Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 22, Starting with the Small Courtyard

The days passed day by day, and the time soon came to mid-August, and the weather was very hot.The news of the national army's defeat in the Northeast quickly spread to Forty-Nine City, causing a huge commotion in Forty-Nine City.

However, it is only the upper class who are worried about this. For the ordinary Dousheng people below, it is better to go somewhere to buy some cheaper Erba sauce.

This Erba sauce is the favorite of the old BJ people. The so-called Erba sauce uses 2% sesame seeds and 8% peanuts, that is, the ratio of sesame paste to peanut butter is [-] to [-], commonly known as Erba sauce.No matter what people in Sijiu City eat, they can't do without this erba sauce.

Especially in this hot summer, serving a bowl of cold watered noodles with some erba sauce is a favorite of the people of Sijiucheng in summer.

Often you will see someone squatting at the gate, eating a mouthful of cucumber and a mouthful of noodles. It was really a pleasant day.

After lunch, Grandma Lu took Jiang Yan out of the courtyard.

A long time ago, Jiang Yan told Grandma Lu that she wanted to buy the small courtyard at the back. After so much hard work, Grandma Lu finally agreed to take her to see the owner of the small courtyard.

Jiang Yan followed Grandma Lu all the way to a courtyard by the sea. After reaching the gate of the courtyard, Grandma Lu knocked on the gate.

After a while, the door opened, and a 60-year-old man with gray hair opened the door.

"Mrs. Long, why do you have time to come to my yard today, you are so lucky."

After the old man finished speaking, he gave Grandma Lu a spanking.

"Okay, old grandson, how long has it been, there is no need to do the old rituals anymore."

Grandma Lu waved her hand, and handed it to Jiang Yan to know the eyes. When the inspection saw Grandma Lu's eyes, she understood instantly, and went to help the old man surnamed Sun up.

"This is your young master. The old man Sun who stood up looked at Grandma Lu and asked."

"It's my grandson. He just came to Sijiu City for a few days, why is he talking here! We are not invited to sit down."

"Oh! I'm sorry, Mrs. Long please come inside, please come inside, old lady, look who is coming, and make tea quickly." The old man surnamed Sun yelled into the courtyard, and then quickly turned aside to open the door , Let Grandma Lu enter.

Jiang Yan walked into the courtyard together with Grandma Lu.

Walking into the courtyard, Jiang Yan had time to look inside. This courtyard is a simple courtyard with a small area. According to visual inspection, it is less than [-] square meters.It is about a third smaller than the courtyard house I saw before.

There is a water well in the center of the small yard, and a grape trellis is tied beside the well. At this time, the grape trellis is covered with grape vines, and the greenery looks very interesting.

There is a rocking chair under the grape shelf, and it is estimated that the old man was sitting on this rocking chair before.

There are not many rooms in this small courtyard, and there are only about five rooms in the side rooms, but they are often maintained and look antique.

Looking at the courtyard, Jiang Yan felt that this was the proper layout of the old Siheyuan.

Grandma Lu didn't go to the main hall, so a group of people could only sit on the stone benches under the grape trellis. After drinking tea, Old Man Sun spoke.

"I don't know what orders my wife came over today."

"If you don't have me, you don't have to give me any orders. This is the other courtyard that my eldest grandson values ​​you. Take me to ask you to see if you have any intention to sell it."

After Grandma Lu finished speaking, the scene was silent for a while, and at this time Old Man Sun spoke.

"Ma'am, you also know my house. After the little devil took over my house, I never went back. Now the house is dilapidated like that. Even if you buy it back, it needs to be repaired. This fee is not low!"

"We are all on our own, and I will not cheat anyone if I cheat you. If someone asks, I will definitely sell it. Madam, you asked, and I advise you to think about it."

"Eldest grandson, what do you think?" After hearing what the old man surnamed Sun said, Grandma Lu turned her head and asked Jiang Yan without making a decision.

"It's okay, it's okay, grandma, I'm not in a hurry to move in, let's find someone to decorate it slowly, anyway, I'm looking for a house somewhere."

"Old grandson, you have heard what my elder grandson means. Let's see how much money is needed. Don't suffer a loss, and don't let my grandson suffer a disadvantage. You can discuss how much the price is suitable.""

Uncle Sun glanced at Grandma Lu and said, "My wife should know about this. The old lady who bought the house I bought in 1919 was kind. She exempted part of it and paid a total of 3500 yuan. Now I don't want more. You must be sincere, young master." Just give me Dayang 4500 yuan to buy it.”

Hearing this price, I was very surprised!In the past few days, he asked Tuo Tianzao and they asked about several houses. To be honest, the price that Uncle Sun gave was much lower than that on the market.

It is not difficult to sell a house like this for 5500 yuan. If it is repaired well, it can break through 6000 yuan.

At this price, Jiang Yan really took advantage of it.

Before Jiang Yan opened his mouth to agree, Nanny Lu, who was sitting drinking water, spoke.

"Old Sun, this price is too low. How can you explain to our family if you sell it at this price? You still have two sons, think about them."

"In this way, I am the master of this house, and my good grandson will give you 5000 cash."

After saying this, Grandma Lu wanted to say something more when she saw Uncle Sun open his mouth.Then he continued.

"Okay, that's it, listen to me."

Then he turned his head and said to Jiang Yan: "Grand grandson, is this price acceptable?"

Hearing Grandma Lu's words, Jiang Yan nodded quickly, "Yes, grandma, yes, I'll take advantage of paying so much! Thank you, Uncle Sun."

After saying this, Jiang Yan took out ten large yellow croakers from his bag and put them on the table.

A piece of small yellow croaker in the Republic of China weighs about 30 grams, and each piece can be exchanged for 50 yuan in cash.

And the large yellow croaker can be exchanged for ten small yellow croakers, which is 500 for Xianyang, and the price of ten large yellow croakers is exactly [-] Xianyang.

Jiang Yan put the big yellow croaker on the stone table, and made a gesture of invitation to old man Sun.

Old man Sun was not polite either, he picked up a big goldfish and took a bite.

The corners of Jiang Yan's eyes twitched. In this period of love, it is all about biting to distinguish the authenticity of gold!This is also unhygienic. If there is any infectious disease, the fun will be great.

Then he took a bite of the remaining large yellow croakers one by one, and then he accepted the large yellow croakers with satisfaction.

"Madam, wait a moment, young master." After saying this, he quickly took the ten large yellow croakers in his hand, turned around and returned to the house. The speed surprised Jiang Yan, ten large yellow croakers There are a full three hundred grams, which is about six taels, so ten large yellow croakers weigh more than six catties, and there is no one who can walk like flying like this.

"Madam, young master, this is the title deed of the house, please take a look."

Jiang Yan was quite curious about the land deeds of this era. Just looking at the yellowed paper, he knew that this thing was old. The words on the land deeds were all written with a brush and looked quite neat.

After Jiang Yan had read it, he handed the land deed to Grandma Lu, who glanced at it, and nodded to Jiang Yan cryptically.

"Ma'am, young master, with this title deed, you can go to the Yamen Gate to exchange for a new one."

Jiang Yan nodded, put away the title deed and put him in his arms. It looked like he was in his arms, but they were actually placed in the space.

There is no room for safety anywhere.
