After eating a bowl of noodles, Gu Rao wanted to go to see the house with Beiye, but was stopped by Beiye, sent her back to the inn, and explained, "You wait for me at the inn, the right house is not so fast to find." ”

"When I find the right one, I'll take you to choose."

"You are packing your luggage today, and you are riding in an ox cart, you must have been tired for a long time, go take a nap to recuperate, maybe tomorrow we will go to see the house together."

Gu Rao nodded.

"Then you go early and come back early, if you can't find it today, you will find it tomorrow, don't be too anxious."

-

Gu Rao was alone in the inn, locked the door, and then entered the space by herself, first took a glass of spiritual spring water, and after drinking it, the exhaustion of her body was swept away.

After that, I soaked in the hot spring next to the bamboo house, and after soaking in the hot spring, I boiled a pot of flower tea with the spring water.

-

When it was dark, Besano came back in the dust.

Gu Rao frowned and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Beiye said with a smile, "I found three suitable places, which happen to be rented out for a long time, and I will take you to see them tomorrow." ”

Gu Rao looked at the two oiled paper bags in his hand.

"What did you buy?"

Beno opened one of the oil-paper packets and said, "I saw a seller called Hua Chicken, so I bought a whole one and came back, and asked the boss to cut it into small pieces, so let's eat it." ”

Gu Rao asked, "Have you eaten it yourself?" ”

Beye snorted.

Gu Rao directly reached out to touch his stomach, only touched the hard abdominal muscles, and couldn't feel whether he had eaten or not, but with her understanding of him, she knew that he was reluctant to spend money to feed him.

"Let's eat together."

"You bought a flower chicken, it just so happened that I went out today, bought a little flower tea, and teapots and other furniture, it has been boiled, drinking flower tea can relieve greasy."

Beno took a sip of flower tea first.

"It's delicious, it's sweet."

Gu Rao asked funny, "Flower tea is the taste of flowers, I used roses this time, did you only drink the sweetness, didn't you taste the fragrance of flowers?" ”

She didn't add sugar to it, and the sweetness was the sweetness of the spiritual spring water.

The spiritual spring water has the effect of washing the essence and removing the marrow, and the first time to drink the undiluted spiritual spring water, the impurities all over the body will be excreted.

Gu Rao usually likes to eat vegetarian food, and originally thought that her body was very clean, but after drinking the undiluted spiritual spring water for the first time, the whole person seemed to have just come out of the construction site.

Beiye is a meatless and unhappy person, if he is given undiluted spiritual spring water for the first time, the whole person may be no different from the mud fished out.

Fortunately, after a month of gradual progress, the impurities left in Beiye's body have been almost eliminated, and there are not many impurities accumulated every day due to eating grains or other reasons, so she now dares to give Beiye to drink undiluted spiritual spring water.

Undiluted spring water will have a more pronounced sweetness than diluted water.

Beno took another sip.

"I was so thirsty just now, I only cared about the cow drink, and I didn't taste it carefully, but now I taste the fragrance of flowers."

"It's delicious."

Gu Rao smiled and said, "If you like to drink more, I'll cook more for you in the future." ”

Besano nodded.

Another oil-paper package is two, a meat bun and a vegetable bun, a white flour steamed bun and a brown sugar steamed bun.

Gu Rao ate a chicken leg, a small piece of chicken breast, a mouthful of vegetable buns, a mouthful of meat buns, half a brown sugar steamed bun, and the rest all went into Beiye's stomach.

-

Early the next morning, Gu Rao and Beiye went to the steamed bun shop first, drank a bowl of porridge and ate a few steamed buns and steamed buns, and then followed the tooth man to see the house.

The first small courtyard is located on East Street, with earthen walls and green tiles, and when you enter through a somewhat dilapidated crimson door, you will see a courtyard with trees on the left and right, not too big.

On the left side of the courtyard is an earthen wall separating it from the next yard, and on the right side there is a bedroom and a kitchen, and near the door, there is a small utility room.

Gu Rao asked suspiciously, "What about the thatched house?" ”

The tooth man smiled and said, "Our town is different from the countryside, the countrymen will use dung to farm, but the people in our town don't farm, and dung is useless." ”

"In addition, the town is densely populated with residences, and land is also expensive, so building a thatched house is not only a waste of land, but if you don't clean up the feces in the thatched house in time, it will make the whole street smelly."

"So not most of the houses are not built with thatched houses."

"But you don't have to worry about running out of places to go to the toilet, just go to the toilet in the gong bucket and the night pot, and early in the morning, there will be leaners going door to door to collect feces."

Gu Rao, "......"

It's a bit unimaginable to go to the toilet in a bucket and clean it up after a day.

It's not as good as the country!

"Is there such a house with thatched huts?"

The tooth man nodded, and then looked at Beiye Dao, "The people who live on East Street are generally small traders, or those with average family conditions, but there are many rich and noble families living on West Street, and the houses are more elaborate than those built here, almost all of them are built with thatched houses, and they occupy a larger area than the houses here." ”

"But the rent will definitely be doubled."

"Look ......"

Don't Ye's face changed and said, "She is in charge of the money in our family, so you can take us to see the house according to her request." ”

Gu Rao tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Of the three houses you looked at yesterday that you thought were suitable, none of them had thatched houses?" ”

Those three houses were selected by Beiye after running all afternoon yesterday, if she couldn't even look down on them, wouldn't it be in vain for his hard work yesterday afternoon?

The houses on the West Street are lived in by rich people, and they are not rich, and their savings are only about fifty taels.

Beno thought for a moment.

"There is a house on South Street that is built next to the river, with its back to the river, facing the street, very close to the stone bridge, with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a utility room, a thatched house, and a small courtyard with a stone-stacked laundry table."

Gu Rao's eyes lit up, "Then let's go and see this directly!" ”

——Built by the river.

That alone was enough to make her heart flutter.

The tooth man reminded, "Madam, the owner of the house originally wanted to sell the house, but he couldn't sell it for a while, so he thought about renting it out, but they were too lazy to take care of it, so the requirement was to rent for at least three years, and to press the rent for half a year, so the price is a bit high, I don't know if you can accept it." ”

Gu Rao asked, "How much is the rent a year?" ”

The tooth man first made a gesture of ten with both hands, and then stretched out the five fingers of one hand.

Gu Rao frowned slightly.

"Fifteen taels of silver?"

The tooth man nodded.

Gu Rao, "......"

Fifteen taels of silver a year, forty-five taels of silver for three years, plus seven thousand five hundred taels of rent for half a year, a total of fifty-two taels and five hundred wen at one time.

She and Beye's savings are currently only fifty-one taels of silver.

Almost enough.

However, even if it is just enough, it is impossible to rent a house and not even eat after that, right? What if you take all the money to rent a house and eat and wear in the town?

"Forget it."

"What about the other set?"

Beiye didn't miss Gu Rao's glowing eyes after listening to her description just now, it was enough to see that she liked the house on South Street very much.

"Let's go see this first."

Gu Rao dragged him aside, leaned close to his ear, covered his mouth with her hand, and whispered, "You didn't count?" We don't have enough money! ”
