[0011 Uncle Sun and Sister Fang]

Wei Bao brought the bowl and had food, and he didn't have to greet everyone.

Except for Zhao Jinfeng and Xiao Cui, among the rest, even Wang Qiuya did not swallow her voraciously.

These are all very hungry. If they hadn't taken into consideration the three-point dignity, they would have wanted to pour their heads into the plate and eat them to enjoy themselves.

Such a meal can only appear in their dreams for Fan Lao Geda, Wang Zhihui, Fan Da Naomao, Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya, and Zheng Zhongfei.

Zheng Zhongfei's family is from a good place, but their family can't keep up with the Chinese New Year. And they cook their own dishes. How can the taste be compared with Shanhailou in Shanhaiwei?

This land, the rich peasant family in this year, was only barely next to the food and clothing line. Even the small landlord family can only be said to have just reached the food and clothing line.

Although there are more bones on the bones than meat, the fragrant and yellow flesh connected to the bones can make people want to bite them, chew them, and swallow them into their stomachs.

Even before coming, everyone felt a little sorry for Wei Bao to go to the restaurant to treat him, but everyone was looking forward to having a lot of food and drink.

Wei Bao drank two bowls of rice in one breath. The rice bowl here was quite large, and the two bowls of rice had reached Wei Bao's limit. He burped and put down the bowls and chopsticks with satisfaction.

Wei Bao was the first to finish eating. Seeing a group of people eating voraciously, how could everyone have the time to speak?

Zhao Jinfeng ate slowly, but she didn't actually eat much. Seeing Wei Bao finishing her meal, she put down her chopsticks after eating a bowl of rice, and she looked like a ladylike demeanor.

The mountains and seas are full of scenery, and the vast sea of ​​blue sky is projected by the sun, and the water is sparkling and beautiful.

Zhao Jinfeng's black hair had a few strands on her forehead, swaying gently in the wind, making Wei Bao's heart rippling.

Wei Bao thought to himself, a village chief, who is a wealthy squire, but he still belongs to the countryside, right?

He just came from a country landlord family, why is Zhao Jinfeng so elegant? He looks like a star, and it is rare.

Wei Bao also has a question: Zhao Jinfeng's father is Li Zheng from Jinshanli, why did Zhao Jinfeng live in Shanhaiwei?

Although he had questions in his mind, Wei Bao did not inquire. He was not a gossipy personality, and it was not suitable for him to ask him directly.

During the meal, Wei Bao noticed a beautiful woman passing by their small box, as if she was looking at them specifically. The woman's appearance was about the same level as Fan Xiaolin, slightly inferior to Wang Qiuya, and was about the same age as the two girls. However, her skin was particularly fair and tender, with a beautiful waist and buttocks, and her two chests were upright, so Wei Bao noticed it.

Wei Bao actually has a high standard for judging beauty, but it seems to be the cause and effect of fate. The place where Wei Bao was reborn is a prosperous place within a range, which made him encounter one after another.

The woman passed by for a moment and even had a look with Wei Bao. Wei Bao thought to herself that the girl from the Ming Dynasty was really beautiful.

"Thank you." Zhao Jinfeng's pink face turned slightly red. She still couldn't think of a suitable name to call Wei Bao.

"You're welcome, I'm honored to be able to enjoy all the meals for a meal." Wei Bao bowed slightly politely, looking graceful and gentlemanly. "Miss can call me Wei Bao directly in the future."

There should be something in the future? If you like it, you can call Brother Bao. Hehe.

Wei Bao changed his direction and was very satisfied after he finished speaking.

Zhao Jinfeng's face turned hot and she lowered her eyes. She didn't dare to look at Wei Bao's face. She was obviously a teenager, but for some reason, she was a little unnatural and said softly: "I should go back."

"Oh, I..." Wei Bao wanted to give it away, but I wonder if it would look frivolous. When he stood up, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak.

Zhao Jinfeng saw that Wei Bao was trying to see him off and said softly: "My home is nearby, I'll say goodbye." After saying that, she left. Xiao Cuidao said goodbye and hurriedly followed.

Wei Bao glanced at Zhao Jinfeng's leaving figure, turned around, and saw that there was nothing on the table, ten bowls of rice, ten cakes, and four plates of dishes, clean.

Even the plate was licked by Fan Lao Ge, Fan Daming, and Wang Zhihui. Several plates and bowls were clean as if they had been washed.

"Are you full? If you don't eat enough, please order something to eat." Wei Bao said.

"Enough is enough, eating it will be a sin." Old Fan said with a burp on his face with a flushed face.

Three black lines flashed across Wei Bao's forehead, so he wouldn't have used words that were as serious as committing evil, right?

Everyone said they were full, and Zheng Zhongfei thanked Wei Bao again. Not to mention others, even a family of middle-aged and rich peasants like Zheng Zhongfei's family had never eaten such a sumptuous meal. This was really open to eat!

Wei Bao smiled generously and said, "We are all neighbors in the countryside, so you don't need to be polite."

This made Zheng Zhongfei blush and ashamed, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Now, go buy some food and go back?" Wei Bao asked.

Everyone agreed to get up, and Fan Lao Geda and Wang Zhihui were muttering in their hearts, looking at the bowls and plates on the table reluctantly. They originally wanted to pack some, and, such a good dish, they should really drink some wine to be considered a meal without regrets!

When Wei Bao called the shopkeeper to check out, he ordered two pots of wine and was going to take it back for Wei Dakang to taste it. Thinking about the two pots of wine, he asked for three more pots of wine, a total of five pots. According to Wei Bao's temper, he wanted to give a jar of wine more simply, but the money seemed not enough, and then said, "Why don't you have chickens?"

Wei Bao noticed that the beauty who had just passed by their small box was standing behind the boss, guessing that it should be the boss's daughter.

"Some, the customer, you need another order of chickens, and you dare not make them in advance. There are three live chickens in the store. If you want them, make them now. Do you want roast chicken or stew them?" The shopkeeper was full of joy and it was rare to see such a generous customer.

"Well, let's have one," Wei Bao said: "Let's roast chicken. It's not convenient to bring it with you. I'll take it away. I'll pack two more servings of the sauce bones together. I'll pick it up later. Now I'll pay the money first. How much?"

"There is a total of 8 coins in silver. Our store exchanges two thousand coins for one or two silver patterns for silver, and it is a total of …" The shopkeeper's abacus was clattering quickly.

"I also asked you for 400 words. I erased the fraction of more than 30 words. I hope the guest will come often in the future." Before the boss finished speaking, the beauty tweaked the boss's abacus and smiled at Wei Baoyan.

What a good girl who knows how to do business. Wei Bao now understands why the business in this store is so good and has a smart shopkeeper.

Wei Bao looked at Fan Da Nao and asked with his eyes. Fan Da Nao had never been to the restaurant and looked confused. Zheng Zhong flew over and nodded to Wei Bao, meaning that it was almost the same, but he didn't calculate much.

Wei Bao smiled at the shopkeeper and the beautiful girl, "Okay."

The shopkeeper received one tael of silver from Wei Bao, found 400 copper coins, and four small coins were strung together.

Wei Bao put the four-small copper coins into his arms, but did not count them one by one. He was quite heroic, which made Fan Lao Gedao, Wang Zhihui, Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin, Fan Danaodang and others wanted to remind Wei Bao to count. If he had lost a few coins and came back to find him, he would not admit it.

The shopkeeper saw that Wei Bao was generous. Although he saw that Wei Bao was wearing a coarse cloth coat and patched, he could see the cotton jacket inside Wei Bao and the shiny leather boots on his feet at a glance. Although he could not tell Wei Bao's identity was from, he could conclude that Wei Bao was definitely not an ordinary farmer boy. He said enthusiastically: "Welcome guests often."

"When the receptionist comes to pick up the food, I will give the receptionist a bag of peanuts and fried broad beans, which are all signature dry goods in the shop." The girl added.

The boss seemed to feel a little painful, but he was still full of joy and didn't say anything.

Wei Bao smiled and said, "Thank you, boss. I'm here to Wei Bao, I don't know what the boss calls this lady?" He was very satisfied with the attitude of the shopkeeper. Not only is it good and cheap, but it is also sufficient in weight and the service is so thoughtful.

No matter how good the business was in the Ming Dynasty, it had no social status. The businessman was a merchant, but there was no merchant registered in the Ming Dynasty. They were all subscribed to other household registrations. Therefore, this is the first time that someone called a beauty a lady, and most people called her sister.

"My father is Sun Jiu, and everyone he knows is Uncle Jiu. My name is Sun Yuefang. My regular customers call me Sister Fang. You don't have to be polite." Sun Yuefang replied decently, her attitude was enthusiastic and generous, but not charming, which made Wei Bao secretly like, such a powerful female businessman!

"Uncle Jiu, Sister Fang, I'm very satisfied with this meal and will definitely come here often in the future." Wei Bao nodded with a smile.

The boss also smiled and nodded vigorously.

Sister Fang looked up and down at Wei Bao, her expression was similar to when Zhao Jinfeng first met Wei Bao, and they seemed to be very curious about Wei Bao.

When the crowd heard the ingredients Wei Bao ordered, they felt hungry again. Five pots of wine! One roasted chicken! Two pieces of sauce bone! One portion of peanuts! One portion of fried broad beans! The landlord's family doesn't have so many good ingredients to serve.

Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya's eyes never looked at Wei Bao's face. Even though Wang Qiuya did not stare at Wei Bao like Fan Xiaolin, she still looked at it from time to time. It seemed that Wei Bao's movements and expressions were worthy of fun.

The grain stack is nearby, and the price of noodles and rice is about the same as rice, 9 cents of silver per pound. With the help of everyone, Wei Bao spent two taels of silver after bargaining, bought 24 kilograms of noodles, and another one tael of silver, and bought 15 kilograms of corn. There were only 400 copper coins left in his arms.

During this process, Wei Bao was already very familiar with the prices in the Ming Dynasty. If he had just reached the current level, he would not have asked for the price first, but would have directly thought about selling those modern items. However, it was still very satisfying to know a partner like Wu Shien, and he did not feel that it had taken unjust effort.

Zheng Zhongfei also bought five kilograms of corn. Originally, Zheng Zhongfei didn't plan to buy food, mainly because the price of food is much higher than he expected. In addition, at the beginning, Fan Danaoda's cart was not empty and filled with firewood. But now, for some reason, seeing Wei Bao bought so much food, Zheng Zhongfei also bought it. It seemed that Wei Bao was carrying some magic power on him now, which made people want to follow his methods.

Wang Qiuya's family had already exchanged cabbage for a little noodles, and they had no money to buy it. Fan Lao Geda exchanged the 100-civilian copper coins worth five cents of silver for more than half a pound of noodles, which was similar to Wang Qiuya's family.

At this time, the people did not trust copper coins and were unwilling to keep them, especially since their family did not have any surplus grain.

Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, in August of the first year of Tianqi, he finished casting his father's year name "Taichang Tongbao", and then started casting Tianqi Tongbao.

In the second year of Tianqi, the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue was established, known as the "Qianfatang", and since then, the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of minting coins.

At this time, three minting centers were formed in the country, namely the Two Capitals and Sichuan. However, in the third year of Tianqi (1623 AD), the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was the tyrannical power, the eunuchs were in chaos in politics, and the abuse of casting occurred again, and local money bureaus appeared in large numbers.

Therefore, there are many versions of the apocalypse coins cast, with large differences and generally low value.

Qian Wenwen appeared in large quantities, including recording the ground, recording the bureau, recording the heavy content, etc. It only appeared in the Wanli period before, but the version was limited. The complex period of the Ming Dynasty's currency system began during the Tianqi period.

In order to make up for the financial deficit, the Tianqi Year still used increased the amount of minting to solve the problem.

Under such circumstances, the provincial money bureaus across the country have made bad money and made profits.

A large amount of light and inferior money was mixed with official money to make up the numbers, which was in sharp contrast with the tradition of making money in the early Ming Dynasty that strived to be refined and beautiful.

"Tianqi Tongbao" was first cast as a small flat coins, and it was cast as the top ten coins in July of the second year of Tianqi.

The copper coins on Wei Bao are inferior to the top ten coins.

"Your child is so expensive. Why do you buy so much food at one time? Eat a little and buy a little? Besides, keeping the money will be convenient for other places in the future." Fan Lao Geda couldn't help complaining.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "How difficult is silver? As long as you are willing to use your brain, you will not be short of it in the future."

puff.

Everyone laughed. Although no one said anything, they all said in their hearts: Wei Bao thought that after leaving luck, he would always have such a good thing? How could he meet someone like Boss Wu every time? What kind of calligraphy competition does he hold?

I have never heard of this kind of calligraphy competition, but this is just that the wealthy businessmen are in a panic.
