Chapter 206: Still Poor
No matter where you mix, the first thing is to have a house, this is the consensus of Mo Qian and his two generations, and the landlord Lao Cai, who has been criticized by others in later generations, is a popular profession here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And Mo Qian wants to work hard in this direction, what is the big thing in the world, what does it matter to him, whoever wins the country, he doesn't want to be the same.
After breakfast, Mo Qian and Ting'er officially went out, saying that they were two people going out, but Qiu Cheng and others were indispensable to guard them, but they were all guarding far away, not so obvious.
Qiu Cheng and these people are also interested, looking at the relationship between Mo Qian and Ting'er, they know that this little maid is very likely to succeed in becoming their own hostess in the future, so they are very interested in leaving enough space for the two of them.
Not far from the downtown area, the two of them walked all the way. Mo Qian is handsome and chic, Ting'er is pure and lovely, and this way has attracted the attention of many people. Ting'er followed Mo Qian with her head down like a little daughter-in-law along the way.
However, she frequently looked around, for her who grew up in the Water Pavilion since she was a child, this place is also full of curiosity, the bustling capital is different from Jian'an Mansion, and it is also a new beginning for her.
But she still looked at her son-in-law from time to time, for fear that the other party would lose it.
Mo Qian looked at her a little funny, he didn't even have a girlfriend in his previous life, he was really single for twenty years, and he even used a maid here, not to mention that he now has an identity and reputation, as long as he says it, people in the capital who are willing to recommend pillows can line up on the street, which is really unpredictable.
"Don't look at it, your son-in-law can't lose it, if you're curious, just go and see it, it's not a big deal, anyway, we're not in a hurry." Mo Qian said with a smile, the time he was going to Guozijian was in the afternoon, and it was still early, so it didn't hurt to accompany Ting'er to walk around, after all, Mo Qian was very tolerant of the people close to him.
"Huh? It's not good ...... like this" Ting'er lowered her head, but Mo Qian saw the longing in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter, it's nothing anyway, you can just take it as a companion to my son."
Saying that, Mo Qian took Ting'er's hand and wanted to go to a small shop nearby that sold drinks, drinks, which are equivalent to the current drinks.
Of course, in the summer, the rich and noble can take out the ice cubes from the cellar and be able to taste the cold drink, which is almost the same as in later generations.
Of course, cold drinks can only be afforded by the powerful, and the royal family even has a special "palace" for storing ice, such as the "Ling Room" in the Qin and Han dynasties.
And in the middle of summer, there is also a grand ice-giving ceremony, giving ice to the minister of civil and military affairs to cool off, but these things are not enjoyed by ordinary people, just like the Song people wrote, "Chang'an ice and snow, to the summer, the price is equal to gold."
"Of course, it's autumn and winter, but there are no such troubles. There is a restaurant in front of it, and there is a rectangular wooden sign hanging under a large green cloth parasol, and the word "drink" is written on it.
"Childe......" Ting'er was stunned, and then took a step back.
"Huh?" Mo Qian was a little puzzled, but looking at the strange eyes of the people around him, he remembered something. In this place where the thinking is still relatively conservative, this action is really a bit excessive, but Mo Qian doesn't mind, smiles, and slowly withdraws his hand. "Let's go, let's go and see what's on offer here."
"Well, I haven't seen any of these things in Ning Yuan.
Walking to the vicinity of the small shop, Ting'er finally saw what was written on it, and there were really a lot of them, such as lychee paste water, five-flavor bitter water, river tea, and bayberry thirst water.
But you really can't underestimate the wisdom of people in this era, even in the previous life, there were not so many novel drinks, which dispelled Mo Qian's idea of wanting to make cold drinks to compete, even if they did, the taste of people in this era is not easy to adjust, and Mo Qian is not confident that they will be able to like milk tea or something.
But Mo Qian thought of another thing, and that was ice-making...... Ice is so expensive in the middle of summer, if you can make ice according to the method of your previous life, and then supplement it with the right price, then it will definitely be able to sell well.
Of course, the weather is slowly getting colder, and such thoughts are just a thought.
Mo Qian and Ting'er walked all the way to the store, and Mo Qian ordered two bowls of perilla drink.
Perilla drink is more popular in Daqi, perilla is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, warm and spicy, with the effect of regulating qi and blood, and not only in the development of Daqi in this thousand years, even in the ancient life of the previous life, perilla drink was also selected by a large number of imperial doctors as the title of "the first drink in the world", eating it, not only the whole body is very comfortable, the fragrant breath spreads in the mouth, and the whole person feels refreshed.
Mo Qian took a sip, it was really good, and he wanted to order something else, now he was full of curiosity about the things in the capital, these new things, even he had never seen them.
But at this time, Mo Qian caught a glimpse of a person, hanging a child, walking crookedly with a fan on his back, followed by a person dressed as a scholar, as the saying goes, what kind of person raises what kind of dog.
In fact, this sentence can be used even between master and servant, it is the result of hearing and seeing, Mo Qian is a little funny, who else can there be besides Guan Fan in this arrogant walking posture?
Having said that, if he can come over so arrogantly, then yesterday's events shouldn't have any effect on him, right?
Mo Qian hadn't called Guan Fan yet, but he himself saw Mo Qian sitting in the small shop. It was obvious that he was also here to find Mo Qian, "Hey, you're all right?" That's great, it looks like I didn't have to run last night. ā
Mo Qian is a bit of a pity, if he knew that Daqi's fans were so kind, there would be no need for him to run. But I saw Guan Fan crying with a sad face, "Big brother, don't say it, it took me a lot of effort to run out, and my pants were almost ripped off yesterday." ā
After a pause, Guan Fan didn't want to mention this sad matter, so he said instead: "Big brother, you are here, I went to the inn to look for you just now, but they said it, is there something wrong?" ā
"It's nothing, I just want to go out for a walk and find out what houses are nearby." Mo Qian said. "Big brother, do you want to buy a property?"
Guan Fan asked. "Well, it's not an option to live in an inn all the time, it's better to buy a property." "Did you find it?" Guan Fan was faintly puzzled, and his expression was a little strange, but then it dissipated.
"No, I don't have a clue yet." It is not so easy to find a yard in the capital of Nuoda, and it is all done through the people.
The so-called gentleman, in fact, is equivalent to the meaning of the intermediary in later generations.
But now Mo Qian didn't even know where their door was going, and now it was indeed a bit difficult. But Guan Fan on the other side slapped his thigh: "You said earlier, it's not easy to find a yard, you just need me to tell the people below to find it, where can you run around by yourself!" ā
Mo Qian was stunned, and now he remembered that the person opposite was a son of a family, and these things couldn't be simpler for them, maybe they secretly raised a Qingqi person outside and didn't dare to let the lady of the family know about it.
"Then this matter will bother you, brother Xian, and it just so happens that I am also troubled by this matter."
Mo Qian said happily. "How so? These things are just a gesture. Guan Fan said with a smile, and then asked people to quickly help Mo Qian check these things. Soon after, the man who had sent him out, and brought back an older man, who was old, but he could see in his eyes that he was a businessman who had been in business for many years.
"Childe, someone brought it, this person is a more skilled guy in the neighborhood, I think he should be able to find what Mo Gongzi wants." The old man smiled like a businessman's profession.
"But this boy wants to buy a yard? How big is it? ā
After asking Mo Qian's requirements in detail, the old man said: "There are many such yards in this vicinity, but this is a more prosperous area in the capital, so if you want to buy these houses, the price is ......."
"Just tell me, how much silver is it?"
"Probably this number ......" The old man stretched out five fingers and said with a solemn face, this is a big customer, and this number is not small, don't accidentally scare this master away.
"Five hundred?" Mo Qian breathed a sigh of relief, this number seems quite large, for ordinary people, even if it takes ten years, it is not a problem, but for Mo Qian, this is really not a problem, now he is also a person who owns thousands of taels of assets, in modern terms, it is the same as a multimillionaire.
I believe that in this era of low prices, there is no need to worry about food and housing.
So Mo Qian said confidently: "Okay, at this price, I won't bargain with you, let's just move in." The old man was in a cold sweat.
"No, no, no, what the little old man said is, five thousand taels, with all due respect, five hundred taels is in this place, and there is no house to buy at all."
Mo Qian twitched, it turned out that he had been doing it for a long time, he was still a little dx, whether in his previous life or in this life, he still thought that he was a rich man, and this money could buy many sets of real estate in Ningyuan, what kind of wife and concubine, little servant, what do you want, but in this place, you can't even afford a small courtyard.
This hurt Mo Qian's heart by 10,000 points, and he felt like a poor peasant who had worked hard to carry a sack of Annan Dun and returned to China, thinking that he could turn over in one fell swoop, but in the end, he only got a few lonely Grandpa Mao.
Such a gap is really shocking. Do you want to consider robbing a few more bandits, after all, the life of being an official is not easy now, like last night? Mo Qian said with a bitter face: "In that case, forget it first, and I'll look for it later." ā
"Wait, this, or the money for this house, I'll pay for it first." Mo Qian once again saw the arrogance of the children of the wealthy families in the capital, and five thousand taels of silver were smashed out directly without blinking an eye.
But Mo Qian politely refused, in this way, he was a bit of a parasitic fence, this is not what he wanted, he didn't believe it, he was a monster who was a man in two lives, with a lot of black technology, peerless poetry and songs, and an advanced world view, can't he still mix a suite in this world?
I don't even dare to meet those pioneers who have crossed over after I die! So no matter what Guan Fan said, Mo Qian just politely refused, and in the end, Guan Fan really couldn't resist Mo Qian, so he had to follow his wishes.
The matter of buying real estate was put aside first, Mo Qian planned to go to pit so many corrupt officials or something first, and then come back to buy a house, after a little thought, a plan came to mind. Mo Qian's heart was a little excited, as if a way to get rich was in front of him, and the 1040 project was beckoning to him! I can't wait to go back and start this project now.
"I don't know what happened to Xiao Fan, you came over? Otherwise, I'll have to go back first. ā
Mo Qian's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but say. "Slow, big brother, don't worry, I know that you don't remember anything about the capital because of your previous amnesia, so now it's equivalent to being unfamiliar with life, so I'm here today to take you to meet a few good friends."
Although they are not powerful people, they are sure to ask them about eating, drinking and having fun in the capital, and they are relatively well-informed, maybe there is something that can help them in the future! ā
"Huh?" Mo Qian looked at Guan Fan and fell into thought, Huaxia is a place that can only do things by relying on human favors, and the same is true of Daqi, which is similar to Huaxia, he can't go half a step without interpersonal relationships, unless he really has transcendent strength, but Mo Qian obviously doesn't have this strength, so he can only bow his head and be a man.
Well, try to make everyone in the capital ignore his existence, so that he can live this life in peace. Now Guan Fan wants him to get to know the people in the capital, which can actually be regarded as a manifestation of his own people, so Mo Qian naturally will not refuse his kindness.
Of course, Guan Fan's kindness is one aspect, but Guan Fan's disconnection is also another factor to consider. In short, this must not be taken with Ting'er, because if Guan Fan turns left and right later, he will directly lead them into a brothel, it will be difficult to say.
So Mo Qian asked Qiu Cheng and the others to protect Ting'er to walk around, while he himself followed Guan Fan to meet his friends.
As it turned out, Mo Qian's worries were not wrong, and Mo Qian was even suspicious, it must be because last night's events were not (to be continued. )
