After breakfast, the family of four talked about buying a house again.
"Ruishan, do you like the storefront of Xiangrui Building?" Looking at his man, Li Xiaohu asked.
"Well, the shopfront of Xiangrui Building is really good. The front yard is a small two-story building facing the street, which can be used to open a restaurant. It is located at the end of the East Street, and the location is also very good. The back yard is a spacious courtyard. There are six rooms in the main room, six rooms in the east wing, and six rooms in the west wing. We can live in the main room by ourselves, and the wing room can be used as a kitchen." Thinking of the shop, Chu Yang was very satisfied.
Hearing what his man said, Li Xiaohu smiled. "Then, shall we buy this Xiangrui building?"
Hearing this, Chu Yang frowned. "The front yard and the back yard of the Xiangrui Building cost a total of two hundred and forty taels of silver. Although we can afford the two hundred and forty taels of silver. However, apart from buying a house, we have no money for decoration and opening a store! "That's why Chu Yang didn't buy it for a long time. Although he likes that house very much, this house is really too expensive!
"It's okay, you like this house, just buy this house, we have money." After speaking, Li Xiaohu took out two bank notes from his pocket and handed them to Chu Yang.
"One hundred and eighty taels? Xiaohu, where did you get so much money?" Chu Yang was taken aback when he took the bank note. You know, this one hundred and eighty taels of silver is not a small sum!
"I know, last night, elder brother and father secretly went to Meiyuxuan, and sold all the four pieces of jewelry that you bought for elder brother's marriage!" Li Xiaobao spoke, making a small report.
"Father, Xiaohu!" Looking at the two of them, Chu Yang was astonished. Yesterday at dinner, Xiaohu said that Xiaobao wanted to eat small wontons, and asked him to take Xiaobao to eat small wontons. It turned out that his wife deliberately pushed him away.
"Ruishan, both father and Xiaohu can see that you like the house in Xiangruilou. Xiaohu said that he wants to sell the jewelry to raise money for you to buy a house. After discussing it with me, I also think that jewelry is not worth eating or drinking. It’s useless, so let’s sell it! The most important thing now is to buy a decent house!” Looking at Chu Yang, Li Sixi said so.
Hearing this, Chu Yang glanced at his father-in-law gratefully, and then turned to look at his daughter-in-law. "Xiaohu, why are you so stupid? Why did you sell all the jewelry?"
"Ruishan, I have known you since I was thirteen. I got engaged to you when I was fourteen and married you when I was sixteen. I am eighteen this year, and we have been together for five years. I can see your thoughts Yes, I know that house is what you like, and I also like that house, anyway, my jewelry has worn out for two years. In the future, you can just buy me new ones!" Looking at his man, Li Xiaohu said softly. Ruishan was so kind to him, how could he make things difficult for his man? So, in order to help the man buy a house, he sold the pearl necklace, jade bracelet and his nobile without hesitation!
"Xiaohu, thank you!" Chu Yang said softly, and hugged him tightly in his arms gratefully.
"Ruishan, let's go buy a house! Just let Dad and Xiaobao stay at home and watch things!" Li Xiaohu asked softly as he patted the man's back with a smile.
"Okay!" Nodding, Chu Yang gently let go of his wife, took her by the hand and left the inn together.
The silver in my hand changed from two hundred and forty-five taels to four hundred and twenty-five taels all of a sudden, and it didn't take much effort to buy another two hundred and forty taels of house. After the house was bought, Chu Yang went to the government to apply for the house deed, while Li Xiaohu moved into their new home with his father and younger brother.
Holding the deed in his hand, looking at the rows of big houses in the front and back yards, Chu Yang slightly raised the corners of his mouth. After five years of hard work from the age of thirteen to eighteen, he was finally a man with a house and Shop, people with daughter-in-law!
After the house was bought, it was time to decorate it. It was the slack season, so the masons in Daliushu Village were naturally the first choice if they wanted someone to come and do the renovations. In addition to the masons, Chu Yang also invited the village carpenter to help with the cabinets and decorations. In addition, the master blacksmith was also invited to make iron stoves and some barbecue stoves for barbecue, which also required the master blacksmith to do it.
Although the weather was not warm in October, the villagers were bustling with activity, helping Chu Yang to decorate the shop in the front yard according to Chu Yang's request. Seeing that Chu Yang bought such a big house, the villagers of Daliushu Village were also very envious of the Li family.
Looking around in the front yard, Chu Yang looked around in the back yard. The six main rooms in the backyard have been cleaned and all the furniture bought. One is the living room, one is the father's room, one is Xiaobao's room, and the other is his and Xiaohu's bedroom. There are also two smaller guest rooms.
In the six rooms on the west side, Chu Yang plans to use one as a ingredients room for dipping sauces for barbecue, and two as a kitchen for making cold dishes and delicacies with smoked sauce. One is used as a vegetable washing room, which is specially used for washing vegetables and cutting meat. There are two left, one with a cellar for storage of food, and one for utility room to store some sundries.
There are six wing rooms on the east side, Chu Yang plans to make them into six independent small rooms. It was reserved for the workers in the store, because the people in the backyard were involved in the ingredients, so Chu Yang didn't plan to hire people, he wanted to go directly to Yazihang to buy people. After buying people back and holding their deeds of sale in their hands, Chu Yang doesn't have to worry, his formula will be spread!
Behind the main room, there is a small back door that leads directly to the street behind the restaurant. Chu Yang came out from the back door. Looked around. The neighbor to the west of the restaurant is a small show shop. The shop is not big, and it is built next to the restaurant. There is a one-foot space between the two houses, which is basically the same as being connected.
The neighbor to the east of the restaurant is a teahouse. The size of the shop is about the same as the restaurant. The shop in front is also a two-story building with the same height as the restaurant. The two small buildings are very close to each other. But the courtyard behind was two meters away from the courtyard wall of Chu Yang's house. A dead end was formed.
Standing in front of the blind alley full of all kinds of sundries, Chu Yang took a look. He walked towards the alley. There was a lot of rubbish in the alley. There were some old door frames, wooden boards, bamboo baskets, some rags, and some dead bodies of cats and dogs. There was nowhere to go. . However, this dead end is very long. Chu Yang calculated while walking, he thought this alley should be nearly 80 meters long.
"You, who are you? What are you going to do?" Looking at Chu Yang who suddenly barged into the alley, a little beggar hiding in a corner stared at him. He was obviously very scared but deliberately pretended to be fierce, so that people could watch him. Just want to laugh.
Hearing this, Chu Yang lowered his head and saw the beggar hiding in the haystack. "Do you live here?" Looking at the beggar, Chu Yang asked softly.
"Yes, this is our territory. Our boss will be back in a while, you, don't try to steal our territory!" Speaking of the boss, the little beggar got up from the ground, threatened Chu Yang coldly, and immediately With confidence.
Hearing this, Chu Yang smiled. "Don't worry, I just bought a house, and I won't come to take your place. I live in the restaurant next door, so I can be regarded as neighbors with you!"
Hearing this, the little beggar was dumbfounded. "You, are you the one who bought the restaurant?" Beggars are the most well-informed when they walk around the streets, so the little beggar knows that the restaurant next door to them has been sold five days ago! Got a new owner.
"Yes, I live next door. How many people live here?" Looking at the beggar, Chu Yang asked again.
"Five, five people!" After thinking for a while, the little beggar answered the other party's question.
"Okay, wait for your boss to come back. You tell him that Li Ruishan from the restaurant next door wants to use this alley to build a small house for you, and let him come and talk to me." Looking at the little beggar, Chu Yang said pleasantly with.
"What? Build a house, build a house for us?" Hearing this, the little beggar was stunned.
"Yes, wait for your boss to come back. Come and find me, and then we will discuss the specific details in detail!" Looking at the little beggar, Chu Yang said solemnly.
"Oh, oh!" Nodding, the little beggar expressed his understanding.
—————————
In the evening, Chu Yang was tidying up the east wing with his father-in-law in the backyard, when five ragged, disheveled little beggars appeared at the back door of his house.
Seeing them, Chu Yang put down the words in his hands and walked out the back door directly. "You are all back!" Looking at the five people, Chu Yang took the initiative to speak.
"You, you are Boss Li of the restaurant, right? My name is Goudaner, their boss!" Looking at Chu Yang, a slightly taller beggar walked in front of the other four and looked at Chu Yang.
"Yes, my name is Li Ruishan." Looking at the other party, Chu Yang smiled and announced his name.
"Are you going to build that dead end into a house and drive us away?" Staring at Chu Yang, the little beggar asked again.
"No, I don't intend to drive you away. I will pay for the house and it belongs to me, but I can lend it to you. Of course, there are conditions!" Speaking of this, Chu Yang paused.
"What condition?" Goudan asked suspiciously after being stunned.
"First, my restaurant is being renovated and I need manpower. You have to work for me for free until the decoration of my restaurant is completed. Of course, I can take care of your two meals a day. Second, after the small house is built, we will It needs to be used one day a month. However, it is only used during the day and not used at night. It will not affect your night stay." Looking at the five people, Chu Yang expressed his request.
"Just, just these two?" Staring, the five little beggars asked in disbelief.
"Yes, just these two. Are you willing?" Nodding, Chu Yang answered very positively.
Hearing this, Goudan'er looked at his four brothers, and the other four nodded their heads.
"Yes, we are willing. What, when will the house be built?" Looking at Chu Yang, Goudan asked impatiently.
"If you are willing, starting tomorrow, you first clean up the dead end, and then I will ask the masons to come and build the house. The front yard, bricks, tiles and sand are all ready-made."
"Okay, okay, we'll clean it up tomorrow!" Nodding, Goudan hurriedly responded.
