Borrow the day to change the day

() These people did not crash into this private room, but went to the next room, and the noise passed quickly.

When Zhong Jinwei came to this world, he instinctively felt that he was unfamiliar with the place, so he didn't have the urge to chase him out and see for himself.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei acted as if nothing had happened, the others didn't want to worry about it.The topic changed again, and it was inevitable to rethink the way to compliment Zhong Jinwei.

Soon, the two shop waiters took turns to serve the dishes.It's mainly meat, and some freshwater fish. There are no green vegetables, but there are pickles, peanuts and the like.A pot of Zhuangyuan wine that had been hot in advance was served first, and another pot of Nurhong was warmed on the stove in the corner of the private room, so that the guests could take it after drinking.

Everyone was also hungry. Now that the dishes were ready, Zhong Jinwei greeted them all, and they all started eating.

Everyone eats differently. Zhong Jinwei eats elegantly but at a very fast speed; Wang Peng ate big mouthfuls at the beginning, looking very hungry; Consciously, he began to eat too much; An Guiyi's eating was similar to Zhong Jinwei's, but not as fast as Zhong Jinwei's.Archie suffered the most. In the same period of time, she only took one bite when others ate three bites, and she had to eat three bites for the amount that others ate one bite.

After their stomachs were half full, several people began to push and change glasses to drink. Of course, Archie didn't drink, but poured wine for them, and drove the waiter who was supposed to pour wine to the door.

At first, An Guiyi didn't dare to ask Archie to pour the wine, but after seeing that Zhong Jinwei was not dissatisfied, he just let it go.

After a few rounds of wine, Zhong Jinwei talked more.He asked Gu Baichuan: "You have a statue of Yue Fei in the East Factory, and a memorial arch that will last forever, but it seems that your reputation is not very good."

Unexpectedly, Gu Baichuan didn't speak, Wang Peng spoke first, his voice matched Sun Chengzong's: "It's not because of the harmful sheep."

Gu Baichuan glared at him, and shouted in a low voice: "Slow down, you will die!" Wang Peng smiled embarrassingly, and stopped talking.

Gu Baichuan turned his head and explained to Zhong Jinwei: "The purpose of our Dongchang establishment is to relieve the emperor's worries, to learn from Yue Wumu, who is loyal to the country, and to serve the country wholeheartedly, so the emperor gave the memorial archway that will last forever There, let us always remember the purpose of the establishment of the East Factory. However, there are always a few of us who do evil outside and harm our reputation."

He paused at this point, looked outside, and lowered his voice again: "In addition, our Dongchang is mainly against those civil servants and generals, arresting their illegal activities. So our Dongchang's mistakes are magnified a hundred times by them to publicize , the reputation will naturally not be good.”

Oh, I see.But Zhong Jinwei still has doubts: "Then why did the current emperor give you a ban?"

"This, this, the little ones don't know anymore." Gu Baichuan vaguely knew the reason, but he couldn't say it in public, so he excused himself and said he didn't know.

Zhong Jinwei didn't make things difficult for them either: "Come on, drink."

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei did not bring up this topic anymore, Gu Baichuan was also relieved, and drank cooperatively.

But not long after drinking, the voice from the private room next door came again, and it tended to become louder and louder. There were men shouting and cursing, and there were also women's suppressed crying.

The sound insulation effect is not very good, and it's hard to drink here again.

When Wang Peng saw it, he put down his glass and wanted to go out.But he was stopped by Gu Baichuan.

Because Zhong Jinwei didn't say that he wanted to go and have a look, if Wang Peng passed and quarreled with other people, he might be in trouble if he didn't know the details of the other party.Although Dongchang has never been afraid of trouble, it is Zhong Jinwei who is talking now, so he cannot cause unnecessary trouble to him.

Gu Baichuan raised his voice and shouted to the door: "Xiao Er!"

The shop waiter who was waiting at the door heard the shout, quickly opened the curtain and came in: "What's your order, guest officer?"

"The next door is so noisy, how can I drink?"

The waiter hurriedly bowed to apologize, and then went to the next door to coordinate.

The shop waiter passed by for a long time before the voice from next door slowly subsided.It seems that the coordination was successful, but when the waiter came back, one side of the shop was blushing.

Zhong Jinwei probably got slapped when he saw the waiter in the shop like that.I don't know who is so arrogant.

Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost eaten, I asked the waiter to serve them again, which was regarded as indirect compensation.

After another round of eating, the two jugs of wine were all down. An Guiyi saw that the food was almost ready, and it took a little longer. He looked at the sky worriedly, and then said to Zhong Jinwei: "Young master, It's not too early in the sky, shall we go and see the house first? It will be difficult to enter the palace after locking the door."

Zhong Jinwei was so happy to eat that he almost forgot about it. He asked the shop waiter to check out when everyone had finished eating.

After a while, the shopkeeper came up in person, still holding a small scale.He accompanied him with a smile and said: "The guest officer paid ten taels of official silver in advance, this time it costs a total of one tael, four taels and six cents, and I need eight taels, five and four cents from you."

Gu Baichuan raised his hand, wanting to pat the table, but immediately worried that Zhong Jinwei was still sitting.He didn't take the picture, and his hand turned to point to the shopkeeper, and he shouted: "Is it a black shop, it's so expensive, why don't you bully me?"

The shopkeeper came up in person because he knew that there would be a misunderstanding, and he was afraid that the waiter in the shop would not explain clearly.

"The guest officer said that the business of a small shop is under the feet of the emperor, so how could it be a black shop."

"Then why is it so expensive?"

Zhong Jinwei didn't speak, but just watched the fun, as if it wasn't him who paid the bill, but Gu Baichuan.

"Guest officer, the Tartars have been besieging the city for so long, and the prices in the capital have doubled and gone up. Even the most basic daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, ginger and vinegar tea are several times more expensive than usual. Small shops are all living on meager profits. The guest officer understands."

This can be explained.Gu Baichuan turned his head to look at Zhong Jinwei, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Zhong Jinwei nodded, accepting the shopkeeper's explanation.

So, the shopkeeper began to change money.

He first took out two ingots of silver, and then said: "Guest officer, these two ingots of silver are also official silver, the color is the same as what you gave, the big one is eight taels, and this small piece of silver is five qian. official inspection."

Zhong Jinwei took it over to have a look. In fact, he couldn't tell the truth, so he pretended for a while, then nodded, forget it, just treat it as the same.

The shopkeeper waited for him to confirm, and then said: "Guest officer, you can weigh it to see if it meets the requirements."

Why is it so troublesome, isn't it just given in movies and TV shows?Zhong Jinwei couldn't help thinking.In fact, eating in ancient times was not troublesome, and it was settled with copper coins, which was also convenient.Whoever asked Zhong Jinwei to use silver would naturally cause trouble.

He waved his hand, saying forget it, don't weigh it.

The shopkeeper was very happy to see that he was so talkative. Then he took out another bunch of copper coins and said, "Here are forty copper coins. Please keep them safe."

Over there, Gu Baichuan reached out to take the copper coin first, looked at it, and then shouted: "The exchange ratio between this copper coin and silver seems to be wrong?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Guest officer, the store's exchange is based on the latest bank exchange rate. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

Gu Baichuan stared at the shopkeeper's face, but he didn't find any flaws.

When Zhong Jinwei saw him, he felt that it was too troublesome to eat with silver, and he still missed the convenience of paying in RMB in later generations.By the way, this, go back and think about it, and talk to the emperor.

After thinking of this, Zhong Jinwei stopped thinking deeply for the time being, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, we believe you this time, but if we go back and find that what you said is false, you can run away as a monk, but not a temple." Yes. You should understand!"

"No, no, the store operates with integrity!" The shopkeeper said repeatedly.

Zhong Jinwei took the copper coin from Gu Baichuan, weighed it, and felt that it was still a bit heavy, so he casually pushed the recovered silver tael and copper coin in front of Gu Baichuan, and said: "You two have worked hard, take this to drink first .”

Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng quickly declined, Zhong Jinwei said that there are many things that need your help later, if you don't accept it, it will be difficult to find you in the future.

Seeing this, the two of them had no choice but to accept it. Archie and An Guiyi were on the side but didn't speak.

At this time, the voice from the private room next door slowly sounded again.But everyone ignored them, packed up their things and left the door of the private room.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, a gust of cold wind leaked over, stirring up Zhong Jinwei's alcohol.Rice wine is like this. When you start to drink it, you don’t feel much, but after a while, the strength of the wine will come up. Some people who can drink dare to drink baijiu, that’s why they dare not drink rice wine.

At this time, the voices from the private room next door became more and more clear. There were unscrupulous male laughter, female cries with suppressed voices, and the sound of leather whips.

Zhong Jinwei's brain was hot at this time, mother, beating a woman in broad daylight is shameless.Thinking of this, he turned around and walked to the private room next door.
