The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

Let's discuss with the uncles and build a three-meter wall around this piece of land, using adobe and broken bricks from the ruins.

The adobe wall can be built quickly, and it is mainly used to separate other lands. It seems that the house on this land was built by her friends who got together to live in peace.

The main job of the uncles is to clear the ruins and build walls. It seems that the house building task has been contracted to a team that specializes in house construction.

The leading uncle estimated that the cleaning would be completed in another half a month. After all, the original houses had basically collapsed and only broken bricks and tiles were left. It was just a job of removal. The adobe bricks could be made by themselves using molds. Although he didn't know why it had to be built so high, it could be completed quickly.

After more than half a month, the wall was built and the northwest corner was separated by the wall.

During this period, Lai Dian prepared mixed flour steamed buns, wowotou, and pickles for the old men to eat. After the old men finished their work, Lai Dian gave each of them some refined rice and flour and paid the balance.

The old men have basically replaced refined rice and flour with coarse grains, which can exchange for twice as much food.

The two storage wooden houses where the old men lived were sold for more than 300 yuan. After using my sister's money, I had more than yuan left. In addition, I still had some brown sugar, rock sugar, soap, a dozen bags of grain, a few cans of milk powder and a few cans of coffee. It seems that I still have a lot of things.

The weather is getting cold, and I saw a lot of haystacks piled up inside the wall. The haystacks are very high, even higher than the wall.

I had planned to come and see it a long time ago, just waiting for a snowy day.

After waiting for more than a month, it finally started snowing heavily. By midnight, the snow was almost above my feet.

Lai Di quietly got up from beside the sleeping children, put on thick clothes and went to the eastern homestead.

She had already taken pictures of the yard that Tutu had chosen for her. The first-floor yard was built in the brick and tile style of the 1980s, and the area of ​​the entire yard was about 200 square meters. Because Tutu had chosen a group of connected houses from a small town, the sewer system was complete, and a narrow concrete road was also provided.

Tutu originally asked her to choose the one she wanted from these seven courtyards, so they were cleared out together. As a result, the changes were too fast, and Lai Dian had more and more residential land, so he bought them all. It cost Lai Dian a total of 190 points, because two of the houses had food that Tutu had stuffed in advance, in order to save Lai Dian the cost of using a storage cabin.

Let's take a look at the red brick and red tile house. The windows are wooden frame glass windows that Tutu specially selected in the system, and they are also painted in the same color as the door.

The large stove in the kitchen can directly heat the kangs in the two side rooms of the main hall. There are two rooms without kangs and a storage room in the yard. Diagonally opposite is a northern dry toilet.

The room was equipped with electrical wires and incandescent lamps, but the entire eastern ruins had no electricity, so they couldn't use them for the time being.

This piece of land is already the northwestern corner of the ruins, far away from the main road, with such difficult-to-walk ruins in the middle. This road is not often used, and with the heavy snow, it is even more difficult to walk on because of the collapsed buildings everywhere, which basically prevents others from investigating. However, you still need to be safe if you come to take a look.

She tied the accumulated hay into bundles and placed them on the roof to cover the bricks and tiles. Although she used a system to place the bundles of hay, she was still sweating when she finished placing all seven roofs.

She stayed in the house all night, and when it was bright, she walked back and forth on the east road. From all angles, the grass was thick, the snow was thick, and the wall was high. She couldn't tell whether the top of the wall was a haystack or a house. She went back with peace of mind.

Before reporting to the factory, I have to go back to the village to ask the hunter's wife about the news of mountain products.

The hunter's wife was overjoyed to see her coming. "You are here. I have already contacted everyone for you. If you don't come, I will have to go to the city to find you."

"There's one that's more than ten years old, it belonged to my eldest brother, and he just kept it with me. There are also ones that are older, more than fifty years old, and another one that I have to see in person but I won't tell you the specific year."

The hunter's wife suggested that she should not go into the mountains to negotiate, but it would be better to come and see if she could give them something so that they would be willing to come out of the mountains to negotiate.

After all, the deep mountains at this time are not suitable for watching an unfamiliar stranger go in.

Enthusiasm and simplicity are conditional. Single women and those who have left their families without children are not included in the conditions.

Even if the hunter's wife was married from there, she could not guarantee that those mountain people would be friendly to outsiders.

Lai Kan thanks the hunter’s wife for the reminder and agrees to use two bars of soap and invite the two families to come to his village to see the goods.

The price of more than ten-year-old wild ginseng is not expensive. Two bags of rock sugar, two bags of brown sugar, and 8 bags of rice. I brought some sugar with me, and the remaining food will be delivered the day after tomorrow.

When the hunter's wife's husband came back from outside, she urged him to go to her parents' home to deliver a letter, and Lai Kan added, "Some herbs and mountain products from the family can also be sent together."

When we rented a bullock cart and pulled dozens of bags of grain back to the village, we found that there were quite a lot of people crowded in the yard of the hunter's wife, and everyone was carrying a large bag.

Come to see the shock "Big sister, why are there so many people?"

The hunter's wife was somewhat helpless. "It was my husband who shouted in my mother's yard that someone was buying herbs and mountain products from me. As a result, half of the village came."

When the people in the yard saw Lai Dian carrying a cart of grain, they knew that she was collecting mountain products and they all rushed towards her.

Some people peeked into the bags of grain and whispered, "It's really refined rice," "And refined flour," "There are dozens of bags."

They all excitedly surrounded Lai Dian who was sitting on the ox cart, and all wanted Lai Dian to buy their mountain products first.

After all, he came here wearing patched clothes, and looked like an errand boy. If he was slow to change the rice and flour, all the refined rice and flour would have been taken away by others.

The hunter’s wife came out and said, “Everyone line up. Those who don’t line up will not be accepted.” She was strong and had a loud voice, and she stood in front of the people who came to watch.

These were all people from her mother's village. Her three nephews also came and stood next to her, shouting that no one was allowed to squeeze in. In addition, so many people came because her old man had a loud voice, so she had to keep the scene for the people who came to watch.

You can only stand on the oxcart to see it. "As long as the mountain products are of good quality, you can exchange them for money, food or other things. There are enough things, don't squeeze, and you won't be able to exchange them if you don't queue up."

Lai Kan took out the soap, candles, salt, brown sugar, and rock sugar from the boxes, opened the grain bags, borrowed a scale from the hunter's wife, and started to harvest mountain products.

Few people in the mountains chose money, most of them chose barter.

There were still half of the people in the queue, and the food was almost gone. Lai Di pulled the hunter's wife aside and discussed borrowing dozens of bags of food from her family. Later, Lai Di gave her a pair of purple pillowcases. The pillowcases were sandwiched in the quilt when Tutu delivered the quilt last time. They looked very beautiful. This was also a reward for thanking the hunter's wife for helping her weigh the food and check the mountain products.

The hunter's wife helped to maintain order in Laikan, not for any reward, but since there was an unexpected surprise, she was still very happy. The purple pillowcase is not cheap.

The hunter's wife came out and said, "Don't worry, I have stored a lot of food in my house in advance, which is enough for the exchange."

He ordered his eldest daughter and the old man to bring some food together, and now it was almost enough to exchange, and in the end only some brown sugar and rock sugar were left.

They were very tired, not because of moving things, but because of their voices.

The people selling mountain products are all from the same village. You might have to call one of them "Grandpa" and you can't be rude. You have to persuade him repeatedly until your throat is tired.

Lai Dan took out a bag of brown sugar and made sugar water for everyone to drink. As they were drinking, the people they had made an appointment with arrived.
