Red apricots make spring

Chapter 69
Since you plan to set up a small stall in the West Market, it is most convenient and convenient to go there to find a house, but Ruan Wen never thought that Taihe City is so big, it took more than an hour to walk from the East Market to the west, and almost I didn't break my legs, and I was so tired that I regretted that I didn't let the coachman take them here directly.

"This city...is really big..." Ms. Wen walked to the end, and she needed someone to help her to barely move, and said bitterly: "How wonderful is Yuanchang City! Not far from the door is the market, and you can go around the whole city The city can't spend so much time!"

Gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, didn't say anything, just focused on seeing if there was a red note with the words "rental" on the door of the house along the way.But the house is not something that can be found just by looking. After walking for a while, seeing that Mama Wen could not hold on any longer, she could only sigh, looked around, and led Mama Wen to a small tea and fruit stall, and asked Xiaohuan and Wen Gang accompanied her to sit here to drink tea and rest, while Ye Yu and himself, who could read, split up to look for it, and agreed to meet at this place later.

Although looking for a house is hard, Ruan Ruan found that the population of this city is indeed several times larger than that of Yuanchang. She earns more money, and the accent of the passers-by here sounds a bit like a southern accent, so she, the time traveler, and Xiaohuan, the escaped slave, should be safer living here. This is what she always thought of in Kyoto. The most important reason.

While looking for a house, Wenrou also carefully checked the various food stalls on the road. First, he could get acquainted with the tastes of the people in Kyoto.People always like to try new things. Although selling some snacks that are not available here will take some risks, it is better than competing with others for business.

After wandering around for another hour, seeing that the sun was almost westward, and her stomach was growling with hunger, she found a rented house at the end of the street, and stayed with her temporarily in Yuanchang City. The place to live is the same, with a small courtyard, divided into upper and lower floors, but there are two more rooms, anyway, now that Ye Yu is added to live, it is just right, but I asked the price, and I know the monthly rent of this room After asking for one, two or three coins, she hesitated again.

Really too expensive!One tael of silver can be exchanged for [-] copper coins here, and one tael or three silver coins is basically equivalent to two pennies, which is four times more expensive than the house she rented in Yuanchang City!Ruan didn't dare to pay for the reservation at the time, and planned to go back to discuss with her family, and then see if Ye Yu found a cheaper house.

"What! One, two or three coins!" Mother Wen really jumped up after hearing her words. You must know that she, a poor woman, had hardly seen any silver before the gentle time travel. Psychologically, I still can't accept such a sky-high rent.After she was surprised, she continued nagging, and said with a bitter face: "My son, we should go back to Yuanchang. How can this place be treated by people? Just now the three of us only had three bowls of tea and paid nine Wen. If this were in Yuanchang, a bowl of tea and a penny would be enough!"

Huh?Three Wen for a bowl of tea?After listening to her words, Rou Rou was not surprised but delighted, since ancient times the price of goods in the capital city was high, she naturally knew about it, isn't there a saying that "living in Chang'an is not easy"?But the higher the consumption, the more money she earns. Anyway, she doesn't want to live a luxurious life. As long as the income is slightly greater than the expenditure, and she can save some money, she can buy a house by herself in a few years, and she will be satisfied.

"Ye Yu, have you found any suitable room?" Rourou turned to him and asked.

"I did find one. It's not far from this alley, but it's a little smaller than the place you were looking for. There is only one bright hall and three inner rooms, with a small courtyard and kitchen. The rent is not cheap. , one tael of silver a month."

Three chambers?In fact, it is enough, Ye Yu can live in a room with Wen Gang, she and Xiaohuan can live in a room, and let Wen's mother live in a room alone.It's a little bit less expensive, Wen Rou immediately said: "Take us to have a look."

The house Ye Yu mentioned was also rented out with furniture, and they only needed to buy some pots and pans. After seeing the house, Ruan Ruan felt quite satisfied, and asked Xiaohuan and Wen Gang for their opinions. I plan to rent it out.

Mother Wen was sulking by the side. She didn't know whether she was angry with her daughter on purpose or not. She had asked everyone's opinions, but she was the only one left out!If you ask her, there is nothing good about this house. The yard is bare, there is not even a vine, and the light in the room is not enough. If Wen Gang studies in the future, won't it hurt his eyes?But she knew that if Ruan made up her mind, it would be useless for her to say anything, so she could only keep her mouth shut in silence, but she had already picked a south-facing room with the best light for Wen Gang in her heart.

After paying the deposit and explaining that the rent was paid at the end of each month, Rourou's family finally found a place to stay in Taihe City, but now is not the time to take a breather and rest, she asked Mother Wen to take Xiaohuan to tidy up the house After they came out, they took Ye Yu and Wen Gang to the street to do some shopping, and when they came back with all the big and small bags, they had spent only seven taels of money on them.

"Tonight, let's eat some biscuits to satisfy our hunger!" It was too late, Rou Rou didn't have the energy to cook, so when I was shopping, I brought a pack of biscuits and cut some sauced meat back. Drink some plain water and deal with it as a meal.

During the meal, she discussed with everyone about doing business, and Xiaohuan suggested first: "Let's sell fried stinky tofu, I'm already very good at that!"

"It's not good, it's been sold for too long in Yuanchang, and it's already 'notorious' far and wide. I don't want anyone here to recognize us." Gentle shook her head.

"Why don't you sell the seven-star fish balls you once made for the third girl?" Xiaohuan thought for a while and said, "That apricot honey cake is also delicious."

"It's too troublesome." Ruan still shook her head. She had thought about opening a Western-style pastry shop here, but the current funds are insufficient, so it's better to give up this idea.

"Sister, let me sell you the barbecued pork that I have eaten!" Wen just said, and couldn't help licking his lips. Alas, his mouth was eaten by his sister. If he had sesame seed cakes before, it would be like I’m as happy as the holidays, but now I’m chewing the biscuits, but I feel dry and hard, I have no appetite, and the sauce meat is not good, it’s so salty!

"The cost of selling barbecued pork is too high, right? If the business is not good and cannot be sold, it will be miserable." Rourou thought for a while, and continued to shake her head.

At this time, Ye Yu, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Let's sell duck blood vermicelli soup."

Duck blood vermicelli soup was made for Ye Yu to nourish his blood after watching Ye Yu lose too much blood that day. In fact, there is no chili here, and the taste will be worse than the authentic way, but the cost is lower than making barbecued pork. You can try it!She thought about it for a while, then nodded silently.
