If you want to drink some water that doesn't taste so heavy, you have three options.

One is to spend money to buy water transported from outside the city, a bucket of water is about 2L, ten yuan;

the second is to spend money to buy wine to drink, and it is still counted in buckets, ranging from ten yuan of bad wine to fifty yuan of alcohol;

the third is to penetrate the 1,800-year-old science and technology tree, drill the well into the confined layer, and drink deep groundwater;

…… Considering that there was no drilling machine in the equipment he brought, Salty Fish hesitated to buy water to drink.

After Zhang Jin sent her to the guest house, he was busy going back to pay errands, except for agreeing to take her to meet the butcher the next day, he insisted on leaving her a thousand yuan for living expenses before leaving.

She did the math, the accommodation is 100 yuan, the conditions are acceptable, it is a single room, and there is no need to crowd the bunk with others;

Two buckets of hot water in the morning and evening are 4 yuan to ensure basic cleanliness;

A bucket of mineral water costs 10 yuan, and you can make do with drinking it for two days if you save a little to drink;

A light meal (a dish, a plate of meat, a bowl of corn) is about 30 yuan, gritting your teeth as an iron rooster, going out to buy a book of cakes and coming back with boiled water, 30 yuan can eat for several days.

…… However, when others were drinking and eating meat in the lobby, she felt really bad hiding in the room and eating cakes.

…… In particular, this cake is not a white flour cake, but a wheat cake that is stronger than eating bran but not much, and when you bite into it, you can sometimes clearly see what the two hands of the noodle sister did before they were stuffed into the wheat flour.

…… In the end, she gave up this pure-hearted life and turned her head to order a plate of roasted bamboo shoots, a roasted bamboo rat, and a bowl of tofu soup.

Twilight shrouded over the city, and several fires lit up half of the night sky.

In the distance, the sound of drumming was heard, mixed with prayers and chants like sighs.

The Son of Heaven has been bedridden for a long time, and everyone in the market is speculating about which wizard is the real great witch with magic power who can save the Son of Heaven from suffering.

The wizards would always raise their arrogant heads a little higher in the city, and even Jin Wuwei did not dare to show them the slightest disrespect, and if they passed by in a car, any of the Shengdou people would be killed on the spot.

But behind such a respectful look is the suspicious gaze of the whole Luoyang - since Guangwu down, there are few long-lived people among the emperors, and now this emperor has reigned for 20 years, and the number of lifespans is more than 30 or two......

It has been more than 100 years since Guangwu Zhongxing, after the epidemic and drought have ravaged this dynasty in turn, the people can no longer remember the appearance of the virtuous emperor, and they do not care whether the next emperor is mediocre.

…… After all, this son of heaven can even take out the position of the third prince and sell it for money.

…… The asking price is quite high, 10 million yuan for a position of three princes.

…… And the term of office is not long, because the Son of Heaven will always find some reason to remove the three dukes and sell them for another round.

…… Even so, there are many people who buy it, and it is said that you can get a discount if you go to the door, for example, Cui Lie, who "has a heavy name in Beizhou", took the door of the Son of Heaven and Fu's mother, and only spent five million to buy a Situ, which made the Son of Heaven feel distressed, and he made a lot of money!

The salted fish, who had heard all kinds of gossip and rumors, lay on the bed, and there was not a single light or candle in the house.

Although she has the ability to see things like day in the dark, in fact, lighting a bean lamp at night is quite emotional, especially the feeling of warmth, which makes her feel that she has left the cold and dark cave and come to the world full of fireworks.

…… However, lamp oil also costs money.

Today, she has spent 175 dollars in one day.

The extra money bought a rope to hang the bread on the beams of the house.

The hungry rat made a furious sound in the darkness, but she was not disturbed by the slightest movement, and slept peacefully.

Chapter 4

The meat seller Zhang Jin found for her was surnamed Yang, because he was the fourth among the brothers, so he could be called the fourth uncle of Yang, and the neighbors also gave him another nickname - "General".

The origin of the nickname is also very simple, the butchers can collect sheep and pigs every day, and they must have quite a lot of family resources, although this line of work is not very good to say, compared to those scholars who study and become officials, but there is a peer who has the power to dominate the world, and a cough can make the entire Luoyang City tremble!

…… That's right, the general He Jin is a butcher, but people don't sell meat here in Guangyangmen, it is said that the ancestors of the three generations have been doing this business, and the business of He Jin's generation is particularly prosperous, and he has entered the gold market. and then began to make friends one by one from the little yellow door, and finally sent his young and beautiful girl into the palace.

…… After listening to an ear of gossip, Xianyu felt that this matter was mainly due to the good genes of other girls, this Queen He had a beautiful face and a competitive stomach, it is said that the palace had not seen a surviving prince for sixty years, and she had to feed one here!

All in all, since He Jin became a general, the butchers have a light on their faces, since the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping, He Jin was named a general, it is said that there are at least three butchers with this nickname in Luoyang City alone.

…… Probably they don't hold any Internet conferences, otherwise in terms of seniority, if you weigh the gold content of this title, the scene is probably a little embarrassing, right?

As a butcher who deals with knives at his job, Yang Sibo is not only good at coordinating the relationship between people and pigs, but also very good at coordinating the relationship between people and helping people solve problems.

For example, whoever marries a woman and can't pull a few feet of silk when he is hired, and when he wants to buy a plate and money when he sends the old man, he can come to Yang Sibo, according to the distance between relatives, this "problem solving" may add some interest, ranging from high to low, and it is generally fair.

It is particularly worth mentioning that if the neighbors near Dongsan Road need money urgently, they will not charge interest if they come to Yang Sibo to borrow money, so they have also won the reputation of "justice and righteousness".

Yang Sibo listened to Zhang Mian talk about this young man's conduct, and said very happily that he could keep him, "Xiao Langjun is such a hero, he will have a bright day." ”

Accept his auspicious words, but Salted Fish is more concerned about salary.

In this era, wages could be paid with copper coins, or cloth or grain, but considering that the current grain price is a bit elegant, everyone tacitly chose the hard currency of cloth or grain.

THE OFFER RECEIVED BY SALTED FISH IS ABOUT TWO STONES PER MONTH, THAT IS, 80 CATTIES OF MILLET RICE, WHICH IS ABOUT 1200-1500 YUAN ACCORDING TO THE MARKET PRICE. In the spring and autumn period, two more linen cloths will be issued, basically there is no holiday, you can ask for leave if you have something, and you will have to deduct money for leave.

Compared with the marquis of Long Aotian and Wanhu who worship the prime minister from all walks of life, this salary is not high, but compared with the low-level civilians in Luoyang City, it is quite passable, not to mention living by himself, and getting married and having a baby can make do.

…… Of course, she didn't have to think about it.

Considering the matter of cannibalism's loyalty, she still asked one more question.

"Is there anything other than the slaughter of animals that needs to be taken care of?"

Yang Sibo and Zhang Jin suddenly glanced at each other, and then the "general" touched his beard with a smile.

"Aside from transporting livestock and taking care of the stalls, my family's small business didn't have anything to worry about."

Salted Fish Boy stared at the fifty-year-old uncle carefully for a while, and the other party looked sincere.

As a 7-sensed natural nerd, she suspected that her perception of words and expressions had failed.

Although the treatment is good, including food and accommodation, there is no single room.

Every inch of land in Luoyang City is expensive, and the four uncles are only middle-class, and they have not yet been mixed with pavilions and pavilions, and they have entered the courtyard. If she lives here, she has to make do with a few other helpers, and the helpers seem to be quite serious, but the problem is that the gender is male, and sleeping in the same bed is very unacceptable for salted fish, and it is absolutely not negotiable.

…… If you don't live with your colleagues, you have to live with pigs.

…… That's why Salted Fish has to come out and buy a house on its own.

In this small guest house on East Third Road, there are two or three dishes.

After a winter's severe cold, the shepherd's cabbage just poked its head, and it was immediately fully discovered by the people of the Han Dynasty, washed and blanched, mixed with oil and salt, and served with a vegetable face.

Salted fish stretched out his chopsticks, looked at it again and again, and still stretched out to the plate of dog meat next to him.

Zhang Mian showed a clear look.

"Do you want to buy a house?" He reached out and poured a glass of wine for the young man, "Brother should plan for you." ”

"To buy is to buy...... I just don't know how much? ”

Zhang Jin touched his chin, this young man refused to live in Uncle Yang's house as he expected, along the way, he noticed that although this person was not very old, he was quite arrogant, coupled with the background he had guessed before, he naturally did not want to live in the same room with the domestic servant.

But the problem is that the housing prices in Luoyang are not "arrogant" to solve, especially now that they have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"What kind of dwelling do you want?"

The young man thought for a while, "At least two rooms, just bring a small courtyard." ”

Independent hospital, not too far from the workplace, the environment should not be too bad.

…… The requirements are still a bit high.

Originally, Zhang Jin thought about it, if Hanging Fish only wanted a small partial building, even if he was shy in his pocket, he could help make up for it, but such a small yard was obviously beyond the scope of what he could help.

"I'm afraid such a set of courtyards is more than 10,000 yuan."

"More than 10,000 dollars......," the boy thought for a moment, "how much is that?" ”

A set starts from entering the gate, there is a courtyard, there is a main hall, there are wings, there are courtyards, there are ponds, there are cranes' houses, must be built in the north city where the nobles live, the materials are all fine, millions of dollars jump;

There is a main hall, a side room, a courtyard where you can grow some vegetables, and a well that you don't have to go out to buy water, if it is in the Beicheng District where scholars gather, the brick walls and terracotta tiles are simple and solid, and you may even bring a fire wall, hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands are possible;

If it is in Nancheng District, where there are more civilians and businessmen, the environment has dropped by one notch, the building materials have fallen by one notch, and naturally there are no high-level thermal insulation facilities such as fire walls, and there are not even stone bricks in some small yards, at least tens of thousands of dollars;

The slums on the side of the city wall, mud walls and grass roofs, whether you can shelter from the wind and rain depends on what wind and rain are blowing today, what rain it is, although the warmth effect in winter is particularly poor, but the victory is that the ventilation conditions are good, you don't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning, you still have to take out thousands of dollars;

For migrant workers in the city who have "no tiles on the top and no cone below", the thatched huts in the slums can also shelter from the wind and rain, but the environment is too poor and there is no privacy at all.

There is also a kind of partial building between the mud-walled grass house in the slum area and the small courtyard of the good people, in fact, it is an illegal house that the people do not hold officials accountable, the conditions are stronger than the grass house, pick a better orientation, close the door and make a world by itself, except for the poor sound insulation, no one can see the inside of the house.

This kind of partial building is cost-effective, about a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, and some even bring basic furniture, which can be called a hardcover apartment like the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is very suitable for migrant workers in Luoyang City, so Zhang Mian recommends her to buy one.

But she did the math.

No matter how bad the history is, people also know that after the Yellow Turban, the Han Dynasty will end, and the troubled times will rise, if so, even if there is no real estate speculation group in this era, the housing prices in Luoyang will continue to rise.

If you don't buy it now, when will you wait?

…… The dream is good, but the reality is a bit cruel.

Although the unremitting beating of the Yellow Turban Liukou in the past few months did not get EXP, and even made Salted Fish suspect that he might not be able to upgrade, it was not for nothing - each Yellow Turban has a weapon that can be LOOT, and when he is lucky, he even has a Han army-standard weapon, and he can get 300 yuan when he sells it to nearby villages and towns, and dry food and change are counted separately, and over time, he even has five or six thousand yuan in savings.

In addition, she also had 75 gold coins brought from the Garion plane, which were so beautifully crafted that they were regarded as Great Qin gold coins by the merchants here, and each of them was given a purchase price of 500 yuan.

Most of the houses she can't afford to buy, a few of which she can't afford to see, often humiliated by the middle when she goes to see the houses she can't afford, and when it's her turn to look down on the houses, they will be considered by the homeowners as a pastime for them.

Rao is she careful everywhere, or was caught by a □□, seeing that she resolutely refused to buy her own thatched house, she had to rely on 10 yuan to drink, so she let go of the fresh face of "but not specially to entertain me".

…… In the end, it was Zhang Jin who saved her.

There is really such a house on the East Third Road, the owner is the nephew of Chen Xiang in the imperial history, and he was also a serious family back then, but after the disaster of the party, most of the Chen family returned to Runan, leaving the family alone in Luoyang.

Although he is no longer a servant, he can exchange food for a mouthful of food by copying books and collecting rent. Recently, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, and the family has moved the idea of selling a small courtyard that is used for rent, and the money will also go out of the city to buy some land.

…… It sounds like everyone thinks that the turmoil has passed, and it is time to buy land and arrange a new round of investment.

Zhang Mian swore to her that there was nothing more suitable than this courtyard, "This is a house built during the Yangjia period, and it was renovated again during Yongshou, which can be said to be extremely new." ”

…… Sorry, she doesn't understand the calculation of era names.

"How many years is that house?"

"It's only forty-four years!" Zhang Yi's eyebrows fluttered and said, "On this street, you can't find such a new house!" ”

…… Maybe they have a little bit of a different definition of "new home".

This small courtyard has been in existence for decades, obviously dilapidated, less than 50 square meters of yard, not even stone bricks, only a dirt road, and some debris is piled up on both sides. The inside and outside rooms were quite clean, and the wooden cabinets had faded and lost their paint, but they had been wiped off the dust in time.

Sunlight poured into the room through the holes in the window silks, and shone into the small, small, four-cornered room.

…… Such a small and dilapidated second-hand house was actually priced at 30,000 yuan, she really didn't expect it!
