Chapter 36 Buying a House in Ancient Times

"Very well, then the second question, what is this place? You don't have to be surprised. I have traveled all over the world, and I don't know what year it is. I don't know where I am. That's a common thing. , you answer me truthfully." Xiao Peng looked at the shop waiter's increasingly weird expression and explained a little.

It was only then that the waiter in the shop suddenly realized that he looked at Xiao Peng more respectfully, even with a hint of awe.If you want to travel around the world, you can't do it without extraordinary skills. You may be murdered for money in any corner, so for Xiao Peng, who travels the world and forgets when and where he is , Xiao Er can only look at it with the mentality of worship.

"Young Master, this is Taiping Town under the jurisdiction of Dengfeng County, Henan Province. It is more than 300 miles away from Dengfeng County." Xiaoer replied respectfully.

Xiao Peng nodded. Since this is within the territory of Dengfeng, it is not far from Shaolin Temple, and it should not be far from Majiazhuang. "Do you know where Majiazhuang is?"

"Majiazhuang? This little one really doesn't know. I grew up here, and the farthest place I've been to is Furong Town, forty miles away. I'm not familiar with other places." If you dare to conceal and deceive in the slightest, if you know it, you know it, and if you don’t know it, you don’t know it. After all, if you don’t know it, but just talk about a location for ten taels of silver, when the other party knows that you lied to him, you probably have the ten silver coins. Life is earned but life is spent.

Xiao Peng was slightly taken aback, and then realized that the traffic conditions in ancient times were not comparable to those in later generations. Except for a small number of people, many people have never even left their villages and towns in their entire lives, and they are considered blind.

It's just that I should find a place to stay in this town so that I can inquire slowly in the future. After all, staying in an inn is also inconvenient, and Xiao Peng also has a vague guess in his heart that it is impossible for the Lord God to put himself in a place that has nothing to do with the plot. For irrelevant places, maybe there is some connection between this Taiping Town and the plot.

"Okay! Last question, where can I rent a house in Taiping Town, or buy a house?" Xiao Peng asked the last question.

Xiao Er's heart skipped a beat, this was the last question, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied with his previous answer, so he glanced at the ingot of silver in Xiao Peng's hand, and Xiao Er quickly replied: "It's on the west side of the city. There is a house that was built by the wealthy gentry in the town. It has been vacant all the time, and some of them are also used for rent, but I haven’t heard of any one being sold yet. After all, the house is not cheap, and you can go to a broker ( The name of the ancient intermediary) Museum to ask brokers, they know best."

Xiao Peng nodded, basically satisfied with Xiao Er's answer, "Okay! The ten taels of silver are yours." After speaking, he threw the silver ingot in his hand to the shop Xiao Er.

The little second-hand caught it in a hurry, his face flushed with excitement, ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to half a year's wages, "Thank you, young master, if you have any orders, feel free to ask, and the young one promises to handle it properly." That's right."

Xiao Peng smiled slightly, and said, "I'll call you if there's anything to do, so go and make arrangements first!"

"Hey, young master, please wait a moment, the food and drink will be here soon." Xiao Er went out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Hearing Xiaoer's blazing footsteps, Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile. Sure enough, money can make ghosts go round. It seems that spending reward points to exchange for gold and silver is really a clever move!

The food and wine were served quickly, not to mention that the diet of the Qing Dynasty had made great progress. Although the seasoning was not as good as modern times, it was better in terms of cooking skills. Yiyi pays more attention to the characteristics of the ingredients themselves.It's just that the wine is really not very good. Xiao Peng has already practiced his drinking capacity in the world of young and Dangerous, and with his strong physique, he claimed that liquor was a catty and a half catty, and he poured beer casually.

After drinking a pot of wine, Xiao Peng didn't even blush.After eating and drinking, Xiao Peng habitually went to his pockets, only to realize that his clothes had no pockets at all, and the two-piece cigarette and lighter set that would never be missing in his pockets naturally did not exist.

"Damn it, I made a mistake, I have to prepare more cigarettes and put them in the ring after I go back this time." Smash it, let it go, there is no after-dinner smoke, Xiao Peng always feels that something is missing, but there is no way, this age wants to When I get cigarettes, I can only find Hanyan, but the taste of Hanyan... Forget it, bear with it!

Asking Xiaoer to find a furoshiki for himself, Xiao Peng took out a large amount of gold and silver from the Sumeru Ring, wrapped it in the cloth, and left the inn under Xiaoer's attentive eyes, towards a family not far from the inn. Going to the bank, entering the bank, and exchanging gold and silver for silver bills, Xiao Peng got a total of more than 5000 taels of silver bills, and stuffed them into his clothes. go.

In an old courtyard, Xiao Peng met the real estate agent of this era, an old broker with gray hair. The master is going.

Xiao Peng stood in front of the gate of a mansion, with two majestic stone lions lying on both sides, a thick copper ring hanging on the two vermilion gates, and a plaque hanging directly above the gate, which read "Lin Fu "Two words.The old broker stepped forward and knocked on the copper ring, and soon the porter opened the door, "Hey, old Wang, why are you here?"

The old broker chuckled, and said: "So that the little brother can learn that the house that Mr. Lin built in the west of the city was taken by this young master, and the little old man specially brought this young master here to discuss the price with Mr. Lin. By the way Go check out the room."

"So that's it, you two come in first! I'll go and tell the master." The concierge didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, and hurriedly opened the door of the mansion to invite the two of them in. This is his master's business. His business has been disrupted, and he probably won't be able to continue working in the Lin Mansion.

Soon, Xiao Peng and the old broker were welcomed in by the porter.Mr. Lin is a middle-aged fat man with a wide body and a fat body. He always has a friendly smile on his face. It is no wonder that Mr. Lin can make such a big business. If you feel very cordial, it will be much easier to talk about business later.

"Master Lin, this is Mr. Xiao. He took a fancy to the house in the west of your city, and he came here to discuss the price with him. Mr. Xiao, this is Mr. Lin, the owner of the house. Mr. Lin is famous for his honesty in this generation. If you buy his house, you must be right."

Hearing the old broker's words, Master Lin's smiling face was even more joyful, and he was about to bump into Maitreya Buddha, "Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be not only handsome and suave, but also very handsome at a young age. The family is rich, and the future must be boundless!"

"Swish"

Xiao Peng put away the folding fan, bowed his fists with both hands, and smiled at Mr. Lin: "Mr. Lin has won the prize. In front of Mr. Lin, he is just a fledgling kid. How can he be worthy of the word rich?"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Xiao is too modest. The greatest advantage of Mr. Xiao is his youth. When Mr. Xiao reaches my age, maybe my Lin family will have to ask Mr. Xiao to take care of him for a while! Alright! Let's stop being polite here, how about, Shall we go and see the house first?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

Immediately, Master Lin ordered his servants to prepare the sedan chair, and they got on the sedan chair and headed west of the city.
