However, although it was in Yaoshui Town, it was noon, so it was time for lunch.

Although Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't feel hungry yet, they thought that Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou should be hungry, so they decided to find a place to eat nearby.

There is a noodle shop in front of it, and there is a place where the ox cart can be parked nearby. I saw Xue Yan standing under the ox cart, helping his Yuebao get off the ox cart, and said, "Uncle Dazhu, we will take the ox cart. Stop the car there and let's go to the noodle shop to eat something."

"No, no, we're not hungry." Zhang Dazhu laughed immediately. Still sitting on a bullock cart with a whip.

Zhang Shoushou said, "Father, I'm hungry."

Zhang Dazhu immediately took out a penny, "Then you go to a steamed bun and buy two steamed buns."

Xue Yan said, "It's still a restaurant."

It happened that his family Yuebao was also helped by him to get off the ox cart, and then he went straight to the place where the ox cart was kept, and asked the person who specially watched the ox cart to help look at the ox cart, and fed the ox fodder, and then returned the money. .

On the way to Yaoshui Town, he and his family Yuebao also knew that stealing and abducting cattle here is a serious crime, and it is impossible for anyone here to watch cattle carts to commit such a serious crime.

And the people who help watch the bullock cart are not afraid that you won't give money, after all, you even have the bullock cart in their hands.

"Why spend this money, Shoushou and I just watch." Zhang Dazhu took the whip and followed behind. But happy. The benefactor is really nice!

Zhang Shoushou led the cow and followed behind, happier. I feel like I have some noodles to eat! It doesn't matter if he doesn't have noodles, his father will give him a penny to buy steamed buns! Steamed buns, although he has eaten them at home during this time, after all, he and his father are not very good at cooking. The steamed buns are actually not delicious. They are not like the ones in the town. good to eat.

"Cows also have to eat grass." Xue Yan smiled. "Looking at its stomach, if it is hungry, it will go back in an ox cart, how can it have the strength to pull us."

"That's true, that's true." Zhang Dazhu laughed again and again.

Then go to the noodle shop not far ahead.

There happened to be an empty table in the noodle shop. Four people sat down. Even if Zhang Shoushou sat down, he was taller than everyone else. The noodle shop owner hurriedly came up to ask them what noodles they wanted to eat, and said what noodles were in the noodle shop.

Zhang Dazhu said: "Shoushou and I can just eat vegetarian noodles."

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue didn't listen to them and ordered a bowl of duck leg noodles for each of them.

There are also other people in the noodle restaurant who order duck leg noodles.

You can see that there is a big duck leg on a bowl of noodles.

"Duck legs..." Zhang Shoushou swallowed.

Zhang Dazhu also rubbed his hands excitedly, and said to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue with a red face: "You gave our village so much food, and Shoushou and I wanted to die for you. Now, Shoushou and I want to die for you even more. You are dead."

"Mmmm. Mmmm." Zhang Shoushou nodded, echoing his father's words. With such a big life, the two great benefactors in front of him treated him and his father so well.

The duck legs are marinated in advance, and it only needs to be boiled for a while. The noodles will be cooked after a while in the boiling water. The noodle restaurant owner just brought two bowls of duck leg noodles and placed them in front of Zhang Shoushou and Zhang Dazhu respectively. , Xue Yan smiled and said, "What is immortal, let's eat noodles."

"Hey!" Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou both nodded.

Then I couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly took out the chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table, buried my head and started eating. It was obviously very hot, and they all shivered a little, but they still refused to stutter, and still gulps.

So fragrant and fragrant.

Not only are there duck legs, but there are also vegetables lying next to the duck legs, and chopped green onions are sprinkled on them. The soup is delicious, not to mention making them move their index fingers.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not hungry, and because Jiang Yue was pregnant, she would make up at home every day, and she didn't want to eat anything oily at the moment, so Jiang Yue ordered her own vegetable noodles.

Xue Yan is egg noodles.

The egg noodles in this noodle restaurant is actually a fried poached egg on green vegetable noodles, which means that Xue Yan has more poached eggs than Jiang Yue's bowl.

Also because they were not hungry, even if they ordered noodles, they both ordered small bowls of noodles.

Jiang Yue didn't even eat a small bowl, she only ate half, and Xue Yan ate the other half for her.

Then Jiang Yuecai asked Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou if they knew if there was a bank in this town and where it was.

Zhang Shoushou was still busy eating, and it was Zhang Dazhu who replied, "I know, although I am often in the village, I come to the town several times a year, and I am in my thirties, so after so many years, I have never been there. There are only two banks in Yaoshui Town, one is called Jucai Bank and the other is called Noble Bank, one is not far in front of this street, and the other is on the other side of Dongshi."

"Which of the two banks has a better reputation?" Jiang Yue asked again.

"I don't know about that. I've never entered the bank, but sometimes I pass by these two banks when I come to town. I know that's all." Zhang Dazhu told the truth.

"Then how much copper plate is equivalent to how much silver and how much gold, you should know?" Jiang Yue obviously lowered her voice.

Zhang Dazhu was not stupid, and he lowered his voice so that no one could hear him: "One thousand pennies is equivalent to one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver is equivalent to one tael of gold."

This is the same as the big ling.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, who was still eating noodles, looked at each other.

Immediately, Jiang Yue asked Zhang Dazhu again: "Then do you know where you can hire and buy a carriage in the town?"

"I know this," Zhang Dazhu said immediately, "it's also in the Dongshi side, where there are Yazi selling livestock and horses, they can also buy wooden carts that are mounted on horses, or they can hire horse carts there. The first time I was selling vegetables, I saw a lot of carriages parked there, waiting to be hired. In fact, there are also carriages parked here, which can be hired by people, but most of them came from there. I just came here. , Some people in the province feel that it is far away, so they don't go there to hire a carriage."

Jiang Yue nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't ask any more questions, Zhang Dazhu was busy and buried his head again, and continued to eat noodles. Although it was a big bowl, he didn't have much left in the bowl because he ate a lot. But this time I was really full, and it was delicious. When he has money, he will come here to eat noodles.

Jiang Yue just met the owner of the restaurant when she was free and was not busy, so she asked the owner of the noodle restaurant to find out which of the Jucai Bank and Noble Bank had a better reputation.

The owner of the noodle restaurant wiped the shouts on his forehead with a sweat towel and said, "It should be that Noble Bank has a better reputation, and there are more people going there than Jucai Bank. Although Jucai Bank is in this town compared to Laibao Bank It has been open for a long time, but I heard that there are many doorways in it. For example, you can take one hundred taels of silver bills to the Jucai Bank to exchange for one hundred taels of cash. At that time, you saw that the scale really weighed one hundred taels, but you can take them home. You will find that you are short of two pounds."

"You go to other people's money shop," the noodle restaurant owner continued, "they don't admit it at all. It's useless to go to the government when they say you are slanderous. If you don't do it well, the government will hit you back. Anyway, I haven't heard of it. This happened to the Noble Bank. It may also be related to the fact that the Noble Bank is a big bank, with semicolons everywhere, and the main store is still in the emperor. If the reputation is not good, how can there be so many semicolons? Although the Noble Bank in our town is not very big, the Noble Bank in the county is much larger. We heard that the general store of the Imperial Capital Laibao Bank is bigger, but we can’t imagine it.”

"Originally, there was a money shop in the town," the noodle restaurant owner said again, "it's a new money shop, but it didn't take long for it to open, and it was suppressed by Jucai Money Shop and closed. It seems that there are people in the government. I I also heard that Jucai Qianzhuang seems to want to suppress Laibao Qianzhuang, but Laibao Qianzhuang has opened so many sub-colons, and the head office is still in the imperial capital. I must know dignitaries. The background is actually harder than Jucai Qianzhuang, so I can't suppress it. Come down. But Jucai Qianzhuang has been in this town for so many years, and the network here must be bigger and more complicated than that of Noble Qianzhuang. Just like the local snake here, Laibao Qianzhuang wants to suppress Jucai here Caiqianzhuang is also a bit difficult. Anyway, the two Qianzhuang are now well water and not river water.”

As soon as the owner of the noodle restaurant finished speaking, people came to eat noodles again, and they were busy again and again, but Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were still thinking about Jucai Bank and Laibao Bank.

Not long after Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou finished eating the noodles, Xue Yan also finished eating the noodles, and then Xue Yan took out a piece of broken silver from the purse.

The noodle restaurant owner hurriedly picked it up and found money for Xue Yan.

Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Zhang Dazhu, and Zhang Shoushou came out of the noodle shop.

After walking a bit far from the noodle restaurant, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan asked a few passers-by about Jucai Bank and Laibao Bank. These passers-by said the same thing as the noodle restaurant owner.

Only then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan decide to go to Noble Bank in Dongshi.

It was no longer necessary for Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou to lead the way, just as they wanted to get acquainted with the town, Xue Yan gave Zhang Dazhu some copper coins that the noodle restaurant owner had just found, and said, "We will not only hire carriages, but also buy them. If you go back to the village with a horse-drawn carriage, you will no longer take the ox-cart. After you have strolled around the town, take the money to get the ox-cart and go back first, we estimate that we will not be able to return to the village until evening."

"Eh. Eh." Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou hurriedly agreed.

Then, the father and son really went for a good stroll by themselves.

They put on their best clothes for that.

Since the heavy tax was imposed, their father and son came to the town less frequently, and some parts of the town have changed a lot. Although they don't plan to buy anything, and they can't afford it, they can take a look around and take a look. what.

Unlike Zhang Dazhu and his son, who were so excited to walk around, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were much calmer, walking slowly, just like walking, and paying attention to their surroundings.

But it is still a bit far to go to Dongshi. Taking into account that his family Yuebao was pregnant, after walking for a while, Xue Yan hired a carriage nearby and let the carriage be slowly led by the driver, while he and his family Yuebao Bao sits on it.

The window curtain of the carriage was open, and he and his family Yuebao could see the outside scene through the window.

The roads in the town are all paved and smooth, and the carriage was deliberately slowed so that it was not bumpy at all.

The driver of this carriage was equivalent to their leader, and he brought him and his Yuebao to the East Market.

Only at the entrance of Dongshi, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan got off the carriage. Xue Yan paid the coachman before they walked forward.

At this time, it is time to apply.

After walking a few steps, I saw a big sign in front of me with the words "Noble Bank" written in big characters, and people came in and out of the bank from time to time.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not rush to enter the treasure bank, but observed the surroundings of the treasure bank. It seemed that there was an alley next to the treasure bank, so they looked at each other.

They plan to exchange 50,000 taels of silver notes, and 10 taels of silver is equivalent to one tael of gold. That is to say, if you want to exchange 50,000 taels of silver notes, you need 5,000 taels of gold... It's 5,000 taels of gold, not a few taels. , dozens of taels, just put them in the space, they used several wooden boxes to pack them. They can't just take them out of the space in front of pedestrians on the street, and they can't take them out of thin air in front of people in the bank. When the space is out, you always have to find a place.

And obviously, that alley is the first place they plan to take out the gold.

They haven't even entered the bank yet. Of course they are not in a hurry to take out the gold and put it in the alley, lest they enter the bank at that time, and if someone passes by and sees it in the alley, then when they come out of the bank, the gold may still be available. In an alley?

so……

I saw Jiang Yue suppressed her voice and said, "I'll take out a gold bar later, and ask the bank first, if it's settled, I'll come out first, go to the alley and take out the gold from the space, you will have a while. Later, let the people from the bank also come to the alley, and then move the gold into the bank."

"Yeah." Xue Yan nodded, no objection.

"We have such a large amount of gold, and we are strangers. I think the bank will definitely pay attention to us, and our missing person notice has the words 'Xuejia', and it will be posted in this town tomorrow to prevent people from the bank. Associating us with the Xue family in Shitou Village, don't say your surname Xue. If someone from the bank asks our surname, you can say your surname is Xuanyuan, and I'm your wife, no need to say my surname. "

"It makes sense." Xue Yan nodded again.

Then the two of them walked to the door of Noble Bank together.

It was also when he walked to the door that Jiang Yue had a gold bar in his hand under his sleeve, which was naturally taken out of the space.

No matter which banker they are, they are very discerning. When they saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan dressed in extravagant clothes, they immediately greeted them with a smile on their faces, and then invited Jiang Yue and Xue Yan in. .

In front of the Qianzhuang counter, several guys were exchanging banknotes for money. The shopkeeper was also behind the counter. As soon as the shopkeeper saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, he immediately walked out from behind the counter and invited Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. Take a seat aside and keep someone busy with a good tea.

"Dare to ask the son's surname?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Xue Yan smiled and said, "Don't give your surname Xuanyuan, this is my wife."

"It turned out to be Young Master Xuanyuan." The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled. Immediately, he hurriedly greeted Jiang Yue: "Hello, madam. I don't know why Young Master Xuanyuan and his wife are here?"

Jiang Yuedao: "We want to exchange some silver notes and silver ingots." After speaking, he took the gold bar out of his sleeve and put it on the table, "It's like this kind of gold, can you exchange it in your bank?"

Although there was only one gold bar, it was enough to make the shopkeeper smile. He felt that the two people in front of him must have more than one, and he was convinced that his eyesight was still good.
