Chapter 230 Buying 3 shabby yards
After hearing Yuan Chuyi's suggestion, Yun Duo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Thank you, madam, for your advice!"
"Sister Chu Yi, I don't know what my shop sells!"
"Me too!"
Zhang Xiujuan and the others are also very troubled. They are not familiar with the city and the place, let alone what they want to do to make a living.
"Mei Juan's two shops, one can open a small restaurant, the other is close to the civilian neighborhood, where civilians come and go, and can sell cloth, clothes, jewelry and other items at a slightly lower price... The Shiyu shop can sell preserved fruits. Candied fruit…”
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, they all made suggestions for their shops. Zhang Xiujuan and the others immediately felt confident, and they all went out to work on their own shops the next day. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he also went to the palace to teach the queen as promised. Because it was the first day, the first day of the Yuan Dynasty saw the Queen practice breathing and a few most basic movements. She practiced for more than half an hour before leaving the palace and going home.
Seeing that it was still early, Yuan Chuyi was not in a hurry to go home and took Xuan Yue, Yun Xuan and Jiang Xue to go shopping.
"Madam, where do you want to go shopping today?"
"Wandering around, I want to find a quiet little yard. I want to buy or rent it and build a women's fitness club."
Jiang Xue could only take her around.
The streets are full of traffic and pedestrians. Xuan Yue was afraid that someone would bump into Yuan Chu Yi, so she followed her closely. Several students carrying books on their backs walked past them.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I heard a student complain: "This capital is really a gold-selling cave. The charges for a small inn are so expensive. It costs 200 coins a night. Even if the two of us share a room, each of us will have to pay 100 coins a day." , plus food and drink, I will spend at least several hundred pennies a day. There is still more than a month before the exam. If this continues, before the exam starts, all my money will be spent on food and accommodation. , how can I still have money to pay a visit to the gentlemen!"
"Alas! This capital is really not a place for poor students like us!"
"I hope I can get on the list this year. If we take the exam again next year, our family will really have nothing to do!"
"Let's go, look for a cheaper inn somewhere, and check in quickly, otherwise you will have to sleep on the street at night!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he couldn't help but look at the backs of the students, thoughtfully.
"Madam, what's wrong? Do you know those students?" Jiang Xue asked.
Yuan Chuyi shook his head, "Let's go to Yaxing to see what private houses are for sale!"
"Okay!" Jiang Xue said hurriedly.
When I arrived at Yahang, I saw a lot of houses for sale on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. There were three courtyards near Gongyuan. The price was not very expensive, only three hundred taels. She immediately asked the dentist to take her to see the yard.
When I looked at the courtyard, I saw that it was actually three small courtyards with two entrances connected together. It was only more than two miles away from the Gongyuan. However, the courtyard was in a mess, as if it had been burned by fire.
"This courtyard..." Yuan Chuyi looked at the people in Yaxing in surprise.
The man from Yahang smiled sheepishly, "If this yard hadn't been burned by fire, the price wouldn't be so low!"
"Did anyone burn to death?"
The people in the tooth shop waved their hands in confusion, "No, no, I just burned five people!"
"Then why is this courtyard for sale?" The location of this courtyard is quite good, and Xiuxiu can still be occupied.
"To be honest, because the fire burned someone, the owner didn't have the money to pay for the medical expenses, so he had to sell it at a low price!" Yaren said, "To be honest, this yard was only given to us yesterday. You are here today." It's just a coincidence, if it were any later, I'm afraid it would be bought by someone else!"
Yuan Chu smiled, there must be another reason why the yard was sold so cheaply.
"Are there any property rights or creditor's rights disputes in these three yards?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Yaren was busy guaranteeing the votes.
"Is it really just to compensate for the medical expenses that the price is so low? At least three months have passed since the fire broke out, and now you are rushing to sell to compensate for the medical expenses?" Yuan Chuyi looked at Yaren.
"Madam, in fact, it's because this place is far away from the busy city, there are fewer people coming and going, and the land price is cheap." Jiang Xue, like a know-it-all, immediately told the whole story.
Yuan Chuyi looked at Yaren, "That's it, one price, three courtyards, five hundred taels. If you are willing, I will buy this courtyard!"
"Here, madam, your price is too little!" Ya Ren looked depressed.
"Then you want to keep it in your hand and want to smash it in your hand?"
"This……"
"Boss, look, I bought this yard and it needs to be repaired before I can move in. It will cost a lot of money. Besides, five hundred taels of silver can buy a small house with three rooms in the downtown area. If I can move in directly, I want to spend 500 taels to buy this yard. In addition to being spacious enough, I also like the quietness here." Yuan Chuyi said, "You tell me, I will sell it for 500 taels or not!"
"Alas!" The owner of the tooth shop sighed and thought for a long time, "Sell, deal!" He originally spent 500 taels to acquire the yard, but now that he has paid 500 taels, he has not got a single penny! But when I think about these three yards that no one cares about and someone is buying them at a fair price, I might as well sell them.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, Jiang Xue immediately asked Jiang Xue to bring the banknotes and follow the boss to the Yamen to handle the transfer. Without much effort, these three courtyards became the first day of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Madam, why do we buy this shabby yard?"
Back home, Jiang Xue handed the house deed to Yuan Chuyi and asked in confusion.
Yuanchu pointed at the drawing she had just drawn, "You will go find people and buy materials right away, and renovate the three courtyards according to my drawing immediately. It must be done quickly, it will be repaired within ten days!"
Jiang Xue took the drawings and looked at them, and found that all three courtyards had been transformed into single rooms. Each courtyard had become a large house with fifteen rooms, three huts, and a kitchen. He was even more puzzled. .
"Madam, after such a change, this courtyard will no longer be a courtyard, but will become a courtyard. It won't be easy for people to live in this way!"
"It's okay, just let them do it like this. We are not selling it or renting it to a family. I will rent it to students who are coming to Beijing to take the exam!"
"Rent to students?" Jiang Xue scratched her head, "Don't they all live in inns?"
Yuanchu smiled, "So in addition to decorating the house, you also have to find a way for them to live in our rental house."
"..." Jiang Xue scratched her head, "Who would want to live in such a remote yard!"
"Okay, go and repair the house first, and I'll figure out the other things." Yuan Chuyi smiled and pushed him out to do errands. Ordinary people may think that Southeast Street is deserted, but she feels that it is an excellent place for students to live. It is quiet there, and students who study hard can study their homework in peace when they stay here, and it is not far from Gongyuan. Far away, it is very convenient to study for the exam. That was equivalent to a modern school district room.
Jiang Xue didn't understand the business secrets, so she had to go to the housekeeper and ask him to help find people and buy materials, and started repairing the three courtyards that day.
The yard was being repaired over there, and Yuan Chuyi was not idle here either. After resting, he looked at the two children, played with them for a while, and then went out to the Yuan family. This side of the yard was left to Li Qiaozhen and Shi Shi to learn and take charge. She didn't have to come here every day, but Shiliu and Shi Shi had to go to her every night to review the day's lessons with her, and they never missed a day.
On the first day of Yuan Chu, she brought people to the door of Yuan's house. She saw a few people sneaking around and spying on Yuan's family. This made her feel an ominous feeling in her heart. He immediately asked Xuan Yue to go check.
