Volume 2 Chapter 6 Buying a House in Ancient Times
"Very well, then the second question, what kind of place is this? You don't have to feel strange, my son has traveled all over the world, and wherever he goes, he doesn't know what year it is, and he doesn't know where he is. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Peng looked at the increasingly weird expression of the shopkeeper and explained slightly.
The shopkeeper suddenly looked at Xiao Peng's eyes and couldn't help but be more respectful, and even brought a hint of awe. If you want to travel the world, you can't do it without the skills of others, and you may be killed by someone for money in which corner, so for Xiao Peng, a person who has forgotten when and where he is when and where he is when he has traveled the world, Xiao Er can only look at it with a worship mentality.
"Hui Gongzi, this is Taiping Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Dengfeng County, Henan, and is more than 300 miles away from Dengfeng County. Xiao Er replied respectfully.
Xiao Peng nodded, since this is Dengfeng, it is not far from Shaolin Temple, and it should not be far from Majiazhuang, "Do you know where Majiazhuang is?"
"Majiazhuang? I really don't know this little one, the little one grew up here, and the farthest place he has been to is only forty miles away in Furong Town, and he is not familiar with other places. "Xiao Er didn't dare to hide and deceive in the slightest, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, after all, if he obviously doesn't know, but he casually talks about a place for ten taels of silver, when the other party knows that he lied to him, it is estimated that these ten silver cars have their lives to earn and not to spend.
Xiao Peng was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, after all, the traffic conditions in ancient times were not as good as those of later generations, except for a small number of people, many people had never even been out of the villages and towns where they lived in their lives, and they were blind.
It's just that in this way, he may find a place to stay in this town, so that he can inquire slowly in the future, after all, there are many inconveniences in the guest house, and Xiao Peng also has a faint guess in his heart, the main god can't put himself in a place that has nothing to do with the plot, maybe there is some connection between this Taiping Town and the plot.
"Okay, last question, in Taiping Town, where can I rent a house, or buy a house?" Xiao Peng asked the last question.
Xiao Er's heart jumped, this is the last question, I don't know my previous answer This master is not satisfied, glanced at the ingot silver in Xiao Peng's hand, Xiao Er replied quickly: "There is a house in the west of the city, all built by the rich gentry in the town, it has been empty, and some are also used for rent, but I haven't heard of any of them selling it yet, after all, the house is not cheap, and the son can go to the broker (the title of the ancient intermediary) hall to find the broker and ask, they know best." ”
Xiao Peng nodded, and was basically satisfied with Xiao Er's answer, "Okay! These ten taels of silver are yours." After speaking, he threw the silver ingot in his hand to the shopkeeper.
The little second-hand hurriedly caught it, and his face was flushed with excitement, ten taels of silver, which was equivalent to his salary for most of the year, "Thank you Gongzi for rewarding, if Gongzi has any other instructions, just open your mouth, the little one promises to do it properly for Gongzi." ”
Xiao Peng smiled slightly and said, "I'll call you if there's something, you go to Zhang Luo first!"
"Eh, Childe, wait a minute, the wine and food will be here soon. Xiao Er went out of the room and closed the door with his hand.
Listening to Xiao Er's fiery footsteps, Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head, sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, it seems that spending reward points to exchange for gold and silver is really a good move!
Wine and food are very soon on the list, not to mention, the Qing Dynasty diet has made great progress, although the seasoning is not yet modern times, but in the cooking is better, because the seasoning is not rich enough, so the cooking of this era pays more attention to the characteristics of the ingredients themselves. It's just that this wine is really not good, Xiao Peng has already practiced the amount of alcohol in the world of Gu Chaozai, coupled with his strong physique, he was known as one and a half pounds of liquor, and beer was poured casually.
After a pot of wine, Xiao Peng didn't even blush. After eating and drinking, Xiao Peng habitually went to his pocket, only to find that his clothes had no pockets at all, and the two-piece cigarette lighter set that would never be missing in his pocket naturally did not exist.
"Nima, it's a mistake, it's a mistake, you must prepare more cigarettes and put it in the ring when you go back this time. "Smash it, smash it, there is no after-dinner smoke, Xiao Peng always feels that something is missing, but there is no way, if you want to smoke in this era, you can only go to dry tobacco, but the taste of dry tobacco ...... Forget it, bear with me!
Let Xiao Er find a baggage cloth for himself, Xiao Peng took out a large amount of gold and silver from the Sumeru ring, wrapped it in the baggage cloth, and walked out of the inn under Xiao Er's attentive gaze, walked towards a money village not far from the inn, entered the money village, and exchanged the gold and silver for silver tickets, Xiao Peng got a total of more than 25,000 taels of silver tickets, and stuffed them into the placket, Xiao Peng walked towards the address of the broker hall that Xiao Er told him.
In an old courtyard, Xiao Peng met the real estate agent of this era, an old broker with gray hair, and without much effort, Xiao Peng directly chose a house, and the old broker took Xiao Peng to the owner's house of the house.
Xiao Peng stood in front of the gate of a mansion, two mighty stone lions were lying on both sides, two vermilion doors hung with a thick copper ring, and directly above the gate was a door plaque with the word "Lin Fu" written on it. The old broker stepped forward and knocked on the brass ring, and soon a porter opened the door, "Hey, old king, why are you here?"
The old broker smiled and said, "So that the little brother can learn that the house built by Master Lin in the west of the city was taken by this son, and the little old man specially brought this son to talk to Master Lin about the price, and went to see the house by the way." ”
"I see, let's go in first! I'll go and tell the master. The porter didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly opened the door of the mansion to invite the two of them in, this is his master's business coming to the door, if his business is disturbed because of his neglect, it is estimated that he will not be able to do it in this Lin Mansion.
Soon, Xiao Peng and the old broker were welcomed in by the porter. Master Lin is a middle-aged fat man with a wide body and a fat body, with a kind smile on his face at any time, it is no wonder that this Master Lin can make the business so big, just his face makes people feel a little cordial at first sight, and it is much easier to talk about business later.
"Master Lin, this is Xiao Gongzi, he took a fancy to the house in the west of your city, and came to negotiate with the master, Xiao Gongzi, this is the owner of the house, Master Lin, who is a well-known honest person in this generation, you buy his house, yes." ”
Listening to the old broker's words, Master Lin's already smiling face added a little joy, and he was about to collide with Maitreya Buddha, "Hehe, I can't imagine that Xiao Gongzi is not only a talent, but also has a rich family at a young age, and he will have a bright future in the future!"
"Huh"
Xiao Peng put away the folding fan, clasped his fists with both hands, and smiled at Master Lin: "Master Lin has won the award, in front of Master Lin, he is just a fledgling hairy boy, how can he afford to have a rich family?"
"Hahahaha, Xiao Gongzi is too modest, Gongzi's biggest advantage is that he is young, when Xiao Gongzi reaches my age, maybe my Lin family will have to ask Gongzi to take care of one or two! Okay! Let's not be polite here, why don't we go to see the house first?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be." ”
Master Lin immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair, and several people got on the sedan chair and headed to the west of the city.
