"Auntie, how much does this house cost?" Qiao Mo asked with a smile.
"This house is quite spacious, with a patio and a backyard. My family and I have discussed it and we want 6,000 yuan." The middle-aged woman quoted the price with a smile.
"Auntie, although your house is not large, it is a bungalow and the orientation is not very good. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. It must not be very comfortable to live in. Moreover, the walls are too long and it is made entirely of wood. The pillars are a bit tilted. You won't be able to live in it for many days before it needs to be demolished and rebuilt." Qiao Mo shook her head. This house was much worse than her house on Nanhai Road, but the price was about the same. She felt it was not worth it.
"Auntie, if you're serious about selling the house, just give us a fair price. Otherwise, it's going to be hard to sell."
"Miss, although the house is quite long, it's made of high-quality wood. As long as you take good care of it, you can live in it for ten or twenty generations without any problems. After a dozen generations, such a house will become outdated and will definitely need to be rebuilt, so the price is still reasonable."
"Auntie, even if we can only live in ten rooms, with a housing price of 6,000 yuan, the housing cost per room is 600 yuan, which is more than the salary of a state-owned enterprise employee. How many people can afford it?" Qiao Mo did the math with the middle-aged woman.
"Girl, even though the house can only accommodate ten people, the land is still large. With such a large piece of land, you can build the house in any style you want in the future." The middle-aged woman was not a fool.
"This piece of land is not worth much money." Qiao Mo shook his head. The land is indeed not valuable nowadays. You can buy a large piece of land for two hundred yuan.
The middle-aged woman thought about it and asked, "How much are you willing to pay, young lady?"
"Four thousand five." Qiao Mo estimated the price based on the price Wu Weiqian and his family paid for the house yesterday.
"Too low." The middle-aged woman shook her head. "There are so many rooms, they can accommodate several families. It would cost at least 5,500."
"Four thousand and eight, this is the highest price I can offer. If you don't think it's okay, I'll leave." Qiao Mo added another three hundred.
"Five thousand, at least five thousand." Seeing that she was about to leave, the middle-aged woman also quoted her lowest price.
"Okay, let's sign the purchase agreement now and go to the Housing Authority to transfer the ownership tomorrow afternoon." Qiao Mo nodded.
The middle-aged woman took out a pen and paper and wrote two copies of the house purchase agreement. After Qiao Mo signed, he took out two hundred yuan to pay the deposit and carefully put away another copy of the agreement. "I have classes tomorrow morning, so we'll go to the Housing Management Office this afternoon to handle the transfer."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the Housing Authority at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon." The middle-aged woman sent Qiao Mo out the door and tore off the note on the door.
Qiao Mo was in a particularly good mood after buying a house just by taking a casual walk: It seems that I still need to go out more in the future, otherwise I will miss out on good things even if they are right in front of me.
After returning home, Qiao Mo went back to his room to practice "The Secret of Herbs and Trees". After finishing the practice, he translated a novel for two hours before slipping into the space.
She first went to the back of the bungalow to pick up a piece of mature lilies. After leveling it, she evenly spread pepper seeds and eggplant seeds soaked in well water from a germination cup on the surface, covered it with a thin layer of soil, watered it, and waited for the seeds to germinate. When they grew about three inches tall, she transplanted them into the vegetable garden in the backyard.
