Chapter 690 New World House Open for Purchase
The Tangyuan shop doesn't advertise itself intentionally, and the two owners take a very Buddhist approach to running the business, but there is still a constant stream of customers every day.
At the beginning, the store only had green leafy vegetables, some dried goods and frozen products, but gradually added various peppers and green peppers, eggplants, cauliflowers, cherry tomatoes, ginseng fruit, etc.
These are varieties that Lu Yuan grafted from new crops onto ordinary crops. The roots underneath can be watered with nutrient solution, so they grow very fast.
Each of these vegetables had been grown in large quantities at the Penglai base farm, so the two of them were adept at growing them.
With the help of the Watering General, these 45 acres of land are not too busy even if there are only two people taking care of them on a daily basis.
Sometimes when they are too busy, they will naturally hire a few temporary workers to help. They will not exhaust themselves just to earn points.
For this purpose, Han Ying also joined several short-term worker groups from Wenwu. Some of the people in these groups were employers who wanted to hire short-term workers, and some were workers who wanted to find temporary workers.
Compared with permanent workers, short-term workers have higher wages and are more flexible.
Therefore, many people in the New World specialize in doing this kind of short-term work. If they can get short-term work every day, their monthly salary can be higher than that of people with regular jobs.
Three months passed in a flash, and the four-story building in the agricultural and forestry area has been completed. The total cost of labor and materials was 960,000 points.
It was about 100,000 yuan different from Wenwu’s original estimate, but that was because the two of them built a small courtyard in front of the house.
Han Ying said she wanted to plant some flowers and plants in the small yard, and his wife's wish must be fulfilled.
So Lu Yuan dug out some beautiful flowering seeds from the space and planted them.
Lu Yuan also made a climbing trellis for the courtyard wall. He planned to plant a wall of roses that would bloom all year round.
Over the past three months, Han Ying and Lu Yuan have lived a fulfilling life every day, going back and forth between the shop, home, and the agricultural and forestry area.
When she wanted to take a break, she would leave the shop to the other two clerks, and then Han Ying and Lu Yuan would go shopping on other floors of the New World.
As the store got more and more items and more and more customers came, it had to do things like sorting goods, weighing, registering, cleaning, etc. every day.
Han Ying had almost no free time throughout the day.
Seeing that Han Ying was too busy to spend much time with him and Tangyuan, Lu Yuan posted a job notice at the door a few months ago and hired two shop assistants to help.
Han Ying interviewed both shop assistants herself. They were women in their thirties. Their husbands had previously built houses for them.
After they came to the new world, they couldn't find a job, so they usually took some temporary jobs to earn some points to supplement their family income.
When these two people came to buy groceries, they saw the job advertisement outside and took the opportunity to interview directly while they were shopping.
Han Ying was quite satisfied with the two shop assistants. They worked very efficiently, which really made her life a lot easier.
Over the past few months, the construction of the new world has progressed very quickly. Many of the places that were ruins when Han Ying and her friends first came here have now been built into small buildings.
It is said that the subway will start trial operation in half a year.
The entire new world is being built in an orderly manner. Most people are busy every day, working during the day and resting at night, as if they have returned to the peaceful world before the end of the world.
This kind of life makes many people forget that outside the new world, it is still the end of the world with temperatures of minus 60 to 70 degrees Celsius, and the threat of wind blades and acid rain from time to time.
Once the house is built, it’s time to start decorating. The layout inside is built according to Han Ying and Lu Yuan’s ideas, so there is no need to change it.
The first floor was directly connected to form a warehouse, and the second and third floors were left empty. The two planned to live on the fourth floor because they could occasionally go to the rooftop to overlook the scenery.
But even if you live on the 4th floor, the 2nd and 3rd floors will still be renovated.
The decoration style is simple, without any fancy things.
The day after the small building was renovated, Han Ying hired five people to help with the cleaning of the new house.
After the end of the world, everyone’s work efficiency is very high and tasks can be completed in one day.
However, even though new materials are used in the decoration, Han Ying thinks it is safer to let the house air out for a while before moving in.
After living in the New World for more than half a year, the two have become accustomed to life here.
We have been to all the places in New World that can be reached by electric cars, and we have also taken the bus several times, but the places we went to each time were not far, so we will wait for the subway to open and then take the subway to the other side of New World to take a look.
That day, Han Ying was checking out people who came to buy fruits and vegetables at the Tangyuan shop when the cell phone in her pocket rang.
"The total is 96 points."
Han Ying didn't take out her phone right away. She collected the points first before turning to the clerk who was bundling vegetables and said, "Sister Zhao, come collect it. I have a call."
"Okay."
Zhao Dongmei put down the bundle of vegetables in her hand and ran over swiftly.
Zhao Dongmei likes this job very much. The salary is not low and she can earn more than 200 points every week.
And after get off work every day, I can also take away some unsold vegetables that are not in good condition.
Although these vegetables don’t look very good, they are not bad, and the boss always asks them if they want them.
If they wanted it, she would let the two shop assistants take it home to eat. If they didn’t want it, she would take it back to the agricultural and forestry area to feed the poultry.
The boss said that the poultry have started laying eggs during this period, and he will bring them here to sell once the number stabilizes.
Han Ying wiped her hands before taking the phone out of her pocket. It was a call from Lu Yuan, who was busy in the agricultural and forestry area.
"Lu Yuan, what's wrong?"
Han Ying asked as soon as she answered the phone.
"Han Ying, the houses in New World are now available for purchase. Please check the message I will send you later."
Lu Yuan directly told Han Ying the news he had just received.
"Really? Is it really a 50% discount as Wenwu said before?"
They chose two large flats, which were too big so the price would probably not be cheap. If they could really get a 50% discount, they could save at least several million points.
"It's true. Not only can houses be discounted by 50%, but also storefronts. However, single-family villas can only be purchased at the original price."
Compared to a large flat, the two actually prefer to buy a single-family villa.
"Okay, I'll go check it out right away, and you come back early."
After Han Ying hung up the phone, she opened the chat box with Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan pushed the inside news of a new world to her.
Han Ying clicked on it and found that it was just as Lu Yuan said, the news was about the launch of New World properties.
For a house that has been rented before, the lessee has the right of first refusal.
All those who participate in the construction of New World will enjoy a 50% discount on the purchase of a house (except the villa area), limited to one unit.
As for the price of the house, it is divided according to different areas and sections. Please go to the sales office to inquire about the specific price after the sale starts.
Currently, only the first 10 floors of New World are open for purchase.
The two houses that Han Ying and her friends chose are both on the 10th floor, which happens to be among the houses available for purchase.
The specific price is not clear yet, so I can only wait for the sale to open in three days and then go to inquire.
But before that, Han Ying thought she could ask Wenwu first. After all, he seemed to be quite versatile in the new world.
You should have heard something about the prices of the houses that are officially open for purchase.
Thinking of this, Han Ying immediately called Wenwu to ask him about the housing price.
Wenwu did not hide anything, he actually knew a rough idea.
The market opens in three days, so there is nothing to hide.
