The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Su He walked in quickly, and Li Yaren followed him and gave an impromptu speech, "This small courtyard is very quiet, and there are teachers from Zhixing Private School next to it. The environment is quite good. There are three rooms, a kitchen, and a utility room. It is definitely a good deal to buy it. There are also furniture in it, miss, you can touch it, it is very solid."

Su He went into every room and took a look. The furniture was ordinary and sturdy, but there was a thick layer of dust on it, which showed that no one had lived there for a long time.

It looks good now, but I don’t know how long I can actually live here.

"How much silver?"

"Hehe, this isn't expensive, only 90 taels."

That’s it?

It's just one more room, but they dare to charge 45 taels more? !

"Let's see the next one."

Su He turned around and walked out.

Li Yaren couldn't figure out whether Su He liked him or not, so he could only follow him.

"This third place is not far away either. It's on the next street. Miss, follow me."

They arrived after walking a few steps.

"This yard is quite large, with two rows of houses in front and back. The front row houses the kitchen and utility room, as well as a servant's room, and a small vegetable patch on the side. The back row has three rooms, the largest in the middle, and smaller ones on the sides. There is also a well."

Ignoring the old style, the structure is quite good.

"How much silver?"

"Hahaha, 200 taels."

Su He looked at Li Yaren expressionlessly. Did this man think she looked stupid?

"Mr. Li, before I came here, I asked Mrs. Zhang from the Zhao Mansion, and she recommended your Chunxing Dental Clinic, so I came here."

"I don't think Li Yaren would try to play some tricks on a little girl like me."

When Li Yaren heard Su He mention the Zhao Mansion, he felt guilty, but he still said, "Miss, you are joking. How dare I?"

"This is a really nice yard. Look, there's a well. This house is really pretty."

Su He sneered, "This house is so old that it almost needs to be rebuilt. It's so popular, why haven't you sold it after so long?"

"You wanted to recommend this third house from the beginning. The first two were just foreshadowing. The comparison with the two expensive and inferior ones makes this third house look the best. You have a big appetite. You have the nerve to ask for such a high price. I think it is only worth 20 taels."

"I'm going to the Zhao residence tomorrow to ask Mother Zhang, is this how you do business at Chunxing Dental Clinic?"

"No, no, no, miss, I made a mistake. I have another yard right across the street. Why don't you go and take a look? Hehehe."

Li Yaren quickly led the way, turned around and wiped the sweat from his forehead. There was no hope for this order today.

The three of them walked into the house opposite. This yard was about the same size as the second one, but there was a well. Although all the houses could be seen as soon as they entered the door, Su He didn't care. If there was no screen wall, she could just build one herself.

There are three rooms, a kitchen, and a utility room. There is also a small vegetable garden behind the kitchen.

The place isn't big, but there aren't many people living there, so it's enough if they squeeze in.

"How much silver is this yard?"

Su He turned to look at Li Yaren, "This... this is 140 taels. This is the lowest price. I don't even want the middleman fee."

"90 taels."

"Eh (fourth tone), Miss, you remembered it wrongly. The second courtyard is only 90 taels, and it has a well."

"Why are you so excited? You asked for 90 taels. Did I agree? That room is 70 taels. This room has a well, so I added 20 taels. That's quite generous."

Su He glanced at Li Yaren and said, "I still need to replace the tiles in your house. There is no furniture in the house. It has nothing. I bought the well with my own money. There are spider webs all around this old one, and I still have to clean it. There is not even a screen wall. So the first place is the most cost-effective."

Li Yaren's eyes lit up, "How about the first one?"

“But I don’t like that one.”

Why would I praise it if it doesn't look down on you?

Li Yaren was gritting his teeth in his heart, but smiling like a flower on the surface.

"Miss, why don't you think about whether you want this yard or the one across the street? If you really want to buy it, I'll give you a discount and pay for the renovation. The third one will be 180 taels!"

"I think you really want to kill me!"

Li Yaren slapped his thigh exaggeratedly, "How is that possible? Everyone in this county knows that I, Li Yaren, am the most honest person. I'll give you five taels less this way."

Su He turned to his cousin behind him and said, "Uncle, a medium-sized room in the inn in this county is only 30 coins a day. I'd like to bargain for a room for three months. Do you know how much it costs?"

Shunzi was confused and was about to say he didn't know.

"Based on 30 days in a month, the original price for three months is 2 taels and 7 qian of silver. I will bargain for 2 qian of silver. Think about it, people eat three meals a day, and meat buns for each meal cost about 20 wen a day, so 1 tael and 8 qian of silver for three months.

Doesn’t that mean three meals a day are free?”

"So, cousin, would you rather rent an inn for three months and spend 2 taels and 5 cents on food, or choose a shabby courtyard for 180 taels?"

Shunzi didn't even have time to hear the numbers, but in the end he heard them clearly: one was 2 taels and the other was 180 taels. No matter how dumb he was, he still understood.

"Lotus, let's choose the inn instead of buying the house."

Su He nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Li Yaren, "Li Yaren, please don't say that I delayed your trip. You see, I really want to buy it. I can't afford the one that costs 180 taels. This yard now costs 95 taels. Do you want to sell it? If you sell it, I will give you the silver and transfer the deed immediately. If you don't want to sell it, you heard it too. In fact, it's better for me to rent an inn than to buy this house. My brother doesn't want to study anymore, so we can go back to the village directly and come back when he finishes his studies."

What else could Li Yaren say? What Su He said made him want to rent an inn. There was even a well ready-made. All he had to do was tell the waiter. He didn't even have to cook for himself. It was perfect for a bachelor like him.

Bah, no, no, we still have to buy a yard.

"Hehehe, Miss, the inn you rent is not your own home after all. If you run into a shady shop like that, you will suffer. It's safer to buy a yard."

"It's okay. If anyone dares to slander me, I will go to the Zhao Mansion to ask the old lady for justice. My brother's studies were arranged by the second master of the Zhao Mansion. I believe he won't mind helping him a few more times."

Okay, I'll count on you.

Finally, Su He added another two taels of silver to complete the deal.

Su He was already very hungry this time. He paid a deposit of 10 taels of silver and agreed to go over to pay the money and sign the deed after lunch.

He smiled happily only after Su He and others left.

"Lotus, why don't you rent an inn? It's still more cost-effective."

Shunzi was moved by what Su He said, even though he didn't have a penny in his pocket.

"Uncle, the inn has its advantages, but I want to find a quieter place. No one will chase us away no matter what happens to our own house. Now that the world is peaceful, there is no need to worry. If something goes wrong somewhere, the inn is not a good place to stay. The price may increase at any time. I originally had my eyes on this last house, but I said this just to lower the price."

Su He felt that today was going smoothly, and happily went to a roadside stall with Shunzi to eat.
