Chapter Seventy-Six: Viewing the House
The time has passed, and the lights have not yet been turned off in the eldest lady's room.
"Xia Shang, it's so late, why did you come to me?"
In the room, the eldest lady walked out from behind the screen with her eyes blurred, covered with a cloak, and her thin clothes looked a little shrunk in the night breeze that penetrated into the room.
"Madam, I heard that there is an abandoned house across the street from Saijia."
"Across the street?" The eldest lady was thoughtful, "An abandoned mansion? Oh! You mean......"
The eldest lady suddenly remembered, her eyes fell on Xia Shang and became puzzled: "How did you know?" ”
"This ......"
The eldest lady waved her hand: "That's it, it's not a secret." Since you're asking, you must be interested in that land, right? ”
Xia Shang nodded again and again: "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered Mrs. so late." Saijia is also kind to me, I think if I can open a restaurant near Saijia, the two families can take care of each other in the future. Don't say anything else, if the eldest lady wants to be useful to Xia Shang in the future, just say it, Xia Yi will not refuse. ”
"It's good that the two families can take care of each other. But the house is really old, and I don't tell you because I don't think you like it. ”
"It's okay to be old, it's a big deal to renovate it."
"Renovation?" The eldest lady frowned, "Renovation is more expensive than buying a piece of land!" Are you really planning to renovate? ”
"I don't have any friends in Chang'an, and I have been taken care of by the eldest lady recently, so I naturally hope to be next to the eldest lady in the future. So I'd rather spend a little more money and find a good location, right? Since the eldest lady agrees to sell, can you tell me about the specific situation of the house? ”
"To be exact, it should be called a storefront. The back house is very small, and it used to be used to open a restaurant. Because the hotel is not on the main street, there are very few people on the side street, so the business of the hotel cannot be done. Later, the owner of the store seemed to have something and needed money urgently, so he sold it to our family at a low price. But since then, the house has not been passive, and it is estimated that it has been left for five or six years, and more specifically, I have to go and see it myself. ”
"Good!" Xia Shang was overjoyed, "Madam, then I will leave first, and I will go to see the house early tomorrow morning." ”
Now Xia Shang finally understands what is wrong with the few houses he saw before, and he has always been unable to let go of the Sai family, whether it is the Sai family or the woman of the Sai family, he is always worried. Now that I can find a store very close to Saijia, the worries in my heart will be solved, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
The next day, Sang Sang heard that Xia Shang was going to see the old house across the street, and volunteered to lead the way for Xia Shang.
There were very few pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and the morning breeze was still so pleasant, and Sang Sangmai walked in front in a hurry, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood today.
"I'll tell you, the old house is a little old, and everything else is fine. I heard that during the Sui Dynasty, there was a military department in it! I don't know why it became a hotel? The neighbors are honest people, there is a rouge shop next to it, there is an old lady on the opposite side to make cloth shoes are very good, and the small noodles next door are also delicious. ”
Sang Sang chattered non-stop, and he didn't notice the handkerchief in his arms when he threw it out.
Xia Shang was also in a good mood, shaking his head and walking over to pick up the handkerchief: "The biggest advantage is that it is close to the Saijia, you can come over to eat at any time, right?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Sang Sang, who was walking in front, froze and muttered shyly: "It's not what you said, it was originally ...... The old house was pretty good. ”
Xia Shang stepped forward with a handkerchief, and when he was about to hand it over to Sang Sang, he found that the handkerchief was crumpled together, and it seemed to be wrapped in something.
Xia Shang subconsciously flipped it open, and this action happened to be discovered by Sang Sang, and the little girl pounced in shock: "Don't look!" ”
But it was still too late, and the yellow fine powder in the handkerchief made Xia Shang dumbfounded: "What is this?" ”
At this time, Sang Sang rushed up, snatched the thing back, and then carefully wrapped the handkerchief and put it in his arms: "I won't tell you!" ”
Xia Shanghu looked suspiciously, found that there was still some residue in his hand, and quietly sniffed it, he already knew what it was, looked up at Nizi in front of him, and the kindness in his eyes seemed to be even stronger.
Take out the old house and the Saijia is really close, from the main entrance of the Saijia, to the opposite side of the street, walk to the left twenty or thirty steps into a small street, the middle of the small street is where it is, it only takes less than two minutes.
There are many similar small streets in Chang'an City, which are no more than four meters wide. On one side is the courtyard wall of a large family, and on the other side is a private house.
The old house of the Saijia family is also facing the courtyard wall of several large households, and there are often small traders who set up stalls against the courtyard wall, and the side where the old house is located is a private house, and there are people who buy all kinds of things, including those who sell pen and ink, rouge, noodles, and bamboo baskets. Much like a modern pedestrian street.
The whole street is about 300 meters, there is no name, except for the old house of the Sai family, all the other houses are inhabited, it does not seem to be remote, but very lively.
It's been a long, long time since anyone has come to see this old house, and today Sang Sang brought Xia Shang to open the door, which attracted some better attention.
The old house is not as old as expected, at least there is not as much dust on it as expected.
Sang Sang was about to open the door with the key, when a woman in her thirties and forties behind her suddenly called: "Hey, where did you come from?" What are you going to do there? ”
Sang Sang was confused: "This is not your home, what are you asking for?" Didn't you see me with the key? If it's not the owner here, can I watch the door? ”
The woman had nothing to say, but muttered in a low voice, "I haven't been here for many years, why did someone suddenly come?" If you want to go in, you can wait. ”
"Wait?" This time, Xia Shang couldn't understand it, and said that it had nothing to do with her half a dime, so what was she waiting for?
Before she could figure it out, the woman was already twisting her ass and walking away.
Sang Sang tiptoed to look at both sides of the street, and found that the woman lived next door, and after thinking for a while, he felt bored, and muttered, "Mind her, open the door!" ”
Soon, the door opened.
But the first thing I saw when I opened the door was a flock of chickens and ducks!
The big and small, male and female, are all mixed together, chirping and calling non-stop, and it is very noisy. What's worse is that the smell of chicken poop and duck feces is enough to smoke people to death.
It's a two-story building, and the ground floor is full of chickens and ducks, and the ground is full of chicken and duck feathers in addition to feces, and their food is everywhere.
The scene in front of them really stunned Sang Sang and Xia Shang, and said in their hearts, what is going on? Is this still a house? It's clearly a chicken farm!
"This ......"
Xia Shang looked at Sang Sang, Sang Sang was so angry that his eyes were red, and he thought to himself what if the man around him was not satisfied and didn't buy this house? Can it still be sold now?
"I ...... I...... I'm going to slaughter all these chickens and ducks! ”
Sang Sang snorted at the top of his voice, found half a rusty tongs out of nowhere, and rushed into the house with murderous vigour.
In an instant, the demons in the old house of the Sai family danced wildly.
