Chapter 9 Breeze Building
Yunsu looked through the houses for sale, although Yuyang County is not the state capital, but there is a river wharf outside the city, the house price is still very high, each house has a simple drawing, there is simple information on it, the cheapest set also costs thirty-seven taels of silver.
Yunsu thinks these single-family houses are good, but the price is unaffordable, and the silver on his body is not even a fraction.
I originally wanted to see if there were any cheap houses such as murder houses and ghost houses for sale, but I was naturally disappointed.
The number of houses in the book B is even larger, and the courtyards that are too expensive are directly swept by, and the prices of those independent courtyards are not high, and finally they really chose a small courtyard in the west of the city.
The little official didn't say much, and called an errand runner to take Yunsu to have a look.
"Guest officer, your surname, just call me Wang Er. ”
"In Xia Su. ”
Yunsu carried the burden, took a few babies, followed Wang Er around the corner, and came to a quiet alley, on the left hand side is a larger courtyard, with high walls and bright tiles, many birds and birds soaring and singing, and on the right hand side is a dilapidated courtyard.
There are four big characters on the lintel of the small courtyard: Qingfeng Xiaozhu.
The tile ridges on the courtyard wall are mostly broken, revealing the gray glutinous rice mortar inside, the corners of the wall are poorly drained, many masonry have been weathered by water erosion, and some weeds have grown in the brick joints.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, you can see a withered old tree, the trunk of the tree is the size of a bucket within sight, just on the corner of the street Yunsu can see, there is no vitality as far as the eye can see, insects eat birds and peck, the wind blows the snow pressure, the stumps are broken, and this broken courtyard looks very gloomy.
The two clasp door iron rings on the courtyard door are a little rusty, a large lock is half new and half old, and the two doors are a little old, but they are not like the other courtyard doors I saw along the way, which are messed up by small children's toys such as stones and charcoal.
Yun Su stared at the sky above the small courtyard, and there was a lingering faint obscurity
Last night's spiritual rain didn't extinguish the bad luck here, no wonder the rent for a month is only 300 yuan.
"Mr. Su, look at this house, the authentic courtyard is a small courtyard, although the place is a little remote, but you can see here, the spacious hard stone dam is not afraid of rain......"
Wang Er took the key to open the courtyard door, facing a photo wall, blocking people's sight, bypassing the photo wall to see a spacious courtyard dam, now is also overgrown with weeds, there are more than half a person high, there are two dry bird nests that have long been abandoned in the weeds, there is a large pool in the northwest corner of the courtyard dam, there is a small rockery by the pool, the whole big pool is about three zhang square.
"Brother Yun, how can you live here. ”
Wang Xuanji looked at the wild grass that was taller than himself and asked worriedly.
Wang Er's face was also a little unbearable, and seeing that this job was going to be yellow, he hurriedly persuaded:
"Little girl doesn't know, there has been a lot of rain and snow in the local area recently, and the grass is growing faster, but you look at this hard stone yard dam, the big pool, and there is an old well for your own use, which is very suitable for you. ”
Yunsu put the burden under the porch, let Wang Xuanji and them play there, excused himself to look at the courtyard again, and walked with Wang Erchao.
"What's the origin of this yard?"
"It used to be the courtyard of a merchant in the city, and when the owner's family committed an accident, the house was confiscated. Mr. Su, you see that the rent is only 300 yuan a month, and I can't find a better one in the whole city. If you rent it, my second king will cut these weeds for you and clean them up. ”
Yun Su was silent, originally he didn't expect to hear any truth from the mouth of this second king, and looked at it intently, there was no problem with the ancient well, and there was no problem with a few rooms, which was somewhat unlucky, and it was also formed over the years.
It wasn't until his eyes swept over the big pool that Yun Su had a number in his heart, it turned out that there was a problem here.
Wang Er saw Yun Su's gaze sweeping over him, and he had the feeling of being stared at on the street by people standing naked on the street, he was shocked, looked at this barren courtyard, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Mr. Su, if you rent it and are satisfied with this courtyard after a while, I will run it for you, and ask the shop to sell you this mansion cheaply. ”
Yunsu didn't bother to talk more about this kind of market slippery, so he agreed to rent it, provided that he wanted to remove the wild grass in the yard and clean it up.
Wang Er agreed, thinking that he would pay from the public account, and the adults would agree, this house is not very clean, where do the locals dare to rent it.
Then it's easy to do, after paying fifty yuan, Yunsu put down his burden, hugged Wang Xuanyu, and took a few little guys out for lunch.
At the mouth of the alley not far from Qingfeng Xiaozhu, there is a street restaurant, five small tables, there is a big bamboo mat above the head to shelter from the rain and snow, and it sells wontons, which makes Yunsu feel a little surprised, and the signboard of the rice room has three words written on it "Wonton Zhang".
The shopkeeper is in his thirties, the old road is hot, very talkative, and he sees Yunsu with a few children, not very like a local, and he is busy in the pot while chatting.
Wonton is stuffed with cabbage pork, although there is not much pork in each wonton, the cabbage is very authentic, there is no kind of old vegetable gang, it is served in a sea bowl, the store says that the wonton soup is boiled with pork bones, the bowl is filled with coarse salt and shallots, Yunsu added a little old vinegar to the big sea bowl, the taste is much better than eating on the earth, but unfortunately there is no spicy.
"Shopkeeper, your wontons taste good. ”
"Hey, guest officer, you know how to eat. This wonton shop is the third generation of me. The thin-skinned meat filling is not fake, and it takes a whole night to boil the soup with big bones. ”
"It's delicious, but the name is a bit weird. ”
The four little guys ate soup all over the corners of their mouths, and Wang Xuanwu was the most able to eat, one bite at a time.
"Hehe, the word wonton has the meaning of chaos, and some places are also called wontons, copy your hands, eat more if it's delicious. ”
Yun Su sighed lightly in his heart, and he didn't know when the earth would be able to go back and see it again.
The big bowl is two pennies, the small bowl is one penny, the amount is not small, Yunsu ate a big bowl alone, the little guys ate a small portion, and even the little girl who was a few months old ate three, and Wang Xuanwu also added an extra small bowl.
Yunsu is no longer a mortal body, one night of valley, although the stomach is not hungry, it tastes very fragrant, a bowl of wontons down, plus a bowl of wonton noodle soup, very comfortable.
"Guest officer, the previous owner of Qingfeng Xiaozhu committed a crime and was killed, his wife committed suicide by throwing herself into the water, the house is not very clean, you have to think twice about how many children you have. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang took the opportunity of counting the money and leaned close to Yunsu and whispered a few words in his ear.
Yun Su nodded, paid seven copper coins, and didn't say much.
When I returned to Qingfeng Xiaozhu, the yard was cleaned up, Yun Sufa swept his eyes, and found that the corridor, room, and kitchen had been cleaned, and the weeds had been uprooted and cleaned, but the pool had not been cleaned.
Wang Er waited there with three small workers, and when he saw Yunsu nodded, he gave the three of them nine copper coins and sent them away.
"Mr. Su, I also brought the lease papers, and I paid them for three months at a time, and I told the adults about the deposit, and I will give you a waiver. ”
Yun Su looked at the paperwork, and it was clear at a glance, it was that kind of standard document, which said that the lease period was one year, three hundred yuan per month, and the rent was paid once in March, and the tenant and the tenant and the middleman were clearly written, so he took a small piece of broken silver.
Wang Er had already prepared, and after a brief inspection, he took out the bucket and weighed it, made up the copper coins, and the money deed was cleared, and said that if he wanted to buy this yard, he could go to the store office to find him at any time, and he would definitely help fight for a good price, etc., so he left the key and walked quickly.
Close the courtyard door, the whole courtyard seems quieter, there is a sense of coldness, a few little guys look through here and there, have a good time but not noisy, after all, they have been staying in the Xuanmu faction, and ordinary children are different.
Yunsu assigned a room, two main rooms, he lived in the east room, the middle was the hall, Wang Xuanji took Wang Xuanyu to live in the west room, and the side room next to the west room was divided into three little guys, sleeping in a bunk.
The remaining two partial rooms are temporarily used for storage, the east side of the yard is the kitchen, the place is not small, with its own firewood shed, but unfortunately the pots and pans are either broken or not, and they are directly thrown away by those helpers.
Yunsu saw that it was still early, so he simply took the children to go shopping again and bought all the bedding, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and vegetables, and couldn't buy too bad, because he bought a lot, and hired a board car to pull it back at one time.
After doing this, there was still one or two silver coins left to take down the mountain, plus more than a hundred copper coins.
Renting a house and prospering a home, Yunsu deeply experienced the taste of spending money like flowing water, but the little ones were having a lot of fun, Wang Xuanji was sensible, and he felt a little distressed about the silver, but he also understood that it was money that had to be spent, just thinking about how to help Brother Yun think of ways to make money together.
