Hi Juan Antonio, Thank you for your good question. 找(zhǎo) here means to give change. We often say"找(zhǎo) someone some money." For example, if you want to buy a book which cost $29. You give the shop keeper $30. The shop keeper will give you the change, $1. In Chinese, "give you the change, $1" is "找(zhǎo)你(nǐ)$1." Two more examples, Wǒ gěi tā sānshí kuài, tā zhǎo wǒ wǔ kuài. 我 给 他 30 块，他 找 我 5 块。 I give him 30. He gives me the change, 5 yuan. Nǐ méiyǒu zhǎo wǒ qián. 你 没有 找 我 钱。 You didn't give me the change.
