Why did ancient people go to the inn and put down their money after dinner, never asking how much?

Many of our cultural customs are passed down from ancient times, and people's lifestyles have many similarities. However, in the process of development, new ideas have merged into old ideas and ways, and changed many things, making our life more convenient and fast. In ancient times, people used gold coins, silver coins and copper coins to buy goods. Later, the check appeared. Most people can only get copper coins, while the rich are broken silver. Although the money is good, it is heavy and inconvenient to carry.

Our current currency has completely eliminated the disadvantages of ancient currency. The renminbi is not only light and thin, but also has different face values, which is more convenient for consumption. In recent years, Alipay and WeChat have become popular, and money has gradually been replaced. But these ancient currencies have been protected as cultural relics, which is a witness to our historical development.

In ancient times, although gold and silver were the most circulating currencies, ordinary people could not touch them, and their daily expenses were copper coins.

Those who use broken silver as change are landlords, and few people can pay with broken silver, so only those who trade with broken silver are rich. At that time, silver was very valuable, and a piece of broken silver was more than enough for ordinary meals, so Xiao Er naturally wouldn't care.

People regard the reserves of gold and silver as the standard to measure social status. Those nobles go out without copper coins. Shopkeepers meet many people every day. They know this person's status by dressing up, and they never pay less for dinner. You wonder why those people in the Jianghu don't use copper coins as change, which can save some money?

As we all know, the value of copper coins is very low. One or two pieces of silver is equivalent to more than two thousand copper coins, and a meal costs at least several hundred copper coins, which is very inconvenient to carry, and many people who eat it have no patience to count.

For people who have no family, relaxation is their greatest wish. If you let them carry a bag of copper coins all day, it will not only provoke thieves, but also be a burden. They usually use broken silver. The bartender also likes these Jianghu people to come to dinner. After all, a meal is only a few hundred copper coins, and you can make a lot of money at once.
