Lin Caogen said, "It seems that this Eastern Immortal Saint is also an ambitious person! If the world is unified and the country is virtuous, then the people will be blessed; if the country is not virtuous, then all people will suffer! Forget it! Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's go check out the houses in Haojing City! After all, we need a place to sleep tonight!"
Mu Wanqing said, "Can't one sleep in the immortal abode?"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Although the Immortal Abode is incredibly convenient, the facilities inside are quite basic, especially the lack of water supply, drainage, beds, and bathing facilities! This afternoon, let's buy a fully furnished house, preferably one that we can move into immediately!"
After finishing their hot pot meal, Lin Caogen drank two bottles of sake and then took his family to the Bund pedestrian street to look for a second-hand real estate agency!
The Bund pedestrian street is filled with a dazzling array of goods, and about a million people shop and spend money here. The bustling atmosphere is comparable to ants on a hot plate!
After walking a few steps, Lin Caogen and his group saw a real estate agency called "Ande Guangsha Qianwanjian" (meaning "Ten Million Houses of An De Guangsha").
Before they even entered, a female saleswoman who looked like a car model took a few steps forward and asked, "Are you and your wives here to look at the property?"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "That's right! It needs to be well-furnished, a detached house, of medium size, quiet yet not far from a bustling area."
The salesperson hurriedly replied, "Yes! There's just one such courtyard house in the Tanghe Yipin residential area! Shall I take you to see it?"
Lin Caogen said, "Okay! Let's go check out the soup and Yipin you mentioned!"
The saleswoman was incredibly excited! She felt like she'd met a wealthy man today! After all, the three women beside her were all stunningly beautiful, and although one of them was veiled, her figure alone suggested she was a beauty among beauties. How could someone with three such women by their side not be wealthy?
In recent years, the population loss rate in Gaojing City has been increasing, with people flocking to the Second Ring Road. I have worked in this real estate agency for a long time, experiencing both prosperity and the current downturn. It is common for us to not open for business for a whole year.
The saleswoman led Lin Caogen and his group to the Tanghe Yipin residential complex, heading straight for a villa tucked away in a corner. Lin Caogen was very satisfied with the villa; the building area was 300 square meters, and the 400-square-meter garden was practically a bonus. The villa was surrounded by iron railings and lush bamboo, and the yard could even accommodate two enormous horse-drawn carriages! It was three stories high, with a rooftop terrace perfect for barbecues! Both the layout and the environment were superb!
The saleswoman said, "Sirs and ladies, this villa is only 500 meters from Emerald Lake, and it's only a seven or eight-minute walk to the Bund Pedestrian Street, which is a great advantage in terms of location. Moreover, there is a highway exit just 2 kilometers away, making it very convenient to travel out of the city by horse-drawn carriage."
Lin Caogen nodded in satisfaction and said, "I like this one, but I wonder about the price?"
The saleswoman said, "Sir, to be honest, the supply of houses in Gaojing City is currently exceeding demand, and prices are falling across the board! You've come at a great time to buy a villa! It used to cost 100,000 Immortal Yuan Coins per square meter, but now it's been halved, only 50,000 Immortal Yuan Coins per square meter! Moreover, we offer lifetime ownership, no taxes on the purchase, and free property management fees for the first 10,000 years. After that, it will cost one Immortal Yuan Coin per square meter, collected annually! Are you sure you want to buy this house?"
Lin Caogen said, "It's confirmed! Let's go back and pay!"
The sales assistant was overjoyed! She completed the land deed procedures for Lin Caogen in just one hour!
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the family of four was enjoying a happy time in the small villa. Mu Wanqing cooked the dishes herself, Fu Yunxuan made dumplings, and Du Yumei cleaned and tidied the dining room.
Lin Caogen smelled the food Mu Wanqing had cooked and exclaimed, "Wanqing, your cooking smells so good!"
Mu Wanqing said, "Sister Yunxuan's dumplings are the best! You'll see in a bit!"
As a pot of dumplings was scooped out, the aroma filled the air!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the villa!
Du Yumei said, "Could it be the property management coming to collect the water bill?"
Lin Caogen said, "I'll go take a look!"
Looking through the peephole of the villa's outer door, all I could see was an old man!
Lin Caogen hurriedly opened the door and said, "What brings you here, sir?"
The old man was carrying a roast chicken and a gourd of wine on his back. "I'm your neighbor! I've lived here for five hundred years! I suddenly smelled the aroma of food and came to check! I never imagined this villa would be sold! Now I finally have a neighbor, hahaha!"
Lin Caogen hurriedly invited the old man into the house, saying, "So you're my neighbor! That's great! I'm not very familiar with this city of Haojing, so I hope you can give me some pointers! Please come in and have a seat. We just made some dumplings, please have a taste."
The old man didn't stand on ceremony and followed Lin Caogen directly to the rooftop restaurant on the third floor!
On the third floor rooftop, there is a semi-spherical glass restaurant where you can dine without being exposed to wind or rain, and enjoy the bright moon and stars.
When Fu Yunxuan, Mu Wanqing, and Du Yumei saw Lin Caogen arrive with an elderly man, they quickly stood up to greet him. Since they were at home, Mu Wanqing didn't wear a veil.
The old man laughed and said, "Young friend, you are so lucky! All three wives are so beautiful, like a hundred flowers blooming in competition!"
The three girls blushed instantly! But they were also secretly pleased!
Lin Caogen said, "We are all from out of town. We brought our wives here to broaden our horizons! Please take a seat, sir!"
The old man made no attempt to be polite, taking a sip of wine and a bite of roast chicken!
Fu Yunxuan said, "The dumplings are ready! Everyone, come and have a taste!"
The old man smelled the aroma of the dumplings, picked up his chopsticks, took one out, and put it in his mouth, saying, "Good! Good! The mushroom and bok choy filling is indeed delicious!"
Lin Caogen said, "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"
