Chang’an Small Restaurant

When Shen Shaoguang was cooking Yuqian rice, the old man next door limped over.

Shen Shaoguang hurriedly asked Achang to help him.

The old man waved his hand, "I can do it myself, I can do it, thank you little lady."

Achang helped the old man to sit down, and Shen Shaoguang brought tea in person.

Since the old man broke his leg in the rain last year, he rented the shop in front to Shen Shaoguang, and he lived in seclusion on weekdays, only the old woman came out to buy rice, grain and vegetables occasionally. The old man who is not good enough to come to his place in person, is it because of the house?

Sure! "Seeing that the little lady's business is booming, do you have any interest in buying my two shops and the house behind?"

Shen Shaoguang didn't say whether it was possible or not, but first asked with a smile: "My old man is going to live in a big house? Hexi old man."

The old man knew that this little lady Shen was asking the reason for the sale of the house euphemistically, so he smiled and said: "It seems that your young lady Langjun can make money and can change to a big house? I have no children and grandchildren. We adopted a house in the house, and we are in the suburbs of Beijing. The farmhouse is big, and we will be picked up to live there. How can anyone be a Yeniang for nothing? I thought of selling this house as a gift for the new children and grandchildren."

Shen Shaoguang hurriedly said "Congratulations".

The old man nodded with some emotion, "It's always a good thing to have children and grandchildren."

I can hear the helplessness in the old man's words, but I think I have already written documents and changed the genealogy, so I should be more optimistic, Shen Shaoguang smiled and advised, "It's good to live in the suburbs of Beijing. I went out of the city last time. , to see the clear river water, the green wheat fields, the mulberry and the mulberry around the house, the **** and dogs barking, and even the air seems to be fresher than in the city, so nice!"

Speaking of the village house, the old man also laughed, "I really like it too, if nothing else, open and bright!"

After that, let's talk about selling the house.

The old man asked for 60,000 yuan, which is fair for this location.

Shen Shaoguang had a solid relationship with the old man, "I have the intention to buy the old man's house, after all, I am familiar with living here. It is just that the old man has also seen, my messy stall and These people, only the old man's shophouse, I'm afraid it won't be enough to live in."

"The house here is leased, I'm afraid they will take it back..." If you bought your house, you can't use it yourself, and you can't rent a few. Money, don't you just throw it in your hands?

"The little lady is thinking of buying both sides together?" The old man asked in surprise. Although I knew that this little lady Shen was shrewd and capable, and the small wine shop was very prosperous, she never imagined that she had saved enough money to buy the houses on both sides in less than a year, especially if this place was no better than her own. It's a lot bigger, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Shen Shaoguang said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the owner of the house here won't sell it, and I'm afraid that he can't buy it. I'll go back and ask, and give the old man an accurate word?"

The old man knew that she might be modest when she said "can't afford it", but the former is still her concern, so she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll wait for the little lady."

If it wasn't for the old man, Shen Shaoguang would always consider buying or renewing the lease when the lease term of the house was approaching, but since the old man wanted to sell the house, Shen Shaoguang would Decided to try my luck.

Take A Yuan to Yanshoufang, find the landlord Song Shilang's house, Shen Shaoguang sat in the gatehouse of the big mansion, and explained his intention to the steward who collected the rent on weekdays.

"

The situation is similar to Shen Shaoguang's estimate. Unless this kind of family is in decline, they can only buy it, and rarely sell these real estate.

Shen Shaoguang smiled and said with a smile: "Please ask the steward to ask the lady, what if the lady wants to sell it?"

To Shen Shaoguang's beautiful smiling face, the steward smiled and said, "Well, I will run this trip for the little lady."

This steward was originally one of the servants brought by Mrs. Song Shilang from her mother's family. She specially took care of some shop properties in Beijing for her, and she was quite embarrassed in front of the master.

It didn't take long, the steward came out, saw Shen Shaoguang and smiled: "Congratulations to the little lady! My lady and Lang Jun agreed to sell the shop to the little lady."

The steward smiled and said, "But it's also the good fate of the little lady. Isn't the expensive wine shop a hot pot of Xianxing? This hot pot was given to my family two years ago, Lang Jun likes it. Very. I just mentioned it, Lang Jun said, 'For the sake of this pot, you should also do this little favor.' The lady listened and agreed. Isn't this a kindness that the little lady has done by herself?"

Shen Shaoguang hurriedly smiled and went back politely. If it wasn't for the manager who mentioned this, how would the master know?

After two more polite words, the two discussed the price. This house is naturally more expensive than the old man's, 100,000 yuan, but it is cheaper than Shen Shaoguang expected. Could it be the credit of those two hot pots?

Shen Shaoguang is not that greedy, naturally he will not bargain any more in this situation, he agreed in one go, thanked the manager again, agreed to do the deed tomorrow, and then left. The steward sent it out.

Just met the owner of the house at the door, and Shen Shaoguang avoided the side and waited for the horses and horses to pass first.

Song Shilang raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Shen Shaoguang, and then rode away.

Shen Shaoguang felt that this Song Shilang was a bit like Lin Shaoyin in bearing, both belonged to the cold-faced gentleman type, but Lin Shaoyin was more restrained. Could it be that this is popular among the rich and powerful now? No, that Li Xianggong was very kind.

Anyway, it's done.

A Yuan was even more excited than Shen Shaoguang, "Little lady, we have our own mansion? Right? Little lady? The little lady said earlier that I don't know when I can buy a mansion. Why don't you just buy it..." Ah Yuan chatted non-stop.

Shen Shaoguang laughed, blaming himself for always nagging her about buying a house and land.

But thinking about it, it is indeed quite a sense of accomplishment. This is the city of Chang'an that the great poets say that "it's not easy to live in a big place". How many talented people, how many years of hard study, have become jinshi and become officials, and they are still in front of "An Piao".

Of course, it also has to do with their ostentation spending in the officialdom. For example, an 89th-rank official like Liu Lushi costs more than 10,000 yuan a month. He estimates that he can spend 10,000 yuan. It is difficult to make money, and it is even more difficult to save money. what…

Even so, Shen Shaoguang is also very satisfied, probably the Chinese are rich players in their bones. Buying land and buying land is a kind of genetic inheritance.

A Yuan was still excited, Shen Shaoguang, like all annoying leaders, began to set a higher "spiritual pursuit", "Where is this going? Yuan, think about it, in the future, we will make more money and buy a mansion like Lin Shaoyin's.

It's against the rules; if it were Achang, he would definitely show an unbelievable expression. The little lady actually wants to buy such a big house?

A Yuan was different. After thinking about it, she nodded, "We will definitely be able to live in a mansion like that. At that time, we will also make a porch full of flowers, we will not carve flowers. , what we eat, all kinds of vegetables, jade tip noodles, steamed cakes, grilled chicken, meat skewers, sweet and sour fish…”

Shen Shaoguang felt a little melancholy when she heard the carvings in the corridor, when she was dismissed by the name of the dishes behind, "Okay, just follow the carvings you said! There are some in the store. Carving. We don't grow flowers or grass in the garden, that's too vulgar. Let's just grow vegetables, carrots, radishes, coriander, green onions... and then carry a golden **** to turn the ground..."

A Yuan laughed.

Shen Shaoguang also laughed, dreaming, so beautiful.

But when it comes to cleaning up the garden, this newly bought yard really needs to be cleaned up.

On the second day, the transfer procedures for the houses on both sides were completed, and after a few days, a middle-aged man drove a mule cart to pick up the old man, Shen Shaoguang gave the flower cake as an example, and then Invite a mason to start remodeling the house yard.

In the house, vegetables, rice and grain are also moved over. The two newly bought houses, one for dry goods and the other for fresh goods, can be considered to make the best use of everything; the eastern side of the yard is opened into a garden...

A Yuan suggested: "Let's circle another place, raise a few chickens, or raise two geese."

Shen Shaoguang is a little bit quiet, but also a little bit clean.

"I raise my own chickens, touch the freshest eggs every day, eat fried chives, fried gourds, fried courgettes, add sugar and steam, add shrimp and steam... Caught two chickens and stewed them, isn't it better than buying them from outside?"

Shen Shaoguang made a decision: "Okay, keep it up!"

After a few days, there was a seller at the door, and Shen Shaoguang asked the chicken seller to bring in a small basket of chicks and pick them together with A Yuan.

I picked more than a dozen little hens, and I was looking at whether they liked it or not. The lady who sold chickens asked: "Little lady, do you want to pick two more little roosters?"

"Yes."

"What do you want a rooster to do? You can't lay eggs." A Yuan was puzzled.

Shen Shaoguang didn't know how to explain to her that the lady who sold the chickens smiled and said, "It's for hatching chicks."

"Even if you can't use so many roosters, it's better to kill and eat meat." Shen Shaoguang added.

Suddenly raising her head, she met Lin Shaoyin, who was a little inexhaustible—since the weather was warm and the door was open, no one came in.

Shen Shaoguang was a little embarrassed. In fact, what she said was nothing, but for some reason, she suddenly felt like she was playing a hooligan when she looked at Lin Shaoyin's clear and bright face. Shen Shaoguang suddenly remembered the story of the banshee catching Tang Seng again.
