After coming out of the gold shop, Lin Jiu gave Su Yu a strange look. She didn't expect that the gold bar was of such good quality that even the gold shop owner couldn't put it down.
"That little yellow croaker weighs two kilograms and was exchanged for six hundred silver dollars. I'll take one hundred."
Lin Jiu gave the big package to Su Yu and took a small package for himself.
The purchasing power of a silver dollar is not low. Converted into modern banknotes, a silver dollar can be exchanged for about six to seven hundred yuan.
When Lin Jiu paid in the morning, he didn't use this kind of big silver dollar, but another kind of small silver dollar, which was worth about one-tenth of the big silver dollar.
Otherwise, why would Lin Jiu be so generous? One big silver dollar is enough for the living expenses of three of their masters and apprentices for a month.
"Uncle Jiu, what are you going to do..."
Su Yu was a little speechless. He promised to take one-third, but in the end, Lin Jiu only got one-sixth. This also gave him a hint of admiration for Lin Jiu.
You know, just two silver dollars can make a father sell his daughter, or make a brother turn against him. After all, only a small number of people can stick to their true feelings in the face of money.
In that case...
Seeing Su Yu insisting on buying dozens of kilograms of meat and several feet of fine fabric, Lin Jiu had no way to stop him.
Seeing that Lin Jiu had acquiesced, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This was the only way he could think of to quickly find a solution.
Since he has come to this world, apart from various Taoist arts, only the spiritual beings of heaven and earth can make him pay attention.
As for Taoism, Su Yu felt that it was most appropriate to learn it from Lin Jiu. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lin Jiu was the son of luck in this world.
"Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, has come out. There are guests at home."
As soon as Lin Jiu came back, he frowned. These two unreliable things knew how to play in a day. When could they save him from worry!
After waiting for about a minute, Qiusheng and Wencai's replies came.
"I'm coming."
Following two different voices, two tall and strong young men quickly ran out from the back of the hall. Both of them were gray-haired and had no idea what they were doing just now.
Su Yu took a closer look and found that Qiu Sheng was as handsome and dashing as shown in the movie.
But the literary talent is not that good looking, and his face is a bit old. Even if he is just in his early twenties, Su Yu will believe you if you say he is in his thirties or forties.
"You two, I'll take care of you later. Why don't you go wash up? Didn't you see a guest coming?"
Seeing the dust all over these two living treasures, Uncle Jiu blew his beard and glared angrily. Sometimes there is no harm without comparison.
On one side is Su Yu, who has an extraordinary bearing and exquisite and neat clothes, and on the other side are Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who are dressed in old-fashioned clothes and have a gray face. Comparing them reveals the difference.
"By the way, you still don't know what to call me, little brother? Look at my memory. I didn't even ask for your name the whole morning we were together."
Lin Jiu patted his forehead with a bit of embarrassment on his face. Fortunately, he hadn't introduced it to the two apprentices yet, otherwise it would have been a real joke.
"It's my fault too. How can I bother the elders to ask? My name is Su Yu, Su from Suzhou, Yu from Yiyu."
"But the bright one Yiyu?"
Yi Yu's "Yu" made Lin Jiu think about it for a long time. He originally thought it was Yu who was depressed, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible. How could anyone introduce him like this? This was a big taboo and might affect his fortune.
"Uncle Jiu is indeed very knowledgeable and talented. I usually introduce him this way, but few people would expect him to be this Yu."
Uncle Jiu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. They were Taoist cultivators who were familiar with hundreds of scriptures, and he was particularly eager to learn. Su Yu's words were very useful to him.
"Come on, come on, sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea. This is good tea that I asked someone to bring from other places."
This time he stopped Su Yu's actions. Why are other people also guests? What's the point of always asking guests to do the work? The apprentice is unreliable, so he can only take action himself.
After drinking the tea brewed by Lin Jiu, Su Yu felt refreshed. Such good tea was rare in later generations and almost all became tribute tea. He had never drunk such a fragrant tea.
While Su Yu and Lin Jiu were drinking tea, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also washed up.
"Brother, tell me who the young man was and how could the master be so gentle? We don't have this kind of treatment."
While changing clothes, Wencai and Qiu Sheng chatted quietly.
"How do I know? Judging from the kind look on the master's face, could it be that he is his illegitimate son?"
Qiu Sheng was also a little confused about this matter. They had been with the master for so long and had never seen this young man.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Master may hear it and we will get beaten again."
"I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid!"
Although he said this, Qiu Sheng's voice lowered unconsciously.
…
"Hello, master, and welcome, guest." Although they didn't want to entertain guests, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai still had to come out because of Uncle Jiu's tutoring.
"Oh, these are the two senior brothers. I heard Uncle Jiu mentioned you, and you are indeed the best among men."
Su Yu smiled faintly, he could still say polite words.
Just hearing Su Yu's words, Lin Jiu was a little embarrassed. Who is a dragon or a phoenix, a loach or a sparrow? But for the sake of his disciple's face, he couldn't tell him.
"Let me introduce you to him. This is little friend Su Yu. He may have to live with us for a while. Please help him. If anyone dares to bully little friend Su Yu, huh."
Although he didn't say it directly, the meaning revealed in Lin Jiu's words was worthy of consideration by the two of them.
"No, Master, we are almost..."
Qiu Sheng made some gestures with his hands. The master should know better than him what was going on in their Yizhuang. Did he want to starve them to death?
Lin Jiu's eyelids twitched. He knew he was poor, but could you not say it in this situation? This is because you are sincerely trying to make me lose my life.
"It's okay. Since I live here, I will definitely pay the accommodation fee. These twenty silver dollars can be used as a meeting gift for the two senior brothers."
Su Yu was not surprised, and what he said was not wrong. If he couldn't get rid of the blame, he wouldn't consider helping others.
"this…"
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai's eyes suddenly became hot. Although they were very embarrassed, they took the silver dollar from Su Yu's hand immediately.
Following the master, they may not earn ten silver dollars a year, but this money is enough to keep them happy for several months.
"Put this money down. Su Yu has already paid me. When will you be qualified to collect money from guests?"
Lin Jiu was really angry and slammed the table so hard that even the tea in the cup spilled out.
These two rebels, when did he pay them fees for illegally receiving benefits from others?
Frightened by their master's furious look, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai put down the silver coins in their hands angrily.
The two of them were also aggrieved. This was a meeting gift given to them by others. Why couldn't they take it?
But the master was really angry, and they didn't dare to complain even if they felt wronged.
I remember the last time Master was so angry, it happened several years ago.
