Chapter 362: House viewing, bargaining(1/2)
Donor Shao also came to Yahang.
When he came, he paid for the round-trip ride. Now that he wanted to go back, he naturally had to find Hua Xiaonian and Li Hu.
Li Hu didn't know how much he paid.
Seeing him coming, he was a little embarrassed and said to Donor Shao, "Brother Shao, we can't go back for a while."
"If you're in a hurry..."
He wanted to say, if you are in a hurry to go back, take a ride elsewhere.
But before he could finish speaking, Shao Jingheng was the first to speak, "It doesn't matter, I won't have anything to do when I go back, you can just wait!"
What else doesn’t Li Hu understand?
Shao Jingheng’s excuses for copying and returning books!
He just wants to be with his boss.
Hua Xiaonian said, "We are going to see the house, Donor Shao. It will take a long time!"
Donor Shao, "No problem!"
If so, let's do it together.
Gu Gu just took out the key and took them to the dignitary area.
The dignitary district is not only home to dignitaries, but also some wealthy businessmen.
But I have to say that this area is really different from other places. The houses are all very large courtyards, and the blue bricks and green tiles are very elegant.
There is also a street market in the center.
It's just that the street market here is not as lively as the market in the center of the town when they came.
I heard from the valley that merchants or traders who want to sell things here have to pay money, at least a few taels per month.
Moreover, most of the restaurants and teahouses here are opened by the families of dignitaries, and the food there is very expensive.
Of course, it’s not just these, there are also medical clinics.
Gu Gu whispered, "There is a medical clinic here. I heard that it was opened by an imperial doctor who had served as an imperial doctor after he retired and returned to his hometown."
"His medical skills are very superb."
"Not only the dignitaries often come to him for medical treatment, but also the wealthy businessmen outside come to see him!"
“I heard the charges are extremely high!”
"Common people like me are looked down upon!"
As he said this, Gu Gu sighed.
This aroused Hua Xiaonian's interest. Is the imperial doctor's medical skills very powerful? How powerful is it?
She wants to see it!
However, now is not the time, she still has to look at the house first.
There will be plenty of opportunities to see it in the future.
There are many vacancies in the dignitary area, but there are not many vacancies in Guyajiayaxing. According to Hua Xiaonian's request...
He took them to one of the houses.
This one is very close, just two doors south from where the dignitaries came in.
From the outside, the courtyard looks very impressive, with three stone steps at the entrance and two majestic stone lions next to it.
The valley came up and opened the vermilion-painted door.
"A few of you, please come in."
While welcoming them in, he explained the courtyard to them.
This courtyard is not like the courtyards of the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries in Kyoto. It has a huge pond and a huge garden.
This is the courtyard house of Chuda University.
There is also a pond and a garden inside, but it is smaller!
But if it’s just a young couple living there, it’s definitely more than enough.
Gu Gu took them inside to see the yard, kitchen, front and back yards of each house, and finally came to the front hall.
"How do you feel, girl?"
Hua Xiaonian actually likes it.
To her, the house is large, the interior design is good, and the pond and garden outside are beautiful.
But Master said...
When buying a house, even if you really like it, you can't express it.
You need to pretend that it's okay, and you can change it if there are other houses, so that you can bargain for a better price.
She said, "It's okay!"
I have been working as a tooth man in the valley for many years. As soon as I heard her words, I knew that she liked it.
He smiled and said, "Young lady, you don't know. This is the only house left in our dignitary district."
"If the girl feels it's okay, I think you should start quickly."
"It just so happened that when I told the shopkeeper this morning, he thought there was only one house left, so he gave me a preferential price."
"Normally, a house here, a courtyard house, costs at least 1,000 taels."
"Today, if the girl decides, I will only give you 900 taels!"
Afraid that Hua Xiaonian wouldn't believe his price, he quickly said, "Girl, if you don't believe the price I gave you..."
"You can also go and inquire now."
“My price is definitely the lowest!”
As soon as he said this, Shao Jingheng came back from outside.
When Hua Xiaonian was looking at the house, Shao Jingheng came in to look at it. He also thought the house was pretty good.
But, who knows what kind of house this is?
What if it’s because of an evil house?
I'm not sure about the price either.
He quietly told Li Hu and asked him to continue to follow Hua Xiaonian to look at the house, while he went out and asked the neighbors.
No one lives on either side of this house.
He went to the other side and asked.
The neighbors opposite are some noble people, and the people who open the door for him are all the servants and maids in the house, which makes it easier to ask questions.
Soon, Shao Jingheng learned the details and price of this house.
The original owner of the house was a bachelor who retired and returned to his hometown. He was picked up by his children and moved elsewhere a few years ago.
The house was sold.
There is no problem with the house.
The house price is around 1,000 taels, which is normal.
But how can you buy a house without negotiating the price?
Shao Jingheng said, "800 taels, if I think it's okay, we'll make a decision. If it's not okay, forget it."
He had just carefully looked at Hua Xiaonian's expression.
This little devil is very satisfied with the house.
That should be no problem.
Of course, after he finished speaking, he also glanced at Hua Xiaonian, and when he saw her eyes shining brightly, he became even more sure of her liking.
The valley is a bit difficult.
The price he gave is already very low, 800 taels is probably not enough.
Shao Jingheng said, "Brother, you can go back and discuss it with your shopkeeper, but there are very few people buying houses here."
"We can afford to wait!"
When he was inquiring about this house just now, Shao Jingheng caught an important point.
Houses here are not easy to sell.
Because the price is much more expensive than other places, and most of the dignitaries are here, whether it's eating or something...
It's expensive by the standards here.
Ordinary people will definitely not choose to buy a house here.
