Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 374

The fat young man smiled and said, "It turns out that my lady knows this young lady. It is fate. You are the three friends who want to buy the shop. I am the owner of the shop in Yunshuifang. If you are sincere, I can give you a little less."

Song Ying was stunned and asked in confusion, "I remember that Shopkeeper Xu said that you seem to be a rice shop in the east of the city. Since you can open a rice shop in the east of the city, I think your family is not poor. Why are you in such a hurry to sell the shop?"

Boss Zhang was stunned for a moment and praised: "Young girl, you have a really good memory. You can still remember things from such a long time ago. We do have a rice shop in the east of the city. It is because of that rice shop that we are in a hurry to sell the shop in Yunshuifang."

It turned out that shops in the east of the city were very expensive and not something that could be bought just by having money. Boss Zhang's shop was rented and he had to pay a huge rent every month.

The rice business was originally good, and the high rent only meant a little less profit.

Unexpectedly, due to the rise of the north of the city, many writing brush, inkstone, paper and other shops originally in the east of the city moved to the north of the city, and many even opened branches in the north of the city.

With fewer people in the east of the city, the rice shop's business was not as good as before. After paying rent and commercial taxes, the profit was very little, and sometimes even a loss.

When Boss Zhang saw that this was not going to work, he took out his savings and bought a shop in the south and north of the city, intending to make money from the people there.

The one in the north of the city was cheaper when it was bought because of the apricot tree at the door. Boss Zhang originally wanted to cut down the tree later, but the government forbade him to cut it down and wanted to keep it to create an atmosphere for scholars.

Rice and flour had to be imported, so customers were very cautious and usually only bought from familiar old shops. There wasn't much advantage in opening a new shop, and there was a tree blocking the view, so passers-by couldn't even see the food, and business was terrible.

As the day to pay the rent for the rice shop in the east of the city had approached and he was short of money, he was in a hurry to sell the shop in Yunshuifang.

Luo Yanxing was very satisfied with the small building and the patio. Upon hearing this, he immediately asked, "How much less are you willing to pay?"

Boss Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you 5 taels less. If you really want it, it will be 135 taels. This is my lowest price. If you don't want it, I will move my shop in the east of the city to a shop in a worse location. Anyway, I've been running it for so many years and have accumulated a lot of customers. Even if the location is a little worse, I won't lose many customers."

Luo Yanxing immediately looked at Song Ying and Lin Wenxuan, and asked expectantly, "What do you think?"

Boss Zhang saw that someone was interested and said hurriedly, "135 taels is really not expensive to buy such a spacious shop. Although the location is a bit bad, the house behind is not bad. It is very convenient to settle down there.

What's more, with Jiahu Academy, the housing prices in the north of the city will only get more and more expensive. Even if you don't open a shop in the future, you can rent it out as a house and the income will not be low. If I hadn't been unable to make ends meet, I wouldn't have sold it."

Song Ying thought for a moment and said to Mr. Zhang and his wife, "Please go to the clinic and wait for a moment. Have some tea and we will discuss it."

Although Boss Zhang was anxious, he also knew that buying a house was a big deal and it was impossible to decide on a whim, so he agreed and went to the clinic with his wife to chat and drink tea with Doctor Ma.

Song Ying and the other two returned to the pharmacy, and she asked Lin Wenxuan: "Brother, what is your opinion?"

Luo Yanxing's attitude was clear on his face, no need to ask.

Lin Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "The house at the back is great. This time we bought a house and a shop. 135 taels for a small house is indeed a bit expensive.

But what Boss Zhang said was right. The housing prices in the north of the city will only get higher and higher in the future. What's more, the house is right by the lake, facing Jiahu Academy across the lake.

When I make money in the future and move to another place, I can rent the house to students. With the excellent location and the quiet environment behind the house, the price can be higher than other places. "

When Song Ying heard Boss Zhang say that housing prices in the north of the city would only get more expensive in the future, she was also tempted, so she asked Lin Wenxuan, the only one who had an uncertain attitude.

After hearing what he said, I was even more excited. That location is not good for a shop, but if it is used as a residence, it will be a perfect location!

There are many scholars from wealthy families in Jiahu Academy. These people are not short of money, so if they rent the place in the future, they will not have to worry about the high price.

She smiled and said, "Then let's go sign the contract with Boss Zhang."

Luo Yanxing jumped up excitedly, "Let's go, let's go!"

Having made the decision, the three of them, together with Boss Zhang and his wife, found a real estate agent, invited the head of Yunshuifang and the neighbors to act as middlemen, and asked a scribe from the yamen to write the deed, and signed the house deed in public.

Then we went to the government office to register the matter, and it was three days later when everything was done.

The three of them stood under the lush apricot tree, looking at the shop under the green shade, and were very excited.

"This will be our shop from now on." Song Ying said softly.

Luo Yan took a step forward and stood beside her, "I also have a home in the city."

As she spoke, she felt her eyes well up. She didn't need to be afraid when her parents threatened her in the future. Even if they didn't let her go home, she would have a place to live and food to eat, and she wouldn't be left cold or hungry.

Song Ying noticed the faint sob in her words, so he held her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid anymore."

Ever since she became his apprentice, her master has treated her like his own daughter, and her uncle has put teaching first in everything. He lets her go on her own and tries things, and just silently supports her from behind. Gradually, she no longer has the insecure feeling of drifting like duckweed.

But the fear of being a drifter in Yan Xing's heart never disappeared.

That's why she was so eager to come to the city, seeking change and opportunity.

Now, they have a home and will no longer be threatened and kicked out of the house.

Lin Wenxuan didn't have as many emotions as them. He waited for the two to digest their emotions before saying, "Let's go in. We still need to discuss what to buy."

Luo Yanxing wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Don't worry about these for now! I want to go to the small building at the back first!"

"Let's go and see our future room." Song Ying also became excited.

When passing by the patio, Song Ying jumped on the smooth stone slab and said, "This big stone slab is great. I don't have to worry about getting my shoes dirty on rainy days. It's a pity that weeds are growing in these cracks. How about planting some herbs?"

Luo Yanxing disagreed: "This is our home, why grow herbs? Let's grow vegetables, so we don't have to buy vegetables."

"How many vegetables can be planted in such a small gap? It looks strange. It's better to plant some herbs, choose some beautiful flowering plants, such as..."

They said they were going to see the small building, but ended up discussing it here. Lin Wenxuan found it very funny, but he did not urge them. Instead, he joined their discussion, "In my opinion, we should just plant ordinary flowers and plants, and choose those with good meanings..."
