Chapter 22, the small courtyard begins

The days passed day by day, and the time soon came to the middle of August, and the weather was very hot. The news of the defeat of the Nationalist army in the northeast soon spread to Sijiu City, causing a huge sensation in Sijiu City.

However, it is only the upper-class people who are worried about this, and for the ordinary Dousheng people below, it is better to go where to buy a little cheaper Erba sauce.

The so-called Erba sauce is made of two sesame seeds, eight into peanuts, that is, the ratio of sesame sauce to peanut is 2 to 8, commonly known as two eight sauce. No matter what the people of Sijiu City eat, they can't do without this 28 sauce.

Especially in this hot summer, bring a bowl of noodles with cold water and some Erba sauce, which is a summer favorite of Sijiucheng people.

You will often see people squatting at the gate, eating a bite of cucumber and eating a mouthful of noodles, and that day is really pleasant.

After eating at noon, Grandma Lu walked out of the courtyard with Jiang Yan.

A long time ago, Jiang Yan told Grandma Lu that she wanted to buy the small courtyard behind, and after so long of hard work, Grandma Lu finally agreed to take herself to meet the owner of this small courtyard.

Jiang Yan followed Grandma Lu all the way to a courtyard house by the back sea, and after arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Grandma Lu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the gate opened, and an old man of sixty with gray hair opened it.

"Mrs. Long, why did you have time to come to my courtyard today, you are auspicious."

After the old man finished speaking, he also gave Grandma Lu a fiber.

"Okay, old grandson, how long has it been since this happened, and there is no need to do the old salute anymore."

Grandma Lu waved her hand, and handed it to Jiang Yan to know her eyes, and when she saw Grandma Lu's eyes, she instantly understood, and she went over to support the old man surnamed Sun.

"This is your little young master, the old man Sun who stood up looked at Grandma Lu and asked."

"It's my grandson, I've just been here for a few days, why are you talking here! Nor are we invited to sit down. ”

"Oops! It's rude, Mrs. Long, please inside, please inside, old woman, look at who's coming, hurry up and make tea. The old man surnamed Sun shouted into the courtyard, and then quickly turned sideways to open the door and let Grandma Lu enter.

Jiang Yan walked into this courtyard with Grandma Lu in his arms.

Walking into this quadrangle, Jiang Yan had time to look inside, this quadrangle is a one-entry quadrangle, the area is not large, according to the visual inspection is less than 300 square meters. It's almost a third smaller than the courtyard I saw before.

There is a well in the middle of the small courtyard, and there is a grape trellis next to the well, and the grape trellis is full of vines at this time, and the greenery is very different to look at.

There was a rocking chair under the grape trellis, and it was estimated that the old man had been sitting on this rocking chair before.

There are not many rooms in this small courtyard, and there are only about five rooms in the ear room, but it looks like it is regularly maintained, and it is antique.

Looking at this courtyard, Jiang Yan felt that this was the layout of the old Sijiucheng courtyard.

Grandma Lu didn't go to the main hall, a group of people could only sit on the stone bench under the grape trellis, and after drinking tea, Old Man Sun opened his mouth.

"I don't know what my wife has to do when she comes over today."

"No, I don't have anything to tell or not, my eldest grandson values your courtyard, take me to ask you to see if you have any intention of selling."

After Grandma Lu's words were finished, the scene was silent for a while, and at this time, Old Man Sun opened his mouth.

"Madam, you also know my house, after the little devil occupied my house, I never went back soon, and now the house has been dilapidated to that state, even if you buy it back, you need to repair it, this cost is not low!"

"We are all our own people, I will not pit you, if others ask, I will definitely sell, Mrs. You asked, I advise you to think about it."

"Eldest grandson, what do you think," After listening to the words of the old man surnamed Sun, Grandma Lu didn't make a decision, turned her head and asked Jiang Yan.

"Yes, it's okay grandma, I'm not in a hurry to move in, let's find someone to decorate slowly, anyway, I'm looking for a house somewhere."

"Old grandson, you also heard what my eldest grandson meant, look at how much money is needed, don't suffer a loss, don't let my grandson suffer, how much is the right price, you can discuss it." ”

Uncle Sun glanced at Grandma Lu and said: "Mrs. should know about this matter, the old lady of the house I bought in 1919 was merciful, and I exempted a part of it for a total of 1,500 yuan, and now in this year, the house can't be bought at a price, so if you want to buy it sincerely, just give me 1,000 yuan." ”

Hearing this price, Jiang Yan's heart was very surprised! In the past few days, he asked Tuotian dates, and they asked about a few houses, and to be honest, the price given by Uncle Sun was much lower than that on the market.

With such a house, it is not difficult to sell it for 2,000 yuan in the past.

This old grandson is right, but now the war is in chaos, and it can't be sold for a price.

At this price now, Jiang Yan really took a lot of advantage.

Before Jiang Yan could say yes, Grandma Lu, who was sitting on the side drinking water, opened her mouth.

"Old Sun, this price is low, how can you explain if you want to sell it to our family at this price, you still have two sons, think about them."

"In this way, I am in charge, this house, my good grandson will still give you 1500 dollars."

After saying this, Grandma Lu wanted to say something when she saw Uncle Sun open his mouth. And then he continued.

"Alright, that's it, listen to me."

Then he turned his head and said to Jiang Yan: "Eldest grandson, is this price acceptable?" ”

Hearing Grandma Lu's words, Jiang Yan hurriedly nodded, "Okay grandma, yes, if you want to say that I will take advantage of it by paying so much!" Thank you, Uncle Sun. ”

After saying this, Jiang Yan took out ten big yellow croakers from the bag on his body and put them on the table.

During the Republic of China, a small yellow croaker had about 30 grams, and each one could be exchanged for 50 pieces of the ocean.

The large yellow croaker can be exchanged for ten small yellow croaker, which is 500 for the current ocean, and the price of three large yellow croaker is just 1500 for the ocean.

Jiang Yan put the big yellow croaker on the stone table and made a gesture of invitation to Old Man Sun.

Old man Sun was not polite, he picked up a big goldfish and put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Looking at Jiang Yan's eyes, the corners of his eyes twitched, and the truth of gold in this period of emotion depends on biting! It's unhygienic, and if there's any contagion, it's a lot of fun.

Then he took a bite of the remaining big yellow croaker one by one, and then he was satisfied with the big yellow croaker.

"Madam, little young master, wait a minute," after saying this, he quickly took the three big yellow croakers in his hand, turned around and returned to the house, the speed made Jiang Yan quite surprised, a big yellow croaker is a full three hundred grams, which is almost six taels, then the three big yellow croakers are two catties, and there is no one who can do such a good walk.

"Madam, little master, this is the title deed of the house, you can see it."

For the title deed of this era, Jiang Yan is quite curious, just looking at the yellowed paper, he knows that this thing is old, and the words on the title deed are written with a brush to look quite neat.

After Jiang Yan read it, he handed the title deed to Grandma Lu, who glanced at it and nodded to Jiang Yan very vaguely.

"Mrs., little master, with this title deed, you can go to the yamen to exchange for a new title deed."

Jiang Yan nodded, directly put away the title deed and put him into his arms, looking like he was putting it in his arms, but in fact, they were put in the space.

There's no room for security anywhere inside.
