Chapter 32
The layout of the yard of Tofu Xishi is very unreasonable. No wonder it depends on Meng Dutou to rent it out.
In other words, this house is not far from the power center of the city. The three or four streets look like a quiet place. The noisy cross streets scattered in a cross shape along the government office, and there are all kinds of shops on the four main streets in the southeast, west and north. The house of Tofu Xishi is located in the side alley at the end of the West Street, making it quiet place in the middle. It is most suitable for officials to rent it. However, the layout of this house is designed according to the layout of the Mule and Horse Shop. It has a large courtyard and many houses. It cannot afford to rent it in small doors. Even if it is barely rented, there are so many houses that cannot be used. The wealthy families... They will definitely think that the layout of the room is unreasonable and cannot show the upper and lower ranks of rented.
Therefore, the house is often empty, so I have to use "aggressive love" to hook up with Mengdu, so I can rent it out.
This yard is located in the second entrance of the alley. From the entrance of the alley, the first courtyard is Gu Ersao's Gu's house. The only layout of Gu's house on the whole street is the same as this tofu shop, which spans two streets and has a pattern of front and back yards. The front and back yard doors are in different alleys.
The front shop of Gu's house has been rented out to be a Bimo shop, and the backyard is lived by the Gu family themselves. Now Gu Ersao's man has passed away, his two sons are adults, his eldest son is married to Liu, and his youngest son is at the age of marriage.
The yard of Tofu Xishi is long. In the yard, a row of "L"-shaped houses are built about three-fifths of the overall width. The vertical direction of this "L"-shaped house has seven wing rooms, and turn over it to a row of fifteen long suites. No matter what direction the house is, the layout is almost the same, and they are composed of two rooms, one light and one dark, with a bedroom inside and a small room with functions as a dining room, a living room, and a reception room.
All these houses are built at the end of the "L" layout and at the end of the fifteen houses. The interior area is slightly larger and can be used as a public restaurant for tourists, but it is not too big?
At a vertical angle opposite to the long section of the "L" layout, several utility rooms, charcoal rooms, kitchens, storage rooms, and concierges are built on the street of the entire courtyard, connected in a row, next to the back door of the entire courtyard. On the other side of this door, opposite to the house are several sheds - if a row of mangers is added, it is a standard livestock shed, then the courtyard will immediately turn into a mule and horse shop.
Tofu Xishi and Guzhai are the largest houses on these two streets. Apart from this, the other houses are not as wide as the depth. Most of them are civilian huts that occupy only half the street depth. The gates either face Tofu Lane, that is, tofu shops; or the front doors face Tofu Lane, that is, tofu shops; or the front doors face Tofu Lane, that is, tofu shops; the former is mostly street-facing shops, while the latter is mostly homes. This creates a prosperous front alley and a deserted back alley.
Shi Chuan and others rented the former Mule and Horse Shop. There was originally an open space behind the main house, which could build a back garden or a leisure area for guests to relax. However, after building a wall to divide it into two, a tofu shop was separated from a courtyard and opened. Therefore, the backyard seemed very cramped, leaving only about ten meters wide, and was divided into two small courtyards, making the space even more cramped.
The courtyard behind is divided into two east and west. The west courtyard is slightly smaller and the east span is very long. The courtyard is connected to the tofu shop in Tofu Xishi. There is a well inside, which is the sweet water well that Tofu Xishi is proud of. In order to protect this well, a pavilion was specially built at the wellhead. The ground in the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs. The small door leading to the tofu shop in the west courtyard is locked all year round. Only every morning, Tofu Xishi will open the small door and come to pick up water to grind the tofu.
At the same time, the small door leading to the east cross-yard is a simple water bottle-shaped portal, which is open all day long to facilitate everyone to enter and exit at any time.
The East Cross Courtyard is very long, but Tofu Xishi's mind is in the West Courtyard, so she doesn't have the heart to work hard on the East Cross Courtyard. The entire East Cross Courtyard is bare, and there is nothing else except a few wooden stakes on the ground. If these wooden stakes are wrapped with a rope, it is probably the place to dry clothes.
Shi Chuan spent the whole night in the store last night. However, Huang E and Huan Niang’s later small actions made him not plan to continue to get along in the store. He planned to move back to the main courtyard to live. The row of utility rooms facing the street in the main courtyard was his ideal choice... It was just that the girls’ embarrassing situation in the morning, which made Shi Chuan a little trouble.
In the Song Dynasty, it was extremely inconvenient to go to the toilet. People usually put a large wooden barrel in the house, and the feces and urine were solved. Every morning, there were feces and workers - they called "Shock Night Scent", which specially provided door-to-door services.
This service is charged and hereditary. Every "night fragrance" person is a monarch-like figure for the residents. They collect good feces from streets in the morning and will sell them to farmers for fertilizer fields. Of course, they also charge residents. The behavior of collecting money on both sides has benefited a lot from this profession, so that there are special families for feces. They each divided several streets and did not allow others to interfere in the "smoking and urine major".
Now the yard is full of women, but there is no place to go to the toilet. I am really anxious. If I urinate anywhere, I feel very embarrassed.
But a toilet was placed in the house and the bedroom in the wing room was small. I wanted to be lazy. I missed the time to "collect the night fragrance" that day, which was a bad thing. After going out, others would know that I was lazy today and had the smell of shit and urine on my body.
Therefore, the toilet problem is related to my face. Tofu Xishi did not solve it, Shi Chuan refused to talk about other issues first.
With a surprised look, Tofu Xishi looked up and down for a long time, and asked curiously: "Oh, do you really don't remember the past?... It seems that Gu Ersao's eyes are poisonous, and she can tell at a glance that you are not from ordinary people.
I know how all our small families live. No one in Tonghaizhou City dislikes putting the toilet into the bedroom. Everyone lives like this, but you have to tell me some truth.
Speaking of this, I am very curious - what other tricks can you do about shit and urine?...Forget it, I will tell you that as long as you pay for it yourself, you can rebuild my house.
Hehehe, I can't wait to see how people in the capital make peeing work unique and elegant... I said, do you have money? If you don't have money, I will sell your mule to me and I will pay five cents of money."
Shi Chuan looked at Tofu Xishi with contempt: "You black-hearted woman, don't bully me stupid. Just give me five stagnant money with a mule. Do you think I'm so stupid?"
Tofu Xishi twisted her waist, smiled charmingly, and asked with a charming look: "How much does Shi Dalang think is appropriate? How much does it cost to add my usual money?"
"If you add ten cents, you won't sell it!" Shi Chuan replied loudly: "Although the mule is a domestic product, it is a household car of 100,000 yuan at least. Although the speed is not very good, the style is very old, and the car paint is gray and it looks ugly, but it is a domestic product and national! My brother is very patriotic. Well, I won't give me 100,000 yuan (100 cents). I won't talk to you about selling Citroen as Suzuki - this mule is fuel-efficient. It eats grass and carries a motorcycle engine. It doesn't need concentrated feed. It leaves as soon as it steps on the accelerator, and never picks on food."
Shi Chuan Brabra said, but Tofu Xishi couldn't understand anything, but she heard the price of 100% clearly and found that the mule was not at a disadvantage. Tofu Xishi continued to shake her waist and smiled charmingly: "Hehe, fool, you are really not stupid. But now, what else can you sell besides mules?
Hehe, Dalang, it costs a lot of money to renovate a house. The neighbors agree that you are noisy and you always have to return a gift. You only need to take this gift to take some time. I am afraid that it will cost you a lot of money to get it. Can you give out dozens of money?"
