Chapter 2168 East and West Market (Chinese)
Han Ningxiang looked up at the people who were wearing headscarves and huge earrings, and then she felt a little more at ease. At the same time, she felt a little self-deprecating. However, the merchants dressed in the Nanzhou tribe were so worried that she was really afraid of the ropes by being bitten by a snake for ten years.
This Dongyue Inn is five-story high. Except for the first floor, which is the hall, which allows people to eat in the hall, the upper floors are all guest rooms. Of course, the best rooms are all on the top floor. However, today there are only two font-sized rooms, and the rest are left by the Nanzhou people in front of them, so they can only need a few more font-sized rooms.
When arranging the room, Lin Haoming asked Shu Siyue and Qi Niang to live with him without hesitation, leaving one for Yu'er, and the others lived in the fourth floor room.
It was safe overnight. Early the next morning, Lin Haoming took everyone to see the house, leaving only the injured Lan Qingyu, Yin Fengling and Li'er who took care of them. Han Ningxiang was taken out by Jia Qiniang. After all, there was no maid around him.
Although Lin Haoming has already planned to live in the official house after taking office, it is not Kun County after all, and having a few more places to live is not a bad thing. Moreover, Lin Zhen also wants to open the Lin Family Trading Company here, so he naturally has to prepare a place for them to settle down.
The owner of the ship surnamed Tian was indeed as agreed yesterday. He had been waiting at the dock early in the morning. After the group boarded the boat, he specially exchanged new tea for everyone. Although the tea was not very expensive, the owner of the ship had a lot of thought.
Kun County is densely populated with river networks, and the rivers in the Ditto City are also well connected. Most of the ships hired by Lin Haoming can be used. This is why Lin Haoming is willing to hire a ship.
There is no river channel in Dongshi, but the houses near Dongshi are really close to the river channel. Moreover, because the inn is close to the official house, everyone just sat there for less than half an hour before they docked again.
After getting ashore, there was a long street along the river, and the house was on this long street. After getting ashore, the owner of the ship surnamed Tian had already introduced Lin Haoming about the general situation of the house.
Lin Haoming walked while listening. When he arrived at the door of the house, the ship owner was finished speaking. He also ran to the door where the door was closed with a smile and knocked on the copper ring on the door.
Soon, an old man who looked seventy and eighty years old opened the door. Although the old man looked quite old, he was very energetic. After seeing the ship owner, he immediately invited everyone in, obviously he had achieved the purpose of knowing that the group of people came here.
This house is indeed not small. The entrance is a front yard, followed by the front hall. Two corridors lead to the atrium on the left and right sides. There are several halls on both sides of the atrium. After the atrium, there are gardens. The garden is built with a pond in the middle, which looks quite elegant. On both sides of the garden are the east and west wing rooms, with twelve rooms each. After the garden, there is also a back yard and several rooms. Generally speaking, although it is not very big, it meets Lin Haoming's requirements.
The old man brought everyone to the tour while introducing the details. Although he had heard the ship owner say it before, the old man's introduction was obviously more detailed.
This house was originally owned by an official, but it was unlikely that he would come back within a thousand years because he was transferred to another county. He planned to sell it. In fact, most of the houses sold nearby are for this reason. The better the houses, the fewer the number and more expensive the price.
After walking around, Lin Haoming thought this place was good. Siyue and Qi Niang were also satisfied with it, especially the pond, which was not big, but it was well arranged. It has been more than a year since the owner left here, but there is still someone to take care of it. There is no feeling of mess. He just needs to buy some furniture and equipment to live directly. Everyone is too lazy to run more, so he will naturally make a reservation as soon as possible.
Everyone was thinking so Lin Haoming asked the old man directly about the price, and the old man directly quoted the price of 650 Shijing.
The price is much higher than what the ship owner named Tian said before, 500 Shijing was much higher. Lin Haoming did not ask about the specific price of the house here, but he didn't care about the price, so he asked Shu Siyue to negotiate with the other party. However, the old man was just the owner of the house. The old housekeeper he hired was just too old and was willing to leave with the owner. So he stayed there. The one who could really determine the price was the son of the owner of the house who stayed in the city. Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to buy it after seeing it, and the person was not there, so it was difficult to continue to negotiate for a while.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming had to make an appointment with the other party and made an appointment here two days later to continue to negotiate the price.
Because it was much faster than I had imagined to buy a house, since it was only half an hour away from Dongshi, after leaving the house, Lin Haoming planned to take everyone to Dongshi, especially to buy some utensils and furniture. In addition, he also had to spend money to buy some servants, maids and so on.
When Lin Haoming said he wanted to go to Dongcheng City, the ship owner named Tian took the initiative to become a guide again. Although Dongcheng City is far less familiar to him, after all, he has been here for many years and will visit Dongcheng several times a year.
After walking for a while, I entered the East City. The streets of East City are not very wide. Although there are some pedestrians, cars and horses, there is a gap compared to the prosperity Lin Haoming imagined. However, one thing is certain that most of the people who appear in East City dress more decently, and they can’t see any beggars and downs. It is obvious that the control of this place is quite strict.
There are small buildings on both sides of the streets of Dongshi, mostly three floors, and there are also some high buildings with four or five floors. Most of the decorations on the facades are extremely grand, showing the level here.
When he arrived here, Lin Haoming said he wanted to buy some furniture and equipment, so the owner personally took a few people to several stores for sale.
Lin Haoming handed over the purchase to Shu Siyue directly, while he kept looking at the customs and culture here, occasionally asking about the business conditions or two.
In less than an hour, I bought the things I just bought, and it was time to eat, so Lin Haoming went directly to eat in a nearby restaurant.
Because this restaurant in Kanjun is located in the water and has abundant aquatic products, some rare things in Kanjun are very common here.
Lin Haoming ordered some dishes and asked everyone to sit down and eat them together. The owner of the boat was a little embarrassed to see this, because he saw that the dishes on the table alone were worth more than the price of a month for his own boat. He had never eaten such a good meal in his life. The more he did this, the more embarrassed he was. In the end, Lin Haoming kindly reminded him, and then he nodded and picked up a few chopstick dishes.
