One day later, Batu came to the small courtyard happily. As soon as he saw Lin Pingan, he shouted:
"I've already scouted the house for you. It's on Bawang Street in Shengjing. How about we go take a look?"
Lin Ping'an didn't expect Batu to be so efficient at work, so he immediately picked up Lin Wan'er and followed Batu out of the small courtyard.
Bawang Street is located in the prosperous area of Shengjing. The street name comes from the Eight Kings in Manchu mythology. The house that Batu is optimistic about not only faces the street, but is also a large house with three entrances and three exits.
Lin Ping'an looked at the stone lions squatting on the left and right in front of the house gate. He couldn't help but secretly gasped and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Batu, are you mistaken? I'm afraid I can't afford this house."
The shopkeeper of Yahang who was following him couldn't help but frown a little when he heard this.
Yesterday, when Batu went to the dental shop, he just said he wanted a big house. He thought it was some rich man or noble person who wanted to buy it. But now he saw that he was just a teenager.
"Is this guy full and okay? Is he entertaining me here?"
He muttered in his heart, looking Lin Ping'an up and down, his eyes full of suspicion.
Hearing Lin Pingan's words, Batu patted Lin Pingan and said with a smile:
"I saw it yesterday. If the package of things Dorgon gave you was all converted into silver, it would cost several thousand taels. It would be no problem at all for a mere house."
This guy's eyes are really thieves... Lin Ping'an choked, and when the shopkeeper of Yahang unlocked the door, he followed him in.
"This mansion originally belonged to a wealthy businessman in Suzhou. Because he was old and returned to his hometown a while ago, he left this mansion with me."
As the shopkeeper of Yahang spoke, he pointed to the spacious courtyard in front of him.
To be honest, Lin Ping'an fell in love with this house at first sight. It has three entrances and three exits. Not only is it large enough, but the decoration style is completely in the typical Suzhou garden style. The furniture inside is all available, making it a move-in type. .
The shopkeeper of Yahang observed Lin Ping'an's affection at a glance and said with a smile:
"This house faces the street, so it's perfect if you want to do some business. Several customers have come to see it recently, but they're just stuck on the price and haven't reached an agreement yet."
Lin Ping'an tugged on Batu's sleeve and asked, "How much money does this house cost?"
Batu held out three fingers and said, "Three thousand taels."
"So expensive?"
Lin Ping'an suddenly felt a pain in his heart when he thought about his monthly salary of five taels of silver at Tai Hospital.
"Three thousand miles is more than fair."
The shopkeeper of Yahang turned around and said, "If the wealthy businessman hadn't been in a hurry to return to his hometown, he wouldn't have been able to get even five thousand taels of this house."
Lin Wan'er looked at everything in front of her, pulled the corner of Lin Ping'an's clothes, and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, are we moving in here again?"
Lin Pingan nodded, held Lin Wan'er in his arms and asked, "How is it? Does Wan'er like it here?"
"like."
Lin Wan'er nodded and said with her eyes wide open, full of curiosity and joy.
Batu glared at Lin Ping'an and his two siblings, thinking that they were indeed half-grown children who didn't even understand the common sense of business discussions.
So he stretched out two fingers towards the shopkeeper of Yahang: "Two thousand taels!"
The shopkeeper of Yahang waved his hands repeatedly and flatly refused: "Impossible, this price is already the lowest."
After saying this, he walked out, feeling even more angry, feeling that the people in front of him were just making fun of him.
Lin Pingan was about to speak, but Batu shook his head at him, so he swallowed the words in his mouth.
In fact, he has now figured it out. He came to this world inexplicably, so how should he live like this?
Since you don’t want to change history like the protagonists of previous time-travel novels, then just be a big idle fish with no worries about food and clothing.
What are you using the money for?
Isn’t it just for enjoyment?
As long as he is good and Wan'er is good, everything will be fine. As for whether he can earn money, Lin Pingan said that he has enough confidence.
If a modern time traveler couldn't make money in ancient times, it would be better to crash to death!
Batu took a few steps forward, grabbed the shopkeeper of Yahang, and asked with a mysterious face:
"Shopkeeper, do you know who he is?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and thought, does it matter?
"Then do you know Azig and Dorgon?"
Batu asked next.
This time the shopkeeper nodded immediately: "Who doesn't know Azig? He is our Manchu warrior."
Upon hearing this, Batu showed an unpredictable expression on his face, "Then let me tell you, that young master is the sworn brother of Azig and Dorgon."
The shopkeeper was immediately taken aback, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and hesitantly said:
"No way. Azig's only brothers are Dorgon and Duduo. Everyone knows this. When did there be such a Han brother?"
"You don't know that."
Batu said proudly: "We just became sworn brothers a few days ago, and the money to buy the house was given to him by Dorgon."
The shopkeeper of Yahang looked at Batu with a confident look on his face and was a little doubtful. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "In this case, two thousand eight hundred taels cannot be less!"
"Two thousand five hundred taels."
Batu counter-offered and said mysteriously again: "That young master is a miracle doctor. He just saved Dorgon a few days ago. He will also open a clinic in this house. If you make it convenient, you will benefit from it in the future. "
The news that the medicine god appeared and saved the dying Dorgon had long been spread throughout Shengjing, so when the shopkeeper of Yahang heard this, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
He came to Lin Ping'an in a few steps, bowed and saluted, "I, Shen Laicai, have met this young gentleman."
Lin Ping'an was a little surprised. He didn't know what Batu said to the other party. Why was he so respectful to him all of a sudden?
Shen Laicai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said to Lin Ping'an: "Let me tell you the truth, the minimum price for this house is two thousand five hundred taels, which was the price set by the wealthy businessman. As for my dental shop, I didn't take any money." .”
Lin Ping'an nodded, "Then two thousand eight hundred taels. I can't let your hard work go in vain."
Shen Laicai waved his hands repeatedly and said he would only accept two thousand five hundred taels, but in his heart he thought highly of the young man in front of him.
Lin Pingan was helpless and had to accept Shen Laicai's kindness.
After negotiating the price, Lin Ping'an returned to the small courtyard and exchanged all the bills with Batu in the city. Then he came to Yahang, paid the money with one hand, and took the land deed with the other.
When the two of them walked out of the tooth shop, Batu asked, "What are your plans for the next few days, sir?"
Lin Ping'an was stunned, "Aren't you going to work in Tai Hospital?"
Batu thought for a while, then shook his head and said:
"Let me tell you the truth, sir. In fact, the only reason you are admitted to Tai Hospital is to teach you the art of blood transfusion. Apart from this, you don't have to do anything else."
"You mean that as long as I teach you the blood transfusion method, you won't have to go to the hospital every day, and you will still have a salary of five taels of silver every month?"
"exactly."
Batu nodded: "So I have already thought about it for you. Your house is right on the street. You might as well open a clinic. Although Dorgon has given you enough money, your brother and sister will have to stay in Shengjing for a long time. In life, you still need to have a stable livelihood.”
Lin Ping'an didn't expect Batu to be so enthusiastic and even consider his future life. He couldn't help but feel a little moved. The package of gold and silver jewelry that Dorgon gave him was exchanged for a total of one thousand and sixty taels of silver notes. At this moment, there were still several thousand left. Two, it can be used to open a clinic.
So he nodded, a little funny at the same time. He didn't expect that his first job after traveling to the Ming Dynasty would be able to fish.
Moreover, he also has the title of working in a Tai Hospital, which makes it much easier to practice medicine.
