Chapter 9 009 House
Chapter 9 009. House
"Fried buns!"
"Carp, lively carp!"
The Qingcheng Fair was crowded with people, and there were people everywhere.
Meat stalls, vegetable stalls, spice shops...
There were also stalls with pots cooking meat, and the fragrance spread all over half the street!
The Qingcheng Fair, which was held twice a month, attracted merchants from the entire county and even neighboring counties, as well as people from surrounding villages. Today, it has shown its strong vitality.
Next to the leather stall in Liujia Village, there was another stall selling rare treasures.
There were very few items on it, only a few pieces, but it attracted a large number of people to watch.
Chen Dachui and Lao Liu, and most of the people in Liujia Village stood behind Ren Pingsheng, watching the onlookers vigilantly, so that only Liu Qiang and Wang Qiqi were selling at the leather stall.
"What kind of mirror is this? How can it be so clear!"
"And this flint, it's too delicate!"
"How did this porcelain vase get this glaze? How can it be so beautiful? It's purer than the sky and more elegant than an orchid."
Some people stared at the picture of the beauty and couldn't help asking, "Is this a fairy?"
The ancient costume beauty picture with PS blessing, smooth skin, thin face and big eyes, a pile of shit can be transformed into a peerless beauty. In this picture, the foxy face is fairy and lustful, which is beyond the understanding and imagination of these country bumpkins who have never seen post-production refinement.
However, although the stalls are lively, there are more people looking, fewer questions, and no one buying.
Obviously, selling these things at the fair is still far beyond the purchasing power of these people.
However, the news that treasures appeared in the Qingcheng Fair was still spread by these people. It was not until noon, at one o'clock in the afternoon, that real buyers arrived.
Ren Pingsheng did not bargain with them, and always refused on the grounds that his family collected unique pieces and it would be unfilial to sell them at a low price.
Those buyers had never seen such rare treasures before, and they felt that these treasures were priceless. If they were sold in the county capital, the provincial capital, or in the prosperous Jiangnan area, they would definitely be worth more than this price.
Look at the mirror, which can clearly reflect people's figures. Some people have never seen their own appearance so clearly.
Especially those who are handsome, they think that this mirror is priceless.
Look at the flint, just a light touch will produce a cluster of flames, and when it is gently shaken, you can clearly see the transparent liquid shaking inside, which is simply ingenious!
Look at the beauty, if it is not a fairy from heaven, how can a mortal look like this!
Even a porcelain bottle looks no worse than the fine products fired in the official kiln.
In the end,
the chrome-plated bauhinia pattern mirror and the one-yuan lighter were bought by the steward of a wealthy merchant in Qingcheng Town for 200 taels of silver and 80 taels of silver respectively. It is said that this wealthy merchant has a background in maritime merchants and has someone supporting him in the court.
The painting of a beauty named "celestial being" by Ren Pingsheng was bought by the son of the Wu family business gang in Qingshui County for 120 taels of silver. He also bought the sunny porcelain vase with a price tag of 10 taels of silver. The son looked at the painting of a beauty with a straight look in his eyes, as if he wanted to get into the painting.
Both buyers had a mentality of taking advantage. They paid the silver, bowed and said goodbye to Ren Pingsheng, and then left in a hurry.
After selling a few things, they closed the stall immediately.
With 410 taels of silver and a dozen silver ingots of various sizes, weighing more than 30 kilograms.
The purchasing power of this silver is about equivalent to 400,000 or 500,000 on Earth.
An average family only needs 20 to 30 taels of silver to live in a year. According to the average life expectancy of people here, these more than 400 taels of silver are enough for a family to live for half a lifetime.
With such a huge sum of money in his arms, there are naturally more malicious eyes in the crowd.
However, Ren Pingsheng had many people on his side, all armed with knives and sticks, so no one dared to make plans here. But on the way back, he didn't know if he would encounter bandits.
"Brother Ren, Brother Ren!"
Liu Shu ran over.
After breakfast in the morning, Ren Pingsheng sent him out to find a house.
As he ran, he shouted, "I found a broker. There are four houses on auction in the town. I asked the broker to take me to see them. There are two that meet your idea.
One has two courtyards, and one has three courtyards."
The people who were staring at this side just now dimmed their malicious eyes when they heard about buying a house.
They still have some ideas about floating wealth such as silver. If this is replaced by real estate, they will have no chance.
Ren Pingsheng glanced at the side. The furs have not been sold out, but there are not many left.
Seeing Ren Pingsheng looking at him, Liu Qiang said, "I haven't sold all the houses here yet. I'll sell them soon. I'll be there soon, sir.
Besides, buying a house is a big deal. Please look around. If it's not suitable, let Lao Liu and Wang Qiqi go back first. I'll accompany you to look tomorrow."
Ren Pingsheng had saved his life, and Liu Qiang always remembered it in his heart. Naturally, he didn't want to embarrass Ren Pingsheng.
"Okay."
Ren Pingsheng nodded to him and called Chen Dachui again.
When the three of them left the market, they saw a man who looked to be in his thirties, with two mustaches and a slightly vulgar temperament standing there. When he saw Liu Shu, he immediately trotted over.
"It's this Mr. Ren who wants to buy a house, but Mr. Ren has high standards. If you dare to fool us, we'll skin you alive!"
Liu Shu waved his hand and said directly.
"How dare I? We do business, but we have a clear price tag. We only make reputation but not money, hehe~"
When the man with the mustache saw Ren Pingsheng, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This delicate and tall man looked like a nobleman who had never lacked food and clothing since childhood. Although he didn't know why he bought a house in Qingcheng Town, he didn't care and didn't have the curiosity. As long as he made money, it was enough.
But Ren Pingsheng was a little unsure when he saw the mustache's mercenary look. He had heard that the innkeepers should be killed even if they were innocent, especially the innkeepers. There were many who raised the price and killed people for money.
He patted Chen Dachui gently. Chen Dachui scratched his head, then stretched out his hand and pressed on the mustache's shoulder.
The mustache immediately felt a huge force pressing on him, almost making him kneel down.
The man with the mustache immediately begged for mercy with his teeth bared: "Master, please let go. I am just a clerk. I really only make money by running errands. I really dare not cheat you of your money!"
"Let go."
Ren Pingsheng spoke, and Chen Dachui took his hand.
Now, the man with the mustache felt timid and dared not to be slick anymore. He spoke more carefully.
"Tell me, how many rooms are there in the two courtyards we just saw?"
Ren Pingsheng asked as the mustache led the way.
"Master, there are 22 rooms in the second courtyard and 42 rooms in the third courtyard..."
"Let's talk about the third courtyard first."
"There are 7 rooms in the front courtyard, 6 rooms in the east and west wing rooms in the middle courtyard, 5 main rooms, 4 rooms in the left and right side rooms, 14 rooms in the backyard, and 6 rooms in the east and west wing rooms, which add up to 42 rooms..."
The mustache introduced skillfully, looking very professional.
His patience was no worse than those of real estate agents on Earth, which changed Ren Pingsheng's opinion of him.
While he was introducing the place, the group arrived at the third courtyard.
