Chapter 11 Buying a New Home in Java
This county seat is called Lin County, and its development has been all due to a canal called Yong'an, which is a well-known poverty-stricken place throughout the country.
The two ends of the river are divided into the east city and the west city, and the east city is a place where commerce gathers, and food, clothing and entertainment are all here.
Xicheng is dependent on the canal wharf to maintain, and the people living in it are all workers, to put it bluntly: down-to-earth.
Everywhere there were shirtless men carrying sacks, and women carrying clothes to wash by the river.
Although Uncle Lizheng has the heart to help, their family is just a mess of food and clothing, and at most they will send them to the dental store.
"Wanshi, we can't stay in the county for too long, be careful when you enter the tooth shop, don't be deceived, remember to give the master some wine money when you stamp it......"
The three sisters and brothers of the bridge are thin and not smart, and Uncle Lizheng is worried and keeps admonishing.
Qiao Wanshi held one in her hand and smiled gratefully, "I know." β
Uncle Li Zheng still felt that there were many precautions that he hadn't finished, but he didn't know what to say, whether he was worried, and finally got on the ox cart and sighed, "After settling down, tell us a word." β
Xu Momo was still elated, "Come on, Wanshi, we are waiting for your good news!" β
Her delicate face was full of positive energy, Qiao Wanshi was deeply encouraged, and said to her younger siblings: "Thank you to Uncle Lizheng and Sister Momo." β
When the person walked away, Qiao Wanshi turned to look at Yaxing.
The tooth shop is licensed by the government, and although the institutions that buy and sell slaves and houses and real estate will be divided, everything in hand has a white paper and red deed, and the official seal is sealed.
"Oh, what is this young lady going to buy? The surname is Xu, you can change to the small old Xu. β
The person in charge was a lean man with a beard, looking at the rustic clothes of his sister and brother, and his eyes flashed with fine light.
"Look at the shop."
Yaxing is a small courtyard, Qiao Wanshi didn't look around, and sat directly on the chair in the main hall, "I want the shop in Dongcheng, you can not be on the street, you want to bring the yard, in addition." She paused, raised her eyes and looked at the thoughtful Steward Xu, as if smiling, "Don't be a sophomore in high school or a junior one." β
As soon as these words came out, Steward Xu confirmed his eyes, this girl is not a person who can be slaughtered.
Each line has its own jargon, in the tooth line, high two means higher than two percent of the commission, and low one means less than one percent of the commission.
The former dominates the illiterate nouveau riche, and the latter are problematic real estate shops who are eager to sell.
Steward Xu honestly gave her three places to choose, all of which were within the conditions, but her strengths were different, so she specially asked the guy to take her to see the field, and finally finalized a shop on the main street in the southeast of Dongcheng.
Qiao Wanshi was tired of walking, and when she returned to Yaxing, she politely poured a sip of tea, and saw Qiao Wanci and Qiao Wei sitting there eating snacks obediently, so she smiled and looked at Steward Xu, "I made up my mind about the one hundred and eighty, and Steward Xu offered me a price." β
Steward Xu's mouth was a little bitter, this was to let him not shout the price blindly, so he had to honestly shout a price.
"If you want, give three hundred taels."
Three hundred taels!
Qiao Wanci was already sensible, and when she heard this price, she immediately opened her mouth, she knew that it was only fifty taels to build a blue brick house in the village, and Uncle Niu's family next door worked at the dock for a year, and they couldn't earn ten taels of silver!
Not to mention that Xiahe Village is quite rich near the county seat, and people in some places can't save enough ten taels of silver in their lives.
Qiao Wanshi put the score in a good place, didn't say it was good or bad, and tapped her fingers on the table, this look was seen by her collaborators in modern times, and she must be vigilant.
Steward Xu, who had quoted the price, was at a loss in his heart, and at this time, Qiao Wanshi spoke.
"Steward Xu, let me tell you this, I want a shop in Dongcheng, and there will be a second and third one next...... It's a long-term partnership. β
It's almost like saying that you give less.
Steward Xu had a bitter face, gritted his teeth and exchanged two fingers, "Two hundred and eighty taels, it can't be less!" β
"Two hundred and eighty taels, yes, but yes." Qiao Wanshi smiled slightly, "How about Steward Xu send me two more inferior slaves?" β
This girl is a real thief.
An inferior slave sells for no more than eight or nine taels of silver, but in fact many of them are bought and sold without capital, because they are guilty of distribution!
If she lowers the price of the shop by twenty taels, Steward Xu will definitely grind it for her, but the two slaves are really not very valuable, and this kind of guilty body is not easy to sell at all, he can't wait to give one.
Steward Xu led Qiao Wanshi to choose a slave.
These people who were chained by chains were all in the alley behind them, most of them had yellow faces and thin muscles, and their eyes were blank.
Qiao Wanshi is also a person who has studied in the 21st century, and she looks quite unbearable, but in such an era, she is helpless.
Qiao Wanshi looked over one by one, and her eyes fell on the family of three at the end.
The man is strong and strong, looking at the wooden; The woman sat on the ground with a three- or four-year-old child in her arms, with more air in and less breath out.
Steward Xu is not a cold-hearted executioner, and sighed when he saw this, "There are many customers who like the couple, but they ask for rescue, if the girl takes a fancy to it, the three of them will go, and the child ...... "Save if you can."
Slaves are bought to save effort, who wants to buy a sick seedling to go back and provide for it?
Qiao Wanshi was hesitating to ask for someone, so they presented the deed of sale with both hands, and they were overjoyed.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
The couple looked at each other suddenly, and the man spoke in a dumb voice, "The girl is really willing to treat my son?" β
"Hmm."
A human life hangs in front of him, where can he turn a blind eye, let alone that the child looks about the same age as Jovi, and he must save his heart.
Needless to say, the husband and wife are grateful, but what surprised Qiao Wanshi the most was the system's reaction.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting three points."
The points suddenly became one hundred and three, which made her heart happy, and she couldn't help but ask the system, "What's the matter with the points?" β
"The goal is to solve the problem of food and clothing around the world, but anyone who can solve the problem of food and clothing for one person can get a point, and there are corresponding additional rewards for making contributions to the food and clothing line."
The system is implicitly proud, and now you can find the good points of this system!
Not bad.
With points, you can open the system mall, she glanced at the exchange points of various goods, and then poured a basin of cold water on her head - the cheapest ones get fifty points, exchange for a fart!
Because their sister and brother didn't have anything, they asked the people from the tooth shop to bring a red envelope and ran away, first took the contract of the shop and the slave to the government and stamped it, and then wrapped three coins of wine money for Steward Xu.
After leaving the tooth shop, Qiao Wanshi directly gave the couple two taels of silver.
"Miss, you ......" The man stared at her in disbelief.
"Go and see the child, and come to shop 180 to find me when the time comes."
The man's big hand held the broken silver no more than the size of his fingertips, and his wife knelt down for her.
"I swear by my surname, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse for my master."
Qiao Wanshi was the most impatient to kneel at every turn, and hurriedly asked them to get up.
The couple took the life-saving money and asked for the location of the pharmacy and trotted over.
"They're so pathetic." Qiao Wanzi's face was full of heart.
Qiao Wanshi smiled silently, although people are pitiful, but the most commendable thing is that they are in trouble but have never fallen.
A building with an inn on the left and a river on the right, a wharf that crosses the side street from the back, and crosses the bridge and turns through a small alley.
The terrain is very good, fortunately there is a large courtyard at the back, and there is a well, and there are eight rooms in the room and side room, and there is a small attic above the kitchen.
But there are also disadvantages: the faΓ§ade of the street is too small, and it is easy to lose money when selling things, so it is idle.
When the door was opened, the two children cried out, and then held hands and ran around the yard like hide and seek.
Qiao Wanshi followed behind and smiled, and only then did she have a sense of truth about getting rid of the old and young of the Qiao family.
Smiled and beckoned the two little ones to him, "Okay, let's go shopping and buy something!" β
My sister and brother didn't bring anything here, not even a small broken baggage, and they had to buy all the food and clothing utensils quickly, otherwise there would be no place to sleep tonight.
As if it was a place to live after familiarization, they went out to Xicheng.
The things in Dongcheng are good-looking and useless, and they can't afford to use them for the time being, Qiao Wanshi thought, so she wronged the two little ones first, who knew that when it came to the cloth shop to buy clothes, Qiao Wanci said that she would not do anything.
"Sister, Sister Momo said that next time she will bring the clothes she doesn't want, I can wear them if I change them, don't break the bank."
The little girl looked up with a sallow and sunken little face, so sensible that it was distressing, Qiao Wei was very excited, and he was reluctant to put the clothes back, "Sister, I don't want it either." β
Qiao Wanshi felt that her nose suddenly became sour.
She had gone to the 21st century to enjoy the warmth of her family, and she had enough of her sins at a young age.
Hurriedly sniffed, Qiao Wanshi bent down slightly, and said, "We have got rid of the Qiao family, and the eldest sister will let you be fed and clothed." She paused for a few seconds and then changed her words, "Eat well and dress well, you have to trust me." β
Later, in the complicated look of the shopkeeper, he insisted on buying three changes of ready-to-wear clothes for the two small ones, and bought a navy blue and a maroon coarse cloth, which were prepared for He San's family, and ordered eight new mattresses.
