Chapter 82 Lack of money
"Then do you have silver?"
Han Yu asked Zhang Bairen that he and Shaka must be poor.
Zhang Bairen said indignantly, "I had saved some silver in Posa City, but when I rolled down the cliff, all my clothes were scratched and all the silver was lost!"
Han Yu thought the clothes on him were of some kind of fashionable look, but now he realized that they were scraped by branches.
The question is, no one has any money, so how should we cross the river?
Swim over? Or take some time to cut down a big tree and play smuggling?
Finally, I thought about it, it still doesn't work. This is Wuya Island. Maybe someone patrolled secretly. If they were caught smuggling, they would never have a good end.
Now Han Yu has nothing valuable on him. If the Chaos Green Lotus is used to take a boat, Nuwa will probably be angry to death.
The light of Taihu Lake cannot be hooked with silver. The frost and heartwarming stones are easily exposed. In this way, he has only a tiger bone knife left on his body.
For Han Yu now, the tiger bone knife is actually useless, but this knife was given to him by the shaman, which carries his longing for the Xu tribe, and is of great significance.
"Oh, forget it, at the critical moment, I can't take care of it. See if I can use this knife instead of silver to take a boat, and then redeem it if I have money in the future!"
Han Yu said to himself, and it was clear that Shaka and Zhang Bairen watched him take out the tiger bone knife.
Zhang Bairen said, "You can tell the boatman that you can use this knife to pay the ship's fare first, and ask him to keep it for life and redeem it later!"
Sakyamuni said little, but he didn't speak much.
Seeing the boat docking, Han Yu gritted his teeth and took the lead in getting on the boat.
The boatman stood on the bow of the boat, "One person and half a dollar, three people and one and a half dollars, do you pay the shells or use things to pay the ship fee?"
The boatman wears a straw hat, six feet tall, dark skin, white beard, and should be around 60 years old.
The average lifespan of the human race around Wuya Island is much greater than that of the human race in other places. If a mortal is not seriously ill and ill, it is not a problem to live until it is seventy or eighty.
As for monks, they have lived for a longer time, like Hongjun, but I don’t know how many years have they lived?
"We don't have money. Do you think this tiger bone knife can compensate our ship fee?"
Han Yu took out the tiger bone knife and said.
The boatman held the tiger bone knife and watched up and down, stroked it left and right, frowned, and did not show any strange expressions until the beginning.
After a while, he said unwillingly, "Yes!"
In fact, the boatman took over the tiger bone knife not because it is so precious, but because he looks a bit old, and some people who take the boat like to collect these ancient styles. If you are lucky, you may be able to sell it for a big price.
I just thought so in my heart, but I couldn't show my expression on my face, otherwise I would be able to see that the price would be bad if I could be on the ground.
Han Yu did not raise the price, but expressed his own request, "Can the shipkeeper keep this item safe and secure? I will pay a large price to redeem it in the future!"
"How much is the price?"
The boatman sarcastically said, "After seeing that these people are not wearing high-end people, what price can they pay?"
Han Yu compared five fingers, "Fifty taels of gold?"
He actually had no idea about gold and silver. He mainly earned thousands of taels of gold and silver easily from Litianhu, and thought that this thing was not very precious on Wuya Island.
That's why I guess I said such a number.
"How many?" The boatman carried the boat with one hand and gestured with the other, "Fifty taels? Don't you have gold?"
He quickly shook his head and looked at Han Yu with an idiot-like look, "You are playing with me as an old man!"
In fact, the boatman was a little shocked. The fifty taels of gold were astronomical numbers. If he could really get it, he would not have to hold the boat here.
I had already returned to the island to marry a superior wife and spent my whole life freely.
When Zhang Bairen heard this, he couldn't help but touch Han Yu, "I'm so much, I promised that he would save it for you!"
He knew that Han Yu and others didn't understand the value of gold and silver. This mouth was fifty taels of gold, just like using millions of cash to buy a beggar's job. The beggar's first reaction must be that you were teasing him.
Han Yu understood and changed his words, "Then let's have five taels of gold. As long as you can keep the tiger bone knife, I will exchange it for five taels of gold!"
The boatman is not a fool. Although he is moved, he still doesn't let go. "You said it nicely and there is no certificate. If you don't come to redeem it for decades, would I have to wait for you for decades? I'm afraid that by then, I will all return to the West!"
"What do you think you should do?" Han Yu's face darkened. He must redeem the tiger bone knife, and this matter cannot be missed.
"I'm not a bad person. Seeing that you are really concerned about this thing, we will make an agreement. In a year, you will bring five taels of gold to redeem it. I will not say anything. In two years, you will bring six taels of gold, and in three years, you will bring seven taels of gold... and so on. I will only wait for you for five years, and except for the first year and the next four years, if someone pays a high price to buy it, I will still sell it!"
The boatman expressed his conditions and only added one or two gold a year did not mean that the boatman was kind-hearted, but that this or two gold was indeed a lot.
"Okay, one word is certain!"
Han Yu stepped forward and held the thin palm of the boatman. In fact, this boatman was not a bad person. He was just at the bottom of this cruel world for a long time, and he was just instinct.
If it were Han Yu, it might be even worse.
After the matter was finished, the boatman was speechless all the way, and soon he arrived on Wuya Island.
"Remember, our agreement!"
Before getting off the boat, Han Yu reminded him again.
The boatman waved his hand, "The little old man knows!"
He said this, but in fact he didn't take it much in his heart. It was not that he would breach the contract, but that Han Yu could not earn five taels of gold a year.
That's gold, one tael of gold is equivalent to a hundred taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equivalent to a hundred coins of shells.
It only takes one and a half dollars to take a boat once, and the boat owner can only earn fifty or sixty taels of silver if he works hard in a year. This income must be earned on the island, at least at least one person.
People like Han Yu are obviously mortals. If you want to earn five taels of gold a year, even if the three of you gather together, you can't do it day and night.
...
"Hey, the price you mentioned just now is still a bit high!"
As soon as he got off the boat, Zhang Bairen sighed, he had lived on the island and knew the difficulty of making money.
Han Yu promised too quickly just now, and it was too late to refute him.
"It's okay, five taels of gold are not too much!"
Han Yu did not take money seriously. With his current ability, it should be okay to be an expert on the island.
Can a master earn less than five taels of gold a year?
