Xing Shuyu was stunned for a moment. It was free.
After the end of the world, water resource development was interrupted, and existing water resources were gradually polluted. Nowadays, the price of drinking water remains high, and water bills almost account for a large part of a family's expenses.
It’s actually free in Taoyang?
The other tenants had the same expression as Xing Shuyu, and were a little bit unconvinced.
Su Tao opened the cabinet under the water dispenser: "There are cups inside for you to take. It is recommended to write your name on them. Then there is a breakfast machine over here. The average price of each serving is 30 federal coins. There is a limit of ten servings per day. You can buy them if you need them."
When Xing Shuyu saw the breakfast machine, she was almost speechless for a moment.
This is so convenient.
There are a wide variety of items, including leavened bread, buttered bread, milk, and porridge. It seems that none of them are artificial or synthetic foods, which is outrageous.
She was very familiar with the living conditions of the top group of people in Dongyang. Her grandfather, the old leader, rarely had access to such food.
Compared to Xing Shuyu's deep thoughts, the other tenants thought much more simply. They just thought that Taoyang was good, a welfare institution, where the fine food that rich people could eat was available, and they also had the opportunity to spend a little money to buy it and try it.
The introduction was almost over, and Su Tao added:
"Right now, it's a little inconvenient for you to do your laundry. In a few days, I'll install a few washing machines in the common area. You can use them for free if you need them. You'll just have to pay a deposit in advance. If there's no damage to the common area or the furnishings in the room, the deposit will be refunded when you move out."
Lu Tao's wife thanked Su Tao gratefully.
Others also expressed their gratitude, saying that they had only been disliked or driven away by landlords before, but never had a landlord been so considerate of them.
Su Tao quickly waved her hand: "You're welcome. As long as you live in a comfortable place, I'll find a sunny spot outside and buy a few clothes drying poles. It will get damp if you hang clothes in the room all the time."
Lu Tao's wife was so moved that her eyes turned red.
Xing Shuyu began to reflect. She realized that her family also had two other empty rooms that were rented out to other people. She only collected rent regularly every month and never asked the tenants whether they were comfortable living there.
This Taoyang seems very similar to the time before the end of the world, and is very humane.
After Su Tao finished her introduction, the eight tenants happily paid the first month's rent, received their door cards, and returned to their rooms excitedly.
Su Tao earned 70,000 federal coins this time, but still could not meet the requirements for level 3 upgrade. The system prompted that an additional condition of more than 20 rooms in total was required.
Su Tao did some calculations and found that she currently had 6 single rooms and 7 double rooms, a total of 13 rooms, and she needed to build 7 more.
As expected, the higher you go, the more upgrade conditions there are.
Su Tao was not in a hurry to expand the room. She first installed a back door.
Then I ordered 6 washing machines and placed them on both sides of the door, and bought four long floor-standing clothes racks on both sides outside the door.
In this way, tenants can wash their clothes indoors and then hang them outside through the door, which is very convenient.
We also ordered four sets of dining tables and chairs, which were placed against the wall in the common area, next to a breakfast machine, making it convenient for tenants to buy breakfast and sit down to eat.
I also bought two more three-seater sofas, which together with the original sofa can seat 12 people.
The total cost of the above is exactly 10,000 federal coins.
In this way, Su Tao is getting closer and closer to her ideal home.
She walked around with satisfaction and then went back to her room. Her bedroom was quite large, but the few scattered pieces of furniture made it look very empty.
So she divided the bedroom into a sleeping and resting area and a leisure area. She bought a small double sofa for the leisure area, and paired it with soft square pillows and blankets, which felt very happy to touch.
She also placed a small bookshelf next to the sofa. Of course, she didn't have any books on it yet, so she used it to store miscellaneous items temporarily.
You can usually lie on the sofa and relax, with a wool blanket under your feet, so you can go barefoot.
There is also a full-length mirror next to the bedroom door so you can put on your makeup before going out.
The total cost of the above was less than 4,000 federal coins, allowing her to have a very comfortable little nest. After the decoration was completed, she stayed in it for the entire afternoon and would not have wanted to come out if she was not hungry.
As soon as she came out, she saw the young girl named Xing Shuyu who rented the single room No. 006 taking food from the breakfast machine.
Su Tao didn't think much about it and greeted him friendly: "Hello, is this what you're having for dinner?"
Xing Shuyu felt guilty and quickly put three breakfasts into her bag, saying:
"Oh yes, I have friends who haven't eaten yet, so I'll buy a few more."
It would have been fine if she didn't explain. As soon as she did, Su Tao became sensitive and felt that something was wrong. She started to care about her and watched her leave Taoyang late at night carrying three breakfasts.
Why is this person so weird? Su Tao went back to the room and found out Xing Shuyu's personal information.
Xing Shuyu, 23 years old, currently works as a clerk in the Dongyang government. She has no criminal record and all three generations of her immediate family live in Dongyang.
Su Tao looked left and right but couldn't see any problem, so she had to give up and observe it for a while longer.
Xing Shuyu carried three breakfasts back to her home like a thief.
Xing's mother came over with a distressed look on her face. "What's the environment like? How many people live in one room? Is it one of those dark, big bunk beds with all kinds of people living there? My poor girl, your grandfather is really cruel."
Xing Shuyu quickly interrupted her: "No, no, no, it's okay to live here."
She paused, feeling that her wording was inappropriate: "It's pretty good. It's cleaner and more convenient than our home anyway. I won't say anymore, Mom. I'm in a hurry to report to Grandpa on my work."
Xing's mother: "Fine? Hey hey—leaving so soon, go out slowly!"
Xing Shuyu saw her ancestor, opened her schoolbag, and placed three breakfasts in front of the gray-haired old man:
"Grandpa, I won't tell you anything else. This is the convenient breakfast that Taoyang provides to its tenants. It's in the vending machine at the door. If you want to eat it, you can buy it yourself. A portion is only twenty or thirty yuan."
Xing Hongwen put down the book in his hand, glanced at the three meals on the table, looked up at his granddaughter and said:
"It seems that you are quite satisfied."
Xing Shuyu said awkwardly, "It's okay. It's clean and convenient to live in."
Of course Xing Hongwen knew her character. The fact that she received such an evaluation from her picky and eccentric granddaughter showed that the living environment in Taoyang was really good.
He opened one of the portions, and the aroma of the hot tofu bun hit him directly. There was also a round boiled egg next to it. Even the porridge was still hot. He lifted the lid and smelled the rice fragrance.
A trace of emotion appeared on Xing Hongwen's wrinkled face. He opened the disposable soup spoon, scooped a mouthful of white porridge into his mouth.
The familiar taste melted in his mouth, as if taking him back to twenty years ago, an era of peace, prosperity and stability.
