Chapter 242 House Viewing
It is said that this restaurant is not expensive, but a few dishes cost one or two silver. If it were a better restaurant, it would be even more expensive.
This was the first time that Pang Ni had spent one tael of silver on a meal, and her heart was pounding, but she thought that the pomegranate had given her a precious tooth, and her mother had given her ten taels of fillings. The money was not used, and for the rest, she had to choose a better gift for the pomegranate.
Pomegranate is celebrating her birthday soon.
There are many good things in Fucheng, so she thought about buying them there, but there were pomegranates nearby, so it was difficult to choose. She had to think about how to carry the pomegranates on her back.
No, Pomegranate was going to visit the house next afternoon and asked her if she was going. Pang Ni shook her head decisively, "It's not fun to see the house. I want to walk around."
Pomegranate didn't force it and said: " That's it, I'll let Fudong follow You, go shopping around and don’t go too far. I’ll come find you later and let’s go to the night market together.”
“Okay!” Pang Ni was also excited when she heard that she could go to the night market at night. She had never been to a night market before.
Pomegranate watched Fu Dong and Pang Ni go out, and then went to the Children's Playhouse to wait for Song Yaren.
After waiting for a while, Song Yaren hurried over. As soon as he saw Pomegranate, he said: "We are just looking at the house, right? Come on, come on, someone wants to buy that house, we have to Get to the front.”
Shiliu knew that the houses in Fucheng were very expensive, but she never imagined that they would have to fight with others to buy a house.
At that moment, he hurriedly went out with the Song Ya people and headed east of the city together.
The house that Song Ya people are talking about is not far from Huilong Street. It is in the Lihua Hutong between the east and south of the city. It is a house with three entrances, with more than forty rooms in total. The room and two large courtyards are grand and spacious.
Pomegranate fell in love at first sight. Houses in Fucheng are rare. It’s so hard to find a house. How can you care about other things? As long as it's not a haunted house, I'll definitely take it down quickly!
“Songya people, I want this house. Where is the owner? Let’s go to the government office to transfer the ownership right now!”
Seeing her looking around, Song Yaren was about to make a decision. She didn't even ask about the price, but she really liked it. He immediately took her to find the owner of the house, and told Pomegranate the price of the house on the way.
When Shiliu heard that the house was selling for 185 taels, he thought that the same size house he had seen in Luoshui City before was only 95 taels. This extra nearly 100 taels is expensive. It’s the difference between a prefectural city and a county town.
It’s also really expensive.
This area is not the best in Fucheng. You can imagine how expensive the best ones are.
Fortunately, their family is now well-off, and he didn’t even have to blink an eye to buy the house worth more than 100 taels.
Buying real estate can preserve its value, and you can keep your money without losing money.
Soon I met the landlord. When the landlord saw Shiliu and saw the house, he wanted to buy it. As soon as his eyes rolled, he changed his mind and wanted to increase the price.
What he said was high-sounding, and he said that there was another buyer who also wanted to buy it. He also agreed to the other party. If Pomegranate was willing to pay more, it would be okay to sell the house to her.
When Song Yaren saw that the landlord changed his mind, he couldn't help but stand up and argue for Pomegranate. Although his commission would increase if the house price increased, Pomegranate was introduced by his relatives, so he trusted him to find Pomegranate. As for him, he can't cheat others.
But the landlord made up his mind that if Pomegranate wanted it, he would give her more money, so he refused to let go.
Shiliu was furious when she saw this, "In that case, Mr. Zhou should sell it to that buyer. I have no chance with this house." After that, he grabbed Song Yaren and left.
The landlord, Mr. Zhou, was anxious when he heard this. Although the buyer also wanted it, he was still hesitating about the price. Who knows whether he would like it in the end. He was in a hurry to sell the house to pay his son's gambling bills. It seems that his family was unfortunate and a prodigal son was born. Alas!
He hurriedly called to Pomegranate, "Girl, girl, let's discuss it easily! What do you think of this? My house has just been renovated, and the furniture in it is also very complete. I will give it all to you, and you will be with me." How about making up a whole number?”
Make up a whole number, that’s two hundred taels—
Pomegranate thought that although the furniture there wasn't that good, it was only fifteen taels of silver, which didn't mean much, but she just didn't want to let the other party succeed so easily. She raised the price just because she said it would. ah.
Song Yaren also saw Master Zhou's provocation, and couldn't help but whisper to Shiliu.
When Pomegranate heard it, oh, it turns out that Mr. Zhou was in a hurry to sell his property to pay for his son’s gambling debt!
I heard that Mr. Zhou also has a shop elsewhere this week. Pomegranate rolled his eyes and said, "I can make up a round number. If Mr. Zhou can sell me another shop, we can discuss it!"
When Master Zhou heard this, he hesitated. He has sold several houses and shops in succession, but the only thing missing is that he can settle his son's gambling debt by selling it. Now he only has two shops and the house where he lives, the ancestral property passed down from his ancestors. They are all going to be ruined by him. What will he leave to his descendants?
But think about it, isn’t it because the ancestors’ inheritance was too much that the son has no ambition to make progress and only eats, drinks and has fun all day long?
Selling a shop and leaving a shop for the family to eat and drink is enough, and let the son also taste the feeling of having no money -
Thinking like this, Mr. Zhou made up his mind I made up my mind and said, "If it works, sell it." I’ve got a shop for you!”
His shop is on Jinfu Street in the south of the city. It’s in a very good location. It has three doors and three floors, with a big yard at the back. It’s rented by someone who owns a restaurant. The rent is due next month.
Pomegranate went to see the shop and was very satisfied. As for having to wait a month to get the shop, she said it didn't matter. Mr. Zhou would also transfer this month's rent to her. Not a loss.
It's just that this shop is not cheap.
Her children's playhouse, with two floors and three rooms, was bought for two hundred and seventy taels. This one, in a better location and with a larger area, was sold for four hundred and twenty taels.
Good guy!
Although the pomegranate was a little painful, I didn’t hesitate to buy it.
At present, the two houses and shops went to the government office to transfer the ownership. Pomegranate gave Master Zhou 620 taels together, and paid the yamen eighteen taels in deed tax money, and then gave it to Songya people Eight taels of silver for the middleman.
The shop was not considered a purchase by him, and Mr. Zhou didn't even give him a share, so Song Yaren refused to ask for Pomegranate's share of the winning money, but Pomegranate still thanked him and gave him an extra two taels. silver.
This trip to the city cost a few hundred taels, and the harvest was quite fruitful. I got a house and a shop.
The store has not expired yet, so Pomegranate is not in a hurry. At the moment, she asked Song Yaren to help her. Although the house she had rented had been rented for a year, it was promised that the house could be rented out at the same time. Song Yaren helped her to do this smoothly.
Pomegranate then asked Li Jide and the others to go back and move their luggage to the newly bought house in Lihua Hutong. This house was closer to Tongwanzhai and it was more convenient to go back and forth.
When you buy a house, you need people to live in it before it becomes popular. If it doesn’t last for a long time, it will fall apart quickly. However, for convenience, Li Jide and the others live in a reversed house in the front yard. There is no one to clean the second and third steps in the back. It's not possible to live alone. There is such a big garden that needs to be taken care of.
Shiliu asked the Song Ya people to help introduce a Ya people, and brought a family of four who looked honest and honest, bought the four people, and took charge of taking care of the house.
After finishing all this work, it was getting dark, so Shiliu hurriedly went to meet Pang Ni and visit the night market.
