Chapter 10 The rich and generous black bear spirit(1/2)

Think like this.

Ning He chose a relatively good route on the catalog map and headed towards the nearest Lingcheng direction first.

Lingcheng is six hundred miles away from Liangcheng and is a large city on the way to Wujiang.

But after all, this map is a record of the previous dynasty, and it has a history of several decades.

As a result, Ning He did not use his spiritual consciousness, but simply relied on the map marks to walk, only to realize that these roads had now become a wilderness filled with weeds and sentient beings.

I can only occasionally see a few traders or ordinary people who also follow the old pictures.

So early in the morning on the 4th.

Ning He wandered for five hundred miles before embarking on the official official road and arriving at the boundary of Lingcheng.

Walk ten miles further.

Passing through the boundary of Wan County in Lingcheng.

Ning He, who had been sleeping outdoors for a night, stopped when he smelled the aroma of the food, approached nearby Wan County, chose a breakfast shop on the edge of the county, and ordered a bowl of millet soup and porridge.

Enjoy the light aroma of porridge and rice at this moment.

Ning He couldn't help but weigh the money bag in his pocket. In the past few days, he had saved a lot of money because he didn't pass through populated areas.

In addition, the tea stall has been open for more than half a month, and it has been well managed by myself.

Now, in addition to the small pieces of silver that were contracted, there are still 629 copper coins.

If things continue like this, my tea stall can earn almost two taels of silver a month.

The monthly salary of an ordinary catcher in the Wu Dynasty is only so much.

It just seems quite profitable, comparable to the iron rice bowl of the Wu Dynasty.

In fact, there is no charge for water, tea, and stalls, so there is no cost.

Otherwise, for a single round of tea, choose a similar tea in the county, and give a sufficient amount. Instead of just adding one or two pieces of tea foam, a bowl will cost more than one penny.

It is also troublesome to go to the mountains and forests to find a clean stream every day, or to go to a village a few miles away to fetch water.

In addition, in the wilderness, in case of robbery by jackals, tigers, leopards and bandits.

The risk is great.

Ning He also came across this trip and discovered that outdoor tea stalls in ancient times were not that simple.

And wait for the millet porridge to be finished.

Ning He looked at the price marked on the store and took out two coins.

This porridge money is the same as my own tea money.

Walk towards Wan County again.

Ning He looked at the bank on this street.

A bag of copper coins in my fist is a bit too much.

Just take 500 Wen and exchange it for half a tael of silver at the official's house, so it's easier to carry.

Banks in various places are opened by the government. There is no handling fee for exchanging gold and silver there, which makes it convenient for some people to exchange copper plates into gold and silver that are easier to carry.

But if you simply save money or keep property, you need to pay a certain percentage of storage fees based on the value of the items.

Similar to the 'cai Fang' in the Tang Dynasty.

This is part of the reason why some high-ranking officials in ancient times liked to keep their money at home.

Ning He knew a lot about the Wu Dynasty through his travel notes.

Wait until you enter the bank.

Ning He looked at the three pawn shop-like cabinets inside and chose to walk over to the left.

When the clerk in the store saw the customer coming in, he also smiled and greeted through the solid wood fence: "This big shopkeeper, are you here to store items or cash in banknotes?"

"In exchange for some silver." Ning He took out the bag containing five hundred coins from his arms and passed it through the gap in the fence, "Five hundred coins."

I heard that there was only 500 Chinese characters, which didn’t seem to fit the title of Big Shopkeeper.

The enthusiasm on the waiter's face has not diminished, because on weekdays, there are many people who exchange gold, silver, and copper coins.

But it’s absolutely right to call him ‘big shopkeeper’.

So when he took the bag, he still said, "Big shopkeeper, please wait a moment, I will order first."

After saying this, he opened the bag and looked carefully at the printing on these copper plates.

After checking one, use the string at hand to wear the inspected copper plate.

A hundred more beats will make it consistent.

After a while, he counted five coins and put them into the cash box next to him.

He took out a silver bar from another cash box.

The clerks at the bank have been exposed to money for many years, so practice makes perfect.

He used a cutting tool flexibly, gestured on the silver, and cut off a small section.

Weigh it on a plate, a little more than half a liang.

He couldn't help but make a calculation in his mind, so he looked at Ning He and asked: "Big shopkeeper, would you like to add another five cents, or should I scrape off the excess?"

"No need to bother." Ning He smiled and took out another five coins from his pocket and put it in front of the clerk's case.

The clerk checked it briefly and handed the money out, "Keep your money."

Ning He received the money and saw that he really had no intention of exchanging it, so he thanked the clerk and left the bank.

And when Ninghe continued to go north.

In a deep forest one hundred and twenty miles away from Wan County.

There is a well-established black bear spirit, wandering in the forest as if it is lost.

But if outsiders look at it, there is only a strong man who is over 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. He is also holding a big bag in his hand.

This is the method of transformation that the black bear spirit understood when he was building the foundation four hundred years ago, and the human body he transformed into.

At this moment, he was taking out a big bun with thin skin and lots of stuffing from the bag, and took a bite, and his hands were covered with oil.

In just a few moments, he finished the more than forty buns.

He looked at the oil bag reluctantly.

Look at the oil on your palms and smell the fragrance.

I saw no one in the deep forest.

He instigated the magic spell again, wrapped a few fingers and bags, and sucked all the oil into his mouth.

Only then did he show a satisfied expression.

And he thought about Lingcheng Qing County, where he was about to go, where there were better Xiao Long Baozi, and he was full of expectations.

As for which direction to go to Qing County.

He looked at the similar trees all around and realized that he had wandered around and accidentally got lost.

But this is not a problem.

He walked around in a circle and saw a farmer carrying a basket on the forest road in the distance. He wanted to ask for directions and turned into a gust of black wind, blowing towards there.

At the same time.

The farmer who was on his way suddenly saw a strange flash of black smoke in front of him, and then a strong man wearing an animal skin coat appeared in the black smoke.

"Monster?!" When the farmer saw this weird scene, he couldn't help but think of the legends of monsters in the mountains. He felt cold for a moment. He was so frightened that he couldn't move at all, and he could only stay in place.

He didn't expect that he would encounter the legendary monster just when he went up the mountain to collect some medicinal materials today!

When the black bear spirit saw the farmer's fear, he tried to calm his voice and said, "Don't panic, man. I'm not a mountain bandit. I just want to ask you something."

As the black bear spirit spoke, he saw that the farmer was stunned and did not dare to speak, so he asked without waiting for his answer: "May I ask which direction Qing County is?"

After hearing the inquiry, I saw that the monster had not moved yet.

The farmer raised his arm tremblingly, trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and pointed to the southwest, "Da... Daxian... Qing County is over there... about... more than two hundred miles away..."

"Thank you." The black bear spirit opened his mouth, showing what he thought was a smile, and turned into a gust of evil wind, rushing towards the farmer.

When the farmer saw this scene where the monster seemed to be eating people, he was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly and felt something hit his chest.

Unexpectedly, the evil wind surrounded the farmer and then left.

"I'm not dead..." The farmer realized after a long time that he was fine, and then he opened his eyes tremblingly.

When you see that the monster is not there.

He hurriedly ran down the mountain.
