Chapter 936: It’s a Once in a Lifetime Opportunity (First Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

Lao Mo continued, "Medium-sized silver coins are the salaries of high-ranking officials in the royal city here."

"Ordinary people have only seen small silver coins at most, and medium-sized silver coins have never been seen!"

"There are no medium-sized silver coins circulating on the market."

"Miss, you received a medium-sized silver coin on your first day here, you are really lucky!"

"Because this kind of thing is hard to come by!"

After saying this, Lao Mo put the money box in Xia Chujian's hand and said, "Then I'll trouble you, girl."

Xia Chujian smiled and nodded, and helped Lao Mo collect money on the side.

There are many people queuing in front of Lao Mo's butcher shop. Usually, Lao Mo is the only one who sells meat and collects money.

He has a very accurate hand. He cuts the meat directly with a knife according to the amount of meat the customer wants. Most of the time, he doesn't need to weigh it, and the weight is accurate.

Then he puts the cut meat on the hanging scale for verification, and then collects money according to the weight.

Xia Chujian collects money very neatly, without any assistance, and almost without thinking, he can write down the amount of money subconsciously.

The two cooperated well, and the people queuing in front of the butcher shop left one by one with their meat.

Not long after, a man in shorts and with his arms open handed Xia Chujian a handful of Xijuan coins with a smile, and then said to Lao Mo: "Lao Mo, give me two pounds of grass pork!"

One pound of grass pork is ten Xijuan coins, and two pounds is twenty Xijuan coins.

But Xia Chujian looked at the Xijuan coins in her hand and found that there were only eleven, a full nine less.

If there were only one or two less, she could still turn a blind eye, but nine less was too outrageous.

You can't just fleece the sheep like this!

Xia Chujian shook her head at Lao Mo, and showed the money in her hand to Lao Mo, indicating that the amount was insufficient.

When the man saw it, he immediately put his hands on his waist and said fiercely: "I clearly gave twenty Xijuan coins!"

"What's wrong with you, girl, you are greedy for my money in front of me!"

Xia Chujian was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished she could shoot this guy with a volley of bullets!

Lao Mo's smiling face suddenly darkened, and he slammed his short and thick machete onto the chopping board, and shouted at the man: "Get lost! I, Lao Mo, will not do business with you from now on!"

"I will not sell you my meat anymore!"

Xia Chujian hurriedly returned the eleven Xijuan to the man.

The man was also angry and said to Lao Mo: "Lao Mo, I am your old customer!"

"There are so many butcher shops in the whole royal city, and I only buy meat from you. Is this how you treat us, your old customers for many years?!"

Lao Mo sneered and said: "Thank you! You only buy meat from me, isn't it because you can get a bigger bargain from me?!"

"You pay less every time you come! Every time you buy meat, I lose money!"

"From now on, go to whichever shop you like!"

"I won't serve you anymore!"

"Get lost!"

The man's face turned red and white after being scolded by Lao Mo.

He looked back at the crowd around him, and wanted to find someone to support him.

As a result, those people pointed at him and laughed at him.

Someone said: "Lao Qian is just like that. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't take advantage of others!"

"That's right! Lao Mo is kind-hearted and easy to talk to. Otherwise... I would have asked him to leave long ago!"

"Everyone knows that the meat in Lao Mo's butcher shop is the freshest and the best!"

"The price is fair!"

"That's right! You all know that the meat in Lao Mo's butcher shop is never kept overnight."

"The unsold meat is directly given to the poor who are sick and can't afford meat, but are still greedy for meat..."

"Lao Mo is a kind-hearted person!"

"It really makes Lao Mo angry to make a kind-hearted person so angry!"

"That's right! Who asked Lao Qian to mess with someone else, but he had to mess with the girl!"

"... He said that the girl stole money. If he said it was my girl, I would have chopped him with a knife!"

Everyone talked a lot, and the man left in disgrace.

Xia Chujian pricked up his ears and listened attentively to everyone's gossip. His understanding of Lao Mo gradually became richer.

After this incident, the customers in the queue never made such a fuss again.

Lao Mo's hands were accurate, and Xia Chujian collected money quickly. The two cooperated and soon all the meat on the chopping board was sold out.

After half a day, Lao Mo found that the business was surprisingly good today. Not only was there no leftovers, but even the leftovers were bought.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and was in a very good mood.

He was about to let Xia Chujian go in first so that he could clean up the meat stall, but he saw a boy of eleven or twelve years old running over.

He looked at Lao Mo's bare meat stall and said disappointedly: "Uncle Mo, do you have any leftover meat today? Scraps are fine!"

"My mother is sick, so I just want to drink some meat soup..."

Lao Mo shook his head in embarrassment and said: "Unfortunately today, even the scraps are sold out."

The boy stared at the chopping board with wide eyes and suddenly said: "...Can you let me scrape your chopping board, even some meat scraps are fine..."

Lao Mo said angrily: "What nonsense!"

"My chopping board is made of iron crosswood! No knife can chop it!"

"Don't say meat scraps, there won't even be a little bit of meat!"

The boy pursed his lips and was about to cry.

But Lao Mo turned around and waved to Xia Chujian, asking her to come over, took out ten tin coins from the money box, handed them to the boy, and said: "Xiaopeng, take it to the stall over there and buy a pound of grass pork for your mother, so that you can have more meals when you go back!"

The young man named Xiaopeng was overjoyed. He held ten tin coins and bowed to Lao Mo, saying repeatedly: "Thank you, Uncle Mo! Thank you, Uncle Mo!"

"When I make money, I will definitely pay you back!"

Then he turned around and ran to another meat stall to buy meat.

Xia Chujian saw it and had a better understanding of Lao Mo.

Lao Mo then began to clean up the chopping board.

He pulled down the baffles around the chopping board, and the entire meat stall was immediately closed, completely separated from the street outside.

Lao Mo took Xia Chujian back to his room on the second floor at the back.

Xia Chujian gave him the money box and asked him to count it.

Lao Mo put the money box aside nonchalantly and said: "Don't be so polite."

"I'm at ease with you doing it, no need to count it."

Xia Chujian smiled and didn't insist.

Anyway, she was collecting money under Lao Mo's nose, and it was impossible for him to do anything, so it didn't matter if Lao Mo didn't count it.

Lao Mo said, "You came to Wangcheng today, is there something going on?"

"Where are A Ce and Xiao Mo? Are they all right?"

Xia Chujian felt that she had a lot to say to Lao Mo.

It was too tiring to just rely on her hands to gesture.

She finally gestured to Lao Mo and asked if there was anything here to write on.

Lao Mo looked for a long time before he realized that Xia Chujian wanted something to write on.

He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I rarely write, and there is nothing to write on here."

"How about this, I'll take you to lunch early today, and then go to the grocery street and buy you a writing board, an inkstone pen and a small eraser, so you can write."

Xia Chujian nodded happily.

Great!

With a small slate and an inkstone pen, she can write.

……

Lao Mo went to the inner room to change clothes and came out, taking Xia Chujian away from the street where the meat was sold, walked three streets forward, and came to a restaurant street near the central area of ​​Wangcheng.

The food street can actually be considered as a place adjacent to the North District and the Central District.

Because its north side borders the North District.

On the east side, half of the place is only separated from the Central District where the Black Tower is located by one street.

Xia Chujian followed Lao Mo curiously and looked at this food street.

There are all kinds of restaurants on both sides of the street here.

There are high-end restaurants with large and luxurious storefronts. People who come here are either rich or noble, and almost never come alone.

They often come here to eat with coachmen or drivers, as well as some subordinates and servants.

So these places have a side door leading to the parking lot at the back.

Parked there are carriages pulled by tall horses, or a few cars.

Xia Chujian could only see a clue from the half-open door.

Lao Mo introduced her and said, "Have you seen those cars?"

"No matter how rich ordinary people are, they can't buy cars. Only officers of the Royal City Legion and senior officials under the Royal City Lord can buy cars."

Xia Chujian was very curious.

Cars are a symbol of privilege here.

If there are cars, are there gasoline?

Xia Chujian didn't know how to gesture gasoline. After trying for a long time, Lao Mo didn't understand.

She had to give up.

But Lao Mo later talked about this matter himself.

He said: "I heard that those cars were shipped from far away."

"A special ore is also needed to make the power system."

"The Black Tower in the Royal City has a special energy department that controls this special ore."

"So ordinary people, even if they can find a way to buy a car, can't drive it without that special ore."

"This special ore is only supplied to high-ranking officers of the legion and high-ranking officers under the lord of the country in the Royal City."

"So only they can drive it."

Xia Chujian nodded, thinking that if she had the chance, she would also check what this special ore is.

Why do cars here not use gasoline, but only use a special ore as a power system...

As she walked along, she also saw mid-range restaurants with their own flavors.

Most of them have a medium-sized storefront with four or five tables for dining.

Then there are very small restaurants, which are so small that they can't put any tables and chairs. They can only take out, or put a few tables and chairs in the open space at the door for people to sit and eat.

Lao Mo took Xia Chujian to such a very small restaurant.

It was run by a couple.

The shop was where the dishes were cooked. There was a pergola at the door, and a small dining table was placed under the pergola.

Lao Mo walked over and said with a smile: "Lao Jin, you see, no one will take care of your business if I don't come!"

The restaurant owner named Lao Jin laughed and scolded: "Get lost! If you don't come, my business will be better!"

Lao Mo laughed and said: "Don't pretend to be rich! Who are we to each other!"

Then he waved to Xia Chujian and said: "Come, meet Lao Jin."

"Lao Jin, this is my daughter's friend!"

Lao Jin said: "So you are Xiao Mo's friend! No problem, I will pay for your meal today."
