Chapter 46: Buying a Courtyard
Early the next morning, which was also the second day of the three days of Daqing, there were only two days left for Feng Yao, so he had to finish what he wanted to do within two days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Feng Yao took out the gold bars one by one and hid them in his arms, and the remaining wooden box was not big, not even a piece of clothing, but after thinking about it: "Whatever, maybe it will be developed in the future, and it seems to be good to be able to use it to hold jewelry or something." He threw himself into the baggage.
Then he called Chen Dao and was about to go to the market, when Yuan Ping happened to come back, and when he saw Feng Yao, he saluted and said, "Is the master going out?" ”
Feng Yao saw Yuan Ping's heart move, remembered Yuan Yi's entrustment, and said in his heart: "Yuan Ping's martial arts are mediocre, it is better to let him stay and manage the store in Puyang City, so that he can also bring his family to reunite as soon as possible, and for me, I can also be more assured, I believe that he will not do anything unfaithful to me." ”
"Yuan Ping, come with me too, I'm going to the city to do some things!" Feng Yaodao.
Yuan Ping was overjoyed, hurriedly changed into clean clothes, and everyone came all the way to the most prosperous market in Puyang City.
There were many more pedestrians in the city than yesterday, most of the shops were open to welcome customers, and the owners of some shops had no confidence in Puyang City, fearing that the war would enter the city again, and were eager to sell their properties, and the prices offered were surprisingly low, but even so, few people cared.
Walked through more than a dozen shops along the way, although the price was surprisingly low, but Feng Yao couldn't look at it, at this time a shop located at the intersection entered Feng Yao's sight, Feng Yao's eyes lit up, and when he walked forward, it turned out to be an inn! Although there were few diners inside, the proprietor did not post information about the sale.
"Third brother, what do you think of this store?" Feng Yaodao.
Chen Zhi looked left and right and said, "Big brother, the location here is good, but if he doesn't sell it, we can't do it!" ”
Feng Yao nodded and said, "I also think this shop is good, it's not far from the county guard mansion and the barracks, and the business can't be wrong!" Let's talk to the owner! ”
Walking into the inn, Xiao Er immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Please come inside the guest officer!" ”
"We have something to do with your shopkeeper, can you please ask him to come out." Feng Yaodao.
Xiao Er's face immediately changed, and he asked, "Don't you eat?" ......" But before Xiao Er finished speaking, a large handful of copper coins were placed in his hand, and Xiao Er immediately changed back to a smile ten times more than before: "Guest officer, please wait, I will go and ask the shopkeeper to come over!" It's just that my departure will affect the business......"
Feng Yao looked at the store, at this time there were three guests sitting on a table in the store, how could there be any business, smiled, understood what Xiao Er meant, and didn't care, he took a handful of loose money, didn't count it, put it directly in Xiao Er's hand, and said: "If it happens, I will reward you with some more!" ”
Xiao Er was overjoyed, although he didn't count how many, but with his years of experience, these two copper coins will not be less than two hundred Wen, which is not a month's salary for Xiao Er, now Xiao Er looked at Feng Yao's eyes full of admiration, after coming back to his senses, Xiao Er hurriedly put the rewarded copper coins into his arms, and bowed his hand to Feng Yao, "Thank you!" Then he ran merrily into the back room.
Not long after, Xiao Er came out with a middle-aged man in his forties and a calm temperament.
Xiao Er introduced: "The shopkeeper is these guest officers!" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, arched his hand, and said, "May I ask why you are here?" ”
"I want to buy this shop!" Feng Yaodao.
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "I'm sorry, this store doesn't sell!" Leave! After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, at this time Xiao Er hurriedly grabbed the corner of the shopkeeper's clothes and said: "Shopkeeper, this Puyang army is in chaos, let's go back to Donglai!" ”
"You——! Have you received money from others again? The shopkeeper said angrily.
Xiao Er was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying with a sad face, "Shopkeeper, don't be angry!" The little one doesn't dare anymore, and they gave me this money because they forced it on! I'll go back right away! ”
The shopkeeper sighed and said to Feng Yao: "Let you see the smile, it's not that I don't want to sell the store, it's just that I will never sell this store at a cheap price, looking at the three of them like they were born in the Shiwu, I don't think you can afford it!" ”
When Chen Zhi heard this, his face showed anger, and he said: "Don't judge people by their appearance!" You don't even say the price, how do you know that my eldest brother can't afford it? ”
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and after looking at Feng Yao for a while, he nodded and said, "In that case, please go to the inner room to talk, it's not convenient to talk here!" Then he shouted to Xiao Er, "This time, for the sake of these distinguished guests, I won't punish you, don't hurry up, I'm here to watch!" ”
Feng Yao followed the shopkeeper through several courtyards, and found that this place was several times larger than the outside, and at the back of the inn was a very large courtyard, with flowers and trees scattered inside, and nearly 100 rooms of various sizes, Feng Yao was more and more frightened the more he looked at it, but at the same time, he liked this place more and more.
The shopkeeper took a few people to a secluded small study, and then invited Feng Yao and the others to sit down, and said, "I offended you just now, please forgive me!" Our surname is Wang Mingsheng, a native of Donglai, Qingzhou. ”
Feng Yao arched his hand and said: "The shopkeeper of the king is polite, my surname is Feng Mingyao, the word Zimou, a native of Runan, Yuzhou!" ”
He also introduced Chen Zhi and said: "This is my righteous brother!" ”
Chen Zhi arched his hand and said, "Chen to, the word Uncle Zhi!" Yuzhou Runan people! ”
After everyone got to know each other, the shopkeeper glanced at the surrounding courtyards and pavilions, and said slowly: "I believe you have also seen a rough idea all the way, the shop in front is only a part of this courtyard, and if you want to buy a store, you must buy it together with this courtyard, and I only accept cash, not copper coins!" I wonder if Brother Feng can accept it? ”
"It's okay, please ask the shopkeeper Wang to make a price!" Feng Yao touched the gold in his arms through his clothes, and agreed, secretly worried, "I hope it won't be beyond my tolerance, or it will be too big!" ”
Seeing that Feng Yao agreed, Wang Sheng's face was much kinder, and he said: "Let me introduce first, this courtyard was originally a mansion, our master built this mansion many years ago for the local county, and after leaving office, he handed over this place to me to take care of, so there is an inn in front, Brother Feng, you may not know, the location of this inn is very good, and it can be a thousand dollars every day!" ”
Feng Yao pouted, will you still sell it if you earn a thousand dollars a day? Isn't saying these things just trying to sell at a high price? However, then again, if what Wang Sheng said was true, it was indeed shocking, Feng Yao thought that Wang Sheng was a wealthy businessman at first, but he didn't expect that he was just someone's servant!
"Shopkeeper Wang, let's get straight to the point and talk directly, how many taels of silver do you want to sell here?" Feng Yaodao.
Wang Sheng smiled, said well, stretched out five fingers, and said loudly: "Five hundred taels of silver!" Don't scatter the money! ”
Five hundred taels!
Feng Yao and the others took a sharp breath of cold air, I grass, this is too dark! An ordinary soldier's salary is only 200 copper coins a month, and only 2,400 wen a year! Five hundred taels, it will take more than 200 years to afford it!! If you exchange sixty taels of gold for silver taels, you can exchange them for six hundred taels of silver, but after buying this inn and courtyard, there are only one hundred taels of silver left, and if you open a store, the funds are a little tight.
Chen Zhi saw that Feng Yao was silent, so he said, "Big brother, why don't we take such a big risk, right?" It's better to buy more cheap stores and open a few more! ”
