Song Qiu thought carefully and chose an excellent location.
A long river runs next to green mountains, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery.
There is a very spacious river beach on the edge of the long river, and the official road goes up.
And this location happens to be at the center of a three-way intersection. Whether you are coming from Panshi Town in the south, Baishui Town in the north, or the official road coming from Xiangzhou Prefecture in the east, you can see this road.
long river.
Song Qiu planned to build a thatched shed on the river beach.
It doesn't have to be too complicated, just build two slightly larger rooms. She puts a stove in one corner to prepare meals, and tables are set up in other places for people to sit and rest.
As for the location of the carriages and horses, she couldn't care about it for the time being.
It was quite easy for Liu Caigui and his son to build two thatched shacks.
In just one day, the whole place was done properly, and the gravel around the area where the thatched shed was built was evened out. As for the yellow mud inside, it was spread on a bed for tables and benches.
It can be placed flatter.
When we were building thatched shack that day, there were many passing pedestrians and convoys, so they naturally came up curiously to inquire.
Song Qiu was there at that time, and no matter who asked, they all said with a smile that her family planned to set up a tea stall here for passers-by to rest and quench their thirst.
When the person who asked heard it, he naturally praised it, which is convenient!
Song Qiu responded one after another, and was naturally more confident in the business he wanted to do.
After finishing work in the afternoon, Song Qiu paid the wages of the three of them today and asked them to get busy and make some simple tables and benches. They don't need to be too fancy or too elaborate, just usable.
After Liu Caigui heard this, he naturally agreed. He still had wood at home, and he would take his son to work on it early tomorrow morning. He promised that the thing would be finished in less than two days.
Both father and son are skilled in crafts. They can make beds, cabinets and boxes. Not to mention a simple table, they can quickly make one with their eyes closed.
The thatched hut was set up, tables and benches were prepared, and Song Qiu was not idle. Before dawn the next day, he drove the mule cart to the town.
Of course, Old Yuan didn't trust her alone and had to follow her.
When he arrived in town, the first thing Song Qiu did was to go to Wantong Bank to cash in the banknote.
As expected, Shopkeeper Mo still remembered her. She was served by a waiter. When Shopkeeper Mo heard Song Qiu's voice, he looked up and walked up with a smile.
"It's you, little girl. I haven't seen you for a long time. Lu Ji's rice dumplings have been selling so well recently that even the state capital has become very lively. It's been a long time since you, the eater, heard the news."
"Shopkeeper Mo." Song Qiu greeted with a smile and didn't say much about the rice dumplings.
This recipe has been sold to someone else, and their business is good, so she is naturally happy, but there is no more, and she is jealous? That is impossible.
"I haven't seen you come to the morning market lately. What are you doing here today?" Shopkeeper Mo Da smiled and asked instead of talking about rice dumplings.
Song Qiu said: "Isn't this town that I know you, shopkeeper Mo Da, who owns a bank? I want to exchange some copper plates and broken silver. How do you exchange it here?"
As soon as he heard that the copper plates were to be exchanged for scraps of silver, Shopkeeper Mo immediately thought that this little girl had sold the recipe to Mr. Lu.
Nowadays, the rice dumpling business is so booming, many people are jealous and curious about how Mr. Lu spent some money to buy the recipe from the little girl.
Now he is lucky enough to be the first to know.
Seeing that there were many people in the bank, Magic rolled his eyes and directly invited the people to the inner room, where no one else could see them.
Song Qiu looked at it and felt that this shopkeeper Mo Da was very appropriate, but she was not wrong about the person.
"Little girl, you know, our Wantong Bank is spread throughout the entire Dali Dynasty, and its reputation is absolutely guaranteed. If copper plates are exchanged for silver, one tael of silver will cost one thousand two hundred copper coins. If there is damage, two can be counted as one.
, if the silver is exchanged for copper plates, it depends on the quality of the silver. One tael of silver can be exchanged for about one thousand to fifteen hundred copper plates. If the money is exchanged, our bank will collect some money from it. Copper plates are exchanged for silver every five
We charge one hundred taels for each tael, and fifty taels for every five taels of silver."
Song Qiu felt a little troubled when she heard it. She didn't understand what the quality of silver was, but if the silver was good, of course it would be more cost-effective to exchange the silver for copper plates.
After all, the exchange method is different, but buying a pound of brown rice for five copper coins is a real deal.
Just like last time, the broken silver was used outside casually. The person who handled it probably exchanged it for her at a normal price without considering the quality. Even if the handling fee was less, it was definitely not cost-effective.
It would be better to replace it with a copper plate.
She rolled her eyes and already had an idea. Regardless of whether it was cost-effective or not, she would just do it.
"What about exchanging banknotes for silver?"
As soon as Shopkeeper Mo heard about the banknote, he began to estimate in his mind how much money Mr. Lu spent on buying the house. Why did he still use the banknote? Wasn't it fifty taels?
"When you exchange a bank note for silver, naturally you can exchange the bank note for as many taels of silver as the denomination. Use a silver scale to weigh it. It will definitely be a lot of cents. What is the price? If it is the bank note of our Wantong Bank, every ten taels
Collect one hundred coins, if not, then charge five hundred coins for every ten taels.”
When Song Qiu heard this, he realized that this bank was really profitable. Just sitting here and going back and forth could make a lot of money.
She nodded, and carefully took out the silver notes wrapped in oil paper, "Shopkeeper Mo Da, I have one hundred taels of silver notes here, but I don't plan to exchange that much silver, I will only exchange ten taels of silver, and give me the rest.
Is it possible to turn it into a banknote?"
Shopkeeper Mo Da couldn't help but smile when he saw the one hundred taels of silver notes.
It is said that Mr. Lu bullied a little girl, bought the prescription at a low price, and then made a lot of money.
But as a result, this recipe actually sold for one hundred taels.
Therefore, it is true to say that Mr. Lu is honest in business and never deceives others.
These people are eager to make fun of others. If they are allowed to come, who would be willing to give up this one hundred taels of silver?
This little girl is lucky and smart herself.
Shopkeeper Mo looked at Song Qiu, smiled, nodded and said, "Of course."
As he said this, he took the banknote and took a look. It was the banknote from Wantong Bank. Then he waved to the helpful clerk to come in and take out the banknote and exchange it.
Soon, the waiter brought back a tray.
Song Qiu took a look and saw two silver ingots of five taels each placed on top. They were brand new and in excellent condition.
In addition, there are five banknotes, one with a denomination of fifty and four with a denomination of 10 liang.
"Shopkeeper Mo, I exchanged ten taels of silver. According to what you said, I should pay the banker one hundred coins, right?"
"If you'd like to trouble me more, please help me, shopkeeper Mo, to change five taels of silver into copper plates according to their fineness."
Song Qiu said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Mo Da smiled when he heard that he wanted to change the copper plates again, and asked the clerk to weigh them and exchange them.
The five-liang silver ingot comes from Wantong Bank and is naturally of excellent quality.
According to the exchange rate, a total of 6,450 copper coins were exchanged.
In other words, one tael of silver was exchanged for almost 1,300 copper plates.
Song Qiu was overjoyed. After paying all the handling fees, one hundred and fifty grand, there was still six thousand three hundred left!
A good deal, a good deal.
Song Qiu happily divided the money into pieces and put them close to him. He thanked shopkeeper Mo Da for the hospitality in person, and then left Wantong Bank with Old Yuan and went to Bingfang.
