Chapter 2 Pawn

"Fancy dress, from the South Seas?"

"Yes, that guy's hair is almost an inch long, and the clothes on his body look weird, and they don't look like our Ming clothes." Qi Laoliu swore and patted his chest and said.

Xiaoqi, who was known as Song Tou, turned into a look of surprise on his impatient face, and he had never seen anyone from Nanyang. Thinking of this, he stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said, "Let's go...... Check it out! ”

Soon, when Song Tou saw Yang Feng, he was also stunned by Yang Feng's "weird" appearance.

"Eh, this is a fancy dress."

Song Tou walked up to Yang Feng and looked at him for a while before asking in an official tone, "Who are you, where are you from, and where are you going?" ”

Seeing a person who was obviously much better dressed than the two shabby soldiers coming over, Yang Feng knew that this should be the leader of the city gate here, he still said it again with the reason just now, and finally he said: "I just came to Daming from Nanyang, but my ship was robbed by pirates at sea, and I was the only one who escaped from the whole ship. ”

"Hmmm......"

After hearing this, Song Tou thought for a while and looked at Yang Feng for a moment, after being a city gate official for so many years, it has always been their "fine tradition" to pluck the feathers of geese. He wanted to open his mouth to ask for benefits, but he looked at Yang Feng for a while, and found that he could almost be said to have nothing on his body except for a strange set of clothes, he scolded in a low voice, waved his hand angrily and signaled that Yang Feng could go.

Seeing this little flag let him go, Yang Feng arched his hand at him to express his gratitude, and then walked towards the city gate. Looking at the back of Yang Feng leaving, Qi Lao Liu smiled and said to his companions beside him: "Today, our Song Tou is a rare show of mercy, and there is no embarrassment for that Yiren." ”

The companion next to him also pouted, "You also saw that person, there is only a piece of clothing left on his body, unless Song Tou is willing to snatch that clothes, what can you ask for from others, didn't you hear what he just said, his entire ship's cargo has been strengthened." Leave a good fate now, maybe people will remember Song Tou in the future. ”

"That's true, but I'm afraid it's hard to ......."

In the whispering between the two, Yang Feng walked into the city of Nanjing, one of the largest and most prosperous cities of this era. He walked along the Sanshan Gate to the vicinity of Xuanwu Lake, and found that although the weather was very cold, there were still quite a lot of people on the lake embankment, and most of them were wearing clothes that were much better than the ragged farmers that Yang Feng had seen in the village these days. On Xuanwu Lake, a lot of red painted flower boats keep passing through the lake, Yang Feng walking on the lake embankment from time to time also heard the sound of men and women laughing, if he saw such a scene on weekdays, Yang Feng naturally had to sigh, but now he didn't have such a mood at all, because at this time he was not only cold and hungry, but he also felt that the eyes around him were looking at him in unison, that feeling was like a monkey in a zoo was watching, very ...... Well, not good!

Walking along the river next to Xuanwu Lake into a wide street, Yang Feng walked slowly, looking at the surrounding environment as he walked. Of course, at this moment, he was not admiring the ancient buildings or looking at the beautiful women, but looking at the shops around him. Suddenly, the huge word "dang" in front of a shop attracted his attention, for a store with such a signboard, its purpose and nature are the same whether it is the Ming Dynasty in 1625 or the 21st century more than 300 years later, and Yang Feng also felt for the first time that this kind of shop is so kind.

Stopped, Yang Feng touched his pocket, clenched the two hard erections in his pocket, and strode towards the pawnshop. He had had enough of the coarse grain cakes mixed with a lot of wild vegetables, and he even wondered if he would become a member of the glorious army of robbers if he had eaten the bitter and astringent coarse grain cakes for a few more days.

When Yang Feng walked into the pawnshop, a strange feeling suddenly came to his face. The walls of this pawnshop appear to be very tall, but the windows around it are high and small, the light is dim, and on the dark walls, there are some red notes, which read: "If you lose your ticket, you can't redeem it", "Insects and rats bite each obey the fate of heaven", "The anniversary of antique jade is fulfilled", "The costume of the spear is not appropriate".

Looking at the decoration of the pawnshop, Su Jin couldn't help but secretly complain, if this was in the 21st century, which store would dare to use such a fucked decoration style, it is estimated that it would have closed down a long time ago.

Just when Yang Feng was looking around, a guy in a brown shirt and about twenty years old walked over, and he was about to say hello, and he was stunned immediately after seeing Yang Feng's dress, and then asked in a Nanjing accent: "This objective, can you help you villain?" ”

"I want to pawn!"

For the first time in his life, Yang Feng said a sentence loudly in a slightly trembling voice.

"Okay, please come with the little one!" Although I wanted to take a closer look at this strangely dressed customer for a while, the guy who knew the rules of the store still resisted the curiosity in my heart and stayed in front of a counter.

After coming to this counter, Yang Feng frowned, this wooden counter gave him only one word, that is, "high", very high. With Yang Feng's height of one meter seven or eight, this counter is still a head taller than him, Yang Feng estimates that this counter is at least two meters high, when the other end of the counter, an old man wearing a cyan shirt and a melon skin hat with a thin face is looking at him with a blazing gaze as if he is looking at Yang Feng's origin, when his eyes and Yang Feng look at each other, he slowly asked, "This guest officer, what do you want to be." ”

Although he didn't like to talk to people with his head tilted up like this, Yang Feng still said: "Shopkeeper, I want to be this thing." ”

After speaking, Yang Feng put the thing in his hand on the counter that was obviously a head taller than him, and made a soft "pop" sound.

The old man looked down and saw that it was a silvery-white coin the size of a thumb, with chrysanthemums and some letters unknown to the shopkeeper on one side, and on the other side it was written in simplified letters. Huaxia People's Bank's words, although the shopkeeper has never seen this kind of coin, but this kind of coin is still very well made he was surprised, this coin carved things whether it is font or objects look to be lifelike and vivid to describe, the old man has done most of his life to worship, it can be said that he is well-informed, and the things received by his hands can be said to be countless, but he has never seen such a well-made coin.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, the old man asked quietly, "This guest officer, can you tell me what this is?" ”

"Of course!"

Su Jin took a deep breath and said: "Shopkeeper, I am a businessman who came to Daming from Nanyang to do business, but I met pirates at sea, all the crew and subordinates were killed by pirates, and I was the only one who escaped." Nowadays, there are impermanence, only some of the treasured coins produced in the far west, these coins are made of precious gold and silver, not only well-made but also can last for thousands of years without damage, and now I plan to go to the shopkeeper when some silver, settle down in Nanjing and wait for the arrival of the next fleet, and go to the shopkeeper's line for convenience. ”

"Oh......" Chao Feng's face showed a shrewd look that did not match his age, and said with a smile: "This guest officer, you don't want to bully the old and dizzy, this coin is obviously in my Ming script, and it is also a simplified text, what do you say about this?" ”

"The shopkeeper is rare and weird." Yang Feng did not hesitate to say according to the answer he had thought of earlier: "I will be mighty tomorrow and educate the Quartet, and the Yi people of Nanyang admire my Ming style, and it is normal to use my Ming characters!" ”

"Well, that's true." For this explanation that seems very ridiculous in later generations, it seems very normal to stop in the ears of the court at this time, today's China has not been ravaged by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Western powers for hundreds of years, and China at this time is already the most powerful and richest country in the world, whether it is the officials of the Ming Dynasty or the people in the face of any other country will have a kind of self-confidence and mentality of the Heavenly Empire, and the inferiority complex of the later generations who saw the foreigners being three points shorter has no market in the Ming Dynasty.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Feng walked out of the pawnshop, clutching tightly in his hand a piece of loose silver that he had just gotten in his hand.

This piece of silver is not much, only about three taels, this is Yang Feng with the only two one-yuan coins left on his body in exchange, although it has only been a few days since he came to this era, but Yang Feng also roughly understands the price level of this year. It is now the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and the price fluctuations in the Ming Dynasty are not so exaggerated, and the price of rice today is about nine coins of silver for one stone of rice, that is to say, one or two pieces of silver can buy about 200 catties of rice, according to this algorithm, one or two pieces of silver is equivalent to six hundred to seven hundred yuan in later generations, and three taels of silver is about two thousand yuan.

Although Yang Feng didn't understand how much these two coins were worth in this era, he also knew that he must have been cheated by that old man, but now he was not qualified to bargain, so he could only grit his teeth and agree, after all, his most urgent thing now is to find a place to settle down and find a way to return to modern society.

After leaving the inn, Yang Feng ate something casually, and then found an inn to live in, and then he had to study the mirror on his chest that accompanied him from modern times to Daming, and whether he could go home or not depended on it......
