“Don’t worry, since they’re rumors, no one will believe them.” The real estate agent wiped his sweat. “Rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut.”
Although the real estate agent misunderstood their relationship, Yan Jin and Yu Shu didn’t take it to heart. Modern people were open about male-female relationships, unlike the conservative An Country, so after clearing it up, the two didn’t mind it anymore.
The mansion Yan Jin and Yu Shu chose was a three-courtyard one. The yard was covered in lush grass and had a small pond with a few weeping willows standing by the pond, looking quite refreshing.
Passing through the gate separating the inner and outer courtyards, there were the east and west wing rooms of the second courtyard, a main room, and a covered walkway.
“The east and west wing rooms, just right for one person each.” Yan Jin asked Yu Shu, “Do you prefer the left or right?”
Yu Shu: “Either is fine with me.”
“Then let’s decide by rolling dice later. Odd, I’m on the left; even, you’re on the left.” Yan Jin asked, “Any problem?”
Yu Shu shook his head. “No problem.”
Yan Jin asked again, “Do you have any other plans for the side rooms on both sides of the wing rooms?”
Yu Shu glanced at the real estate agent, went over to Yan Jin’s ear, and lowered his voice, “I think they’re suitable to be used as washrooms.”
“Okay.” Yan Jin had the same idea. “Then let’s find someone to renovate them tomorrow.”
In ordinary households, the toilets were usually built in a small room in some corner of the backyard, past the main hall and the living wing rooms. But Yan Jin was used to rooms with independent bathrooms and really didn’t want to run that far to take a bath or use the washroom, so she had her eyes on the side rooms next to the wing rooms.
Fortunately, Yu Shu had the same idea as her, so it was settled to convert the side rooms into bathrooms.
Because only the two of them were living there now, they also added a shared study, Yan Jin’s workroom, and Yu Shu’s dance studio, leaving the remaining rooms empty.
Seeing that the two had even arranged how to plan the rooms, the real estate agent knew this deal was almost certain.
Thinking that the two had never done any manual labor, the real estate agent’s eyes turned. “If you two buy the mansion and don’t know how to tidy it up, you can come to me.”
Yan Jin asked Yu Shu in a low voice, “Do real estate agencies also provide housekeeping and cleaning services?”
Yu Shu replied, “You can also hire and buy and sell servants at real estate agencies.”
Yan Jin was a bit tempted. If she hired a few cleaners and an auntie who was good at cooking, wouldn’t life be wonderful? After all, takeout and fast food were convenient and quick, but you’d get tired of it after eating it for a long time.
“Let’s hire a few people once we’re settled in.” Yan Jin discussed enthusiastically with Yu Shu, “The house is so big, the two of us definitely can’t clean it all. We also don’t know how to use the kitchen here. If we hire someone to come, they can take care of buying groceries, cooking, and washing dishes. This way we can sleep in a bit in the mornings.”
“This is a great idea!” Yu Shu’s eyes lit up as he listed off, “We have no income now, so let’s hire a cook first. We can hire a few more later. One in charge of making snacks, one in charge of making soups, and one in charge of cooking for Meatbun.”
After saying that, Yu Shu pondered for a while. “I wonder how many cuisines there are here.”
Yan Jin waved her hand. “Then let’s hire three cooks from different schools first and have them take turns cooking!”
[Two spendthrifts, they haven’t found jobs yet and are already thinking about hiring people.] [The gold and jewels they brought over aren’t little, it should be enough to hire people, right?] [A scientific researcher who can’t leave high-tech support and a celebrity who can’t show his face to sing and dance in the female-dominant ancient times, no matter how you look at it, they’re set up to deplete their resources.]The two discussed enthusiastically, but after careful consideration, Yan Jin and Yu Shu both temporarily gave up the idea of hiring people to cook.
After all, Yan Jin and Yu Shu were not native to the female-dominant world, and their living habits were definitely vastly different from other natives. Moreover, they had just arrived and might inadvertently reveal flaws. So the two decided to wait until they were used to life here before hiring people to cook and clean.
During this adaptation period, they would eat out or casually cook something simple to make do.
Because they were satisfied with the house, the two directly made the decision to buy this mansion.
Neither of them was short of money. Yan Jin was about to directly take out the money when Yu Shu stopped her and said excitedly, “Buying things offline without bargaining is like online shopping.”
“Everything can be bargained. I’m pretty good at bargaining. Let me do it. I guarantee I can get us a better house for less money.”
Yan Jin, who was used to taking out money offline to buy some peace and quiet, saw Yu Shu’s eyes light up with excitement and silently stepped aside from the “battlefield” to let the eager Yu Shu take over.
Earlier at the pawn shop, Yan Jin already felt that Yu Shu was good at bargaining.
But this time, Yan Jin truly witnessed what Yu Shu was like at full power: he actually managed to cut down a third of the price from the real estate agent’s hands.
In the end, the two only used two-thirds of the original price to buy this mansion.
[I’m stunned. The buff of being socially awesome + bargaining is actually so strong!!] [I always thought Yu Shu was the kind of big celebrity who was out of touch with reality. I didn’t expect him to be even better at bargaining than my mom.] [I’m actually becoming Yu Shu’s fan now! After becoming his fan, will Yu Shu organize a wool-grabbing guide for fans every Double 11 and Double 12?]Even Yan Jin, who was usually unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, couldn’t help but change her expression.
Goodness, Yu Shu could actually talk to a stranger for so long and successfully bargain down the price.
After getting the house purchase contract, Yu Shu was still patting his chest in lingering fear. “That scared me to death. Sure enough, people who make a living with their mouths are formidable with their tongues.”
Rams producing milk: An Country has male childbirth, so in An Country, rams produce milk and give birth.
I study computer science and don’t know much about business. The Qin family training their children to use the abacus and bargain is my imagination because I thought it would be more interesting than memorizing finance books.
Yu Shu’s hidden skills: feeding pigs (one of his talents, the two cats in his family were both fed very fat by him), bargaining (cultivated by his family)
The current Yan Jin: If Yu Shu’s wife-master could really agree to name their child Pork Floss, she must be completely blinded by lust.
The future Yan Jin: Hello.
Little skit
Pork Floss, who was still in Dad’s belly, heard Dad coaxing them to come out and promising to take them to eat delicious food and play fun things. Pork Floss became interested and was about to come out when they heard Mom say, “The name Pork Floss is so cute, the baby will definitely like it.”
Pork Floss: …
They felt it was more fun inside Dad’s belly and didn’t want to come out.
Yan Jin takes her mother’s surname, but Pork Floss won’t take either Dad or Mom’s surname in the future.
