Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 414 The quality of this bed is not good!

PS: Sorry, last night, for some reason, the chapter was locked and could not be posted. (Not locked up.)
Yang Xiaole got out of the car and looked around.

At the first sight, he was very satisfied with this place.

This place is close to the roots of Xihuang City. In the past, those who could live here were either rich or noble people. Basically, they were houses with three or even four entrances.

Not to mention Prince Li’s Mansion which is dozens of meters away.

This house is sandwiched between two large courtyards, with a small alley of about three meters on each side.

The two of them didn't go in. Lin Junsheng took out a notebook from the car and said, "Uncle Haozi, I don't have the key. I came over today to have a look. I know the general idea. I'll draw it for you."

Then I started painting.

Yang Xiaole saw this and walked towards the gate. He wandered near the gate for a while and already knew the general situation.

In fact, he didn't even need to draw it, he already knew what the situation was.

Like the surrounding houses, it faces north and south.

Three houses with blue bricks and black tiles are located on the north side, and a smaller kitchen is on the west side.

There is a relatively square small courtyard in the middle, covering an area of ​​about twenty square meters.

The rooms are not very big, the living room is about twenty, and there are small rooms of more than ten square meters on each side, a study room, and a bedroom.

And the furniture was all intact, except that it was all dusty.

The whole house is similar to Suo Ye's, but Suo Ye's kitchen is opposite, and the main room of Suo Ye's house is about 26 square meters.

A little bigger than this.

To be honest, he was very satisfied with the house.

The houses in this neighborhood are much wider, and there are only five upside-down rooms in their compound.

The one on the right here has nine rooms, and the one on the left has eleven rooms. The distance is very far.

The road to the door is also very wide.

This way, you won't be disturbed by the neighbors on both sides, and it's a single-family home. There are people walking at the door, and it's safe enough.

Moreover, there are many trees planted on the roadside at the entrance, which do not block the sunlight.

satisfaction.

Very satisfied.

"Uncle Haozi! Let me tell you something."

While thinking, Lin Junsheng drew a picture and came over.

There was a streetlight on the side of the road, and Yang Xiaole stretched his head to take a look.

"Uncle Haozi, look, this is the gate..."

Then he started to explain.

Yang Xiaole naturally listened quietly.

After he finished speaking, he said directly: "Where are the people, please take me to see this house."

As for Lin Junsheng, he said that this house is somewhat special and is not a house.

But the other party only wants gold.

He has gold, but he won't use it to buy houses for others. There's no need.

These people want to go out, and the reason why they want gold is to exchange for foreign exchange after going out.

Although he doesn't have much foreign exchange in his hands, he still has more than 100,000 yuan.

There are a lot of U.S. dollars among them.

enough.

Because the total price of this house is only 700.

Almost more than a hundred houses.

The house I bought for Qiao Yan last time cost a total of one thousand and two thousand. Although the house was a little smaller, the price was much less.

Actually it’s not because the house is smaller.

But because of the current renovation of private houses and the expansion of family rooms in various units, many employees in the inner city have been allocated houses.

The price will naturally come down.

There are units allocating houses, so who would be stupid enough to buy a house?
The price will be lower in the future.

"Uncle Haozi, did you really buy it? He wants gold? Do you...have it?"

Lin Junsheng did not doubt whether he had money in his hand. After all, he had known him for so many years, but gold was not something that could be obtained casually.

You know, gold was not in circulation in the hands of ordinary people in the past.

"It's okay! Let's go!"

Yang Xiaole said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Lin Junsheng nodded, pointed to the alley next to him and said: "The person is behind, it's not too far to walk there."

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Then he took the lead and walked into the dark alley.

There are street lights at both ends, so Wei Wei can still see clearly.

Walk through the alley and come to another street.

When he was just passing by, he also saw the house connected to the house just now. It was a cement house. At first glance, it looked like a unit house newly built after liberation.

When he came here, Lin Junsheng took him into a small alley again.

After turning around inside, we came to another street and stopped in front of a courtyard.

"Dong dong dong~~~"

Lin Junsheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a few minutes, the courtyard door was slowly opened.

An old man came out from inside, wearing a long cotton-padded jacket like old BJ's. The openings on the cotton-padded jacket were not buttons, but buttons under the armpits.

"uncle!"

Lin Junsheng smiled and said hello.

The old man looked at the two people, then at Lin Junsheng, and said directly: "Are you ready to buy the house?"

Because Lin Junsheng came over and asked before.

Lin Junsheng nodded: "Yes, I'm ready to take it."

Upon hearing this, the old man looked at the two of them and nodded to signal them to come in.

Yang Xiaole followed in.

After coming in, Yang Xiaole looked around. This courtyard is not small. It should be said that it is a three-unit courtyard. There are no reverse-side rooms.

There are three houses on each side, and the main house on the north side is naturally the largest.

The total is almost close to 150 square meters.

This has reached the limit of private house renovation.

The two of them followed the old man to the main room directly to the north. The mahogany furniture looked very time-worn.

The old man motioned for the two of them to sit on the armchair at the bottom, and he followed suit.

After everyone sat down, the old man looked at the two of them, and then said slowly: "You know what needs to be said! My house only accepts gold, no money."

Hearing this, Lin Junsheng naturally looked at Yang Xiaole.

Seeing both of them looking at him, Yang Xiaole smiled and said: "Uncle, your price is a bit high! You should have asked what the price of gold is on the black market now, right? If it is based on the black market price, Your house costs nearly 2,000 yuan! Do you think anyone is willing to buy it? With this kind of money, who can buy your small yard?”

While walking on the road, he made some calculations and realized something was wrong.

Because now the price of gold on the black market has increased from twice to nearly three times.

The main reason is of course scarcity.

In other words, if you exchange it with money, it will cost about two thousand yuan.

This is a sky-high price.

After hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment, it was not that he didn't understand.

Finally, he thought about it and asked, "How much can you give me? If it's too little, forget it."

Yang Xiaole thought for a while and quoted a price: "Eight hundred yuan, which is just Hong Kong dollars."

This price is not low anymore.

The average salary on Hong Kong Island is only about 100.

In remote places, it only costs a few dozen yuan. If you rent a house, it only costs 20 or 30 yuan a month.

This smaller one is for Yang Xiaole.

It's already a big house on Hong Kong Island. It's almost the same price as one bedroom and one living room.

When the other party first heard about eight hundred yuan, he already hesitated. When he heard about Hong Kong dollars, he frowned.

Then his eyes lit up.

If this house was sold for 700 yuan, it would shrink by about two-thirds if converted into gold.

In the past, converted into Hong Kong dollars, it was only a little over 500.

This price is a good deal.

No need to go to the black market yourself.

"Hong Kong dollars? Do you really have so many Hong Kong dollars?"

The old man asked in surprise.

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Well, there are so many, but to the outside world, you can't say that the price is Hong Kong dollars, and the price can't be said that much. Just calculate it as four hundred. One more thing, I want all the furniture in that house. , I’ll give you an additional fifty yuan, so the total is 850 Hong Kong dollars.”

Hearing this, the old man looked him up and down.

I silently estimated in my heart.

If the furniture in that house were all new, it would cost about five or six hundred.

But he knew in his heart that although the furniture was good and well-maintained, it was old furniture after all.

If you take it to a trust store and sell it, you can probably sell it for dozens of yuan.

Might as well give it all to him and exchange it for Hong Kong dollars.

Thinking of this, the old man nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll do as you say! Do we want to sign a contract?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a while and said, "Forget it about signing the contract. I will give you fifty first. You give me the key. I will bring someone over to trade with you at the housing management office tomorrow."

After saying that, he looked at the house and said, "Uncle, what are you going to do with this house? Are you planning to sell it too?"

The old man looked excited when he saw this: "Well, of course I want to sell it. Do you want to buy it?"

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he looked around and said it was impossible not to be moved.

It's not far from the Forbidden City.

This place may not be demolished in the future.

But in the end I gave up because there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

If you buy with your own identity now, you will have a lot of trouble in the future. If you buy with a Hong Kong ID card, you will have even more troubles.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"I can't afford this, I'm just curious about how you would deal with it!"

Hearing this, the old man felt a little regretful, and finally said: "This house is a bit big, so I can only sell it to the street at a cheaper price."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this.

This is cheap, not cheap!

I guess a third would be good.

But he couldn't control this, so he casually took out fifty yuan of Hong Kong dollars, stood up and placed it on the table next to the old man.

"Old man, take a look! If it's okay, I'll get the key first. We'll come over at 8:30 tomorrow morning and go to the housing management office."

Upon seeing this, the old man took the money and looked at it carefully several times.

He also took out a piece of money in his pocket and compared it.

After finally making sure there was no problem, he stood up and returned to the room. After a while, he took out two keys and handed them to him: "One is the key to the courtyard door, and the other is the key to the main room door. The kitchen is not locked."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took it, thought for a moment and asked, "Um, the water and electricity inside are usable, right?"

"It works. The running water and electricity were all installed at the time, but they have never been used."

"Well, that's good. I've taken the things away. It's getting late. Master, please go to bed early. I'll come find you early tomorrow morning."

It was obvious that the other party had fallen asleep.

Because the other party was still buttoning up when he left the main room.

The old man nodded upon seeing this, stood up, and escorted the two of them to the entrance of the compound.

After he came out, Lin Junsheng said: "This old man is really serious. Wouldn't it be better if he said he wanted foreign exchange earlier?"

For others, Forex is a curiosity.

But for him, that's it, because when he usually drives a taxi, he also has the opportunity to get foreign exchange.

But these must be handed over to the unit.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this, and was about to remind him to get some foreign exchange to keep if he had the chance.

After all, the current exchange rate, except for the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, has not changed, and other exchange rates are rising every year.

This increase is not small.

Think about it and forget it.

It would not be a good thing to have foreign exchange in the future, so I gave up in the end.

"Thank you for your hard work. Tell Yingzi to go to Dadi Restaurant for dinner. I will treat you and the money will be deducted from me."

These words made Lin Junsheng a little embarrassed: "No, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to inquire by the way."

"Listen to me! It's not like you can't afford it."

Yang Xiaole said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Lin Junsheng did not refute, "Okay, we'll see what happens when the time comes."

Neither agreed nor objected.

Then thinking of Yang Xiaole's words before, he chuckled: "Uncle Haozi! You just said you would bring someone here, who was it?"

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes when he saw this: "I want you to take care of it!"

Hearing this, Lin Junsheng smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them returned to their previous place, and Yang Xiaole said: "Okay, you go back first, it's not early, you have to go to work tomorrow, I'll go in and take a look, and I'll walk back later, it's not that far anyway. "

After hearing this, Lin Junsheng thought for a while and realized that he would really have to get up early and take people to the airport tomorrow.

He agreed and drove away in the car.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole took the key and opened the door.

Although the yard is small, the specifications are still the same as other yards.

Entering the door, there is a screen wall, turning to the Moon Gate next to it, and then you see the courtyard.

There is a faint light shining in the yard, but it is not strong, a bit like the moonlight on the fifteenth day.

But this has no impact on Yang Xiaole.

I came to the pool under the ear room and turned on the faucet to give it a try.

It was cold and the faucet was frozen.

Then he took out a warm level from the empty tube, which he usually likes to put in the space.

When it's cold, it's still nice to have a warm sip.

When most of the bottle of hot water went down, I saw brown water flowing out of it.

The water is usable, but no one has used it for too long, and there is too much rust, so it can't be eaten now.

Didn't turn off the faucet and let it flow like this.

When I came to the kitchen, I opened the door and turned on the light.

The lights are good.

A rural-style stove that can burn firewood.

Turning off the lights, he came to the main room again, opened the door and walked in directly.

Turning on the light is also good, no big problem.

There are three armchairs neatly placed on both sides of the main room. The appearance is maroon and there is a coffee table with tea in the middle.

At the top is an incense table.

There are two identical armchairs under the incense table, plus a wooden coffee table in the middle.

The door is not made of window paper, but of glass.

It is said that there are still some domestically produced glass in Sijiucheng, but the price is relatively expensive, and ordinary people are still accustomed to using window paper.

Cheap and easy to use.

The bedroom has a mahogany three-door wardrobe and dressing table, and there is a winter stove in it.

The bed is even more hollow, with a framed mahogany bed above.

Fortunately, it's not a matter of carving a dragon and attaching it to a phoenix, otherwise, it would have to be replaced again in the future.

There are several shelves in the study room, which are empty. There is a desk, a square chair, and not much else.

But the light bulb in the bedroom doesn't work.

I went to the main room and tried changing the lights in the main room. The wiring was good, but the light bulb was broken.

This is not troublesome.

Just buy one.

After reading them all, there was no problem, so he turned off the light and walked out of the room.

At this time, the water coming out of the tap was clear water.

He took the water, washed his dirty hands after changing the light bulb, and turned off the faucet.

My mind was wondering what else was missing.

But thinking about it, he still couldn't think of anything missing, and then he stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, it will be much easier to buy whatever you need in the future.

Then he left the room, came outside, locked the door, and left directly.

By the time he returned home, it was already around nine o'clock and no one was in the compound.

There were only sporadic lights left on.

Quietly entered Qu Ying's room.

"The thief is here to steal again!"

Qu Ying was no longer surprised by his arrival. When this guy went out today, he said he wouldn't come back today, so she knew he would come.

"Hey, I steal everything! It's all mine."

Yang Xiaole chuckled and quickly came to the bed.

In a matter of seconds, he took off his clothes and got directly into bed.

It's winter outside now, my body is warm, but my hands and feet are still a little cold.

He didn't rush to hug her, he just put his hand under the other person's neck and hugged Qu Ying tightly.

"Is it cold? I'll warm you up!"

Qu Ying took his free hand over with a smile and placed it in her own palms.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I have something to do when I go out today. The house matter has been taken care of."

Hearing this, Qu Ying was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Do we really want to move?"

In fact, she didn't particularly want to move.

Yang Xiaole couldn't go there every day, so she was still a little scared if she lived alone in a courtyard.

After all, I have lived there for several years.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled: "What's wrong? Don't you want to move? It's okay. If you don't want to move, don't move."

It's only a few dozen yuan, and it's not like he can't afford it.

Hearing this, Qu Ying shook her head: "That's not true! Move it!"

It's not that she doesn't want to move, who doesn't want to live in a more spacious place, but in this case, she won't be able to see Yang Xiaole every day.

Yang Xiaole saw this and said: "By the way, don't go to work tomorrow. Tell Uncle Wang and ask him to bring a message to the factory. I will take you to the housing management office."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Also, I'll give you the house over there. This house will be sold to my family when the time comes. It'll be cheaper!"

This was what he thought of while walking on the road.

Qu Ying's house was sold to their family. In this case, the family would have three houses.

However, this house is not the same as the house they rented.

And there’s no need to move.

Anyway, they are all houses in the street. Let the street office change the properties of the two houses so that the three of them belong to their own homes.

As for this house, he doesn't care who the street office rents it to in the future.

Hearing this, Qu Ying smiled and said, "Okay! It's as much as you say!"

Yang Xiaole is now in charge of his affairs.

He also gave me the money for the house.

"Uh! Don't worry about this. We'll see when the time comes."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he thought of something and said, "By the way, did your mother leave any money for you when she left? How much did she leave in total?"

"What's wrong? Do you want money? You left it for me, but it's not much, only two hundred. Including the salary, it's more than nine hundred in total! Do you want it? If so, I'll give it to you!"

Since she followed Yang Xiaole, she basically couldn't spend much money.

Clothes, food, and supplies were all prepared for her.

If I hadn't sent something to my mother in the northwest, I really wouldn't have spent any money and I could have saved more.

Now her monthly salary is more than fifty yuan, and she is saving money very quickly.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "Why do I need your money? Your mother left you two hundred, right? That's enough."

As for Qu Ying's own savings, not all of it can be counted.

Then he said: "If anyone asks, just say that this money was left by your mother when she left. It cost four hundred to buy a house. Do you hear that?"

Qu Ying was surprised for a while: "How much did you buy?"

"More than seven hundred!"

Hearing this, Qu Ying nodded: "You really don't want me to give you money!"

Yang Xiaole laughed when he heard this and said, "What's wrong? You want to thank me! You don't need to be so polite. Can you change your posture today?"

After hearing this, Qu Ying glared at him angrily: "No, are you thinking about this all day long?"

"Hey, you have to do it even if it doesn't work! Have you ever heard of Gudao Rechang?"

After hearing these strange words, Qu Ying knew that nothing was wrong.

"Don't mess around, I..."

But midway through her words, she bit her lips tightly, not daring to make a sound.

After all, the house is not very soundproof.

Yang Xiaole saw this and smiled: "When we pass, you won't have to bite your lips. You won't be afraid of others hearing it."

"You...ah!~"

Just as Qu Ying was about to speak, a coquettish voice came out of her mouth, which scared her and bit her lip.

Don't dare to make any more noise.

……

In the dark night, the only sounds left were the creaking of the wooden bed and the sound of breathing.

The quality of this wooden bed is not good!
