Chapter 2207 on
The young man thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the inn."
Man Bao and the others immediately pulled up their horses and followed him, while Bai Shan stopped a guard and whispered: "Go and tell Nie Canjun to stay here at the intersection for a while, and we will arrange a place to stay first.
"
The guard should come down.
The young man led them into the street. The houses here were different from those in the Central Plains, and the appearance of the people was also slightly different, not to mention the clothes and jewelry.
When people on both sides of the street saw that Zhou Man and the others were accompanied by a young man, they looked at the young man with envy and regret, but did not gather around to recommend their residence as they did at the street entrance.
The further you go, the higher the houses are, the bigger the doors are, and there are more shops on both sides.
Man Bao found that many shops here were equipped with wolf skins, melons, fruits and brightly colored cloths.
Seeing her curiosity, the young man said enthusiastically: "This is our cloth. It is very beautiful. I also have it at home. If you want to buy it, miss, I can sell it to you cheaper."
Man Bao smiled and said: "Let's take a look first. You have quite a few shops here. Are you selling to your own people or to passing merchants?"
"I also buy it, and so do the passing merchants. Our fabrics are very good and breathable."
Man Bao then decided to look back.
The young man turned them into an alley, and after passing through there was a larger road, right by the lake.
The flowers and plants beside the lake are luxuriant, butterflies are flying, and the breeze blows, and the heat of the afternoon dissipates.
Man Bao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked him, "How many big inns do you have here?"
When the young man knew that they would not live in his own home, he did not hide it. He said honestly: "There are two families, one is here and the other is over there. They are not very far apart and the location is the best."
Man Bao: “Is accommodation expensive?”
The young man laughed: "Do you still care about money?"
Man Bao nodded and said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to go home, and I will have to stay and work to earn money for steamed buns."
This sentence made him laugh. The young man burst out laughing, and then said to Man Bao, "No way."
After finishing speaking, he said: "There are few guests now and the room rate is not high. Just tell the boss that it's cheaper. If it's not cheaper, go and stay elsewhere. He will definitely be willing to get a cheaper price."
When the young man said this, he said in gibberish, "That money-grubbing man Ale will not let anyone go into his shop."
Man Bao couldn't hear the accented Hu language very clearly, but Zhou Liru understood it and whispered in his sister-in-law's ear.
Manbao raised his eyebrows, knowing it in his heart.
After walking for a long time, the young man finally stopped at the door of an inn with a tall lantern. Before he entered, he started drinking loudly and greeted the people inside loudly in gibberish, "Al, I'll bring you a guest."
Already."
Man Bao and the others knew that he wanted to make money from both ends, so they didn't mind such behavior.
A middle-aged man with a mustache came out quickly, looked at Bai Shan and Zhou Man with a smile, and enthusiastically invited them to sit down, "Dear guests, do you want to stay in the hospital or live in a room?"
?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Shan asked, "Do you still have a yard?"
"Yes, yes," Al smiled and pointed to the back and said, "The courtyard in the row at the back and the row on the left belong to my house. I see that the guests are distinguished, and maybe they want to stay in the courtyard."
Bai Shan then looked at Man Bao, "Do you want to stay in the hospital?"
A single-family house is naturally much more comfortable.
Man Bao asked: "How much does one yard cost?"
Al then looked at Zhou Man and replied seriously: "Do the guests want to stay for a short time or a long time? If they want to stay for a long time, they only need two taels of silver or a piece of silk to stay for a month."
This price is comparable to that in Beijing.
Man Bao asked: "What if it's a short stay?"
"It costs one hundred and twenty cents a day, but our restaurant does not cover water and firewood. The ladies and gentlemen have to instruct their servants to provide for them themselves."
Man Bao: "Where's the upper room?"
"It costs sixty cents a day to live in a house. In addition to not having enough food, adults can make tea or take a bath for free." Al smiled and said, "To be fair, Miss, this is the only place where there are few people in this town."
The price, when there are many people, we pay 80 cents a day for a room, and the yard is not rented unless you are a long-term resident, and it costs 30 taels a month."
It sounds much cheaper than the inn they stayed at when they entered the desert, but...
Manbao and the others looked outside and saw that there were all kinds of shops outside, and of course there were inns, not to mention there were so many people in this town who wanted to rent out houses.
The former is a separate business, but not here.
Man Bao asked: "How many rooms are there in a courtyard?"
Ale introduced them to them in detail: "The yards are all similar, with one big room, a main room, two small rooms, and then there is a stable and a kitchen."
Man Bao blinked, "It's gone?"
Al spread his hands: "No more."
Oh, the rent is more expensive than in Beijing.
Several people offered to look at the house.
Al then led them to see it with a smile. After looking around at them, he said with a smile: "Two courtyards are enough for the gentlemen and ladies. They can come and stay in our inn."
I'm talking about Daji's guards.
However, when they are away from home, how can they stay alone and let the guards live in another place? Who knows whether they will be robbed at night?
The courtyard is behind the inn, and there is a long alley that goes down to their courtyard.
The yard is not big, half smaller than the yard where Man Bao lives in his own home. There are two rooms in the middle, one is the main room, which extends into a small room, and the other side is the master bedroom, and there are two rows of houses below.
There are two rooms in a row, the ones on the left are guest rooms, which are not big, and the ones on the right are the kitchen and bathhouse. It gets very cold here when the weather is cold, and the bathhouses are specially built.
There are open spaces on both sides of the yard for carriages and stables.
It's small, but has all the necessary features.
But it's too small.
After looking at the room, Man Bao asked the shopkeeper, "Isn't there any bigger one?"
Al was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes, there is, but it's more expensive."
Bai Shandao: "Show us."
The larger courtyard is in a better location. It is in the same row as the inn and is built facing the lake. The courtyard in this row is relatively large. There are three main rooms, the main room in the middle, two rows of rooms at the bottom, and three rooms on one side.
There are four rooms for people to live in. The best thing is that there is a second floor.
In addition to the attic, there are four rooms on the second floor above the main house, all of which can be occupied.
Al looked at their expressions and said with a smile: "The courtyard in this row is very expensive. It costs five taels of silver to rent a month. If you stay for a short period, it will cost four hundred coins a night..."
Bai Shan waved to Daji who was behind him, "Come on, bargain with him."
Daji:……
The guards are a little frustrated, they just want to kill people, why do they still have to do administrative work?
But they had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running around. Bai Shan and the others just moved away and the guards surrounded them and negotiated the price with the shopkeeper.
