Soon, she discovered that many vendors here still accepted barter, especially hard currency such as food.
Overjoyed, Chu Xi quickly found a corner, put on a backpack and filled it with 20 kilograms of rice and 20 kilograms of cornmeal.
Looking back, Chu Xi saw the old man still negotiating fiercely with someone, and he directly showed the things in the backpack, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the people around him. Chu Xi knew that the matter was settled.
There was no forced communication. He simply gestured with one hand holding the backpack and the other hand holding the copper coins. The old man, who had been staring intently, finally came to his senses. He took out a sack from behind, put all the copper coins in it, handed over the grain with one hand and the money with the other, and the transaction was successfully completed.
After leaving, Chu Xi went straight into his own space. Looking at the sack full of copper coins, Chu Xi couldn't help but feel happy.
First go to the bathroom to clean the mud off the copper coins, then set up a large iron pot, pour all the copper coins into the pot, add clean water, and make sure the water level is higher than the copper coins.
Start to light a fire and boil water. After the water boils, pour in an appropriate amount of salt and alum, boil the water for 15 minutes, then turn off the fire and let the copper coins soak in the water until it cools down.
Alum and salt water can dissolve the rust and patina on the surface of copper coins. You must control the time.
Pick them up, add clean water, and start cleaning. Scrub them with a brush and sort them while scrubbing.

There are more than a hundred categories of copper coins that have been sorted out. This jar contains coins from the Tang Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, with many types. The owner of this jar is not an ordinary family. There are more than a hundred silver coins alone, and four gold coins.
First, pick out the ones that you are interested in and put them in the room to play with occasionally. The rest are stored in the warehouse. They will be very valuable when you sell them in the future.
After playing with Little Stone for a while and looking at his happy smile, Chu Xi knew that she couldn't waste time like this any longer. Little Stone also needed the company of an adult, and it was really unfortunate for him to have a mother like her.
