In Junzhou, on the far eastern side, downstream of Luoshui, about six hundred li from Luoyang City, lies Guide Prefecture.
In Minglu County county town, Copper Coin Alley.
A young man with a gaunt figure and a sallow face crept timidly to the front of a shop bearing the sign "Universal Currency."
He looked up at the sign, clenched the worn copper coin in his palm hard, and muttered to himself:
"This must be the place Second Brother Chen was talking about, right?
Although I, Sun Wuliu, can't recognize a single character, even without reading the sign, I know that the shop at the very end of Copper Coin Alley is this one here, without a doubt.
I don't know where Second Brother Chen has gone. He clearly said he'd come with me to buy food, but his wife told me he was nowhere to be seen since early this morning.
Could it be that Second Brother Chen tricked me? Bringing this one copper coin to buy food, would they really sell it to me?"
