Ruan Qing took Twenty-Seven to the shopping mall, and she specially chose a shopping mall with a corridor in the middle of the lobby.
The five-story high ceiling once again shocked the ancients.
Twenty-seven stood there looking up for a long time.
Ruan Qing did not rush him and stayed with him very patiently.
Twenty-seven turned his head and saw the smile on the corner of her mouth.
There was a vague feeling that Ruan Qing seemed to be able to get some kind of satisfaction from him. Although he didn't quite know what kind of strange fun this kind of satisfaction was.
This is because there was no such thing as Shuangwen in his time, so he did not understand that there was something called Shuangdian.
In short, Ruan Qing likes to see the ancients being shocked. Satisfied, she called him: "Let's go buy shoes first."
She took him to the sporting goods section.
Ruan Qing did not buy twenty-seven shoes as expensive as Zhao Hao's.
Ruan Qing paid the bill while Twenty-Seven watched from the side.
"Let's go." After paying, Ruan Qing said crisply.
He cut off the old world much more sharply than Ruan Qing imagined.
"Yes, we had something called Jiaozi at that time, but it was used by the government and was not widely recognized by the people." He said.
In fact, they are just a pair of very ordinary cloth shoes. When he takes business, there will be no marks on his clothes. Including the shoes on my feet, I bought them all at the most ordinary grocery store.
But in fact, apart from feeling sorry for the savings that he had not yet had time to spend, Twenty-Seven had no nostalgia for the old world.
She only bought him two pairs of ordinary shoes, one pair of sneakers and one pair of casual shoes. I also bought socks to go with it.
He even rubbed the banknotes with his fingers to feel the texture of the paper.
When he was in the hospital last night, Twenty-Seven saw Ruan Qing using that square, which he now knew was a mobile phone, to check out.
The Hall of the King of Hell has specialized experts who specialize in imitating various items. If necessary, they can simply pay these colleagues to do the work.
What kind of person is this? He says "imitation" as soon as he opens his mouth. Ruan Qing's mood was a little complicated.
Kill people who kill, and people who fake things fake.
"Paid." Ruan Qing shook his phone and said, "Electronic payment."
Twenty-seven glanced at the put away cloth shoes.
Twenty-seven took it and looked at it carefully. He actually knew how to lift it up to see through the light, which made Ruan Qing look at it with admiration.
He didn't understand how the phone could pay, but he heard the amount. Two pairs of shoes cost more than 1,000 yuan, equivalent to 600 to 700 yuan per pair.
In order not to leave any clues for people to follow, he was hunted down with revenge.
Twenty-seven followed her step by step, looking at the dazzling array of clothes and shoes in the store while listening to Ruan Qing telling him the history of currency development from bartering to shell coins to silk to copper coins.
"Here, this is our money now."
He came into this world with nothing, and these ordinary shoes will become one of the few connections between him and the old world.
She also rummaged through her bag. Although electronic payment is so common now, it is inevitable that there will be situations where the phone runs out of battery and there is no time to find a power bank, so she still puts some banknotes in her bag for emergencies.
She looked at the time and saw that it was still early and she wasn't very hungry: "Let's take a stroll first and I'll tell you about money."
Da Mu is famous as the most feared killer organization in the world. From princes and dignitaries to wealthy businessmen, there is no order they dare not take.
As one of the top ten gold medal killers in the Palace of Hell, counterfeiting is not Twenty-Seven's specialty, but he knows a thing or two.
As for the pair of black cloth shoes that he took off, Ruan Qing said, "Keep them as a souvenir."
In the Palace of the King of Hell, everyone performs his or her duties.
Ruan Qing thought for a long time, then gestured and said: "Understand it this way, you have one hundred taels of silver in the bank. You don't need to carry this money with you, you just put it in the bank. When you go to the store to buy something, you will directly report it to the bank. This way you don’t have to pay in cash in the store, otherwise you would have to bring more than 100 yuan with you, and then go to the bank with your signature. Document settlement."
From the bank to the bank, from handing over banknotes to banknotes.
After all, there was no exchange relationship between her and him like the one between her and Zhao Hao - the elder sister paid money, and the wolf-dog brother provided fresh bodies.
Twenty-seven consciously picked up two bags and followed her.
Ah, nowadays people really can’t live without mobile phones.
"This is our money now," she said. "A few years ago, we were still using this, and it can be used now, but it is basically not used much anymore. Because electronic payments have become popular."
He asked the clerk to put the new shoes into the box, and asked Twenty-seven to wear the new shoes directly.
But he also understood what Ruan Qing said.
"In short, that is the prototype of banknotes." Ruan Qing continued.
"I understand that." Twenty-seven said, "It's just credit."
"There is a hidden mark." He squinted his eyes, looked at it carefully, and said, "With such a complicated pattern, it would be difficult to imitate without this hidden mark."
Looking around, I found that the situation between a man and a woman was similar. Most of the time, the woman was walking in front and the man was carrying the bag.
Twenty-seven followed Ruan Qing and asked curiously: "Don't you have to pay cash?"
"No, no, no, I haven't finished yet. You guys used credit at that time, but you don't need it now." Ruan Qing found that she had to use her phone many times a day to do 27 science popularization.
Explaining electronic payment is a bit troublesome because it is too abstract for Twenty-Seven.
She shook her phone: "The things you did back then like signing documents, checking accounts, running errands, and settling payments are all done electronically now. As long as you have a mobile phone, all these things can be done in a few seconds. No need for anything. The human body has to run around to do things, but the development of network and computer technology allows all these things to be done instantly through the air through a mobile phone.”
"Just like I just swiped my phone at the square thing on the counter, and I can order takeout at home and pay when I order."
This matter was more abstract than others, and she was afraid that Twenty-seven wouldn't understand it.
Twenty-seven said: "Just like a person can fly to Guanghan Palace, a car can run without a horse. I don't care how it is done. In short, as long as the craftsmen have a way to do it, right."
"Yes, yes." Ruan Qing once again praised Twenty-Seven's thinking, "If you maintain this thinking mode, there will be nothing you can't accept." "So first of all, you have to be rich." Twenty-Seven thought for a moment, "Secondly , you need to have an "account" at the bank?"
Okay, I immediately thought of this.
Ruan Qing reminded him: "There is still one necessary condition."
Twenty-seven guessed it without her having to say anything: "Identity."
"So I'm telling you, you can't do it without an identity." Ruan Qing said, "Of course it's not impossible to survive being a gangster, but it will be very troublesome in every aspect. You will be seriously out of touch with society."
Twenty-seven nodded, realizing for the first time that "identity" is so important here.
Ruan Qing took Nian Qi to the underwear section and handed him over to the clerk: "Please help him measure his size and buy some pairs of underwear."
The clerk was a woman. She took a tape measure to measure Nianqi's waist and hips, and then helped him choose underwear of the right size.
Twenty-seven is very embarrassed. Although the clerk works to serve others, she is obviously also a woman from a good family. The women here are so bold.
Fortunately, Ruan Qing only waited aside and turned his head away considerately, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.
Ruan Qing also wanted to buy two new clothes for Nian Qi, but Nian Qi stopped her: "Zhao Hao's clothes are just right for me, so I don't have to spend any more money."
They were wandering around the mall, basically looking at clothes and shoes. Nian Qi has not yet formed an intuitive concept of prices, but he still remembers Ruan Qing saying how much the bus fare was on the way.
In comparison, clothes and shoes often cost hundreds or even thousands, which is not cheap.
Although I don’t know how much money Ruan Qing can earn, judging from his private car and his lover, it should be quite a lot. But she was a woman who worked hard to earn money to support herself. Twenty-seven felt that since she had ready-made clothes to wear, there was no need for her to waste money.
At this time, he thought of his savings stored in the Palace of Hell.
The King of Hell can wash his hands in a golden basin at the age of thirty, and he is only three years away from being free. Over the years, I have licked blood with my knife tip and exchanged my life for money. I have really accumulated a lot of wealth.
If you can take it with you through time, I think even if the silver is worthless, the gold can still be exchanged for a lot of money.
Then there would be no need to spend Ruan Qing's money. She would have to spend a lot of money to thank her for taking her in.
Choke!
"Let's go eat." Ruan Qing took Twenty-Seven to the upper level. It's all catering.
Standing on the escalator, Twenty-Seven praised: "Miss Ruan is very knowledgeable, but that's disrespectful."
Ruan Qing: "?"
"What you just told me is the knowledge of 'foodie'." Twenty-seven praised, "That is something that real scholars can study."
Ruan Qing laughed: "Just so so."
Although middle school history and college politics and economics also covered this aspect of knowledge, Ruan Qing was embarrassed to let Twenty-Seven know that most of the details in her knowledge in this area actually came from those fictional historical novels about time travel that she had read before.
To say this, it seemed that she had suddenly fallen down several levels.
Let's pretend for now.
Because at noon, even though it was the first time for Nianqi to eat modern chili peppers, he seemed to accept it well. Ruan Qing decided to take him to eat hot pot for dinner.
"Did you have this thing at that time?" she asked when the pot came up.
I felt that the hot pot should have appeared relatively late, but Twenty-Seven took a closer look and confirmed, "This is the Bo Xia Gong."
After describing it, the Bo Xia Gong should indeed be shabu shabu.
Ruan Qing: "Okay."
It seems that time travel stories cannot be trusted at all. Those protagonists traveled back in time to open hot pot restaurants and opened the eyes of the ancients. They are indeed obscene.
The problem is that Ruan Qing has read more than one book about the protagonist engaging in hot pot, which misled her.
The hot pot did not surprise Twenty-Seven. The fat beef, beef brain, and tender beef on the menu shocked him: "Can I buy beef at will?"
"Can you kill cows at will?"
"Aren't you going to jail for killing a cow?"
"People have already landed on the moon, but who still uses oxen to plow the fields? Horses no longer pull carts, so oxen naturally don't plow the fields." Ruan Qing likes to educate Twenty-Seven these things.
"There are mainly two types of cattle now, one is dairy cattle, which specializes in producing milk; the other is beef cattle, which specializes in eating meat. Ordinary cows may be seen in the countryside, but there are not many of them. It has to be a very rural countryside. It’s like my grandfather’s hometown.”
It still took time for the pot to heat up, so Ruan Qing took Nianqi's cell phone over and said, "I have a WeChat account that I can give you to use first."
Zhao Hao used this WeChat account to flirt.
Ruan Qing cleaned up the account, added his own larger account, and showed it to Twenty-Seven: "This is me."
She taught him how to pronounce and send text messages by voice: "After you become proficient in Pinyin, you can also use this input method."
Then she taught him how to scan the code and how to retrieve the QR code.
"This account does not have any card tied to it, but it can use the 'change' function. Here, this is it." She transferred a thousand yuan to the account, "I will transfer a thousand yuan to you, you use it first."
It turns out that in addition to making phone calls, mobile phones can also be used to communicate with people.
"Isn't that silent?" Twenty-seven said in surprise.
This is much better than flying pigeons to deliver letters or sending people to deliver letters.
Twenty-seven's mind was all about how to make good use of this thing if he was doing "business", but suddenly he realized that he was already far away from that old world.
Here, he has no "business" yet.
It's a very strange feeling, inexplicably, both relief and loss.
The beautiful woman across the table pointed at the boiling pot with her chopsticks, with a smile in her eyes: "I've left you a way out. If you can't stand it, just eat the non-spicy half."
The water vapor curled up, and her beautiful face looked a little unreal with a smile.
