Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 45 0045 House; Python Skin

Half an hour later, Cheng Zongyang came out of the yamen with a new land deed and keys and headed straight to the south of the city.

Nantang Lane is located in the southeastern part of the city.

When Cheng Zongyang arrived at the door of a residential house in an alley, he looked at the houses of different sizes around him with a silent expression.

The title deed and keys in my hand, as well as the house in front of me that is neither old nor large in size, make me feel quite emotional.

He had been trying to build relationships with Zheng Yan for the past six months, even selling some mountain products to restaurants at prices far below the market price, all in order to be able to use Zheng Yan's connections to do something one day.

He could make money, but connections were hard to find. In his previous life, he knew the importance of connections.

In the original plan, the money was not used to buy a house, but to find Zheng Yan when his family or he encountered danger or trouble one day and could not solve it.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. The village is unsafe, Tianxianglou is about to close, and Zheng Yan is leaving, so they can only change their plans to buy a house.

But Zheng Yan actually took such a liking to him and recruited him, and even gave him a jade pendant.

He knew very well what this jade pendant meant, so he had already put it in the wilderness to avoid losing it.

He collected his messy thoughts and looked at his neighbors. Many people were looking at him.

It seemed as if he was curious about who bought this house that had been vacant for a long time.

Cheng Zongyang was a little confused. It was just buying a house, so why was he so curious?
After opening the door and walking in, Cheng Zongyang was surprised to see a screen with the Chinese character "Fu" carved on it. He had never thought that this seemingly ordinary house would have such a thing.

After closing the door and walking around the screen wall, there is an empty courtyard, which is already covered with dust. There is a well in the corner of the courtyard, which is about 60 to 70 square meters, and the well mouth is covered by a wooden board.

Cheng Zongyang walked over, opened it and took a look, his brows immediately frowned.

The water level is quite deep, which means there is little groundwater!
It was rebuilt, with wing rooms and kitchens on both sides of the courtyard and a large hall in the middle.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the layout and was a little confused. There was no room like a master bedroom?

The next moment, he saw a corridor on both sides of the yard leading to the back.

This time, Cheng Zongyang was surprised. Could it be that the main room outside was the living room?
He didn't bother to look at the situation in the living room, and went to the corridor, where he saw the real backyard house.

The house has everything, including wing rooms, courtyards, main rooms, inner rooms, dining rooms, wells, etc. Even the furniture is complete, and you can move in after cleaning it.

"This can be considered a two-entry courtyard... According to the situation, the front one should be where the servants live. The backyard is where the master lives."

He didn't know much about some of the rules, but he knew the decoration layout of the house and the time situation. Adding the guarantee tax, he estimated that he could not buy it for four hundred taels.

He had some knowledge of the housing prices in the county town. This kind of two-story house, which was quite new, would cost at least six or seven hundred taels, including the guarantee tax.

"Profit!" Cheng Zongyang murmured.

With this house, there are no more worries at home.

Once he can no longer stay in the village, he will take his family to the county town!

If possible, he would rather live in the village rather than in the county town where there is a mix of good and bad people and many rules.

After a careful look, Cheng Zongyang was very satisfied with the house Zheng Yan found for him.

Even if there are many children, there is plenty of space for them to play and have fun.

At home in the village, he didn't dare let his younger sister and second brother go out, so they could only play in the small yard where the space was extremely limited.

Otherwise, if your body shape is different from others, you will definitely be hated by others.

In the main room in the backyard, Cheng Zongyang wiped a dusty stool and began to think carefully.

Now he only had a little over five taels of silver left, so there was no way he could buy anything.

But he still needs money!

Although he didn't need to buy food for the time being, it was needed for practicing martial arts, even though his second uncle ran a clinic!
Secondly, if I really move to the county town in the future, I will have to buy a few maids to do the work so that my parents won’t have to worry too much.

In this year, there are many families in the villages and counties who sell their children to save their lives, and the price is very cheap. Don't worry about this.

"I have to continue selling things. However, now that Zheng Yan has left, I have to change the store that sells the mountain products." Cheng Zongyang murmured. He was not worried that no one would want the mountain products, but that there would not be enough to sell.

Whether it is the county’s restaurants, butchers, or big families, there are many people wanting it.

Previously, the goods sold to Tianxianglou were sold at very low prices in order to build relationships. But this will no longer be necessary in the future.

If he is given a few days, he will become a warrior, at least ordinary people will not dare to provoke him.

Everything is based on one's own strength!
It doesn’t matter if you have the ability, but it matters if you don’t have the ability!
"I'll process the python skins first to make some money before going home." With a general idea in mind, Cheng Zongyang stood up and prepared to finish the last thing. He also hurried back to avoid worrying his parents.

He left the house, locked the door, and without paying attention to the eyes of his neighbors, he left Nantang Lane.

It's just that the backpack was placed in the wilderness.

"Having a house will make it easier to move things in the future."

Cheng Zongyang looked relaxed. He looked around and headed towards the east of the city.

About a quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the door of a shop with the word "Soldier" hanging on the door.

This is an arms shop that specializes in making and selling weapons.

"Is Master Chen here?"

Cheng Zongyang asked a teenage apprentice at the door.

The apprentice glanced at Cheng Zongyang and nodded, "Master is in the inner room. Do you want to forge weapons or buy weapons?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled slightly: "Both."

"Then wait." The apprentice nodded slightly, put down the work at hand, and walked into the inner room.

This was not the first time he had dealt with the weapons shop.

I have bought small weapons such as daggers and knives two or three times in the past few years. The prices are affordable. The main reason is that the quality of the store is good and I am familiar with the owner.

He took out a palm-sized piece of python skin from his arms.

He doesn't know how to process this python skin and doesn't know how to use it, so he might as well sell it and see if he can make an inner armor or something.

After a moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties with rough and red skin walked out from the inner room.

"It's you, kid." Chen Kaishan said unhappily, "Don't you have a ready-made knife for buying?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "No, I came here this time to ask Master Chen to take a look at something and see how much it is worth. I also want to ask if it can be used to make armor."

As he said this, he handed a piece of python skin in his hand to Chen Kaishan.

When Chen Kaishan heard it, he thought it was something else, but then he saw what Cheng Zongyang handed over and said unhappily:
"What do you mean?"

Cheng Zongyang explained: "It was too big for me to hold. So I cut a piece and brought it over. It took a lot of effort to cut it."

This time Chen Kaishan took it with some suspicion.

It was cold and greasy to the touch, obviously it had not been processed after being peeled.

"Huh? Python skin?" Chen Kaishan recognized it at first sight. After all, snake and python skins are easy to recognize.

"Master Chen is amazing. He recognized it was python skin, not snake skin, right away." Cheng Zongyang praised him generously: "Unlike other masters in the craftsmanship shop, who insisted that it was snake skin and tried to trick me."

Chen Kaishan glared at Cheng Zongyang unhappily: "You are young, but you are still very energetic."

After saying that, he ignored Cheng Zongyang and walked to the workbench beside him, picked up a small knife and cut it.

"what?"

Chen Kaishan's eyes narrowed and he looked at the dagger in his hand, then threw it aside in annoyance.

It's not sharpened.
