron, this is not going to work."
"No, no, no, play fair. I can come out of two Kinses."
The other two protested.
When Chen Yi heard this price, he was overjoyed. But he stood up and stopped them from fighting any further, saying, "Guys, listen to me." I still have some salt in the house, so let's just have a bottle for each person. ”
Hearing that everyone could buy a bottle, the three barons all smiled.
…………
In the evening, Chen Yi looked at the six gold coins in his hand, and his heart was full of joy.
The world still uses metal money, copper, silver and gold coins. In the case of Locketown, five copper coins can buy a piece of low-quality loaf of bread, which can be eaten for two days.
One hundred copper coins for one silver coin, and ten silver coins for one gold coin. In other words, at the economic level of Locketown, one gold coin is almost equivalent to four hundred days' rations for a civilian.
Of course, this is just a word of bread. In fact, even inferior bread is not affordable for every civilian.
In this town, most of them are bartered, and the most used are copper coins, and silver coins are rarely seen. As for the gold coins, most people have never even seen them, and they only circulate among the nobility.
The gold coin, known as the Kinses, is a lap larger than the usual one-dollar coin, and almost twice as thick as the one-dollar coin. In the hand, it is heavy.
He thought to himself, "I just don't know if the gold here is the same thing as the gold on the earth." ”
He silently calculated in his heart, according to the time difference between the two worlds, the current earth is almost noon, so he activated the ring, wore it to the transit space, and then jumped back to the earth.
…………
"Shhhh
After a whirlwind, Chen Yi only felt a splitting headache, which was the sequelae of the crossing. Every time he travels from Earth to Transit Space, or back to Earth from Transit Space, he will be very uncomfortable.
And shuttling between the other world and the transit space, there is nothing at all.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, he will not easily wear back to Earth.
However, this time, the headache was much milder and quickly eased. He was a little surprised, "Could it be because the training has been effective and the physique has become stronger?" ”
He wasn't sure, because he had only been training for a few days.
"Forget it, let's find a way to sell the gold coins first."
He recalled, got his bearings, and walked out.
Half an hour later, he appeared in the manager's office of a jewelry store, drinking tea and waiting for the professional to be identified.
"I've never seen this kind of gold coin, sir, where did you get it?" It was the manager of the jewelry store who spoke, a middle-aged man who looked shrewd.
Chen Yi sipped his tea and said, "This is handed down from my family, and if I don't wait for the money, I don't want to sell it." As he spoke, he sighed, "It's a pity, I've seen it from an expert, it's not an antique, otherwise it's ......."
At this time, the person who certified the gold coin spoke, "It is gold of more than 97 percent purity." The total weight of the six pieces is 462 grams. ”
The manager nodded and said, "Then let's talk about the price." ”
And Chen Yi's heart that had been hanging was also put down instantly. It seems that the material composition of the two worlds is similar.
…………
Ten minutes later, Chen Yi walked out of the door of the jewelry store, looked up at the clear blue sky, and his heart stirred. More than a month of adventure has finally not been in vain. With the first harvest.
Six gold coins, sold for a total of 145,000 yuan, are now in his bank account.
According to his previous salary, he had to go without food or drink for more than three years to earn so much money. Now, it only took him more than a month to use a bag of salt that costs 2.5 yuan in exchange for it.
What an amazing profiteering it is.
And that's just the beginning.
With the first pot of gold, he can finally let go of his hands and feet to make big purchases, what he needs to use, and what he can trade.
