Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 372 Heartbeat

"The left side is the end of the street. Not many pedestrians will come from there, and most people won't walk to such a remote place!" Song Ying was very dissatisfied with this location and his tone became intense.

This Fang Yazi is really not modest at all. He had really boasted before. Although this shop is also in Yunshuifang, it is at the very end, close to the low and narrow Willow Lane, which is basically a residential area. People who come to the city to buy things basically don't come here.

No wonder the owner of the house wanted to sell it and was willing to pay 5 taels of silver less. If this place was only used for living, it would be a very good place. It is quiet and not far from the busy neighborhood, making it convenient for daily shopping.

But using it as a shop would be a rip-off!

This shop was very difficult to sell. Fang Yazi wanted to sell it very much, so he kept persuading them: "This shop is not very suitable for selling other things, but you sell pancreas, so it is just right for you!"

He walked to the lake on the other side of the street, pointed to the lower left and said, "Look over there, the ground there is low, there are a few very suitable large stone slabs, people in this area basically wash their clothes there, come to your store to buy a piece of soap to wash, it's very suitable!"

"Uncle, only a few families use soap to wash clothes. Most people buy it to wash their hands and faces at home. Those who can afford to use soap to wash clothes have wells in their houses, so there is no need to go to the river to wash clothes."

Fang Yazi had not expected her brain to work so quickly, and could not fool her at all. She said awkwardly, "It would be very convenient for those who wash clothes to buy a soap to wash their faces and hands when they go back home."

"They are very convenient, but if we only sell our pancreas to these people, how can our business make money?" Song Ying retorted expressionlessly. Now he had no intention of maintaining the harmonious atmosphere at all.

Those who come here to wash clothes are all from nearby families, and some of them don't even buy soap. The customer base is too small.

"Haha, now that we're here, let's go take a look inside first." Fang Yazi held on to his last hope, "The location of this shop is indeed a bit bad, but the interior is not bad. There's a two-story building in the back. The shop can be opened in the front and people can live in the back. It's very comfortable!"

After all, this was Si Cheng's brother-in-law. Although they were very dissatisfied, Song Ying and others still followed him inside to take a look.

Fang Yazi took out the key and opened the door.

Fortunately, the shop faces south and although the apricot tree outside blocks some of the sunlight, it is midday and the sun is bright inside the shop.

Fang Yazi was very good at observing people's expressions and said quickly, "Isn't it very good inside? This house facing south is not bad. Look at this room, the left side is bright and the right side is cool. If there are things that can't be exposed to the sun, put them on the right side, and those that are not afraid of the sun can be put on the left side. How nice! And this decoration, this layout, look at it, how grand!"

Song Ying and the other two had already seen his eloquence, so they were not too tempted by it. The tables, chairs, and shelves in the shop would be moved away by the owner later, and even if they were not moved away, they would not be able to use them, so they still had to buy new ones.

Once these things are moved away, the house will be empty and there will be nothing left of the so-called decoration.

Seeing their expressions, Fang Yazi felt a little discouraged. "Let's go and take a look at the back."

When the back door of the shop is opened, you will see a very quiet patio paved with large smooth stone slabs. There is some lush green grass between the cracks of the slabs, and drainage ditches have been dug on all four sides.

There is a well in the center of the patio, and the edges of the well are covered with moss, except for the two directions where people often go to fetch water.

There is a two-story building behind the patio, with two side rooms on the left and right. Two ear rooms are built on the side of the building close to the side of the building. However, only the left ear room is covered with green tiles like the other houses, while the right ear room is a thatched house covered with wheat straw, so it should be a thatched house.

Song Ying was fine as the small courtyard he lived in at Shen's mansion was fine. However, Luo Yanxing was immediately attracted to it as it was ten or a hundred times better than his home.

She immediately leaned close to Song Ying's ear and whispered, "I like this place so much. Let's choose this one. I have never lived in a building before. The two of us will live on the second floor, and your second aunt will live on the first floor."

Song Ying: “…”

They mainly run a shop to sell soap. The house with a shop is much more expensive than an ordinary house!

"There's also a well, this is too good to be true, it's like the place where gods live!" Luo Yanxing was extremely excited.

There was only one well in Xinghua Village, which was quite far from her home. Although they were too young to fetch water, when the adults were too tired to move, they would be asked to carry buckets or backpacks to fetch back a bucket.

The feeling is not so bad in summer, but in winter the water would wet your back and it would be freezing cold.

Not only is this house located by the river, there is also a well in the yard. How convenient it will be to use water in the future!

She acted so moved that Fang Yazi didn't know what they said, but seeing her expression showed that she wanted it, he immediately rekindled his hope, "This house is nice, quiet and pleasant, quiet in a bustling place. There is also a small door next to the small building, which leads to a small alley.

On the other side is a large house with three entrances in Wencheng Lane, where lives the family of Inspector Tang from the Inspection Office. They are ninth-rank officials, which is a legitimate official position, so you don't have to worry about safety issues. No thief would be so blind as to come here to steal.

Besides, the side close to you is his back room used to accommodate guests. Usually there are not many people here, so it won’t disturb your rest.”

As an ordinary citizen with no power or influence, Song Ying wanted to stay away from these officials. She did not think it was safer to live next door to an official. In her opinion, many threats were brought by these officials. If they were visited by petty thieves, she could report them to the government. If she was bullied by these officials, she would have nowhere to turn to.

She frowned and said, "We want to buy a shop, and the place to live is just a by-product. This location is really not good."

These words were said both to Fang Yazi and to Luo Yanxing.

Although Luo Yanxing really liked the small building, he gave up after hearing what Song Ying said and said, "Aren't there other suitable ones? Take us to see other ones."

Fang Yazi had no choice but to take them to other shops.

After looking at several places in a row, Song Ying and the other two finally settled on a small shop on Binhu Street next to Renhe Street. The shop was very small, and the so-called house at the back was also very small, just a tiny room, separated from the shop in front by a wall.

This cannot be considered a small courtyard. It is clearly separated from the same house, with a shop in the front and people living in the back.

Seeing the dissatisfaction of Song Ying and the other two, Fang Yazi explained, "There is nothing we can do about it. This place is right next to Renhe Street, and every inch of land is valuable. We can't waste space to build a courtyard. It's already very difficult to separate a place like this for people to live in."
