Chapter 297 Big Harvest
Shen Qingqian was overjoyed, but her face was very reluctant. "I don't have any gold leaves, only gold melon seeds. Do you want these?"
Shen Qingqian took out a few golden melon seeds from the system warehouse by reaching into his sleeve pocket.
When the bearded uncle saw that she really had gold, his attitude became more enthusiastic. He took out a scale from somewhere and asked, "How heavy is your gold?"
The balance scale was a special scale used by the ancients to weigh gold, silver and precious Chinese medicines, and it was extremely precise.
Many people may have a misunderstanding that the currency in ancient times was copper coins, silver ingots, gold ingots, etc., but in actual transactions, copper coins were the most commonly used.
Due to low productivity, the mining of gold and silver is limited. Silver and gold ingots are not used very often, but broken silver is used quite often.
After all, carrying copper coins is too heavy, so I would rather exchange them for silver if I can.
Gold and silver are both precious items and require high-precision scales to weigh them. The scales can be accurate to centimeters, which is milligrams.
Shen Qingqian handed one over, and the bearded uncle quickly weighed it. His eyes lit up even more, "Two baht!"
The baht of the Great Jin Dynasty is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty in Shen Qingqian's world. One baht is about 1.55 grams, and two baht is three grams.
Half a gold leaf weighs about fifteen grams, which means you need five gold melon seeds to buy a telescope.
Shen Qingqian thought for a moment, pointed at the pattern on the golden melon seeds, and made a four-sign gesture, "Four at most, otherwise I don't want any."
In addition to points, the most common rewards for signing in are gold melon seeds and silver peanuts, but these are hard currency, and Shen Qingqian will not spend them easily, so of course she will bargain if she can.
The bearded uncle understood what she meant, and immediately his face was filled with pain. He gestured and said, "Four, plus five hundred coins!"
Shen Qingqian shook her head, "At most four plus two hundred coins."
The bearded uncle had a painful look on his face. He held the telescope tightly, hesitating whether to sell it at this price.
Seeing him like this, Shen Qingqian pretended to leave, but was stopped after taking just two steps.
"Deal!" The bearded uncle felt his heart bleeding, but in order to return home as soon as possible, he had to reluctantly let go.
Shen Qingqian immediately handed over the money with a smile and took the telescope from his hand with the other hand.
In order to prevent this person from changing his mind, Shen Qingqian took the telescope and the beaker that came with it and quickly got into the crowd, turning around several stalls before stopping.
"Sixth Miss, what are the benefits of this thing?" Ling Yun asked curiously.
Shen Qingqian handed the thing to him, with a hint of pride on her face, "Take a look for yourself."
Ling Yun picked it up and looked at it, but found nothing. It was just a magnified version of the things on the ground.
Shen Qingqian reminded: "Look far away."
Ling Yun did as he was told, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide, "This, this thing..."
With his eyesight, he could see thirty feet away without this thing. After using it, he could even see the eaves of the restaurant roof seventy feet away clearly!
Ling Yun couldn't even imagine this being used during a march or a battle.
Shen Qingqian nodded with a smile, then made a "hush" gesture.
In the following time, Ling Yun's attention was completely focused on the telescope, which gave Shen Qingqian the opportunity to cheat.
While he wasn't paying attention, she secretly took all the classics including "Basic Planting", "Basic Construction", "Basics of Tool Making", etc.
When Ling Yun came back to his senses, he saw Shen Qingqian holding a bunch of things in her arms, mostly books. He quickly reached out and said, "Let me hold them."
