Belphegor gave the black cat two pieces of gold, one large and one small.
The big one is about the size of a child's fist, and the small one is just a little smaller than a standard golden bean.
Because these golds are not standard currency, they cannot be used directly, and Zheng Qing does not know whether these golds have been tampered with by Belphegor, so naturally he cannot take them back to the dormitory.
So after leaving the Cat Fruit Tree, Black Cat went straight to the Wizarding United Bank office in the academy, intending to exchange the gold into gold beans or jade coins.
Unfortunately, at this point, the bank has already closed.
Green Grocery Store does have currency exchange business, but on the one hand, there are many people in the grocery store, and a talking black cat carrying gold is always a bit conspicuous; on the other hand, Green Grocery Store needs to fill in relevant identities to exchange gold.
Information, Black Cat cannot use Zheng Qing’s student card as registration materials.
After walking along the shadows at the foot of the pedestrian street for a while, the black cat saw the big frog in front of the wandering bar.
The frog squinted his eyes, maybe he was asleep.
The black cat followed the footsteps of several guests and slipped in quietly. Amidst the noise and chaos, he chatted with a few wizards who hid their entire faces behind their hoods - they were the same ones as the students said by word of mouth.
The 'grey wizards' will always buy or sell some contraband at a price that everyone can accept, and a few pieces of gold are certainly not a problem - the only problem is that the gray wizards charge too high a price, and they even charge a fee to redeem some gold.
30% handling fee!
Hearing this quotation, the tip of Black Cat's tail wrinkled up in distress.
After leaving Wandering Bar and wandering the streets for a while, the black cat finally went to the west area of Beta Town in despair and found the owner of Courtyard No. 54.
"Your image is quite fresh."
Su Shijun scratched the black cat's chin with great interest and commented on its appearance. At the same time, he took the two pieces of gold and weighed them in his hands: "... there are some impurities, but overall it is quite 'clean' and has not been contaminated."
People use their hands and feet."
After that, he threw the piece of gold to Su Man, the head maid who was standing by. The head maid took the gold, bowed slightly, and quietly retreated.
The black cat reluctantly watched the piece of gold go away, and shook its tail with satisfaction: "Then you can help me exchange it... How many gold beans can I exchange for? You can get 10% of the handling fee!"
It has a bold look.
The witch tilted it and made no sound.
Black Cat suddenly felt restless, and suddenly regretted coming to Qingqiu Mansion - he exchanged gold at the Wandering Bar. Although those gray wizards charged high prices, they still abided by the rules - but in this mansion, Black Cat began to feel a little worried
Your gold will be confiscated directly.
It has even thought of the reasons given to it by the witch: Poseidon's living expenses, tuition and miscellaneous expenses, book expenses, toy expenses, the teacher's lip service and pen writing expenses, the mental loss caused by causing trouble, etc.
After just a little thought, the black cat suddenly felt that all four of its claws, including the tip of its tail, were numb.
It seemed that it had seen two beautiful little wings suddenly sprouting from the fist-sized piece of gold, fluttering and flying away from it.
Fortunately, Qingqiu's heir has a great family and doesn't look down on the trivial things like Black Cat.
“The handling fee is waived.”
Su Shijun glanced at the black cat squatting in front of him, couldn't help but reached out to pinch its cheeks, and shook it: "But next time you come here, remember to wear a vest...it won't have a good influence on children."
The black cat subconsciously retracted its tail and clamped its hind legs.
"Where's Poseidon?" It stretched its neck and looked around.
"Go to bed early." The witch covered her mouth and yawned: "You don't even know what time it is now... If you have time to wander around, why don't you pull Excuse out for an extra night of training?"
"The results of the trial won't be out until tomorrow night. Everyone's nerves have been tense for so long. It's time to relax a little." The black cat sat in front of the instructor in a polite manner. Finally, as if thinking of something, he put his paws into the gray cloth bag under his chin and touched it.
Make a small purple ball and push it in front of the witch.
"What's this?"
"I mentioned the lavender bubble bath ball during the last meal," the black cat tugged at its ears awkwardly, "...I want to bring one for it."
The witch raised her eyebrows with a look of surprise on her face: "It's strange that you still remember what you said... Finished weighing? How much does it weigh? How much can it be exchanged for?"
The next few words were spoken to the head maid who re-entered the room holding a lacquer tray.
The black cat looked expectantly.
His fist-sized piece of gold squatted obediently on the lacquer plate in Su Man's arms. Next to the gold was a small stack of jade coins. Under the radiance of magic, the two intertwined and exuded a charming luster.
The black cat was so fascinated that he didn't even notice that the owner of Qingqiu Mansion had his hand on its back, stroking it here and there.
The head maid did not immediately respond to her young lady's question, but reminded her very tactfully: "Miss, he is still a student."
Black Cat didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first.
But Su Shijun realized it and corrected it with a smile: "An adult student... Of course, normally speaking, I wouldn't touch the student like this in human form... But, is it a cat now?"
The implication is that humans are humans and cats are cats.
The black cat finally came to his senses and noticed something was wrong with his back. He was frightened, but in the end he did not scream and run away like a little girl. Instead, he tried to maintain a steady appearance, bent down, and left the witch's trembling body.
Palm.
Su Shijun pouted, but after all he didn't stop the black cat from leaving.
Su Man watched this scene with a smile, until the black cat squatted steadily on the edge of the table, she bowed slightly and presented the lacquer plate to the owner of the mansion: "...After removing the impurities and pollution, the net weight of these golds is fifteen taels.
Money is zero six cents (about 765 grams, more than a pound and a half), which is equivalent to 119 standard golden beans..."
"Don't worry about the small change." Su Shijun waved his hand and said lazily: "...just give him twelve jade coins."
This time, the head maid raised no objection and handed the pile of jade coins in the lacquer plate to Black Cat. There were exactly twelve jade coins on them. Obviously, she had already predicted the young lady's attitude before entering the door.
.
The black cat looked at the stack of jade coins in a daze, secretly speechless.
You know, as a fully funded student of First University, the bonus he can receive in a year is only ten jade coins - twelve jade coins, which can be used to buy an eighteenth-century Ashmore at Xiayuan Bookstore.
For bound Dharma books, you can buy two emerald crosses at Wandering Bar, and you can also buy 600 small roast chickens fragrant with oil at Pedestrian Street!
But now, these money are just labor fees for a certain big dog to help people do homework!
"It's true that the wealthy family is full of wine and meat!"
He muttered, but without any hesitation, he stretched out his furry paws and put away the pile of jade coins.
It wasn't until the jade coins were put into the gray cloth bag that the black cat suddenly realized that 12 jade coins were equivalent to 120 gold beans, which was a little more than his gold.
In other words, not only did he not pay any handling fees for this exchange, but he also made some ‘excess profits’?
But then he thought about being manipulated by a witch, and this bit of 'profit' seemed to have a source again. For a moment, the black cat was stunned in place, with thousands of thoughts and a very complicated mood.
