A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 190 Purchasing a Property in the City

By the way, where does Mr. Xiao live now? We will send you a letter when the time comes."

"Miss Zhang, you don't need to say thank you, but if you're moving to a new house, then I should go and congratulate you. I live in the Xiao residence in Yunfeng Lane, and you can just send a letter there when the time comes."

"Okay, then we won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Mr. Xiao." After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Xiao Qi.

Zhang Xingyun and others stood up right after Zhang Yunyue and clasped their fists to express their gratitude.

"Okay, Miss Zhang, take care. I wish you success in finding the shop and the house in advance."

After leaving Tianxianglou, the few of them decided not to go to the dentistry in the south city, but to go to the dentistry in the north city. After all, the dentistry introduced by someone they knew was more reliable.

After thinking it through.

By asking passers-by, they found Taohua Lane in the north city. Not long after they walked into the lane, they saw a plaque with the word "dental shop" written on it.

So Zhang Yunyue walked in first.

The shopkeeper saw six or seven people coming in, so he stepped forward and said, "Dear guests, please take a seat here."

After saying that, he led a few people to sit in the lobby nearby.

The shopkeeper called the waiter to serve tea to the people, then asked:

"I wonder if you are here to buy a house, servants, or land. We can do our best to meet your needs."

Zhang Yunyue: "I want to buy a few shops, and if I find a suitable one, I will also buy a house."

The pawnbroker's shop owner was immediately delighted and said with a smile, "I see. I wonder what your requirements are for a shop or a house. We will do our best to find the most satisfactory shop and house for you. Please wait for a moment, my dear guests. I will call the pawnbroker in charge."

"Okay, trouble."

The shopkeeper waved his hand quickly: "It's no trouble, no trouble, please wait a moment."

A moment later, the pawnbroker's shop owner brought in a friendly-looking pawnbroker.

"Dear guests, this broker is in charge of house sales in our store. No one has ever asked him about any of the houses he has sold. Please feel free to tell him what you want."

The reason why the pawnbroker's owner called this pawnbroker over was that he thought it would be best if the several shops and houses mentioned by Zhang Yunyue could be sold through the pawnbroker's office, so that the pawnbroker could also earn a lot of intermediary fees.

This big order that we finally got must not be ruined by an ordinary broker.

"My surname is Qin, you can call me Qin Yaren. Dear guests, please tell me your requirements and I will recommend a house to you according to your requirements.

If you think it’s good, I can take you to see it in person.”

Qin Yaren said in a friendly tone.

Zhang Yunyue then told the Qinya people about his request.

Qin Yaren took out the booklet he carried with him and began to flip through it.

After a while.

“Dear guests, I have taken a look here. According to your requirements, there are shops on North Street, South Street and the city center.

There were two three-story restaurants on South Street near the city center. Because the owner was planning to sell them, many people could not afford to buy them at the moment.

So it is still idle at the moment, and there is also a two-story restaurant.

There are also two two-story restaurants on North Street, two of which are larger and one is smaller, and there is also a three-story restaurant, which is larger.

Because they are all restaurants, there are kitchens and wells. If you are interested, I can take you there to have a look.

As for what you said about wanting to buy a house, I have houses for sale in both the North City and the South City. According to your requirements, the house cannot be too small.

There is a house with two courtyards and one with three courtyards in the north city, while there are two houses with three courtyards and one house with two courtyards in the south city. Moreover, the furniture in the houses is still very new, and you can move in as long as you clean them.

Please think about it. Once you have thought it over, I can take you all to see it together."

"Okay, then please let Qin Ya show us around."

Under the guidance of Qin Yaren, Zhang Yunyue and his companions spent most of the day visiting all the shops and houses recommended by Qin Yaren.

Finally after everyone’s discussion.

I chose a two-story restaurant on North Street, close to the city center, and spent two thousand seven hundred taels.

There were two three-story restaurants on South Street near the city center, which were about one or two hundred meters apart. The total cost was seven thousand taels.

He also chose a three-courtyard house in Yunyue Lane in the south city. The house had been well preserved by the previous owner. The tables, chairs and benches inside were all made of the finest huanghuali wood. There were also many flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. This house cost four thousand five hundred taels.

It took two days to look at the shops, houses and process the land deeds.

Zhang Yunyue was thinking about the renovation of three shops that needed to be completed, the purchase of a house, and the preparation to hire a few more servants.

In this way, after a busy day outside, everyone can have hot meals when they come back, and the house will be clean.

Otherwise, I would do it by myself and it would be quite troublesome to cook for so many people every day.

We also need to hire a chef, and send him back to the county town to learn how to cook for a while, or transfer a chef from the county town. Once everyone has learned how to cook, he can come back and open the restaurant.

So he bought a house from a pawnshop. It just so happened that the man in that family used to be a manager in an official's family, his wife was a kitchen manager, and they had three sons and two daughters.

It can solve the hygiene and kitchen issues at home at the same time.

Fifteen men and two women were bought, a total of twelve chefs. Three of them were men who had been managers, and Zhang Yunyue planned to arrange them to be managers in three stores.

Zhang Yunyue temporarily placed all the buyers in Yunyue Lane, and then asked everyone to clean the place inside and out.

Fortunately, there were many people and the house was cleaned in half a day.

"Big brother, second brother, now that the house has been cleaned, we will move in today. In addition to buying some clothes for everyone, we also need to prepare bedding and pillows for everyone, as well as the things needed in the kitchen.

If it weren't for the dental shop introduced by Master Xiao, we might not have been able to find such a suitable shop and house."

"Yes, I know. Let's go back to the inn and pack our things. When the house is ready, I will invite Mr. Xiao to be our guest."

Zhang Yunyue and his seven companions checked out of the Yuelai Inn and drove the carriage back to Zhang's residence in Yunyue Lane with their luggage.

When the house was bought, Li Da was asked to find a carpenter to make a plaque with the words "Zhang's House" engraved on it overnight.

As soon as he got the title deed, Zhang Yunyue asked Li Da and Zhang Xingyun to hang up the plaque and set off firecrackers, as if he had moved into a new home.

All the servants were placed in the back house at the entrance of the courtyard.
