Chapter 242 Buying a Villa
Yang Qing asked the staff again, "I also want to ask, how do I exchange steel bars for points?"
"You still have steel bars?" the staff was surprised.
"Well, I saw it by chance at a construction site before the tsunami happened, and I collected it. We want to buy a villa, but we don't have enough points, so we want to see how much steel bars are needed." Yang Qing said.
The staff member looked at the points redemption table and said, "Rebar is a very important material, even more scarce than river sand, and can be exchanged for a high number of points."
"One ton can be exchanged for 3,500 points."
Yang Qing nodded and calculated in his mind that the missing 32,500 points would require almost ten tons of steel bars.
A five-ton truck can pull ten tons of steel bars, and it can be done with one truck.
"Our stuff is in Mingcheng. We'll go get it here right now. It should be delivered here this afternoon," Yang Qing said.
The staff nodded and said, "Then hurry up. There are even fewer villas than suites, and they will be gone soon."
The three of them went upstairs first to find Li Liang and Lin Feng.
There are not many suites left, so the two of you should try to buy one together so that you can take care of each other in the future.
"How about it, have you made your choice?" Yang Qing asked.
"I've chosen." Lin Feng said excitedly, "My house is next to Liang's, in Building D. He lives in 502 and I live in 503."
"We are working on the property certificate now." Li Liang said with a smile on his face.
Yang Qing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he could get the property certificate so immediately. It was quite efficient.
After the two got the property certificate and keys, Leng Yi and Yang Qing drove and went to their new house together.
The new house is not far from the administrative center, about one kilometer away.
The main purpose is to demarcate this area for building houses, so naturally they won’t be too far away.
Further on is the villa area, about two kilometers away from the building.
You can see villas and some trees planted in the distance. The environment is much better than that of the building.
When they arrived, Leng Yi asked Li Liang and Lin Feng to bring their luggage up, and each of them took more than ten kilograms of rice.
Although they had wages and food in Mingcheng, they also had to eat, so they had almost eaten all.
We first arrived at Li Liang’s 502, a two-bedroom house of only about 40 square meters. There was nothing inside, but the walls were painted white and the floor was smooth cement, which was better than a rough house.
If you really want to stay, you can just sleep on the floor.
Li Liang felt mixed emotions as he looked at the new house. He didn't expect that he could own his own house in the end times. He also thought of his parents. It would be great if they were still there.
"Then you guys take a rest first. We still need to go get some goods to exchange for points." Yang Qing said, "After we buy a house, we can have a dinner together to welcome the new owner."
"Okay!" Li Liang and Lin Feng nodded. Li Liang looked at the three people opposite him. "Brother Yi, sister-in-law, and Lu Lin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, how could we have our own house?"
Leng Yi smiled and said, "This also depends on your own efforts."
"By the way, I'll give you the pickup truck." Leng Yi took out the car keys and placed them in Li Liang's hand. "It's just that the car is a little too worn, don't be disgusted."
"How could that be?" Li Liang said quickly. It would be much more convenient to have a car.
"You can take the things in the car, so you don't have to buy anything. We will take the anti-theft doors and windows away. You can use the gas stove and pots and pans. We will find a way ourselves." Yang Qing said.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Liang and Lin Feng said quickly.
If we don’t have these things and have to exchange them for food, we will really have nothing to eat.
The two of them went downstairs together to move the kitchen utensils, bedding and the remaining ingredients out of the car, and moved the rest into the truck.
Leng Yi handed a walkie-talkie to Li Liang and tuned the frequency. "You can contact me if you need anything."
The villa area and the building are two kilometers apart, which is within the range of the walkie-talkie, so it can still be used.
"Thank you, Brother Yi!" Li Liang was very touched.
The three of them got on the truck. "Where are we going now?" Leng Yi asked.
"Let's find a place to eat first, and then come back to bring the steel bars to exchange for points at three o'clock in the afternoon." Yang Qing said.
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded.
The new city area had just been built and there were no shops yet, so Leng Yi drove the car to a deserted place, and Yang Qing took out fast food from the space to eat.
He sat in the car and rested for two hours, then found a more remote place, took out about ten tons of steel bars from the space and put them on the truck.
Then I went back to the administrative center and found the staff from the morning.
"Comrade, we brought a truckload of steel bars here to exchange for points." Yang Qing said.
The staff recognized that it was the person from the morning. After all, there were not many people as beautiful and fair-skinned as Yang Qing in the apocalypse, so they were very impressed.
"I'll send someone out to inspect it right away," said the staff member.
Then someone went out with Yang Qing and the others, climbed onto the car to take a look, and found that the steel bars were indeed of very good quality.
Have them drive the car to the weighing station and weigh it together with the truck.
Because a lot of the items collected are building materials, a weighing scale was specially set up here.
Excluding the weight of the truck, the steel bars weigh about ten tons.
After issuing the tickets, Yang Qing and the others returned to the administrative center and asked the staff to deposit the points into the card.
"Now we can go choose a villa." Yang Qing said to Leng Yi with a smile.
"Yeah." Leng Yi nodded. He was happy to see his wife happy.
"You only have 50,000 points now, so you can only choose the smallest villa. Otherwise, you might as well go find some more supplies, save more, and then you can choose a bigger one." said the staff.
I feel like they are very capable people.
"No need, it's enough for the three of us." Yang Qing smiled. It's the end of the world now. Although it's their own house, no one knows how long they will live there. There's no need to waste supplies on it.
It’s fine as long as it’s liveable. At least it’s much more comfortable than living in an apartment building.
The three of them went to the second floor to choose a villa.
The staff scanned their cards and added a little over 50,000 points. "You can only choose the smallest villa, which is about 200 square meters."
Yang Qing raised his eyebrows. Two hundred square meters was considered good, much larger than the official base.
"Which other buildings can we choose from?" Yang Qing asked.
The staff took out a map of the villa area, looked at it, and marked the ones that had been selected. "There are only these two small suites left."
Yang Qing took a look and saw that there were only two sets left, one in the east and one in the west, in the corners, next to the wall.
Although it is a bit remote, it is actually quite good. If anything happens, I can just climb over the wall and run away.
"Then let's go with the one on the right." Yang Qing pointed to the map. There wasn't much difference between the left and the right, so it didn't matter.
The staff nodded, took the points card to deduct the points, and asked for Yang Qing's ID card to immediately make the property certificate.
Then he took out the key to the iron gate and gave it to them. "This is the key to the outer iron gate. There is no door inside, and it's not decorated. You can decide how to install it."
"Is it a rough draft?" Lu Lin asked.
I thought it was the same as the building, at least with doors, windows and whitewashing.
"Yes, those who live in the villas are all rich people, and they all like different styles. It is impossible to unify the decoration. It depends on you." said the staff.
"Okay!" Yang Qing nodded. Fortunately, there were still a lot of decoration materials in her space, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
