The members were pretty good, all the potatoes were good and of fairly uniform size.
In addition to planting beans, the two of them harvested a total of 2,000 kilograms of fresh potatoes.
After confirming that there was no problem, Jiang Ning returned the solar generator to Aoyuan.
Just as they were about to leave in the car, He Tianming stopped them and said, "The villa in the new city area is only about to be capped. When I was doing the grain delivery procedures in the work hall yesterday, I accidentally saw a rich man secretly choosing a house.
There are only 50 villas in the first phase, and building materials are in short supply right now. It’s unclear when the second phase will start construction, so hurry up and pick a house.”
Jiang Ning was stunned. He didn't expect that he was still naive and waited obediently for the official notification.
Why do the authorities insist on building villas when there is such a shortage of building materials?
Of course, they are grateful for what they have received. They have confiscated the factories, land or materials of the rich and entrepreneurs, and they always want something in return.
Why does a three-bedroom, one-living-room villa cost 50,000 points?
Because it was not prepared for ordinary people from the beginning. 50,000 points are just to raise the threshold so that the bottom survivors cannot reach it.
"Thank you, Captain He."
Get in the car and head to the new city area, driving on the bumpy road.
Jiang Ning asked, "Are there any second-phase villas in the new city?"
Huo Yishen recalled carefully, "Probably not, but there are plans for the second and third phases of commercial housing."
There is no way. Only a very small number of people can live in villas, and the authorities have to focus on the survivors at the bottom.
So, you can’t live in a villa just by accumulating enough points.
Jiang Ning had a bad feeling that the villa was probably in danger.
Buying a property is never an easy matter.
Those with connections had already made their selections before the sale opened, while those who were willing to wait for the sale had no choice but to face the sight of the tickets being sold out as soon as they opened, even if they lined up at three in the morning.
I haven't been to Wangwan for two months, and there have been earth-shaking changes.
The construction site is in full swing, with gray and unfinished houses everywhere.
All commercial housing units are only six stories high, with each room being seven or eight square meters, so you can bump into things when turning around.
Jiang Ning finally saw what is called a subdivided flat.
The streets are neatly planned and are all simple dirt roads.
The central hall was crowded with people, some were earning points and some were exchanging supplies.
After wandering around, I finally found an inconspicuous real estate center, where two staff members were dozing off.
Jiang Ning said politely: "Excuse me, I'm here to choose an independent courtyard."
The female staff member didn't even raise her head. "It's not open yet. Go back and wait for notification."
Jiang Ning was not angry. "Hasn't it almost been chosen? What does it have to do with the opening?"
"It's an independent courtyard, right?" The male staff member on the right looked up and said, "How many points do you have?
"integral."
"The housing selection is based on the points. If you don't get a room this time, you can wait for the next one."
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes. "According to the rules at the time, the points were enough. There was no mention of the number of points."
"You are right, but under the same conditions, we can only give priority to those with higher scores. Please understand."
OK, this explanation is indeed official enough.
That was in the work hall. If it was outside, Jiang Ning would have drawn his sword long ago.
What a pretext! The final right of interpretation lies with the official.
But killing people won't solve the problem. There's no point in making a fuss about 50 villas.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, took out two bottles of Moutai from his bag and stuffed them over, smiling and saying, "Can you please do me a favor?"
Maotai? Their eyes lit up immediately.
They looked at each other and quickly hid the wine.
"Well, you guys came just in time. There's only one set left."
Jiang Ning believed her, it was impossible, as they were all reserved for the upper class.
The staff took out the blueprints, and Jiang Ning quickly pointed to the villa in the center position, "I want this one."
The staff member with a twitching mouth said euphemistically: "This set costs 500,000 points."
Jiang Ning, who only had 50,000 points, "..."
50,000 versus 500,000? Even though the paper pictures are the same, smart people know there is something fishy going on.
The woman took out a pen and drew three circles on the drawing. "You can choose a set from them."
It turned out to be the leftovers.
There is no other way. Anyone who can live in a villa worth 500,000 points must have provided significant help to the authorities.
Facing the reality, Jiang Ning was not jealous and pointed decisively at the one in the corner, "This is it."
She took out her points card and handed it over.
The staff swiped the card to issue the invoice, "Deliver refined grain or coarse grain? Coarse grain is doubled."
Refined grains refer to rice, flour, corn, etc., while coarse grains refer to sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.
Jiang Ning didn't hesitate, "Half each."
There is a clear distinction between day and night in this space. Although the potatoes were planted at the same time, they are not harvested until half a month apart. However, the six acres of corn planted earlier are now ripe.
Keep half of it fresh for daily consumption, and dry and thresh the rest.
Fortunately, we have harvesters and peelers, otherwise we would be busy all day long.
After handing over the receipt, the staff member instructed, "Pay all the grain within three days, and bring the receipt back to apply for the certificate after paying the grain."
Jiang Ning thanked him, and then handed over two more cards, "My friend has two more commercial properties."
The staff was speechless. Moutai was indeed difficult to get.
It doesn't matter who you hold the ceremony for, wine is a good thing, so the two of them still did it.
"Which room do you want?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, "Is there one opposite the police station?"
It's right under the nose of the police station. Even if there are really thugs in Yongye causing chaos, they should not dare to commit crimes opposite the police station.
The staff handed over the drawings and said, "Yes, but it's not built yet."
After a brief discussion with Huo Yishen, Jiang Ning asked for rooms 301 and 302 on the third floor.
I have mixed feelings, but it is still a good deal to be able to book a house with two bottles of Moutai.
It’s not easy to come here, Jiang Ning wants to hand over the food before going back.
Huo Yishen had no objection. The climate had been relatively stable in the past six months, and many survivors had seized the opportunity to plant crops. Even if they delivered new grain, it would not be conspicuous.
Therefore, Jiang Ning prepared 3,000 kilograms of cold-resistant potatoes and 1,500 kilograms of corn, and went to a remote place and then took the goods out of the truck.
Driving to make deliveries.
It’s true, it’s easier to get things done if you find the right way. Rules can only restrain honest people.
There were quite a few trucks coming to deliver grain, truckloads of rice, wheat, and corn. It was obvious from the looks of it that they were from rich people.
There were also those who came pulling carts and tricycles. These were the lower-middle class survivors who had connections, and most of them bought commercial housing.
After waiting in line for two hours, it was finally Jiang Ning's turn to deliver the grain.
Whether it is potatoes or corn, the quality is impeccable and they are weighed and ordered quickly.
I took the receipt back to the work center, only to find that there were dozens of people queuing at the real estate center, all waiting to choose a house.
Most of them are middle-aged or elderly, and are better dressed than ordinary survivors.
Jiang Ning listened a few times at the back of the line and found out that they were family members of a scientific research unit.
Scientific researchers contribute to the country day and night. Their housing is free, and they do not need to pay points or housing allowance.
As I was listening, a familiar voice sounded, "Xiao Jiang?"
