In fact, as the headmaster of Qiantang County, he would not be unable to afford a meal, but... all his money had to be paid to the carefully calculated woman at home on time and in quantity, and then he could only apply for his own wine money or something every month...

So, he really has no extra money now!

But men need face when they are outside, especially Li Gongfu, who is the head of Qiantang County, has a good official appearance. In front of outsiders, in front of those friends or subordinates, he also has to pretend to be the head of the family!

As for when you go home without outsiders, that's another matter...

Of course, Li Gongfu was afraid that his wife was not because of what outsiders said, but because he cherished and respected the other party! This is just like what those scholars said, "He is in line with his face and respect each other as guests?"

That's probably the reason!

Back then, in order to see his wife Xu Jiaorong and to impress the other party, he stood under the eaves of his house almost every day without any resistance. He waited for several hours!

You know, it only takes twelve hours a day...

He still remembers that he successfully scared away countless matchmakers and competitors who dared to come to propose marriage to others with his fierce expression and a rest-killer at that time. He finally used his perseverance and strength to impress the heart of the woman who was pulling a brother's life in a difficult situation, and married the virtuous and beautiful woman who was famous far and wide in Qiantang County as she wished!

This matter can be said to be the most worthy of talk about in his life, Li Gongfu.

So, over the years, even if he had to support his wife, he also had to support the one who had not taken it yet and no girl looked down on him. He only knew that the crane was dragging his sister down and could not do anything. He also didn't dare to have any complaints!

Li Gongfu has thought more than once: If his waste brother-in-law Xu Xian continues like this, he will be able to do business by relying on his literacy and martial arts, and he is only worthy of being an apprentice in medicine. He has no experience and ability, and he will probably have no other way out except being a son-in-law who is in the back!

However, the choice of a son-in-law who was in a back-end family, would not be considered as a third-class person in the end if he was looking down upon by his neighbors. As the only son of the Xu family, the wife Xu Jiaorong in his family would definitely not allow it!

I can't say that in the future, he would use the money he saved over the years to arrange a house and wife for the other party? Well, maybe this is the price that he didn't have to pay the betrothal gift when he took the other party's sister back then?

"What is money? Is that true?"

??(????????)????

Although she knew that the money she had taken out might not work, Annie subconsciously drew out a brand new green hundred dollar bill.

“Hmm?!”

"Is this the servant of the money house in your Daqin Fanbang? Tsk tsk! It's so amazing. If you use it to the Changshengku for pawning, you might be able to exchange for a small amount of money..."

"But it's useless! You'd better put it away yourself. This thing doesn't work in our Dasong!"

After playing with it for a while, Li Gongfu, who could not see the twisted words and patterns on it and the "monk" with a "bare" and "long shawl hair" from it, shook his head and returned the exquisite paper that was green, like Jiaozi, to the little girl who kindly wanted to pay the bill.

Li Gongfu felt that Jiaozi, who had such exquisite workmanship, had a lifelike head, and he could definitely get a lot of money from the money house in Daqin! So, he had never thought of actually using the other party's property to pledge it. Because, he could barely afford the money for this meal now, but the salary he had not yet heated on his waist would probably be reduced to most of the money... When he got home, he would definitely be scolded by the woman!

The more he thought about it, the more he sighed... The good wine and food on the table suddenly felt a little bland and boring.

"Then what does your money look like?"

If it is gold, it would be easy to deal with. Anne's own gold needs as much as she wants! If it is not enough, can she still go to the Kepru Star Zone to get it?

Of course, this matter will be discussed later.

Because now, she doesn't want to see anyone or things related to the world of mass effect and the Kopru Star Zone! She doesn't want to be laughed at by those people, never!

"Like this!"

"We use copper coins or silver here!"

Li Gongfu actually didn't give him any hope, because he could see that the other party didn't seem to have any money or something on his body, nor did he wear jewelry, so he would definitely not be able to hide that kind of heavy money! So, he just satisfied the other party's curiosity and took out a wallet to display it.

There was the salary he had just received last month's salary today: a few small pieces of broken silver and a small string of copper coins.

Their goods in the Song Dynasty were mainly made of money, which was the Tongbao copper coins!

Tongbao coins are very complex and have many types. The size and thickness of each place are different. Even... In the same place, a new money-making will be launched every few years... Anyway, it's very messy! Ordinary merchants always stipulate that each product will charge different amounts of different copper coins. Although it is troublesome, it can barely be circulated.

In addition to copper coins, there are even more bulky iron coins. Generally speaking, the economy of the Song Dynasty mainly relies on these two.

However, due to the chaos in circulation, the various components of copper and iron coins are of different prices, and the circulation has always been disorderly. Gold and silver are also needed to use gold and silver as the main storage currency. Silver is very expensive and has a better quality. One tael of silver can be exchanged for at least one continuous copper coins, which is a full thousand coins!

"Um……"

"I don't have these copper round cakes and silver..."

(,,???????,,) I cherished it...

Anne's own space pocket was just gold, gems and some messy things, but there was really no copper coins and silver...

If needed, she could have let the federal mining group guys from the Kopru Star area transported her hundreds of millions of tons to make do with it... However, she still couldn't take that face back, otherwise she would definitely be laughed at!

So, she could only think of another way... She didn't have any copper coins or silver coin, but she just didn't know whether they would collect gold coins? But Anne was not in time for this matter now, so she would talk about it after she had enough.

"that……"

"Captain Li... I have just gone to the kitchen to see the dishes. The dishes ordered by this little customer just now are almost ready. Do you think?"

At this time, the waiter who had just been driven away by Li Gongfu came back!

The other party looked at the Captain Li, who he couldn't afford to offend, for a while, before coming over and saying hesitantly... His meaning was also very obvious, that is: Captain Li needs to pay for the food he had already made!

Because, according to the regulations of their restaurant, as long as it is ordered, and has been done or is about to be done, there is no way to refund it, otherwise... the "small business" of their restaurant will not be enough to pay.

“!!”

"You... OK, tell me, how many of those dishes can't be returned?"

Li Gongfu, who was about to reject the proposal from the party and slapped the table, suddenly realized that the tavern seemed to be related to the cousin of their magistrate's wife?

So, he was struggling for a while and planned to admit defeat!

After all, this restaurant does have this rule, and the little girl opposite him who is still eating special food did order those dishes. It is true that the restaurant is not authentic... If you want to blame it, it seems that he can only blame himself for not keeping it here before?

“Not much!”

"The villain has ordered those who have not started to do it and retreated, and there are only ten things that have been done!!"

Although the other party's face looked ugly, although he also knew that Captain Li seemed to have been cheated by this little girl in Fanbang, but...

The waiter still stretched out a hand and gestured a gesture that the other party must have known.

“!!”

Sure enough, just after he finished speaking, Li Gongfu's face turned even more ugly!!

“…”

"You! Go and prepare immediately, put all the unsupported foods directly into a wooden box. We will pack them and take them back for food!!"

Originally, Li Gongfu thought that his salary should be half of it, so he could barely get a salary after going back, but who would have thought... I'm afraid there would be no more left now!

But at this point, what else can he do besides packing it up and bringing the woman at home to have a big meal together?

"Okay, just wait, the little one can make the decision. Use the two best mahogany food boxes to pack them well, and you don't need to return them again!"

Seeing that the captain was reasonable and did not make things difficult for him, the waiter quickly walked quickly and turned around and ran to the kitchen after cheering.

The other party’s accounts can be resolved smoothly now, so his performance today is perfect and the shopkeeper will definitely reward him with a lot of copper coins!

"Pooh!"

"What kind of mahogany food box is it all exchanged for my own money from Li Gongfu?"

He stared at the waiter's back and muttered hatred. Li Gongfu raised his head and stuffed the wine in the cup in one sip!

Don’t think that he, Li Gongfu, would not know that those mahogany food boxes were made by the carpenter Wang on the city wall with the leftover goods! Although they looked beautiful, they were really worth a lot of money! I would like to cheat him, the top leader in Qiantang County’s thief and public security?

Dream!

The entire Qiantang County is not very big. What stores are there, what people are good at doing, or what are there for those who only know how to hang out on the streets? Will Li Gongfu himself not know?!

"Ahem!"

"The Supreme Taiyi Duhe Tianzun..."

At this time, Li Gongfu, who was still sighing, suddenly turned his head and saw an old Taoist priest wearing a shabby Taoist robe and even several patches on it, coming towards him, making his head, which was already slightly aching due to the salary, even more painful!

When the disciples of the Three Pure Land often chant "The Great Blessed Heavenly Venerables" when they pay tribute. If they encounter all the good believers who have unfortunate experiences, they will sing "The Supreme Taiyi Die Heavenly Venerable" and "The Supreme Taiyi Saves the Heavenly Venerable", which is called on the Taoist great benevolence and kindness to show their souls to help the unfortunate people, save the suffering and troubles.

In ancient times, no one dared to shout "Wuliang Tianzun" directly. Those who dared to chant like that might be beaten by the serious Taoist priests!

"Ouch!"

"I said to Master Chen! I, Mr. Li, really have no money today, and I really can't save you! So, don't come to save my Li family again..."

"If you don't dislike it, come and sit and eat a little?"

Seeing that the old fortune teller from Qiantang County came to find him again, Li Gongfu was two big in one head!

This old Taoist priest surnamed Chen was said to have failed the imperial examinations many times, and then he could not make a living. In his disheartened and poor spirit, he suddenly realized the incorporation into Taoism? Then, the other party did not have to become a disciple. With a few books, he found a Taoist sect to find a Taoist sect and became a Taoist priest who did not know the magic, but could only help others tell fortunes and write letters from home!

Usually, it is very difficult for the other party to live in the west of the city...

When he saw that the other party was pitiful, he often had no meal after eating. He was worried that the other party would starve to death. He just asked the other party to tell fortunes a few days after receiving his salary almost every month, and helped the other party a little copper coins so that he could barely eat a few days of cooking cakes or cook some porridge to make a living.

So, now after seeing the other party, Li Gongfu, while smiling bitterly, pointed to the dining table that had been eaten by a little girl, and said.

Although there are only some leftovers left here, the little girl wasted a lot of food when she ate it. It is always okay to let the old Taoist priest have a good meal.

"Then...is to bother!"

After saying that, the old Taoist priest looked bright and went straight to the dining table, not daring to compete with the strange little girl in Fanbian. He just took the rest of the other party and the big food splashed onto the table and started eating.

“Hmm?”
