Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 48: Buying a Sho

He Zifeng said: "There's no rush."

...

Early the next morning, Qiu Yu specially wore a high-collared gown to hide the marks on her neck.

He glared at He Zifeng, who was carrying things onto the carriage. As if feeling Qiu Yu's gaze, he immediately went over to kiss her and said, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Yu said: "It used to be better when Ranran was at home, but now it's getting more and more excessive." Last night was ridiculous until the middle of the night. If he hadn't said a lot of coaxing words, he wouldn't be able to rest.

He Zifeng said: "It's inconvenient when my son is here!"

Qiu Yu's ears felt a little hot, but she didn't want to listen to his dirty talk.

Then I got in the car, and it was not as comfortable as sitting outside in the carriage. He came out again and leaned next to He Zifeng, driving the carriage there. It had just rained a few days ago, and when the carriage was running, you could smell the natural scent of earth from the trees on both sides.

As soon as they passed by, they saw the old diners gathered around them. If you come early, you can still choose. Those who came late could only see what was left.

In the end, they were all sold out, and He Zifeng stored the carriage, goods, shelves, etc. in the small backyard they rented.

Then he took Qiu Yu to the shop at the end of the street. There are many shops in this street. Most of them are open for business. Only a few of them had their doors closed. This shop used to be a tavern and then closed. It has been on sale for two and a half years.

The surrounding prices for the upper and lower floors are around 240 taels. "

He Zifeng went over and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man came out with a somewhat unpleasant tone and attitude: "Who is it?"

He Zifeng was on vacation now, and he didn't wear the clothes of a government official. He just said, "I want to see the shop."

The middle-aged man yawned and said, "Sure, I'll just sell it and not rent it. Two hundred and eighty taels, no different price."

He Zifeng felt that this man was also weird at fixing the price, as if he brought the money here after knowing about it.

Then the door was opened, and He Zifeng and Qiu Yu went in to take a look. The furnishings inside look a bit old. People can live upstairs. There can be about ten tables downstairs, there is a kitchen, and there is a small yard behind. Although the yard is not big, there is a well in the yard, and they like it very much! If there is a well, it will be more convenient to get water. For example, when they make braised food, they have to do a lot of cleaning.

Qiu Yu said: "If it gets late in the future, we don't have to go back. We can just stay in the store."

He Zifeng said to the landlord: "Can it be cheaper?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party got a little angry: "What's wrong with you? You said the price is the same, the price is the same."

At this time, a man came in from the outside and was also setting up a stall to buy cakes. He said: "Old Xu, borrow an ax." He was obviously a good friend of the homeowner.

Lao Xu waved his hand casually and went in to look for it himself. The familiar person didn't rush away after getting the axe, he just stood there and watched the excitement.

He Zifeng was stunned. He didn't expect his temper to be so harsh, but everyone has their own personality. Seeing that Qiu Yu really liked this shop, he said: "Okay, we bought it for two hundred and eighty taels. When can we go to the Yamen?" Oral formalities."

Lao Xu said: "Let me agree first, two hundred and eighty taels is an empty house. It does not have tables, chairs, benches, or stoves. If you keep them all, you will have to give me five taels of silver. In addition, we will spend money to dig the well. Yes. If you dig this well in the county, you can get out fifteen taels of silver. If you want it, I won't ask you how much you want. You can take the ten taels of silver."

He Zifeng was almost laughing at the joke made by him. The tables, chairs and benches together were not worth five taels of silver. Forget it. The money for digging the well had to be counted in addition to the shop. There was no reason to go anywhere. "Your shop is inherently more expensive than other shops. I didn't bargain with you. If you move away the tables, chairs and benches, why don't you settle the price with us for the well?"

Lao Xu glared and said, "That's not possible. My shop is good, and you can't buy it from the ones around you! You must give me the ten taels of silver in every word."

Qiu Yu has never seen such a careless person. He can move the tables, chairs and benches, but can he also move the well? Said: "What if we only give two hundred and eighty taels."

Lao Xu said: "I will find someone to fill the well, and I won't give you any advantages. A shop is a shop, and a well is a well."

When Qiu Yu heard that he was so unreasonable, she became a little angry: "I won't buy it."

Lao Xu didn't care at all and said: "If you don't buy it, there are many people who will!"

"You." Qiu Yu became a little angry when she saw him like this.

He Zifeng said: "Then you can sell it to someone else." After that, he took his wife and left.

As soon as I walked out, I saw Brother Xiong patrolling the streets with the petite Diao Fei beside him.

When they saw He Zifeng, they quickly came over to say hello and asked about his recovery.

Lao Xu in the room was a little nervous when he saw that he actually knew the yamen servant: "Who is this person?"

The cake seller said, "You don't know how dare you be so arrogant to him, he is a government servant."

Lao Xu was a little nervous, but he said stiffly: "What's wrong with the yamen servant? If I don't sell him, he can still come and rob him. Besides, he's not wearing the yamen servant's clothes. Who knows who he is." When he said this, he stretched his neck and looked outside. I am afraid that others will avenge themselves. Not as horizontal as before.

Diao Fei and Brother Xiong saw it and said, "Why did you come out of his house?"

He Zifeng said: "Don't mention it." Then he told the two of them that he wanted to buy a shop to see if they liked it. He sits on the ground and raises the price, and charges for the well dug in the courtyard. Does he have the look of being taken advantage of?

Diao Fei said: "Brother He, don't be so familiar with him. This man's work is not done in a day or two. If he hadn't been so temperamental, how could the house not be sold for two years? Back then, his shop was rented to a tavern and he watched others make money. Later, the price increased and the original tavern was driven away. He followed suit and opened another one. The business was not good, and within a few days there was no one around. He had this precedent, and no one came to rent his house, and now there is no one to rent his house. If he changed it to selling it, I would say it would be best for him to let this house rot in his hands."

Brother Xiong said: "Hey, Xiao Diao's uncle has a shop that he wants to sell."

When Diao Fei heard this, he said, "My uncle's shop is a bit small, and Brother He probably doesn't like it."

He Zifeng said: "Go over and take a look." He went over and saw that it was already rented and it was now a small grocery store. The place is not big but every corner is used. The full shop looked very comfortable. This shop did not have a second floor. The tenant's family of three built a shed and built a ladder to live on it.

Diao Fei's uncle was the landlord and said, "My son recently got married to use the money, otherwise I wouldn't have sold the house. Since you are Xiao Fei's colleague, I don't want more. You can take the eighty taels of silver! That's it." The annual rent for this shop is only four taels of silver. The food and rent alone are worth it."
