Li Er twitched his lips awkwardly and looked at Zhuang Zhou again:

"How much is this?"

Zhuang Zhou didn't even need a calculator to read it out:

"The sweet potatoes are twelve strings of cash. I'll pay three strings as a deposit."

"And this Brother Cheng drank a total of 8 bottles of Coke, 100 wen each, which makes 800 wen."

"Sincerely! The total is three strings of eight hundred coins!"

After Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Li Er and Cheng Yaojin with a smile.

bring it on!

Give me money!

But who knew that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly stand up and say:

"Put it all in my account, and I'll send someone to deliver the money!"

Zhuang Zhou slowly stopped smiling.

"What do you mean, you two? Are you planning to default on your debt?"

In fact, Zhuang Zhou had no idea that most of the nobles in Chang'an would only bring a little silver and money when they went out to buy things.

If you like something good, you can have it delivered directly to your house and then pay for it.

Or take the goods away first and then send someone to deliver the money to the store.

People like Li Er and Cheng Yaojin came here for a secret visit today.

Naturally, I didn't bring any money with me when I went out.

"Humph! It's just three strings of eight hundred coins. How could I, Old Cheng, refuse to pay it back?"

What a joke! I am the Duke of Lu!

I'm still short of your little bit.

Li Er also hurriedly explained:

"That's right, we will never default on this small amount of money."

As he spoke, Li Er thought of another treasure:

"By the way, I also want to buy a lighter from your store."

"You don't have any money, what are you going to buy? Give up!"

Li Er: “…”

I'm the king of a country, and you say I can't afford it?

But when I think about it, it seems that I am really penniless now!

Li Er frowned and thought of a solution.

He is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he cannot bully others by taking advantage of his power!

His identity has not been revealed yet.

Besides, if Brother Zhuang really got the sweet potatoes, he would be a great benefactor who would benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty.

This cannot be offended!

Soon Li Er's eyes fell on Cheng Yaojin's sword.

"Brother Zhuang, what do you think of this sword?"

Zhuang Zhou didn't even glance at it:

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about swords."

"This sword is a fine one! How about pawning it with you first? I'll come pick it up in two days, and you can return it to us."

As he spoke, Li Er winked at Cheng Yaojin.

Signal him to hand over the sword.

Cheng Yaojin would never agree to that!

This is your Majesty's personal sword, a precious sword that has been used on the battlefield and won countless military merits.

"Erlang! This is probably inappropriate..."

Before Cheng Yaojin could finish his words, he saw Li Er giving him a sharp look.

Gritting his teeth, he nodded in agreement and said:

"You must take good care of this sword!"

Zhuang Zhou took it nonchalantly. Wow, I didn’t expect it to be so heavy.

I'm afraid it must be five or six kilograms.

However, Zhuang Zhou's physical condition is different now, so it is not difficult for him to hold it in his hand.

With a clang, Zhuang Zhou drew out his sword.

There was a sound of sword chime, clear and pleasant, like the roar of a dragon.

Zhuang Zhou looked at it carefully for a while. The sword was about three feet long, or about one meter.

The entire sword body is translucent and can illuminate people, but it looks cold and gloomy.

There is a five-clawed golden dragon engraved on the hilt of the sword, and the word "Qin" is also engraved at the root end.

It seems that this is Brother Qin’s surname, right?

However, Zhuang Zhou could guess that these two people should be government officials.

Maybe he is a royal relative.

"Alright then! I'll take the sword for now. I'll return it to you when you come to pick up the goods with the money."

Zhuang Zhou agreed immediately.

Li Er also said:

"I want all those lighters."

Zhuang Zhou responded:

"sure!"

He brought Li Er and Cheng Yaojin to the shop.

Seeing this, Ma San and others hurriedly greeted them.

Zhuang Zhou told them not to worry about it and took Li Er to the shelf where lighters were placed.

"Hey! These are all lighters, 20 wen each, 300 in total, 6 guan in total."

"Isn't it a 20% discount?"

"Please! You're buying on credit! How can I give you a 20% discount? I'll tell you next time when you bring the money!"

Cheng Yaojin's face turned a little dark!

But since Li Er didn't say anything, he naturally didn't say much.

"Okay! Then I'll take them all. You keep the account!"

Zhuang Zhou called out and asked Ma San to record all the accounts:

"One dan of sweet potatoes, twelve strings of cash; eight bottles of Coke, eight hundred coins; and three hundred lighters, six strings of cash."

Then he copied a copy and gave it to Li Er, reminding him:

"Come and pick up the goods, and bring this bill with you."

Li Er didn't say anything more. He let Cheng Yaojin take the bill, bowed to Zhuang Zhou, and then left the grocery store.

"Boss Zhuang, who are these two people?"

As soon as Li Er and Cheng Yaojin left, Ma San asked.

Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "I don't know him either, but he should be one of our big customers."

Ma San was immediately delighted:

"Although not many people came to buy things today, this single order alone brought in a total of 18,800 coins."

"Adding the 97 strings of cash I earned this morning, I've made a total of 115 strings of cash and 800 coins today. Oh my goodness!"

Of course, Zhuang Zhou didn't know the purchasing power of this money because he only treated it as game currency.

But if you calculate carefully, this is equivalent to a copper coin.

According to what Lao Liu said, one copper coin is equivalent to 4.5 yuan, which is almost equivalent to the current amount of money a grocery store receives.
