Sister Sai took out a gold coin and tapped it lightly on the rough wooden counter.
"Hmm...huh? Ah, welcome, welcome! Ah! It's the distinguished knight! Welcome to the shop! What do you need?"
The proprietress who was snoring a second ago suddenly woke up with a smile on her face, and her eyes were accurately fixed on the crooked gold coin on the table. Sister Sai's outfit surprised her for about half a second, so she quickly greeted her again.
The flattering smile of a guest was replaced by a respectful smile of receiving a big shot, and the change was so fast that it was almost as fast as a goddess.
This aunt has some skills.
"Give us the best room."
Sister Sai turned her head and looked at us, then pushed the gold coin in front of the landlady with her finger.
"Master Knight, do you want to live in a small shop? This... small shop may not match your noble status~~~"
The landlady looked a little embarrassed. Although her eyes kept wandering around the gold coins and Sister Sai's head, she never dared to reach out to take the gold coins. People who can open a shop in the city are generally not fools, although money is
The temptation is great, but if you offend people in the church, you will lose your life to enjoy the benefits that money brings.
In fact, I am also a little confused, that is, what is the use of so much money for people in this era? The productivity level here is so low, there is nothing to spend money on except daily needs. Even if you have a lot of money,
They cannot spend money casually like in modern society, because the status of civilians is low and they are not qualified to spend money casually. The richest people are nobles and lords, and they are also the owners of large caravans. Even if a commoner is desperate,
If you work hard to make money, you can only open a shop or be a small traveling merchant at most. You will never become a noble because the nobles are not allowed. And even if they are nobles, they don’t have much use for their money. In addition to building castles and raising armies,
Rich people in this era can't think of any way to spend money, and their productivity and thinking limitations can't support them in any tricks. The extra money can only be piled in the basement and slowly collect dust, without adding value at all. This
This situation is absolutely impossible to happen in modern society. Fools all know that capital can only increase if it flows. Saving money is something people without money do.
But having said that, even in modern society, the way many rich people spend money is very monotonous. Except for some "world protagonists" whose thoughts are as rich as their wealth, most other rich people spend their money by buying expensive things.
buy expensive goods, buy expensive services, buy expensive and inexplicable things, or buy expensive but meaningless experiences. Ordinary people always laugh at themselves and say that wealth limits their imagination, and feel that they have no control over the lives of rich people.
Imagination is like a farmer imagining the king's golden hoe. But in fact, there is not much difference between the king's golden hoe and the golden armor. The level of civilization development is the real factor that limits people's imagination. Just like the earth before, even the smallest
Rich people can only take a chemical rocket to space and come back. They cannot go to Pluto to take photos. Money is always just a tool used to facilitate the exchange of materials within a civilization. No amount of money can break through civilization.
Limitations of the level itself.
"It's okay, we don't want to attract too much attention."
Sister Sai took out another gold coin and placed it on the table.
"Since... then... Sir Knight, you have given an order, then I will be respectful and obey your order! Please wait a moment, I will go and clean up the room for you."
The proprietress bit her lip, and quickly took away the two gold coins on the table with her rough hands. Then she quickly got out of the counter and ran upstairs. At the same time, she was shouting someone's name, as if she was calling the waiter to come to work.
"Sister, how much did you give her?"
I asked curiously in my mind.
"One year's turnover."
"Huh? So many? Are the gold coins in this place so valuable?"
"Because gold coins here are not ordinary large-value currencies, but special currencies that can only be enjoyed by the top class. The value of the resources consumed to make one gold coin alone is equal to the production value of an ordinary farmer for a month, and the church must also be included.
The added value of its specialness and rarity.”
"That's it... Then it's not easy for this aunt to control her."
"What do you mean, Amy, isn't it just valuable money? What's so hard to control? If there is a threat, you must choose your life!"
Bai Yanghua yelled in confusion from the side.
"You can't understand what I'm sighing about?"
"cannot!"
Have you ever heard of "Man perish for money and bird perish for food?"
"I've heard it, but I don't agree! Life is always the most important!"
"That's just because your life is the most important thing to you, because you are not short of money."
“Even when I’m short of money, I feel life is the most important thing!”
"Didn't you die before?"
"That's not because of money! It's because of dignity!"
"But generally speaking, you haven't experienced anything so bad that you can't survive without money, right?"
"That's true...anyway, I can make money from any job. Although it's not much, it's enough to survive."
"That's it, but there are many people in the world who are so short of money that they can't even survive. For these people, money is life, but life is worthless. They will even exchange their lives for money, so that they can have
Qian Gou Ming..."
"Wait, I understand what you mean, but can you stop talking so convolutedly?"
"It's not confusing at all, it's very concise and clear. So Yanghua, life is the most important to you, actually because you have the ability to save your own life. And for those who are unable to save their lives,
The methods of preserving life are even higher than life itself. They can only focus all their energy on these methods and have no energy left to pay attention to the original purpose. This is like a child with poor learning who only studies hard but forgets the purpose of learning.
, People who are short of love desperately want to fall in love but ignore the meaning of love, people who are short of money work hard to make money but lose the opportunity to spend money, etc..."
"...I was like this at the beginning. I just wanted to give myself a goal, but I had no idea why I had this goal and what this goal could bring me. Maybe I have always been the child who wanted to prove myself to my parents. Except
Prove yourself, there is nothing you really want to do...Sigh~~~Meeting you is really the greatest luck in my life. Putting aside everything you have given me, your greatest help to me is to help me find my
Kill yourself."
"That's right, we are friends and family."
"Yeah~~~"
Baiyang Hua smiled lightly, very pretty.
We waited in the lobby for about five minutes, and then the proprietress ran downstairs with a bang, still with a respectful smile on her face, which was quite ugly.
"Master Knight, the room has been cleaned, please!"
"Well, let's go up."
Sister Sai got up from the log bench and walked towards the stairs with a clang clang clang.
As expected, I still hate metal armor. It can't express Sister Sai's beauty at all. It's too much in the way!
