God of Thunder
Chapter 19 Alligator (Part 1)
Lei Xingfeng said: How much is a catty?
The old shopkeeper looked at the young man in front of him. This was a slender young man with an immature face, but he had a strange sense of maturity. He said: One copper ring weighs one catty, and ten copper rings... Well, eleven catties, silver rings are also fine, and one silver ring is also eleven catties.
Lei Xingfeng knew that the money here is in decimal, ten copper rings are a silver ring, ten silver rings are a gold ring, and the coins in this continent are quite stable, ordinary people mostly use silver rings, mostly copper The ring is the main currency. Of course, most ordinary people still trade by barter.
Zhou Xin whispered: Brother Lei, I brought money...
Lei Xingfeng stopped him from talking. In Tailang Yezhai, he received a lot of gold rings, most of which were given to Lei Xingyao, but there were also a few bags of gold rings that were put into the reincarnation space, originally intended to be given to Lei Xingyao Yes, and then they forgot that the Golden Ring was nothing to them.
With his backhand, a leather bag appeared in Lei Xingfeng's hand. This bag was very beautifully made, light brown leather with an elastic leather cord at the mouth. A gold ring was placed on the counter, and with a flick of his wrist, the leather bag disappeared.
The old shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened. He is not an uninformed fisherman. He knows that only practitioners have similar techniques. When he looked at Lei Xingfeng again, his eyes were only respectful, and he was no longer arrogant. He said in surprise: It's gold Huan! This... no problem, a gold ring can buy a hundred and ten catties of rice.
Although Uncle Zhou is a fisherman, he is not stupid. He said: Old shopkeeper, you are selling too expensive.
The old shopkeeper remained unmoved. He was indeed selling for an expensive price. However, this is normal. He sold according to the normal ratio. In fact, the actual value of the gold ring is quite high. One gold ring can be exchanged for more than ten pieces in the market. Instead of silver rings, you can exchange for eleven silver rings, plus a few copper rings, because gold rings are easier to carry and are the favorite of big businessmen.
Okay, how much do you say?
Uncle Zhou said: One gold ring plus ten catties of rice.
The old shopkeeper didn't say much this time, and nodded simply: Okay, let's just say, a golden ring, one hundred and twenty catties of rice, how much do you buy?
Lei Xingfeng said: That's all. He pointed to the gold ring on the counter.
The old shopkeeper counted and said, Seven gold rings, 840 catties of rice, right?
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: That's right.
Zhou Xin was still counting with his fingers, but he still couldn't figure it out. Uncle Zhou patted him and said with a smile, Don't forget, you can't figure it out.
Lei Xingfeng said: Put the rice in the store first, and come get it when we leave.
The old shopkeeper nodded and said, Okay, I will send a guy to help you onto the ship.
When leaving, Uncle Zhou specially said: Old shopkeeper, you want to give us new rice. You don't need to take out the old rice. This is rice bought with Jinhuan.
The old shopkeeper said with a smile: Don't worry, I will give you the best rice!
As soon as he went out, Zhou Xin couldn't help but said: Brother Lei, where did you put your money bag? Why can't I see it!
Uncle Zhou knew a little more, so he asked a little cautiously: Brother Lei, are you a Lunshi?
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, Uncle, if I were Lunshi, would you ignore me? He knows the pressure a cultivator puts on ordinary people. To deal with Uncle Zhou and Zhou Xin, they can be regarded as his saviors, and there is no need for him to be arrogant.
Uncle Zhou said: Of course not, you, are you really a Lunshi? He still couldn't believe it.
Lei Xingfeng said: Well, really, but I want to stay here for a while, uncle, you won't drive me away, will you?
Zhou Xin opened his mouth wide, and after a while, he said pleasantly: Wow, Master Lun...you, you are really good, wow...
Uncle Zhou hurriedly pulled Zhou Xin,
Said: Xiao Xin, keep your voice down, don't shout... Hehe, Brother Lei, just stay here, hehe, I'm afraid that our place is simple and treats you slowly.
Ordinary people have the most contact with small wheel masters and hundred wheel masters. They are all called wheel masters to practitioners. As for real people, they cannot get in touch with them. They were already in awe.
Lei Xingfeng said: Xiao Xin, there is nothing to make a fuss about, don't you have a Lunshi here?
Zhou Xin said: Yes, yes, we have Lunshi here, and this water village is guarded by Lunshi, but they all live in the best house in the water village, and there are shopkeepers who worship them, so they won't be like us , need to go to the lake to live.”
Lei Xingfeng didn't want to get entangled in this topic, and said: What else do you want to buy? Hehe, I'm treating guests this time, just buy whatever you want.
Uncle Zhou said: I'll sell this load of dried fish, hehe, go back and exchange some salt.
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: Okay, let's go together. The three of them walked along the wooden street, and soon came to a fish shop, the price of dried fish was extremely cheap, a copper ring, four catties of dried fish, nearly four hundred For a catty of dried fish, less than a hundred copper rings, or nearly a gold ring, were exchanged for ten catties of coarse salt and three catties of fine salt at the fish shop, and the money was almost spent up.
They changed some cooking seasonings and some crock pots, Lei Xingfeng took the initiative to buy them because they didn't have enough money.
I bought a lot of things, including some underwear, bedding, and a fishing net. This is what Uncle Zhou has always wanted, but the price is too expensive. This time, Lei Xingfeng also paid for it. If there is a fishing net, the harvest It was completely different. They used to use a relatively thick fishing line with a string of hooks attached to it. They could not catch many fish, but Zhou Xin caught more fish in the water.
I bought some spirits at the market. Almost all the fishermen liked it, but the spirits were expensive. Most of the fishermen drank homemade rice wine. The spirits would only be changed when there were a lot of catches. Coming back at one o'clock, this time Lei Xingfeng bought two big jars of spirits in one go, both of which were 20 jin jars, two gold rings and one jar of wine.
Just these two jars of spirits made Uncle Zhou laugh from ear to ear. Usually, he would be very happy if he could exchange a catty of spirits. Spirits can not only entertain guests, but also drink by himself. Concocted medicinal wine can be said to be the treasure of fishermen.
According to Lei Xingfeng's temper, he even wanted to buy a new boat for Uncle Zhou, but Uncle Zhou refused no matter what. He already felt that such an expense was too much.
They were busy until the evening before the three returned to the boat to sort out the things they bought today. Uncle Zhou was cooking and preparing dinner at the bow of the boat.
The boat was parked on the wooden pier outside the market, and the fishermen on the row of small boats all came back at this time. The whole pier looked very lively, and there were many small vendors selling all kinds of snacks. Young children are running around on the pier. They often surround the small vendors, biting their fingers, looking at all kinds of snacks with greedy eyes. Of course, they have no money to buy them.
Among the small vendors, the most popular among children is the one that sells candy. Every child’s eyes are full of longing, but the price of candy is extremely expensive. A copper ring can buy a small bag, a few candies, and very few Some fishermen are willing to spend this money.
It's just that the children of fishermen often have their own methods. For example, one child uses the bright fish he caught by himself to exchange a small bag of sugar, so that all the other children drool.
Lei Xingfeng sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the bustling pier. At this moment, his heart was extremely peaceful.
A large wooden bucket of rice, a crock pot of boiled fish in white water, a pot of salted white shrimp, a small plate of dried salted radish, and three bowls of spirits.
The smell of wine wafted up, and he immediately seduced an old man in the boat next door. He smiled and said, Boss Zhou, drink... The so-called boss, compared with the boss of the boat, is given a surname to show respect, which means that a person who can control a boat boat people.
Uncle Zhou said: Boss Zhang, are you hungry? Haha, come and have a drink together! The fishermen have a good relationship with each other, and they are generous by nature, and they seldom show coyness.
Boss Zhang stepped over with an earthen pot and said, I hunted a mallard duck and stewed it for a long time. Wine, let out a sigh of relief, and praised: Good wine, hehe, Boss Zhou, you are rich, and you can drink such good wine.
The two are very familiar, Uncle Zhou said: Boss Zhang, what's the latest news? I just came back today.
Boss Zhang laughed and said, There is a piece of news. Hehe, you know that the fourth son of the Tian family went hunting crocodiles and dragon fish the day before yesterday. I heard that they invited a Lunshi. I don't know if it was successful.
Uncle Zhou was surprised and said: Crocodile? They must be too courageous. This thing is cruel. If you are not careful, the boat will be broken.
Lei Xingfeng asked curiously: What crocodile?
Uncle Zhou said: A very ferocious fish that can eat people!
Zhang Laodao: This little brother is very face-to-face, Boss Zhou, is this your relative?
Uncle Zhou responded vaguely, Lei Xingfeng had already said, let him conceal that he is a Lunshi, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, Boss Zhang laughed and said: Little brother doesn't seem to be from our place, crocodile is not. Famous. Then he began to brag about the power of the crocodile.
Crocodiles are somewhat similar to crocodiles, but their hind limbs have been turned into fins, their forelimbs have sharp claws, a long mouth, and blade-like teeth. They are about six meters long. An adult crocodile can easily Ordinary fishermen would never dare to provoke a crocodile. When they saw a crocodile, they would immediately run away.
