Chapter 15 Pulling the Fiber
After packing up the things he was carrying, Cheng Nuo got dressed and said goodbye to Wen Cong.
"Wen Cong, I'll go out to see the house today, and come back in the evening, you have to take on the responsibility of a good brother, give your sister medicine on time, and take care of her."
"I put some scraps of money on the desk, you can buy some for breakfast and lunch, if I come back too late, you can also solve the dinner yourself."
After touching Wen Cong's head and telling him a few words, Cheng Nuo shifted his gaze to the bed, still a little worried about this little sick number.
However, this movement had already woken up Wen Hui, who was lying on the bed, out of shyness, he still didn't dare to open his eyes, but his eyelashes jumped nervously.
Cheng Nuo smiled slightly when he saw it, and decided to make a bad joke to tease the little girl, so he made a silent gesture to Wen Cong.
Then he deliberately made a noise, opened the door and closed it again, creating the movement that he had already gone out, but in fact he was still in the house.
Wen Hui thought that Mr. was gone, so she was not so tight, and got up sideways to take a look.
This scene happened to be bumped by Cheng Nuo, and his eyes were facing each other, and he quickly hid his head in the quilt with a sound of ah~.
At this time, Cheng Nuo laughed like a bad uncle who had succeeded in his scheme.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell again: "Wen Cong must remember to give my sister medicine on time, and I will check it when I come back." ”
After speaking, he walked away.
When it comes to the houses in the old Beiping City, the first impression of ordinary people is the courtyard, so Cheng Nuo went straight to Beiping University after going out, wanting to see if there was a suitable house in the nearby hutongs.
In fact, in addition to the courtyard house, the guild hall is also a good choice.
Originally, the hall was only built to serve the fellow villagers who came to Beijing for the imperial examination, establish emotional bonds, and develop officialdom contacts.
But with the development of the times, the form of the hall has also changed, evolving into a commercial hall, a business hall, an industry hall, etc., to the eve of liberation after investigation, there are nearly 400 halls in Beiping City.
At the same time, the scale of each guild hall varies greatly, the small guild hall only has a three-courtyard house for a few years, and the large guild hall occupies a large area in addition to the large rooms, as well as primary and secondary schools, opera gardens, clinics, cemeteries, etc., all kinds of infrastructure are available, and they can be said to be the scale of a small county in the locality.
Among them, the most famous of these halls is the Shaoxing Hall, where Mr. Lu Xun lived for seven years, and even moved to a haunted house in order to escape the hustle and bustle, named "Mending Tree Book House", which was born.
Cheng Nuo also thought about whether to live in the club, but he thought that there might be more and more students at home in the future, and the hall was full of people, maybe he would get burned one day, so it would be better to find a separate courtyard.
When I came to the vicinity of the destination, I found a random alley and got in.
It's a pity that whether it is in the past life or in this life, it is not easy to rent and buy a house, Cheng Nuo walked around the alley several times and did not see a suitable one.
I finally think it's good, either the price offered to you by the noodle student is too high, or it's not a single courtyard and there are other tenants, no matter what.
Just when he felt helpless and wanted to find a tea stall to drink a few sips of tea and rest, a person came behind him and attracted Cheng Nuo's attention.
I saw that this person brought a toad mirror, a horse coat on his upper body, a robe on his lower body, a bird cage in his left hand, and a pot and gourd in his right hand.
This guy walked straight to Cheng Nuo's side, sat down side by side, and said, "This master, I see that you have been walking around the alley a lot, do you want to buy a house or rent a house?" ”
Cheng Nuo was a little vigilant in his heart, but it was not good to deal with him directly, so he prevaricated: "Oh, oh, I'm from other places, I'm just here to take a look and enjoy the scenery of the old Beiping City." ”
"Yo, that's a good idea." The mysterious man smiled happily, put down the bird cage and the gourd in his hand, and took out a small bag of tea directly from his arms and handed it to the stall owner: "Brother, please make it for me." ”
This scene made Cheng Nuo a little stunned, and he choked out a sip of tea directly.
With this kind of play, how thick this person's skin should be.
Cheng Nuo shook his head and asked himself if he couldn't do it.
The mysterious man was obviously a regular customer of the tea stall, and when the stall owner heard this, he only smiled helplessly, so he brought a pot of boiling water and soaked it for him.
"Brother, thank you, I wish you a better and better business and a lot of money."
"But don't, keep the stall and don't lose money, I'll be satisfied."
Cheng Nuo was almost resting here, and he didn't let the boss continue to refill the water, so he was ready to get up, thinking about taking advantage of the time to see a few more alleys.
At this time, the mysterious man suddenly spoke and drank all the tea in his hand.
"Sir, if you want to buy a house or rent a house, you can find me Wu Youde, and if you can't find something you are satisfied with, I won't accept any money until you meet a suitable one."
Cheng Nuo hesitated, it is indeed not good to rent a house, and the experience in the morning made him pessimistic about the results of the afternoon inspection, and now it seems that it is a good choice to have an intermediary.
Wu Youde saw that Cheng Nuo paused, only the matter was dramatic, and he got up directly and said: "Sir, do you believe that I can go to the surrounding area to inquire, in the business of pulling Fang Fiber, my old Wu has never cheated people, and has always only done bright things." ”
Pulling the house fiber is the old name of the housing agency.
Seeing this scene, the stall owner who was busy running around there stopped and stood up, wiped his face with a towel, and teased: "That gentleman, I can prove that he Wu Youde usually has nothing to do except for decorating, slamming the door, and being thick-skinned, and he is really good at looking at the house." ”
Wu Youde was a little embarrassed, but he didn't panic at all, took off the toad mirror, and said with a heartfelt voice: "Just rely on your fair words Brother Sun, I won't bring tea tomorrow and drink what you have on the stall." ”
"Bah, you can wipe last month's account first."
From the laughter and scolding of these two, Cheng Nuo heard that this Wu Youde has some skills, and his shortcomings are not of great influence, so he can be invited to find a house.
In the end, you really can't find a suitable house, you can not pay, and theoretically you can't lose anything.
After thinking about it, Cheng Nuo gave up his hand and said: "Then Mr. Lao Wu will find a house to rent for me, and I will definitely not lose you at that time." ”
As long as you find a suitable house, commissions and everything are small things in Cheng Nuo's opinion, after all, you have to live for a few years in a row, and the more worry-free, the better.
"I'm just waiting for your words." Wu Youde is also a wonderful person, holding the bird cage and the gnats cage next to the stall owner's stove, squeezing his eyebrows and saying: "Please take care of it for me, and I will wipe your account when I come back." ”
"What about this time?"
"Hey, hey, write it down first."
At this time, a gust of wind came, blowing off the cloth covering the bird cage, Cheng Nuo looked at it, okay.
Not to mention the birds, there is not a single bird feather.
The whole thing is used by Wu Youde to support the scene, as for the gourd, hey, do you still need to guess.
"Wu Youde, you really lack virtue."
