"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to buy a restaurant to operate, Uncle Wu, is there a new yard to see"? Huang Shixin said that he really slept and met the pillow, in this case, maybe the restaurant can be reopened with a simple decoration.

Wu Mengda looked down again, put his finger on his tongue and licked it, dipped his saliva and turned another page on the booklet, "Master Huang, please wait", after speaking, he slowly moved his fingers to the bottom of the book, about 4 or 5 pages, and then said, "There is also a small courtyard in Jingdafang adjacent to this Xianta Street, with a total of three main rooms, four wing rooms, two single-storey stores, and a single door in Zhulin Lane, no need to enter and exit from the store, this price is not low, the landlord asks for 50 taels of silver."

So everyone followed Wu Mengda to go to see the house slowly.

Not far from Yishan, there is a Yishan alley, the Su Ji grocery store at the mouth of the alley used to place the incense, candles, paper money and other miscellaneous items outside the store every day, but today I saw from a distance that the grocery store seemed to be closed early, and the door of the store was closed. "Strange", Wu Mengda stroked his long beard and was a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, Uncle Wu, but the shopkeeper is not at home," Zhou Mingrui asked.

"There should still be people in his house, I'll knock on the door first", Wu Mengda explained to Huang Shi while walking forward, "Master Huang, don't look at this grocery store, but it relies on this Xilin Zen Temple, just this incense candle paper money every day can make a lot of money, but the shopkeeper and his cousin took a maritime merchant a few days ago, and as a result, the maritime merchant's ship met a pirate in the foreign ocean, and I heard that only a few guys escaped back, and even the shopkeeper lost his capital, so he had to sell the house here."

"Oh, I see, no wonder they want to resell the shop", Huang Shi only understood the reason after hearing this, because when they came over just now, they saw that there were grocery shops at the mouth of several alleys facing the street, and those incense, candles, paper money and groceries were placed in conspicuous places, and from time to time good men and women came to patronize, thinking that business was good.

"The shopkeeper of Su Ji heard that he came back from Nanyang Bo Ni more than ten years ago, named Su Minyou, he was a small merchant in his early years, he was not deceived by someone in the layman because of bad luck, or he met a road bandit, and he did not make any money in a few years. A few years ago, he took the money to Mr. Su as the capital, and let him buy a house at the mouth of this Yishan lane, which was specially converted into a grocery store, in addition to selling incense candles and papyrus, mainly selling his cousin's Nanyang spices, borrowing the incense popularity of the Linchan Temple in the west of Yishan, this business is getting better and better", Wu Mengda hopes to sell Su Ji shop out of the company, so he introduced the background of the shopkeeper in detail.

"The spices of the South Seas, but the pepper, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon?" Huangshi is a little strange, but I don't know why Lu Dao has anything to do with this Xilin Zen Temple. He is aware of the Tao because of the abundance of spices in the South Seas, so there will be Westerners who come across the ocean, I heard that this spice is still a luxury, the legend of the spices in the price of Oriental cabbage to the West raw fried into the price of gold, sometimes much more expensive than gold, sometimes a grain of pepper can be exchanged for a gold coin, I don't know whether the Tao is true or false, Huangshi had thought about it before, so to open up the route to Europe to sell this spice.

"Master Huang, the Su family mainly operates sandalwood, agarwood incense, swallow incense, Penglai incense from the Nanyang countries, as well as some medicinal rue, borneol, and Xinyi, and the edible spices are very few, saying that the edible spices of the Nanyang have long been covered by the Yi people of the Taixi countries, and the second is that naturally this price is not something that ordinary people in our dynasty can afford."

Huang Shixin said that it seems that these thirteen spiced braised goods can really be made, anyway, these things are cheap seasonings that can be bought casually at stalls in modern society, so he smiled and didn't speak.

Wu Mengda walked into the Yishan alley on the left side of the Su family's shop, walked to the small black door, grabbed the door knocker, and with the two sounds of "bang", the sound of the low door knocker hitting the door spread, and after a while, I saw that the door opened a small crack, and saw that it was Wu Mengda, and hurriedly opened the door, "Uncle Wu, you are old, please come in", after speaking, the man made a request.

"Su Er, why did your shop close so early today, Master Su is here now"? Wu Mengda stroked his long beard and asked.

Su Er's face was also a little sad, "My lord has gone out early today, and there is no news from my lord's cousin Master Chen, so my lord went to the Chen family to help." The miscellaneous items of spices, candles, etc., have also been transferred at a cheap price in the past two days, leaving only this empty shop."

"Oh, then I brought the buyer Mr. Huang to come to see the house today, and your lord is not here, how can this be good?"

"Uncle Wu, don't worry, my lord has already explained in the past two days, as long as you come, let the little one lead you to visit."

Wu Mengda knocked on the door just now and everyone didn't follow, but when they saw that the door had been opened, they all walked over slowly, Liang Er saw that the three leaders were all dressed in long robes, and a bunch of domestic servants were clustered behind him, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Wu and the three masters, please."

Huang Shi and the others followed Wu Mengda into Su's house, and found that the door was facing a blue brick shadow wall, about 3 meters high, more than 2 meters away from the door, the four sides of the shadow wall were separated by a large square frame with plaster, the edge of the frame was decorated with some vines, the middle of the frame was smoothed with white ash, and there was a big circle in the middle position, and the circle was written with a blessing word.

In front of the shadow wall is a small flower bed that is as long as the shadow wall, and there are some flowers and plants planted in the flower bed, which are not precious species, but they are neatly cleaned up, and there are no weeds in it.

"Master, this family is still quite elegant", the curtain looked at the blooming makeup of the wood hibiscus in this flower bed, lined with the simple blue brick shadow wall, quite elegant, and couldn't help but whisper praise.

"Yes, it's really rare for you to plant flowers and grass here", Huangshi has also been to a lot of people in Zhangcheng in the past few months, and found that although the pace of life in ancient times is slow, there are almost no small plants like modern people, this is the first time I have seen someone planting flowers and grass, maybe this is related to the small households he has been to before.

The courtyard of the Su family has two main rooms in the north, three east wings, and the west wing has been changed to a single-storey store facing the street, which is connected by a cloister under the eaves on three sides, the courtyard is very spacious, the southwest corner is a toilet, the kitchen is in the southeast corner, and a stone table and a few round stone chairs are also placed in the courtyard.
