I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 6 Qiao Daya must be lost

But such a house is certainly not cheap, and Qiao Yun is very worried about the rent.

Mrs. Wang saw the embarrassment in her eyes and said, "I originally planned to sell this house for 50 guan. It's close to the dock and 50 guan is really not expensive. If you can't get it together at the moment, you can rent it."

.I will charge you less rent, four hundred guan a month. If you save up 50 guan by some time, you can buy it again."

Qiao Yun suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and tried to think about it calmly before nodding: "This is it. I still have to find a craftsman to build some tables and stools, and I have to clean up the rest."

When Mrs. Wang saw Qiao Yun so cheerful, she couldn't help but feel more favorable to this young lady.

This little lady's temper is to her liking!

"Then come back with me and we'll write a lease document."

She immediately took Qiao Yun back to her shop and wrote two identical rental documents in ink. She also took the ink pad and the house deed and handed them to Qiao Yun.

When Qiao Yun saw it, she couldn't help but admire it.

Is it necessary to sign a contract when renting a house in ancient times?

Or maybe it's just that the world she came to is different?

Qiao Yun did not dwell on these unnecessary matters, and neatly put her fingerprints on the two house deeds, accepted one of the house deeds and documents, and took the house key.

When she handed over the house deed and keys to Qiao Yun, Wang felt a little sad in her heart.

That was the courtyard where she grew up. After she got married, her brother-in-law got a job at the county government office, so he moved his family to Taiyuan, leaving her alone in Quwo.

At any rate, mom and dad left this small courtyard to her.

Now it will be occupied by outsiders.

It’s not easy for this little lady. As the saying goes, meeting is fate. Please take more care of her in the future!

"If you have any inconvenience in the future, feel free to come see me."

"Mother Wang, do you know which carpenters and masons are better in the county? This is my first time dealing with these things, so I have no clue."

"Of course. If you are not familiar with this place, would you like my aunt to help you get in touch?"

"No, thank you, aunt. You have done so much for me, why should I bother you again? Madam, please go back and check the store. I can be busy by myself."

Qiao Yun tried her best to act well-behaved and sensible, which made Wang like her even more.

After leaving the grocery store, Qiao Yun held the fresh and warm house deed in her arms, so she was not in a hurry to find the carpenter.

The top priority is to pack up a place to live.

This small courtyard is really old, old and empty, lacking everything.

There was nothing in the main room except accumulated dust, and it was empty.

This house has been idle for at least 30 years, and Mr. Wang often cleans it in his spare time, so the dust is not very thick.

Wang had been thinking about what to change this place into. Some of the old furniture was rotten, so Wang dismantled them and sold the intact wood to carpenters, and threw away the rotten wood.

But after it was demolished, Wang has never thought about what to do with the place. She was reluctant to sell it, so she has been putting it off until now.

It wasn't until she met Qiao Yun that Wang decided to rent out the house that had been idle for half her life.

For Qiao Yun, having no furniture is actually a good thing.

This is the first small nest she has settled in, so she has to make it comfortable no matter what.

There was a well in the yard, and Qiao Yun fetched a bucket of water. The water in the well was extremely clear, and it seemed that it was connected to all the wells in the county.

Just use this water to clean the house.

Qiao Yun fastened her collar, rolled up her skirt, tied a knot around her knees, and started working.

Thanks to the lack of furniture, Qiao Yun's workload is not heavy. She only needs to mop the floor and wipe the window lattice. The kitchen stove is also easy to clean. It is made of adobe, so there is no need to mop it, just use a broom.

Just sweep the dust off.

After cleaning the house, Qiao Yun entered the game, used the craftsman's skills to rub some furniture and put it in her backpack.

Just imagine in your mind where you want the furniture to be placed and then take it out and they will automatically be placed.

Quite convenient!

The bed was a large bed with a shelf in the corner of the room. She liked the feeling of rolling around on the big bed by herself.

It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, so you can't be careless with bedding.

The thick cotton mattress was stacked in two layers, and then covered with a layer of sheets, so that the feel was similar to the mattresses of later generations, soft and bouncy, with moderate hardness; a thick large eiderdown quilt was placed at the end of the bed, which was warm and light

.

Cotton is a rare thing these days, and not all families can afford cotton mattresses, but Qiao Yun doesn't care about this. Cotton mattresses are warm, so she uses cotton mattresses.

Anyway, no one would walk into her house and lie down on her bed, right?

There was a window on the wall against which the bed was leaning. If it rained or snowed, she could lie on the couch wrapped in a quilt and fall asleep smelling the rain. It would be so beautiful to think about it!

A Su Fang dyeing desk is placed next to the bed. There is a hidden compartment on this desk, which is similar to a modern dressing table that can be used as a storage unit. When the hidden compartment is opened, a smooth bronze mirror is embedded on the inside of the lid.

You can put some facial cream and powder, which is very convenient when applying makeup.

There is also a carved paulownia wood table and two matching carved paulownia wood stools. It can be used for daily meals and tea, and can also be used to entertain guests.

Although she didn't expect anyone to visit her yet.

Maybe Aunt Wang is one of them?

Anyway, she would have to wipe one more chair in the future, so she didn't mind.

A mulberry bookcase and a cypress rope chair with armrests are placed under the window in the other corner of the house. The light here is very good, so it is not harmful to the eyes to read and write on weekdays, and there is no need to light additional lights.

There is also a gold-plated pear wood cabinet with curly grass pattern for storing clothes, a cypress wood bookshelf, as well as pots and pans, cups and dishes, chopsticks, charcoal stove, soup pots and other furniture items. After some tidying up, the house is finally suitable for people to live in.

After decorating the room, Qiao Yun went to the inn and checked out the room.

He immediately went to the carpenter Wang mentioned and ordered six sets of tables and stools. The stools were long benches, and two adults could sit on each stool. Such a large shop was only big enough to place these few tables, but it was okay.

enough.

She still had more than half of her money, so she was so busy that she hurried to the grocery store owned by Wang's relatives and bought ten empty porcelain boxes, bamboo baskets, steamers, kettles and other items.

Not everything can be taken from the game.

The county town is not that big, and the neighbors like to sit under the big tree at the street corner and chat about home affairs when they have nothing to do. It is winter now, no one goes out to suffer from the cold, but as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. In the future, she will have to spend time with her neighbors.

Mixed.

Later, when the neighbors gossiped about her, if someone remembered that they had never seen her go out to buy anything, that would be a big problem!

I was so busy that two or three hours passed by in a blink of an eye. According to modern time, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

Qiao Yun couldn't help but feel a little lucky. She knew nothing about ancient time. Fortunately, the time in the game was the same as the outside world, and the system settings panel could be brought up in the game to see the 24-hour clock.

The game also thoughtfully marks what time it is in terms of hours after the time.

In winter, at six o'clock in the afternoon, it has already become dark.

Qiao Yun was so busy that she forgot about Wu Laoliu.

After Wu Laoliu had shoed his beloved donkey, he waited at the gate of the county town for Qiao Yun to come. He was so anxious that his mouth became dry. He also went into the county to ask about the tailor shop and salt shop.

Qiao Yun was nowhere to be found.

It's over, it's over, this girl must be lost!

He regretted it and stamped his feet repeatedly.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have left this girl alone in a crowd!

Wang's shop is located in a wealthy area, and most of the customers here are maids from nearby families. According to Wu Laoliu's common sense, when Qiao Yun goes to the city to buy silk threads, she can only go to a few shops on the street. Farmers often go to the market.

Yes, I didn't go to Fuhu District at all.

Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, the smell of food wafts out of the windows of various shops. It will be difficult to walk at night.

Wu Laoliu was hungry and anxious. He didn't bring a light, so it was difficult to walk at night. In desperation, he had to drive back to Baihe Village in a hurry.

Alas, it is better to report this to Mrs. Lu in advance.

To be honest, Wu Laoliu was not familiar with Lu.

Lu is stingy by nature. If she buys a handful of vegetables from someone else, she will shamelessly ask the store owner to add a handful of green onions.

Wu Laoliu's family owned the only stone mill in Baihe Village. On weekdays, he would do it for convenience with his neighbors. Folks from the village would go to his house to grind millet, but he never received any money.

But country people also want to have face. Wu Laoliu refused to accept money. On weekdays, they would ask their wives to help Wu Laoliu and his wife with bad eyesight mending and washing; when harvesting crops, they would pick up the fallen wheat straw and sorghum stalks.

Give some to Wu Laoliu to feed the animals; or if someone's family occasionally serves meat, give him a piece of meat, or bring him a large bowl of prepared broth, it is not a waste of time to use his stone grinder.

In this way, the exchange of favors between you and me was originally a matter of course.

Lu was so shameless that she never had any contact with him other than borrowing a stone mill from him.

Therefore, Wu Laoliu disliked Lu's behavior very much and did not want to have more contact with her.

But now there is no other way. No matter how much you hate that person, you have to go find her.

Although Mrs. Lu is a step-grandmother, Qiao and his wife treat her as their own mother and are filial to her. The eldest daughter of the Qiao family has been calling her grandma for ten years. Even if they don't like to see her anymore, she is still a child now.

She would not be embarrassed to ignore such a big thing, if the child's parents had just died and the day had not passed, would she?
