Seeking the Way of Immortality

This sleep, Wu Zheng slept for a whole day and night.

The waiter was very considerate and did not wake Wu Zheng up.

The next morning, Wu Zheng opened his eyes, stretched his body, stood up from the bed, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away, and his eyes were bright.

He fetched a bucket of water, took a nice bath, then changed into a clean blue shirt and walked out.

"Sir, you are awake!"

"Yes."

"Do you want to eat something?"

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Give me a breakfast and send it to my room."

"Okay! You go in first, I'll be back soon."

After a while, the waiter brought a breakfast, two baskets of buns, four dishes, and a large bowl of porridge.

Wu Zheng said while eating: "Waiter, I want to ask you something?"

"Sir, please go."

The waiter stood with his head down and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just want to know if I can rent a house here?"

"Oh, sir, do you mean you want to live here permanently?"

"Oh, no, I'm going to stay here for a while, and it's inconvenient to stay in an inn, so I want to rent a house." Wu Zheng explained.

"Then I'd like to ask, sir, are you just renting here, or do you want to do a small business?"

"Oh, if there is a store that can do small business, that would be even better!"

"Is that so! Sir, I suggest you go to the south of the city, there are some stores there, and there are also yards, which are quite good, but the price is a bit expensive." The waiter thought for a while and said.

"Okay, thank you."

"No problem, sir, do you need anything else?"

"Well, you settle the bill, I'll leave here in a while." Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay!" The waiter rang a bell and retreated.

After Wu Zheng finished his meal, he simply packed his bag and went downstairs. The waiter was already standing by the counter downstairs waiting for Wu Zheng. Because it was morning, there were fewer people in Yingkeju.

"Sir, you stayed for two nights and had breakfast, which is two taels and sixty coins." The waiter said quickly.

Wu Zheng took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the waiter: "After deducting two taels and forty-six coins, there are still two taels and forty coins left. Forty coins are given to you, and the other two taels of silver, you can exchange it for two hundred copper coins."

"Okay! Sir."

The waiter said, took out two strings of copper coins, each string was one hundred coins, and handed them to Wu Zheng: "Sir, please keep it, welcome to come again next time."

Wu Zheng nodded and walked out of Yingkeju.

After Wu Zheng left, the waiter started his busy life again. However, there were not many guests as generous as Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng had not stayed here for long, and the waiter collected more than one tael of tip from Wu Zheng. This was also the reason why the waiter was relatively attentive to Wu Zheng.

You know, one tael of silver is enough for a family of four to eat for five days, and it is quite good.

Two taels of gold is enough for a family of four to live for a year. Of course, the store charges are relatively expensive, but the food in the store is much better than that of an ordinary family, whether it is the living environment or the service attitude.

Wu Zheng is not a good person. Although his money comes more easily, he cannot squander it without limit. Therefore, Wu Zheng is still very frugal when spending money.

He has a lot of gold, only a little silver, and no copper coins, which is why Wu Zheng exchanged for 200 copper coins.

South City.

Compared with the Yingke Residence, this place is poorer, and the location here is relatively cheaper. Most people here are relatively poor, and they are generally people who rely on their skills to make a living.

There are blacksmiths, carpenters, clothes sellers, and snacks sellers. Vegetable vendors, animal fur sellers, yam sellers, and fish sellers can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. Anyway, as long as it is needed for home life, it can be found everywhere.

This street is several miles long. The fewer people there are, the quieter the shouting. It looks like a market outside, and there are many shops and people living at home inside.

After walking for nearly an incense stick of time, Wu Zheng stopped at the door of a carpenter.

The plaque on the carpenter's door reads "Wang's Carpenter", and there is a piece of paper at the entrance, which reads "This store is for sale. If you are interested, please contact us. The price is negotiable. '

"Brother, do you want to buy a house?" A white-haired old man in his seventies stood at the door with a cane and said to Wu Zheng.

"Yes, old man."

"Oh, then come in and talk first!"

The old man walked into the room with his cane.

"Old lady, guests are coming!"

"I know!"

"Young man, please sit down first, the tea will be here soon." The old man greeted.

"Old man, what's your surname?"

"Oh, my surname is Wang, my name is Dewang, young man, what's your surname?"

"Old man, I'm Wu Zheng." Wu Zheng stood up and bowed.

"Sit down, sit down," Wang Dewang waved his hand and said.

"From your accent, you are not a local!"

"Yes, old man, I came from the other side of the mountain."

"Oh, I thought so! Want to do business?"

"Yes, old man, I want to make a living here, so I can support myself."

"That's right, young man, as long as you are not lazy and work hard, you can definitely support yourself here, and if you wait too long, you won't want to go back!" Wang Dewang said with a smile.

"Old man, tea is here!" Soon, an old woman who was about the same age as Wang Dewang came in with two bowls of tea.

Wu Zheng quickly stood up and took the tea tray: "Thank you, old man!"

"It's okay, it's okay, sensible young man." After that, the old woman walked out with a smile.

"Young man, what business are you going to do?" Wang Dewang asked.

Wu Zheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Old man, I haven't made up my mind yet. I want to find a place to live first. I can decide after I understand the market here."

"Oh, that's it."

"Old man, I want to ask, how much does this store cost?"

"Oh, this store! There is a shop outside the store, about 100 square meters, with a large yard in the middle, twice the size of the store, and three houses behind the yard, all of which are for living. There is another yard behind the house, which is for storing sundries. The whole store is nearly 600 square meters. According to the current market price of 20 taels of silver per square meter, the total is 120 taels of gold. As for the trees and flowers in the yard, they are all given to you!" Wang Dewang said while pinching his fingers.

Before coming here, Wu Zheng had inquired about the house prices here, and what Wang Dewang said was reasonable. Wu Zheng also looked at several stores, but none of them were as clean and grand as this store, and the asking price was very high.

"Old man, this price is reasonable. I would like to ask, when can we sign the land deed?" Wu Zheng thought for a while and said.

"Oh, if we sign the land deed today, we will move out tomorrow."

"Old man, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm old! I'm going to Yanjing to live with my son." Wang Dewang said with a smile.

"That's great, is it your son who will pick you up?" Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Oh, my wife and I are both strong, and it's not far from here to Yanjing, so we can go directly there." Wang Dewang thought for a while and said.

"Oh, that's it! Old man, I will sign the land deed with you today, and you can leave whenever you want, what do you think?" Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Hehe, young man, you are such a good young man! There are not many young people like you now!" Wang Dewang said with emotion.

"Hehe." Wu Zheng scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, young man, I'll ask my wife to clean up a room first, and you can live here today. Let's get drunk together."

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

"Old woman, cook! Brother Wu will live in our house today!"

"Okay!" The old woman's voice came from far away in the room.

"Father-in-law, why don't we sign the land deed now!"

"Okay, you stay for a while, I'll go to the room to get the land deed, and we'll go to the nearest government office to transfer the land deed together." Wang Dewang thought for a while and said.

Wu Zheng nodded.
