Chapter Seventy-Eight: Moving
Back at Saijia, the price was quickly negotiated.
The price offered by the eldest lady was two hundred taels. Xia Shang had no objections, because he didn't know how to measure the prices in ancient times, but he felt that after spending two hundred taels, he still had one thousand eight hundred taels left, and the remaining money was quite sufficient to supplement the follow-up expenses.
After paying the money and getting the title deed, the house I just looked at is considered my own.
Xia Shang had to worry about the next things, he had to find workers for renovation, he had to think of his own layout design in the hall, and he had to only purchase and purchase a lot of things, as well as future marketing methods, etc., all of which had to be planned by himself.
Fortunately, Sang Sang was a warm-hearted person, and after knowing Xia Shang's plan, he didn't care about the Sai family's work, and went out to find workers for Xia Shang in a hurry.
Now finding workers to renovate is the most important thing, and it is much easier for Xia Shang after Sang Sang took over this most urgent matter.
Back in the bedroom, Xia Shang began to plan when to move over, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he should not stay in Sai's house for a long time, so he made up his mind to leave the next day. Although the old house is a little dilapidated and messy, it is at least my own home.
The gold and silver nests are not as good as their own kennels. This sentence is very reasonable, since the moment he got the deed, Xia Shang has been unstable in Sai's house.
Thinking that he was going to move tomorrow, Xia Shang got up to pack his things, but found that he had nothing to pack at all.
Just when he was bored and idle, there was a knock at the door.
Outside the house, Qin Lan changed into an autumn coat with white flowers on a blue background and stood quietly outside the house.
"Xiao Lanlan?" Looking at Qin Lan, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Xia Shang's mouth.
Qin Lan also smiled: "Husband, please." ”
"Master Saikang?" Xia Shang was slightly puzzled, and then followed Qin Lan's steps.
Qin Lan walked in front, her steps were steady and orderly, and she never looked back all the way, until she was almost in Saikang's room, Qin Lan turned around and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you are leaving the Sai family?" ”
Xia Shang nodded.
"Found the right place?"
"I have already negotiated with the eldest lady and bought the old house in the middle of the small street opposite Saijia."
Qin Lan's eyes flashed with a rare glimmer of brilliance: "You mean it's just across the street?" ”
"Yes. In the future, if Xiao Lanlan needs help, she will take two steps and come over and say it. ”
"Yes." Qin Lan responded crisply, and her tone was obviously more cheerful than before.
The two of them didn't say anything more, and pushed the door into Saikang's room.
This time when I entered the Saikang room, it was obviously different from before, not only the smell of medicine faded for a long time, but the windows were all open, the lighting here was very good, and the ventilation was ventilated on all sides.
Now the room is transparent and bright, and there is no way to connect with the previous appearance.
Xia Shang was looking around, and Sai Kang in the room pulled him down to the edge of the bed and sat down, and asked anxiously, "Xia Shang, I heard that you are leaving the Sai family?" Is it true? ”
"Really."
"Oops!" Sai Kang exclaimed with a look of regret, "Why do you want to leave?" Are they treating you badly? If you have been wronged in the Saijia, just tell me, young master, I will administer justice to you. ”
"It's not."
"Don't you think the wages are not enough? Young master, I'll give you a raise, and you can say as much as you want. ”
Looking at Sai Kang's sincere face, Xia Shang couldn't help but wonder, his relationship with this young master had been so good?
"Oh, young master, you think too much, it's not that the Sai family treats me badly. It was my own decision to leave, and it was none of anyone's business. ”
Saikang was even more anxious: "Then why do you want to leave?" ”
Xia Shang asked rhetorically, "Why is the young master so nervous?" ”
"This ......," Sai Kang paused, then lowered his voice, "If you leave, who will take me out?" The ...... of Reiharuin What's that name? The girl who sang the song is still waiting for me! What should I do if you're gone? ”
Xia Shang was still a little moved, but when he heard this, he almost didn't let Xia Shang squirt out a mouthful of old blood, and said in his heart that he didn't care about me for a long time, but about the girl in Lichun Courtyard!
Looking at Saikang's appearance, Xia Shang couldn't help but laugh: "Young master, if you want to go out for a walk, you don't necessarily have to walk with me, your feet grow on yourself, you can go wherever you want." ”
"But ......"
Although Sai Kang did not explain the reason, his tone was obviously a little timid.
"Young master, a person who is not even afraid of death is afraid to go out alone, and I am afraid that it will make people laugh when I say it."
"This ......"
"Young master, I still have something to do, even if I am not in the Saijia in the future, when you figure it out, you can come to my shop and sit down."
Sai Kang didn't say anything more, and then Xia Shang took his leave.
In the afternoon, Sangsang brought back the good news, and the renovation workers found it, and they will go to the old house early tomorrow morning to investigate, and the next thing is to negotiate the price.
The day passed quickly with a lot of anticipation.
In the early morning of the next day, the eldest lady personally accompanied Xia Shang to move to the old house.
Yesterday, the wicked woman's family was quite knowledgeable, and they really cleaned the house according to Xia Shang's requirements, and the hole in the wall was also tightly sealed, but the residual smell of chickens and ducks did not disappear, and the smell was disgusting.
As soon as the eldest lady entered the room, she covered her nose and wrinkled her brows with disgust: "This ...... What is it? How can there be such a smell in the house? ”
The workers who contacted yesterday were waiting at the door before dawn, they were all familiar with it, and they knew that the women of large families had a lot of words, and they had already prepared. A flat-headed boy grinned and pointed to the grain grass they brought: "Madam, this is a small problem, burn the grain grass, the smoke is thick, and there is no smell for half a day." It's just that such an old house still needs to be renovated? ”
When these workers first saw the house, they thought it was strange, it seemed that such an old house would not be renovated, and they would either live in it or tear it down and rebuild it, which was cheaper than renovating.
Because there are many dangers in renovating old houses, such as replacing the beams, it is necessary to insert temporary beams and columns in the place to stabilize the house, and then remove the old beams, and then fill in the new ones to reinforce. The whole process is not completed by one or two people, and the labor cost is several times more, so the cost is quite large.
Moreover, the renovation of the old house needs to consider a lot of details, although the construction period is not long, but the complicated process leads to many workers are unwilling to do it, and the money charged is naturally high. Generally, people renovate parts, such as a kitchen, a warehouse or something, and rarely hear people say that the house will be completely renovated.
Xia Shang didn't explain much to the workers: "You just do what I say, how much money does it cost." ”
The workers didn't say much when they saw that Xia Shang had made up his mind, and when they came, they didn't know the complexity of the house, and they didn't want to do it when they thought of completely renovating it, so the foreman at the head secretly glanced at Xia Shang, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Seven hundred taels of silver, don't do anything less." ”
"Deal."
