Quick Travel System: Age Strategy
Chapter 32: Strategy for Warlords in the Age of War 3
Aunt Cheng Cheng raised her lips and said, "After leaving the Yu family, our lives will get better and better from now on."
She thought to herself that now she was not short of money, and with this breakup fee she could live a comfortable life in Beijing. She would not be constrained, no one would control her, and she would not have to endure the humiliation.
She muttered, "We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow, Cheng'er and Xiaoxiu should go to bed quickly." She quickly lay down on the bed. She was used to sleeping on a carved bed since she was a child, and she was not used to sleeping on such a soft bed.
"Okay, mother." After leaving Anjiatun, no one knew about their past, and she could finally call her aunt mother.
Hearing her daughter calling her mother, Cheng Cheng's aunt Zhang Xueling looked at her happily and said, "Go to sleep, Cheng'er."
At night, the three of them relaxed and fell into a sweet dream...
next day
Xiaoxiu went downstairs to buy some buns and porridge. The three of them ate and cleaned up. They simply took a box of gold bars and closed the door and left.
Today they plan to ask around for houses and find an agent to buy a good home.
Walking out of the inn, looking at the streets outside, both sides of the street were bustling with vendors setting up stalls. Cheng Cheng went to talk to the vendor selling candied haws. "Uncle, do you know who knows the most about buying a house here?"
The vendor lifted his eyelids and took a look. "Are you planning to buy a house?"
"Yes, big brother." Aunt Chengcheng Zhang Xueling stepped forward and replied.
"If you want to buy a house, you should go find Third Master Xie. He has a wide network of contacts and knows a lot of information, so he is the best person to go to." Seeing that they were all wearing expensive silk clothes, they should be rich. Although Third Master Xie has many connections, buying a house still costs a lot of money.
Auntie Zhang Xueling smiled and said, "Brother, where does Third Master Xie live?"
"His territory is in the Pankou area. When you get there, just tell your men to look for Third Master Xie and you'll see him."
"Okay, thank you big brother. Xiaoxiu will buy three strings of candied haws." The big brother replied sincerely. He asked for a long time and delayed the other person's business time. Please patronize his business.
"Yeah." Xiaoxiu reached into her purse, took out ten silver dollars and handed them to the vendor.
The vendor looked at the money and refused, "This is too much. Two silver dollars will be enough."
"Brother, just keep it." Knowing the important information about the house does not require them to be bothered by a small amount of money. They are rich people now.
The vendor smiled even more warmly. "Well, I won't be polite to you. Thank you." He took the money and accepted it.
Chengcheng walked to the candied haws stick and carefully selected the flavor.
The vendors made seven kinds of candied haws, including the most common hawthorn candied haws, orange candied haws, candied date candied haws, stuffed candied haws (with walnuts, chestnuts, and red bean paste), and candied haws wrapped with melon seeds. There are so many varieties, what should I choose?
"Mom, Xiaoxiu, what flavor do you want to eat?" I haven't eaten candied haws for a long time. Hehe, I'll satisfy my craving this time.
The two people who had just finished chatting with the street vendors came up to Chengcheng and started to choose, "Miss, I want candied haws with hawthorns." Xiaoxiu had never eaten candied haws before. They were not sold in Anjiatun before. Peking has really developed well. There are so many street vendors.
"Then I'd like to order candied dates." I've eaten candied dates alone, but I've never tried them made into candied haws.
I have chosen my mother and Xiaoxiu, except for her. I am really conflicted.
"Then I'll quickly make the candied haws with walnut filling." Chengcheng picked up a candied haws from the candied haws stick.
[Chengcheng, did you choose the walnut-stuffed candied haws because you want to nourish your brain? Oh, oh...]
When Chengcheng heard Yitong implying that she had a low IQ, she immediately felt unhappy.
"After I was bound to your poisonous tongue system, it always irritated me. I had to eat some walnuts to improve my heart. You don't understand this, Yitong. Walnuts are not only good for the brain."
Humph, it is nothing compared to what it is usually proud of.
[……] He turned the tables on the assassin.
After buying the candied haws, the three of them called two rickshaws. Chengcheng's aunt Zhang Xueling sat in the front rickshaw and went first, while Chengcheng and Xiaoxiu followed closely in the back rickshaw.
They arrived at Pankou in a short while. After getting off the car and paying the fare, they looked around Pankou.
"Mom, this is such a big market!" Cheng Cheng exclaimed. There were tons of cargo ships docked there, and there were densely packed workers carrying and unloading cargo. How could we find Mr. Xie? There were too many people.
Aunt Zhang Xueling frowned and didn't know what to do. "Cheng'er, let's go ask the person in charge on the ship first."
"it is good."
The three of them went there together, and when they got near the cargo ship, they saw a man in coarse clothes directing the workers.
"Hurry up, you have to move quickly. After this batch of goods is finished, we have to go get the next batch."
He looks like someone in charge.
The three approached, and Cheng Cheng asked, "Hello, we want to find Mr. Xie San, do you know him?"
The steward looked over and asked, "What do you want to see Third Master Xie for?"
Chengcheng's eyes lit up, this was a recognition.
"We want to ask him about buying a house."
The manager looked at the two people behind him and nodded, it seemed to be true.
"Xiao Liu, take them to find Master Xie San." He called a capable subordinate over.
"Hey, everyone please follow me."
Cheng Cheng and the other two followed behind, walking from east to west for a few hundred meters, and then walking from west to north for a while before they found an ancient courtyard.
Xiaoliu went forward and knocked on the door, informing his master, "Third Master, someone is looking for you. I've brought the person with me."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, go down." A rough and low voice came from the room.
When Xiaoliu heard the Third Master say that he had worked hard, he left happily as if he had received a reward.
"Everyone, come in."
When Cheng Cheng and his friends pushed the door open, they saw a man sitting on an armchair, smoking a hookah and blowing out smoke.
"Are you Mr. Xie Sanye?" asked Aunt Chengcheng Zhang Xueling.
The man exhaled a puff of cigarette and looked up nonchalantly, "Yes, it's me."
"Then do you know any housing information? We want to buy a house."
Mr. Xie raised his pipe and said, "Please take a seat first."
After sitting down, he added: "I do know most of the houses in Beiping City, but if you want to look at the prices from my house, it's different."
How much more expensive could it be? They are rich people now.
Aunt Zhang Xueling continued his conversation, "Thank you, Third Master. How much is your introduction fee?"
"To be honest, my introduction fee is three gold bars. If you think it's too expensive, you can leave now. If you think it's suitable, we can continue the conversation."
"Okay, I agree to the introduction fee of three gold bars." Aunt Zhang Xueling looked at him and said.
Mr. Xie sat up straight and said slowly, "Do you have any requirements for the house?"
Cheng Cheng thought that the house should not only look good, but also be in a safe place. The world is a chaotic place and it is easy to lose it if you are not careful.
She simply said, "I want to find a safer house."
Hearing her daughter's request, Aunt Zhang Xueling added, "Yes, a safe and beautiful house."
Mr. Xie nodded in understanding. "I have three places that match what you mentioned. One is a single-family villa in the French Concession. The disadvantage is that it is too far from the city center and the surrounding suburbs are sparsely populated. One is a two-story Western-style building in the city. The disadvantage is that it is too close to the city and may affect sleep. One is a flat courtyard at the city gate. There are soldiers guarding the city gate every day and it is relatively safe. The disadvantage is that there are too many people living there."
After hearing what Mr. Xie said about the three houses, which had both advantages and disadvantages, the three of them discussed it and unanimously chose one.
"Thank you, Third Master. We have decided to choose the second two-story Western-style building." Aunt Chengcheng Zhang Xueling replied.
