A stack of small bills worth five, one, two, and five were sorted out separately, with the ten bills (ten yuan) placed to one side.
The three of them worked quickly, all of them educated and sharp-witted. In no time, the money was sorted into piles.
There were more than ten ten-yuan bills, and the rest were one, two, and five-yuan bills plus some small change.
Gu Jin picked up the ten-yuan bills and said to the two seated in front of her, who wore excited expressions, "The total is 483 yuan and 80 cents."
"This... this is too much!" Liu Pingyuan wiped his face, in disbelief.
Gu Jiajie was no better, staring at the money on the table, his eyes blank.
Ignoring the two's excitement, Gu Jin took out eight ten-yuan bills, handed four to her cousin, and another four to Liu Pingyuan.
"This is your hard-earned money for today. If you have time tomorrow night, we'll continue to the black market; we might need to go a few more days in a row."
