Ling Yun looked at Manager Wang of the Zhou family and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Wang, how much does it cost to add a shop in this yard?"
As soon as Manager Wang heard Ling Yun inquire about the price, he knew that he had chosen this courtyard, but it was quite noisy with people coming and going.
He was a scholar, so he thought he needed a quiet courtyard to facilitate scientific examinations.
So someone asked, "Master Yun, this area in the north of the county is usually very noisy. Why don't you look at other places?"
"No, Grandpa Wang, this is very good. Please help me ask how much it is."
Manager Wang's kind words and advice did not change Ling Yun's decision.
This second-entry courtyard has exactly four rooms, plus a kitchen and a shop.
There is just enough room for one person in the Ling family. The shop is of course used for making a living, so it is quite perfect.
When Manager Wang saw that Ling Yun had made up his mind, he stopped trying to persuade him and directly told him the price, "Okay then! Master Yun, I asked you just now. A total of 28 grains of silver are needed."
The second entrance to the courtyard actually cost 28 taels. Even though he was mentally prepared, Ling Yun was still surprised.
This is just a courtyard in a small county town, and it costs 28 grains of silver. If it were in Fucheng, how much would the same courtyard cost?
What Ling Yun didn't know was that the courtyard originally cost 35 taels of silver, and the 28 taels were just the money for the courtyard. The shop alone needed to add another 7 taels of silver.
It was only Manager Wang who came forward, and the seller directly gave him the store as a gift.
After all, 7 taels of silver can buy you a familiar face in front of Manager Wang of the Zhou family. No matter how you look at this transaction, you will definitely make a profit.
After paying the money and signing the pledge, the land deed was in Ling Yun's hands.
He put the land deed in his hand and looked at it again and again. This piece of paper was actually 28 taels, which was really not cheap!
Ling Yun whispered in a low voice, he should be considered a person with a house in the city, right?
As for why Lingyun wanted to buy a courtyard with a shop in the county?
It's because he recently discovered a way to make money.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, he came up with the idea of selling mooncakes.
During this time at home, he relied on his skilled craftsmanship to dig a hole in the wood and carve it into a mold for making mooncakes.
After the mold is formed, you only need to put the kneaded flour into it, then add some cake center inside, and a Mid-Autumn Mooncake will appear.
He tried to sell them in the town, but he didn't expect that more than 50 mooncakes were sold out in less than an hour.
Ling Yun felt that a business opportunity had come.
At this time, there was no such thing as moon cakes. There were only pastries, or cakes similar to moon cakes, but their appearance was a bit unappealing.
Lingyun made four molds and engraved the words "Mid-Autumn Festival" on each one.
When they were put out for sale, everyone was surprised to see that the cake didn't look like a cake and the pastry didn't look like a pastry.
Moreover, there are words engraved on the cakes, which makes people feel refreshed and people rush to buy them without realizing it.
Besides, the mooncakes he sells are not expensive. The cost price is forty or fifty cents, and he only sells them for one hundred cents.
In addition, he felt that living in the village was really inconvenient, and he thought about renting or buying a house in the county, so the scene just happened.
Now that we have a house and a shop, the next step is to move and open the shop.
Moving is actually not a hassle. After all, you only need to bring what you need and buy everything else on the street.
Ling Yun calculated the money he had and found that out of the 28 taels he had just spent when he went out, he still had more than 80 taels left.
As for how the money came to be so much, the reason is that a few days ago King Jinghui sent another 80 taels, saying it was a monthly share of the novel.
As far as the money Ling Yun currently has is concerned, it is more than enough to manage the lives of a whole family.
If Ling Dashan and Ling Daren hadn't needed to drink traditional Chinese medicine every day, they wouldn't have been able to spend all the money for several years.
As a precaution, he still wanted to save more for emergencies.
Uncle Zhou looked at Ling Yun in front of him, patted his chest and said, "Boy Ling, just go ahead with peace of mind! I'll be watching the fields in the village, so don't worry."
Ling Yun said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble Grandpa Zhou."
After the family affairs were arranged, the Ling family was ready to go to the county town. In fact, Ling Yun's grandma and grandpa were unwilling to go because they couldn't bear to leave Guangping Village.
Finally, for Ling Yun's sake, I agreed.
However, Ling Yun promised them that if they didn't want to stay in the county that day, we would come back.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Liang's brows relaxed and her smile brightened, like a wronged child when someone suddenly handed her a candy.
When it comes to living in the city, the fifth child is the happiest. He is so lively that he doesn't want to stay in the village for a moment.
After closing the door of the Ling family tightly, Ling Yun looked at Liang and Yang and said, "Grandma, mother, let's go!"
Because there were two injured people at home, Ling Yun rented two carriages and deliberately chose a carriage that was relatively stable.
In addition, Zhou Dachang's ox cart drove slowly towards Lingshan County.
In Liang's reluctant eyes, the scenery of Guangping Village became farther and farther away until it completely disappeared...
"This is our new home. Grandma and mother live on this side, and my sisters and the fifth baby live on this side with me."
When they arrived at their new home in the county, Ling Yun first arranged a room for them, and they had no objection to this.
After all, Ling Yun arranged this to take care of Ling Dashan and Ling Daren. They had limited legs and feet, so it would be better to live in the inner courtyard.
After arranging his accommodation, Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the bed, rubbing his eyes.
"Is Master Yun at home?"
Suddenly he heard someone calling him, and Ling Yun reluctantly got up.
When he went out, he saw that it was Manager Wang. Ling Yun asked doubtfully, "Grandpa Wang, what are you doing?"
Manager Wang saw Ling Yun and quickly explained, "Master Yun, my master heard that you moved to a new home, so he sent some things to congratulate you on your move."
After saying that, he sent someone to deliver the things to the door. Ling Yun hurriedly thanked him, "Grandpa Wang, thank Uncle Zhou on behalf of the boy."
"Master Yun, I will definitely bring you here."
Ling Yun stretched out his hand to invite Mr. Wang in, and said humbly, "Grandpa Wang, come in, take a rest and have a cup of tea."
Manager Wang waved his hand and said, "Master Yun, there is no need to be polite, this is what an old slave should do."
"Manager Wang, come in and have a sip of tea. You are always busy with things in the boy's yard. Now I have to make this trip for you. I feel sorry for you. Besides, it should be a lively day for the boy to move into his house."
"
Ling Yun's earnest words finally convinced Mr. Wang to come in and have a cup of tea.
But not long after, no matter how Ling Yun tried to persuade him to stay, Manager Wang said goodbye to him because the Zhou family still had matters to deal with.
Ling Yun didn't have many relatives, and he had never met his father's sister, so only his uncle came during this housewarming.
My uncle's family and his family, a total of dozens of people, were sitting at the same table eating together, which was quite lively.
After eating, uncle will go home.
According to Ling Yun, he has a lot of house, so it's okay to stay there for a few more days.
But my uncle couldn't sit still and insisted on leaving.
But in the end Yang Hu stayed because Ling Yun had something to do with him.
