Yan Yu came to Yongning today not only to take Fourth Uncle Qi to see the doctor, but also to take a look at the houses in Yongning City.
Instead of looking for a dental clinic to look at the house, she went to the south of the city.
When she and her father came to Chengnan Huimin Hall before, she had the impression that there were many helpers on the street, and they could do what the locals could do, and they were cheaper than the locals.
The south of the city was still the same as in the memory, and their bullock cart was surrounded as soon as it came over.
The villagers of Xiaoan Village now carry wooden sticks with them when traveling. This habit is inherited from the Yan family, and Yan Yu has always maintained this style, putting at least one stick in the car. Today, Fourth Uncle Qi is also traveling with him, so she temporarily put more sticks.
One stick.
Qi Si thought that these people were too close to the waiter and was worried that they would touch the children, so he knocked the end of the wooden stick on the car, making a clanging warning sound.
"Stay away, stay away!" he shouted harshly.
If someone else were shouting, these helpers would not listen, but when they came to Qi Si, he looked at his size, weighed it up in his mind, and took half a step back in unison.
"Brother, are you selling mountain products in the city?"
"Brother, is this your first time back to Yongning? Are you unfamiliar with the situation and need a guide?"
Qi Si said: "I'm looking for a job. Can any of you help me introduce it?"
As soon as these words came out, several helpers left.
The remaining people all talked about their connections, and they all looked at Qi Si with their eyes shining.
At first glance, he is a hard worker and can work hard. With his body, the custodian will be able to take a liking to him at a glance.
Yan Yu found the one he liked the most, asked someone to get in the car and took him away.
The remaining helpers looked at each other in confusion.
"What kind of method is this? If you can't just find a job, why do you have to find someone to talk to behind your back?"
"You can't look down on country people these days. Look at them, they all come here by driving oxcarts to find a job..."
The helper who got on the bus was also confused, but he was stunned for a moment. He immediately got into the mood and asked Qi Si carefully what he knew, what he had done before, what kind of job he wanted to find, whether it was a short-term or long-term job, and whether he was working with someone.
Or just himself.
Qi Si answered honestly and would not be bothered by these people.
I had worked as a clerk before, and he sounded pretty good, but I didn’t want the shop to be a coffin shop...
I asked him what kind of job he wanted to find. He was honest and said he wanted to earn a lot.
While Bang Xian was thinking about what kind of job would suit him, the bullock cart stopped.
When he looked around, he saw that this area was full of residents, and no one came there during the day.
"Uncle, we actually want your help to find someone." Yan Yu turned around.
Bang Xian looked at the child in surprise.
He had glanced at the child before and thought that the child was quite good-looking. Later, his attention was focused on the man. As for the child being able to drive a car, it was nothing in the countryside. It was not like he had never seen it before.
"Looking for someone?" Bang Xian looked at Qi Si. After confirming that the other party's intention was really like this, he felt so ridiculous.
"Why are you looking for a job instead of looking for someone?" Isn't this a big deal? "Who are you looking for? Let me tell you." Bang Xian still didn't give up on this business and wanted to work harder.
"Uncle, there were too many people just now, so it's hard for us to tell. In fact, we are looking for someone who is familiar on the street and knows where to rent a shop or a house." Yan Yu said.
"Then just say it directly, and then turn around..." The helper came to his senses and looked at the young and old in surprise: "You are afraid that you are trusting someone else, so you came to me first and then asked me to give you something."
Introduce a reliable one..."
Qi Si had been instructed by the waiter before, so he took out the ten copper coins he had prepared and stuffed them into this man's hand.
He smiled naively and said, "You can find a good one."
As soon as he got the coins, the assistant laughed and said, "Okay, you just wait here and I'll call someone over." He weighed the coins in his hand and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely find someone capable for you."
The gang wandered for a while, and when they came back, they led a kind-faced middle-aged man to introduce them to them: "This is the best Hezhong man in the south of our city. If we hadn't been friends, he would have done a small business like yours."
Too lazy to take action..."
Just listen to this, but those who help people find jobs rely on familiarity and are used to dealing with people. Generally speaking, this kind of business has a certain reputation, otherwise the owner will not trust the people he introduces.
This is why Yan Yu chose him to build a bridge.
The people who come through referrals are more reliable than the ones they randomly find on the street.
He Zhongren asked them what kind of house they wanted to rent.
Yan Yu said there was no rush and asked He Zhongren to find a place where they could talk in detail.
He Zhongren changed the subject of communication to Yan Yu naturally and smoothly, without showing any expression.
The three of them went to a small teahouse and sat down. Yan Yu ordered a pot of the cheapest tea in the shop.
"He Zhongren, we actually want to buy, not rent." Yan Yu put down her mind.
He Zhongren had actually been laughing, and only at this moment did he smile sincerely.
He felt that this business might not be simple.
"Well, what do you two want? To buy a shop or a house?"
Yan Yu had some ideas about his first real estate, so he told him everything.
He Zhongren listened patiently and pondered for a moment.
"You two are looking for a shop with a shop in the front and a place for people to live in the back. There is definitely no courtyard in the south of the city. These are all small houses and shops. Those in the east of the city are where nobles live. Even if they change hands, it won't be our turn.
The west of the city is more expensive than the north, but considering all aspects, I still recommend that you two consider the west of the city. There are reasons why it is more expensive. Since you are doing business, the more popular it is, the better.
But you still have to see it in person, maybe there is a place that will appeal to your eyes."
Yan Yu heard him talk about several shops that were about to change hands, weighed the money in his hand, and chose two to visit.
He Zhongren first took them to see a shop in the north of the city. It was a wine shop. The owner was the owner of the wine shop. The shop was not big, but the yard behind was quite big. The whole family lived there, and they mainly did business for the neighbors. They did not make much money to support their family.
It was still enough. It was said that the son of the family had a gambling debt, so he had to sell his shop to fill the hole. After paying off the debt, the rest was enough for the family to return to his hometown.
The price of this shop is two hundred and eighty taels.
He Zhongren quietly told them that the price could still be negotiated. The seller was in a hurry to spend money. It was best to bargain for a shop like this. If the price could be finalized quickly, they should be able to win around 240 taels.
Well, Yan Yu sympathized with them, and she could sympathize with the issue of gambling debts, but looking at the sparse crowd around her, it was obviously not very lively, and it didn't make her have the urge to buy it.
He Zhongren took them to see the shops in the west of the city.
The further he walked, the more familiar he seemed to Yan Yu.
When they arrived at the teahouse called Bamboo Stove, He Zhongren pointed to this place and said.
Yan Yu was stunned.
Isn't this the prince's eldest brother's shop? Is it going to be resold?
She had been to the bamboo stove before, and had seen the shop in front and the yard in the back. The place was really adequate, and it was a small building with two floors. Not to mention, she thought she could buy this place and lean on the second floor window pane, sitting high.
