Chapter 110 Nickname Li Bancheng
then.
After eating the noodles, Rong Mei and Uncle Li walked from the east to the west of the city and visited no less than seven or eight places.
"How about it? Do you like anything?" Uncle Li stood on the street and asked Rong Mei with a smile.
Rong Mei swallowed silently, recalling the places Uncle Li had taken her to see.
I was so surprised just now that I didn't pay much attention to the environment around the house.
When she was suddenly asked about this, she was a little confused.
Seeing Rong Mei's dazed look, Uncle Li didn't care. He handed a bunch of keys that were heavy and clanging to Rong Mei, "How about you take these keys and bring your mother to have a look later. But you have to try these keys one by one. I can't tell which one is which. Anyway, this bunch of keys are all house keys."
Rong Mei did not refuse. She took the heavy bunch of keys from Uncle Li and planned to bring Liu Rong to choose a place later.
Licking his dry lips, he said, "Well, Uncle Li, can I ask how many houses you have?"
Uncle Li frowned, thought for a while, and then answered Rong Mei, "There are more in the south of the city, about eight or nine, six in the east, three in the north, and the rest are shops. My noodle shop has eight on this street, and your clothing store has eight on that street, except for yours, the ones next to you are all mine. There are also two on Yangqi Street, and there are on Shangxin Street..."
This this this!!!
Opening a noodle shop is not just about finding something to do to kill time...
I originally thought that the noodle shop belonged to Uncle Li, but...
Oh, I won’t say any more. I won’t say any more. She has come to broaden her horizons today.
Isn't it just about spiritual pursuits? After all, if you can live a life without worries about food and drink just by collecting rent, why would you need economic pursuits?
Family property, these are all real family property. Even though some yards are old and dilapidated, a house can be divided into several houses and rented out. The rent is not expensive, and some houses only cost three or four yuan a month.
But the place is big and the number of people is large!
In a few years, when these old and dilapidated buildings are demolished, how much compensation will be required?
Not to mention there are so many shops.
Originally, she was afraid that Uncle Li would not accept the two thousand yuan she gave him, so she went to Zhai Yongshou to write a note and donated the money in the name of "public".
Now it seems that even if the money is not given in her personal name, Uncle Li may not accept it.
As they walked, Uncle Li recalled his memories to Rong Mei.
"These are all left by our ancestors. My grandfather was one of the biggest landlords here at that time. He was nicknamed 'Li Bancheng'. At that time, he loved buying houses and shops... As for what happened later, you may not know about those years since you were young. Anyway, my family was sent down to the countryside and shot. I used to be a naughty boy. I loved to wield swords and sticks since I was a child. When I was younger than you, I was thrown into the military camp at the age of fifteen or sixteen, so I was able to avoid all these..."
Uncle Li seemed very calm when talking about these past events. It didn't seem like he was recounting his own past, but rather telling someone else's story.
At the end, he finally let out a long sigh, with a feeling of melancholy and regret for the fate, "Anyway, the situation has changed in the past two years, and these houses have come back to me."
When Rong Mei heard the name "Li Bancheng", her lips twitched.
I thought, if everything is returned, Uncle Li will be the new Li Bancheng.
But this is already amazing enough.
The two of them walked to the fork in the street, and Rong Mei said goodbye to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, I'll take the key with me first. I'll take my mother to look at the house later. I'll give you the key tomorrow morning and book the house with you."
"Okay, you can bring it over anytime. I'm not in a hurry."
Uncle Li waved with a smile, then turned right and walked towards the noodle shop.
Rong Mei walked into the alley carrying a bunch of keys.
As soon as she reached the door of the store, Liu Rong spotted her with her sharp eyes.
He quickly came over and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Rong Mei knew without guessing that it must be Liu Rong who placed the order.
Sure enough, Liu Rong first asked her where she had been and why it took her so long to come back.
Then she told her that she had just sold two pieces of clothing. Although the orders were not as big as the two sold by Rong Mei, it was her first order alone. She was very excited and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Mom, you are so awesome." Rong Mei first smiled and praised Liu Rong.
Then he raised the heavy keys in his hand and said with a smile, "I just went to see the house."
"Looking at a house?" Liu Rong then noticed the bunch of keys in Rong Mei's hand and repeated it suspiciously.
Rong Mei walked into the store side by side with Liu Rong, walked to the cashier, picked up her teacup and took a sip of water, nodded, "Yes, we will close early later, I will take you to look at the house, I have seen several places, my eyes are dazzled, you can go and take a look later and make a decision, then we can pay the deposit and rent it tomorrow."
"Why have you seen so many?" Liu Rong was distracted by the house and forgot about asking why there were so many keys.
"Yes, I finished reading it in a flash." Rong Mei nodded, put down the teacup, took out a handkerchief from the drawer and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She ran from the east to the west of the city in a flash, and the journey made her exhausted in her high heels.
Besides, Uncle Li was a retired soldier after all, and his steps were as fast as the wind, so she could only follow closely behind him.
"Then you take a rest. We'll go check it out again at dinner time later. It would be best if we can finalize it today and move in tomorrow."
When she heard that a house had been found, Liu Rong immediately started to think in her mind that it would be a good idea to close the store early today and go take a look. The sooner the house issue was finalized, the more she could focus on the store.
Moreover, the shop is open until after eight o'clock in the evening, so if you miss an order, you will miss out on a lot of money.
So she chose to look at houses during dinner time, so that everyone would be eating at home and there would be fewer people walking around the streets, so the chance of missing out on business would be smaller.
Rong Mei naturally knew what Liu Rong was planning, but she had no objection. It was mealtime, so it didn't matter whether she ate early or late.
