Chapter 011

Hearing the shocking price of the fur sweater, Liu An was so frightened that he quickly covered his pockets.

The only two pieces of gold cake I have in my possessions, which would only cost about 20,000 yuan in copper coins. If I use them all to buy clothes, will I still be alive?

According to the shopkeeper, this is not the best fur sweater in the store. Not only that, the clothes worn by dignitaries often cost tens of thousands of dollars.

After Liu An repeatedly refused, the shopkeeper began to introduce other ready-made garments to Liu An.

After some selection and haggling, Liu An finally bought himself a commoner, a pair of trousers called hakama (ku four sounds) in the Han Dynasty, a short top, which is similar to a modern coat, and a

A cloth robe and two pairs of cloth shoes.

Now Liu An is still wearing straw sandals. What effect do those straw sandals have on keeping warm?

But he was very cold.

These items cost 2,060 yuan in total, including 360 yuan for cloth clothes, and a slightly thicker blouse, which costs 400 yuan each. A cloth robe is a thin layer worn outside, and costs 380 yuan. Although the effect of filling and warming is average, at least it looks cool when worn outside.

Ah, my demeanor immediately improved.

What Liu An didn't expect was that the pants were so expensive, costing 620 yuan a pair.

Two pairs of cloth shoes, 150 yuan each.

Because we had been haggling over the price for a long time before, the boss refused to get any cheaper this time.

However, Liu An hadn't finished buying yet, so he later picked out the same set of women's clothes and shoes for Cui according to the sizes in his memory, for a total of 2,100 yuan.

The boss was then satisfied and removed the small change for Liu An and counted it as 4,100 dollars.

After completing the transaction, Liu An took out a gold cake and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper first carefully checked the authenticity of the gold cake, and then took out a weighing tool to weigh the gold cake. It was exactly 1 kilogram.

Most of the gold cakes made in Han Dynasty are weighed at 1 small catty, but just in case, they still have to be weighed again every time they trade.

"Mr. Lang, it's exactly 1 catty of gold. Should I give you 5,900 yuan or convert it into silver cakes?" the shopkeeper asked Liu An after weighing the gold cakes.

The 1 catty of gold in the shopkeeper's mouth, which is Liu An's own definition of 1 small catty of gold, is equivalent to 10,000 yuan according to court regulations.

And 1 small catty of silver is equal to three thousand coins.

After silently calculating in his mind, Liu An replied to the shopkeeper: "Can you please give me 1,400 yuan and a pound and a half of silver, shopkeeper?"

It was too much to convert it all into copper coins. According to the production standards of five-baht coins, one five-baht coin weighs 3.25 grams, and 5,900 coins is 19 kilograms. One of the reasons is that Liu An can't carry it, and the other is that he is afraid that someone will get jealous after seeing the money.

Grabbed it.

It was all in silver and it was inconvenient to buy things, so Liu An had no choice but to think of a compromise.

"Yes." The shopkeeper agreed and started to give Liu An money.

After the transaction was completed, both parties were very satisfied. Liu An took the opportunity to ask the shopkeeper to borrow a place, went to the inner room, changed out of his linen clothes and straw sandals, and put on the new clothes he had just bought.

As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Liu An, who has changed into a new suit of clothes, does look much better than before.

He was free and frail, but thanks to this, his skin was very white. His ancestors had been passed down from generation to generation of marquises, and his genes had been improved layer by layer, so that almost none of his descendants were ugly.

Liu An's appearance is not bad, and he is fair. Now wearing clothes that look like a human and a dog, his demeanor has completely surpassed that of his colleague Liu Ming.

Although Liu Ming was also the queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, his demeanor was not entirely based on appearance.

Connotation and literacy are also important.

Even when Liu An was wearing tattered clothes, his demeanor was not inferior to that of Liu Ming. Now that he is wearing fresh clothes, it is normal for him to be more elegant than Liu Ming.

When Liu Ming saw Liu An changing his clothes, he also felt the difference in Liu An and praised: "My uncle has an outstanding demeanor and a dignified appearance. He will definitely do great things in the future!"

"Haha, Deran deserves the award." Liu Anxin thought, it seems that his appearance is not bad, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to get an official position in the future because of his ugly appearance.

It had been less than a day since he traveled through time, and Liu An hadn't had time to see what his body looked like.

Although the Yang Sui can be used as a bronze mirror, the person reflected in the concave mirror is too distorted. Liu An had looked at the Yang Sui before and could not see anything. He could not even tell whether the skin on his own face was white or not.

After thanking the shopkeeper for letting him borrow the house, Liu An took the clothes he bought for Cui and the old clothes he had just replaced, and the two of them laughed and left Lu's clothing store.

Next, I went to the grain store and bought 1 stone of flour and 2 stones of shelled rice. The flour and rice were divided into two sacks. Each sack cost 5 cents, and the total cost was 1,660 cents.

Among them, the flour cost 840 yuan, about 1 stone and 30 kilograms.

Hulled rice costs 400 yuan per stone, and one stone weighs about 15 kilograms.

The reason why both are the same as 1 stone but have different weights starts with the word ‘stone’.

"Shi" can be used as a unit of weight. At this time, 1 stone = 4 jun = 120 kilograms, which is about 30 kilograms in later generations.

It can also be used as a unit of volume. In this case, 1 stone = 1 dendrobium = 10 buckets = 100 liters = 20l.

Liter was the volume unit of the Han Dynasty, and each liter was equal to 200ml in later generations.

As for stone as a unit of volume, the specific weight of 1 stone depends on what is packed in it.

The weight of 1 stone of wheat and 1 stone of rice is different.

During the Han Dynasty, one stone related to grain was mostly used as a unit of volume, whether it was buying and selling grain, the yield per mu of land, or the salary paid by officials.

Although flour is made from wheat ground by stone mills, it is not a common food in the secular world.

Moreover, at this time, flour had not completely become the staple food of the people.

On the other hand, the price of goods in Zhuo County at this time was: 1 stone of rice was 230 qian.

But the rice here refers to unhulled rice. The poor people in this era mostly ate unhulled rice. The most common rice on the market is unhulled rice.

Including the thick porridge Liu An ate at home in the morning, it was also unshelled.

But Liu An believed that if he hadn't been so hungry at the time and ate half the bowl of porridge in one go, he would have been unable to swallow it.

Therefore, even though he spent a lot more money, he still chose hulled rice.

After buying the food and adding the clothes, Liu An alone could no longer carry it for a long distance.

In desperation, Liu An could only ask Liu Ming to help him get part of it, and then hurried to the car market and bought a cart for 3,000 yuan. He put all the clothes and food on the cart, and he and Liu Ming took turns pushing it.

Although they took turns, Liu An basically pushed for a while before he was exhausted and panting, so Liu Ming was actually pushing most of the time.

After enduring Liu Ming's tactful teasing, Liu An secretly made up her mind to strengthen her physical training in the future.

At the same time, you must also find ways to increase your own force value, otherwise anyone may take Liu An's life.

After all, he had a system. If he died at the hands of an unknown soldier, wouldn't Liu An die?

After shopping all afternoon, it was almost dusk, and Liu An only had 1,240 Wen left on his piece of gold cake.

Finally, Liu An and Liu Ming went to a famous meat stall in the north of the city, bought 40 kilograms of meat, and bought 2 kilograms of cress from the stall before going back.

40 kilograms, that is, 80 small kilograms, cost a total of 920 yuan, and 2 kilograms of cress was 10 yuan, so Liu An only had 310 yuan left.

He was still disappointed with the low prices in the Han Dynasty, so he bought this little thing unexpectedly. One piece of gold cake was about to be used up.

This piece of gold cake weighs half a catty, about 250g. If converted into money in later generations, it would be about 100,000 yuan.

With 100,000 yuan, you bought two sets of clothes, a broken wooden cart, more than 100 kilograms of grain, 40 kilograms of meat and 2 kilograms of vegetables?

Liu An twitched his mouth, indicating that he could not accept it.

Liu An, who looked depressed, was pushing the cart to go home, but then he saw a familiar face.

I saw that the man was more than 7 feet tall, with a majestic appearance. He was dressed in cloth but had an extraordinary appearance. His ears almost hung down from his shoulders. His hands were as long as his knees. He carried a straw mat and some straw sandals on the pole in front of him.

If not Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who else could it be?
