After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money
Chapter 4 Renting a House
But she was also somewhat happy, as she could find something to do in the town. She didn't ask for anything else, as long as she could feed the children two steamed buns a day.
Thinking about this, she felt much better. She decided to just eat her meal first.
A family of six came to a noodle stall and asked the owner to give each of them a bowl of vegetarian noodles. A bowl of vegetarian noodles cost two cents, and four cents if there was meat. Soon, six large bowls of vegetarian noodles were served to everyone. Shi An picked up a noodle and tried it. It was very fragrant and chewy.
But after all, she is a person who is used to eating all kinds of delicious food in modern society, and she still misses the various toppings on the noodles.
Su Yu saw that she was absent-minded and asked, "Little girl, why don't you eat? Is it not delicious?"
"No, no... Dad... The noodles are delicious... But there are too many. I can't finish them all. Dad, please put some in your bowl."
"That's enough, Dad. Eat it yourself."
"Dad, I'm telling the truth. I really can't eat anymore..." As she said that, Shi An stood up (actually there was no change because she was too short) and raised her little hand to pick up some noodles for Su Yu.
Mrs. Deng was afraid that she would spill the noodles, so she stopped her and said, "Little girl, sit down. I'll help your father pick up the noodles."
"Okay, thank you mom!"
After Deng picked up some noodles for Su Yu, Su Xiaoya asked Deng to pick up some for herself, and then she started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
By this time, her sisters and brothers had almost finished the noodles in their bowls, and only then did she have time to look up at them.
Su Xiaoya smiled at everyone and then concentrated on eating noodles. Speaking of which, the stall owner was a very conscientious person. The six bowls of noodles he served were very filling, and even an adult man like Su Yu could hardly eat them full.
Deng went to pay, and the stall owner said it was twelve coins in total. Fortunately, she had twelve copper coins in her hand, so she paid the bill. A family was walking on the street, but they didn't know where to go?
Aimlessly, they soon came to a place similar to the current vegetable market. Shi An also listened to the voices of people talking on the street, and roughly knew that the country she was in was called Da Wei, and the emperor's reign was Zhenglong. At this time, he had been on the throne for six years. Su Shi An thought: I just don't know if it is the Wei Kingdom after the Three Kingdoms, the Northern Wei or the Eastern Wei?
The silver and money that common people often use are mainly copper coins and broken silver. One tael of silver is about one thousand copper coins, or one guan of money. In addition, there is a kind of exchange voucher called "flying money", which can be exchanged for silver and copper coins in money houses in various places. Usually, when the amount is large, everyone will use flying money. However, it is only limited to wealthy families. Ordinary people do not have so much savings, and they use more scattered silver and copper coins in daily life.
For the time being, she knew the prices were as follows: a piece of coarse cloth cost 100 coins, a pound of rice cost 5 coins, flour and rice were the same price, a pound of sesame oil cost 20 coins, two pounds of green vegetables cost half a coin, a large meat bun cost 1 coin, and two vegetarian buns cost half a coin...
She didn't know if her new parents still had money, but even if they did, it probably wasn't much. So the first thing they had to do was find a place to live, and then think of ways to make money.
Now, she is also a working person, although she is now alone after her parents divorced and remarried. But there are also good things about making money and spending it by yourself, so this is the first time she is worried about making money, and in this era that she is not familiar with.
The family walked further and further away, and she heard her father say to her mother: "Let's find a place to live first."
"But, we didn't..."
"It's okay. I'll have my hair done in half a month. We just need to hold on for these few days. We can't let everyone wander the streets. You see, Daya is already eleven years old. She will be a big girl soon."
Mrs. Deng could only nod: "Okay, I'll listen to my husband."
Su Daya spoke: "Mom and Dad, it doesn't matter... I..."
You, a grown-up girl, dare to sleep on the street, but I, a little girl, don't even want to! Shi An pulled her sister's hand and said, "Sister, let's listen to our parents."
Su Shirong pointed to a sign next to him that said "rent a house". He asked, "Dad, there are words here. What are they?"
Shi An almost escaped, but she held back. After all, she was just a little girl now. It would be a big deal if she could read. You see, Su Shirong, a boy who looked smart, couldn't read, let alone "Su Xiaoya"?
Su Yu took a look and replied, "It's a sign for renting a house. I came to knock on the door and ask."
Su Yu knocked twice, and a man in his forties or fifties walked out. He looked Su Yu's family up and down before opening the door and asking, "What's the matter?"
"We saw the house rental notice posted at the door, so we asked..."
"You guys want to rent a house?"
"Yes."
"My house is still a little bit inside there, it only has three rooms and a small yard, but there is no place to make a fire and cook."
"Then can we build a place to cook in the yard ourselves?"
"Of course, I can. I haven't finished yet. The house is a bit run-down. Oh... never mind. I'll show you around. We'll talk about whether you're willing to rent it after seeing it."
He led the Su Yu family and walked a distance into the alley. At the door of the house in the corner, he opened the door with the key and went in.
It was indeed very shabby, with weeds all over the yard and the gate wobbling, looking like it could be broken with a little more force. There were indeed three rooms, but they were all dusty, and the walls were covered with spider silk and various marks. There were also traces of rain, and it looked like the house was leaking. In the yard, you could still see where the stove used to be, but it had collapsed. The only good thing was that there was a well in the yard with water, so they didn't have to worry about water.
Shi An thought that if he had a few taels of silver, his parents would not like this place! However, he heard Su Yu ask someone, "Brother, how much money does it cost to rent this house?"
"Let me tell you, don't underestimate it because it looks shabby. It was originally a very nice house. If my brother hadn't gone out of town and never come back, and no one had taken care of it, it wouldn't have ended up like this..."
"Isn't my eldest brother in charge?"
"I didn't care. He came back at the beginning of this year and gave me the key. He said he gave it to me. But... I've rented it for almost a year, and you're the first one who asked about the price after looking at the house."
Deng stepped forward and bent her body slightly and said, "Big brother, our family is actually very poor. Please tell us a price. If it's suitable, we will rent it."
"Since you are so sincere, I will rent it to you for one tael of silver a year! Let me tell you, this is a house that is only available in Chenjia Lane."
Deng and Su Yu looked at each other, their eyes indicating that it was too expensive. Shi An knew that his family really had no money. Su Yu wanted to explain: "Brother, this price..."
"Uncle, how about 500 coins for half a year? You see, besides cleaning your house, we have to rebuild it. It rains heavily outside and lightly inside, right? And we don't have a stove, pots and pans, so we can't eat with our hands, right? So, uncle, thank you for your trouble."
The person who spoke was Shi An. She almost said, "Your house is so shabby that I'm afraid no one else will rent it except my parents."
Since you are too poor and the house is too shabby, you might as well rent one for half a year. In case you find another suitable place in the future, it will be convenient to move to another place.
