Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

I went to see the house today. There was a clerk from the government office who took me to see the house, and there was a dental shop owner. The dental shop owner was very happy. He said that no one would buy a house at the moment, and thought it could be closed. Unexpectedly The big hero sent him business.

I:"……"

Chen Xiang, Fenglai, and Rongniang are all here. Everyone is very interested in the big house, and they all follow to pick it. Anyway, staying at home has nothing to do.

The owner of the tooth shop, surnamed Zhao, looked at me enviously and said that I am very lucky.

I looked behind me, isn't it? A lush and beautiful young man, a world-renowned luthier, a newly promoted oiran...

Haha, they are quite conspicuous on the road, but those two are not mine. I pulled Chen Xiang over and said, "Boss Zhao is joking, I am just this husband, and those two are friends, staying at my house temporarily."

Boss Zhao said oh, I guess he doesn't believe it.

Along the way, I saw many officers and soldiers helping the common people repair their houses and run errands. Now there are soldiers and civilians kissing each other, which is great.

The past few days have been sunny and happy, and I almost forgot that this is a war-torn city. Only now did I find out that the impact and damage caused by the war have not disappeared.

In fact, this war felt like a small fight. It was not a big war, and it was not a tragedy, but it still led to the misery of the people. We are all safe, but many people’s homes have been damaged. We saw more than one family wearing sackcloth. , crying to send off their loved ones.

The mood gradually became heavy.

I also remembered that Mr. Wang said that I should always think about doing something for the people, yes, what can I do, I am probably one of the most carefree people in Fengzhou City now.New houses, land, cattle, silver, and official positions.

I have to think about this issue.

We looked at several houses, and in the end we all liked a house in the southeast of the city. This house was bought by a wealthy family for our mother, but the old man didn’t come to live in it, so it was left unoccupied, that is to say, it was a brand new house.

All the houses here like to have a walled yard, and this house also has a large and empty yard, and you can see three big rooms by bypassing the screen wall when you enter the door.

In fact, our current small house can barely be regarded as three rooms, but it is too small, and this house is too big.

The house is tall, spacious, and the windows are big, very bright.

The one in the middle is the living room, which is transparent from the north to the south, with a carved door on each side, leading to two large rooms. There is nothing in the room, which is just what I want, and I want to design it myself.

The key is that the room is big enough, big enough!There are also three rooms, the big three and the small three are different. The room size of this house is close to twice the size of our current hut.

Our current bedroom is very crowded with a bed and a cabinet. The gap between the bed and the wall is only enough for one person to walk, and the cabinet is also very small.The bedroom of this house... I made a gesture. It can put down a bed, a large cabinet with four doors, and a table and chair, and it is quite spacious.

It's perfect, I don't ask for a beautiful palace, as long as the room is spacious, clean and tidy.

The kitchen is still at the back of the house, which is not counted among the three rooms.

I asked the people in the government office if they could build two side rooms, which met the regulations. The people in the government office said yes, and the reward would be the courtyard and the three rooms inside. From now on, it will be mine. As for how I want to change it, That is my freedom, as long as it is not higher than the official standard.

Then I have counted, my house is not too big, not as big as the Cui family's, and it is completely within the regulations. I plan to build a side room for storage.

Chen Xiang likes this big yard very much. He is excited to plan what to do here and what to do there. This is also the reason why I choose this yard. Usually the backyard is small, but this one is also big. Dream it!

I had decided on this house at that time, and the people in the government office told me that they would go through the formalities for me, and just go to the government office in the afternoon.

He left after speaking.I asked Boss Zhao: "Do you have any other houses in your hand? I want to buy one for a shop, the kind that can be used as a shop in the front and a workshop in the backyard."

Boss Zhao jumped three feet high, and said happily: "Yes, yes! Let's go back on the way, I will take you to see it!"

I said yes, Chen Xiang asked me if I wanted to turn on half of the streamer, I said yes, what Chen Xiang said was that it was too early, and it would not be good to start a business at this moment, and the money at home is limited, so we should save it some flowers.

I said to have a look first, whether to buy or not depends on Boss Zhao's price.

Boss Zhao: "..."

The shop Boss Zhao said is not too far from our new home. I am very satisfied with the location, so I don’t have to walk a long way to work every day.

There is a bright room in front of the shop, and there is a small courtyard at the back, which is not too big. There are two rows of side rooms in the yard, which are simple and clean. There are quite a lot of windows in the side rooms. I am quite satisfied with this. Needlework is a must The light is good, and there must be ventilation, otherwise the dust pollution will be quite serious.

I asked how much the shop cost.Boss Zhao said 120 taels of silver.

I think it's a bit expensive. Boss Zhao said it's not that expensive. It usually costs 200 taels, which is the price now.

I'm not very good at bargaining, and I regret that I didn't bring a bent account house. I can afford this house now, but I don't want to spend so much money on such a house. Chen Xiang is right, and I still have to save money.

So I said forget it, Boss Zhao was in a hurry, he said no, I will rent it first, it is cheaper to rent, I asked how much the rent is, he said two or two a month.

I think it’s okay. This shop is better than the one we rented before. It has more yards. The price is really not expensive. Give me this price.

Boss Zhao said he could guarantee the price for two years. After two years, the price will definitely increase when the national mourning period is coming to an end. I said no problem.

I then asked if there was any house near the Fuya, and he said no, but there was a three-story building that was vacant on the street in front of the Fuya.

I asked him to take me to see it, and he wondered why I bought so many houses.

Haha, I won’t tell him. I’ve read the bulletin board, and the Yamen hasn’t announced the establishment of Fengzhou as a scientific test site. Only I know about this business opportunity at this moment!

That's right, I want to open an inn, and the money earned by the examinees is enough to pay back the capital every year, not to mention that Fengzhou is a big city, and after the economic recovery, people come and go very frequently, so I am not afraid that my inn will not be prosperous.

This is the new job I found for myself. I figured it out overnight. Awesome, isn't it? !

This three-story building is the same as the surrounding three-story buildings. There is nothing too special. They are all equally beautiful and atmospheric.

Haha!

I asked how much it was, and he said it was expensive, costing 180 taels, which is a price only now, and usually costs 300 taels.

Alas, the war really affects the economy!

But... I can't stop bargaining because of this, so I asked Chen Xiang to run around and help me find the accountant.

Mr. Feng followed suit, and Rong Niang and I stayed here to look after the house.

This small building is really nice, there are many windows on the upper floor, and each room is small. According to Boss Zhao, it used to be an inn. The boss ran away before the war and asked him to sell the house.

I took a look, and the division of the rooms inside is pretty neat. There are four small rooms on the first floor, six on the second floor, and six on the third floor. They are a bit crowded. They are all single rooms. Just make a few changes. I don’t plan to There are so many rooms, too crowded room is not conducive to my price increase.

I am very satisfied with the house, and it was good to ask the original landlord, and nothing bad happened in the house, so that's all.

I chatted with Boss Zhao until Accountant Qu came. Accountant Qu congratulated me first, then asked me what was the matter, and I pointed to the building: "I want to buy it."

Qu accountant: "..." understood.

Then he called Boss Zhao aside, and the two had a verbal battle. I told Chen Xiang about the plan next to me, and when I finished talking about the plan and went downstairs, the price reached 130 taels.

really do.

Boss Zhao looked resentful, Accountant Qu looked proud, these two people are really interesting.

I regret that I didn't call the accountant when I rented the shop.

I thanked Qu Accountant and said that I would invite him to dinner. According to the account, there is no hotel open now.

We went to the dental office, signed the paperwork, and I went home to get the money, and the building was mine.

It is estimated that when the government announces that Fengzhou has become a scientific research site, the land price here will increase several times, and Boss Zhao will cry to death in front of my house.

But once the money is spent, my family will no longer have a lot of money, and now I am a vagrant again, so I have to quickly turn on half of the streamer to make money.

I checked and found that there are 34 taels of silver left in the house, after excluding the daily expenses, if you want to renovate, which of the three houses should be installed first?

Of course, it is half a streamer. This decoration is the simplest, the cost is the lowest, and it can make money.

When I got home, Chen Xiang asked me why I turned on half of the streamer. Business is not easy now.

I told him what Master Wang said, and then I said: "This war has brought heavy disasters to the people of Fengzhou. It is good that the family is short of money and food. Many families are ruined, and some girls and brothers are even killed. When it comes to insults, what about those children who have lost their parents, what about those girls and brothers who are rejected by their families because of being insulted? How will they gain a foothold in this world?"

"Although our shop is not big, we can't afford many people at present, but at least we have given them a living. Maybe with the little wages we give, they can gain a firm foothold at home, do you remember? Sister-in-law Fen, she straightened her waist in front of her mother-in-law because she got her wages, so now we are helping more girls and younger brothers to straighten their waists."

After Chen Xiang listened in a daze, Feng Lai and Rong Niang were also a little dazed.

Rong Niang said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang is really a kind person. At this time, he still wants to help others. I think it's good to be able to protect myself."

I smiled and said, "Because we have never existed in isolation in this world. We have to contribute to this world in this world, and there is nothing that does not concern us."

Rong Niang thought for a while and said, "I want to help too, can I?"

I said, "You have to ask shopkeeper Chen, I have to rely on him now."

Chen Xiang gave me a white look, and said, "Of course I can. I'll let Mrs. Zhu tell Xiangzhi and Mrs. Fen to come here as soon as possible, so we can open the shop as soon as possible."

Naturally, it needs to be started early. I suggest that some short-term workers can be recruited first, and then stay after doing well.

Chen Xiang said yes, but what should we do?

I:"……"

Yes, what are we going to do?What do people need at this time?

That's a problem I'm going to figure out before they get the shop out, big head.
