The layout of Dried Water Town during the day is no different from other small towns.
Lu Ban, dressed in a windbreaker that stood out from his surroundings, came down to the ground floor of the inn and laid out his coins in a line.
"Innkeeper, a warm two liang of liquor and a bowl of aniseed beans,"
he said casually.
The innkeeper, who had been numb last night, now had a smile on his face as he responded to Lu Ban.
"We have no beans, only liquor and some dried small fish to accompany the drink—would that be okay?"
"Sure."
Lu Ban handed over the coins in his hand to the innkeeper. These were the local currency, which he had gotten in the morning when he had gotten breakfast and had gone into town to gather information.
No one was harmed in the entire process.
