Ling Mei smiled and said, "Hello, Mrs. Tan." My surname is Xiao and I am a villager from Yunlai Village. I came here today to talk to you about renting your house. ”

Mrs. Tan's eyes were cold: "Who said I was going to rent out the house?" No rent! ”

After speaking, the door was about to be closed, and Ling Mei pressed the door and said, "Mrs. Tan, wait a minute." She handed out a beautiful small basket and said with a smile, "Home-grown strawberries, please smile if you don't pay respect." ”

Mrs. Tan glanced at the red fruit in the bamboo basket, and her gaze slowly changed from confusion and shock to a little ...... Miss?

"Strawberries?" She frowned slightly, and her eyes were distant. It's as if I saw my past years in this basket of strawberries.

When she was young, she lived in Shanghai, and every year when the strawberries were on the market, she would go to the international restaurant to taste their strawberries Napoleon. The sweet and sour taste of the sweet and sour layers will still linger in my heart when I think of it. She couldn't help but think that there was still some cream at home, and there was a lot of flour and eggs saved a few years ago, and these strawberries were enough for her to bake a strawberry cake.

The door opened a little more, and Ling Mei saw Mrs. Tan's whole body.

Dressed in a royal blue thick cotton cheongsam, with a silver-gray wool cloak draped over her shoulders, she has a slender figure and elegant temperament. It's just that Ling Mei didn't feel any joy and sorrow in her. Jin Ingot explained: It shows that this person has no joy and no disaster, and life is like this.

"Come in." There was a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in Mrs. Tan's voice.

Ling Mei and Pan Tailor happily stepped into Tan Yuan.

Walking on the side porch of Tan Garden, passing through one entry and one entry, and finally arrived at Mrs. Tan's place.

May was shocked.

The structure of the house is typically one horizontal and one vertical. A central axis in the middle of the house has an area of more than 200 square meters, and there are about forty or fifty rooms around the front, back, left and right!

But except for the small courtyard where Mrs. Tan lives, the flowers and trees are finely trimmed, and the yards of the other houses are full of barrenness. Overgrown weeds flood the path, and occasionally flock a flock of wild birds can be swayed. wanted to come to Mrs. Tan to live alone, and she didn't have the strength to tidy up the big mansion, so it was abandoned to this point. I opened a vegetable patch, but unfortunately the vegetables grew average.

Tan Yueqiu said, "Please take a seat." ”

There is a stone table and four stone chairs in the small courtyard. Ling Mei gently placed the strawberries on the table and sat down with Tailor Pan.

Mrs. Tan unceremoniously took the strawberries she was thinking about back to the house, and then brought out a pot of tea.

Ling Mei's gaze was fixed on the white jade-like porcelain pot. She was not proficient in porcelain, and only found teapots pleasing and beautiful. But the gold ingots are knowledgeable, and they shout in the space: "No wonder there is an aura outside this house, it turns out that there are a lot of treasures hidden inside!" This teapot is about three or four hundred years old, imitating the white porcelain of the kiln! ”

Ling Mei hid her surprise, looked up and smiled at Mrs. Tan: "This teapot is so beautiful." It is the work of the imitation kiln of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Tan Yueqiu glanced at her unexpectedly: "Miss Xiao has good eyesight." She paused, "You just said you were from Yunlai Village?" ”

"Yes." Ling Mei smiled, "I grew up in Xianyun Mountain since I was a child, and I was born and raised in Yunlai Village. ”

Tan Yueqiu's eyebrows twisted slightly, stared at her eyebrows for a while, and asked, "Who are you Xiao Yueshan?" ”

Ling Mei was surprised: "Do you recognize my father?" ”

Tan Yueqiu's thin eyebrows raised slightly, and his voice softened a little: "It turns out that you are his daughter." Lately your father's fame has reached my ears. She had an explanation in her heart: Xiao Yueshan's Yueshan family is from Dingyao Street in Zhangzhou, and Xiao Lingmei is probably influenced by her grandfather's family when she dissolves porcelain like this?

Ling Mei smiled: "My father has been quite famous recently. ”

Tan Yueqiu couldn't hide the pride on the little girl's face, and couldn't help but smile.

"I've eaten your home-grown vegetables, and they really taste great."

Ling Mei immediately said: "I see that you are cultivating your own fields and vegetables, if you don't dislike it, I will bring you some rapeseeds." Remembering her love for strawberries, she smiled, "Strawberry seedlings can too." ”

Tan Yueqiu: Can you refuse the temptation of strawberries? The tense eyebrows softened even more: "Then I will thank you in advance." ”

She looked at the somewhat restrained tailor Pan and smiled, "This gentleman's clothes are well done. I look familiar, where is it customized? ”

Tailor Pan hurriedly said: "Mrs. Tan, my surname is Pan, and I am a tailor. I made the clothes myself. ”

Tan Yueqiu asked in a deep voice: "In the past, there was a master with excellent craftsmanship in the town, also surnamed Pan, called Pan Qishi. I don't know if it's you......"

"It's the grandfather below." Tailor Pan's face showed a hint of shame, "It's a pity that my craftsmanship is not as good as my grandfather's. ”

Tan Yueqiu looked confused, and whispered to himself: "It turns out that they are all children of the deceased." She lifted her spirits, "You want to borrow my house?" ”

"Exactly." Tailor Pan said, "This Miss Xiao has set up a clothing company. I want to borrow your land and enter the yard to make a factory for the time being. ”

Tan Yueqiu was stunned: "Miss Xiao, you have already opened a company?" ”

Ling Mei Zhengse said: "I opened it with a friend." I have decided to go to Guangzhou for development, and now I urgently need a place to make clothes. ”

Tan Yueqiu thought for a while and said, "I've always been quiet, you have to make clothes, but you can't do it too late." I'm not good at cooking, so you can take care of three meals a day, but you can't make my house dirty. ”

Ling Mei and Pan were pleasantly surprised: "You agreed?" ”

Tan Yueqiu smiled: "I also have conditions." ”

"What conditions, you say."

Tan Yueqiu said: "I want you a pound of strawberries every day." I also want your family to teach me how to grow strawberries. ”

When she entered the house to make tea, she couldn't help but wash a strawberry first and taste it. The cotton in the mouth is tender and sweet and fragrant, even sweeter and more fragrant than the strawberries she ate in Shanghai when she was young. remembered that Xiao Lingmei said clearly before entering the door, this was her home-grown strawberry, and she heard that she was willing to give her strawberry seedlings, Tan Yueqiu simply took this as a condition for renting a house.

Ling Mei smiled: "Wrap it on me." ”

Tailor Pan grinned, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He asked cautiously, "So, how is the rent calculated?" ”

Tan Yueqiu smiled sideways: "Hasn't the rent been negotiated?" ”

Tailor Pan was startled, looked at Ling Mei and then looked at Mrs. Tan: "This...... That's not quite right, right? ”

Tan Yueqiu said: "Why is it not suitable? The Xiao family costs at least seven or eight yuan for a pound of strawberries. It costs more than 200 a month. I can also learn how to grow strawberries, and I am taking advantage of you. ”

Tailor Pan was speechless. Also, strawberries are probably more than that. In this way, it is indeed not a loss or a gain.

After negotiating the rent, Tan Yueqiu took them to choose a house.

The courtyard of the first entrance is the most barren, with six rooms on the left and right, and three rooms facing south. The room is stacked with old furniture that has fallen into disrepair, cabinets, bed boards, and round tables. What surprised Mei even more was that the bathroom in this courtyard actually had a flush toilet and a shower room. I tried it, but it still works. No wonder the tenants refused to move out. This is an extremely luxurious existence in today's era. The most important thing is that it is the farthest from the main house, and it will not disturb Mrs. Tan when working overtime at night. The two discussed it for a while and decided to borrow it.

Mrs. Tan apologized: "The dust has accumulated in the house for many years, and you have to work hard to tidy it up yourself." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Ling Mei was very satisfied. The room is big enough and tidy up a little bit. "Thank you."

Mrs. Tan immediately handed them a bunch of keys.

When the matter was done, Ling Mei took her leave. Mrs. Tan sent them to the door and hurried to the kitchen. Finding tools for turning over boxes. I haven't made cakes for a long time, I don't know if I can still succeed?
