313. Buying a house
Every night when the accounts are settled, when the family is the most happy, Qiu Niang Xizi green calyx club stay in a room, Xizi does homework, writes big characters on his back, his waist is straight, the pen in his hand is held steadily, Qiu Niang has a bamboo branch in his hand, if he is out of his mind, he will touch him with a bamboo branch, so that he can come back to his senses.
Qiu Niang and Lu Calyx are making the clothes of the locals, the original ones are not used, the summer in Suizhou is a little hotter than Jinling City, Qiu Niang bought a daughter Ge, ready to make a dress for Shi Gui Lu Calyx to show his wrists and instep.
The local Ge cloth is woven out of fine and transparent, it was originally woven by the girl who was not out of the boudoir, this is called the daughter Ge, now the weaving workshop embroidery workshop is everywhere, the big weaving workshop is four or five hundred looms, and the small one also has two or three frames, where many daughters who have not come out of the pavilion to weave, and the daughter Ge has only one name.
This material is used to make summer clothes, fine kudzu cloth with silver yarn, it turns out that Ye Wenxin has several such silver yarn skirts, but the price is not cheap, Qiu Niang thought for a long time, and saw that the store was making money, so she dared to buy cloth and cut a piece of Shi Gui green calyx.
Shi Gui dialed the abacus, and the green calyx was watching from the side, her eyes were good, seeing her fingers moving quickly, she was very envious, and she didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing her counting.
Accounting is a slow job, from morning to night there is a calculation, no matter how small the expenditure is also an expense, the box is full of copper coins, the green calyx saw that her two hands did not stop, took the red rope out of a piece of copper coins, a thousand is a tael of silver.
Today, they are all asked to send them back, there is a lot of money on the counter, no one sends it is really uneasy, and I can't go back to ask Dafa to help, so I told Ah Zhen Niang that it was okay, Ming'er Ah Zhen went to work, and asked Zhu Asheng to pick it up at night.
Today's vegetable money is more expensive, but there is a lot of money, Shi Gui finished the account, deducted the principal used, plus the account that has not been recovered, eleven taels more.
There are broken silver and copper coins in front of him, copper coins are a total of seven and a half strings, two pieces of broken silver, and so on to save more, and then go to the money village ticket number to exchange for silver, open these four days, today the income has more than doubled, Shi Gui finished the account and looked up and said to Qiu Niang: "We can buy a house in less than a month." ”
Buying a house is not so fast, Shi Gui doesn't want to buy that shallow and narrow house, Qiu Niang has lived in a mud house all her life, and when the big water comes, the house is still an earthen wall, otherwise it will not be washed away.
She wanted Qiu Niang to live in a spacious and bright courtyard, with a patio, a tank of swimming fish, a grape trellis, and a stone table and stone bench, which could give Xizi a fist, dry Qiu Niang's clothes, plant two pomegranate trees, and preferably an oyster shell wall.
The oyster shell wall is a house that only the wealthy local families can live in, and the oyster shells are glued to the wall in rows, and the house is also shady in the summer, but this is still just a fantasy, how many oyster shells have to be used up for an oyster shell wall, and how much silver has to be spent.
Shi Gui accepted this idea, the local houses are high, and the wind can only pass through the hall, and it is cool to live in the house, but such a courtyard, if there is a hanging flower door, if the place is better, then how can it be a hundred taels of silver.
If the business has been so good, maybe you can grit your teeth and stomp your feet in the first half of the year, and the family will tighten their belts and buy the house.
Qiu Niang knew that Shi Gui was happy, picked a needle and cut off the thread, and said to Xizi: "The house that my sister bought will be my sister's in the future, and you have to earn your own house." ”
Xizi just finished writing a big word, he didn't hear what they were talking about, he was very focused, listening to Qiu Niang's words, people were still confused, and only then did he say after thinking about it: "I was going to be a soldier, and I lived wherever I was camped, why should I buy a house." ”
Shi Gui laughed, and Qiu Niang put down the needle and thread: "You don't want a daughter-in-law, can't you let your daughter-in-law live in the barracks with you?" Xizi blinked, and everyone in the room laughed, he was unhappy now, and his face was straight, as if he was a little ashamed.
Shi Gui is planning to get up seriously, and he doesn't know if he can buy a house here in installments, if he pays it in a few months and a year, he only pays a fixed fee at this time, and he does it for another month, how can it be enough.
I made up my mind to find Baozhi's father tomorrow, and then urge the car, and I had to buy two thin iron sheets and copper, and use them for soup in the future, and I had to go to Yayuxing, and the contract was changed, and the labor had to be recruited again.
Qiu Niang Green Calyx first also joked about Xizi, and when she saw Shi Gui distracted, she knew that she was thinking about business again, so she also stopped talking, one did needlework, one helped to draw patterns, Xizi finished writing ten big characters, and the family blew the lamp and slept.
At night, Shi Gui couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed, thinking about the full money box, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, he was self-reliant, bought a field and a house, and waited until he was more comfortable, and he didn't let Qiu Niang go to work again, and when Shi Dad found it, the family would be reunited.
It turned out that when she was in the Song family, she knew that she wanted to do something, but no one thought that this thing could be done, although Danzhu Shiju couldn't say anything unpleasant, she also persuaded her not to think right, and it was better to wait for a good wife than anything else.
Grape used to laugh at her, and then the two of them were good, although she didn't say it anymore, but Shi Gui knew that she didn't believe that Shi Gui could stand up for herself, and persuaded her to look at the present, telling her to look more at the present, if she had been only looking at the present, there would be no today.
Doing business and buying a house, and buying land with a surplus, Shi Gui exhaled when he thought about it, pulled a thin quilt over his face, looked at the clump of bamboo outside the window, and fell asleep with a smile.
Shi Gui immediately went to find Bao Zhi's father on the second day, Bao Zhi's father was still running on the dock to make a living, looking for a place for the merchants who had just come to Suizhou, and when he saw Shi Gui coming, he laughed to himself: "The girl's business is booming, I can take it." ”
He first thought that Shi Gui couldn't do this business, and he threw forty or fifty taels into it in one go, and he couldn't go back to his family, so he didn't drink the northwest wind, they were all women, and how to live, and he thought about saying a few words for her, and if anyone asked, he would point out the place to go back to the food car.
If you want to eat at home, it is better to take care of the business, how do you know that you have been sold short twice and twice, only then did you know that Shi Gui's method was good, saving money on the store, and the picture was small profits but quick turnover.
also calculated an account for her, sold it like this at noon, and came back with less than half a year of principal, but he didn't think about it anymore, Shi Gui still had the idea of a boat shop, and he also delivered food to the ship yesterday, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, and there is already a name on the dock.
Seeing Shi Gui again at this time, I couldn't help but look her up and down, when the family only came to Suizhou, there was nothing, how many days have it been, not to mention that after a long period of business, I can enter the city to open the door in half a year.
Shi Gui thanked him and invited him to eat in the restaurant: "Today is mushroom and pork rice, I specially asked them to keep two portions and bring them back to Baozhi to taste." ”
Bao Zhi's father still thinks that Shi Gui has something to do, and when she hears her say that she is going to buy a house, he is not surprised, and then he will buy a hut when the business is done, ordinary people do this, even those ship merchants, who want to buy land in the countryside after making money, and then hire tenants to farm.
Shi Gui saw that he agreed, and said a few more places, and said with a smile: "What I want is not two huts and a small building, I live along the street, I want you to pay attention to it for me, but there is a spacious courtyard, the house should be high, and the yard should be bright." ”
Bao Zhi's father was more and more surprised now, he had only been in business for a few days, if he really had money, he would not have let him find such a cheap house at the beginning, but when she cleaned up the family, he didn't think that he still had money.
"Such a yard depends on how much it occupies, as the girl said, it has to be more than half an acre, and such a house can't be taken without a hundred or two. Bao Zhi's father also wanted to persuade her, the cottage was replaced with a big house, first buy the kind of small building along the street, with a patio, thirty
You can get it if you come to two, and when you have money, you can change to a big house, rent the hut or sell it, it's all an input.
Shi Gui laughed: "I just came to find the uncle, is there a house owner who is willing to pay in installments?"
Bao Zhi's father was stunned when he heard it, and it was not for nothing that he bought and left, and divided it into two parts to give the money, but when he heard it, he knew that she scored several times, and the owner of which house would be willing.
Shi Gui calculated an account for him: "It's only divided into four times, the uncle will find such a landlord for me, and I am willing to make a contract, if I can't pay it in two months, half of the money paid in front of me will be given to the landlord as a compensation for the loss." As he spoke, he put the bamboo rice in his pocket and handed it to him.
Bao Zhi's father was a little difficult to do for a while, and the Chinese also had the rules of the Chinese people, and the small economy was waiting to take the lead, where would he be willing to take such a business, but Shi Gui had always dared to think about it, and sighed: "Maybe it can be done, I'll run and see for you." ”
Shi Gui smiled: "If it can't be done, it can't be done, I'll give you the same tea money, if it does, won't I move to a new house?" Baozhi's father thought that she could even think of the idea of delivering food in a food truck, maybe someone was really willing, and there was really a way to use some brains on the contract, and the payment was insufficient in two months, and only half of the money in front of me was refunded, maybe someone was really willing to sell.
If the owner thinks that he can't make up for the money, he can get half of the money, and it is not too difficult to make this deal, and he still looks at Shi Gui with admiration for it, such a young girl's family, looking at the delicate face and tenderness, but there are so many ideas in his heart, just looking at her business, it is not difficult to get thirty taels a month.
Shi Gui said that the house was decided, and went back to the dining car, the business was still the same, as soon as the meal on the ship was delivered, the principal of the day was back, and the retail sales were also sold quickly, and there were people who came over early to wait, when Shi Gui arrived, most of the rice was sold, the green calyx was still there, but Dafa was gone.
Green Calyx looked at her and pointed to a circle of people not far away: "I asked Dafa to go back and push a bucket of sour plum soup out, it's rare to see a storyteller on the dock, play the gong at this time, and there will be more people later." ”
Shi Gui saw that the white cloth hung on the "Reunion Story" was written, it was Lu Xian's new work, and the strange cloth banner had just been hung out, and some people were waiting to see it, afraid that they had just gotten off the ship from the port, so they would put up a stall and talk about it first, so as to save some money for food.
Shi Gui thought farther than Lu Calyx: "There are still a few meals, you keep them first and don't sell them, I'll go and see the storyteller with a few people, give them a meal, and let them add two words to us." ”
