If it weren't for the fact that the people she's currently hiring to build the house are all bricklayers from the countryside, Ning Jing would have liked to build a few more floors.
However, for safety reasons, four floors is already quite high.
Even so, this newly built house still attracted a lot of attention in the surrounding area.
After all, nowadays, unless it's a government-built house, it's rare to find a building that's four stories high.
It took about six months to completely renovate the house.
The interior and exterior were plastered with snow-white putty, and the rooms were not only clean, but each room was also designed as a two-bedroom, one-living room room, with a kitchen and a bathroom.
Compared to those public houses where the kitchen and bathroom are shared, this place is something that would make anyone envious.
After deducting the 1,000 yuan for buying the house, and then hiring someone to build it, the cost of materials and labor totaled more than 6,000 yuan.
During the construction of the house, Ning Jing rented a stall in the vegetable market to sell cooked food and braised dishes.
Their main products are braised chicken and braised duck, and they also sell pork head meat and other similar items.
Because of its delicious taste, the freshly prepared braised dishes are basically sold out every day.
Fu Hongxing focused on supervising the construction of the house. After half a year, he lost a lot of weight, got a lot tanned, and his skin peeled off in several layers.
Fortunately, the Zhao family helped us; otherwise, I really don't know how we would have survived.
"Ning Jing, how do you all manage to stay in so many rooms?"
Wang Guihua and Ning Jing stood together in front of the street-facing houses, looking up at the towering buildings in front of them, their mouths agape in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the Fu family has set up such a large area in the city.
Ning Jing smiled slightly. This house only looks good now. But wait ten years, and you'll see. There will be new buildings all around, and her house will definitely be just an inconspicuous place.
"Sister Guihua, we definitely can't live in all these houses, so we'll put them up for rent."
I also plan to rent out three of the storefronts below.
She only needs one shop to open a braised food store, but just in case, she keeps an extra one for herself so she can use it if she wants to do other business.
Upon hearing Ning Jing's words, Wang Guihua's heart stirred.
My eyes turned toward the shop that Ning Jing had mentioned. It was located at the entrance and exit of the vegetable market, a bustling place with people coming and going.
No matter what kind of shop you open, you're bound to have business.
"Ning Jing, how many of these storefronts do you plan to rent out?"
"It costs 150 yuan per month, and rooms cost 40 yuan, 60 yuan, and 80 yuan per month respectively."
Wang Guihua's eyes widened in surprise. Would anyone rent such an expensive place?
As it turned out, Wang Guihua's worries were unnecessary. After Ning Jing posted the red paper, people started coming to inquire about the shop.
As for housing, not many people came to inquire.
Nowadays, a person's salary is only thirty or forty yuan, and the rent for this house is a month's salary. If you rent a house like this, what will you eat and use?
Of course, there are also those with high salaries, but as long as you work in a factory for a sufficient number of years, the company will naturally allocate you a government-owned house.
Ning Jing wasn't in a hurry. First, she called a carpenter to make a bed frame, then put on wooden planks, and then built a desk and a cabinet. Basically, with that kind of house, you could move in with just your bags and bedding.
Many people initially look at houses just to take a look.
After actually seeing the inside of the house, and then looking at houses that were even worse, I immediately felt the difference.
