After passing through the double-flowered gate, you will see the main courtyard, which consists of a main house, two wing rooms, and four side rooms in the four corners.
Zhang Houzi pushed open the door of the main courtyard, and Liu Qinghuan saw that the furniture inside was complete. He also saw that Zhang Houzi had asked someone to clean it regularly, so there was not much dust.
"The original owner passed away, and these pieces of furniture were left behind. I saw that they were well preserved and in good shape, so I placed them in the house. If you don't like them, you can just replace them."
Liu Qinghuan was eager to bring the furniture: "The original owner of this house had good taste. Why should I go through all that trouble again?"
"Sister, as long as you are satisfied."
"It's just that this house is really old, and the doors and windows are a bit cracked." Although Liu Qinghuan hadn't visited the backyard yet, she was quite satisfied with the house and wanted to take it down. Now was the time to find fault. "Just now when you pushed the door open, it creaked loudly."
Zhang Houzi knew the trick: "It's been six months since we've had any visitors. The house is getting old. Once we move in, repaint it and decorate it, it'll be like new. I guarantee you can live here for another hundred or eighty years."
Liu Qinghuan laughed when he heard the exaggeration.
"Let's go to the backyard and take a look."
After the two of them toured the house, Liu Qinghuan bargained hard and finally agreed to buy the house of nearly 500 square meters for 2,000 taels.
And, pay in installments.
Liu Qinghuan is so poor... She only has more than 500 taels of silver in her hand. Who would have thought that housing prices in ancient times were so expensive.
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhang. I'll definitely invite you to have a drink at the restaurant someday."
If it weren't for the need for installment payments, Liu Qinghuan could have negotiated a lower price.
It was also thanks to Zhang Houzi that he saw the strong momentum of Huanxi Restaurant and wanted to make friends with Liu Qinghuan that he agreed to this installment plan that sounded outrageous.
"That's it for now. I'll give you the land deed first, and when you pay me, I'll give you the house deed."
"Ai."
The two men returned to the dental clinic, signed the contract, and wrote down the amount. Liu Qinghuan paid 500 taels of silver first, and then paid 300 taels every month thereafter.
"I'll go home to get the money and come back to sign tomorrow." Liu Qinghuan was halfway there when he remembered and told Zhang Houzi that he wanted to hire an accountant.
"Well, isn't this a small matter? Whatever kind of girl you want, I'll find it for you tomorrow and I won't charge you any agency fee." Zhang Houzi made a big deal and earned more than three hundred taels, so naturally he didn't care about the agency's few cents.
"Then I'll accept Brother Zhang's favor." Liu Qinghuan didn't refuse and stated his request. After Zhang Houzi agreed, Liu Qinghuan went home.
Halfway through the journey, Liu Qinghuan saw Ah Ming stumbling in a hurry. He looked up and saw her, and almost burst into tears.
"What's wrong? Slow down." A Ming almost fell in front of Liu Qinghuan, sweat all over his forehead.
"Boss, I found you," A Ming said, "Go back quickly, something happened at home."
Ah Ming pointed in the direction of Huanxi Restaurant. Liu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Three constables came to our house just now. They said they received a report that opium was added to our food, and it would make people addicted after eating it."
"Don't worry, we are doing our job properly, nothing will happen." After hearing this, Liu Qinghuan felt more at ease and told A Ming not to panic.
Unexpectedly, Ah Ming still looked anxious: "No, Boss, it's my cousin who has a bad temper. When I came out, he was about to fight with that captain. Brother Rong and Brother Dahai couldn't stop him at all. You should go back quickly, otherwise we will really get into big trouble!"
Liu Qinghuan almost fell down when she heard this. She lifted up the hem of her skirt and rushed to the restaurant at the speed of an 800-meter sprint.
