Chapter 9: Life is really hard
"I know, don't worry, we won't leave it for you." Que Ling said while wiping.
"Wow, little Queque, you are so cruel! My heart is so cold." Tang Sha looked distressed.
"Qi! How cruel can you be?" Que Ling asked back.
Tang Sha smiled flatteringly: "I'm not cruel. I'm doing all this just for our bright future. I won't tell you until this is done, otherwise it will all be in vain."
"Believe me!" Que Ling said, imitating Tang Sha's usual words.
"Haha, am I just a wandering ghost?" Tang Sha raised her eyebrows and joked. Only she knew which one was more joking or serious.
After noisy, everyone got it done. Then we went out to walk around the lotus pond for a few times.
As soon as Tang Sha saw the lotus pond, he thought of the pair of wild mandarin ducks that day, and laughed to himself. Several people around him looked suspicious.
Not long after returning from visiting the lotus pond, they fell asleep. Tang Sha packed her things for tomorrow and read for a while before going to bed.
Tang Sha had another dream. She dreamed that there were many mandarin ducks in the lotus pond. She held a stick and laughed while beating the mandarin ducks. Later, she seemed to also dream about Ye Xuanyuan and Ning Ge. In the dream, their relationship was somewhat different.
Too normal.
When the chicken crowed for the second time, it was around 6 o'clock in the morning. Tang Sha had just woken up, sitting on the bed and holding her forehead. She might never tell anyone what she had dreamed about, especially if she had the chance to talk to Ning Ge.
Ye Xuanyuan and the other two people can talk to each other.
After sitting for a while, I got out of bed. The autumn weather was really making me sleepy.
He casually put on some newly bought men's clothes, took a basin to the yard to get cold water and washed up. After washing, he put the basin on the stone table and went to the hut over the lotus pond to use the toilet. Tang Sha never used the urinal under the bed.
, she always felt weird. After going to the toilet, she washed her hands with soap and poured them under the tree. Then she returned to the house and gently placed the basin on the shelf.
Pushing open the door of the cubicle, he walked to the desk, picked up the things he had packed last night, and made sure nothing was missing before going out.
The fog was a bit heavy this morning. You couldn't see anyone ten meters away. The weeds beside the wall were covered in fog and were wet. Even the bluestones on the ground were soaked with dew along the way, making the color darker.
Not the same.
After climbing over the wall, we walked out of the alley. Even though it was very foggy, there were many stalls set up on both sides of the street, most of them selling breakfast, morning tea and so on.
Tang Sha stopped by and bought two hot, white and tender steamed buns, one stuffed with bean sprouts and one stuffed with soy sauce meat. When he took a bite, the aroma was overwhelming. The buns from this restaurant are good, I will buy them next time.
After eating the buns, fold up the paper used to wrap the buns and put them into the gauze hanging around your waist (da uttered a soft voice), which is the ancient version of a wallet, big enough to be hung on the shoulder.
Generally, rich people use purses and special money bags to carry money. Tang Sha thought it was too small and not enough.
Why do you put paper in the sack? It's because you can't litter. The sanitation requirements in ancient cities are extremely strict. If you are caught littering, you will be fined, and the amount is not small. In serious cases, you will be punished.
Chen Guo has a special street department that cleans the city twice a day. The streets are always clean. Usually, the street department will send people to check around the streets.
After walking around for half a month, she had walked through almost all the streets and alleys of the imperial capital. She didn't remember them all, but she had an impression.
There were more and more people on the street. Tang Sha walked quickly for about three-quarters of an hour before he reached his destination today and stopped at the door of an inn.
This is a street close to Kyoto's city walls. It is not as prosperous as the city center, but there is still a lot of traffic.
I looked at the copper drain next to the tea shop and saw that it was now three quarters on the hour, about seven forty. There was still about a quarter of an hour before the agreed time to meet.
Tang Sha entered the inn and sat down. There were only a few people in the inn besides Tang Sha, and it looked like business was bleak.
About ten minutes later, Tang Sha got up, walked to the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, your boss and I have made an appointment to meet at this time today. Can you go up and convey it?"
The shopkeeper took a closer look at the young man in front of him. He was well-dressed, had an extraordinary bearing, was not particularly tall, had a delicate appearance, and had a soft voice. He was the same young man as the boss said.
"Wait a moment, young master." The shopkeeper nodded, walked out of the counter and went upstairs.
After a while, I saw the shopkeeper coming down with someone else. The man in front was a middle-aged man, wearing golden clothes, black boots, and a white jade crown. He was slightly fat. He looked simple and honest, but he was actually quite shrewd.
When the middle-aged man saw Tang Sha, he came over enthusiastically and saluted: "Oh, Mr. Ning is here. I am not greeted at a distance, but I am not welcomed at a distance. Don't be surprised."
"Where. Boss Li, I have already prepared the money. If we have free time now, we can go to the government to get the matter done, so as not to drag it out and have long nights and dreams." Tang Sha was not used to businessmen's stuff, so he got straight to the point.
She had been discussing the price with him in the past few days, and finally settled the deal the day before yesterday, and she didn't want anything to go wrong. This was just the first step, and there were many things to come. If he went back on his word today, or temporarily increased the price,
She decided to beat him up until he died tonight, no joke.
"If you have time, I'll go up and get something. I'll be back in a moment. Sir, please wait for a moment." Boss Li said quite sensibly, and then he and the shopkeeper went upstairs.
upstairs
"Boss, you sold the store to him for just three thousand taels? You don't plan to..." the shopkeeper whispered.
"It's almost three thousand taels. This guy is very shrewd. He knows the land prices and commodity prices in Kyoto very clearly. Knowing that someone had trouble with this store and no one wanted to buy it, I hurriedly made a move. This price is also reasonable. Don't look at it.
He was a gentle man, but I was scared to see his aggressive and angry look that day. Who could raise such a large sum of money so quickly? I don't know which dandy from an official family could.
It's better not to provoke him." He has been in business for so many years and has met countless people. But this is the first time he has seen such an extremely shrewd playboy. Thinking of what happened that night, Boss Li has lingering fears.
Indeed, Boss Li came down without waiting long.
"Let's go, Boss Li, please." Tang Sha's politeness made Boss Li a little uncomfortable.
They walked for a long time and came to the capital government office, where they found an official who specialized in managing the sale and purchase of property deeds.
The official gave them two house resale deeds and asked them to fill them out.
Tang Sha took it and looked at it carefully. The layout was good, but he didn't know if his handwriting would be so beautiful.
When buying and selling a house, you need to pay a deed tax of 4%. The seller pays 3% and the buyer pays 1%.
After filling out the contract, Tang Sha handed it to Guan Ya. Guan Ya looked at it, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a fake smile to Tang Sha: "Young Master has good words."
Tang Sha didn't know what a face was, so he responded: "Ever since I was a child, everyone said that I have good handwriting."
The fake smile froze on Guan Ya's face, and he was actually speechless.
After filling out all this, they still need to register their names and check their place of origin to see if that place is that special.
Tang Sha knew it from the beginning, so the name he mentioned in front of Boss Li was Ning Xiaoming.
The various procedures took several hours and were not completed until nearly noon.
"Mr. Ning, the deal is finally done. I will move out in the next two days, and you can take possession of the house in two days." After leaving the house, Boss Li walked beside Tang Sha and said to Tang Sha.
"No problem, Boss Li. If you want to go to Zuihua Building, I'll invite you!" Tang Sha approached Boss Li and whispered.
Boss Li looked at Tang Sha strangely, does this young master really hold a grudge?
"Don't look at me like that, don't worry, I know your girl has a bad temper, and I won't tell her," Tang Sha continued to encourage.
Boss Li: Mr. Ning is really impeccable in doing things. He shows his sincerity without spending any money. Because he knows that he won’t go. Who knows if this weird Mr. Ning will reveal the matter to the mother in the next moment.
The tiger is there.
"Haha, thanks for Mr. Ning's kindness, you can go alone! I'll go back first." After saying that, Tang Sha was left standing alone and left quickly.
Tang Sha looked at Boss Li's back and shook his head: "Tsk, tsk, you said it with gnashing of teeth, so angry."
She would not target someone for no reason, but after Boss Li met her for the first time at Yahang (an ancient housing agency), Boss Li invited her to talk to Zuihua House in the evening. She was already very curious about brothels.
, she agreed without saying a word. But what Boss Li took her to was not a drunken flower building at all, but a small courtyard.
Asked him where this was, he said he was going to get something and asked her to stay in the room to drink some tea and wait for him.
Unexpectedly, Boss Li locked the door as soon as he went out. Tang Sha also noticed that something was wrong. What did Boss Li want to do? Is she a young man who wants to rob or something?
In fact, it wasn’t until Tang Sha went to inquire about it the next day that he found out that Boss Li was a manly woman, and his wife had once exposed him for this. The wife had someone beat them both up, and said she wanted to divorce and take them away.
All dowries.
All of Boss Li's assets belonged to his wife's family, so it was naturally impossible for them to reconcile. In the end, they had a long quarrel, swore many oaths, and personally broke one of the man's legs.
He had a good eye and fell in love with her, but his eyes seemed not very good and he couldn't see clearly who he was looking at.
Tang Sha didn't take any action at that time, as it would be bad if there was a misunderstanding. But after a while, someone actually broke the window paper and blew smoke into the room. Tang Sha sat down obediently and got over it. After all, it was the first time he met
This kind of thing. But she had been circling the room observing, and happened to see this scene.
At that time, the man exploded, with a sneer on his lips and a sullen face. He held his breath first, then threw a wooden stool towards the hole where the smoke was blowing. It missed, and the wooden window wall shook violently. The people outside seemed to also
Frightened, the bamboo pipe was quickly pulled out.
Tang Sha picked up the inkstone on the desk and walked towards the door. He kicked the door but did not kick it open. Haha, Tang Sha turned around, ran two steps, and flew forward with a kick.
The wooden door could not bear its weight and fell to the ground with a clang.
The huge movement alerted Boss Li, who was wondering if he was getting something in another room.
Boss Li came out of the door not far away. Seeing this scene, he ran over and asked, "Mr. Ning, what's going on?" He looked concerned.
Tang Sha stood on the door panel without saying a word, staring at Boss Li, and then walked towards him.
Boss Li seemed frightened by Tang Sha's behavior. He glanced at the inkstone in her hand, took a few steps back, and leaned against the pillar in the corridor.
Tang Sha didn't know how scary she was with the murderous look on her face at that time.
"Mr. Ning, you...what's wrong with you? If there is any problem, we can sit down and talk about it. You...you!" A scream replaced it, and then the world became quiet.
Suddenly he heard someone chuckle twice: "Haha, Boss Li, what are you afraid of? I'm just using an inkstone to kill mosquitoes for you. They keep flying around your head. Keep your eyes open and take a look." Tang
Sha took off the inkstone that was half-remained on the pillar and brought the bottom to Boss Li, who was already pale, with his eyes closed and his legs weak, sitting on the ground.
Boss Li gasped for air and slowly opened his eyes. There was actually a mosquito that had sucked enough blood at the bottom of the inkstone, which was a blur. The hand that was holding the edge of the inkstone, which was slender than a normal man, also used too much force.
The tiger's mouth was torn and blood flowed out. If this thing hit him on the head, Boss Li's face would become even paler.
"Boss Li, we don't have to go to Zuihua Building. Let's go to Yahang during the day to talk. Do you think you will come tomorrow?" Tang Sha knelt down and said to Boss Li.
Boss Li's hair stood on end. This young master who acted recklessly was really a bit embarrassing. He quickly said: "Go ahead."
After Tang Sha got the answer, he stood up and threw half of the inkstone in his hand on the floor next to Boss Li, which made Boss Li tremble in fright.
"Then we'll see you tomorrow." After saying that, Tang Sha left the small courtyard. Before going back, he treated the wound on his hand to avoid being seen by those in the courtyard.
The store has been purchased, and the next step is to decorate, recruit people, and promote it. There are many things to do. My head hurts and life is very difficult.
After getting the house deed, you need to apply for a business license. It doesn't take much trouble, just go to the government to report the name of the store and her name.
She was the future bookseller. The government had many branches, all doing different things. Tang Sha went to a nearby small restaurant for lunch and a bowl of drink.
The fog had dispersed for a long time, and the sun was shining on the street. Tang Sha finished her lunch in the sun and went to apply for the license. She gave her future store a very loud name: Xiaoming Bookstore.
She has observed for so long that most industries in the imperial capital are almost full, but there is a lack of bookstores that can publish books. Chen State has a strong cultural atmosphere and attaches great importance to cultural development. There is no competition in bookstores and the future is bright.
