After marrying the sister next door

If An Ji knew what An Sheng had done, he would be very pleased, and the winery can only be run with a united effort.

The group arrived in Fucheng on the evening of the third day. Everyone was very excited when they saw the tall and majestic Qing'anfu city gate. They had only been to the county seat as far as they could, and they never thought that they would come to Fucheng one day.

Because there is a way to check the road guides when entering the city, the queue is relatively long. Anji simply got out of the car with the child in his arms, and let the little guy see the outside world. Xiao Nanfeng’s favorite place these days is the window of the car. Let her and Bai Cha hug each other at the car window to watch the scenery outside, and you can hear her happy laughter all the way.

An Nanfeng looked left and right to see that everything was novel, and from time to time he said ah ah to Anji, not knowing what she wanted to express, but Anji would nod in response anyway.

Ankang saw everyone laughing like this, and it was the same when he came to Fucheng for the first time. Seeing Anji getting out of the car with the child in his arms, he couldn't help but jumped out of the car and walked to Anji, reminding him with a smile: "We can only stay in the hotel when we go in, Fucheng The cost of staying in a hotel is very expensive, and you can only live in a common bunk for ten yuan." The last time he came with An Sheng, they slept in the carriage, after all, it was not worth it for the two of them to spend twenty yuan to sleep in a normal bunk.

Anji smiled after hearing this: "You have to go in even if you are expensive. You can't live in the compartment now that it's cold. If you catch a cold, it's much more expensive to see a doctor in Fucheng than to stay in a hotel." Although she brought some commonly used medicinal materials, Ankang had to understand, You can't ignore everyone's health just to save money.

Ankang thought so when he heard the words. The last time he and Ansheng came to Fucheng, the weather was very hot. They lived in the carriage to cool off and save money. They can't do that now. Besides, they can't live in two more mule carts. .

Because of the slow queue, Anji didn't get in the car, and walked slowly beside the mule cart with the child in his arms, chatting and laughing with Baicha and Sanya all the way at ease.

Bai Cha was sitting on the co-pilot seat, holding a rattle to attract Xiao Nanfeng's attention, but the little guy only looked at her occasionally, giggled at her, and went to watch other novel things.

Bai Cha looked amused, and said to An Ji: "Give me the baby, your hands will be sore after holding it for a long time." Xiao Nanfeng is already very heavy, and she will feel tired if she holds it all the time.

Anji smiled when she heard the words, and made a gesture to hand Nanfeng to his wife, but the little guy hugged her neck tightly and refused to let go, shaking his head to express his reluctance.

Angie blinked at his daughter-in-law, "Look, you little brat is so smart."

white tea...

After entering the city, because the sky was getting dark, everyone found an inn near the city gate to live in. The expenses of the women's family members staying in the inn and eating all the way were spent by Anji. The common room of people's shop.

They are all together, and they don’t have to worry about things being stolen if they live in one room. The food and lodging of the six of them is the money of Huajiufang, and every expense has to be accounted for. It is impossible for such people to live in a standard room. Fifty yuan, they want three rooms, it is [-] yuan, he can't explain it when he goes back.

After rushing for several days, everyone was very tired. After eating, they went back to their rooms to wash and rest.

Early the next morning, I left the room after breakfast, got on the mule cart and went straight to the Yaxing. When I arrived at the Yaxing Anji let my wife and children sit in the carriage, and she got off the mule cart and went in with Ankang.

The ancient dental shops are similar to modern intermediaries, except that the dental shops here have a wider business scope, which can be felt from the moment they enter the door.

Anji's eyes were full of curiosity. It was the first time he came to the dental shop here, and he saw signs of different businesses hanging around. He frowned carefully to see that there were livestock trading, job introduction, house buying and selling leasing, goods transfer, and human trading!There were many people standing against the wall over there, men, women, young and old. They vaguely understood that those people should be slaves. Thinking of people being picked and picked like goods, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

After Wang Xiao finished his work, he saw a man and a woman standing at the door, and there was no one to entertain him, so he immediately greeted him with a smile and asked, "Hi, my servant is Wang Xiao, a dental man. Are you two looking for a job, or buying and selling livestock houses..." His mouth was not idle, and he introduced the business of the dental clinic all over.

Anji listened very patiently, and occasionally interjected a question to ask, listening to the fact that renting a house charges half a month's rent as a commission, which is not too high.

Anji smiled and expressed his intentions: "We want to rent a tighter yard, preferably cheaper, with an annual rent of less than five taels."

Wang Xiaoting was renting a house, and immediately searched for a suitable house in his mind. He opened his mouth and talked about three empty courtyards with a single family, and explained the advantages, disadvantages and prices of the courtyards one by one.

Anji nodded to show that he understood. To put it simply, the courtyard with a good location is relatively small. There are no more than six main rooms plus east and west wing rooms. The large rooms in the courtyard are far away from the city, which sounds a bit unsatisfactory. , it’s too far away, and it’s not enough to toss on the road every day. Besides, it’s hard to guarantee safety when it’s too far away, and the nearby yard is too small to put wine.

After thinking about it, Yaren frowned and asked: "Within the annual rent of ten taels, can I rent an independent courtyard with more than ten rooms and a larger yard near the city?"

It takes a process for Anling shochu and medicinal wine to open up sales, and the rented yard must be suitable in all aspects. She doesn't want to rent a similar one and then change it later, so the price is not her main focus, but suits their needs. is the point.

Ankang's heart trembled when he heard it, renting a yard for ten taels of silver, and thinking about it made his heart ache. Although he slandered in his heart, Anji is the chief manager of the winery, so these things are naturally up to her.

Seeing that the female guest officer didn't blink, he doubled the budget, knowing that this is a happy owner, and that the fact that he can raise the budget so quickly shows that there is still a lot of room, more precisely, as long as the house The right price is not a problem, so I asked about the purpose of renting the yard.

After hearing this, Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "There is a courtyard on Keguan East Street. There are more than 20 large rooms in the courtyard and three shops. The shop is on the street of Dongda Street. Where can I go there?" It's all convenient, and the annual rent is 20 taels of silver." Although the guest officer only said that there is no alcohol to live in, he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and introduced this yard to be very suitable for them.

Ankang's eyes widened when he heard this, how much, 20 taels, these people really dare to say, they clearly asked if the yard within ten taels is good.

Anji raised his brows slightly when he heard this, and squinted at his eyes, tsk tsk, what a good sale, and immediately nodded to say that he could go and have a look.

Ankang...

Should he remind Anji that they brought out a total of 30 taels of silver, and they have already spent hundreds of dollars on the journey. If they spent 20 taels of silver to rent a yard, would they still have enough left over for other things?

Wang Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately said that he could watch it now, and asked the guest officer to wait for him to go with the steward to get the key.

Seeing Ankang coming out listlessly, Anping couldn't help asking what's the matter curiously. Hearing that Anji was going to see the courtyard with an annual rent of 20 taels, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Just look at it, and you don't necessarily have to rent it after seeing it. Besides, even if you decide to rent it, it must be Makes sense." He believed in Angie's choice.

When the group arrived at East Street, Anji came down and took a look around. The street was indeed not deserted, if you say it was bustling, it was still a spacious main street.

After everyone came down, Wang Xiao took out the key to open the door and introduced: "This is only two streets away from the most prosperous Fucheng Street in Qing'an Prefecture, and the people who live here are all rich people." Unlocked the lock and pushed the door open , let everyone watch at will.

Anji took people in and looked around. To be honest, everything was satisfactory. There was even a well, and there were a lot of belongings left in the room. There was no damage to the house. It can be seen that the house is well maintained.

After reading the shop, Anji asked one after another: "How much can this shop be rented out? Why did people rent a house in the past? How much does it cost to buy a house like this?" The house of the shop will be rented out, and the annual fixed rent will be more worry-free than buying land.

Wang Xiaowen said with a smile: "These three shops can be rented for one or two taels of silver. The owner is a relative of our shopkeeper. They bought a new house in the west of the city. They have just moved in for a month. This house can be rented or sold. The main price is 500 taels of silver, and the landlord means that if you sell it, you won’t rent it, and if you rent it, you won’t sell it.” The main reason why this house is so expensive is because of the three shops facing the street, and that’s why the rent is so expensive.

Thinking flashed in Anji's eyes when he heard the words, he nodded to express his understanding, and asked Yaren to help make an appointment with the landlord. She is very interested in renting this house.

Wang Xiaoyi laughed and said, "Our shopkeeper can make the decision." The owner of the house is a real relative of the shopkeeper's family. As long as the housekeeper has an agreement with the shopkeeper, the house owner can sign the contract directly when he comes.

An Ji and others followed Yaren back to the Ya shop. Wang Xiao took Anji Ankang into a partition and said with a smile: "Guest officer, wait a moment, I'll call the shopkeeper."

Ankang waited for Yaren to go out, and couldn't help but whispered: "Is there enough money for us? Do you want me to go back and ask my father for some?" According to Anji's way of spending, 30 taels can't last long, so he thought about whether to go back Get some silver.

Anji was amused when he heard the words, and shook his head with a broken smile: "You have to go back, but not for money, but to arrange for people to transport wine here." As long as the yard is properly rented, you can transport liquor here .

Zhou Laifu, the shopkeeper of the dental shop, came in and greeted the sitting girl with a smile. After listening to Wang's novel, the matter of renting a house was decided by this girl.

An Ji waited for the dentist to introduce her to the shopkeeper, and began to tentatively bargain and discuss the payment method. There is no such thing as a price for renting and selling a house. Let go.

Anji has been negotiating the rental price. When shopkeeper Zhou let go of the payment method, he suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "I also know that shopkeeper Zhou is renting a house for relatives, so I won't embarrass you. The rent will be according to your wishes. The annual rent is 20 taels of silver, but I have to pay the rent monthly. If the shopkeeper Zhou still refuses to agree to this, it will appear too insincere. We came to Fucheng to make a living, and we will inevitably trouble you in the future. It’s not a good idea to push it to another dental clinic.”

Hehe, they brought out a total of 30 taels of silver, which is not a waste of money. The reason why they insist on renting this house is that it suits them, and the other is because they like the three shops. Now they only need to rent it and go back She posted rental information, and the rent was required to be paid annually, so that once it was rented out, it would be easier on hand.

Shopkeeper Zhou's eyelids twitched when he heard this, knowing that he had been duped. The other party didn't want to reduce the rent at all, but the idea of ​​monthly payment from the beginning.

Wang Xiao watched from the side, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. This female guest officer dared to say that he had been working as a dentist for two years, and he had never seen a monthly renter. If the shopkeeper disagrees, the house will not be rented by others, and they will not patronize their business in the future. Although the dental shop is not bad for one or two orders, it must maintain its reputation after all, and there is no need to spend money on this matter. The reason to push forward.

In the end, shopkeeper Zhou agreed to Anji’s request to deposit one and pay one. Anji waited for the landlord to come, and the two parties signed the contract under the witness of Yaren. , the shopkeeper Zhou will collect it on his behalf, so this is added to the contract, and Anji also let the owner write a sentence, the landlord agrees to the tenant to sublet the shop.

After Ankang paid the money, he admired Anji in his heart. He thought he would have to pay 20 taels, but he paid more than four taels of silver in the end.

Anji put away the contract, smiled and exchanged greetings with the homeowner and the shopkeeper, and left with Ankang and the key.
