Chapter 19 In real life, everyone has to think about money
After coming to this world, I haven't cared too much about money, at the beginning it was because of the lack of personality memory, I didn't have much experience, and I didn't know that a penny was difficult for a hero. And then there were too many things that followed, and I didn't have time to think about them, and I didn't use the money I picked up from some corpses very well.
After being shocked, I thought that I should have some odd and bits of money, locked in the locker in the officer's dormitory, where there were still my old clothes, and the cork shoes that I bought at the very high price at the time. These possessions should be able to support the two of them for a while, but it will be difficult to say after a long time...... This is the secret of borrowing money with Tahi Yuan the day before yesterday - let not let him think that he wants two people to live, so he is financially embarrassed and needs help. And now it's a real need for help.
People who become high-ranking officials will not be too deeply entangled in other people's private affairs, so there is no need to explain why a person from another world who has only been here for more than 20 days suddenly has an extra follower by his side. If you really need to explain, Yu Youzi is also ready to say that Tahi is his "sword attendant", or simply explain it as an entourage or something, and it is normal to have one or two followers and maids around him.
From the moment you arrive at the portal, you can really feel the gap between the cities, Willmüller is worthy of being a royal capital, and the scale of the buildings is not comparable to that of Kakral City. This is mainly related to the development of the business, the degree of attention, if the Duke of Erafahan has always made the city of Kakral his county capital, to this day, it should not be worse than Widhelmüller.
Tell Tahi that she still has some personal wealth, plus her savings, she can last for a while, and as for the future financial resources, settle down first...... There are a lot of rental carriages outside the portal, and most of the public carriages waiting are going to the Fan District and the Carré District, and there are very few people who go out of the city and go to the urban areas of Liver and Ondok, and those two urban areas are where the rich and upper-class people live, and the upper-class people who live there have special horse-drawn carriages to pick them up, and the most is called a rental carriage, but there are still a large number of servants and retinues in the upper class, and they travel mostly by public carriages.
In order to save money, Yu Youzi and Tahi Yuan stopped taking a private rental carriage, got into a roofless public carriage that was soliciting customers, threw the salute on the side shelf of the carriage, and drove leisurely towards the city of Kalei. There were already four people in the carriage, dressed in plain clothes, men in short shirts and women in skirts, no one spoke, sitting opposite each other in the narrow carriage that could touch their knees, looking sideways at the street around them.
To be honest, it is a very embarrassing thing to do this kind of carriage that has to sit face-to-face with people, which makes Yu Youzi can't help but recall the subway, light rail and buses on the earth. Tahidi looked very comfortable.
"This inn looks good. As the carriage passed through a built-up area beside a grove of trees, Tahidi spoke.
Yu Youzi looked up, it was a big store that looked clean, the wooden structure looked very old, and there was a small billboard at the door, with the name of the store and the business items written on it, and there were charges for accommodation and food. When the carriage drove by, both of them only had time to take a quick look, and the specific price of the charge was not clear.
"Aren't we going back to the inn you rented the day before yesterday?" asked Yu Youzi.
"That shop is okay, but the bed always smells musty......"
"That's because of the orientation of the room, it shouldn't be so humid in the sunny season. It's just that if you want to change to a hotel, then change it. "Anyway, what you can use now is your savings, and I don't know how many days I can last if I am more than sixty or seventy papa.
At this time, a woman in the same car suddenly said: "Are you two looking for a place to live? Why don't you come to my house, my building doubles as a rental house?" ”
Yu Youzi and Tahi looked at her, this woman looked more like a spiritual big sister, she must have been a beauty when she was young, but now her face was wrinkled.
"Let's talk about the price first?" said Tahi with a smile.
Yu Youzi's heart was filled with a sense of disgust, slightly surprised, carefully distinguished, and found that this disgusted emotion came from the personality of "me", when living on the modern earth in the previous life, all kinds of sales pyramid schemes were mixed with pit abduction, and there were piles of salesmen who rushed up to send this and that when they went out on the road, the travel was even more incredible, it was simply to see the salesman instead of the scenery, and even at home all kinds of sales and fraudulent calls disturbed people without a moment of peace...... The deep aversion to this kind of active sales gradually formed the habit of "I" not buying what the other party sells, even if I need it......
That's me and not me, this kind of situation of fusion and even replacement of two personalities is what Yu Youzi is trying to avoid now, and being affected by the habits of "previous life" itself makes him very uncomfortable, after a period of entanglement in his brain, he inadvertently recalled the poem, and gently chanted one of the sentences: Who is me after I am born......
"Hmm, what are you talking about?" asked Tahi Yuan, who was sitting on her knees with Yu Youzi, who was talking to the woman sitting next to her about the price, but she didn't hear Yu Youzi muttering quietly, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the price, so she asked.
"It's nothing, you've negotiated the price?"
Tahijin: "If you stay for a short time, you will have one carley a day, and if you have three meals, you will have to add twenty times a day." ”
That is, forty-five times a day, the price is very expensive for ordinary people, but the public hotel in the Carley district is basically a price, two times a day. Part-time rentals are generally small private buildings on the street, different from specialized hotels, they are actually ordinary houses, divided into a house as a guest room, if you look for it, you can find a very good private house, it is very suitable for permanent residence, and the price of permanent residence will be more favorable.
Yu Youzi drove the disgust brought by his previous life out of his mind, this other world has not yet entered the era of deformed monsters like finance, although all kinds of fraud must exist, but professional sales should not have produced such a thing, after all, even advertising is limited to newspapers and periodicals: "What is the price of permanent residence?"
The woman clapped her hands happily and said, "Our family has just vacated a room, and if the two of us can rent it for more than a year, we will have three meals a day." ”
Tahi understood the meaning of Yu Youzi's words—he might have to stay in Karelian for a long time, so he had to make long-term plans for where she lived, so that he would have to have a snack for himself: "How big is the room, does it have a separate toilet and bathroom?"
"Only the big hotel here in the city of Karré has Shijing water supply. The woman said.
Yu Youzi didn't understand the meaning of her words, but Tahi nodded clearly, and then explained to Yu Youzi, a person from another world: there are two ways to supply water to the inhabitants of this world: natural water comes from the inhabitants of this world, and stone crystals make water - water is drawn through water channels or wells, which is the main means of obtaining water for the poor people living in Fan District, water is obtained through water channels, which is the water source of Kalei and part of the city of Liver, and water is obtained through stone crystals engraved with water creation techniques, which are the domestic water of the upper classes.
After recalling it, whether it is in the Muli Wood City Denghel Le Duluo Building or the King Capital Meize Wenduluo Building, the water must be made by magic, and there is also a hot water supply of thirty-six grids around the clock, so I think it is also a stone crystal for some kind of heating purpose. For large households, the cost of boiling hot water is actually a small amount of money, but it is still very difficult to supply it all day.
The woman listened to the girl introduce Shi Jing's water supply to the black-haired young man opposite, and she only thought that the young master of the big family had little knowledge, and only thought that the water was originally from herself...... Is this pair a young man who eloped out from a large family? That is a big guest who must be won over, and hurriedly grabbed Tahi Yuan's words and helped explain: "Our family draws its own well water, and there is no independent bathing room, which is public. ”
"How big is the room?"
The woman glanced at the carriage, which was just the size of six people seated: "There are four carriages the size of this carriage, and it is a little small to live two people, but there is a suspended ceiling cabinet, and it is no problem to put down your salute." ”
Only the size of four carriages? Yu Youzi glanced at it, this is only enough space for a bed, only to provide a place to sleep, more than twice as small as the hotel room where Tahi lived the day before yesterday, no wonder the price at the beginning was only one carley, and the permanent residence was only thirty times.
Yu Youzi looked at Tahi Yuan, she would live for a long time in the future. When the chestnut-haired girl heard the size of the room, she also furrowed her slender eyebrows, and hesitated for a moment.
The woman, knowing that her house had no appeal other than its price, did her best to describe the advantages of the room: "My house is relatively secluded, with few carriages passing by, and I sleep peacefully at night...... My family is very good at cooking, and I am very good at cooking what young people like, and my little family is looking forward to eating every day. ”
Tahi, who has lived a wandering life, does not have high requirements for food quality, and inquiring about sanitary conditions is also brought about by the gradual awakening of Aijie's nature as she grows older. The woman was still talking about the goodness of her house, and Tahi was finally moved by her low price, touched the waist bag where the valuables were stored, and looked at Yu Youzi: "Why don't we go and have a look?"
There is no fixed end point for the public carriage, the man finishes his work, and the other end condition is to complete the fixed route, and the driver's route is to take the main road of Carré, that is, to the end of Silverglitter Street, and then he will return to the portal. The last time I found a hotel for Tahi was on Silver Crumbs Street, the shops on the main road were naturally good and the prices were more expensive.
This time, the two of them saluted and followed the woman out of the car, into an alley, and then into a side street, and a block to her house...... Along the way, Yu Youzi found that this neighborhood is also a guest room business, and there are billboards or signboards at the door.
On the way to her house, the woman introduced her to a tenant with some pride, who had been renting for more than three years, was an obscure student, who usually listened to lectures at one of Willmüller's colleges, and spent his free time in a small room writing something he didn't know, and only today did he know that he was writing a research paper, and a series of articles was actually published in the World Magic Observer Not to mention that he received a good remuneration for his work, a small college in the old capital of Jinli took a fancy to his knowledge and hired him as a teacher...... Today, the woman is helping this homeless scholar lead the way and take him to the portal.
"Otaku" is Yu Youzi's silent evaluation in his heart, and it can be regarded as a very inspirational story, but this gives Yu Youzi an idea to get an income.
When they arrived at the woman's house, a woman who looked to be an adult came out, who turned out to be the woman's daughter, who had not yet married, and was helping in the shop, and the woman had an eldest son, who went out to wander on her own. Her house is no different from the usual buildings in the whole Carré district, it is a small three-story building, the first floor is actually a porcelain shop, selling cups, bowls and plates and other daily necessities, the family lives in the first floor, and the second and third floors are rented rooms.
The owner's daughter was left in the front room to look at the store, and the woman took Yu Youzi and Ta Xiyuan upstairs to see the room, and now the tenants have gone out and not returned, and the vacated guest room is on the second floor, and the two of them can understand why this house is so small - it turns out that a large part of the second floor is used as a warehouse for ceramic goods, and this room is squeezed to the point that there is only so much.
Tahi walked into the room and looked, a single small bed, a long window sill for the table, there is a small window, it is ventilated, the light is not bad, because of the hanging cabinet overhead, the already small room seems smaller, and the three people standing in at once have to be crowded, not to mention the size of four carriages, it seems that there are not even three. Yu Youzi stepped back and walked out of the room, so don't squeeze in and join in the fun.
The woman who came in first was also a little embarrassed: "Although the house is a little smaller, the wind direction of the windows here is good in the sunny season." As she spoke, she went over and pushed the half-open window open completely, then looked back at the two of them, and saw Yu Youzi retreating outside the door, so she smiled embarrassedly, "The two of them are indeed a little crowded." ”
"No, it doesn't matter, I'm the only one living alone. Tahiya spoke.
"Excuse me. Yu Youzi said that, he pulled Tahi out of the room, and the two of them stood at the top of the staircase where their gift box was placed and whispered, "We have more than sixty papa, that is, more than three hundred carley, you can choose a better one...... At least you can get to the hotel where you stayed the day before yesterday......"
"That two Carrés don't have food for a day...... I think this house is clean, you can live for a while, you have to pay back, and I will change to a better place to live when your economic income is stable. ”
How can it sound like a small couple with a poor life, discussing how to save a small life.
