[066] Chase Bank Note
"You will come to the store to pick it up in seven days. Do you still need knives?" the old man said lightly.
"I'll make a list tomorrow, and you can prepare it for me according to the number on the list. As for the wages you should charge, it's as much as you should."
"You just take two taels of silver, we will give you another knives and chopping board." The old man smiled slightly.
When the shop owner heard this, he hurriedly pulled the old man aside, "Master, we may not be able to make this price at this price. This is a loss-making transaction."
"You and I have been with you for several years, why are you still short-sighted? Do you know how much money the drawing tube in her hand? As long as we have a good relationship with her, we will buy the drawing if we have the chance."
The old man knocked the shop owner's head with his hand.
"Master, girl, husband, come in and have dinner soon." The shop owner said.
"Oh, I haven't eaten the rice used by my apprentice's wife for a long time, but the master thought for a long time." The old man said with a smile.
"Who made the master refuse to come to my house? I thought the master disliked my skills." The shop owner replied.
"Qingmeng, a while ago, Chen's family was recruiting a cook, I asked you to go to the test work. You can't stay at home and surround him. If his bad temper is not satisfactory, he will curse people randomly." The old man said.
Qingmeng smiled, "Master, marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog. Marry him and he will last for the rest of his life. Besides, he will scold me and leave. It's all he will scold me.
Also, the Chen Mansion’s courtyard will be driven away if you are accidentally killed. It’s okay if you are driven away. If you are beaten to death, it would be unfair.”
"Yes, yes, master, don't let Qingmeng go out to work. She stays at home and eats and drinks. Tomorrow, life is going well, and I have to let me give birth to a nest for me." Qingmeng's face turned red when the shop owner said.
"My husband, there are still people at home, don't talk about husband and wife." Qing Meng said shyly.
"Hehe, I forgot that there are still little girls at home. Come, come, come, everyone will try my wife's skills."
The shop owner happily gave the old man to the upper position, and then asked Pei Xianghan to sit on the left, and he himself sat on the right, while the shop owner's wife sat in the lower position.
"Girl, these dishes are all home-cooked side dishes, and I'm making them at will. I hope you don't dislike them." The shop owner smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Pei Xianghan and put it in a bowl.
"Aunt, you are so nice to me. I died when my mother gave birth to me in a few months. No one has been so kind to me since I was a child." Pei Xianghan said with a sob.
"Girl, come to your house when you have time, and your aunt will make delicious food for you." The owner of the shop said with a doting look in his eyes.
"Yes, you come to your house when you have time. Your aunt is always alone at home, and she has no friends here to talk to."
"Aren't you people here?" Pei Xianghan asked strangely.
Qingmeng smiled, "I'm not a local. I'm from Jiangnan, and it's not long before I moved here. The neighbor next door thought we were foreigners and never looked at us right after we started again. I'll hit it off at first sight."
She stopped and said, "Auntie, I'm making the decision today. What you want to buy is free, and I won't charge you for money."
Pei Xianghan was shocked, "Aunt, this is absolutely impossible. Two taels of silver are not a small amount. Besides, this cabinet is difficult to fight."
The old man smiled slightly, "It's rare that Qingmeng is happy today. Little girl, you should do it."
"This is really impossible. If you don't want two taels of silver, then I'll pay one tael of silver. Aunt, you can't refuse.
I also want to ask if there are any empty houses for rent nearby? I want to rent a house." Pei Xianghan asked with a warning heart.
Qingmeng frowned slightly, "Why are you renting a house?"
"My home is at least ten miles away from the town. I can't go back to the village to prepare ingredients every day, so I have to rent a house in the town." Pei Xianghan explained.
When the old man heard this, "I know there is a house nearby for rent, but the rent is not cheap, and it costs hundreds of copper coins a month."
"The silver is not a problem. The key is that the owner is easy to talk to? And how about the house? Can you take me to see the house today? If possible, I will make a reservation."
"So, after dinner, I will ask your aunt to take you over and have a look. The owner is my friend, and he dare not ask for a high price for the people I brought with him."
The old man smiled and picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine.
After dinner, Qingmeng asked the shop owner to pack the dishes and chopsticks at home to the kitchen. She took Pei Xianghan to the place the old man said.
Pei Xianghan looked around and there were people living on both sides of the courtyard, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.
I saw Qingmeng snapping the door knocker on the courtyard door with his hand.
The people in the room came to respond.
"Who?"
Qingmeng replied softly, "Uncle, I am Qingmeng. The master asked me to bring the tenant to see the house."
"Old man Wang, I'm just doing things neatly. I've told him what he has done. I'll take someone to see the house today."
The master smiled and opened the door and greeted Qingmeng and the others.
As soon as Pei Xianghan entered the house, he looked up and down the yard. The yard was not big or small.
She asked directly, "Sir, how many months do you plan to rent this yard?"
"Girl, I see you were introduced by Old Man Wang, so you can give me 800 ciders per month." The old man said with a smile.
"Old sir, isn't eight hundred ounces too little? You have the decoration of this yard in this area."
The old man directly interrupted her, "To be honest, I really don't want to rent out the yard, but my son is doing business in Jiangnan, so he insists on letting me go.
I don’t know when I will come back after leaving. I wanted to sell the yard, but I still couldn’t bear it. After all, I lived there for decades, and I had a relationship with each other."
"Old sir, don't worry, I will rent this yard and I will definitely take good care of it."
"Well, then ask someone to come and write the rental document, and you can move here the day after tomorrow."
"Uncle, this is the rent for one year. There are a total of ten taels of silver."
Pei Xianghan said that, then took a silver note of ten taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
When the old man saw the silver notes of Datong Money House, he was shocked.
"Miss, this silver note?"
"Old sir, this silver bill is not fake. You can exchange land for Datong money houses all over the world. If you buy fake ones, you will get ten points if you buy fake ones."
The old man waved his hand in a hurry and said, "Girl, you misunderstood me, I don't mean that."
But the silver notes of this Datong Money Bank are not something that ordinary people can own. Could it be that you, a girl...?"
"Old sir, I'm not sure about this silver bill. My fiancé gave me. I only know that this silver bill can be exchanged, but I don't know anything else."
