As soon as the old man saw them, he smiled and asked, "Are you the refugees who entered the town last night? Are you from the rich town of Sanhe Town?"
The brother and sister looked at each other. It seemed that the whole town knew about the refugees entering the city.
The old man asked clearly again: "Are you here to exchange money?"
Da Ling was so shocked that his eyes widened and his eyeballs bulged out. How did he know?
The old man was amused by his reaction, "There used to be a bank in this town, and the boss was from Sanhe Town. After the chaos, the boss and his family passed by here and took away the people from the bank."
After that, people kept passing by the town for the past ten days. They were all exchanging money elsewhere and they were worried about finding me here.
How much do you want to exchange, should I exchange whole for zero or zero for whole?”
As soon as he heard this, he knew that he was doing a lot of business in recent times.
When Daliang was about to say that he wanted to change the whole number to zero, Qi Baoer had already asked: "How to change it?"
The old man didn't pay much attention to the little girl Qi Bao'er at first, thinking that it was the grown-up Daliang who was in charge of the relationship between the two of them. Now when he saw the reaction of the two of them,,,
The older one is more reckless, but the little girl is wiser and more rational.
And if he read it correctly, the older one was about to speak just now. After the little girl made a sound, the older one immediately stopped speaking naturally.
It is enough to show that the one who is really in charge between these two people is this little girl. The shrewd one is also this little girl.
The old man smiled and stretched out a finger towards Qi Bao'er.
Qi Baoer's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded, "Five hundred taels are exchanged for zero, five pieces of fifty taels, five pieces of twenty taels, fifty taels of broken silver, and fifty taels of copper plates.
Give me the exact same one,,,"
Qi Baoer stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of the old man's eyes.
The old man's smile immediately became more friendly, "No problem."
Qi Bao'er also immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes. The two little pear nests looked cute, but what she said was heard in the ears of the old man, but it couldn't be further from cute.
"Old man, let's hand over the banknote with one hand and the money with the other."
The old man's face paused slightly, but he didn't say anything else. He just took a deep look at Qi Bao'er and then turned around and went to the main room.
At this time, Daliang looked at the sister next to him with a puzzled look on his face and hesitated to speak. Sister, did you make a mistake in your calculation?
And what do those three fingers you compare mean?
What's more, sister, you have missed fifty taels of silver.
This number is an astronomical figure for their family. No matter how much he loves his sister, he cannot let her make such a mistake.
But the five hundred taels of silver were found by my sister herself. Dad said that she can arrange this money however she wants. This is my sister's private house.
So, Da Lang, who had been struggling for a while, leaned over and asked Qi Baoer in a low voice: "Sister, don't you feel anything is wrong?"
Qi Baoer looked back at him innocently with big blinking eyes, "Five hundred taels, 10% profit, isn't it exactly four hundred and fifty taels?"
"What?" 10% profit?
Is this an unknown robbery?
Qi Bao'er nodded, it wasn't just robbing, but he was confident enough to rob.
It's just that it would be too unkind to take advantage of her.
Daliang felt so distressed that all the features on his face were twitching, "Sister, how could this be possible?"
Banks also earn profits, but when you exchange one tael of silver, the profit is only one penny. Why is it only 10%?
Qi Bao'er didn't say anything else, just stood there silently, seeming to be looking at the room where the old man entered just now, but seemed not to be looking anywhere.
Da Lang couldn't tell what Qi Bao'er was thinking for a moment. He felt that he was not as smart as his sister, so he decided to keep silent.
But my heart feels like a cat scratching me, it feels tight and uncomfortable.
The old man came out of the house about a quarter of an hour later, holding three burlap bags of the same size in his arms.
When he came to Qi Bao'er, he narrowed his eyes slightly and took a purse and handed it over. There was a danger in his words that even Da Lang could hear.
"Little girl, I, Lao Yang, have been honest for more than forty years, and you are still the first person to doubt my character."
Qi Baoer was not threatened by him at all. He took out three banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Old Man Yang, "The world is difficult, isn't it?"
Old Man Yang glanced at the banknote in her hand, paused for a moment, smiled, and while taking the banknote, he carried the three purses to Qi Bao'er.
"Little girl, you are a person. Lao Yang, I will remember you."
Qi Baoer stretched out his hands to pick up the purses, carrying two bags in one hand and one bag in the other. He said with some meaning: "I remember you too."
A sudden breath rushed towards Old Man Yang.
The strange smile on Old Man Yang's face paused for a moment, and he squatted down and looked directly at Qi Bao'er, who looked at him fearlessly with a stern face.
Dali on the side: "..."
What is this doing?
Why can't he read or understand?
Logically speaking, at this time, he should rush up and yell at Old Man Yang, 'What are you going to do?', but what to do, he couldn't move his feet, and he couldn't make a sound even if he wanted to shout.
Dali was so upset that he wanted to slap himself to death for being so cowardly.
This guy thought he was scared, but didn't he know that his soul was suppressed by Qi Bao'er's unique aura from the underworld?
Old Man Yang's expression changed drastically, as if he had been frightened. When he got up, he staggered for a moment before standing still. As soon as he stood still, he hurried back to the house.
This reaction made Da Lang even more confused.
Finally able to move, he glanced sideways at his sister who looked calm, and then at the door curtain that was still slightly swaying. He didn't know for a moment whether he should say anything.
This time, Old Man Yang was very fast. He trotted back in just a breath, holding a purse that was slightly bullier than the other three.
When he came to Qi Bao'er, he bent down and held the purse in his hands with all respect and presented it to him, "The little envoy is guilty and has offended the adults. I hope you will atone for your sins. With a small gift, I hope you will not remember the faults of others."
Da Lang was completely dumbfounded by this twist. He didn't know how he got out of the blacksmith shop. When he came to his senses, he was already following Qi Bao'er on the street back to the inn.
And his sister, his biological sister, is now making candied haws with her left hand and frying pancakes with her right hand.
As for him, he carried a large basket on his back. It was so heavy that he didn’t know what his sister had put in it. He also carried a straw target on his right shoulder, filled with candied haws, and a large basket slung on his left arm.
The aroma wafting from it was certain that the lotus leaf buns that were so full that they were still coming out of the mouth of the basket were the fried pancakes that his sister was eating.
"Sister!!???" How much does this cost?
Feeling sorry for the small money, Da Lang suddenly forgot about Old Man Yang.
Qi Bao'er turned around to see that Da Lang was finally normal. He ran back and raised the candied haws to his mouth, "Here, I just ate one. It's delicious."
No matter what the people in Beiyang Town are like, it is undeniable that the people making food on both sides of the street are very good at their craftsmanship.
Da Lin took the candied haws in a daze and was about to ask a few more questions when his sister ran away again. In just a blink of an eye, she appeared in front of a stall making glutinous rice cakes.
