Chapter 103: This Money Can't Be Spent
"It's nothing, your Shin Pene speaks so well, how long have you been here?" asked the bartender with a smile, looking unusual.
"Oh, I have a few friends here, learn from them. "Arrogant and arrogant nonsense, a reason to prevaricate. He finally knew why others were noticing him.
Along the way, with Wantong unhindered mantra, wherever he goes, he understands any language as soon as he hears it, and he comes with his mouth open, without any pain in communication, but this has also developed a habit of him, that is, no matter what language others say, he will use the other party's language to dialogue. This habit naturally does not attract the attention of others in places where there are many people coming and going. But if he goes to a small place where outsiders are rare and the language is cold and difficult to understand, his ability is very amazing, not to mention that he also has an uncontroversial outsider face.
All along, except when riding the deer, Ao Zongheng wanted to keep a low profile, and before entering this kind of small circle, he not only put the decal in the wild to forage for food, but also put away the mage's badge. I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, people couldn't help but pay attention to themselves.
In gratitude to the bartender for the reminder, Ao Yue asked for another glass of wine and tipped an extra five Boums.
It's not a tip - it's more than the bartender's day's wages, and as it closes, the bartender thanked him and chatted with Aozong without saying a word.
The bartender himself drank, and unlike most people in the southern part of the empire, he preferred spirits, so he had his own personal treasure and poured a glass for Pride.
"Do you have all the money from Loren Magaga?" said the bartender.
According to the saying of Middle-earth, this is called "talking shallow and deep", if you are a local, ask me about the money on this outsider, and anyone will be alert. Although Ao Zongheng didn't take this danger to heart, he didn't understand how a bartender could ask such a question, which seemed to be normal.
However, the bartender did not continue, because there were still customers coming to the door at this time.
"Bartender, buy wine, do you still have some Suga wine?" shouted three men as they entered the tavern, the first wearing a beautiful fur hat, as soon as he entered.
In the continent of Tambro, drinking is very popular, and there is almost no one who does not drink. Because of this, although there are only three kinds of fermentation, distillation, and modulation in terms of brewing methods, almost every village and town or even farm will make its own wine, plus the differences in raw materials, water and soil, and process details, so if the wine on this continent is subdivided one by one, there should be millions or even tens of millions of kinds of wine.
However, due to the fact that there are too many wine names that are not conducive to circulation, people gradually unify some wine names with similar origins, the same raw materials, and similar processes. For example, Suga liquor is produced in the southern parts of the empire, and this is a relatively strong white distilled liquor. The inhabitants of the southern part of the empire actually preferred a softer fermented liquor, which was mainly sold to foreign tourists, such as Aozhuan, who drank many of them along the way.
"Yes, three glasses?" the bartender replied, putting away his glass.
"Give us three cups first, and then five barrels, and put them on the moat outside. ”
Casks are almost the only containers in the world for storing wine, and the largest casks are said to hold thousands of palms (the Imperial Standard Length and Volume Unit, i.e., the length of an adult man's palm, the actual length of a palm in the southern and north-central parts of the Empire is slightly different, and when used as a volumetric unit, it translates to eight and nine liters, respectively). Of course, the tavern is for retail, and it is impossible to use such a large wine barrel, but it generally has a volume of three or four palms. Just these three people, if they have to drink these five barrels of wine, unless they don't want to drink it violently, they can drink it for at least a month. And these people are not locals in appearance and clothing, and there are many houses nearby, so there is no need to carry a month's worth of wine away.
The only plausible explanation is that the wine was drunk by a brigade, and the three men were only responsible for coming over to buy the wine.
But there is no similar brigade within the scope of arrogance, can it be said that this brigade should camp and rest outside the circle?
But what does this have to do with arrogance, he just needs to make sure that these people are not in the same group as the bartender, and he wants to pay attention to himself. He watched the bartender run to the cellar to fetch the wine, so he simply got up and left, just in time to meet the three people who were walking to the bar, and the two sides passed by.
"These people have killed more than one. Arrogant made a judgment in an instant. However, he also concluded that the other party was not coming for him, because from beginning to end, the other party's aura did not change.
Count their luck, the guy who can't even restrain his murderous spirit, let alone three, three thousand is also a vegetable.
I had no dreams all night, and I had breakfast with my host early in the morning, and I took my leave.
It's said to be breakfast, but in fact, the breakfast here is a thin puree made of muddy potatoes and black beans, or overnight, with a little boiled pulp and reheated. Except for filling your stomach, you can't talk about any taste enjoyment. But slowly, Proud was able to adapt to the world's generally poor diet. Sometimes he even thought that if he recruited a hundred cooks from Middle-earth, he might be able to rule a country without a single soldier.
The small road is not far from the trench lane leading to Shan Zanman Sakai, although only two trench cars can be walked together, but this is the only official road between the two Sakai, and it is said that the official road between Shan Zanman and the other three adjacent Sakai is also like this, and on this road, there are no square carriages on the road, which shows how closed this single Zanman Sakai is.
But in the eyes of Aozhu, this Zanman Sakai is a good place, because the land is fertile but sparsely populated, the wilderness here is full of meadows and forests, rivers and lakes, and there are many things, if I want to avoid people in the ancient relics, this is indeed a good place.
This group of mountains and rivers is beautiful, and the breeze blowing in his face makes Ao Zongheng feel very good, so he simply doesn't go into the enclosure to settle down, and directly takes out a set of small tents that he forgot to buy from where he has been in the borrowing ring, and then casually packs up a few birds and beasts, makes a fire and barbecues, and then buys and stores wine along the road, and sleeps in the wild.
There is still an expectation in my heart, there are so many legends of ancient relics here, will I also touch it when I sleep in the wilderness?
However, after living in the wild for three nights in a row, not to mention the remnants coming to the door, there was not even a strange sound, and there were a lot of insects and beasts howling, but of course they couldn't prevent Ao Zongheng from sleeping.
After another day's walk, it should be Tongchasu, and Ao Zongheng estimated that the distance was reached, and the people here should have heard of the Shernashak family, so he decided not to sleep in the wild tonight, but to speed up and rush to Sengang Junji.
According to the imperial system, a Sakai land of tens of thousands of tsunaki at every turn was divided into a number of areas called 埴, and Sakai had Sakai Prefecture and 埴治. This Morigang is the administrative center of Morigang.
Hanji is not alone, there are several places around it, and tens of thousands of residents.
Although this Sengang is said to be a prison rule, the scale is really not a good shot, and the population around the forest in other places is normal to 20,000 or 30,000, and the population of this Mori Gang is said to be barely 7 or 8,000. But for Arrogant, it's a good thing to have fewer people.
But trouble is always indispensable, and this trouble made Ao Zongheng cry and laugh.
As a rule of thumb, Aozong inquired about the most famous tavern in the area, and soon found a tavern called Dakui Mountain, which comes from a large mountain near Sengang, and is said to be a place frequented by the creatures of the ancient relics.
Asking for news, which is the way Arrogant is most accustomed to, but it doesn't work at all tonight - the bartender here won't take his boum.
In the Tambro continent, almost all countries are minted in metals, and the three relatively rare and beautiful precious metals of gold, silver and copper are used, and in the circulation of precious metal currency, the value of the currency depends entirely on the content of precious metals in the currency.
Like the three countries of Loren Magaga, Miredang, and the Great Bogar Empire, the Boum of Loren Magaga and Miredang have the same value of Geelong, while the Great Bogar Empire's Ghazal copper coin is the highest, and the value of a Gazal copper coin is equivalent to one and a half times that of the first two, because the brass content in the Gazal copper coin is one and a half times that of theirs. This means that, in more formal occasions such as trade, ten ghazals can be equivalent to fifteen boums or geelongs.
Of course, the full equivalent exchange only exists in formal, or large-scale transactions, such as Aozong used to pay for food and lodging and wine, and it will definitely be a loss to spend Bum directly, asking for a glass of wine in Gazal, Aozong usually has to pay two Bum, and then receive a glass of wine and one or two zazas - a lower copper content, which is a small change coin, and five zaza can be exchanged for one ghazal. However, since it is a stone coin, it is almost impossible to circulate except within the empire.
And the bartender of the Dakuishan Tavern, the reason for not accepting Boum, is simply justified and helpless - Shan Zanman Sakai never accepts foreign currency, even if you are here for the first time, how did you get here all the way?
Of course, Ao Zongheng will not say that he has slept in the wilderness all the way, so saying this will only attract more strange eyes, and the other party will not accept his Boum because of this.
At this time, Ao Zongheng suddenly understood why a few days ago in that small circle, the bartender would ask if the money in his hand was all Loren Magaga's currency, and the lover wanted to remind him that he wanted to exchange some money and then go to Shan Zanman Sakai. It's a pity that this kindness was disturbed by a few travelers who came to buy alcohol in the middle of the night.
Now is not the time to blame anyone, there is money to spend, the current arrogance can be said to be penniless, of course, if he is willing to take out Luo Lun Dun and Luo Guojin as copper coins, there must be stores willing to accept it, but sleep will be willing to be such a fool?
Since you don't have any money, let's find some money, Aozong is not entangled at all, it's not that I want to trouble you, it's really the local rules of your place that invite disaster to yourself. Ao Zongheng thought as he strolled down the street and began to look for his target.
