As for why the master of the house was sent to pick them up, it was because these guys were basically servants of merchants who came to Taiwan to do business, and no local would be foolish enough to do that.
But now a group of people have their eyes on Nara and Akita, sneaking up on them. Nara Kawaji immediately pulled Akita behind him, watching them warily. He wasn't afraid of fighting, but he hated trouble. If he hadn't gotten into trouble in Japan, he wouldn't have come to Taiyuan.
"Gentlemen, please don't be nervous. We are legitimate merchants. Do you have such coins?"
The people who came over saw Naragawa's appearance and immediately made a gesture to not misunderstand. Then they took out two coins from their pockets. Akita could see clearly that they were exactly the same as the silver and copper coins in his pocket.
"Are you...people of Great Xia?" Akita Shichiro asked, noticing that the group was dressed as Great Xia servants.
“We are naturally people of Great Xia, and the people of Dayuan are also people of Great Xia!” several Great Xia servants emphasized.
What goods do you have to sell?
Akita Shichiro pursed his lips, offering no rebuttal. He still couldn't figure out the relationship between the Dayuan people and the Daxia people, because his foreman was a pure Dayuan person. He both admired and felt helpless towards the Daxia people. The Daxia people regarded the Dayuan people as bumpkins, but the Dayuan people now thought that the Daxia people were all poor devils. The only thing they agreed on was that they were all Han Chinese.
"We're not selling, we're buying. We'll only buy these two items. I saw some copper coins when you bought the candied hawthorns. Do you have any more of those? Could you sell them to us?"
Akita had just taken out a copper coin to buy candied hawthorns at a dessert shop. He bought three skewers and still had some left over, so he bought Yukiko a big bag of sweet cakes, which made her happy all the way until they met these people.
"I only have five copper coins left. How much silver can you give me?" Akita Shichiro may be tall, but he is quick-witted. Since he has been seen, he might as well exchange some money quickly, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might arise.
"One tael of silver." The servants' faces clearly showed disappointment. They thought Akita Shichiro's clothes were decent enough, so they assumed he was a "high-paid" Japanese. They hadn't expected to be so mistaken; he only had a few copper coins.
Akita Shichiro happily exchanged the copper coins for silver. In his eyes, silver was still more valuable than copper. However, he did not know that when these Da Yuan copper coins first arrived in Da Xia, they were sold as handicrafts.
There was more than one group collecting copper coins. Several copper coins eventually ended up in Wang Yushi's hands. When she saw the boy's face on the copper coin, she realized that it was Qin Mo at that time.
"Is this... a longing for one's father or mother... or something else?"
