Chapter 318 Go to the Bank to Exchange Coins

Zhang Xiaohua smiled, and then realized that the hot tea cup in her hand was already cold. The midday sun had already passed above her head, and her body sitting in the sun was gradually moving into the shadows.

That fleeting moment just now, how long has passed? !

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but frown. It felt like it was only a few breaths away. This feeling was really wonderful.

After carefully savoring the mysterious feeling, Zhang Xiaohua felt a clear understanding in his heart, which was indescribable. Then, he moved in his heart and secretly checked the cultivation of the Heart Sutra. Sure enough, the stagnant cultivation had already There are some signs of loosening, and it seems that the dawn of the sixth layer has been seen.

Zhang Xiaohua was very emotional. In the past, he had to work hard to absorb the energy from the Yuan Stone to advance a little bit. However, in just a few breaths, no matter how he absorbed the energy, he could no longer cultivate further. He pushed forward firmly. further. It seems that the cultivation methods in the middle stage of Qi refining are still very different from those in the early stage of Qi refining.

Thinking about the situation just now, Zhang Xiaohua was still a little scared. He wasn't sure whether this situation was lucky or unlucky. He just knew that if Ji Xiaohua had called him too late just now, maybe his consciousness would really be high. Flying beyond the sky.

Misfortune lies on which blessing depends;

Blessings come, disasters lie ahead!

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ji Xiaohua's childish and anxious face and felt deeply in her heart. She just came to Songning Town to inquire about the route home, but she met this child with the same name as herself, and so many things happened to her. The improvement of the state of mind and the enhancement of cultivation are real things. These are really inseparable from Ji Xiaohua.

But, what can I do for him?

Although he knows how to make elixirs, he only has a bunch of Bigu Pills, and there are no elixirs for living people or medicines to save people from diseases. Although he has practiced immortality, he only knows how to kill people. What can he do to help him? ?

Just as she was thinking about it, Ji Xiaohua called out again: "Master, are you okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "How could something happen? I'm fine, pretty good."

Immediately, he greeted again: "Man, please bring some snacks."

"Okay." The waiter in the distance responded cheerfully.

But I secretly thought: "This guy must be a fake young master. He didn't want to drink a cup of tea. He sat there all day long. Aren't he just afraid of eating more snacks? When he saw his companion coming, he quickly ordered one. Hehe, I’ve seen a lot of people like this.”

Zhang Xiaohua pointed to the stool and said: "Ji Xiaohua, sit down, I think you are exhausted. Drink some water first and have snacks later."

After saying that, he picked up the teapot and poured water for Ji Xiaohua.

Ji Xiaohua didn't dare to sit down, so she rushed to pour it herself. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "You'd better do it. I want to thank you for this glass of water."

Ji Xiaohua coyly said: "Master, you're welcome, don't you just want me to do things for you?"

Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand, patted his shoulder, asked him to sit down, put the poured tea in front of him, and said, "I have something else to thank you for."

"Ah?" Ji Xiaohua said in surprise: "Young master is so amazing, you actually already know?"

Zhang Xiaohua wondered: "What do I know?"

"Isn't this what the young master is talking about?" Ji Xiaohua said, carefully taking out a piece of white cloth from her arms.

"What is this?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.

"It turns out that the young master doesn't know."

"What do you know? How do I know? If you don't tell me, of course I don't know. Only if you tell me will I know!" Zhang Xiaohua was in a very good mood, chatting nonsense with Ji Xiaohua.

At this time, the waiter brought over the fragrant snacks. Zhang Xiaohua pointed at the snacks and said, "This is also a thank you for you. Eat it with ease."

Ji Xiaohua stuck out her tongue again, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Master Xie, you'd better take a look at this first.

"

Zhang Xiaohua took the white cloth and spread it out. In the upper right corner were three big characters "Songning Town", while in the lower left corner were "Pingyang City" and "Lu Town", and in the middle were several other place names. There are many lines drawn between these place names. Is this the route map from Songning Town to Lu Town and Pingyang City?

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's surprised look, Ji Xiaohua was very proud. While eating snacks, she said: "Master, the Pingyang City you mentioned is really not that far away. I found several people, and they all said It’s different, but this route is what most of them said, and it’s a coincidence that this Lu Town is where someone has been selling silk floss, so I found out.”

"Silk floss? Why didn't I know that Luzhen produces silk floss?"

"Hehe, Master, it's just fake silk."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Then, Ji Xiaohua said again: "Originally, I could come back earlier, but I thought that if I told you verbally, you might forget it after a while. And I wanted to draw one by myself, but I couldn't draw it. It was like a cat scratching, so I had no choice but to find a street artist to help paint it."

Then, he took a big bite of the crispy snack and said angrily: "That guy actually took advantage of the situation to increase the price. He charged me three cents, which is more expensive than the New Year paintings. Oh, young master, these three cents are relatively small and I paid for it myself." , Don’t worry about it, I just didn’t succeed in buying a horse, so I made your trip in vain, I’m sorry.”

Zhang Xiaohua listened with interest.

"Hey, if you pay for it yourself, why bother telling me the price of this white cloth? This kid is really thoughtful, much better than I was when I was a kid."

However, looking at the very detailed lines drawn on the white cloth, how could Zhang Xiaohua care about this little thought? It's smart to just do this little thing.

There were many lines on the white cloth, but Zhang Xiaohua only glanced at it and it was already clear in his chest and deeply imprinted in his mind, but he still carefully folded the white cloth and put it in his arms.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaohua smiled even brighter, as if her hard work had received the greatest reward.

After eating half of the snacks, Ji Xiaohua stopped eating. Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously: "It's already noon, do you have enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough. I'm small and have a small belly. I'm full already."

"Well, okay, when you're full, come with me to do some other things."

After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, she stood up to leave.

At this time, Ji Xiaohua asked softly: "Master, can I...can I pack the remaining snacks?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said repeatedly: "Yes, of course I can."

Ji Xiaohua quickly took out a very clean handkerchief from her arms, carefully wrapped the remaining snacks and put them in her arms.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and asked the waiter to pay the bill without saying anything.

After leaving the door, Ji Xiaohua asked: "Master, where should we go next?"

"Qianzhuang!"

Songning Town is different from Lu Town. It is close to the seaport and has extremely developed commerce. There are several banks alone. Zhang Xiaohua is not particular about it. Ji Xiaohua just found the nearest one.

This bank has a small appearance and little customer flow, so it suits Zhang Xiaohua's liking.

The bank is no different from other places. There are no waiters to serve, only a tall counter. This is Zhang Xiaohua's first time in such a place. Looking at Ji Xiaohua, she is also looking around, which must be her first time.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the solemn old man behind the counter, took out a banknote from his arms, and handed it over. The old man with a gray beard, with no expression on his face, reached out to take it. When he opened it and looked at it, he was surprised. Frown. Yes, most of the guests who come to the bank exchange larger amounts of silver for silver notes, which are easier to carry, or exchange bank notes for silver. Every time they go in and out, the bank has to tap, only the amount. It's a good deal only when it's bigger. Although this small bank is small in scale, most of the banknotes this old gentleman saw were in denominations of hundreds or thousands. How could there be banknotes like this one, only five taels? ! ! !

You think it's just five taels, that's fine. This banknote wasn't issued by my own bank!

It's just normal. If it were not his own bank note, the old gentleman could refuse to exchange it, but the bank that issued this bank note is still a large one. Although the bank's head office is far away, it has something to do with his own. Due to the alliance's relationship, I must exchange it for him, and I can't charge more taps!

The old man thought for a while, and went through some necessary procedures with Zhang Xiaohua as a matter of routine. He put down a silver ingot of five taels on the counter. Just as Zhang Xiaohua was about to speak, the old man said first: "Sir, please pay one ingot first." The cost of money.”

"One penny? Expenses?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "I give you the banknote and you give me the money. Why should I pay you the expenses?"

The old man was helpless. Seeing that there were not many customers in the bank, he patiently explained the details. After listening to the old man’s popular financial knowledge, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that this bank note is convenient to hold, but the price is not high. Small!

"Alas" Zhang Xiaohua sighed. There was a pile of gold in his wallet, but it was not suitable to take out those things now. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and be slaughtered by the bank!

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said to the old gentleman: "Old gentleman, just in time, I would like to exchange these five taels of silver into one cent for one cent, what do you think? By the way, there is no charge for this exchange."

The old gentleman looked sideways at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "You don't need this, so will your expenses come from these scattered coins?"

Zhang Xiaohua gave a thumbs up and said: "The old gentleman is smart, that's exactly what I mean."

The old gentleman was a little happy to be flattered by this straightforward flattery. A smile appeared on his lips and said: "I have been sitting at this counter for decades. I haven't seen anyone or anything? As soon as you were about to lift your feet, I knew you were going to What the hell."

Before Zhang Xiaohua could speak, Ji Xiaohua next to her burst into laughter.

Zhang Xiaohua turned around and rolled her eyes at Ji Xiaohua, but did not dare to say anything else, for fear that the old gentleman would say something nice again.

When the old man put the scattered silver on the counter, Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Old sir, if I exchange the silver for other shares, such as copper coins, don't I need to charge a fee?"

The old gentleman was stunned and said: "Whenever a banknote is exchanged for cash, whether it is silver or copper coins, there is only a one-time fee. Why does the guest ask this?"

Instantly, the old gentleman felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and shouted cheerfully: "Great, please exchange the five taels of silver into copper coins!"

Ps: There may be something wrong with the ratio of silver to copper coins in the next chapter, don’t mind.
