Little Ahua, Old Man Liu and Zhang Hengsheng were also at a loss for the unfamiliar city.
They all looked at Lu Ning eagerly.
Different from their confusion, Lu Ning, who had money at his side, naturally had already thought about it.
Lu Ning led three people and followed the large army into Daxing City.
Daxing City is indeed a big city in the city, with towering city walls and majestic atmosphere, comparable to the Forbidden City.
Moreover, there are a lot of people coming and going on the street, and it is a peaceful scene.
The most numerous people were cart drivers and walking victims.
Some wealthy people would also ride horse-drawn carriages or even cars.
In addition to these, a group of guards with guns patrolled by from time to time.
Lu Ning first took them to the city for a meal of pasta. Along the way, they only ate some peanuts, and by now their stomachs were already empty.
“How much does a bowl of some noodles cost?”
"A penny a bowl."
A bowl of somen noodles only costs a penny, which is very cheap.
The soup buns I had in Dafeng County cost a dime, so I must have been ripped off.
Lu Ning also had a bowl.
After eating, he took out three cents from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.
"Lao Liu, Ah Sheng, you two go and inquire around the area to see who has a house for sale."
"Mr. Lu, are you planning to buy a house here?" Old Liu was shocked.
Buying a house in the prosperous Daxing City will cost a lot of money.
"You should have a place to live. Since you are following me, I can't let you sleep on the street." Lu Ning said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, let's go and inquire for you right now." Zhang Hengsheng said and was about to leave.
"Don't get lost, we'll meet you here later."
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
Zhang Hengsheng and Old Man Liu nodded, each pointed in a direction, and slowly disappeared around the corner.
Lu Ning took Ahua's little hand and began to wander on the street.
"Baozi, Baozi, hot buns."
"Would you like to take a ride?"
Everything here was full of novelty for Lu Ning.
"Candied haws on a stick, candied haws on a stick."
Seeing candied haws on sale, Lu Ning also bought a bunch for Ahua.
Ah Hua, who had never eaten candied haws, licked the rock candy on it with her little tongue, smiling like a flower.
the other side.
On a mountain road.
An Yanguang, who had just returned from Nanyang, was robbed by bandits.
"Hahahaha, you kid, I knew you came back from Nanyang as soon as I saw you. You are dressed so conspicuously. Why, are you afraid that my brothers won't see you?"
One of the robbers held him at gunpoint while the other kept rummaging through his things.
"It's great, there are so many oceans and there are big goldfish."
"For the sake of giving so much money to these gentlemen, get out of here."
An Yanguang's luggage and money were all stolen by bandits.
Even his good clothes were stripped away, and he still picked up some tattered clothes on the roadside to wear.
Fortunately, the bandits spared his life.
He was hungry for several days and finally made it to Daxing City, but now he was penniless and he was afraid he would starve to death in a few days.
"Hello, do you know where I can buy a house?"
"Yes, my husband sells houses."
"How much is this."
"Three thousand dollars."
"It's too expensive. It's too expensive."
"Humph, of course you can't afford it if you're wearing this."
Suddenly, An Yanguang saw someone over there who wanted to buy a house.
He suddenly felt as if he had grasped a straw.
"I have a house, I have a house."
An Yanguang came to Zhang Hengsheng and promoted himself.
Zhang Hengsheng looked at An Yanguang and said doubtfully: "You have a house."
"I have it, I have it, but it's not in Daxing City, it's in the town."
"Town? Far away?"
"Not far, not far."
In fact, it's quite far away, but the current An Yanguang will naturally not tell the truth.
"How much?"
"A large courtyard house with 32 rooms in three rooms only costs 1,500 yuan."
"Fifteen hundred dollars, hey, it's still very expensive. Is there anything cheaper?"
"Yes, yes, an ordinary small courtyard house only costs 300 yuan, do you think it's worth it?" An Yanguang's family has some property.
His words moved Zhang Hengsheng's heart.
He just asked a lot of people, but they all asked for very high prices.
It's either five thousand yuan or three thousand yuan, which is a sky-high price for him.
The most money he had ever seen before was only ten dollars.
Although he did not underestimate Lu Ning, he still felt that Lu Ning could not afford it. After all, Lu Ning's clothes were quite ordinary.
"I'm asking on behalf of my master. How about you and I go meet my master and see if he is willing to buy it?"
"Okay, okay." An Yanguang nodded.
So Zhang Hengsheng took An Yanguang to the agreed place.
After waiting for a while, Lu Ning came over with A Hua in hand.
Ahua hasn't finished eating the candied haws in her hand yet. She seems reluctant to finish it all at once and wants to eat slowly.
"Mr. Lu, he said he has houses for sale, large and small courtyards." Zhang Hengsheng pointed at An Yanguang and said to Lu Ning.
"How much?"
"The big courtyard with 32 rooms only costs NT$1,500, and the small courtyard only costs NT$300. Do you think it's okay?" An Yanguang said with some anxiety.
"Are you selling it yourself, or are you selling it for your master?"
"I sell it myself, to be honest. Don't look at me dressed like this. In fact, I just came back from Nanyang. Unexpectedly, I met a robber on the road. Now I am penniless.
My home is in Yuntai Town, Xingtai County, which is very close to here. As long as you help me send it back, I will sell my house to you at a cheap price. "
"This is already the cheapest. You should have all inquired about it just now. The cheapest house here costs 3,000 yuan."
It was indeed as he said. Lu Ning also made some inquiries just now.
Housing prices here are astonishingly expensive.
It seems that because of the influx of disaster victims, some people are willing to raise prices and decide whether to buy or not.
Even an ordinary courtyard house costs a thousand yuan.
The cash Lu Ning got from Mr. Huang was only over 100 yuan. A small gold bar could be exchanged for about 30 yuan, and a large gold bar could be exchanged for about 300 yuan.
Not counting jewelry, Lu Ning only had 1,350 yuan on hand.
Moreover, he planned to use the gold bars to charge the bracelet, so use as little as possible.
Anyway, wherever you live, you can live.
What he has to do now is to provide Ahua and the others with a place to stay as soon as possible to ensure their safety.
This way he can leave with peace of mind.
And if I come back next time, it will be a good place to stay.
After final discussion, An Yanguang agreed to Lu Ning. The big one was willing to sell it to Lu Ning for 1,000 yuan. If Lu Ning wanted the small one, it would only cost 200 yuan.
However, Lu Ning had to promise to send him home and pay for the expenses along the way.
After discussing it here, Old Man Liu just came back.
He sighed repeatedly: "It's too expensive, too expensive."
He kept shaking his head as he spoke.
The housing prices here have overwhelmed his inner defense as a small farmer in the village.
In his village, five yuan can buy a big buffalo, and twenty yuan can buy a good house.
Five thousand yuan, he will never make that much money in his life.
Lu Ning smiled at this, comforted him a few words, and said, "I've already planned to buy his house, but it's not here, it's in a town in the county."
"How much?" Old Man Liu asked hurriedly.
"Three rooms with 32 rooms cost 1,000 yuan, and an ordinary courtyard house costs 200 yuan."
"It's still very expensive."
If Old Man Liu is asked to buy it, he will definitely refuse.
But now it was Lu Ning who made the decision, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"Since you agreed, can you take me to have a meal first? I've been hungry for several days."
"Can."
----------
In a car, Lu Ning, Ahua, Zhang Hengsheng, and An Yanguang were sitting in the back seat. Old Liu and the driver were sitting in the front seat.
On the car, Ahua and Zhang Hengsheng were excited and nervous as it was their first time making a car.
They just heard An Yanguang discussing the price with the driver. An hour in the city cost five yuan, but out of the city it cost six yuan.
too expensive.
The money was paid by Mr. Lu, which made Old Liu feel distressed.
"I think your conversation, brother, is extraordinary. You don't look like ordinary people." In the car, An Yanguang, who had eaten a full meal, started chatting with Lu Ning.
Lu Ning did not refuse the act of riding in the car just now, and when he heard six yuan, he did not even frown. This made An Yanguang, who had returned from Nanyang, take another high look.
Although Lu Ning had gray on his face and was wearing ordinary clothes.
But he was tall, handsome, and exuded a sense of luxury from time to time. He could still see the difference between Lu Ning and others.
Moreover, Old Man Liu and Zhang Hengsheng kept calling Master Lu Ning, which made him feel that Lu Ning was extraordinary.
"Actually, I'm just like you. I just came back from Nanyang. But I originally lived in Zhongzhou Province. Isn't there a drought there now? I just came here." Lu Ning explained.
"It turns out that brother, you are also from Nanyang. What a coincidence."
An Yanguang immediately felt as if he had met a confidant, and the look in his eyes at Lu Ning was different.
"But your clothes don't match your status."
"There are so many refugees now, and they are too dressed up to be safe."
Speaking of being unsafe, An Yanguang immediately burst into tears.
"You're right, I was dressed too much like I came back from Nanyang, so I was robbed by bandits on the way." Speaking of the robbery, An Yanguang sighed again.
The world is really unsafe right now.
"My name is An Yanguang. I wonder what your name is, brother?"
"My name is Lu Ning."
Next, An Yanguang wanted to test Lu Ning and even started chatting with him in English.
But obviously, An Yanguang failed miserably.
He admired Lu Ning more and more, feeling that Lu Ning's family's property must be bigger than his family's.
