The renting of houses in the street market is too chaotic, Jiang Ning discussed with Huo Yishen, "How about trying your luck in the villa area?"

Yes, not only the survivors of the lower class gathered here, but also many wealthy people with sharp eyes flocked here.

The villa area is three or four kilometers away from the beach, located on the mountain, relatively close to the pier and port. Walking along the coastal road, you can vaguely see European-style villas looming in the mountains and forests. It took

a long time to drive there. There was a security booth at the foot of the mountain. There were fifteen or sixteen people, and all of them were patrolling with weapons.

When they saw a car coming, they immediately became alert and gestured from a distance to stop it.

They were wearing uniform security uniforms.

The leader was about 30 years old, his skin was tanned by the scorching sun, "What do you do?"

Jiang Ning lowered the window, "Excuse me, is there a house for rent?"

Good guy, the sour smell of sweat almost drove him away.

The man covered his nose and stepped back. Seeing that the two men were not only dressed in rags, but also had a broken car, he immediately said impatiently: "No, you guys should leave quickly, this is not a place you can afford to live in."

There are too many people like this who run around to attract business before natural disasters. Jiang Ning didn't get angry at all, took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over, "Brother, help me."

Seeing the cigarettes, the man's eyes were straight.

God knows, he hasn't smelled cigarettes for two years. You know, he used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, but now he can't even eat a full meal, let alone smoke a cigarette.

If you want it, you can only have it in your dreams.

He quickly put the cigarette into his pocket, fearing that someone would find out and divide it up if he was a little late.

The man put on a smile and his tone changed 180 degrees, "No problem, the house is still available, but the rent is a bit expensive."

Rich people know how to have fun. They dress up to avoid being robbed. No wonder I was wrong.

Look carefully. Don't be fooled by their dirty clothes and pale faces. The flesh on their bodies can't deceive people.

Jiang Ning asked, "How is the rent calculated?"

"This is all villas, rented out by the unit, and almost all of them have been rented out by wealthy people. Now there are only a few units near the top of the mountain left."

The man's surname is Luo, and he smiled and said, "You can just call me Lao Luo."

He immediately introduced that there are hundreds of houses in the villa area. After the extreme cold ended, they were renovated and rented out one after another by wealthy people who moved to the seaside. It is

also very simple to rent, as long as you meet the conditions.

For all residents, each villa cannot have more than eight people, and all must register their ID cards. During the rental period, outsiders cannot be brought in at will, and daily entry and exit must be supervised by security guards.

"There are more requirements, but they are all for the safety of tenants." Lao Luo explained: "We are quite safe here. There are people patrolling 24 hours a day, and the relationship is strong. Ordinary refugees dare not break in. You don't have to worry about living here."

Jiang Ning expressed his understanding and smiled: "What about the rent?"

"300 kilograms of food per month, no dried seafood or salt."

300 kilograms of food? Jiang Ning took a breath of cool air. On the way here, he met villagers from the fishing village who came out to solicit customers. The rent was 8 kilograms of food per month.

However, this is a villa area, so it's a different matter.

Jiang Ning looked at Huo Yishen and asked for his opinion with his eyes.

He brought two with him when he went out, and he came to stock up, so safety was the most important thing.

Huo Yishen had no objection. The rent was indeed expensive, but Jiang Ning's space could be used for planting, so it was not a big problem.

Jiang Ning was thoughtful, "What does the food include?"

"Rice, flour, oil, grain, tea, tobacco, and alcohol are counted separately. Miscellaneous grains such as soybeans and mung beans are also fine. If you want potatoes and sweet potatoes, the quantity will have to be increased accordingly."

"How much potatoes?" "

Double the price for cold-resistant potatoes and 50% for ordinary potatoes."

Jiang Ning had no objection, "Can you take us to see a house first?"

Lao Luo had no problem. He returned to the security booth, rode on his patrol donkey, and slowly drove towards the villa area on the mountain.

Jiang Ning opened the car window and looked around and listened to everything.

Judging from the security formation and the donkeys, the security facilities in the villa area are still relatively good. Many trees on the mountain were not frozen to death. The humid air gave them new life and they have grown green leaves.

The villas are built along the winding mountain road, with one villa every few dozen meters.

The two-story semi-European-style villa has solar generators installed on many rooftops, and all the balcony windows are surrounded by stainless steel nets.

It is close to the sea, the wind is relatively strong, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the water vapor is sufficient. The drought situation is much alleviated than Fengcheng, and there are lush green trees all around.

The car drove very slowly, and Jiang Ning even heard the sound of the diesel engine.

Some villas even have glass greenhouses, parasols, and beach chairs. Beautiful fair-skinned women put on sun glasses and drank iced drinks to take a morning sunbath.

Those who don't know would think this is a holiday paradise. The apocalypse of natural disasters is all bullshit!

When the car drove to the middle of the mountain, Jiang Ning looked down the mountain and saw children playing football on the rooftop.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh that even in the same natural disaster mode, people's lives are still very different.

The trees are lush in the middle of the mountain, and the summer heat is not that severe. All the villas have been rented out, leaving only three villas near the top of the mountain.

Lao Luo parked the car and opened the gate of the villa, "You can drive your car in."

Lao Luo was not surprised to see a child walk out of the broken car, but he was still shocked when he saw the majestic dog.

There are two or three households in the villa area that have pets, some with cats and some with dogs, but they are all small pets and don't eat much.

What conditions are needed to raise a dog so... fat and strong.

Lao Luo couldn't help but take a closer look, but found that the dog's eyes were full of murderous intent. Looking at its posture that seemed to be ready to fight at any time, it felt like it could jump up and tear him to pieces at any moment. I

shuddered in the early morning and didn't dare to look at it again.

Jiang Ning waved her hand, and the fierce dog instantly turned into a sheep, circling around her obediently.

The villa is very big, with sculptures and fountains in the front yard. The flowers and plants have died due to the high temperature and drought.

The appearance is high-end and classy. There are four rooms on each floor, but the decent furniture is almost gone, but the air conditioner on the wall is still there.

It can be seen that this place has been renovated and painted, and the water pipes have been replaced.

Standing on the balcony, you can see the blue sea.

So, expensive is for a reason.

Jiang Ning was quite satisfied, and then went to see the remaining two buildings.

The architectural design is similar, but the villa on the top of the mountain is located at a higher altitude, surrounded by fewer tall trees, and is obviously much hotter than the halfway point, but the view and scenery are better.

Lao Luo asked, "Are you planning to rent it?"

Jiang Ning didn't rush to express himself, "Brother Luo, I won't hide it from you, we are here to do business, we want to sell sea salt and dried goods, is this business possible?"

"As long as there is a way, why can't I do it?"

Unable to resist the urge to smoke, Lao Luo lit up a cigarette, his eyes intoxicated and confused, but soon he talked eloquently, "This kind of horrible weather has forced people to have no way to survive, and everyone is running to the sea.

There are too many people, not everyone can survive, you need a boat to go out to sea to fish, but the boat is either owned by the country or in the hands of the rich.

Some smart and hardworking people take seawater to make salt and sell it to shops or exchange it for seafood. , but the weather was too hot and the salt was not easy to control, and many people were sunburned.

There were also those who wanted to get something for nothing, so they could only rob everywhere. Some of them came from a village, and some from a region, and they went everywhere in groups to cause trouble.

Many people rented in fishing villages, and their doors were broken into in the middle of the night, and some of them specifically robbed children. "

While saying this, I did not forget to remind the two people to take good care of the children when taking them out, and as for dogs, it is best not to take them out, for fear that they would never come back and be targeted.
