Not a single penny — the most direct Beijing way to say you are completely broke. Zir (子儿) is a Beijing dialect word for the smallest unit of money, so this means you literally have zero. Used to state financial reality with no sugarcoating, exactly in the style of 张雪机车.
Example Usage
这个月工资还没发，我现在一个子儿都没有。
My salary has not come in yet this month — I do not have a single penny.
