That broken rolling door is definitely what Mr. Danpier is most concerned about these days!
Lin Yuxun followed Cheng Hao and felt a little embarrassed when he heard Mr. Danpier talking about the rolling door.
Cheng Hao had originally agreed to repair the door, but he couldn't do it at all, so he had to leave it broken...
Cheng Hao said, "Mr. Danpier, I've made up my mind. Tomorrow I'll buy a second-hand rolling door and replace it for you."
Hearing Cheng Hao's words, Mr. Danpier became dissatisfied: "Why is it a second-hand rolling door?"
Cheng Hao said, "Your door is also old."
Mr. Dampier grumbled a few times, cursed the nigger who had broken down his door, but finally admitted the crime.
At this time, Cheng Hao said again: "There is one thing I don't know whether I should say..."
"What is it?" asked Mr. Dampier.
Cheng Hao said, "Actually, if you replace the door of that room with an ordinary door, such as a wooden door, I believe this garage can be rented out at a higher price! As you know, winter is coming, and rolling shutters don't keep you warm. That's not all, they're also easily vandalized..." Cheng Hao mentioned many weaknesses of rolling shutters, and what he said was true.
Generally, this type of door is only used in garages!
"Of course I know that, but do you know how much it costs to replace the door?" Mr. Dampier asked.
"Replacing the door does cost a lot of money, but after raising the rent, you will make it back sooner or later. More importantly, it is more cost-effective for you to replace the door now." Cheng Hao said.
"Why?" asked the plump Mr. Dampier, puzzled.
Cheng Hao said, "We broke your door. If you don't need us to repair it, we can compensate you with 20 yuan. You see, this way, you can save 20 yuan to replace the door!"
Mr. Dampier thought it made sense, but… "You have to pay me at least fifty dollars!"
After some bargaining, Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun paid 30 yuan in compensation and 15 yuan in rent for the attic upstairs, and then got the key to the attic.
That's right, the attic rent is fifteen dollars a week, almost twice as expensive as the garage.
The rolling door...
Cheng Hao had also paid attention to the price of rolling shutter doors a few days ago. A new one costs about 100 yuan, not including the installation fee, and the installation fee in this place is very expensive. As for second-hand ones... he has never met anyone selling second-hand rolling shutter doors.
So... he found a way to get Mr. Dampier to replace the door and install it!
This way he can spend less money!
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao said, "Mr. Danpier, before you install the door, you can build a wall with bricks first, or even build a window. I think you can rent it for ten dollars a week, not just eight."
Mr. Dampier's garage had always been rented out at eight dollars a week. When Lin Yuxun was broke, his roommate, Beverly, asked Mr. Dampier to rent the garage to Lin Yuxun for six dollars a week.
Mr. Danpier has always been brooding over this, so he wanted to raise the rent after Cheng Hao appeared.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Yuxun gave Mr. Danpier two yuan as soon as Mr. Danpier said so.
The more Mr. Danpier thought about it, the more he felt that Cheng Hao was right: "Boy, you are very smart!"
Cheng Hao also felt that he was very smart, as he actually compressed the one hundred yuan rolling shutter door into thirty yuan compensation.
Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun got the key to the attic from Mr. Danpier, thought about it, and started moving immediately.
The furniture in the house that Lin Yuxun rented all belonged to Mr. Danpier. He didn't have many things, so moving them should be quick and could be done tonight.
Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun started moving things in full swing. In order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to steal things, they always left one person to watch downstairs.
As they were moving, a black woman wearing floral pajamas and with many braids on her head came down from upstairs.
Cheng Hao had seen this black woman these days. She was Mr. Danville's roommate, Beverly.
Beverly's facial features were quite good, and she was considered pretty among black people. After she came downstairs, she stood at the garage door and said to Lin Yuxun, "I'll stay here. You guys go move the things."
"Thank you." Lin Yuxun thanked her and moved their miscellaneous belongings with Cheng Hao.
Lin Yuxun didn't have much stuff, but it needed to be sorted and the room needed to be cleaned, so it took the two of them almost two hours to finish moving. During this time, Danny followed behind and helped carry things.
At first, when they were taking things out of the house, Danny was a little uneasy, but when he found out they were moving things upstairs, he no longer felt unhappy and ran up and down with them.
The house downstairs is very damp, but it’s different in the attic. The floor height here is not high and there is a slope, so each room is very small, but there are three rooms in total!
In two of the small rooms, one had a 1.2-meter bed and the other had a 1.5-meter bed. The remaining large room was a kitchen with a very old wooden table and wooden chairs.
Seeing this kitchen, Cheng Hao felt excited.
There's gas here! You can cook!
The gas stoves here in the United States are very different from those in China.
It is square and placed on the ground. There are four fire holes on it. The bottom can be opened so that things can be roasted inside. Cheng Hao was very happy when he saw it, but soon felt helpless.
He found that he didn't know how to use this thing at all!
Now is not the time to bother with this...it's already late, they should go to bed.
Cheng Hao spread the newly bought quilt on the 1.5-meter bed and let Lin Yuxun and Danny sleep on it, while he slept on the small bed.
He went to bed late last night. Although he didn't exercise today, he still did a lot of things. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down, but in the next room, Lin Yuxun had not slept yet.
He can't sleep.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable without Cheng Hao around, and he himself didn't know what was going on.
He even felt a little regretful about telling Cheng Hao that he could rent the attic. If he hadn't told him, could he have slept with Cheng Hao for a few more days?
And then there's Cheng Hao's boxing job...
Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yuxun's mind, and he went to bed very late, but the next morning, his biological clock made him wake up early.
He hadn't slept well for two days and there were dark circles under his eyes.
As soon as Cheng Hao saw Lin Yuxun, he noticed Lin Yuxun's condition: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"I changed the place and couldn't sleep at first." Lin Yuxun said.
Cheng Hao had no doubts: "Let's go, wake Danny up and go to school for breakfast. We'll eat at school this morning and at noon, and we can buy some food to cook at home in the evening... From now on, we'll cook and eat at home, it will definitely be delicious."
When Lin Yuxun heard Cheng Hao's words and imagined them cooking together, his heart was moved.
That day, Cheng Hao accompanied Lin Yuxun to work as usual. After work, they bought some vegetables, eggs and beef to take home.
When they returned home they found Mr. Dampier with bricks and blocks, building the wall himself.
After Cheng Hao gave Mr. Danpier some advice, he thought it would cost him a lot of money to replace the door. After all, hiring someone to do the work here was not cheap. But what he didn't expect was that Mr. Danpier actually built the wall and installed the door himself...
He had half-built the walls on either side of the garage door, fixed an old door frame in the middle, and then began to build the rest of the wall.
Cheng Hao was impressed: "Mr. Dampier... is quite amazing."
Lin Yuxun said, "Mr. Danpier does know a lot of things. He can fix plumbing, door locks, and so on. But if you ask him to do it, he will charge you."
"Being a landlord does require a few more skills..." Cheng Hao said, "Speaking of which, my dream is to own a building in the future and live off the rent."
Lin Yuxun silently kept these words in mind and felt a little worried.
To build a building, you need to buy a piece of land and then build a house on it, which definitely costs a lot of money.
After returning home, Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun tried cooking.
Cheng Hao doesn't know how to cook, but having lived in China since he was a child, he still has some knowledge of cooking steps and dishes.
Lin Yuxun can cook. He has been cooking for his father since he was very young, but he can cook very few foods and only cook them thoroughly.
The two discussed it and finally decided that Lin Yuxun would be the chef, with Cheng Hao giving advice.
Then, they made three dishes: boiled broccoli, boiled peas and scrambled eggs. As for the staple food, it was the pancakes made by Lin Yuxun.
His father usually cooked by mixing various vegetables together, but he was very good at making noodles. He even taught Lin Yuxun how to make noodles. However, Lin Yuxun hadn't made it in several years...
Some of these foods are too salty, some are too bland, and some don’t look good. They are definitely not delicious, but at least they are edible.
None of the three of them were the type to waste food, so they ate quite a bit.
After eating, Cheng Hao left home to go out for exercise.
After the game on Tuesday night, he went shopping and moving on Wednesday. Today is Thursday, so he has to practice hard.
Another day passed and Friday arrived.
Cheng Hao did not train during the day on Tuesday, but he still did exercise on Friday.
He has now begun to adapt to high-intensity training and his condition will not deteriorate due to training. Under such circumstances, training naturally cannot stop for a day.
Cheng Hao was looking forward to the boxing match on Friday night, but Lin Yuxun was feeling uneasy.
Cheng Hao, will he get hurt again?
That night, after Cheng Hao left for the bar, Lin Yuxun also left and walked towards Old George's bar.
He wanted to find out what was going on; he didn't want Cheng Hao to get hurt.
When Cheng Hao arrived at Old George's bar that day, many people came to greet him.
Some of these people called him "Cheng" and some called him "little cutie", and they all asked him if he would play.
Most of the players competing here are amateurs. Many of them have competed once and may wait a month before competing again. Cheng Hao was injured in his last competition, so they are not sure whether Cheng Hao will participate this time.
"I will participate!" Cheng Hao gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
Of course he would participate in the competition. After all, only by participating in the competition could he get the money.
Moreover, he likes boxing and the feeling of fists and muscles colliding.
I just don't know who his opponent will be today.
