After the ancients finished the restaurant, they put the ingots and broken silver and left, how did

The shopkeeper not only knew that the money was enough, but also knew that he had received another big tip today, and this tip might even be higher than his salary for a year! In ancient times, in addition to silver, there was gold on the top, and there was a copper plate below, and this copper plate was the money for daily use, just like we usually go out to eat every day and only take out ten dollars and twenty dollars to pay the bill. To put it bluntly, in ancient times, if people threw down the broken silver and left when they were eating, it was equivalent to going to a street restaurant to eat ramen today, and then throwing down a few hundred-yuan bills and leaving, wouldn't the boss know that the food money was enough?

At a glance, you can see that you have given too much money for food, except for worrying that the money is fake, the others are naturally not worried.

Of course, this kind of bridge only exists in TV dramas, or some of the rich second generation of secondary two sick criminals, only to do this kind of thing, in fact, in ancient times, people used copper plates for dinner, not broken silver, and occasionally used broken silver, which is also with the store is afraid that the other party will give themselves one or two copper plates, just like today you take a hundred yuan bill to eat five yuan fried noodles a night, and the boss will carefully count your money!

This question in the title is actually the same as the ancient chivalrous guests who always asked for three catties of beef and a jar of good wine for dinner, which is just a bridge in the **, in order to reflect the chic of those chivalrous. Just imagine, if the chivalrous guests that we all envy ask during the meal: "Boss, let's have a bowl of fried pho, I'm still busy going to Liangshan after eating!"

How do you feel when you see this kind of bridge? Do you think they're dashing knights? Of course not, you'll think they're funny.

Then, after they finished eating, they took out a piece of silver, and then sat there and counted the copper plates that the boss had retrieved, counted them three times, and always forgot them when they were halfway through, and then counted them a fourth time. Do you think this chivalrous man is very chic? Of course not!

To put it bluntly, the so-called "the ancients finished the restaurant, put the ingots and broken silver and left" This kind of thing is just deliberately done in order to create the image of the character! In fact, the ancients were not so wealthy.

Because silver is quite valuable, in the Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver was equal to 1,000 copper plates, and you could buy 2,500 catties of rice, so just one meal, one tael of silver is absolutely enough, and of course the shopkeeper will not stop it.

Merchants never do loss-making business, in ancient times silver was equivalent to more than 1,000 copper plates, so as long as you take out the silver, the shopkeeper will know that you are rich and can afford to eat.

This is the plot in the TV series, the ancients finished eating in the tube, put down the silver and left, the silver generally given means that there is a lot of money, enough money for food, and it was cheaper to eat in ancient times.

The unit of measurement of the ancients was fixed, and generally the broken silver was cut from a large piece of silver ingot, and under normal circumstances, as long as you estimate it with your eyes, you can know whether there is a shortage of catties or two.

It may be because the trust between people was relatively high at that time, and many people would abide by their credit.

Ancient people may have a relatively high level of integrity, that is, the shopkeeper does not need to know whether the food money is enough, and the person who eats, he only needs to give enough money. There shouldn't be so many people like now who come up with a lot of tricks in order not to check out.

In ancient times, the cost of food was only a few copper plates. The broken silver not only had enough money for food, but also a lot of tips.

After eating, the ancients threw down the broken silver and left, and the shopkeeper accepted it directly, didn't he need to look for money?

Nowadays, many people like to watch costume dramas. It is quite different from the current life, and many people are also curious about the life of the ancients. On TV, I often see a scene where the ancients went to a restaurant to eat.

shouted to the shopkeeper to order, after eating, he threw down the broken silver and left, and the shopkeeper accepted it directly. Seeing this, many netizens will feel strange. Now when we go to restaurants to eat, when we check out, we check the menu.

When it comes to paying, the merchant will also look for money. Didn't you have to look for money to eat in ancient times? For this problem, you can learn about it together.

This has to start with broken silver, ** It was popularized when the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains. But in the Han and Tang dynasties, it was used. But at that time, it was mainly copper plates.

In ancient times, the value of broken silver was measured by its weight. In hotels or eating places, there will be special dishes. You can know the weight of the broken silver, and you will receive a lot of broken silver.

It can be exchanged at the bank, which will melt the broken silver into ingots or remake the broken silver.

This will also avoid some troubles, such as if you eat a meal of 100 copper plates, and you go out with you a tael of broken silver. According to us now, the store will find you 900 copper plates. It's very inconvenient, and you have to bring a sack when you go out.

When trading, it is very inconvenient. There will be broken silver, which is more convenient to carry. For the wealthy, it also increases purchasing power.

When I went to eat, I received broken silver, and the shopkeeper was very happy. After a meal, it will be a few hundred copper plates at most. The value of broken silver is much higher than that of copper plates, and receiving broken silver is equivalent to making a lot of money.

It's too late to be happy, and it will definitely not be stopped. And those who can pay with broken silver are usually rich families. It's equivalent to the rich people now, going to eat at a more upscale restaurant.

Will tip the waiter, is a meaning.

Rumin Huiguo is an ordinary family, and after a day's consumption, there is no need for broken silver, as long as a few copper plates, it can be solved. In ancient times, the gap between the rich and the poor was also relatively large. Consumption with broken silver, the difference in rank can also be seen.

The poor use copper plates, while the rich use broken silver.

It's also important to note that this is a TV episode. There may be an element of exaggeration, in order to show the hero's heroism. It's impossible to wait over there after eating to find money.

Now, the rise of online payments. In fact, you don't need to look for money, how much money you eat, just take out your mobile phone to pay, and you're fine. Times are advancing, and the way of trading is getting simpler and simpler.

The ancient heroes would throw the broken silver directly on the table after eating, and the shopkeeper would not count it. Because the shopkeeper is well-informed and knows that so much broken silver can afford to pay for this table, and there is still a surplus, they will be very happy. For example, a small piece of broken silver is worth a few hundred wen, and when you go out to eat, you may only need to spend one or two hundred wen, which is more than enough to pay for the meal.

In fact, the ancient heroes we see are also what people imagine the real ancient heroes to be like, and we don't know. If you were born into a wealthy family, you may need to study hard or become a pawn of the family in order to inherit the family business, and it is impossible to be a hero. If you were born from the grassroots and don't have that much net worth, there is no way to take out a lot of broken silver at once when you go out to eat.

So this situation may not exist in real antiquity, but it is just a plot imagined by the directors. When we watch martial arts dramas, we also need to know about this, don't think that heroes are easy to deceive. And the heroes may only give a little more money, and their lives are relatively poor, how can they give all the money to the shopkeeper.

If the money is less, the shopkeeper will point it out or dare not point it out, because the hero has ** on his back, they may not have a good temper, and they can only let the shopkeeper get into trouble. After eating, as long as the hero gives the money, the shopkeeper will accept it, after all, some people in the rivers and lakes can't be messed with. The other party comes and goes in the rivers and lakes and will not settle somewhere, but the shopkeeper has been working here.

However, the biggest possibility is the first type, that is, the broken silver given by the hero, which has far exceeded the value of this meal, so the shopkeeper never counts the broken silver. In fact, it is also more convenient to carry broken silver, and if you bring a lot of copper plates, it will also make the pressure of the hero too heavy.

Martial arts dramas are also imagined by people, just like those sci-fi dramas, some things in them may also be fake.

As for why the heroes eat and throw down two or three pieces of broken silver, the shopkeeper never counts the money. The reason is very simple, the amount of money represented by those broken silver has far exceeded the cost of food. If you go out to eat a pound of beef, a pound of peanuts, and a bottle of green bottle and two pot heads, just throw a few 100 yuan and leave.

The waiter will also be satisfied.

Mainly because the amount of broken silver given by the hero far exceeds the ** of the meal money, the shopkeeper took advantage of it.

The money left by these heroes is more than enough, and there is still a lot of leftover, so it is naturally impossible to count the silver.

In the past, the way of money was different from the current one, and in the past, you could roughly tell how much money was worth when you saw it, but now you can only judge the value by counting the money.

The ancients threw the money on the table directly after eating, that is, the silver was thrown on the table. I don't care how much silver is put on the table at all, after all, there were many knights in ancient times, and they would put the silver on the table, and the reason why the shopkeeper didn't belong to the silver, I think it was because people in ancient times trusted each other. We can't imagine the level of trust of ancient people at all, I think because people don't believe anyone now, so there is no trust at all, so if people now eat and put money on the table, the shopkeeper will definitely count it.

I think another important reason is silver, after all, it is a three-year-old drink, and we can observe from film and television dramas that the silver put after every meal is actually not much, only about five or six pieces of loose silver. That is to say, in fact, every time the shopkeeper doesn't count, according to the shopkeeper's work experience, he can also deduce how much silver the guest who eats here puts on the table, so he doesn't have to count at all to know how much silver is on the table, and secondly, I don't think it's the shopkeeper's obligation to count the silver. We can all see from costume dramas that if it weren't for a small country shop, the average restaurant would have a tent.

The role of the bookkeeper of this role is that the shopkeeper who comes to count the money will take the money to the bookkeeper and let the bookkeeper say, so the shopkeeper doesn't have to count the money at all, and this is not within the scope of the shopkeeper's work, only the bookkeeper needs to count the money.

And people in ancient times were generally more righteous, and after eating, the money on the table would definitely exceed the amount of money, and it would not be put just right, or it would be less, so the shopkeeper would not count. There must be a reason why the shopkeeper doesn't count the silver, I think the ancient people will definitely not put the silver, just the right amount, and the ancient people basically think that the people who can eat in the restaurant are very rich.

Because of the slow circulation of money in ancient times, the ancients put silver on the table directly after eating, because most of the silver that many people brought out was only a lot more, and regarded money as dung.

I think that bowl of rice is cheap, and it definitely doesn't need as much money as silver, and since it's silver, then the silver must be more than the original rice cost, so there is no need to count.

We just learn about ancient life on the TV series, the real ancient people will use a scale rod to weigh the weight of silver, so if the shopkeeper Xiao Er never counts the broken silver, it means that the silver paid is enough, and you will know it with experience.

It's good to show Xiao Er the truth and fake, they are different in size, different in weight, and even the color of this and that piece is different, so Xiao Er doesn't count.

You just saw some plots in the TV series, and these plots are used as a deduction of real life in history, which is not the same thing at all, a tael of silver is a lot of food, if it is called in the tavern, it is the same as our current money counter.

Because silver was very valuable in ancient times, people usually only needed to give copper coins for meals. Therefore, every time a guest puts some broken silver for Xiao Er, Xiao Er will definitely not count it. Because these pieces of silver must be worth the price of a meal.

In ancient times, silver was not used at all, unless you were buying something very valuable. Therefore, every time the hero puts some broken silver for Xiao Er, Xiao Er will definitely not count it, and these broken silver must at least be enough for a meal.

We all know that the life scenes shown in martial arts ** and costume movies are all artistic romantic scenes, and too trivial daily details will be omitted. So it's not that it's not called, it's just that it hasn't been performed.

In ancient times, silver was only a unit of measurement, and it was exchanged with other substances, as long as it was felt that the weight of the silver given was heavy enough, and the number was innumerable, and the size was different.

Because the silver is all piece by piece, it is clear with the naked eye, so there is no need to count it carefully.

I think I'll actually count it, but the broken silver used in ancient times is still relatively large, and I think I can still know how much there is from a general visual inspection, so I probably won't count it when I'm busy.
