Chapter 25 Renting
There are many inns in Liyun City, because it is a border treaty port, and there are many people living in any store. Lin Yu and Daquan chose a decent inn, opened the room, and entered the house together.
"Big sister, what are you going to do next?" On the road just now, Daquan just chatted with the third child, and did not discuss these issues with Lin Yu, after all, family ugliness cannot be publicized. Now that I am in the inn, I have to face this problem.
Lin Yu took off his shoes and went to the kang, and covered his feet with a quilt. It was just freezing in the car, but now it is the end of autumn, and it is very cold after the sun goes down, but fortunately, the kang in this inn is hot.
"Big brother, let's sit on the kang too." Lin Yu sighed, didn't answer Daquan's question, but said softly: "I was at home just now, which made my eldest brother embarrassed." β
"Your sister-in-law beat you at noon?"
Lin Yu nodded.
"Alas!" Daquan wanted to explain for Sun, but Sun's did go too far, and he couldn't explain anything.
"Now that it's out, don't think about those things."
"I know." Lin Yu responded, "I plan to rent a house first, and then research to see if there are any small deals I can do." β
Daquan let out a "hmm" and opened the bag next to him, revealing the two hangings of money inside. It turned out that the reason why he came out later than Lin Yu was because he took the money.
"Big sister, this is for you."
Lin Yu was stunned, "Big brother, you areβ"
"You're out there alone, you have to spend money."
"Big brother-" Lin Yu was a little moved, two hangs of money is not a small amount. Rural families, self-sufficient, have very few opportunities to make money. And in two years, Taifu should be married, there is no five hanging money, and there is no daughter-in-law at all, so this money is especially precious to the whole family. "I still have money, big brother, you better take this money back!"
"What's polite to your eldest brother? If you take it, you will take it! β
"That sister-in-lawβ"
"You don't have to worry about her! You deserve the money. Just because she doesn't give it to you doesn't mean I don't know. I was planning to buy you some jewelry or something when you got married, but for now, you should spend it first! Besides, if you want to do business, you have to pay more money and be more sure-footed, so don't shirk! β
In fact, this is the case in the north, the man is the "number one" in the family, and all the big and small affairs and money in the family are in charge of the man. It is only natural that Sun does not care about money. It's just that Lin Yu was curious about how Daquan took out the money, and the Sun family actually let it.
"Also, I thought about it on the road just now, and you don't have anything else to make a living, so you just keep making dim sum and selling it, and you won't do it at home in the future."
If Lin Yu's heart was surprised and moved when he said to give money, then this time, Lin Yu was shocked.
Just in the car, she thought about what to do with her business, making pastries is one of her hobbies, one of her favorite spare times in modern times. She felt that if she also made snacks, she would definitely cut off the wealth of her eldest brother's family. I thought about it a few times, but I was denied by myself, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to take the initiative to give up the pastry.
"If you don't make dim sum, won't there be one less input at home?"
"This recipe was originally yours, why is the eldest brother still taking possession of it now? The eldest brother has hands and feet, and if he makes more things, it will be enough for the family to eat, and he can also sell furs, and the family will make some income every year, so you don't have to worry. "Daquan Dao.
"Thank you, big brother." Lin Yu lowered his head and said softly.
"Family." Daquan patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said.
Early in the morning of the second day, Daquan took Lin Yu and began to look for a house to rent. After inquiring about the streets and alleys, I searched for most of the day, and finally found an independent small courtyard in an alley on the main street. The houses are contiguous and connected to many homes, separated by a wall more than a meter high. The yard is small and the house is small. There is a small partial building in the yard where tools are placed, a total of four square meters, and there are tools for sweeping the yard and some chopped wood. And the whole house is as big as the big house of Daquan's house, separated by the outhouse and the inner house. There is a large cauldron in the outhouse, and the inner room is a kang connected to a low fire wall, and people can sit at the fire wall. There was also a large box in the house, which was placed on the ground, and below it was the legs of a wooden shelf, which was just right for shoes. Lin Yu didn't have many things, just a few sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes, and he couldn't even fill the bottom of the box.
The landlord's surname is Shen and he lives next door. Brought a set of luggage to Lin Yu from home, Lin Yu refused, she was always unaccustomed to strangers' things.
Rent is still relatively expensive here. Liyun County has frequent population exchanges, and a single house like Lin Yu is the favorite of businessmen, so it costs a rent of 150 wen per month. Pork is only ten pennies a pound, and this month's rent can buy fifteen catties of pork, Daquan is a bit staggering. Lin Yu didn't care about that, and discussed with the landlord to pay two months' rent first, and then pay the whole year at the end of the year.
The two families set up a note, and Daquan accompanied Lin Yu to the street to buy luggage, locks and other supplies, and sent them to the house, and then proposed to go back to Linjiagou.
"It's getting dark, and the eldest brother is going back."
"You're fine, so I'm not going to stay. I left my house in a hurry yesterday, and if I don't go back today, my family will have to be anxious. I know where you live, and I'll come back to see you someday. Daquan said.
Lin Yu also knew that it was not easy for Daquan to do such a journey for himself, so he nodded and sent Daquan away.
When I had cleaned up my room, it was dark. Fortunately, it was relatively hot on the kang, and Lin Yu lay on the kang, and finally felt that this life was much more solid. There is no stumbling with the Sun family, so he is quietly alone. In modern times, she enjoyed being alone, and now she is finally back on track.
However, early the next morning, the difficulty of living alone became apparent, and that was the draft. There is only one well in the whole alley, and you have to go out and walk twenty or thirty meters to get there. If you want to hire a landlord to carry water, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is not the case to let people carry water into the house for a long time. Gritting his teeth, Lin Yu could only pick up the bucket and go to fetch water by himself.
Before she had eaten in the morning, the rocking wheel exhausted her to death, and after carrying two buckets of water, she was so tired that she almost collapsed there. Draught is definitely a big problem, because if you want to make pastries in the future, you will only use more water, and you will definitely not be able to do it.
In the end, I had to communicate with the landlord, dig a deep pit in the yard, put the large vat in it, and put a lid on it. In winter, cover it with straw curtains and quilts, and you will not be afraid of freezing. The landlord is responsible for filling the tank with water in the yard every day, and when the rain is used, scoop the water into the basin and bring it into the house. It's a bit more difficult, and I have to pay an extra 50 yuan a month, but I finally solve this biggest problem.
On the third day, Lin Yu was just about to go out to buy something to make snacks, when he saw a tall horse, pulling a gorgeous carriage, coming towards him, and the one sitting in front of the car turned out to be Daquan.
