Taking advantage of the shopkeeper being surrounded, Man Bao and the others walked up to the second floor again, opened the window and looked at the opposite lake, and said refreshedly: "Such a good place, if you don't hurry, you can live for ten days and a half months." It's pretty good too."
Bai Shan was thoughtful: "Shall we hurry?"
Man Bao also pondered, "It seems that he is not in a hurry."
The two looked at each other, and Bai Erlang nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, we are not hurrying, we are here to study!"
Yin Yu nodded reservedly and said, "The scenery here is nice, you can stay for a while longer."
Liu Huan touched his waist and said, "The bones are about to break from the car ride these days. Mr. Zhuang must be more tired than us."
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at the people who were bargaining around the shopkeeper below, and immediately turned around and rushed down, pushing the guards out to go on their own.
Man Bao said: "I only wanted to stay for two days, but seeing the scenery here is passable, it's okay to stay for ten or twenty days."
Bai Shan: "But we have a lot of people, so the high rent is not worth it."
Al squeezed out a smile and said: "If you are satisfied with this yard, you can give me a cheaper price. There are many rooms in this big yard, and it is more than enough for the two guards to live in one room..."
Bai Shan interrupted him: "There are more than one hundred people outside of us."
Al was startled when he heard this, and after realizing it, he was pleasantly surprised, and said more enthusiastically: "Do you want to rent a house? If you guys book our inn, I can give you 10% cheaper monthly rent."
After a little thought, Bai Shan shook his head and said: "No, 20%, and we don't necessarily live for a full month, but there must be 20 days. I heard that there are strong winds and sand in the desert from time to time, so we will check the weather. The weather is beautiful, we will leave in about 20 days, and you will pay 80% of the monthly rent for our 20-day rent."
As soon as Ale heard that he had a toothache and was about to speak, Man Bao said, "It's just water, and you have to provide us with free firewood."
Bai Shan nodded: "Not bad."
The trees in the desert are not easy to cut. They are not locals, and they don’t know where to get firewood. Instead of worrying about it, it’s better to let the inn cover it.
Al did the math and disagreed.
Zhou Liru, who ran down from behind, said to him in nonsense: "Shopkeeper, there are no customers in this town now, and there are so many empty yards. If you don't want to rent it, we can go to another house. If the yard is empty, do you still need it?" It’s better to rent it to us if someone cleans it, the rent is not cheap.”
Liu Huan was still calculating in his mind how much this is not cheap, but he couldn't figure it out for a long time, so he turned to Bai Erlang and asked, "Do you know how much it is?"
Bai Erlang glanced at him and said: "If we live for a full moon, it will be four taels of a month, and if we only live for twenty days, it will be two taels of silver."
"That's right," Man Bao could understand what Zhou Liru said, although she didn't understand the local Hu language very much, because she spoke slowly and with their own accent, she continued in Chinese: " We need to rent at least six such large courtyards, by the way, do you have so many large courtyards?"
Al: "... what a coincidence, exactly six."
Man Bao sighed, "So this is fate."
Bai Shan continued: "There is also a caravan with us. There are not many of them, but there are several of them. Even if they don't rent the yard, they will stay in the inn. These are also the guests we brought, the shopkeeper. I heard that It’s been a long time since a decent caravan came to the town.”
To be honest, Al was very excited, but the price was really lowered.
Bai Erlang snapped his fingers and said: "We didn't bring a cook with us, the guards are fine, but we are not used to their cooking, so we have to eat and spend all kinds of expenses..."
Ale gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, but it's agreed in advance that if you don't stay for 20 days, the rent will be calculated as 20 days."
Man Bao and the others immediately nodded happily, "No problem."
They will definitely live for 20 days, and they will never waste rent!
So Bai Shan summoned a guard and asked him to go to the front to pick up Nie Canjun and the others, "Just say that we have already booked the inn, let them come here quickly."
The young man who was squeezed out couldn't help being dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to find his voice, "Then, is the new convoy at the street crossing with you?"
Man Bao nodded, "Of course, didn't you see that we didn't bring luggage? How could we go out so far without luggage?"
Youth: ... He didn't even notice it unless you said it.
Al made a big business deal, and then he remembered to ask: "The young masters and ladies don't seem to be going out to do business, don't you know?"
Bai Shan then said reservedly: "We are going on a study tour with Mr.
Ale breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "No wonder the young master is so proud."
Must set up six large courtyards, the merchants who come and go are reluctant to spend such money, at most they bring their confidants to the courtyard, and the others go to the inn to live in the common shop.
Bai Shan responded to this praise, mainly because they now have too many jewels and valuables in their luggage. The last time they stayed in the inn for one night, more than 20 people were needed to guard them. This cannot be the case here.
There are so many people living in the inn, who knows when something will be lost
It's better to have a detached courtyard. The courtyard is not too small, and it is no problem to park four carriages in one courtyard.
Seeing that they had a good deal, Daji stepped forward to pay the money.
Bai Shan and the others negotiated the price, sweated and refreshed, so he followed the shopkeeper back to the inn, where he could not only enjoy the lake breeze, but also take a look at the delicious food in the inn.
Man Bao gave the broken silver corner to the young man, and then said with a smile: "By the way, I also want to ask if you have any good cooks here."
You can't really let the guards and the soldiers cook for themselves, right
So if you can invite two cooks, let's invite two.
The youth cheered up, and immediately said: "My mother and my sister-in-law know how to cook."
Manbao six people: ... really don't forget to sell yourself all the time.
Nie Canjun, who finally got rid of the group of people at the intersection, opened his mouth in surprise when he saw the yard they had set up. After learning that they had set up for twenty days, everyone was even more speechless.
A soldier couldn't help but move closer to Nie Canjun, "My lord, is this... is it considered dereliction of duty?"
Nie Canjun came back to his senses, and said calmly: "Maybe there is a famous doctor here? It always takes a little time to inquire about famous doctors and prescriptions."
Soldiers: ... You say yes.
The two pedestrians also recovered from the shock, and after looking at each other, they calmed down a little. Forget it, let's treat this trip as an outing.
I don't know if they will be able to return to the capital at this time next year.
