Chapter 38: A pot of flowers for a house
The superb orchid is in front of him, but the manager is not in a hurry, anyway, he is going to decide on this orchid, and the rest is only a matter of price.
"Miss Xue, I don't know where you got this orchid?"
"This orchid was dug up by my father from the mountains two years ago, but it didn't bloom until yesterday, because the family was in urgent need of money, so it had to be sold.
Xue Wu said bluntly, and she didn't make so many twists and turns.
Steward Hu pondered for a while, and quoted the price: "Eight hundred taels, what does Miss Xue think?" ”
As soon as Xue Wu heard this price, she knew that she had obviously underestimated the value of this orchid, because judging from the gesture of the Hu Steward's quotation, this price obviously has a relatively large room for growth.
"Steward Hu, you must know in your heart that this price still has to be discussed, but I am not going to increase the price again, it is only eight hundred taels, but I have a small request."
Steward Hu: "You say." ”
The big butler gave him the bottom before, and anything less than two thousand taels could be taken down directly, and his psychological price was one thousand five hundred taels, so that at least five hundred taels could fall into his pocket.
Who knew that this Xue girl would really come down for eight hundred taels.
If her request is not excessive, it would be fine to agree. After all, after this transaction, he can make 1,200 taels!
"I want Steward Hu to exchange these eight hundred taels of silver for a mansion of equal value."
"This ......" Steward Hu couldn't help but hesitate, eight hundred taels were good to take out, but the mansion of comparable value was not so easy to take out.
"What if I don't say yes?"
Xue Wan smiled slightly, "Then I can only find another buyer." ”
As he spoke, he was about to take the orchid off the table.
Steward Hu hurriedly said, "Miss Xue, slow down." ”
He happens to have a small courtyard with two entrances under his name, the location is good, quiet in the middle of the noisy, the scenery inside is also very good, the business is quite convenient, and the surrounding people live in rich and noble families with small assets.
Originally, it was given to him by a wealthy businessman, begging him to have some relationship, and now there is an outer room he raises in it, and he usually likes to go there for one night when he has nothing to do.
Such a comfortable nest is far more than eight hundred taels, but one thousand six hundred taels.
This Xue girl said that she didn't bargain, but this method was far more ruthless than bargaining.
However, the orchid in front of him is really rare, if nothing else, the fragrance is unique enough, just smelling his chest seems to have been purified.
If you dedicate such a pot of treasures to the old lady, you can't say that you will be able to get the old lady's blue eyes!
Compared with the future, a house is insignificant.
Thinking of this, Steward Hu quickly made a decision, "Okay, does Miss Xue want to go with me to see the house now, or?" ”
Xue Wan: "For now, if you are not satisfied, you can refuse as soon as possible, so as not to delay the work of the Hu manager." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Steward Hu's mouth twitched.
Guan Yue took the initiative to offer: "Brother Hu, don't you mind if I also meet the world with the past, right?" ”
said that he was seeing the world, but in fact, he wanted to slap Xue Wu on the side.
Steward Hu's eyes slipped from him to Xue Wu, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, "Okay, then let's go." ”
Coming out of the teahouse, he beckoned the little guy over, approached him and gave him two commands, and the little guy walked away quickly.
The group came to Steward Hu's house in Qingyun Lane, Bajiao Street.
Octagonal Street is named after an octagonal well in the center of the street, the market well, in ancient times when there was no regular market, the well water was generally where the crowd gathered, the flow of people here was large, all kinds of vendors would sell their goods here, and over time, a commercial street was naturally formed here.
Up to now, Bajiao Street has become the financial and commercial center of the county, and its bustling and prosperous degree is eye-popping.
However, turning into Qingyun Lane, this residential area is very clean, and only the hustle and bustle outside can be faintly heard.
Because of the Hu steward, Xiao Yan came over in advance and told him, and the lady in the outer room he kept here had already waited in the hall first, and when he saw the group coming in, he ordered his subordinates to serve tea and snacks.
Just came from the teahouse, Xue Wu was not thirsty, picked up the teacup and put it down after dipping her lips slightly, and the Hu steward immediately understood: "Miss Xue, I'll take you around the house." ”
Xue Wu stood up like a stream, and Pei Lin also stood up, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, and the pot of orchids was contained in the bamboo basket.
The house is not very big, but it does not look cramped, everywhere looks exquisite, the orientation is good, most of the room, especially the master bedroom, is very light and bright.
Xue Wu read it once and was very satisfied.
"Miss Xue, what do you think?" When the group returned to the hall, the Hu steward inquired about Xue Wu's tone.
Xue Wu didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "This house is good, I like it very much." ”
Next, it is a hand-to-hand delivery.
The so-called people in the DPRK and China are easy to handle, from getting the deed to going through the transfer procedures, because of the arrest of the head of the relevant pass, the officials in the county government are very efficient, and it was completed in less than half a day.
If you change to an ordinary person who has nothing to do with it, I'm afraid it will take at least ten days and a half months.
Steward Hu got the orchid, and Xue Wu got the deed, and both parties were very satisfied.
Because he was in a hurry to get the orchid back to Ye Mansion, Steward Hu didn't delay much, "If Miss Xue has any flowers and plants to sell next time, just come to my old Hu." ”
Xue Wu smiled and responded, but she didn't plan to raise and sell flowers as her main business, after all, it is rare to cultivate a superlative, if you can cultivate it often, isn't it a heart to arouse suspicion?
Steward Hu took the orchid and sat in a sedan chair and went home, leaving Xue and the three of them in the same place.
"Guan Zhutou, thank you so much this time, it's noon, I'll treat you to a meal."
This time when she came to the county seat, in addition to selling flowers, there was actually another matter, this matter also needed to trouble the head of the Guan Catcher, even if she didn't happen to meet him at the city gate, she planned to find him.
Guan Yue didn't refuse, and responded quickly: "Okay." ”
Xue Wu: "Do you have any recommendations for Guan Zhutou?" I'm not familiar with this place either. However, don't save me money, I can still afford a meal. ”
Guan Yue couldn't help laughing, "Then let's go to Yingxian Tower, this family's crystal elbow and lion head are very good." By the way, Miss Xue, don't call me Guan Zhu anymore, I'm older than you, how about making you a 'big brother'? ”
Xue Wu immediately changed her words: "Okay, Brother Guan, let's go to Yingxian Tower, you lead the way." ”
Passing by a candy man stall on the way, Pei Lin couldn't help but be attracted to attention, he didn't have a chance to see these ordinary things in the market in the palace.
Along the way, he followed Xue Wan's advice and tried his best to play a tool man who didn't talk much, but whenever he saw those interesting things, he couldn't help but burst with brilliance in his eyes.
Xue Wu noticed that she looked at him and saw that it was a candy seller's stall, so she said to Guan Yue to wait a minute, and simply led him over and asked him, "What do you want?" ”
