After taking out four gold coins and putting them in his pocket, and nine silver coins, Mir closed the box and disrupted the three rotating structures.
Pushing the box under the bed again, he stood up and said to Zoe: "Then I'll have to worry about you in the shop today, Aunt Zoe."
"This is my duty, Mir, and I wish you the best."
...
In the newspaper on the street corner, there is an old man reading the newspaper with a magnifying glass.
"Old sir, do you have a map of Stolon's city-state here?" Mir shouted softly to him. The old man's ears didn't seem to be as sloppy as his eyes. He squinted and looked at it: "Mir, your memory is better than mine. Is it bad? Even I can forget it."
Hearing this, Mir smiled and pointed to his head: "An explosion a few days ago caused me to lose my memory. I can't remember anything."
It is estimated that after some time the news spreads and more people know about it, maybe there will be no need to go to such trouble to explain in the future.
"That's it," the old man said in a low tone: "Amnesia is not a good thing. The word 'forget' itself is enough to suffer. So remember now, you always called me Grandpa Lurian."
"Grandpa Lurian, do you have a map of Stolon City State here? I need to get familiar with everything again."
Lurian nodded slightly, his expression seemed to soften a lot, and he turned around and picked up a roll of drawings tied with a rope.
"This is the latest, ten copper coins," Lurian pushed the drawing to Mir: "To be honest, almost no one will buy a city-state map. Well, at least you are the first to buy a city-state map this year."
"Are there no tourists in the entire Stolon?" Mir was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, all city-states should have exchanges with each other.
"Tourists?" Hearing this novel word, Lurian was stunned for a moment: "Are you talking about those bards? Haha, those guys who go shopping for wine everywhere are reluctant to buy a city-state with ten copper coins. Map, they would rather add five copper coins and a large glass of dwarf beer."
"Those who want it are reluctant to spend money to buy it, and those who have enough money to buy it usually have local acquaintances, but maybe no one buys the city-state map of my newspaper."
Mir interrupted him before he finished complaining, took out a silver coin and put it on the table: "Then let me take it away."
Lurian picked up the silver coins and weighed them, then he took out a small box and murmured, and saw the jingling inside: "It's really rare to use silver coins to buy newspapers and periodicals, but with this silver coin, I have it in this small box." I can free up some space again.”
Lurian put the silver coins in his pocket and opened the small box. The box was about the same size as Mir's small vault, but it was full of copper coins.
Counting them one by one for a long time, Mir also opened the city-state map during this period. The map seemed to be printed. It seemed that the world had mastered the printing process. From this, he saw a huge industrial chain and basic technology. This means that the education system in this world will not be too luxurious, and the dissemination of information and culture will not be too difficult.
The Church of the Mother Earth is marked with rough notes in the center of the city-state of Stolon, and the entire Stolon seems to be built around the Church of the Mother Earth.
Haowu Street is not far from the church. If the distance from the most remote slum to the church is ten, then Haowu Street is only four from the church.
After searching carefully, I also found the place I wanted to go to, the Shengding Residential Area, which was very close to the church. It only took me two stops to get from Haowujie Station to Shengding Station.
Lurian finally took out the ninety copper coins, held them up with both hands, and handed them to Mir.
Mir suddenly felt that the world's financial system was too rough.
Seeing Mir frozen in place, Lurian showed pride on his face: "It seems that you have really lost your memory, little Mir. If you want to ask what is the most annoying thing in Stolen's daily life, it is cheaper to buy it with silver coins." This item can definitely be ranked in the top ten, don’t be stunned, see that? There is a small linen purse hanging on it, open it.”
Hearing this, Mir took off the small bag, opened the closure and let Lurian pour down the copper coins in his hand, and lifted it in his hand. It was heavy.
"This linen purse is really incompatible with the elegant clothes you are wearing," Lurian said with a smile: "Remember to return the purse to me when you have time, it is not for sale."
Mir looked at the heavy money bag in his hand. He tied it around his waist and was afraid of damaging his pants. He could only carry it with his hands and put the city-state map into his pocket: "Thank you, Grandpa Lurian, wait for me to put these in Once the copper coins are disposed of, I will return the purse to you. I will leave first. Goodbye."
The two waved goodbye, and Mir walked on Haowu Street with his wallet in hand, looking at all kinds of people, as if looking at the novel scenery. People occasionally glanced at him, with their elegant clothes, exquisite faces, and rough faces. The linen money bag looked like someone was going to spend silver coins on newspapers and magazines, and the mill became a novel sight in people's eyes.
But after a while, I came to the flower shop. There were all kinds of beautiful flowers in different colors, each with its own beauty. However, the shop was very deserted. There was a girl standing idle looking at the street, wearing two shorts. She has short twin tails and round eyes, and looks cute. Before meeting her, Mir thought the world only had monocles.
"Hello, lady, I want a dream iris," the girl's mind seemed to be distracted, and she didn't even notice when Mir entered the store.
"Hey~ Oh, hello, um, what do you want?" The girl looked at the elf in front of her and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses.
"Dream Iris," to be honest, Mir is also a person who is often in a daze.
Hearing this answer, the girl hurriedly looked back and forth at the pile of flowers: "Dream Iris, Dream Iris... That's Dream Iris, oh yes, I remembered it."
The girl picked up a small bench, stood on it and took down a vase from the high platform. She held it in her hands very preciously and handed it to Mir.
Mir held it up with his free hand. The flower looked extremely charming and came in three colors. The outermost petals were blue, the inner petals were pink, and the center petals were pure white.
Mir was amazed. This seemed to violate the laws of nature, but this was not the earth, and he did not use the common sense of the earth to view the world.
While Mir was looking at flowers, the girl ran to a counter and took out a piece of paper, which seemed to have a price list for various flower gardens written on it.
"Well, sir, Dream Iris costs five silver coins and sixty copper coins." The girl pointed to the price on the piece of paper in her hand: "This is the only surviving plant in the entire flower garden, and Dream Iris has a long flowering period. , the one in your hand has just bloomed for less than two months. As long as she takes good care of it, the dream iris can bloom for two years, and then it will fall into silence for a year."
Hearing this, Yan Qing was stunned for a moment. The price was not expensive for him now, five hundred and sixty yuan. It seemed that no matter in which world, flowers had a serious premium.
This reminded him of the first financial crisis on earth, the tulip bubble incident. In Western Europe in the seventeenth century, tulips were introduced from Turkey. At that time, the quantity was small and the price was high. The nobles once regarded them as a symbol of wealth and glory, and all kinds of speculation Seeing the business opportunity, many people spend a lot of money to hoard tulips. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten that the flowers will wither.
However, this girl could tell at a glance that she was going to give it away, and she seemed to have some skills. Moreover, the flowering period of this dream iris actually lasted for more than two years, which was really amazing.
Besides, she wanted sixty copper coins, which could just reduce her burden.
Without bargaining, Mir handed her the heavy linen purse in his hand, and took out five silver coins from his pocket and handed them over: "I am holding flowers in my hand now. Please help me count out the sixty copper coins."
"Oh, ok, please wait a moment." After the girl said this, she squatted on the ground, opened the linen purse, and took out the copper coins one by one.
After a while, she finally finished counting the copper coins, and returned the remaining copper coins to Mir along with the money bag. Mir weighed the money bag and put it directly into his pocket. Now there were only thirty copper coins in it, which was just enough in his pocket. .
Seeing Mir turning around and about to leave, the girl mustered up the courage to say, "Well, I wish you success."
Hearing this, Mir was stunned for a moment, turned around and smiled slightly: "Thank you."
Hope it works, the only heretical clue.
