After reaching this point, Li Mo became more and more satisfied.
Although it is very dilapidated along the way, this place and this scene really have the feeling of a hidden family described in martial arts novels on earth.
"Mr. Sir, please come first!"
Su Jing, who had not spoken for a long time, seemed to be thinking of all the past events, and his expression was filled with a bit of fear, as he did not dare to walk at the front again.
"Um!"
Li Mo nodded and stepped forward.
There were not many stone steps, only a few hundred, and soon the gate of the manor appeared in front of everyone.
The gate of the mansion is very large, and the tall courtyard walls on both sides extend endlessly into the bushes. In the center of the gate hangs a plaque with the word Su Fu written on it. Unfortunately, the plaque is hung diagonally and is covered with cobwebs.
The door knocker was also rusty and extremely broken.
"Mr. Lang... would you like to go in and take a look or..."
At this point, Liu Ping stopped, turned around and said to Li Mo.
"Okay, everyone, take a rest here for a while, then go back and have a look inside!"
Hearing this, Li Mo couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
It seems that these bosses are so frightened by the haunted things that they dare not enter in broad daylight. But it’s okay, I can go in and take a closer look.
Not to mention that there are no ghosts in the world, even if there is broad daylight, they will not come out.
"Please, sir!"
Hearing this, Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was really worried about Li Mo inviting him into this haunted manor.
Creak!
After nodding, Li Mo no longer hesitated, opened the door and entered the manor.
...
"Man, this Li Langjun is really brave."
When Li Mo entered, Su Jing couldn't help but look back and whispered.
"This Li Langjun is a scholar, and he is upright. He should not be afraid of those evil things."
Liu Ping touched his beard and whispered.
Anyway, he didn't dare to enter this house, not even in broad daylight.
"Brother, do you think Mr. Li is interested in this house? I've brought the title deed!"
Su Jing let out a long sigh.
If he had the chance again, he would never spend a lot of money to buy this mansion. The decline of his family started with the purchase of this mansion.
"It's hard to say! We still have to wait for Li Langjun to come out... But there is one thing to say. If Li Langjun can like your house, there is no need to worry too much about the number of one hundred taels."
Liu Ping turned around and said.
"Hey, to be honest, brother, as long as this house can sell it, let alone a hundred taels, it can be dozens of taels. Having money is better than throwing it away."
Su Jing smiled bitterly.
It is said that Li Mo is the only person who is interested in this house in the past three years. It really doesn't matter whether he has money or not. Not long ago, he also found a fortune teller.
The husband said that this house was a hindrance to him and that if he continued to keep it in his hands, it would be difficult for his business to improve in the future.
Therefore, I have to sell this house today no matter what.
"That's good!"
........
Let alone Liu Ping outside the manor, how did Su Jing plan to talk about Li Mo? After entering the manor and seeing the situation inside the manor, he couldn't help but sigh again.
There are attic seats in the manor, connected by corridors, with clearly defined primary and secondary lobbies. There are main courtyards and side courtyards inside. There are also mountain springs that fall into the courtyard from the mountain stream, forming a small lake in the mansion and then flowing into the dense forest from a side wall.
The small river outside is simply not too beautiful.
It is roughly estimated that this house covers an area of 1,000 acres, and it was indeed purchased with ten thousand taels of silver.
Unfortunately, the manor has lost its former glory.
Because no one is taking care of it, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and many empty wing rooms have collapsed. In addition, there are unknown birds flapping their wings from time to time in the courtyard. It really feels like a back-breaking feeling when a person walks in it.
A chilling feeling.
"If you can buy it for a hundred taels of silver and then repair it after it's finished, it's definitely worth it."
As he walked, Li Mo was thinking about it.
He feels that this place is very suitable for him. After leaving, he will find a way to get this place even if the price is higher.
"Wait, this is..."
After walking around the main courtyard, he passed by a garden. Just when Li Mo was about to walk to the backyard for a walk, he glanced at the weeds from the corner of his eye and suddenly froze, unable to move any further.
Come back to your senses,
Li Mo took three steps and then two and hurriedly came to the corner and squatted down.
Although it was the end of March and spring had returned to the earth, many of the weeds in the courtyard were still withering away. Only a large two-foot-tall grass at the base of the wall was covered with bright red and shriveled fruits.
"This...this...chili pepper! Really hot pepper!"
Looking at those red shriveled fruits, Li Mo could no longer remain calm.
People in the Tang Dynasty may not know this kind of thing, but how could he not know it? Isn't this the most common chili pepper on the earth? Although it doesn't look like green pepper, as long as they are made into powder, it is chili powder.
What's more important is that these dried peppers also contain pepper seeds, so you can harvest large green peppers soon after planting.
I picked one off and chewed it in my mouth. A familiar taste hit my taste buds. It was super authentic.
"But why did Chili appear here?"
He stood up and looked at the large red peppers surrounding the wall. Although he was excited, Li Mo also had some doubts in his heart.
Look carefully,
There are far more than just this place, there are many scattered along the wall.
"Could it be..."
For a moment, Li Mo suddenly thought and had an answer.
If you remember correctly, Liu Ping once said that Su Jing bought this manor from Fanbang missionaries, so those missionaries must have brought the chili pepper. But why the chili pepper failed to spread later is unknown.
"Never mind! I've bought this house! Just make these chili peppers without talking about the house, they're worth a hundred taels of silver!"
After thinking about it, Li Mo no longer hesitated and turned around and walked towards the door of the mansion.
Today is really worth it. If you have chili peppers, you can make hot pot. When the time comes... Yibo Building's business will be able to go to the next level. It's not too late to buy the place behind the mansion and check it out.
Anyway, it's all yours and won't run away.
Not long after, Li Mo left the house.
"What do you think, Mr. Lang?"
Seeing Li Mo, Liu Ping and Su Jing hurriedly came over to greet him, their faces full of anticipation.
"Not bad, just..."
Although Li Mo was extremely satisfied in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. Both of them were extremely shrewd businessmen, and they might even increase the price temporarily if they were in a hurry.
However, what Li Mo didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ping said:
"Okay...as long as Mr. Lang is satisfied. I have just discussed it with Boss Su. Let alone a hundred taels, only eighty taels will be enough. This is the land deed..."
After that, he handed over a deed stamped with the seal of Dongdu Prefecture.
"Eighty taels?"
Li Mo was stunned.
This didn't bother him... I originally wanted to negotiate the price.
However, Li Mo's hesitation made Su Jing panic, and he said again,
"If Mr. Lang is not satisfied...actually it can be less."
