Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

That day, Yue Feng was strolling on the streets of the city, and unknowingly came to the area in the south of the city near the Forestry Bureau dormitory.

Because this place is close to the Forestry Bureau, several self-built housing estates were built nearby to serve as dormitories for dual-income employees. They are all the old-style, multi-story tube-shaped buildings.

Yue Feng originally didn't have any hope for this area, because it was a little bit away from the current city center streets and was not in Yue Feng's preferred area.

But as he walked, not far from the side of the street, an old courtyard that looked a bit dilapidated and in disrepair caught Yue Feng's attention.

An old man who looked to be around 60 years old was using glue to stick a red piece of paper with the words "House for sale at a low price" on the doorpost at the entrance of the courtyard.

After seeing the words on the red paper clearly, Yue Feng did not say anything, but stood on the side of the road and looked up and down at the yard.

The courtyard is a brick house with green bricks and red tiles. There are at least six rooms on the street side, and there should be a few more at the back that cannot be seen clearly for the time being.

Judging from the style of the house, one can tell at a glance that this should have been a house built by a wealthy old family in Fengcheng in the past.

At that time, there was no concept of street shops. The yard was purely for self-residence, and it just happened that a new road was planned outside the door.

The southern part of the city may not seem very lively now, but Yue Feng knows that with urban planning and development, it won’t take many years for the city to expand outward along the southern part of the city.

Taking the Forestry Bureau dormitory as a reference, behind it is the most prosperous commercial street in the new city area.

Thinking of this, Yue Feng made a preliminary plan. He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly behind the old man who was still busy.

"Master, are you selling this house?"

Hearing the noise, the old man turned his head tremblingly and looked at Yue Feng.

“Yes young man, this house is for sale!

The son in the family is working in another place and has not come back. The old man is also old, so he sold the old house and went to live with his son!
Why, are you planning to buy a house?"

Yue Feng did not rush to state his request, but scanned the general contents on the red paper with a scrutinizing gaze, and said slowly: "Can you take me into the yard to have a look at our house?"

"Okay, I'll show you if you want to! Wait for me to apply the last bit of glue, it should be frozen solid later!"

Yue Feng waited patiently for the old man to finish pasting the red paper, and then followed the old man into the yard.

After entering the yard, Yue Feng took a quick look at the general structure. After seeing the house type and area, he was slightly surprised.

Originally, he thought that this yard only had six rooms along the street, and there might be an open space or a wall behind it. However, after entering and taking a look around, Yue Feng discovered that this yard actually had a lot of secrets.

This is a two-entry house. In addition to the houses along the street, there is an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard after entering the door.

Including the side rooms and the main house, there are nearly ten rooms in total.

The ground in the yard is paved with bluestone slabs. Judging from the materials, a huge amount of money was invested when this house was built. The amount of money spent on these building materials alone is not a small amount.

What surprised Yue Feng the most was the row of horse hitching posts next to the stable near the bottom of the east wall. He couldn't say if there were many, but it should be enough to tie up ten horses.

"Grandpa, did our ancestors run a business? The yard is quite big, but it's a bit dilapidated. The windows and doors, the wood is a bit rotten. If we want to live here, we'll have to put in a lot of effort to tidy it up."

Hearing Yue Feng's words, the old man, who had originally not taken it seriously, felt a slight stir in his heart.

As the old saying goes, praise and criticism are from buyers. It is useless to say good or good things. They will just turn around and leave and never come back.

On the contrary, if you start finding faults as soon as you open your mouth, you will have a greater chance of closing a deal.

Because the purpose of finding faults is to lower the price. If there is no intention to buy, there is no need to lower the price. The best solution is to say something auspicious so as not to offend anyone.

"You're right. My great-grandfather was indeed a businessman, and our family was once very prominent.

However, when the war broke out, all the men in the family joined the army to serve their country and became martyrs, leaving only one branch of the family as the sole heir, and the compound became dilapidated!
The windows and other things are indeed in disrepair due to years of disrepair, but the main beams have not been moved, and the bricks and stones are all of high-quality materials. If you take over and revamp the house a bit, you can move in!

If you buy a house, except for some valuables, all the furniture in the house will be left behind!
Now that the world is peaceful, if we take good care of this house, it will be fine for several generations to live in it!"

Hearing this, Yue Feng was actually a little moved.

Just to buy these blue bricks and blue stones would cost a huge fortune, not to mention the main beams and frames of the house which really only needed to be cleaned and painted.

But he still didn't express his opinion.

"Would you mind taking me inside?"

"That's not inconvenient. I'm the only one in the old house right now, so there's nothing to be shy about!"

Soon, the old man took Yue Feng on a tour of the rooms.

Most of the other side rooms were empty or filled with miscellaneous items, but when Yue Feng entered the main room in the north, he was struck by the set of antique old furniture as soon as he walked in.

Even a novice like Yue Feng can tell that this is the style of Qing Dynasty furniture.

Objects such as tables and chairs have become slightly patinated due to their long use, exuding a sense of heaviness that has been accumulated over a long period of time.

After a quick look, Yue Feng had an idea in his mind: "Uncle, how much do you plan to sell this house for? I'm really lucky. We are all open-minded people. Just give me a good price!"

"Buying a house is such a big thing, how can a young man like you make the decision?"

Yue Feng grinned a little maturely: "Hehe, you really can do it!
We don't need to test the waters, just give me a price, and if it's suitable, we'll study it together. If it's not suitable, I'll turn around and leave without wasting your time!"

"This house, including the land, the front and back yards, the furniture and all the big items, is priced at 1500 yuan!"

"A fixed price? Can we still negotiate?" "The price cannot be negotiated. If you're happy, I'll pay the deed tax for the transfer!"

Hearing this answer, Yue Feng was overjoyed.

Fifteen hundred yuan was indeed a lot of money at that time, but Yue Feng didn't think so.

He could buy such a big house with such little money. From his modern perspective, this was no different from picking it up for free. A piece of top-quality sable fur was worth three thousand!

Apart from anything else, the antique furniture in the main room alone is worth far more than this price.

But even so, Yue Feng didn't show it on his face.

He nodded: "Okay, this price is fair! I'll buy the house. When are we going to the street office to complete the formalities?"

"This...you're buying it now? Why don't you discuss it with your family? This is not a small amount of money!"

"It's fate that we met. I don't like to drag my feet when doing things!
Let's make an appointment, hand over the paperwork, and give you the money, that's all. As for other things, don't worry about them!"

"Okay, it may be too late today, so how about we meet at the door at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?

You are a good-looking man who speaks and acts prudently. This old house won't be left to waste if it falls into your hands!"

"Then it's settled. I'll come with the money at nine tomorrow morning!"

"it is good!"

……

After agreeing on the deal, Yue Feng still forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart even after leaving the hospital.

Even though Yue Feng has lived two lives as a human being, he still has great enthusiasm for buying houses.

If he were asked to go to the capital to use his reborn memories to buy real estate at a bargain price, Yue Feng might hesitate due to factors such as the long journey and the long time span, but he would not hesitate at all to buy a house in the main urban area near his home.

After leaving the yard, Yue Feng peeled off the red paper about selling the house that had just been pasted on the door but had not yet frozen hard, strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative, said hello to Li Li, rode his motorcycle out of the yard, and went home humming a little tune.

The next morning, Yue Feng took the prepared cash and arrived at the agreed door of the old house on time by bicycle instead of motorcycle.

The old man had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Yue Feng arrive on time, the wrinkles on his forehead slowly relaxed.

"Old man, you must be getting impatient!"

"No, I just got out too! I was just worried that you might change your mind after a good night's sleep! After all, it's such a big deal to buy a house! And you actually came as promised!"

"Hey, hey! Let's go! You sit in the back seat, I'll carry you!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

……

Most houses of this era are publicly owned, but there are also a small number of private properties, so there are relevant procedures on the street side.

It is very simple to say. The street office and the housing management office are on the same street. First go to the street office to verify the identity of the owner of the land deed and house deed. After confirmation, ask the relevant street leaders to sign.

Once the rights and responsibilities are verified, you can go to the housing management office to change the ownership and pay the stamp duty.

The old man was very happy and agreed to pay for the deed tax. Sure enough, when handling the business, he paid 6% of the deed tax.

Both parties filled out the contract and other formalities on the spot, and handed over the change of ownership. After the entire process was completed, it was less than eleven o'clock. Compared with the various trivial troubles in later generations, it is so convenient to go through the procedures to buy a house now.

After the house transaction was completed, Yue Feng took him back to his residence on his bicycle.

The old man took out two suitcases, one large and one small, from the house, and then handed the key to the house to Yue Feng.

"The formalities are all done, it's time for me to go! Take good care of this house, it's much better than the ones we've built now!"

"How about we invite you to the State-Owned Hotel for lunch? It's already lunchtime!"

"I won't eat anymore. See you later!"

Watching the old man walking away with his suitcase, Yue Feng felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Happy? But not completely happy.

You can buy such a big house with a yard for only 1,500 yuan, which is definitely a bargain.

It can be imagined that when this house was built in the early years, every brick and every bluestone required huge manpower and material resources to be transported here, and then it took a long time to build it.

The old man’s ancestors also experienced ups and downs.

Now, after some time has passed, it has flowed into Yue Feng's hands.

The houses along the street are used to open restaurants, the side rooms in the yard can be used as storage rooms and staff dormitories, and the main house in the backyard can also be lived in separately.

In the short term, this house is definitely enough to open a restaurant!
Now that all the keys are in his hands, Yue Feng can't wait to examine them carefully.

This is an old house of a wealthy family. If we find some treasure in the corners, we will make a fortune! (End of this chapter)
