Tiger Roars in China

At this time, the accountant had already counted out a stack of silver bills, two silver bars, six small silver ingots, and four hundred copper coins and handed them to Yu Yingzi.

Yuyingzi took the stack of banknotes with trembling hands and checked them one by one.

Two notes with a denomination of 1,000 taels, and six notes with a denomination of 100 taels. All of them were stamped with the seals of Jiantang and Huayulou, and could be deposited and exchanged in any bank opened by Huayulou in the nine states.

Two silver bars, ten taels each.

Six small silver ingots, one ounce each.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins.

So, those four hundred copper coins are really nothing compared to silver notes, silver bars, and silver ingots.

When the shopkeeper Hongtu left, he glanced at Li Meng and A Wan intentionally or unintentionally, smiled at them, and left.

After Manager Hongtu and his group had all left Yuyingzi's boat, A Wan rushed directly to the pile of copper coins.

His eyes were narrowed into slits from smiling.

Yu Yingzi found it a little funny, shook the stack of banknotes in his hand, and said to A Wan with a smile, "A Wan, with this money, your family won't have to worry about their future life."

Ah Wan said unhappily, "Uncle Yuyingzi, what's the use of all that paper? If we exchange it all for copper coins, the pile would be so huge!"

A fisherman's daughter is busy all year round and mostly sees copper coins. Silver is rarely seen. How would she know what a silver note is?

Yu Yingzi shook his head and said, "Ah Wan, you should know the principle of not showing off your wealth. You suddenly got so much money, it's inevitable that some people will be jealous. It's not uncommon for people to kill for money."

A Wan suddenly thought of the fish tyrants and the tax dogs, those hateful faces, and was immediately speechless.

She curled her lips at Yuyingzi and said, "Uncle Yuyingzi, I'm just talking. I'll listen to you."

Yu Yingzi glanced at Li Meng and A Wan and said, "A Wan, I will keep the banknotes and two silver bars for you for now, and you can take the copper coins and the six taels of silver and exchange them all for copper coins to buy more things.

Food, daily necessities, and entertainment are all fine.”

Ah Wan grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into Erya's pocket. He grabbed another handful and stuffed them into Sanya's pocket. He said generously, "Buy whatever you like. If it's not enough, ask me for more."

Erya and Sanya held the copper coins in their hands, and bright smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

Ah Wan put the remaining money into a cloth bag, tied it around his waist, patted it, and said to Yu Yingzi, "Uncle Yu Yingzi, I'm done!"

Yuyingzi looked at Awan with a smile and asked, "Awan, why don't you buy a bigger fishing boat?"

Ah Wan shook his head and said, "Uncle Yuyingzi, the fishing boat is too big for me to handle alone. My small boat is enough."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Yuyingzi, I want to build another stilt house..."

Osprey was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Ah Wan hugged Li Meng's arm and said, "Xiao Bai and I will get married sooner or later. I want to live alone with Xiao Bai."

Yuyingzi, Erya and Sanya never thought that Awan could actually say such words.

Erya and Sanya were still young after all, so they blushed immediately and hid aside.

Yu Yingzi asked solemnly, "Ah Wan, this is not a trivial matter. It concerns your lifelong happiness. Have you really thought about it?"

Ah Wan nodded firmly and said, "I've thought about it!"

Finally, Yuyingzi was defeated by Awan's persistence.

He sighed and said, "Well, building a stilt house won't cost much. I'll do it for you."

Yuyingzi took Li Meng, Awan, Erya and Sanya off the boat and walked towards the city gate of Yuncheng.

They were all very happy, talking and laughing, and soon they had passed through the noisy fish market and arrived at the city gate.

They didn't even notice that a few shifty-looking men had followed them as soon as they got off the boat.

Yu Yingzi was only an intermediate swordsman and was not that vigilant. He did not notice at all that someone was following them.

The city gates of Yuncheng are completely open to the public and no taxes or fees are charged.

The gate next to the fish market is the East Gate of Yuncheng.

As soon as they entered the East City Gate, there were shops on both sides, selling all kinds of goods and snacks. Erya and Sanya, who were entering the city for the first time, were dazzled and didn't know where to look.

Although A Wan had followed Yuyingzi here once or twice, she was not much better than Erya and Sanya.

Osprey was their backbone. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and told them where to go.

The one who remained the calmest was Li Meng.

There was only A Wan in his eyes, and everything around him did not enter his heart.

They can’t go to big shops. Although they are rich now, they still live a simple and frugal life.

I wish I could break a copper coin into two halves to spend.

You have to buy cloth. Ready-made clothes are too expensive, so you have to buy cloth and make them yourself.

There are many girls in Awan's family, and all of them are clever and dexterous. Sewing and mending are not only something Awan, Erya and Sanya can do, but even Siya can do it quite well.

Girls? Of course they would buy floral fabrics, and they would choose the cheapest ones.

Make a new set of clothes for Erya, Sanya, Siya, and Awan himself.

No! Make two sets, wear one and keep one. Now I have money!

Of course, there are also Dad, Xiaowu, and Xiaobai at home, and they all need to make new clothes and buy a piece of blue cloth.

And Uncle Yuyingzi was busy running around, and he also had to make him a new set of clothes and a piece of cloth. . . .

By the time they arrived at a snack stand with their bags, it was already past noon.

Everyone was tired and hungry. Shopping was even more tiring than fishing!

They only spent about a hundred copper coins to buy so many things, but this made Erya and Sanya very distressed.

Fortunately, Awan is open-minded and wants to buy more things for the family.

When you’ve spent all your copper coins, just go catch silverfish, it makes money fast!

She waved her hand generously, "Eat as much as you want! As much buns and pancakes as you can."

Erya and Sanya are girls, how much can they eat?

The one who really let go of the amount was Li Meng. He ate more than the rest of them combined.

Yuyingzi was thinking in his heart, can Awan really support this foodie?

After eating, continue walking around and shopping.

Food and daily necessities, rice, noodles, oil... pots, pans, and utensils all need to be bought.

Li Meng has turned into their load-carrying truck, and all the heavy things are hung on Li Meng's body.

Li Meng also accepted everyone who came and didn't care at all.

There was already a small hill of stuff on his back!
