Chapter 12 Rent
Of course, it is impossible to carry all the things in such a large bag.

If it is checked by someone, it will be caught in one pot, and it will all be over.

Part of it must be hidden first, just in case.

But where to hide?

Su Chen was in a difficult situation for a while, because he didn't have any acquaintances outside, even if he had acquaintances, he wouldn't worry about storing so many things with others.

Are you going to rent a house?

But I don't have any acquaintances when renting a house. Anyway, it doesn't matter what age it is, if you don't have acquaintances, it's more difficult to do things.

There is another thing that Su Chen must consider.

With these hundreds of dollars, no matter what, he had to prepare to start making a fortune, otherwise the antiques at the root of the imperial city would be confiscated.

Su Chen didn't have much impression of others, but he was very impressed with that ghostly Ma Ye.

Because this master is so smart, if it takes another two years, he will probably have to follow behind him to pick up the leftovers.

For renting a house, the location should not be too far away, otherwise it will be difficult to go to class every day.

After the decision was made, Su Chen went to find a place to rent a house with his bag on his back after eating casually on the side of the road.

It's not like the later generations, you can find information about renting a house just by searching on the Internet, and now few people will publish news about renting a house in the newspaper.

There are several alleys beside the east gate of Yuanmingyuan, and it is also close to the school.

More importantly, four years later, "Dream of Red Mansions" will be trained in the Old Summer Palace, and the near water will be the first to get the moon. Even if Su Chen can't play the characters in the play, it doesn't prevent him from thinking about actors.

After thinking about it, Su Chen directly carried his bag and went straight there.

Large-scale demolition and construction has not yet started, and many old hutongs still retain the original flavor of old Beijing. Once you walk into the hutongs, you can feel the strong smell of fireworks.

There is a saying that goes like this: the famous alleys are nine hundred and ninety, and the unnamed alleys are as good as goose feathers.

These large and small hutongs are like capillaries that inject vitality into the capital. Many people in the capital have lived in such hutongs for generations.

But due to various reasons, the housing management office has rented out the alleys, and you can only rent them now. If you want to buy them, you can't buy them now.

Walking into the alley, a strong cultural atmosphere rushes towards us, like an encyclopedia in the capital slowly unfolding in front of our eyes.

But Su Chen didn't come to feel the cultural atmosphere, but to rent a house.

I happened to see an old man leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette, he hurriedly stepped forward two steps: "Master, do you live here?"

The uncle was instantly happy: "Look at you asking, I don't live here, should I come here? I grew up here since I was a child, young man, what's the matter? Are you looking for someone?"

"No."

Hearing that this old man grew up here, Su Chen was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "I'm a student of Tsinghua University, and I want to rent a room here."

"Students of Tsinghua University, don't you have a dormitory? Isn't it a waste of money to live outside?" The uncle was a little puzzled.

"Hey, the main reason is that I want to devote myself to writing a book, and it would be more appropriate to find a quiet place." Su Chen casually found a reason: "Master, do you know that there is a house for rent here?"

"How else can we say that we are destined?" The uncle stood up and said with a smile: "Young man, you are asking the right person. I really know that there is a place to live. How about I take you to see it?"

"That's kind, I'm sorry to trouble you old man." Su Chen said politely.

The uncle chuckled: "If there is any trouble, don't bother, you students are the future pillars of the country, go, I will take you there to have a look."

Su Chen cautiously followed behind the uncle, looking around vigilantly.

After all, he is now burdened with a huge sum of money, and there is no room for any mistakes, otherwise he will die before he leaves the school.

Fortunately, after walking not far, the uncle stopped and pointed to the door in front of him: "This is it, let's go in and have a look."

As he spoke, he took out the key and opened the door.

Dare to feel that this uncle is still in charge of this house.

"it is good."

Su Chen followed the uncle and walked into the yard. The yard is not big, with a stone table and a well. The north room in the yard is the main room, which looks larger than the east and west wing rooms. There is another Not a small kitchen.

However, there is not much furniture available.

The environment seemed closed and quiet, which made Su Chen very satisfied.

Just don't know what the price is.

The uncle asked: "Young man, how is it? Is this house okay?"

"Master, may I ask, what is the relationship between the owner of this house and you?"

This thing must be asked clearly, in case I rent it today, someone will drive me away tomorrow, then it will be a lot of fun.

"This is my nephew's house." The uncle said: "The road is absolutely clean, and I guarantee there will be no problems. The Old Summer Palace is next door. If you are tired of writing books, you can go to the Old Summer Palace. It's so convenient, but you can't do it outside the frame." thing."

"This is natural."

This place is really close to the Old Summer Palace, but now this place is so desolate, so the rent is only three melons and two dates.

After the two confirmed that their identities were fine, Su Chen directly paid the rent for one year. Originally, he wanted to pay for a few more years, but he didn't have that much money, so he can save as much as he can now.

The uncle handed over the key to Su Chen: "You take care of this key first, and change the lock yourself later. By the way, if those things in the house can no longer be used, you can throw them away."

"Good."

After closing the door, Su Chen went to a nearby trust store to buy some necessary daily necessities, and bought another lock.

From today onwards, he will also own a house, even though he only rents it.

After cleaning up a bit, seeing that it was still early, Su Chen hid the pocket of electronic watches and went out with only a few dozen.

It is impossible to do business now with a loudspeaker like in later generations, it can only be sneaky, and the tricks must be bright, don't trick them.

Su Chen came to Wudaokou with more than a dozen watches, and Wudaokou was very desolate at the moment.

Poplar branches are often heard scraping the roof and body of the bus.

Two rows of poplar trees extend westward from the east entrance of Chengfu Road to Wudaokou.

There are also food stores, non-staple food stores, grocery stores, and post offices at the east entrance of Chengfu Road. The main reason is that this place is close, and it is convenient if it is too far away.

Find a place to cat, and then stare at passers-by, looking for their prey.

For this kind of electronic watch, Su Chen positioned the sales group as between [-] and [-]. If it is over this age, it is not suitable, maybe you will meet some kind of director or section chief.

In the capital, if a brick is thrown from upstairs, one or two of the ten people who fall down must be cadres of various industries.

Just a few steps away, I saw a young man about 25 years old squatting under a tree and smoking a cigarette.

After observing carefully for about 1 minute, this man should be rich. He is wearing a denim shirt and a watch on his wrist. No matter how he looks at it, he looks like a rich man.

That's him.

Su Chen made up his mind and walked towards the man.

Walked up to this man in two or three steps, and said first: "Brothers..."

Before he finished speaking, the man choked: "Who the hell is your buddy, who are you? Are we familiar? Don't make friends with friends."

Hey, I'm short tempered...
