"Sister, we have to pick up this kind of good thing where money falls from the sky. If we sell it, we will get more than two thousand taels of silver!"
Qin Lingjun glanced at the crowd, frowned and said, "It looks a little suspicious to me. Could it be that someone is setting up a trap?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "I have already asked clearly. This restaurant is indeed worth six thousand taels of silver. It cannot be fake. Besides, when you buy it, you can see the property deed and the previous sale price on it. What are you afraid of?"
Qin Lingjun said: "But we don't have so much money, so we can't go back to the village to get it, right?"
"That's too slow. Didn't you see that someone has already gone to sell rice? I think we can sell Oriole Garden and then buy the restaurant, and we will never lose money!"
Qin Lingjun hesitated and said: "I still think it's too coincidental and something is wrong."
"Oh, my good sister, you are too cautious! Just listen to me on this matter, I'm going, you help me keep an eye on the fat man!"
After Qin Lingsi finished speaking, she got on her horse with the house deed and ran towards the Oriole Garden. In less than an hour, she had been going back and forth, and she had an extra baggage on her body.
While she was leaving, Qin Lingjun looked at the fat man carefully and found nothing suspicious, so she did not stop her sister and came to the fat man with her.
"Hey, we bought your restaurant for three thousand taels of silver, right?" Qin Lingsi smiled.
"That's right! Bought for six thousand taels of silver, sold at half price, paid with one hand, and signed the contract with the other!" The fat man seemed very anxious, speaking very quickly, looking towards the street from time to time, as if he was afraid that someone would come to catch him.
"Bring me the house deed and let me take a look!" Qin Lingjun said suddenly.
The fat man took out a house deed from his arms. Qin Lingjun looked at it carefully and saw that the fat man had indeed bought it from someone else for six thousand taels. He nodded to his sister.
Qin Lingsi took off the package from behind, took out a gold ingot, and then handed the package to the fat man.
"There are six fifty-tael gold ingots inside. Take a closer look."
The fat man weighed each gold ingot, took another bite, and said happily: "You two girls are really happy. In this case, this restaurant is yours! I will give you the house deed directly, or should we go to the government to make a new red deed?"
?"
There are two types of real estate deeds, one is the red deed with the official red seal and has been registered with the government, and the other is the white deed without the red seal.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when officials and subordinates were registering real estate transactions, they loved to extort property, so people were reluctant to go to the government to register. What the fat man had was a white deed.
Qin Ling thought: "No need to bother."
The fat man hurriedly said: "Then you keep the house deed and keys. We are done with the business. Let's say goodbye." He took the money and left in a hurry.
The Qin sisters knew that he was in a hurry to escape, so they didn't care. They entered the restaurant together. It was empty, and the chairs were all upside down on the table.
The two carefully checked the third floor and the backyard of the restaurant. There was no problem with the furnishings in the building and the cleaning was very clean. Then they locked the door and returned to Qianhu House.
When passing the north gate, Qin Lingsi suddenly raised her head: "Sister, look, aren't those the military advisor and Shen Qianqian?"
Qin Lingjun looked up and saw Zhang Yangquan and Shen Qianqian talking and laughing on the city wall. She suddenly felt tight in her heart and walked towards the corridor of the city wall.
Wang Da saw the two girls from afar and trotted over to say hello. Suddenly he saw the head of Dazhai with a serious face. He trembled all over and swallowed back what he said.
The two girls threw the reins to him and went straight up the city wall.
As soon as they reached the city wall, they heard Zhang Yangquan shout loudly: "Thank you for your praise, Miss Qianqian. The reason why our village soldiers are well-trained is all due to the master of Dazhai's skill in training troops. If you want to admire us, you should admire our master of Dazhai!"
Qin Lingjun's face immediately relaxed after hearing this.
Qin Lingsi kept observing her sister's expression and secretly found it interesting. She stepped forward and said hello: "Hey! Military advisor, Sister Shen, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Yangquan turned around and said with a smile: "The two village leaders are here. We didn't say anything, but Miss Qianqian praised our soldiers for our good training and mistakenly thought it was my contribution."
Shen Qianqian was secretly amused.
She was clearly discussing with Zhang Yangquan just now the Shen family's property purchase in the north of the city, and she hoped that Zhang Yangquan would pay more attention to it.
Unexpectedly, this guy suddenly said something like this. He obviously saw the Qin sisters coming over and was deliberately trying to flatter him.
She didn't expose it and said with a smile: "Yes, I really admire Sister Qin."
Qin Lingjun said softly: "Miss Shen, thank you very much. I would like to thank you for your help in planning this time so that my sisters can set foot on the streets of Jiangdu City again!"
Shen Qianqian smiled and said: "It was mainly the Bian family who contributed, how dare Qianqian take the credit?"
Qin Lingsi said hurriedly: "Stop being polite, military advisor, we have made a lot of money this time!"
Zhang Yangquan wondered: "How did you make so much money?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "Didn't I go shopping with my sister this morning? When I passed a restaurant, I found that the boss was selling the restaurant at half price!"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Half price?"
Qin Ling said happily: "Yes, yes! Of course we couldn't let this opportunity pass by, so we went up and asked, how much do you think he sold it for?"
"How much?"
"The boss bought it for 6,000 taels of silver, but now it's only sold for 3,000 taels of silver!" Qin Lingsi held out three fingers.
Zhang Yangquan couldn't help but think of clothes in shopping malls in later generations that were listed at one or two thousand but sold for three or four hundred. He frowned and said, "How are you sure he bought it for six thousand taels of silver?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "There were many people watching, and we asked them one by one. They all said that the boss bought the restaurant for 6,000 taels, and it was written on the house deed!"
Zhang Yangquan asked: "What happened next?"
"One of them planned to buy it and said he needed to sell rice to raise money. We thought we could make a lot of money by selling it, so after discussing it, we decided to buy it!"
"How can you have so much money?"
"We sold Oriole Garden!" Qin Lingjun said with joy, "And we were very lucky, we sold it at a good price!"
Zhang Yangquan said blankly: "Did you sell Oriole Garden?"
Qin Lingjun said hurriedly: "Military advisor, we are not acting on a whim. Instead, we feel that Oriole Garden is located in the west of the city and belongs to Zhang Mingjian's sphere of influence. We were going to discuss selling Oriole Garden with you today!"
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "There is really no problem in selling it, but where did you find the buyer and how did you sell it so quickly?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "You don't know, not long after we escaped from Oriole Garden, the Tatar prince sold Oriole Garden to a wealthy family. When we went there, that family was living there."
Zhang Yangquan said: "So you proposed to sell Oriole Garden and they agreed?"
"They wanted to buy it. They said they liked the house and were willing to pay 500 taels higher than the market price. They sold it for a total of 3,500 taels!"
"How do you know the market price is three thousand taels?"
Qin Ling thought: "It is written on the Oriole Garden house deed that the last seller sold it for three thousand taels."
Zhang Yangquan frowned and said nothing.
The property deed in Oriole Garden is also white, with only the name of the seller and no name of the buyer.
In other words, the above transaction price is the price when the house was first changed hands and the deed was signed. Later, it may have been changed hands many times, and the market price is different from the house deed.
The other party immediately said that the market price was three thousand taels, which was exactly the same as the one on the house deed, which made people suspicious.
