At that time, it will be 20 cents per pound. I will give you, an old man, 2 pounds a day, and you will still have to pay me 3 dollars. Let's see what you will do.
Yan Bugui was also afraid of this matter, as he would not be able to do it for long. He was an educated man, and this war, especially this Sijiu City, could not be resolved if it was besieged for several months.
Storing more food is the most important thing. Money is really irrelevant. As long as it can be settled in black and white, I will take advantage of it for three months first.
I quickly agreed.
Jia Youcai took Yan Bugui to the central courtyard, and called the few families who were still in the quadrangle to the backyard to gather together in the central courtyard.
Jia Youcai planned to hold a general meeting of the entire courtyard first, uh, it would be more appropriate to call it a small meeting. After all, the only families left now that have some wealth are Yi Zhonghai's family, Liu Haizhong's family, Xu Fugui's family, and the family of a deaf old lady of unknown identity.
After everyone came out, several families gathered together to look at Jia Youcai, very confused. They had never seen this man before, so what was he doing?
When he called people just now, he claimed that he had bought this yard and was now the landlord of the entire yard.
It turned out that the landlord, Mr. Niu, hadn't even said hello to them, and they didn't know whether it was true or not.
When Jia Youcai saw that everyone was present, he took out the house deed.
He showed it to several families and said, "You have all seen it, the owner of the house is Chen Xueru, that is my wife.
Lao Niu transferred the house to my family. He called everyone here today. There is nothing bad going on. You can live in the house as you wish. The rent is the same as before.
I don't live here. I'm sure you've all seen that the East Courtyard is being renovated. I had it built by someone, and I'll be living in the East Courtyard from now on. We'll still be neighbors. As for the many empty houses, I prepared them for my fellow villagers.
You may not know me? But it doesn't matter, you know Jia Gui, right? He's my eldest nephew.
I also invited He Daqing to the village to help with cooking.
It doesn't matter if you don't know me, you will get to know me slowly. Today I asked a few families to come here mainly to act as guarantors for me. I have signed a contract with Yan Bugui next to me and asked everyone to put their fingerprints on it to act as guarantors.
It's nothing bad. I'll explain it to everyone and your family will understand."
Wait until Jia Youcai explains everything agreed in the contract in detail.
Several people relaxed, but they thought to themselves that this was really something, so they immediately agreed, and looked at the skinny Yan Bugui with envy.
I'll make at least a few bucks this month, and all the risks will be thrown aside.
Jia Youcai accepted the deed and said to the families with a smile, "Masters, we have been talking for so long, but I still don't know the situation of each family. Please tell me about it."
At this time, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Boss, my name is Yi Zhonghai. There are only two of us at home. I work at Lou's Steel Rolling Mill. The mill has stopped operating, so we are all resting at home."
Jia Youcai nodded and said, "Lou's Steel Rolling Mill, right? I know, it's Lou Bancheng's family.
The price of food outside is too high now, and the steel mill cannot afford to support so many people. The money they earn is not enough to buy more food, so it is not cost-effective.
If you have nothing to do at home, you can go to the East Cross Courtyard to help out. It's not in vain. You saw the contract you just signed.
We will be neighbors in the future if we do the same thing. As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Although I don’t have much ability.
But compared to you, I'm still better. People should not only think about themselves, but also help others if they can.
How about it? Are you interested? Come and help me. I also want to finish the house before the end of the year and move in early. We will be neighbors from now on."
Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up. This landlord is not bad. He is rich but not overbearing. He even thinks of the neighbors he just met and speaks nicely. People should not only think about themselves. It is very mean. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. That is an old saying that is not wrong.
Yi Zhonghai said happily: "Thank you, boss. Don't worry. Although I can't build a house, I still have a lot of strength. This lifting work is not a problem. Just wait and see. I will definitely help you with it by the end of the year."
