The young man thought for a while, then turned around and said, "All right, I'll take you to the inn."
Man Bao and the others immediately pulled up their horses and followed him, while Bai Shan stopped a guard and told him in a low voice: "Go and tell Nie Canjun to let him stay at the intersection for a while, and we will arrange a place to live first. "
The guard should go down.
The young man led them into the street. The houses here are not the same as those in the Central Plains, and the appearance of the people is also slightly different, not to mention the clothes and jewelry.
People on both sides of the street saw that Zhou Man and the others were accompanied by a young man, they looked at the young man with envy and regret, and did not crowd around to recommend their place like they did at the intersection.
The further you go in, the taller the house is, the bigger the door is, and there are more shops on both sides.
Man Bao found that many shops here were filled with wolf skins, melons and fruits, and brightly colored cloth.
Seeing her curiosity, the young man enthusiastically said: "This is our cloth, it is very beautiful, and I also have it at home. If Miss wants to buy it, I can sell it to you at a lower price."
Man Bao smiled and said: "Let's take a look first, you still have a lot of shops here, do you sell to your own people, or to passing merchants?"
"My own people also buy it, and merchants passing by also buy it. Our fabrics are very good and breathable."
Man Bao decided to look back and take a look.
The young man turned them into an alley, through which there was a bigger road, and it was by the lake.
The flowers and plants are luxuriant by the lake, butterflies are flying, and the heat in the afternoon will dissipate when the breeze blows.
Man Bao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked him, "How many big inns do you have here?"
Knowing that they would not live in his own home, the young man didn't hide anything, and said honestly: "There are two families, one is here, and the other is over there. The distance is not too far, and the location is the best."
Man Bao: "Is the accommodation expensive?"
The young man smiled: "Miss, do you still care about money?"
Man Bao nodded and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go home, and I'll have to stay and work to earn money."
I don't know where this sentence hit his point of laughter, the young man burst out laughing, and said to Man Bao, "No way."
After finishing speaking, he said: "Now that there are few guests and the room rate is not high, you can tell the boss that it is cheaper, and if it is not cheap, you can live in another house. He will definitely be willing to be cheaper."
At this point, the young man said in nonsense, "That money-grubbing Ale will never let anyone who enters his store go."
Manbao couldn't hear this Hu language with an accent very clearly, but Zhou Liru understood it, and whispered it in his sister-in-law's ear.
Man Bao raised his eyebrows, he knew it in his heart.
After walking for a while, the young man finally stopped at the entrance of an inn with high lanterns hanging on it. Before he entered, he shouted loudly, and greeted the people inside loudly, "Ale, I will bring you guests. gone."
Man Bao and the others knew that he wanted to make money at both ends, and they didn't mind such behavior.
A middle-aged man with two mustaches came out quickly, looked at Bai Shan and Zhou Man and the others with a smile on his face, and warmly invited them to come in and sit down, "Dear guests, do you want to stay in the hospital or in the upper room?" ?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Shan asked, "Do you still have a yard?"
"Yes, yes." Al smiled and pointed to the back and said, "The row behind and the row on the left belong to my house. I think the guests are honorable, so maybe they want to stay in the house."
Bai Shan then looked at Man Bao, "Do you want to be hospitalized?"
A detached house is naturally much more comfortable.
Man Bao asked, "How much is a yard?"
Only then did Ale look at Zhou Man, and replied seriously: "Whether the guests want to stay for a short time or for a long time, if they want to stay for a long time, they only need two taels of silver or a piece of primary silk to stay for a month."
This price is comparable to that in Beijing.
Man Bao asked, "How about a short stay?"
"It costs one hundred and twenty yuan a day, but our restaurant doesn't provide water and firewood. The ladies and gentlemen have to order their servants to buy it."
Man Bao: "Where is the upper room?"
"It's sixty cents a day to go to the house. Except for the lack of food, the adults are free to make tea or take a bath." Al smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, Miss, there are only a few people in the town. The price, when there are many people, we pay 80 yuan a day to rent a house, and the yard is not rented for a long time, and it costs three taels of silver a month."
It sounds much cheaper than the inn they stayed in when they entered the desert, but...
Man Bao and the others looked out, and there were all kinds of shops in the past, and of course there were inns, not to mention that there were so many people who wanted to rent out houses in this town.
The former is a unique business, not here.
Man Bao asked, "How many rooms are there in a yard?"
Ale introduced them in detail: "The yards are all similar, one big room, one main room, two small rooms, and then there are horse sheds and kitchens."
Man Bao blinked, "It's gone?"
Al spread his hands: "It's gone."
Oh, the rent is more expensive than in Beijing.
Several people offered to look at the house.
Ale led them to look with a smile, and after looking around at them, he said with a smile: "Young masters and ladies, two courtyards are enough, and they can come to our inn to stay."
It's about the guards of Daji.
However, when they were away from home, how could they stay alone and let the guards live elsewhere? Who knows if it will be robbed at night
The yard is behind the inn, and there is a long alley, which is their yard as soon as it slips down.
The yard is not big, half smaller than the yard of Manbao's own home. There are two rooms in the middle, one is the main room, extending out to a small room, and the other is the master bedroom. There are two rows of houses below. There are two rooms in a row. The one on the left is the guest room, which is not big, while the one on the right is the kitchen and the bathroom. It is very cold here when it is cold, and the bathrooms are specially built.
On both sides of the yard there is space for carriages and stables.
Small, but well-equipped.
But also too small.
After seeing the room, Man Bao asked the shopkeeper, "Is there no bigger one?"
Al was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes, there are, but they are more expensive."
Bai Shan said: "Show us."
The location of the large courtyard is better. It is on the same row as the inn, and it is built facing the lake. The courtyard in this row is relatively large. There are three main rooms, the main room in the middle, two rows of rooms at the bottom, and three rooms on one side. There are four rooms for people to live in, and the most wonderful thing is that there is a second floor.
In addition to the attic, there are four rooms on the second floor above the main building, all of which can accommodate people.
Al looked at their expressions, and said with a smile: "This row of yards is very expensive. It costs 5 taels of silver a month to rent, and 400 taels a night for a short stay..."
Bai Shan waved to Daji behind him, "Come on, bargain with him."
Daji: …
The guards are also a little stuffy, and it's fine to cut people, why do they still have to do the work of managing affairs
But he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. As soon as Bai Shan and the others got out of the way, the guards surrounded them to bargain with the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper's:...
see you at six pm
