Chapter 1150: Money
Liya was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little embarrassment: "This ...... Thirty copper coins a night, if you stay for a long time, you can also be cheap. β
She was really entangled, after all, it was brought over by Uncle Monet, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't make any money, but this small shop has not been inhabited by outsiders for a long time, but she has to sell some of the food she makes on weekdays, especially to those who go out to work, and she has to go to her own fields every day to farm, barely to maintain this laughing inn.
So thirty copper coins is really just a cost, because it will delay her a lot of time to take care of it.
After hearing this, Lu Yu's face was not very good.
Not because it's expensive, but because it's ...... He didn't know what that copper coin was, copper coin...... Naturally, it should be like a big child, but after all, it is a coin from another continent, and it is unknown what style, how much weight, and how it will be mixed with other metals.
In a nutshell...... He hadn't seen it.
"Well...... this" Lu Yu looked a little embarrassed, and said: "We came from other places, because our family suffered a military disaster, so we came here, but because we were in a hurry, this copper coin and something like that...... I didn't bring it, but the other currencies did bring some ......."
Liya was stunned again, and then said with a smile: "So, if you have a silver coin, you can stay for four nights, how about it?"
One silver coin for one hundred copper coins, this is the official pricing and will not change due to other things.
In this way, it is Liya who has made some more prices.
Lu Yu's face became sad again, and he said, "This...... Silver coins...... Ahem, in fact, I didn't bring it out. β
The corners of Liya's eyes twitched, and she wondered what kind of family you came from? While fleeing, you didn't even bring a silver coin, did you think it was too heavy or something? Or ...... People are just rich to that kind of state? Could it be that there is a rich man in his own shop?
So he said tentatively, "If it's a gold coin...... That's enough gold for you to live for a year!"
The corners of Lu Yu's eyes twitched again.
Depend on!
Is gold the currency of gold? Gold is a building material in its own continent, not currency at all!
Could it be that when you get here, it becomes currency......? It is really possible, after all, the two continents are not connected, and the minerals here should be different, and gold is a very precious mineral deposit, and it may be more suitable for coins.
Of course, Lu Yu didn't have gold coins, but he ...... There are gold bricks! A large gold brick of at least a few hundred catties!
It is no coincidence that he bought all the items in the South Pearl City Huajia Chamber of Commerce in one go, which naturally includes a lot of building materials, and gold is used as an excellent material for foundation steps or thresholds, and even rainproof eaves, which naturally accounts for a large proportion of them.
It's just that now Lu Yu is still not sure if the gold coins here are the same material as his own gold.
After all, when he first came to this world, he thought that Mithril was just a kind of silver, but later he realized that Mithril was much more advanced than silver, and that kind of thing was almost a perfect metal!
So now that he heard the gold coin, Lu Yu didn't get excited immediately, but said with a bitter face: "Gold coin...... In fact...... Actually, it was like this, because there was a steward in our house, and his hands and feet were very unclean, and when we fled, some of the other subordinates said that he had already secretly exchanged our gold coins, so ...... I don't know if the gold coins we have now are fake, if they are, then it will be a big trouble to spend them, so ...... We need to see what the other coins look like first, or else take them out...... It's a crime, not to mention shame. β
Liya was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was really a little pitiful, and at that moment of crisis, even the steward of her own family was betraying her, which was quite pitiful.
But as for what the gold coin looks like......
Liya gritted her teeth and said, "You guys wait for a while. β
Then he ran upstairs by himself, and went for a while before coming back, with a small package in his hand, which was placed in front of Lu Yu for a while before opening it, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and inside was a gold coin that looked beautiful.
Liya said: "That's what it looks like, the fineness should be good, there have been many counterfeit coins recently, all of which have added other things to the gold, they look like, and even the weight is the same to the touch, but there is a slight gap in the color, and if you can see this gap, there will be no problem, and you see ......"
As she spoke, she 'endured' and picked up the gold coin, and tapped it lightly on the table, her voice muffled.
And continued: "In fact, if you listen to the voice, you can hear it, if it is fake, the sound is generally very crisp. β
Lu Yu stretched out his hand and said, "Can you ...... Lend me a look?"
Liya was a little hesitant, but seeing that Lu Yu was a woman and a child, and it was brought by Uncle Monet, she gritted her teeth and put the gold coin in Lu Yu's hand.
Lu Yu put it in his hand, and his heart was happy.
Really...... It's just gold!
There seem to be some other metals added to it, but the amount is not much, it should only account for about 10%, it is supposed to keep the shape of this gold coin better.
To be honest, although the workmanship of this gold coin is a little worse, it looks really beautiful, maybe ...... That's the charm of wealth.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "I remember...... The subordinates of the family said that in fact, there is a way to test the gold coin. β
Liya wondered, "What else is there to do?"
"That's it. β
As he spoke, Lu Yu directly stuffed the gold coin into his mouth, and then bit it, naturally biting out a tooth mark on it.
"Look, there are tooth marks! It proves that Sister Liya's gold coin is real...... Belch...... Sister Liya, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so ugly? Are you sick?"
Of course, Liya's face was not good-looking, her body was trembling, and her heart was dripping blood.
But she could still control her emotions, but the gaze she looked at Lu Yu was no longer so kind.
Lu Yu was shocked, hurriedly handed the gold coin back and said, "Sister, don't worry, we won't ask for your gold coins, na, I'll return it to you now." β
Liya snatched the gold coin in an instant, and then wiped it vigorously on the placket of her clothes, even if she could wipe off Lu Yu's saliva, the tooth marks on it could not be erased no matter what.
Some wanted to cry, but Liya still held back, thinking that a child, he couldn't be angry with the other party, the most important thing is that he is also naΓ―ve, and when he hears a test method, he naturally has to use it.
Hurriedly put away the gold coins, and then asked puzzledly: "Since you know the method of inspection, why can't you be sure of the authenticity of your gold coins?"
Lu Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "No need, those gold coins can indeed be bitten, but they are fake, because the color is too different, I don't feel anything if I don't see the real one, and after seeing it, I just feel that our gold coins are too dark." β
Liya sighed and said, "That's a pity......"
Then I immediately remembered that if the other party's gold coins were all fake, and they didn't have copper and silver coins yet, didn't that mean ...... Are these two people actually out of money?!
His face immediately turned bitter.
But she immediately consoled herself and advised, "I heard...... Some well-made counterfeit coins actually have gold in them, but they are much less than normal, and the blacksmith can smelt the gold, and when the time comes, according to the amount, it can actually be exchanged for some money. β
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What...... Could it be that the gold itself ...... If it's not gold, it's worth a lot?"
"Of course! Gold is gold coins! The same weight of gold can be exchanged for gold coins of the same weight, this is a common principle on the mainland! I don't know how pampered you, the eldest young master, have been pampered since childhood, thinking that it must be to open your mouth and clothes to stretch out your hand, but you don't even know this kind of thing. β
Lu Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "This ...... I really don't know. β
He didn't know a lot of things! Or rather, he didn't know anything about this continent, but that didn't affect his knowledge of the vile places of these countries, what? the same weight of gold for the same weight of gold coins? about 10% of the other metals mixed in the gold coins...... Isn't it just in the process of replacement, and you have made a lot of money for nothing?
But none of this matters, as long as Lu Yu knows that gold can be used, it will be fine!
