Mingguang Street is one of the few streets in Nanyuan of Shaocheng. It is a wide and straight street with many shops and merchants on both sides. It is also only one street away from the official market opened by the imperial court in Nanyuan, so the street is very lively with people coming and going.

Yunlai Inn is located in the south of Mingguang Street. It is in a quiet location and elegantly decorated. You can see Jinjiang River from the second floor looking south.

Yang Qing woke up naturally from his sleep, ordered hot soup, washed up, opened the window and took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

He went down to the lobby on the first floor and found a table by the window, slowly sipping the weird-looking tea and eating some local snacks.

Our country's tea culture has a long history, but in the pre-Qin period tea was mainly used for medicinal purposes. After the Han Dynasty, tea gradually became a beverage in certain areas. Especially in Shu, the custom of drinking tea is quite old. Tea has become people's daily life at least since the Western Han Dynasty.

One of the beverages. However, most of the tea at this time was mixed with various strong seasonings and cooked together, and the taste was very different from that after the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Qing tasted the tea soup and felt an indescribable smell. He took a few sips and put it aside. He didn't know how people could get used to drinking it at this time. Anyway, he couldn't drink it anymore.

He almost ate all the snacks on the table. Although there were not as many condiments as later generations, the fragrance of the ingredients themselves was greatly highlighted, giving them a unique flavor.

After the meal, Yang Qing walked around the inn and felt that the environment of this inn was really good. If he had the money, he could book a room here for a long time. But after taking stock of his money, he felt that the inn had a good environment.

Thinking of the rent price mentioned by the store last night, he still felt that renting a cheap house was the long-term solution.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, where is the dental shop in the city? Are you planning to rent a room?" Yang Qing asked the shopkeeper.

The shop owner was a fat middle-aged man. He squinted his small eyes and said with a smile: "The guest is asking me. Not to mention all the teeth on the ground in Chengdu, I know nine times out of ten. I'm easy to teach.

The guest learned that the boundaries of each dental shop in the city are different. May I ask where the guest wants to live? "

Not only is this shop owner naturally enthusiastic, but you should also know that the dental shop will pay you for introducing customers to the dental shop. This is also a rule in the market, and it is mutually beneficial to both parties.

Yang Qing secretly thought to himself, logically speaking, living in a big city would be the most beneficial to his future plans, but at the moment, survival is the priority, and he can't make a fool of himself, otherwise it would be unsightly.

"I plan to live in the south gate of Shaocheng." After leaving the gate of Nanyuan and walking east, you can reach the south gate of the big city, which is considered a convenient road.

The fat shopkeeper glanced at Yang Qing and said: "Then the customer has come to our store at the right time. I am familiar with the dental shop here. I will ask the people below to lead the customer there later to ensure that the customer does not suffer any loss and is looking for you."

A good place to go.”

Yang Qing also understood what the store owner was thinking, but this was a win-win situation for both parties, and it was as it should be. He cupped his fists and bowed in salute: "Thank you very much to the store owner."

"I don't dare to say thank you. The guest is away from home, so it's my duty to take care of him." Seeing Yang Qing's solemnity, the store owner quickly returned the favor.

Yang Qing followed the clerk from Yunlai Inn to Nancheng Yahang, met the person in charge, rewarded the clerk with a hundred and five bahts, and sent him back.

The man who came to receive the Yachang was about eighteen or nineteen years old, a little younger than Yang Qing. Everyone he knew called him Ma Xiaolang. Although he was not old, he had been in the Yacheng for many years and was used to observing people's words and expressions.

He saw that although Yang Qing was dressed in simple clothes, he spoke elegantly and politely. He also looked tender-skinned and rosy in spirit. He did not look like someone who had done rough work. He knew that this man was a man who had studied and could not be said to be a rich man in trouble.

Sir, people like this cannot be fooled.

Ma Xiaolang put away his initial thoughts and asked enthusiastically: "May I ask the guest's name, where he is from, and how long the lease is?"

"A certain person with the surname Yang, who is from Jiangzhou, came to Chengdu to study and will probably stay here for a long time, so I will plan for a year first."

"It turns out to be Mr. Yang. I wonder what Mr. Yang's requirements are for the house?"

Yang Qing pondered for a while and then replied: "Yang doesn't like liveliness, so it's best to find a secluded place to live, preferably with a private courtyard. As for the owner of the house, he hopes to be an innocent family without much right and wrong."

He was afraid that asking for someone would be too high, so he added: "Of course the price would be better if it's cheaper."

Ma Xiaolang thought for a while and had a general direction in his mind: "I already understand Yang Langjun's request, but I hope Langjun can explain the price more clearly."

"The rent should be around 1,000 yuan per month, and no more than 1,500 yuan at most."

Yang Qing had just learned clearly from Ma Xiaolang that the housing prices in Chengdu at this time were no different from those in later generations. The price was related to the location, size, oldness, etc. of the house. The mansion compound with the middle pavilion and the back floor was worth hundreds.

Tens of millions of dollars, even ordinary houses cost tens of thousands of dollars. There are also thousands of dollars, but it goes without saying that the remote location and dilapidation cannot escape these shortcomings. Of course, this is the price of buying a property, and the price of renting is less.

In this area in the south of the city, more than a thousand dollars is actually considered a high price. After all, one stone of corn on the market in Chengdu at this time costs about two to three hundred dollars. This is the result of the intervention of the imperial court, otherwise it would be even higher. In the past two years, the price of the Han Dynasty

Food prices are not low.

"I understand, sir. Please wait a moment, sir. Let me check it out and ensure that I find a satisfactory residence for you." After saying this, Ma Xiaolang walked to the shelf in the house and took down a few bamboo slips to read through.

Yang Qing didn't wait long when he saw Ma Xiaolang walking over with a smile and a roll of bamboo slips.

Ma Xiaolang put the bamboo slip on the desk in front of him and pointed: "Yang Langjun has been waiting for a long time. I found a place according to Langjun's request. This family's house is located to the east of our store. Not to mention the place is secluded, and it happens to be a small place."

The owner of the courtyard is also an innocent family. It is said that the owner of the family was still an official but passed away two years ago. Therefore, the family was somewhat in decline, so the partial courtyard was rented out to subsidize the family."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Qing nodded: "Oh, since there is a suitable house, please ask Xiaolang to take me to see it."

As Ma Xiaolang arrived at the location, Yang Qing stood outside the door and looked around. The family lived deep in Osmanthus Alley. The main part of the house was a courtyard with three entrances, and there were two small courtyards on the left and right. The one on the right was ready to be rented out.

Although the house is not a luxurious compound, it is not affordable for ordinary people. Yang Qing is still looking around, and Ma Xiaolang has already invited the owner of the house.

The visitor was an old woman, her steps were vigorous and neat. She looked at Yang Qing carefully as she approached, and said with a smile: "I heard that Yang Langjun wants to rent my small courtyard?"

Yang Qing hurriedly replied: "Exactly. Ma Xiaolang must have explained the situation to his wife."

"I don't dare call you Langjun like that. I'm just a servant. Everyone calls me Auntie Gu." Auntie Gu introduced herself and said, "I wonder if Langjun Yang is satisfied with this place?"

It turned out to be just a servant of this family. He thought it was the master who came in person, but thinking about it, officials generally would not deal with such trivial matters personally.

“The location is quite what I like, but I don’t know what the inside of the building is like.”

After hearing this, Aunt Gu immediately took out the key, opened the courtyard door and led Yang Qing and Yang Qing into the courtyard.

The yard is not big. The first thing you see is the main house, with wing rooms on both sides. The living room is in the middle of the main house, the bedroom is on the left, and the study is on the right. Although the yard is small, it has an elegant layout. An osmanthus tree stands in the southeast corner of the yard and exudes a faint fragrance.

, the falling leaves were scattered all over the tree, and even the well nearby had to be covered with a log board.

Yang Qing had already made up his mind after entering the hospital. He didn't say anything at the moment and said directly to Aunt Gu: "Auntie, I am very satisfied with this place. How much is the rent?"

"Mr. Lang is such a happy person, and my family doesn't bully anyone. How about 1,200 yuan a month?"

"Can."

The three of them returned to the dental shop and settled on the paperwork. Yang Qing paid off the dental shop's fees, and then paid the rent of 2,400 yuan. Originally, Aunt Gu asked for half a year's rent payment in advance, but Yang Qing persuaded her to do so.

Let the old woman spare her life for two months, otherwise I'm afraid this deal won't continue.

Yang Qing went back to Yunlai Inn to exchange money, thanked the owner profusely, took his luggage and went to Osmanthus Alley. Although Aunt Gu said that she cleaned the courtyard every now and then, he thought that he had to live there after all.

It took more than an hour to tidy up the front and back of the house.
