Jia Dongxu's Counterattack of Siheyuan

Chapter 59 Buying a New Yard
A week later, Xu Lao Liu came to find him.Xu Laoliu said: "In Luohua Hutong on the other side of Shichahai, there is a compound courtyard with two entrances. The current owner is a cultural person, and the house has been taken care of very well. In the past few years, there were disasters, and the literati had no income. The family The five people ate and emptied the whole family, so I wanted to sell my yard and live in a small one-story house, and use the extra part as a household.”

"Come on, then I'll go and have a look at the courtyard now." The two came to the courtyard at the entrance of Luohua Hutong in Shichahai. Jia Dongxu looked around the courtyard. Looking at Shichahai, the gate of the courtyard is a bit small, and there are flowers and plants at the gate, and there are a few pots of bonsai. At first glance, the owner of the house is a leisurely and elegant person.

Xu Laoliu knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door knew Xu Laoliu, who had visited the house before.Xu Laoliu greeted the homeowner and said, "This is the owner who wants to buy your yard. Let him take a look if it's convenient for you." The homeowner looked at Jia Dongxu, nodded and said, "OK!" go in.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a screen wall, carved with bats and lotus flowers, implying prosperity.There is a wall on the right, and walking to the left, you can see a long corridor at a glance. There are various patterns on the top of the corridor. Jia Dongxu can't look at it carefully, but it seems to be better protected. Jia Dongxu opened his eyes. The pavilions, rockery, streams, trees, flowers and plants can be described as different scenery, combining point and surface, movement and stillness.

You don't need to look at the back, Jia Dongxu wants to buy it.Through a hanging flower gate, you come to the main courtyard, which is different from the front yard. There is a big ginkgo tree in the main courtyard. The owner built a study room based on the branches and trunks. In the study room, there is a tea table and a long table with pens, ink, paper and inkstone , and some books.

The homeowner led Jia Dongxu inside, wanting him to take a look inside, Jia Dongxu said: "No need to look, sir, if you don't mind, just make a pot of tea in your study and talk while drinking." The homeowner was also taken aback, so many It was the first time that people came to see the house, and they only saw the yard, not the inside.

The homeowner smiled and said, "Since you are interested, let's drink a pot of tea."

Jia Dongxu looked at the owner's particular order of making tea. Chen Shi had seen it many times, and it was the first time he saw it in Sijiu City. "Just now, I don't know if I want to buy it? So I didn't ask the owner's name?"

"Miangui's surname is Su".

"Mr. Su's tea-making skills are rare in Forty-Nine Cities. They are all southern customs."

"Little friend is really knowledgeable. When he was young, he lived in the south, so he learned how to make tea."

"I think your courtyard also has the charm of Jiangnan."

"It seems that Xiaoyou is also a wonderful person." At this time, the tea has been brewed, and Mr. Su gave each of them a cup, "Please!" Jia Dongxu picked up the teacup and smelled it, "It smells good!" Then he took a sip. Drink the whole cup, "good tea! It's smooth in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste." "Little friend is also a person in the tea ceremony."

"Don't dare, I understand a little bit." Jia Dongxu thought to himself that Mr. Su is so particular, he must have spent a lot of money on yard maintenance, no wonder he has no money to live on, and all the money has been spent on it.Then I made a comment exchange on the tea ceremony and some embellishments of the yard.

Jia Dongxu looked around and asked: "I don't know how much Mr. Su is willing to sell this yard?"

"To tell you the truth, no, my mother and children can't support me. I will never sell this yard. I spent a lot of effort in it."

"I can understand that there are many good courtyard houses in Sijiu City, but there are not many people like Mr. who are willing to take care of the courtyard with all their heart."

"Xiaoyou has won the prize. There are many people who come to see this yard. People like Xiaoyou are the first ones. They have never made a move before. One is that the price is relatively expensive. The other is that I want to hand over the yard to someone who will protect and The person who takes care of this yard, I think Xiaoyou should be a good owner."

"Mr. Xie Su praised it!" "Little friend, I want to buy this yard and sold it to you for a total of 6000 yuan."Compared with the house itself, it is not worth the price. The main reason is that the yard is well maintained. It is not a matter of planting two trees and arranging a few flowers. Mr. Su has integrated the essence of southern gardens and northern culture to complement each other.

Although Jia Dongxu didn't look inside, he was willing to spend so much effort to take care of the yard, and the house was not much worse, so he didn't look, and gave Mr. Su an impression that Jia Dongxu trusted him.This kind of yard is not bad for buyers, and it has never been sold. It must be that Mr. Su didn't like the person who bought the yard. Jia Dongxu is glad that he did it right just now.

"Okay! It's just that I can't afford so much money right now. Mr. Su, do you think this is okay? Let's make an agreement. I will give you three thousand tomorrow, and I will give you the remaining three thousand within three months. We are working on it." Transfer, if the remaining money is not given to you for three months, the agreement is void, and you don’t have to refund the money.”

Jia Dongxu calculated that it would not be a big problem to pay off the remaining money after the two unplanned materials, the rolling mill and the food factory, were converted into cash.Mr. Su said, "Yes, but judging by your attitude, you are not an ordinary person."

"Then we've agreed, I'll send you the money tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he got up and left.

After going out, I looked around the yard again, and I was very satisfied, so I was short of money.Xu Laoliu said, "Director Jia, why don't you bargain?"

Jia Dongxu looked at the price of this yard with modern concepts. In terms of the wages of workers in a rolling mill, a worker can afford 50 yuan a month and 600 yuan a year. He can afford this house for ten years without food and drink.A yard in modern times counts as 10 million yuan, and if the wages of modern people are high, it is 10 yuan per month. Can you afford a yard for 10 years without eating or drinking?Not to mention that there are a few people who have a salary of [-] a month.That is to say, people in this era are simple and will not give you a blind price.

After parting with Xu Laoliu, and returning to the Commercial Bureau, Jia Dongxu exclaimed, "It's true that when the money is used up, we hate less!"

A few days ago, I made more than 3000 for myself to be complacent, but now I don’t even have enough money to buy a house.
