012 Pick a house and stay together
"You came at the right time, because there are just a few families who want to sell their houses, one because they are in urgent need of money, one because they want to go back to enjoy their children, there are two families to rent out, three families to sell, of course, they are all outsiders, and they have lived in this Beiyan country for five years, or ten or twenty years. And their houses are not together, so the prices are not the same. "The master received them, because there are no cases in the government office, and there is no need to be promoted, so they are all idle, and when they are idle, it becomes his business to receive people who are registered and need to rent houses, because he still needs to make records.
"Then may I ask Master Wei, what is the price of a house in the downtown area? Is there a store that can be opened directly in the front, and then the backyard is far away from the front, or there is a two-story house? Zhan smiled and didn't beat around the bush, and directly said the type of house she wanted the most, as well as the meaning that she wanted to open a store.
"That's true, there are two houses, one for rent and one for sale. The rental house has only one floor, divided into a front yard and a back yard, there is a storefront in the front yard, and then there is a storeroom and kitchen in the middle, and there is a place where people can stay in the back, there are four rooms. The owner of this house said that the rent for a month is fifteen taels, although it seems very high, but if the business is doing well, fifteen taels is very cheap. Master Wei flipped through a few pages of the book, looked at the records inside, and replied with a smile.
"What does the other house look like? What is the price for sale? Zhan Xiaoyan asked another house directly, because that house was for sale, so of course she wanted to buy the house directly, but the price hoped not to exceed four hundred taels, and she had to have some silver left for the family to spend.
"The other house is a small two-story building, the first floor is the shop, the kitchen, and the warehouse, and the second floor is the left, right, and middle, a total of three rooms, and the price is four hundred and fifty taels. Originally, it was five hundred taels, but the old man in the original owner's family was seriously ill and needed to spend money on treatment, so he lowered it to fifty taels, and said that it would be four hundred and fifty taels, and it would not be cheaper anymore, so only those who were sure to buy it would let me bring it over! Master Wei didn't beat around the bush and said directly, because the meaning of the smile was also very clear.
"Well, what did this shop sell before? How many years has that shop been in Beiyan Kingdom? Zhan Xiaoyan knew it in his heart, but he still asked one more question, and he needed to determine some more things to understand the situation better!
"This shop originally sold tea, the shopkeeper's surname is Su, and it has been thirteen years since I came to Beiyan Kingdom. At the beginning, he was also a poor boy, but he didn't expect to open a store in less than three years, and then the business was good in the fourth year, and he married a wife and had children. Now he is going back, of course, with his wife and three children. So the things have already been packed up, and I will go back after selling the electricity store. Master Wei paused when he said this, and after observing the confusion that flashed in Zhan Xiaoyan's eyes, he continued:
"Then it stands to reason that he should not be short of silver, how can he still care about the four hundred and fifty taels? That's because the old man in the family is already very sick, and he can only rely on precious medicinal materials to support, he has sent back many centuries-old ginseng, good He Shou Wu, Tianshan Snow Lotus These medicinal materials, the old man has also been sick for more than two years, and he has been raising for more than a year! And it seems that the old man is no longer done, just like seeing her eldest son who came out in the early years, as well as her grandson and granddaughter! "Master Wei said very specifically, obviously because when Boss Su came to say that the store was for sale, he had also told him the specific situation.
"Well, then you can take me to see it now, if you can, I hope you can complete all the formalities today, so that I can have a place to live directly!" Zhan Xiaoyan thought about it carefully, and finally said to him.
Because four hundred and fifty taels is a bit expensive, and for her, it is also a little difficult, but she thinks that since the other party is in a hurry to go back, the bed and cabinet will definitely not be brought back, so she doesn't need to buy these, she only needs to buy paint again to repaint it, and it looks almost like new. She should be able to save this money, so she calculated, so that the price is actually about the same!
Back in the carriage, Zhan Xiaotian couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, shall we go to see the house now?" What kind of house is it? Remember my sister, you said you were going to open a store, so this store is the same as the place where we live? And sister, do you have enough money on you? Because the price of buying and renting is completely different, if the money is not enough, we can rent it first! Question after question, expressing his eagerness and doubt.
"You don't have to worry, the silver is enough. I remember that my sister has told you that my sister has sold a set of jewelry, and the price of that jewelry is enough for us to buy a house to live in. And if it weren't for my sister who was sure that the money was enough, she wouldn't have let Xiao Tong drive the car directly to the mansion, so you don't need to worry about these things, just know that we have to look at our own house in the future. Zhan said with a smile, reaching out and touching the heads of his three younger siblings one by one, his eyes were full of tenderness and relief.
"Okay, I got it! In the future, our family will live here, start our new life in Beiyan Kingdom, and the four of us sisters and brothers will always be together, so that's enough! Zhan Xiaoyu also nodded and said, and Zhan Xiaoning next to him also nodded with a smile. Yes, no matter where you are, as long as the family is together, it's enough, because where the family is there, it's home, no matter how big or small the house is!
