Chapter 79 Communication at the Tea Stall
"Mr. Wang, then this matter is settled. I will visit again at noon tomorrow."
The rich businessman surnamed Wang was also smiling: "Then please trouble Uncle Cheng, take this little thing as your car money, Uncle Cheng, don't refuse."
Cheng Zhen wanted to push it, but when he saw that it was actually a silver dollar, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Then I still have a worthless apprentice in my village, so I'll be disrespectful."
It wasn't that he didn't want to refuse, but the main reason was that the other party offered too much, which made him unable to bear it.
Silver dollar, also known as ocean, can be said to be the hard currency of this era.
As for copper, it is one level lower, but it can barely maintain its value.
The most deceitful thing is the ticket, that is, the reserve ticket, which has purchasing power, but the depreciation rate is ridiculously fast.
This thing is a pot left over from the last feudal dynasty, and it is still being issued by those powerful warlords.
If there is a great unification, it can save a wave of economy, but how can these warlords be willing to save the economy because they are fighting in chaos? There is a template, and you can print as many as you want, so this leads to the depreciation of the notes.
But generally speaking, the people at the bottom use reserve tickets plus copper coins. Things like ocean silver dollars are high-end currencies, and most people really can't afford them.
It is also the subtlety of the currency situation that makes Chen Xiyi feel that the warlords' melee in this world is not the same as the warlords' melee in his previous life. They seem to be the same, but they are actually different in essence.
"Uncle Cheng is out, I'll see you off" The rich businessman surnamed Wang naturally didn't care about a piece of ocean, so he got up and sent Cheng Zhen downstairs naturally.
Cheng Zhen hesitated to speak, but finally followed him downstairs.
"Xiao Er, pack." Chen Xiyi shouted loudly after seeing the two of them went downstairs.
When the waiter in the restaurant heard this, he naturally packed Chen Xiyi's untouched food and drinks into the food box quickly.
"Guest officer, take a look at the packing fee"
Chen Xiyi casually threw out a few coins: "Enough is enough."
"Enough, enough." The waiter said after sweeping the coins on the table into his pocket.
He doesn't know how much the price is. Anyway, he ate nearly fifty coppers for this meal, which is probably not cheap.
Fortunately, he dug out a lot of money from the fox grave bag.
Carrying the food box, he followed downstairs. With the ability of Qi Sensing combined with the "Book of Changes" method of controlling Qi, Chen Xiyi found Cheng Zhen very easily.
Cheng Zhen sat at a tea stall, ordered two bowls of tea, and seemed to be waiting for Chen Xiyi.
The other party seemed to have guessed that Chen Xiyi would come to him.
Chen Xiyi naturally sat down unceremoniously, and casually placed the food box on the table.
Cheng Zhen pushed a bowl of tea in front of Chen Xiyi: "Then thank you, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
The other party did not reject Chen Xiyi's kindness, but directly accepted it.
After Chen Xiyi took a sip of the tea, Cheng Zhen said, "I think your Excellency is far from human."
This Cheng Zhen is also a straightforward person. He doesn't have so many flirts to test, so he just asked directly.
"Well, you are not an ordinary person. I just came out and entered Guibao Land for the first time. If there is anything I don't know the rules, please ask Haihan." Chen Xiyi said cautiously.
"In today's world, there are no rules. It's not tolerant. It's nothing more than earning a living." Cheng Zhen couldn't help laughing at himself.
He also saw that Chen Xiyi was just a fledgling, perhaps a scholarly family with a little leisure time, but he was definitely not from these distant villages, or else with his appearance as a scholar, he must have known him.
"However, your Excellency is not staying at home in such a turmoil, why did you come here?" Cheng Zhen began to ask.
However, Chen Xiyi shook his head: "It's long gone. If the family is safe, how could it be possible to leave home? Later, I studied the "Book of Changes" for a period of time, and I had some experience. Unexpectedly, I met a fellow, so I wanted to visit him. .”
"I would be very grateful if I could give you some pointers from Mr. Zhuangzi." Chen Xiyi said, carefully took out five oceans and pressed them on Cheng Zhen's palm.
Cheng Zhen was startled. The five oceans was not a small amount to him. It was estimated that he was only two oceans for helping the master of the Wang family to read Feng Shui. This was the biggest order he received this year.
The previous piece of ocean was said to be the fare, but it was actually a deposit, and it is estimated that there will be another one at most in the future.
This man's shot is five yuan, which is enough to make his Zhuangzi feel better.
"Here, is there too much to spare, I am." Cheng Zhen is also a real person, and it is indeed a lot to rent five oceans for the night.
It is also because of his honesty and honesty that he can become the famous Feng Shui master in this town. Every household will come to him for problems.
"Not many, if possible, I'd like to borrow the books in the master's collection, and that's the end of it." Chen Xiyi didn't go to borrow the night, the real purpose was to look at the other party's books to supplement his own deficiencies.
Cheng Zhen was also silent. Most of the books in his collection were a series of books such as I Ching, spells, etc. The other party was obviously a person in this way, and he must have a better background than himself, so why should he look at his own book collection? ?
His collection of books is not a secret, but what if the other party does something wrong.
But when he thought that these five oceans would really make Zhuangzi's life much easier, he hesitated a bit.
Even though he is a well-known Fengshui master in ten miles and eight towns, it is actually impossible to say that he is invited out to do things every day, and generally the people who invite him are ordinary people, and the money is not much, which makes him quite embarrassed of.
Famous deserves to be famous, but his profession is still too biased.
"Forget it, it's just some books, and now almost no one is doing them. It's good for someone to take a look at those books and add some popularity to my books. I hope you don't dislike my humble collection of books." Cheng Zhenyi Thinking of his ineffective apprentice, he finally let go helplessly.
Based on his apprentice's attitude of fishing for three days and posting nets for two days, I'm afraid his lineage will be lost in his generation. If anyone is willing to watch it, let him watch it.
"Then I would like to thank you sir, and I hope you will give me guidance at that time." Chen Xiyi said with a smile when he heard this.
