Chapter 176: The Gold Coin Exchange

David Mo didn't rest well, because Candace dangled in front of his eyes in his pajamas all night, and he couldn't help but glance at her twice, and her coquettish appearance at that time still made his heart throb.

After lunch the next day, the group took a horse-drawn carriage tour of the Dry Grass Town, although it is called Dry Grass, but everywhere flowers are in full bloom, lush with leaves, infinite vitality and vitality.

Almost all the merchant ships that came and went had to dock here for supplies, so the building industry was unusually developed, and one of the more prosperous businesses was the exchange of gold coins, as Flo once said.

Due to its strategic location, the gold coin exchange business here is extremely popular, and there is only one officially approved location on the Fire Island, but there are also many small merchants hiding their heads and tails on the streets.

There were so many people at the official location that they had been waiting in line for a long time was still far away, and a few women were bored in the carriage outside the gold exchange office, but there was nothing they could do but complain.

Finn and David Mo sat in the waiting room together, the water in the teacup had been changed several times, David Mo's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and Finn, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but scratch.

"What kind of broken shop is this?!I dare to say that it is an officially designated location, and at this level, it is better to go to the street to find those small merchants to exchange!" After speaking, he shook the teacup in his hand and motioned for the waiter to pour him tea.

David Mo didn't speak, staring at the longer and longer queue outside the glass window, he secretly estimated in his heart, according to this kind of efficiency, if he wants to get them, it is estimated that he will have to wait until the evening.

Just now, Fain also inquired with the staff here, business is not so hot every day, but recently there have been several giant beasts on the sea, and many ships have been damaged to varying degrees, so the number of ships coming to Fire Island for maintenance has increased suddenly, so there will be such a good business in the near future.

"Do you have to exchange the gold coins today?" The waiter who poured the water was a freckled boy with a freckled face, and there was something sneaky in his eyes, obviously not a simple inquiry.

David Mo didn't answer, because he had just seen the waiter talking to several customers, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the Holy Empire, it is nothing more than that there is something else to recommend.

However, the notice outside the hall of the gold coin exchange clearly states that all the acts of exchanging gold coins in other places are illegal, and if you are caught, you will be fined twice the amount of gold coins!

In this unfamiliar place, he didn't want any accidents, so he took Finn to this so-called officially designated place to trade.

But Finn was a little moved, after all, he had been waiting here for too long, and he had gradually lost his patience. So he looked up at the slightly shy waiter, and said with a light smile: "What do you say if you have to exchange it today?"

The waiter took advantage of the time to pour the tea, bent down and whispered: "If you want it today, the small one has another way to exchange it with the two masters, but the proportion is slightly lower......"

His words were quite decent, after all, if you want to be faster, it is normal for the proportion to be a little lower, Finn glanced at David Mo, wanting to see what his reaction was, but unfortunately it was not clear from his face whether he agreed or not.

The waiter also saw the relationship between the master and servant between the two people, and when he saw that the young nobleman did not react, he felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head and bent down slightly and prepared to leave, at this time, David Mo suddenly coughed lightly, and said lightly: "How low is the ratio?

Hearing his inquiry, the waiter's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly replied in a low voice: "A silver ticket of one hundred gold coins is exchanged for ninety-seven gold coins......

The ratio of the gold coin exchange office is one hundred gold coins for ninety-eight gold coins, so the price that this waiter said is relatively fair, David Mo pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "Then how are we going to get over? Could it be that the little brother took us there himself?"

The waiter shook his head, nodded and said, "Master, you are joking, the little one still has to stay here to work...... Go out and turn left at the second alley and walk in, there is an umbrella shop, you tell the aunt inside that it was introduced by Lovench, and she will naturally take you to the shop to exchange gold coins...... If there is nothing to do, the small one will retire first. ”

Finn waved his hand, signaling that he could leave, and then whispered to David Mo: "Master, if you continue to wait, I don't know what year and month it will take, why don't we try according to this little guy's words?"

David Mo considered the problem more thoughtfully than Finn, he shook his head and said: "This kind of wild way has always been unreliable, it doesn't matter if the proportion of gold coin exchange is lower, I am afraid that the scammer wants to set up, and then the people and money may be empty." ”

Fei En disagreed: "Sir, you are too careful, not Fern boasting, except for the old devil on this flame island, no one can really stop me." ”

is the so-called art master is bold, Finn's words seem a little reckless at first glance, but his cultivation level is genuine, and it is understandable to say this.

David Mo didn't speak, he wanted to continue to wait and see for a while, until after a long time, he found that there was actually a kind of member in this gold coin exchange office, who could cut the queue as he wanted, so he had to sigh helplessly, and smiled bitterly at Finn: "It seems that if you want to exchange gold coins, you can only try the waiter's way." ”

Handing over the number plate in his hand, the two of them left the noisy gold coin exchange office, and several women saw that they finally came out and chattered.

"Sir, you're out, a few of us are bored to death when we stay outside......" Martha took two steps forward and grumbled as she hugged David Mo's arm.

David Mo touched his nose, smelled the unique fragrance of the girl's body, and said helplessly: "There are too many people, there is no way to line up, and Finn and I came out to change other methods." ”

Seeing the sad expressions on the faces of the women, he smiled slightly, obviously knowing what they were thinking, so he smiled lightly at Sava and said, "You take a few of them around the city, and we will meet at the inn before dinner." ”

The middle-aged aunt has now learned to drive a carriage, and with her advanced cultivation, she entrusts several women to her, and David Mo has almost no worries.

Although Finn was reluctant to part with Sava, he also knew that the women were not interested in exchanging gold coins, so he had to stand aside and watch them leave.

The twin sisters were extremely reluctant, their two big watery eyes kept staring at David Mo, obviously not wanting to be separated from him, and Candace had no choice but to lower the curtains and stop the two of them from looking at him.

The attachment of these two little girls to themselves made David Mo feel a little embarrassed, since helping the two of them end the big feud, the surnames of the two little girls have gradually become cheerful, and the expression of their inner thoughts has become more and more obvious.

Without saying much, he and Finn followed what the young man had said, turned left and reached the second alley, and walked in about twenty or thirty paces, when they saw a very obscure umbrella shop. At the door of the shop sat an old woman with gray hair, with rough and shriveled hands, carefully holding an oil-paper umbrella.

When she saw someone coming, she immediately showed an old smile and said kindly: "Do the two guests want umbrellas? The old woman's craftsmanship is not bad, and she can assure you of the quality of these oil-paper umbrellas......

Finn waved his hand and interrupted, "The old man misunderstood, we are not here to buy oil-paper umbrellas...... It was Lofench, a young man at the gold exchange, who recommended us. ”

When the old woman heard that it was Lofench who introduced them, the smile on her face was even bigger, she stood up and hammered her somewhat rickety waist twice, nodded with a smile, and said, "That's the case, then you can come in with me......"

David Mo hesitated for a moment and followed, he didn't understand what kind of name this was for the time being, such a simple shop, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be a large amount of money.

The area of the shop is very small, behind it is a narrow corridor, three or five ** upper body men stand on both sides, after seeing the old woman bring people in, one of the opposite sides shouted: "There are guests!"

At the end of the corridor was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, in which a few tents were set up at random, and there was no sign of the strength to exchange large sums of gold coins here, and Finn's brow couldn't help but furrow.

More than a dozen big men walked out of the tent, and the old woman said to the buriest man standing in the middle: "These are the two merchants introduced by Lofench...... After speaking, she turned her head to David Mo and Finn and introduced: "This is my son, he is the boss here, specializing in exchanging gold coins, we have always been honest and trustworthy in business......

David Mo didn't speak, he glanced at the dozen or so big men around him, he always felt that this was not like doing business, but a bit of a posture of doing business without capital.

Finn didn't care so much, his face returned to his previous pride, and he frowned and said, "Your place is too simple, isn't it? The amount of gold we want to exchange is very large, can you cash it?"

The burly man clasped his hands in front of his chest, and snorted coldly: "In the entire Dry Grass City, there is no number that I can't exchange for Kulo, since I dare to do this business, I can make it up even if I smash the pot and sell iron...... Tell me, how many gold coins are you going to exchange?!"

Hearing his tone so affirmative, David Mo didn't say anything more, four silver tickets flashed in his hand, and said lightly: "This is the silver ticket of the Holy Imperial Bank, a total of 40,000 gold coins, according to your rule of one hundred to ninety-seven, all of them have been redeemed for me." ”

The burly man's eyes flashed with joy, he pointed to the silver ticket in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Give me the silver ticket for inspection, and after confirming that it is correct, we will give you the gold coin." ”

David Mo shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "Let me see your gold coins first, 40,000 gold coins is not a small amount, some things still have to be talked about." ”

The big man who called himself Kulo smiled disdainfully and sneered: "As far as you outsiders have a lot of flowers, we have always been innocent in business, but since you want to see the gold coins, I will show you!"

After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and said in a strange anger with a group of subordinates behind him: "Bring out the gold coins, let these outsiders see our strength, the people in the province don't believe us!" (To be continued.) )
