Chapter 29: Dislike

Beno said honestly, "I didn't calculate it, it's about five taels of silver, right?" ”

Gu Rao nodded.

"At present, we only have fifty-one taels of silver in savings, and the rent and deposit for three years add up to fifty-two taels and five hundred yuan, which is not counting the intermediary fee for the tooth man."

Beiye smiled and said, "Let's go and see it first, if you like it, rent it, it's not enough money, I will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, and I should earn it back in a few days." ”

Gu Rao, "......"

"How can it be so fast?"

Don't be wild.

"I know where there are large beasts, and these beasts are sold more expensive than ordinary prey, and if you hunt one, you can sell it for a lot of money."

Gu Rao frowned.

"The reason why that kind of beast is expensive is because it is difficult for ordinary people to hunt, and it takes a lot of risk, and I can't let you risk your life."

"Don't look at the house anymore."

"Let's find someone who is within our ability, if we earn money in the future and think that the house is not suitable, then change to a better one, step by step."

Besano was unusually persistent.

"Let's go check it out."

Gu Rao, "......"

Just when the two were at a stalemate, the tooth man came over and said with a smile, "Madam, just listen to your husband, let's go and have a look, and don't charge for a look." ”

Gu Rao couldn't make sense with Beiye, and made up her mind in her heart, even if she was satisfied later, she would pretend to be dissatisfied, find a lot of faults, and make Beiye give up the idea of renting that house.

"Okay."

-

Coming to the stone arch bridge again, Besano stood on it and pointed to a passage in the middle of the stilted buildings, "That's the house we're going to see." ”

Gu Rao looked at the turquoise river and the boats coming and going, suppressed the crazy heartbeat in her heart, and said quietly, "It looks a little old." ”

"We're just staying temporarily, as long as it doesn't collapse." ”

Walk across the stone bridge to South Street.

Almost all the houses on South Street are built on stilts on the river, with their backs to the river and facing the bluestone streets.

On both sides of the street, there are houses, shops, footmen selling along the street, and groups of children playing and laughing, and the atmosphere of life is strong.

Coming down from the stone bridge, the third house on the left is what they are looking at.

Gu Rao asked, "Are there any other houses for rent here?" ”

The tooth man nodded.

"Yes."

"However, most of them are rented shops, and there are few houses, and the structure of the shops is simple, so they are not suitable for long-term living, and the prices are higher than those of private houses."

Gu Rao asked, "What about the sale?" ”

Selling a house can earn more than renting a house, and Yaren did not miss any opportunity to sell the house, and said enthusiastically, "The quicksand river on which our wild boar town is backed is a canal from north to south, and many merchants and literati who pass by have stopped. ”

"Therefore, there are many people who do business in Wild Boar Town, and some businessmen make a lot of money, so they want to sell their houses here and buy houses in the county."

"There are five people who want to sell their houses recently, why don't I take you to see them later?"

Gu Rao shook her head.

"Ask first."

She can't afford to rent and live now, but not necessarily in the future, she is really satisfied with South Street, and when she saves enough money in the future, she can come to South Street to buy a house and settle down.

I never thought about making money before, but now I have the idea of making money in my heart.

You can't really let Besino's hunt and raise his family alone, right?

Although Besano does have that ability, hunting is risky after all, and there are not a few hunters who die in the mountains every year, and she doesn't want Besino's to be one of them in the future.

As for how to make money......

Gu Rao's first thought was to do business, as for what kind of business, food, clothing, handmade jewelry...... Or something else, I haven't thought about it for a while.

The tooth man was not disappointed, and said with a smile, "I have been a tooth man in Wild Boar Town for more than 20 years, and I know a lot about the tooth shop. ”

During the conversation, the three of them walked through the wooden door.

The entrance is a small courtyard that is not too big, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and next to the courtyard is a two-story wooden building.

Below the small building is the living room, kitchen, utility room, and there is also a living room on the second floor, with six windows on the left and right sides of the living room, three windows connected to the ground and the roof, and three windows with hollow geometric wood grain fences in front of these three windows, and three arm-length windows from the ground.

Sunlight poured in through the windows, illuminating every corner of the room.

On the opposite side of the living room are two bedrooms, the master bedroom on the left and the second bedroom on the right.

Gu Rao first went to look at the master bedroom, and the first thing she saw was a wooden bed next to the wall, an old long table in front of the bed, a high-rise lamp table on the left side, and a wardrobe placed side by side with the window.

There is nothing else in the master bedroom except for these few pieces of furniture.

Gu Rao walked to the window, pushed open the half-open window, and saw the river view outside at a glance, many people were standing on the stone platform behind the house to wash clothes, and boats were coming and going.

Besino's asked, "Do you like it?" ”

Gu Rao said duplicityly, "I don't like it." ”

Tooth Man, "......"

He clearly likes her!

Gu Rao went to the second bedroom to take a look again, and there was nothing else except a bed and a desk.

"When the host moves out, most of the furniture is also gone, and you may need to buy your own furniture when you move in. ”

"But those can be taken slowly, at least the beds are still there, so you won't have no place to sleep, right?"

Besano said bluntly, "My wife likes it very much, but she still has a little money, so I don't know if you can discuss it with the host and give us a cheaper price." ”

The tooth man looked embarrassed.

"How much worse are you?"

Beno asked cautiously, "How much cheaper can you make the master's family give us?" ”

The tooth man groaned for a moment.

"I'll tell you directly, the owner is in a hurry to rent out the house, and it is still a long-term lease, and it will take three years to rent it, and ordinary people really have to hesitate."

"If you sincerely want to rent, I should ask the host's family to wipe the change for you."

Gu Rao asked, "Fifty taels?" ”

The corners of the tooth man's mouth twitched fiercely.

Madame said with a smile, how could anyone erase the change and directly erase nearly three taels of silver? I will ask the master's family to give you five hundred denarii less, and you can rent it for fifty-two taels of silver. ”

Gu Rao shook her head.

"Forget it, we don't have enough money."

Tooth Man, "......"

How could he let a deal that was about to be negotiated?

"Fifty-one taels, it can't be less!"

Bei Ye was about to agree, but Gu Rao held his hand, first gave him a reassuring look, and then said to the tooth man, "To tell you the truth, we only have fifty taels of silver." ”

Tooth Man, "......"

I've seen a bargain, but I've never seen someone cut so hard.

"Then I'll take you to see other houses, fifty taels of silver, there are still a lot of better houses that can be rented."
