Chapter 186 Viewing a House
Early the next morning, Pomegranate went into the city with Li Jizhong and his son who were delivering the goods.

As the eldest son, Li Jizhong was assigned nearly 40 acres of land when the family was divided. Normally, he would have to work for many days to get it. Now his wife and two daughters-in-law are working in the workshop, and he has also taken over the delivery job. , even if the goods are delivered every two days, the work in the fields is still too busy.

Fortunately, Li Yishan thought clearly and decisively followed the patriarch's example and asked the villagers for help, which would not delay the busy work of farming.

This matter of planting crops for three meals, the villagers are still fighting for it.

The patriarch's family has been doing this for a long time. After all, their family has few people and few people, and they still have to weave cloth, so they can't take care of it.

It is better to hire villagers to take care of the food than to hire day laborers outside. Some people who only work as part-time workers to grow crops do not have to take care of the food, but at thirty cents a day, the work is not meticulous, especially when harvesting grain. I don't know how much food was wasted when I came down.

So it's better to ask the villagers who know the basics. It only takes three meals and it's not a big deal. It's always worth it.

With Li Yishan at home taking care of things in the fields, Li Jizhong felt at ease outside delivering goods.

We walked all the way into the city and arrived at the shop on Lingshui Street. The bullock cart went in directly through the back door. Shiliu got out of the car and went to the front. By coincidence, he met the gold-toothed man who came into the shop.

The man with golden teeth was also happy to see her, "Oh, pomegranate girl, you have entered the city!"

He came to see it yesterday, but unfortunately no one was waiting for him. Today he came at this time and asked him to wait!

"You have some clues about what you asked me to do last time! Are you free now? Come with me and have a look! Otherwise, it will be too late and others will get there first!"

Pomegranate came to the city just for this matter. She never expected to get good news as soon as she came. She was very happy at the moment, "If you have time, go ahead!"

Jinya Man's main job is to earn some middle money by trading houses and shops with others. After many years in Luoshui City, there is no place he is not familiar with.

Immediately, Pomegranate got on the Golden Teeth Man's mule cart and followed him.

Li Jizu wasn't worried when he looked at it. This Jinya man was an old acquaintance of Ding Fuguang, and they were very close friends. For that matter, he wasn't afraid that he would take the pomegranate with him. Besides, there was no one in this area who didn't Know the gold-toothed man.

The three houses that Jinya Man found are all in the south of the city. Although they are not on the same alley, they are all within a three-mile radius of Nancheng. Even if they are not on an alley, they are not too far away.

Among the three houses, the largest one is located near the South City Gate and covers an area of ​​nearly two acres.

Because the land is large, the houses are built squarely.

In the courtyard of the third entrance, the entrance hall and the back hall are five seven-beam houses each. Then the two main houses at the front and back are also five seven-beam houses. There are three wing rooms and a side room on the left and right of the main house. , the back door is connected to the wall, and there are seven more rooms, two more than the main door. Therefore, this courtyard has forty-three houses and two large courtyards at the front and back.

Pomegranate fell in love with this house as soon as she saw it. Not only were there many rooms, but there was also space to grow vegetables and flowers. The price of this house was ninety taels.

The second house was smaller, with only one and a half acres of land, but it had a good location. The back door of the house was across a river from the county school.

There are two stone arch bridges on the river that can carry carriages and horses, making transportation very convenient.

The gate of the house is opened at the entrance of Gongyang Lane, just a few neighbors away from the white house.

However, there are only three five-beam houses in the main entrance hall of this house. Entering through the main entrance is the main courtyard.

Although the reverse south room of the main courtyard is a large room with seven beams, it only has three rooms. The main room has five large rooms, but no side rooms, so there are only these eight rooms in the entire front yard. The second courtyard is quite neat, with five main rooms and five left and right wing rooms, not counting each other. There is also a well, but there are no side rooms.

The wall behind the main courtyard is connected to the back door, and five rooms are also built on the wall.

Therefore, there are a total of thirty-one houses in this house, priced at one hundred and five taels.

Not to mention there are about ten rooms less in the house, there are not two as big yards, and it is not square enough, but it is still ten liang more expensive.

An ordinary person would definitely shake his head and look down on the house at the back, but Shiliu was moved. Although the house was small and expensive, the county school was just across the stone bridge from the back door. In modern times, this was a school district room. Got it! No matter how expensive the school district housing is, it is not expensive.

Brother Zhang is currently studying. No matter what the future holds, people must have dreams. What if they can study in a county school in the future? Even if you can't, there are two academies not far from the county school, which is also convenient.

Let’s take a step back. Even if it is not used for studying, it is not a loss to buy this house. It is in this location, surrounded by scholars’ homes, and the main purpose is to be quiet. It will not be difficult to sell it in the future. There is no doubt that the price will rise. There is room for price.

People with golden teeth also know how to look at their faces. When he saw that Pomegranate was satisfied with this house, he didn't mention the third house. That house was also made up, mainly these two houses, and Pomegranate couldn't even compare. , don’t even look at that place.

"Girl Pomegranate, what do you think of this house? There are many people interested in this house, so I'll prepare it for you first."

If he didn't intend to buy the pomegranate, he would look for someone else to buy it, just for Lao Ding's sake.

Pomegranate also knows that opportunities wait for no one. Every carrot is a hole. If she doesn't occupy this hole, she won't stop others from occupying it. She nodded immediately, "This is the house!"

She also went to the city today to hear the news. Naturally, she didn't bring much money with her, so she made an agreement with the gold-toothed man to come to the city tomorrow to meet the landlord with him.

The man with golden teeth nodded and promised to keep the house for her and not show it to anyone else.

Pomegranate thanked him, and then he asked the gold-toothed man if he didn't have a suitable shop.

Does Jin Yaren know that her shop on Lingshui Street has only been open for a month or so? Now she has to buy another shop? I also lament how quickly I made a fortune.

After thinking about the houses in his hands, he knew there were several.

Pomegranate was also happy when she heard that, and immediately said: "You must keep it for me, Mr. Gold Teeth. Tomorrow I will bring the money to the city to buy this house, and then I will go to see the shop with you. I like it." Just buy it!”

The man with golden teeth naturally agreed. No matter it was a house or a shop, he would earn hard-earned money on both sides of the sale anyway. The more he sold, the more he would earn. No one would be dissatisfied with making more money.

At that moment, the pomegranate was sent back to the shop by the gold-toothed man. Without much delay, he had lunch and then let Li Jizhong and his son drive out of the city and go home.

You will be here tomorrow, so you can take your things back then.

After returning home, Shiliu told her family about the house she had chosen. Li Ji and the others were also happy, but when they heard the price, they were shocked. It was a hundred taels of silver! How many houses can be built in this village!
Shiliu couldn't help but mention the fact that the house was close to the county school. Dad Li became excited and said that Shiliu's charter was good.

Li Jihe and Song didn't say anything, they just let Shiliu figure it out.

Mrs. Song then opened the box and asked Pomegranate to count the silver by herself.
