Chapter 135 Beggar Tree
Jiang Wanwan waited in the supermarket for about ten minutes.
Then she saw a ragged, dirty-haired, skinny kid limping over on the street outside the door.
The street where Jiang Wanwan was must have been taken care of by someone.
There hadn't been a single beggar the whole day.
And this little beggar who came over now must have been introduced by Wang Dong?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan stood up, walked to the door and asked softly.
"Wang Dong introduced you here? What's your name?"
"My name is Xiaoshu. Brother Wang Dong said you have errands here? I grew up here. Boss Jiang, just give me the job."
The beggar Xiaoshu spoke fluently. After a series of words, a bright smile appeared on his dark face.
But his clenched fists hidden in his sleeves exposed his nervousness.
This is the third world that Jiang Wanwan traveled through.
The first two worlds were not peaceful times, and he saw many pitiful people and things.
Now looking at the little beggar in front of him, who is estimated to be less than ten years old.
Although Jiang Wanwan felt pity in his heart, he was able to keep a normal expression on his face.
"I have a job as an errand boy here, and I want to find someone to help me buy some things."
Jiang Wanwan said as she walked to the cashier and took out some silver from the drawer.
It was only one or two silver taels, which she had exchanged from the system in advance.
In fact, Jiang Wanwan originally planned to be a little smart and send some silver from the zombie world.
After all, the difference in the exchange rate of gold and silver in these two worlds is too big.
Exchanging gold and silver from the zombie world, even with the transmission fee, is much cheaper than exchanging it from the martial arts world.
However, this little trick to save money was blocked by the system rules.
According to 007, the system has regulations that the materials brought by guests in each world to exchange for star coins cannot be used in other worlds.
Of course, the Earth where the host Jiang Wanwan was born is an exception.
As for the zombie crystal core, why can it be transmitted to the world other than the Earth for use?
That's because the zombie crystal core has always been used by Jiang Wanwan herself.
If she uses it to trade with people in other worlds, it will not work either.
And now, the one or two silver coins in Jiang Wanwan's hand were bought by her from the martial arts world for 1 star coin.
"I want to buy some oil paper for wrapping food and cloth bags for carrying things. Do you know where to buy them?"
Faced with such a simple question, Xiaoshu's face lit up and he quickly replied.
"I know. The grocery store in front sells oil paper. As for the cloth bags for carrying things, the cloth shop in the alley not far away has them."
"Okay, here's one or two taels of silver. Buy me 100 pieces of oil paper and 100 cloth bags!" Jiang Wanwan handed the silver over and said.
Xiaoshu looked at the silver handed in front of him and was stunned for a moment.
Then, he looked up at Jiang Wanwan's eyes and made sure that she was not teasing him. He
quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, then took the silver and promised solemnly.
"Don't worry, Boss Jiang, I will come back immediately after buying the things!"
Afterwards, Xiaoshu carefully inquired about the quality standards of the two kinds of goods to be purchased, and then hurried away.
As for Jiang Wanwan, she returned to the cashier's counter and sat down again, waiting quietly.
One or two taels of silver was nothing to her, but for a beggar who lived from hand to mouth, it was a huge fortune.
Jiang Wanwan gave this one or two taels of silver not only to buy things, but also as a small test.
If this little tree can withstand the test and do the job well,
then in the future, he can be taught to run errands.
Facts have proved that Wang Dong's vision of people is not bad.
In less than half an hour, little tree came back with a lot of things and the remaining silver.
Because little tree felt that he was too dirty, he was determined not to step into the store.
Jiang Wanwan could only walk to the door again and take the things from his hand.
As Xiaoshu handed over the items and the remaining money, he explained the details.
"Oil paper costs 1 wen per sheet, but you wanted more this time, and I told the store owner that you would continue to take care of his business, so I only spent 80 wen for 100 sheets."
"Cloth bags cost 3 wen each, and I used the same reason to bargain. In the end, I spent 250 wen for 100 pieces, which is the remaining 670 wen."
1 tael of gold can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver, and 1 tael of silver can be exchanged for one guan of money, that is, 1,000 copper plates.
The remaining copper coins were placed in cloth bags and strung together with hemp ropes for every 100 wen, for a total of 6 strings and one and a half strings.
Afterwards, Jiang Wanwan also checked the oil paper and cloth bags.
The quality was very uniform, and there was no inferior product.
In this way, Jiang Wanwan was very satisfied with this errand.
The quality of the goods was good, the accounts were clear, and most importantly, he could even bargain?
"Well done! But can you read and do accounts?" Jiang Wanwan nodded in affirmation, but his expression was a little puzzled.
Just look at the fluent accounting, doesn't it look like you just copied what the shopkeepers said?
"I can't read, and Brother Wang Dong occasionally taught us how to do accounts in his spare time. Brother Wang Dong also said that I have a talent for arithmetic." Xiaoshu answered with a proud look.
Mathematical genius? Then Jiang Wanwan was really excited.
So, as a math idiot, she gave him a few questions.
In the end, she found that he could calculate the addition and subtraction of three-digit numbers and the multiplication and division of two-digit numbers.
If he was just taught occasionally, he must be extremely talented to have reached this level.
It's a pity that he was not born on Earth!
After Jiang Wanwan sighed in her heart, she got down to business.
"By the way, do you know any delicious food around here?"
Xiaoshu, who had been concentrating, answered without hesitation.
"Auntie Wang's sesame cakes are so crispy that they fall apart, Auntie Zhou's meat dumplings are especially tasty, but there is not enough meat, and Boss Wu's wontons are thin in skin and rich in fillings..."
As a beggar, Xiaoshu rarely has a full stomach, but he knows all these delicacies.
Jiang Wanwan was so greedy that she wanted to swallow her saliva, so she interrupted him quickly.
"Buy me a bowl of wontons! Oh, and buy a food box to put it in. The food box doesn't have to be very exquisite, but it must be able to keep warm."
It is autumn now, and if the food is cold, it will not only affect the taste but also easily get a cold stomach.
Jiang Wanwan took out the 70 coins from her cloth bag and handed them over.
Although he had not received any reward, Xiaoshu was still very enthusiastic in running errands.
