Liya froze for a moment, and then said in a slightly embarrassing manner: "This... thirty copper coins a night, if you live for a long time, it can be cheaper."
She was really entangled. After all, Uncle Monet brought it over. According to reason, she shouldn’t make any money. However, this small shop has been without outsiders for a long time. Instead, she wants to sell some self-made food on weekdays. Sell it to those who go out to work, and have to farm in their own fields every day, barely able to maintain this laugh inn.
So thirty copper coins are really just a cost, because it will take her a lot of time to take care of and tidy up.
Lu Yu's face didn't look good after listening.
Not because it’s expensive, but because... He doesn’t know what that copper coin is, copper coin... Naturally it should look like a big son, but after all, it is a coin from another continent, what style, how much, and how to mix it with other metals , These are all unknowns.
In short... he hasn't seen it.
"Well..." Lu Yu looked a little embarrassed, and said, "We came from a different place. We came here because of a military disaster at home, but because we were in a hurry, there were no such things as copper coins... Yes, other currencies have brought some... ”
Liya was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "So, a silver coin can allow you to stay for four nights, how about it?"
One silver coin is exchanged for one hundred copper coins. This is the official price and will not change because of other things.
Counting this, Liya gave some prices.
Lu Yu's expression turned sad again, and he said, "This...for the silver coin...cough cough, it was actually not brought out."
Liya's eyes twitched, wondering what kind of family do you come from? While fleeing, he didn't even bring silver coins? Is it too heavy or something? Or to say... People are wealthy to that level? Could it be that a rich man came to his shop
So he tentatively said: "If it's a gold coin... That one gold coin is enough for you to live for a year!"
The corners of Lu Yu's eyes twitched again.
by!
gold? Is it gold currency? Gold is a building material in its own continent, it is not currency at all!
Is it possible that it becomes currency when it gets here? Hmm... It's really not sure. After all, the two continents are not connected, and the minerals here should be different. Maybe gold is a very precious mineral, and maybe it's more suitable for making coins.
Of course Lu Yu doesn't have gold coins, but he... has gold bricks! A big golden brick of at least a few hundred catties!
It is not a coincidence. He bought all the items in the South Pearl City Huajia Chamber of Commerce in one breath. Naturally, it also includes a lot of building materials. The gold is used as the foundation steps or thresholds, and even the rainproof eaves. Good materials naturally account for a large proportion of them.
It's just that now Lu Yu is still not sure whether the gold coins here are the same material as his own gold.
After all, when he first came to this world, he thought that Mithril was just a type of silver, but later discovered that Mithril was much higher than silver, and that kind of thing was almost a perfect metal!
So now when he heard the gold coin, Lu Yu didn't get excited immediately, but said bitterly, "Golden coin... Actually... it is actually like this, because there is a steward in our house with very dirty hands and feet. When we fled, Some other people said that he had already secretly exchanged our gold coins, so... I don’t know if the gold coins we have now are fake or not. If it is fake, then spending it out will cause a lot of trouble. So... we need to take a look at what other gold coins look like, or take them out... Shameful, it's a crime instead."
Liya was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was really pitiful. At that moment of crisis, even the steward of her own house was betraying her, which was quite pitiful.
But as for what the gold coin looks like...
Liya gritted her teeth and said, "Wait for a while."
Then I ran upstairs by myself and came back after going for a long time. There was a small package in my hand, which was opened in front of Lu Yu for a while. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. Inside was a beautiful looking gold coin. .
Liya said: "It's like this. The color is better. Recently, there are many counterfeit coins that have other things added to gold. They look like, and even the weight to the touch is the same, but there is a slight difference in color. If you can see this gap, there will be no problems, and you see..."
As she said, she took up the gold coin'reluctantly' and tapped it lightly on the table, her voice dulling.
And continued: "In fact, you can hear the sound if you listen to it. If it is fake, the sound is generally very crisp."
Lu Yu stretched out his hand and said, "Can you... lend me a look?"
Liya hesitated, but seeing that Lu Yu was a woman and a child, and Uncle Monet had brought it, she gritted her teeth and put the gold coin in Lu Yu's hand.
Lu Yu put it in his hand and felt joy in his heart.
Sure enough... it's just gold!
It seems that some other metals have been added in it, but the amount is not large, it should only account for about 10%, and it should be to keep the shape of the gold coin better.
To be honest, although the workmanship of this gold coin is a bit poor, it looks really beautiful. Maybe... This is the charm of wealth.
Lu Yu chuckled and said, "I remember... the servants at home said that there is actually another way to check gold coins."
Liya was puzzled: "Is there any other way?"
"That's it."
With that said, Lu Yu put the gold coin directly into his mouth, then bit it, and naturally bit out a tooth mark on it.
"Look, there are tooth marks! It proves that your gold coin, Sister Liya, is real... Uh... Sister Liya, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly suddenly? Is it sick?"
Liya's face was of course unsightly, her body was trembling, and her heart was bleeding.
But she could still control her emotions, but the gaze she looked at Lu Yu was no longer so kind.
Lu Yu was shocked, and hurriedly handed the gold coin back and said, "Sister, don't worry, we won't want your gold coin. Now, we will return it to you."
Liya grabbed the gold coin in an instant, and then wiped it hard on her lap. Even if it could wipe off Lu Yu's saliva, the tooth mark on it could not be wiped off anyway.
Some wanted to cry, Liya still held back, thinking that a child could not get angry with the other party. The most important thing is that he is also naive. Hearing a method of testing, she naturally needs to use it.
He hurriedly collected the gold coins, and then asked inexplicably: "Since you know the method of inspection, why can't you be sure of the authenticity of your gold coins?"
Lu Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "No, those gold coins can indeed be bitten, but they are fake, because the color is so different. If you don't see it, you don't feel anything. After seeing it, you just feel that Our gold coins are too dark."
Liya sighed and said, "That's really a pity..."
Then I immediately remembered that if the other party’s gold coins are all fake, and they don’t have copper and silver coins yet, doesn’t that mean... these two people actually have no money? !
His face immediately became bitter.
But she immediately comforted herself and suggested: "I heard... Some well-made counterfeit coins actually contain gold in them, but they are much less than normal. The smithy can smelt the gold. When the time comes In terms of weight, it can actually be exchanged for some money."
Lu Yu was taken aback and asked, "Why... Is it that gold itself... is not a gold coin, is it worth money?"
"Of course! Gold is gold coins! The same weight of gold can be exchanged for the same weight of gold coins. This is a common principle on the mainland! I don't know how you, the young master, has been spoiled since childhood. Come to reach out, you don’t even know this kind of thing."
Lu Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "This... I really don't know."
There are so many things he doesn't know! In other words, he doesn't know anything about this continent, but this doesn't prevent him from knowing the despicable places of these countries, what? Exchange the same weight of gold for the same weight of gold coins? Then about 10% of the other metals mixed in the gold coins... Isn't it just being replaced, just making 10% for nothing
But it doesn't matter anymore. As long as Lu Yu knows that gold can be used, it would be better!
