Chapter 19 High housing prices

Having reached this point, Hu Erniang felt that it was time to tell the truth.

In fact, she has little interest in eating, and she opened the fruit shop just to compete with Sun Xiangu.

But as the years passed, she suddenly realized.

What's the point of competing? It's true to live your own life!

As for Dou Ya and A Ling, it might be a bit pretentious to say they were sisters, but she never thought of lying to them, let alone throwing them away like objects.

"In the past, Yonglang didn't want to move to other places, and his roots were with me. Now, a new member of the imperial family is going to serve in Shuzhong. The opportunity is rare, so I thought of going with him, so that I can be closer to the family."

"What do you plan to do with the shop?" Lu Xiling asked.

"I bought this shop with a loan from the temple. I still owe a lot of money to the temple. If I can sell it, I would like to sell it. In this way, the two of us will have enough money.

Secondly, I can leave some hotel money for you two so that you won’t be bullied when you go out."

By then, with Lu Xiling's ability, many flower cake shops will have to beg her to go there. Who dares to bully her?

On the contrary, Douyao was originally a slave, and he was not smart enough, so he didn't even know how he was sold.

Douya looked at Hu Erniang with watery eyes, and the sophora flower dumplings in her mouth suddenly lost their flavor.

"Er Niang..." Dou Ya murmured.

What does it mean? Is this touching?

Unexpectedly, the stupid maid actually understood the human words. Hu Erniang pretended to be disgusted and said: "Hold back your tears! If you hadn't been able to sell for a few dollars, would I have kept you until now?"

After saying that, he twisted his body and turned to the other side.

Lu Xiling smiled when he saw this and joked: "Second mother is a sweetheart."

"How can I be a temperamental person? I have troubles that I can't tell you!" Hu Erniang sighed: "As long as I can sell this shop early, neither of us will be able to touch it."

"When I saw Yonglang and the superiors getting involved, I planned to sell the shop. But in the first few years, the late emperor was lazy in government and couldn't save even half a penny of the people's troubles. How could they have any spare money? Besides, the location of our shop is also difficult.

It’s not very prosperous, and all it makes is money from tourists, so no one cares about it.”

Every sentence is what the common people are saying!

The only thing Lu Xiling disagrees with is that tourists are also customers, and whether they can be retained depends on management.

Lu Xiling thought about it and asked, "How much does this shop cost at Yaren Shop?"

Even though he knew little about housing prices in this dynasty, Lu Xiling had long heard about the horror of housing prices in ancient times.

Not to mention that ordinary people cannot afford to buy a house, even those who have been officials for decades may not be able to buy a house in full.

Do you want to know more about Ouyang Xiu who opened a floating house?

Looking at the three fingers extended by Hu Erniang, Lu Xiling nodded without changing her expression.

As expected, she couldn't afford it.

However, just because she can't afford it, and even officials can't afford it, doesn't mean that everyone can't afford it.

Lu Xiling came up with a plan and said: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds. It can not only allow Erniang to have money in her hands, but also ensure that Douya and I have a place to go in the future."

"What method?"

Lu Xiling kept the story short and told the two of them about Lanyuan's intention to buy his son.

Hu Erniang was shocked: "How can that be possible! You have sold all your housekeeping skills, how can you still gain a foothold in the future?"

Now, Hu Erniang finally looked like an elder, and said to Lu Xiling earnestly: "Good Ah Ling, I accept your offer, but as we are both strangers, I have to remind you that you are not very experienced in the world, so you don't know.

How difficult is it to take root in the capital!"

"Second mother, don't be in a hurry to refute me. I'm not trying to sell my son."

Hu Erniang was confused and said: "What are you selling?"

After a moment, Hu Erniang's eyes lit up.

Lu Xiling thought that the other party had finally come up with an idea, but unexpectedly he heard someone high-fiving him and saying, "You want to go work in Lanyuan? That's great! Lanyuan is atmospheric and stable, and their shopkeeper cherishes talents. If you go,

They will definitely not treat you badly!"

Where are you?

Lu Xiling's back straightened up again.

The bean sprouts beside him couldn't stand listening any more, so he ate the dumplings and wiped them clean and said: "Er Niang - Ah Ling means to let the shopkeeper of Lanyuan buy our shop!"

"Buying a shop? How to buy it?"

It's nice to spend a small amount of money to buy a house, so why spend a lot of money to buy a shop? It's not like they don't have a private chef in the garden.

Hu Erniang became more and more confused as she talked, and then she looked at the oily bean sprouts in her mouth.

The sun rises in the west today? Why is this man not stupid?

How to sell it is not up to Erniang Hu.

Now that he decided to get together and part ways, Lu Xiling made the decision for others and went to Orchid Garden alone to attend the meeting the next day with souvenirs.

The water in the pond is long and the hall is filled with flowers.

Stepping into the Liyuan, the scenery unique to the south of the Yangtze River lay in front of him. Lu Xiling followed the boy all the way to the meeting hall. Along the way, there were small bridges and flowing water, willows bending down, and flowers blooming in clusters.

Each step leads to a view, and the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums on the window lattice have their own unique charm, making people reluctant to take their eyes away.

The nobles are so elegant.

wrong.

It must be that the owner of Lanyuan has good taste.

Go downstairs to the blue and white two-story flower building.

The boy reported respectfully, and for a moment, he heard the deep voice of the person in the back room replying with the word "Okay", and the leader retreated.

The people inside walked out slowly, and Lu Xiling's eyes were still lingering on the half-acre field where the waterwheel rolled.

The vegetable field is a patchwork, with lettuce, chrysanthemum, and garlic seedlings in regular shapes... There are rows of dark green fat leaves and light purple buds running along the furrows, which look like eggplant seedlings.

This situation is not too close to her dream love room!

"Ahem——"

This was the first time Lu Xiling met the person in charge of Lanyuan.

He was not much different from the Jiangnan gentleman in her imagination who had exquisiteness carved into his bones and blood.

The father-in-law's hair was tied neatly on his head, and even his temples were trimmed deliberately.

Lu Xiling said, "I've met Master Qiu."

Seeing this famous flower cake lady, Mr. Qiu suddenly realized what "a hundred hearings is worse than a sight".

No wonder the old shop owners in the kitchen are so enthusiastic about buying more.

Manager Qiu smiled gently, noticed the girl's gaze just now, and raised his hand to invite the person to the grapevine porch at the edge of the yard.

The shadows of the leaves were mottled. Lu Xiling looked at the spring scenery on the corridor, imagining the wine, grape jam, and raisins in autumn, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What? Is there something wrong with the grape vines in Bishe?"

Hearing that it was a joke, Lu Xiling's nervous mood suddenly lightened up a lot.

I think a father-in-law who has the patience to raise grapes will not be so difficult to get along with.

Lu Xiling smiled.

"No, the grapes raised by the shopkeeper are not bad, but they are very good. The little girl who saw them was very envious and admired them."

Having said this, the two began to discuss grape cultivation techniques.

Lu Xiling pursed his lips and said: "I would say that among fruits and vegetables, grapes are the most difficult to maintain. There is no delay in the four seasons of the year. They need to be buried in cellars in winter, and in pine cellars at the beginning of spring. They are put on the shelves in March, watered in April, and shot in May.

"Pruning in June, fertilizing in July, coloring in August, resting in September and October, and waiting to be put into the cellar again in December, it's really troublesome."

Chief Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of surprise and pride.

Lu Xiling was determined to stick to his sweet words and added: "In ancient times, Tao Gong planted chrysanthemums, and the world regarded him as a "flower madman". Master Qiu now raises grapes so well. If you ask me, he must be a "fruit madman"

, "Farmer Idiots" also make."

It's just a rack of grapes. How could I be as powerful as she said?

I'm afraid it's only true if the words are 30% polite and 70% flattery.

But Mr. Qiu was still willing to give Lu Xiling a good look, not because the little girl was pleasing to the eye and articulate, but because she was very knowledgeable about farmland fruits and melons!

"Growing vegetables should be done according to the time, the place, and the people. In the owner's garden, the people and the time are right, but the location is wrong."

"The area south of the Yangtze River is dominated by red soil, which is not fertile enough. Otherwise, with my ability, the harvest could be twice as much as it is now!"

Chief Qiu took another look at Lu Xiling.

Living to this age, there are many people who flatter him, but not many who flatter him deeply!

Lu Xiling's eyes were full of cunning.

Where is this?

She can praise her again and again!

Thanks for the recommendation vote——
