Get rich!

After walking out of the pawnshop, Xia Yang couldn't help but feel a burst of secret joy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rao is that he doesn't know the price of goods at this time, and he also knows that these three thousand silver dollars are definitely a windfall, and in terms of purchasing power alone, I am afraid it is equivalent to hundreds of thousands in later generations!

Put the silver ticket into the hand-held briefcase and send it into the space, leaving only twenty silver dollars on the body, casually took out a silver dollar and looked at it, only to see that the front was printed with Yuan Datou, and the back was engraved with the words "One Yuan", which was slightly larger than the one-yuan coin of later generations, which is commonly known as "Dayang".

After such a delay, his stomach was already croaking with hunger, and thinking of the smell of the beef soup just now, he quickly returned the same way and came to the previous shop.

"Here you are, sir. The sharp-eyed Xiao Er saw Xia Yang in a suit at a glance, and greeted him with a smile.

Xia Yang also smiled at him: "Bring me a bowl of beef noodles!"

"You may be seated. Xiao Er answered, beckoned Xia Yang to sit down, and soon brought a bowl of steaming, fragrant beef noodles.

The soup is fresh and meaty, and the amount of noodles is particularly large, enough for an adult man to fill his stomach. Xing was really hungry, and soon he ate the bowl of beef noodles.

After eating, Xia Yang inquired while paying: "Little second brother, do you know where the Jingwu Sect is?"

"Hey, sir, are you also planning to rush to Jingwumen to offer condolences? I heard that many people have gone today. Without waiting for Xia Yang to answer, Xiao Er sighed again: "I really didn't expect that even Master Huo Yuanjia couldn't beat the Japanese." ”

Xia Yang naturally knew the real cause of Huo Yuanjia's death, and he didn't say much to him, and after inquiring about some things he wanted to know, he asked about the location of Jingwumen before leaving the noodle shop.

It turned out that Jingwumen was not far from here, but Xia Yang did not rush to Jingwumen immediately, he speculated that Huo Yuanjia's martial arts competition with the Japanese happened yesterday, and with the communication conditions of this era, it would take at least a day or two before it reached Japan. Then Chen Zhen received the news that he rushed back to Shanghai from Japan, and it would take three or five days at the earliest before the plot officially began, and he still had enough time.

The top priority at the moment is to adapt to this era as soon as possible, understand all kinds of information in the current society, and his identity background is like a blank sheet of paper in this era, which needs to be carefully pondered and improved, so Xia Yang thought about it for a while and decided to find a place to settle down first.

He is alone, not a pampered person, and does not have high requirements for where to live. It's just that the current situation is turbulent, and he thinks about it, but he still feels that only in the concession can safety be guaranteed.

Speaking of concessions, it has to be mentioned that since the Opium War, Shanghai's concessions have been divided into British concessions and French concessions. Among them, the French Concession is independent of other concessions, while the British Concession forms a joint concession with the American Concession, also known as the Public Concession. Through the conversation with Xiao Er of the noodle restaurant just now, he roughly understood that although the French Concession is comfortable, gangsters are rampant inside, and dragons and snakes are mixed. Although the management of the public concession is relatively chaotic, after all, it is jointly controlled by Britain and the United States, and now Britain and the United States are in charge of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry, which is equivalent to controlling the operation of the entire concession.

As for Japan, although it is also one of the arrogant and domineering powers in Shanghai, it has not yet reached the point of unscrupulousness compared with the period of full-scale invasion of China in the future. In terms of security, the public concession is definitely superior.

Hop on an old-fashioned tram with wires and follow the tracks on the street, and after about ten minutes, you will arrive at the public concession. I inquired about where to rent a house, and it didn't take long to come to a grocery store.

"Empty, you're in a hurry. As soon as he walked in, a man in his forties nodded his head and bowed in Japanese with a smile on his face.

Xia Yang, who is from modern times, has never seen this kind of posture, and this ugly flattery makes him instinctively disgusted: "I'm not Japanese. ”

I thought that Xia Yang in a suit must be Japanese, but when he heard that he was Chinese, the boss was also relieved, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Chinese, great, what do you need?"

Xia Yang frowned slightly and asked, "I heard that you have a house for rent here?"

"Yes, yes. The boss nodded hurriedly and said: "Most of the houses around here are entrusted to rent here in my Zhou Laosan, do you want to rent for a long time or a short time?"

Xia Yang reacted at this time, it turned out that this person was just a real estate agent. "Take me to see it first, it's better to be an independent house, the conditions are better, and the safety is guaranteed. If it's right, I'll live forever. ”

It's not that he hasn't thought about staying in a hotel, it's just that he doesn't know how long he will stay in this plane, and if it lasts for a long time, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. As for the conditions, he comes from the material society, he must not be too bad, it doesn't matter how big or small, at least he has to be clean and hygienic.

"Okay, sir, don't worry about coming with me, you're absolutely satisfied. Zhou Laosan agreed with a smile, and then shouted: "Child, come out and take care of the shop, and I'll take the guests to see the next room." Then he led Xia Yang and walked to the back of the grocery store.

After walking for a few minutes, the two came to a separate courtyard made of blue bricks, which was quiet and quiet with no other residents around.

Inside, in addition to the living room, there are four bedrooms, all of which are furnished with quaint solid wood furniture, a kitchen and toilet. Of course, there are no modern toilets and bathrooms here.

"What do you think of this place, sir?" Zhou Laosan is very proficient in business, and highly recommended: "It has been less than a year since the construction of this place, and the owner of the house is my old acquaintance." Now that the situation in Shanghai is not good, my friend originally planned to sell this place and return to his hometown in the south to settle down, but depending on the situation, he will not be able to sell it for a while, and I also persuaded him to rent it out two days ago. In terms of rent, if you live for a long time, except for the largest room in it, which is three yuan, the rest are two and a half yuan a month, the kitchen and toilet are shared, and the water and electricity bills are shared. By the way, you're the first resident here. ”

The conditions here were much better than Xia Yang expected, which made him quite moved. Especially the spacious courtyard outside, which is very suitable as a venue for him to practice martial arts in the future. He thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder how much the owner plans to sell this yard for?"

Buying this place, Xia Yang has his own considerations. First, he had the three thousand oceans he had just gotten as a watch, which was more than enough to buy this courtyard, and second, he was never a person from this world, and the secrets on his body were so important that he was not suitable for living with other people for a long time, so he had to have a private place.

Hearing that Xia Yang intended to sell this house, Zhou Laosan was pleasantly surprised, and the smile on his face was even bigger: "My friend's price is two hundred and eighty oceans, if Mr. is interested, I can make the decision on his behalf, and I only need to give two hundred and fifty oceans." ”

Two hundred and five, this is not a good number, Xia Yang shook his head and said: "I will still give you two hundred and eighty oceans, you notify the owner for me, ask him to hand over the deed and keys as soon as possible, the faster the formalities, the better, and then purchase some daily necessities for me, I want to live in today." By the way, you can help me hire someone to clean it every day, and I will pay two oceans a month. ”

Zhou Laosan was overjoyed, patted his chest and said, "Okay, no problem, don't worry, sir, everything is on me." ”

After finalizing the matter of the house, Xia Yang went to the bank in the concession with Zhou Laosan to exchange a thousand-yuan silver ticket, exchanged some foreign currency, and immediately handed over two hundred and eighty silver dollars to him. After sending Zhou Laosan away, he looked at his conspicuous modern suit, then found another clothing store, bought a few sets of dresses and tunics of this era, as well as some usual clothes, and asked the clerk to send them directly to his residence.

After doing all this, he found a teahouse to sit down, and asked the man to go to the newsstand outside and buy all the newspapers back.
