Chapter 140 From now on, please give me more advice
Ning Ji first scooped her a bowl of mushroom soup and said, "Drink some soup first to warm your stomach. Be careful of the heat."
The mushroom soup is clear and rich with a light golden hue. Thin slices of mushrooms float in the soup, giving it an enticing aroma.
"Okay." She picked up the spoon and stirred the soup, which was still steaming.
She scooped a small spoonful, blew on the hot steam, and took a sip. The taste was still the same as last night, especially delicious.
After drinking the soup, he picked up some of her favorite dishes for her, and the small bowl was soon full.
"Cousin, you eat too."
"Ah."
She picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He still picked up food for her from time to time and encouraged her to eat more.
She felt a little helpless, as if she had gained some weight recently. Although she had been on the run these days, he had not let her down in terms of food.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ning Ji walked out of the restaurant and she and he slowly strolled along the busy long street to help digest the food. They also headed towards the business and would go see the house later.
When he walked into the store, a clerk inside saw a familiar face and hurried forward to greet him warmly. Because Ning Ji had been here in the morning, the clerk also realized that the probability of a deal was very high, so he had been waiting for Ning Ji to come again, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.
The clerk also realized that this required Si He's approval, so he quickly and enthusiastically introduced the house.
Moro City is a big city and the houses in the city are quite expensive, but for two people to live together, they don’t need a very big house. Si He doesn’t have high requirements for this, and a small house with a good environment will do.
At this time, a man hurried in from outside, holding the title deed in his hand, and said he wanted to sell the house.
Si He recognized the man. He was the one who had said on the street that he wanted to buy a female slave.
She probably guessed the reason why this person wanted to sell the house, but if he was in a hurry to use the money, it would be difficult to realize the cash immediately if he put it up for sale in a business.
Si He guessed correctly. The man was indeed in urgent need of money to buy the female slave. He had also been to the pawnshop. Although he could get the money immediately there, the pawnshop was too exploitative, so he came to the trading company to ask.
"Two hundred taels! Why the hell don't you just go and rob it? This piece of land, this house, can be sold for at least five hundred taels!"
The man was furious about the merchant's offer, which was no softer than a knife in a pawn shop!
The shopkeeper of the business wanted to take the man to the inner room to talk. After all, the quotation was not something that could be discussed in public. But the man refused and insisted on talking in the lobby. The shopkeeper looked unhappy.
When the man turned around, he saw a waiter not far away introducing the house to Si He and Ning Ji. His eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.
"Do you two want to buy a house? My house is very nice and the price is reasonable. Would you like to take a look?" His direct act of stealing customers made the shopkeepers and others look even uglier.
"Sir, this is not right!" The shopkeeper came over quickly with a cold expression.
The man looked at the shopkeeper's unpleasant expression and, knowing a little about the rules, said, "At worst, I'll share some of the referral fee with you according to the rules."
He spoke bluntly, like a young fool.
After he finished speaking, he showed the deed in his hand to Ning Ji and said, "My location is really good. If I didn't need the money urgently, I really wouldn't want to sell it. Let's take a look."
Ning Ji glanced at the shopkeeper. Although his expression was not very good, he acquiesced to the man's behavior.
He took another look at the deed. It seemed to meet his requirements. The house wasn't big, but the location was okay. "Price?"
The man's eyes lit up, "Five hundred taels of silver!"
Ning Ji sneered, "The merchant's valuation is two hundred taels."
At this moment, both the man and the shopkeeper looked unhappy.
"This company is asking a ridiculous price," the man said, blaming the company. "It's definitely not going to sell for 200 taels. The cheapest is 450 taels. You won't find anything better in Moruo City at this price and in this location!"
Four hundred and fifty taels was still too expensive, but the price could be bargained down. But first, we had to look at the place. Ning Ji turned to look at Si He, "Shall we go take a look first?"
"Okay." Si He listened to him.
The man was overjoyed when he heard this. "Come on, I'll take you there. It's not far from here."
Several people went out to look at the house, and the trading company also sent a clerk to go with them. After all, they would take a commission from it, so it was impossible to let people talk privately.
As for this commission, it is only paid unilaterally by the seller to the merchant company, and the buyer does not need to pay it, so Ning Ji does not care.
After walking through two long streets and then turning into a small alley, we arrived at the house.
The location is really good, quiet in a busy area, and the house is relatively new.
After opening the gate, the man introduced the house with some urgency, as he was anxious to sell it for money.
Ning Ji and Si He were not in a hurry and took their time to look around. However, they were quite satisfied with the place.
This house is about the same size as Ning Ji's house in Gucheng, and the structure of the house is also similar, which makes the two of them feel a little familiar.
Although this house is idle, someone comes to clean it occasionally. It looks quite clean and spacious. There is nothing in it except the bed, table and chairs. It is possible to buy new ones.
Finally, after some bargaining, the deal was settled at 350 taels. Both parties were quite satisfied with it. In fact, it was almost the same as the market price.
However, buying a house is different from buying goods. After the transaction is concluded, you still have to go to the government office to go through the relevant procedures and replace the house deed before it is considered a real transaction, which is a bit troublesome.
After arriving at the government office, we learned that the man's name was Huang Dashan, and he was the son of a guard leader in the government office. Therefore, the process of doing business at the government office went very smoothly and the formalities were completed quickly.
The people in the business had condoned his behavior of stealing customers because they were somewhat concerned about Huang Dashan's father. There was no need to cause trouble for a small amount of money.
After Huang Dashan got the silver note, he left in a hurry.
After leaving the government office, Si He asked, "Cousin, are we moving into the house tomorrow?"
"Well, it's still early now. We can go buy some things and have them delivered tomorrow."
"it is good."
Ning Ji took her to a shop on the street to pick out some daily necessities such as quilts, sheets, pots and pans.
However, when choosing quilts and sheets, Ning Ji picked red. She understood the meaning of it, but for some reason, her face turned red.
In fact, she really doesn't care about status. She doesn't have the conservative ideas of the girls here. As long as he treats her sincerely and treats her well for the rest of her life, she really doesn't care about the wedding.
Moreover, the identities of the two are sensitive. Although this is Beisha Country, she still doesn't want to be too ostentatious. It's good to live a low-key life.
So when Ning Ji proposed to hold a wedding, she refused.
Ning Ji had no choice but to make up for it elsewhere, and bought her the best things.
The shop owner was very happy to see that he had closed a big deal.
When I walked out of the shop, the sun had already set.
Perhaps because of the refusal to hold the wedding, she could feel his disappointment, although he did not show it.
So, she smiled and said to him, "From now on, please give me more guidance, my husband."
