Then, he couldn’t hold it in any longer. He quickly took out his chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table and buried his head in the food. It was so hot that they were shivering, but they still refused to take small bites and continued to take big bites.
It was the most fragrant thing ever.
Not only were there duck legs but there were also vegetables beside the duck legs. There were also some green onions sprinkled on top. The soup was delicious, and it made their stomachs growl.
However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not hungry. In addition, Jiang Yue had been nourishing herself at home every day because of her pregnancy. At this moment, she did not want to eat oily food at all, so Jiang Yue ordered a vegetable noodle for herself.
Xue Yan, on the other hand, had egg noodles.
The egg noodles in this noodle shop had a fried poached egg on top of the vegetable noodles. In other words, Xue Yan had an extra poached egg in his bowl than Jiang Yue.
Because they weren’t hungry, they only ordered small bowls of noodles.
Jiang Yue did not even finish a small bowl and only ate half of it. The other half was naturally eaten by Xue Yan on her behalf.
Then, Jiang Yue asked Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou if they knew if there was a bank in this town and where it was.
Zhang Shoushou was still engrossed in eating and did not reply. It was Zhang Dazhu who answered, “I know where it is. I’m often in the village. I come to this town a few times a year. I’m already in my thirties. After so many years, I know that there are only two banks in Yaoshui Town. One is called the Jucai Bank, and the other is called the Treasure Bank. One is not far from this street, and the other is on the East side.”
“Which of these two banks has a better reputation?” Jiang Yue asked again.
“I don’t know about that. I’ve never been to a bank before. I just pass by these two banks when I come to town sometimes.” Zhang Dazhu told the truth.
“Then you should know how many copper coins here are equivalent to how much silver and how much gold are equivalent to, right?” Jiang Yue lowered her voice.
Zhang Dazhu was not st*pid. He also lowered his voice so that no one could hear him. “One thousand coins is equivalent to one piece of silver. Ten pieces of silver are equivalent to one gold piece.”
This was the same as Da Ling.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, who were still eating noodles, looked at each other.
“Then do you know where I can hire and buy a carriage in town?” Jiang Yue asked Zhang Dazhu.
Zhang Dazhu said immediately. “I know! It’s also on the East side of the town. There are barons selling livestock and horses there. They sell wooden carriages that are mounted on horses. You can also hire carriages there. When I was selling vegetables last time, I saw many carriages parked there, waiting for people to hire them. There are also carriages parked here for people to hire, but most of them come from that place. They came to sell some here so that some people don’t think it’s too far and don’t go there to hire carriages.”
Jiang Yue nodded, indicating that she understood.
Seeing that Jiang Yue had nothing else to ask, Zhang Dazhu quickly buried his head and continued to eat his noodles. Even though he had a big bowl, there wasn’t much left in his bowl because he had eaten in big mouthfuls. After finishing everything, his stomach felt satisfied and he was about to explode in joy. He vowed that when he had money, he would come here to eat noodles.
Jiang Yue saw that the noodle shop owner was free, so she asked the noodle shop owner which one had a better reputation, the Jucai Bank or the Treasure Bank.
The owner wiped his forehead with a towel and said, “Treasure Bank has a better reputation. More people go there than Jucai Bank. Although the Jucai Bank has been in this town for a longer time than the Treasure Bank, I heard that they are quite the tricksters. For example, if you take a hundred silver from the Jucai Bank to weigh, it’ll look like the amount is correct, but when you take it home, you will find that you are short of two silver.”
