Chapter 125 Unexpected Similarities
“It’s unbelievable...the language spoken by the aborigines of this unknown world is exactly the same as the language I speak...
And, The words of this other world...are actually..."
After Lin Li withdrew his eyes from the two children who were jumping away, he looked up and looked ahead. He saw a car driving on the roadside in front of him. A shop with a signboard with the word 'tea'.
This word ‘tea’ looks so familiar, isn’t it just a square character? And it’s still regular script.
Could it be said that this unknown world is a world similar to the ancient Blue Star?
Walking into Lin Li, a small village in this different world, I was shocked by the little information I gained...
"It's really magical! This is good, but it makes it easier for me to learn more about it. This world." After the shocked Lin Li came to his senses, he muttered to himself with a smile, and then he started walking towards the tea shop on the roadside ahead.
…………
The tea shop opened at the entrance of the village is not large, only about fifty square meters. The owner is a middle-aged uncle in his fifties with a small beard.
Because it was lunch time now, the tea shop was empty without any customers. The tea shop owner sitting at the counter yawned out of boredom.
“Ha~”
At this time, a customer carrying a very peculiar backpack walked into the tea shop.
“Welcome.” When the yawning tea shop owner saw a customer coming, he immediately walked out of the counter and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, boss, how much does it cost to drink tea here?" Lin Li asked the enthusiastic tea shop owner with a smile.
"Drinking tea here is very cheap. A pot of tea only costs five copper coins." The boss said to Lin Li with a smile.
"Five copper coins???" Lin Li felt moved after hearing what the boss said.
Then he took out something from his pocket that he had bought at the silver jewelry store yesterday afternoon, a silver pimple the size of a fingernail, "Boss, do you accept this here?"
" Guest, yes, you just drink a pot of tea, so you don’t need to pay with cash, right? Don’t you have any cash with you?” The boss asked, looking at the small silver pimple on Lin Li’s palm.
"Cash money??? In this different world similar to the ancient Blue Star, is it possible that there are paper money? No, it is not surprising that there are paper money. The ancient Blue Star also issued paper money."
Lin Li muttered to himself, then shook his head to the boss and said, "I'm sorry, I've run out of cash and only have some scraps of silver left."
"Okay! Guest, you look for it first. Sit down and I'll make you some tea. , By the way, do you need some snacks?
The snacks in my store are all made by my wife, and they taste quite good." The boss took the silver dumplings handed over by Lin Li. Then he started selling the snacks in the store to him.
“What kind of snack? How much does it cost?”
“It’s a flower cake. The ingredients are all fresh. The flowers were just picked this morning. They are very cheap. One serving only costs ten copper coins. .”
"Okay, give me one!" Lin Li nodded, and then he sat down at a table near the door of the tea shop.
Looking at the children outside the store who were chasing each other and playing with each other from time to time, as well as the older elderly people who were walking together, Lin Li couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
“It’s strange, they are either children or old people, why don’t we see young people?”
After a while, the boss brought a pot of tea, and a plate of tea was not very well made. Exquisite pastries come out of the back kitchen. "Guest, please use it slowly. This is your money." The tea shop owner placed a pot of tea and a plate of pastries in front of Lin Li. Then he reached into his pocket and took out a few banknotes and handed them over. To Lin Li.
"Well, thank you." Lin Li took the banknote handed over and looked at it carefully.
The banknotes in this world are the same size as the one-dollar banknotes on Blue Star, with exquisite patterns printed on them. The difference is that each banknote has different traditional Chinese numerals written on it.
"Guest, please count. Your silver pimple is worth two hundred copper coins. There are a total of one hundred and eighty-five copper coins here."
"Yes, just right." Lin Li counted. He checked the banknotes in his hand and said to the boss.
Nowadays, mobile payment on Blue Star has become very popular. Everyone goes out to spend money, and fewer and fewer people use cash.
Now, when I come to this other world, I count the cash handed over by the other party. The numbers marked on the banknotes are all traditional Chinese numerals. I am not used to it for a while...
"Please use it slowly, if you need it." , you can call me at any time..." After seeing Lin Li counting the money, the boss said something and returned to sit at his counter.
Lin Li put the counted banknotes from another world into his pocket, then he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
Take a sip. The taste of the tea is ordinary, not surprising. It is no different from the ordinary tea that Lin Li drank on Blue Star.
I took a piece of flower cake recommended by the tea shop owner and tried it. The taste was average.
OK! In this seemingly undeveloped small village, the probability of you wanting to eat particularly delicious food is obviously very low.
The tea shop owner who had served Lin Li tea and pastries was observing this somewhat special guest with casual eyes.
The tea shop owner couldn’t tell what was so special about this guest.
But the guest in front of him always had an indescribable special temperament, which was very different from the guests he had received in the past who passed by the village and stopped here to have a sip of tea.
“Boss, I just took a look and found that you don’t seem to see many young people here in your village?”
After eating two pieces of flower cake and drinking a cup of tea, Lin Li noticed that the boss was looking at him, and he immediately asked with a smile.
"You are talking about young people! Today the village chief organized the young people in the village to hunt down a strange beast wandering around our village, that's why you didn't see the young people."
"So that's it!" Lin Li nodded after getting the answer, and then asked, "Boss, do you know how far is the nearest city from here?"
"You know, I went there when I was young! If you walk along the road to the north of the village, you can reach Dongwucheng about fifty kilometers away... There are some young people in our village now, and they are in Dongwucheng. I'm working in Wucheng!"
"To the north, fifty kilometers away, Dongwucheng..." Lin Li repeated the collected information in his mind, and then he asked some more questions.
It happened that the shop was not busy, and the bored tea shop owner started chatting with Lin Li.
Although he felt a little regretful about why this special guest always asked some common sense questions, the enthusiastic tea shop owner still answered Lin Li one by one.
