Chapter 67 Buying a House
Li Yapo took them into the workshop.
The whole workshop is very large. Although it looks a bit deserted now, it would be nice to clean it up.
The backyard is also very big, so you can grow bean sprouts and tofu together.
And there are several guest rooms.
The interior looks pretty good, probably where the previous owner rested.
Later when he came to town, he had a place to live.
Even the workers' houses are well built, with open space next to them, which can be expanded if it is not enough.
I am really satisfied. The original owner must have had a good business. This workshop is big, well-equipped, and has many wells, four in total.
Xie Shuangbai was very satisfied, but his face was calm as he asked casually, "How much is it?"
"2,000 taels." After Li Yapo said the price, she looked at Xie Shuangbai somewhat unnaturally.
Xie Shuangbai smiled and didn't even bargain: "Let's go."
Li Yapo was stunned. She didn't expect that this person would not play by the rules and would just leave without even bargaining.
She had clearly felt that she liked this young man very much.
The matchmaker quickly called out to Xie Shuangbai, "Sir, please wait. The master said we can discuss this!"
Xie Shuangbai stopped and looked at Li Yapo: "Do you think we're easy to cheat? You dare to ask for two thousand taels for a shabby workshop where no one wants it anymore even though the owner has died!"
Li Yapo was embarrassed. When she thought about the owner's urgent urging her to sell it quickly, it would be fine if it was cheaper. They couldn't wait any longer and gritted their teeth and said, "How much do you want?"
Xie Shuangbai said casually: "200 taels."
"200 taels! Young master has such a big workshop!" Li Yapo's voice became a little higher in shock.
Xie Shuangbai glanced at the workshop: "Someone's dead, two of them."
Mrs. Li choked and stopped talking.
Merchants in the Dayin Dynasty were very superstitious about death. No matter how good their shop was, they felt that a bloody disaster would lead to financial loss.
So even if the price is extremely low, no one will buy it.
Xie Shuangbai under the red flag has no taboos. He has always believed that as long as one has a righteous heart and righteous thoughts, evil cannot prevail over good, and a righteous person can suppress all evil.
What's more, people die every day these days. He is not afraid of those unscrupulous businessmen who trample on other people's flesh and blood, and those who do evil things that harm others. So what is he afraid of!
"I'll go back and ask the owner. The price is too low. I can't make the decision."
Mrs. Li sighed, feeling that the job was in vain.
"If it's OK, we'll pay the money and transfer the ownership tomorrow. I still have to renovate the house, so hurry up."
Li Yapo didn't waste any time and left in a hurry after sending them to the inn.
Li Yapo returned to the main house. The seller frowned when he heard it. "Two hundred taels, it's a pity that this person dared to say that. A small two-story house in town would cost more than that."
"You're right," said Li, looking at the owner. "Isn't this... something wrong? You know merchants are afraid of blood." She sighed and said, "No matter how good the shop is, it won't be sold at a high price."
Everyone fell silent when Li Yapo said this.
The family had no choice but to accept the truth, saying, "Okay, 200 taels, but the other party has to pay all the taxes and other things."
Mrs. Li was very excited. She had finally sold this hot potato. She said happily, "Okay, I'll go find a buyer right away."
Not long after Xie Shuangbai finished dinner, Li Yapo came and said that the other party was willing to sell, but he had to pay the transfer tax. Xie Shuangbai agreed and they made an appointment to go and transfer the property tomorrow.
Wang Yun was also very happy and looked at Xie Shuangbai with admiration: "Boss, you are amazing. How did you know that you could buy it for 200 taels?"
Xie Shuangbai thought to himself that he really knew nothing and the two hundred taels was just something he said casually. He would have to renovate many places later, and if he bought it at too high a price, the cost would not be justified.
He shook his head and said, "I really don't know. I just said it casually. I didn't expect them to be willing."
Xie Shuangbai thought to herself that Wang Yun should give up his excessive admiration for the boss!
The next day, under the leadership of Li Yapo, the two parties quickly transferred the ownership of the house. When Xie Shuangbai was transferring the ownership, the government office found out that he was a scholar and had not received the previous subsidy. He only paid a part of the subsidy, which surprised Xie Shuangbai. In addition to the commission for the house, he gave Li Yapo another 2 taels of silver. Li Yapo was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and said she didn't want any money.
He looked at the property deed in his hand with a smile. Now he was also a property owner.
The house has been bought, and the next step is to renovate it.
When building a house, you have to find Zhao Dunzi. First, he is an acquaintance, and second, no one else can build a kang inside.
Zhao Dunzi has been very busy recently, but fortunately he has finally completed the construction of kang beds in Laozhangren Village and several surrounding villages.
He said he had to take a break no matter what, so he took his wife and son back to Xiaoshi Village today.
The engineering team also had three days of paid leave.
I have made a lot of money recently and asked the accountant to keep track of the accounts.
Xie Shuangbai asked Hei Dou to go back and see if Zhao Dunzi was there. If he was, he should bring him over to renovate the house.
Zhao Dunzi had just woken up when he got home and was called away by Hei Dou again.
Zhao Dunzi knew Heidou, Heisan's son, a very gloomy boy. He had previously told his son to stay away from him.
Unexpectedly, he was smart and ran to the younger brother and became an errand boy. He was much more cunning than his father Heisan.
Zhao Dunzi was thinking about all sorts of things along the way and soon arrived at the inn.
He saw Xie Shuangbai was very affectionate, and he started shouting from a distance: "Little brother, I miss you so much!"
Just as Xie Shuangbai was about to speak, Rong Ye stood in front of them like a wall.
Zhao Dunzi looked at the man in front of him who was almost two heads taller than him and swallowed his saliva. He tilted his head and asked, "Little brother, are you... a bodyguard?"
Xie Shuangbai pushed Rong Ye, "Silly...Aye, get out of the way first!"
Xie Shuangbai has been feeling helpless these past two days. Rong Ye has been a little overprotective of him.
Rong Ye reluctantly moved aside when he saw that Xie Shuangbai was unhappy.
"It's okay, he's my... yes, bodyguard."
Xie Shuangbai couldn’t say that he picked up this person!
Zhao Dunzi joked, "Little brother, you've been doing really well lately. You even have a personal bodyguard. You must be making a lot of money!"
Zhao Dunzi had heard that the tofu workshop opened by Mr. Xie from Xiaoshi Village was very popular in the surrounding villages.
In his father-in-law’s village, tofu is very popular and if you go too late you won’t be able to grab some!
"No one is as good as you. It's been a long time since I last saw you. How is it like making the bed?"
"Oh, don't mention it. I'm exhausted. If you hadn't asked me to come out today, I wouldn't have come out. What kind of house are you going to decorate?"
Xie Shuangbai then told him about the workshop.
Zhao Dunzi often knew about this in the town, but he didn't expect that he bought it.
"How much?"
"200 taels."
Zhao Dunzi took a deep breath, looking as if to say, "As expected, it has to be you."
Seeing him so surprised, Xie Shuangbai said, "Is it really that cheap? I don't know, I just said it casually."
Zhao Dunzi seriously suspected that Xie Shuangbai was something special. "Little brother, are you related to a god? How come you always find something so great that others can't?"
Xie Shuangbai smiled, thinking to himself, "You're really audacious!" He said helplessly, "I really stumbled upon this opportunity by accident."
He then continued, "I have an idea for converting the workshop. See if you can do it. If it's done, I can give you a model house."
Zhao Dunzi became excited when he heard this. He felt that Xie Shuangbai didn't use his full strength when he renovated the old house last time.
"Okay, I'll definitely do it well."
