Chapter 127 What a Cheap!
Wen Kexin murmured in her heart: After the reform and opening up, many courtyard houses near the roadside have been converted into shops, and the disadvantages will soon become advantages.
This small courtyard house has a good geographical location, located in the second ring road, and has great potential for future appreciation.
Thinking of this, he was overjoyed, but on the surface he said calmly: "Sister, I think it's better to guard the roadside. It's convenient for going in and out."
"Too!"
When they walked into the yard, Wen Kexin found that this was a typical small courtyard house.
The ancient atmosphere is overwhelming, the architectural style with carved beams and painted buildings is eye-catching, the courtyard is paved with blue bricks, and the tall walls on all four sides give people a full sense of security.
There are three main rooms and three east and west wing rooms, which look neat and clean.
The yard seemed very spacious, and there was a pomegranate tree with many green and lovely pomegranates on it.
There are stone tables and chairs under the pomegranate tree, which are used for cooling off in the summer.
There is a small vegetable garden near the front wall, but because no one takes care of it, it is overgrown with weeds.
Gao Yunyi continued to introduce enthusiastically, "Sister, these pomegranates will not be ripe for more than a month. When they are ripe in the past two years, I will pick them and give them to everyone to eat. By the way, if I didn't tell you that this house has been renovated, can you tell?"
Wen Kexin shook her head and said, "I can't tell. They should have been repaired by a professional ancient building craftsman, right?"
There was one more question I couldn’t help but ask: The cost of repairs must be high?
I soon remembered that this house was left for the leader, and it suddenly became clear.
This era is not like the later generations, although leaders have relatively higher salaries.
Most leaders with a sense of justice will consciously set aside a portion of their salary to support their comrades and subordinates who are living in poverty.
So, they don't have any savings.
Most people think that buying a house here in the city is useless.
Only a small number of people are short of money, so no one is interested in this house.
Gao Yunyi praised with satisfaction: "Sister, you are really amazing. You even know the craftsmen of ancient buildings! By the way, those two courtyards are more dilapidated than this one. The main house also has three rooms, and there are only three west wing rooms. The courtyard is not as big as this one. Of course, the price is relatively cheaper..."
Wen Kexin asked nervously: "Sister, how much is this house?"
"Two thousand three, this price is also a discount price, the market price is more than three thousand."
Wen Kexin muttered to herself: What a cheap thing!
Without hesitation, he said, "Sister, I want this house!"
Gao Yunyi asked caringly: "Sister, why don't you go and see the other two houses?"
Wen Kexin shook her head and said, "No, I trust my elder sister's taste and I want to buy the best."
"Okay then. Song Mo is not at home. Do you have enough money? If not, I will help you make up the difference."
Wen Kexin calculated in her mind that the money in her savings book plus the money in her hand was almost enough, so if she found some time today to sell the processed deer antlers, it should be enough.
"Big sister, I appreciate your kindness. I earned some money from collecting herbs in my hometown, plus the money my parents gave me when I went out, and the money Song Mo gave me. That day, Song Mo and I went to the mountains to catch a deer, and took the time to prepare the deer antlers. I will process them later, and it should be enough."
Gao Yunyi of course knew that Song Mo had shot a deer that day and treated everyone to meat in the cafeteria.
She didn't expect Ke Xin to be so efficient and had already processed the antlers.
"Okay, give me the money and I'll help you with the formalities."
"Big sister, wait until I finish the formalities, and you can take a key too. When the pomegranates here are ripe, big sister will pick them and leave some for home. If you can't eat them all, you can share them with everyone."
Gao Yunyi quickly thought of the two people's situation, nodded and said: "Okay, if you are not here, I will help you take care of this yard."
After she was relieved of her worries, Wen Kexin said to Gao Yunyi, "Sister, I'm going to do some work now. See you at the place where we're waiting for the bus at 3 pm."
"Okay, I want to go buy something too!"
Half an hour later, Wen Kexin walked into a Chinese medicine store.
She respectfully asked the honest and simple old man who was drinking tea at the counter: "Comrade, do you sell processed deer antlers here?"
The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up, and he quickly put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Take it out and have a look!"
Wen Kexin took off her backpack and took out a cloth bag containing the cooked venison.
The old man took a magnifying glass to look at it carefully, pinched off a little and put it in his mouth to taste it, and couldn't help but praise it, saying: "The wild deer antler is well prepared, it is a top-grade product!"
Wen Kexin was overjoyed, "Old man, how much is it per gram?"
"The best quality ones cost 3.2 cents per gram. I see that you have less than 4 kilograms of velvet antlers."
When in the town, Wen Kexin saw the price list of purchased medicinal materials from Danggui. Although she only took a quick look, she clearly remembered that the price of purchasing deer antlers in the town was not as high as here.
Considering that this is the center of the motherland, it is normal for the prices to be higher.
She asked tentatively, "Old man, how do you collect this 40-year-old fresh wild ginseng?"
"If it's in good condition, it's about a thousand dollars."
She immediately felt distressed and complained strongly: What a loss! Rhubarb and Angelica may seem like nice people, but they are actually businessmen who will not do anything without profit.
wrong! It should be because local prices are relatively cheaper, and this cannot be blamed on master and apprentice Dahuang and Danggui. If you have any valuable medicinal materials in the future, you can put them in the space and sell them here. There are many rich people here, so the prices are relatively high. ”
"Girl, are you selling these antlers?"
Wen Kexin nodded readily and said, "Sell it, you weigh it!"
A few minutes later, after weighing and counting the money, she earned more than 500 yuan.
She put the money into the space and left happily.
It’s still early, so I don’t want to go shopping in the department store.
Thinking about how there are so many good things in the space, but I am often short of money, I suddenly feel a little angry.
I don't know if there is a black market here, I'll just take a look if I wander around.
Anyway, it's a one-time deal. If you can sell something, that's even better. If not, just take it as a walk.
She didn't want to go to a dangerous place with her true face, so she went to a public toilet, went in to put on some simple makeup, changed her clothes, and walked out.
When other people go shopping, they just go wherever is busy.
But she did the opposite and went to the corners and alleys.
Half an hour later, she walked into an alley near the residential area and found several children playing skipping rope in the alley.
The door of the house next door was open, and two young boys were inside with their backs to the door, whispering something to each other.
She walked on without looking around, but listened attentively.
Then I heard the young man with a duck voice in the yard whisper: "Brother, I heard that the black market is open today, I want to buy some food..."
The older boy was obviously calmer, thought for a moment and said, "I'll get you the money, be careful! If you find something wrong, be smart and throw away the food."
"good!"
Wen Kexin was delighted, this was truly a case of finding something without any effort!
Walking out of the alley, she hid in the corner and looked at the door from time to time. Soon she saw the young and thin boy coming out and hurriedly walking to the other side of the alley.
Wen Kexin followed the young man not too far away.
Arriving at the gate of a large compound, the young man whispered something to the old man guarding the gate and went in.
Wen Kexin was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks.
What did the brat say?
Is this a black market?
Are you going in? Or wait outside?
