Chapter 33 Work hard for Qingyuan
After lunch, Qi Ning, who was refreshed, put on a thick and long cotton coat and went around the shop. Everything was going on in an orderly manner, with Tie Niu and Han Dong taking care of it in front, and Zhao and Qiao Niang being busy in the back.
Qi Ning said a few words and went to the grocery store with the deed.
Wu was crackling behind the counter, and when he saw Qi Ning coming over, he hurriedly came out and sat down: "The girl looks better today, but she has lost weight after being sick for a few days, and her little face is pointed." Wu grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed them to Qi Ning.
"Aunt Lao Wu remembered. I came today to say hello to you, I bought this house, and because I have been sick for the past few days, I don't bother to tell you. After Qi Ning finished speaking, he took out the deed and handed it to the Wu family.
Wu Shi looked at it and asked Qi Ning in surprise: "Wang Zhutou is back?" ”
"No, he asked a friend to send the deed because he knew that I had always wanted to buy a few more shops to rent, so he asked him to send the deed. In the future, this house will belong to me, and Aunt Wu can talk to me directly if she has something. ”
Wu saw that the deed was not fake, and knew that Qi Ning would not lie about such a big thing, so he went to the counter and took out the key to the courtyard gate and handed it to Qi Ning: "I will hand over the key left by Wang Zhutou to the girl." From now on, the girl will be my landlord. ”
"It's good to say, the house money is still the same, the original two taels of silver a month, or two taels. At the beginning of next month, it's time to pay the house money, and Aunt Wu will rent it to me if it's convenient, and if it's inconvenient to delay it for a few days. If someone comes to rent a house, Aunt Wu will ask him to find me. The shop and the yard where I used to live were to be rented out. "It turned out that the room that Qi Ning used had been empty.
"It's convenient, it's convenient, I'll definitely send you the money on time next month."
"Then I'll go back first, not only will we be good neighbors in the future, but I will also rely on Aunt Wu to take care of me."
Qi Ning used the key to open the door, put Wang Qingyuan's few covers and a few things away, and moved them back to his own room.
Wu hurriedly sent Qi Ning away and turned his head to the tofu workshop. The Wu family's grocery store is the gossip headquarters of Qing'an City, she knows what kind of gossip, and she immediately thinks of her cousin Xiao Wu, and then ferments and spreads to half of Qing'an City.
Qi Ning guessed that what Wang Qingyuan was doing now must be very dangerous, and she planned to leave him a way back, buy a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, and if something happens, there would be a place to hide.
When he came to the tooth shop where he had bought people twice, Ya Yu saw Qi Ning and greeted him warmly all the way to the living room at the back: "Girl, are you here to buy someone again today?" ”
"I want to help my friend buy a small secluded yard, which is not too big, just enough for a family of three or four."
Yayu hurriedly took out the book and looked through it: "There is no suitable small courtyard for the time being, I will interview the girl, and I will tell you if I have it." ”
"I still want to buy myself a bigger shop, is there a suitable one?"
"The oil mill opposite the door, there are six doors along the street, the gate is in the alley, and there is a very spacious courtyard behind it, which I collected a few years ago, and has been used for the oil mill, if you think it is appropriate, I will take you to see." When he heard that there was a big business, he grinned with a mouth of big yellow teeth and a wrinkle on his face.
"Isn't that used in an oil mill? I bought it for my own use, and it wasn't appropriate to drive people away. ”
"It's okay, it's my brother-in-law's oil mill, and they're planning to move the workshop out of the city, so let's rent a shop here and just sell it." In ancient times, the oil mills relied entirely on manual labor, and the equipment was simple and coarse. Therefore, the space used is also large. Qi Ning and Ya Yu went to the oil mill first, although the length of the six houses along the street is enough, but it is very narrow and dilapidated, the ground, the walls, the doors and windows are all thick oil, the yard is indeed very large, there are three or four large Qi Ning's houses, the yard is built on three sides, and all kinds of tools are piled up.
"This yard is the right size, but it costs a lot to buy it and rebuild it."
"If the girl thinks it's suitable, we'll talk about the price. I bought it and repaired it, and I didn't care much about the oil mill over the years, but the location is good, and the door is big, so why do you need six hundred and fifty taels of silver. Ya Yu stroked his sparse beard and observed Qi Ning's expression.
"It's not the first time we've dealt with each other, and my uncle also knows me as a person, so I don't want to worry about it, I tell you a price, can you hear it? If it's low, don't be angry. ”
"Girl, but it doesn't hurt to say."
"To put it bluntly, I will also buy a land, and it will cost money to demolish the house when the time comes, and I don't have much money for a girl's family to get up early and be greedy for darkness. How about four hundred taels of tax money? ”
"It's really not going to work, I'm going to lose money. Girl more? ”
"I don't ask how much you charge for this shop, I've earned a lot of rent over the years, and the price is this price, and I don't have any more. If it's suitable, we'll make a deal, but if it doesn't work, I'll go to another dental store to see. ”
The two bargained, and finally sold four hundred and fifty taels, and poured out the house to Qi Ning seven days later. Qi Ning gave him a silver ticket of two hundred and fifty taels, and said that he would give another two hundred taels when he handed over the house. Yayu happily took Qi Ning to the yamen to pass the deed, Yayu paid the tax, and the two thanked Master Zhou before going back.
"By the way, Wang Zhutou's house has been sold to me, and there is a shop that is idle, and the yard behind and next door is also idle. You can help me ask if the oil mill should be rented, the shop is one or two silver a month, and you can pay it for one year at a time. "Qi Ning knows that the oil mill has a big business, and if he can build a bigger oil mill outside the city, it will not be bad for silver.
"I'm really sorry for this, they've already rented a shop, and it's on East and West Street. But I can help the girl keep an eye on it, and when the time comes, the tenant will come to you. ”
"I'm tired of uncle, I'll go back first, and in seven days, we'll hand over the keys with one hand and pay the money with the other."
"Girls go slowly, I will let them move on time."
Two days later, horse-drawn carriages pulled large and small objects from the oil mill to the outside of the city, and Qi Ning wrote that Zhang Jifang was being posted on the door. Wu ran over excitedly: "Have you heard?" The owner of the oil mill bought a Zhuangzi with hundreds of acres of land outside the city and moved the oil mill there. ”
"Oh, I heard. Isn't this moving. ”
"I don't know what that shop can be rented to in the future? Don't just run a grocery store. Wu said worriedly.
"No, I'll be a roast duck seller in the future." Qi Ning looked at Wu with a smile.
"Then you can still laugh, isn't this next to you to grab business."
"Haha, Aunt Wu is still good to me and cares about me, I bought the house, and I plan to dismantle it and rebuild it for my own use."
"You bought it??? Girl, have you dug up the treasure? Wu looked at Qi Ning in shock, hoping that Qi Ning was joking.
"I really bought it, and the house was in tatters and wasn't worth a few dollars, so I bought it."
"It's not worth much, but the yard is very big." Wu didn't believe it at all, a helpless little girl came for less than a year, first opened a shop and then bought three houses, so she couldn't believe it anyway.
"It's worth it, wait for the new house and invite Aunt Wu's family to eat roast duck." Qi Ning was afraid that the Wu family would ask the price. If she knew that it would cost five hundred taels, she would think that Qi Ning would not know how much gold she would earn in a day.
"I'm afraid, I don't ask you how much money you have, but you have such a big family business from a girl's family, what kind of in-laws should you find in the future to be worthy of you." Wu looked at Qi Ning worriedly, in this world, even if it is a woman who shows up to do business, most of them follow their families or husbands, women are too capable, they may not be easy to find their in-laws, the poor are not worthy, and the rich are willing to marry well-read and reasonable, and the door is not out of the door. Qi Ning is really an alternative in this place.
"Aunt Wu don't worry, if you really can't get married, I'll marry one." Qi Ning said jokingly.
"You're just not what we think. But fortunately, you are still young, and with filial piety, look for it slowly, Aunt Wu will definitely help you find a good one. ”
Tie Niu's whole person who listened to it on the side was stunned, he knew that the girl was a successful person, and he didn't say anything if he didn't have something to do. Every day, she wears a cotton dress, which is the silk sent by the shopkeeper Hu last year, she throws it there without looking at it, and she doesn't bring any jewelry from her hands to her head, and she never imagined that the girl turned out to be a low-key rich man.
