Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 812. Shelter (812)

If you go from the city center, the third house is only 10 minutes away from Porta Nigra.

The weather was just right, Dong Qiangqiang had just bought a bicycle, and was in high spirits, so he simply rode his bicycle directly from the second house.

As soon as he rode to the outer edge of the city center, he was stopped by the police.However, the police were polite and told him that the city center belongs to the cultural protection zone of the old city, with many cultural relics and ancient buildings, and there are pedestrian streets, so driving and cycling are strictly prohibited, but he can push a cart across.

It was still early, and although the cart was slow, it was just a chance to take a look at the scenery of the old city and familiar shops. In case you want to take a group shopping in the future, it will be considered as doing your homework again.

He walked along the rounded and polished cobblestones towards the Black Gate, observing the streets and lanes with curious eyes.

As the oldest city in Germany, there are row upon row of quaint buildings in the center of the city, and the heights and heights are patchwork, mostly residential buildings.Most of these buildings are half-wood and half-stone structures, and it can be seen that they have all been renovated to varying degrees.The wooden structure still retains the dark red aesthetic of the Trier region since Roman times, but the colors of the exterior walls and roofs have become richer.

Among the colorful and colorful buildings, Dong Qiangqiang can only recognize a few Baroque, Gothic and Roman buildings. For more buildings, he can't explain why at all. He can only appreciate the different architectural styles and architectural diversity. Come to the mix and match fun, while feeling the shuttle in it is like traveling to another (or several) eras.

As Trier's most domineering landmark and one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Black Gate has stood for more than 1800 years.It was one of the four city gates of Trier in the Roman era (somewhat similar to the nine gates of the old BJ).At that time, the roughly rectangular walled city had East Gates (Porta Alba), South Gates (Portia Media), West Gates (Porta Inclyta) and Black Gates (Porta Nigra).

Everyone who sees and climbs the Stone Tower of the Black Gate will be shocked by its size, history of construction and how long it has survived, and also marvel at what the Romans have achieved in their great historical period, the darkness in the floors And the eerie feeling is particularly impressive, not losing the Colosseum in Rome (but without the rich bloody smell of the latter).

As time goes by, only the Black Gate still stands in Trier today, and the other three city gates have long since disappeared without a trace.

Headed by the Black Gate, Trier's Roman monuments also include the amphitheater, Constantine Cathedral, Iglesia Column, Caesar Baths ruins, Barbara Baths ruins, Roman Bridge and the Church of Our Lady at the city gate.Except for all the churches, only ruins remain of the major sites.Walking in it, Dong Qiangqiang can't help but think: If the walls could talk, he might also sigh, no matter how historic the buildings are, they are just dust in front of time.

Although it is almost late autumn, the square is still full of large parasols, under which there are groups of lazy locals and tourists sitting around.Naughty children are chasing pigeons stealing food by the umbrella, or playing in the fountain in the middle of the square.Dong Qiangqiang even saw a group of domestic tourist groups holding colorful flags passing by outside the cathedral. The once famous historical city has become a famous tourist city after years of baptism.

At 15:55, Dong Qiangqiang stood downstairs in the third house and rang the doorbell twice.

This is a townhouse with a very new exterior color, which stands out among the old buildings. It should be a new house that has not been built for a few years.

There was no answer on the door intercom.

He was about to call the landlord when the door swung open from the inside.

A well-mannered middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit and vest came out of the door.

Judging from his face and light brown hair, Dong Qiangqiang should also be a German.

The middle-aged man took the initiative to ask: "Hello. Was it you who rang the doorbell?"

"Yes, I made an appointment with you to see the house at noon." The other party was neatly dressed and spoke normally, giving Dong Qiangqiang a good first impression, "My surname is Dong."

"Oh, please come with me." The middle-aged man waved his hand politely towards the door, "The room you want to see is on the third floor. I will take you there. I hope you don't mind that there is no elevator."

"Oh, it's okay, just to exercise." Dong Qiangqiang is generally very polite to polite people.

The corridors and stairs were clean and tidy. The middle-aged man turned his head while walking and asked, "Are you a student?"

"Yes, University of Trier. Do you need to see my student ID card?" Dong Qiangqiang asked back.

"Oh, don't worry." The middle-aged man smiled, showing two rows of neat teeth, and praised, "Your German is very standard."

His smile made Dong Qiangqiang feel warm. Compared with the German old man in the second house, it was a strange thing.

"I studied language in Hannover preparatory school for one year." Dong Qiangqiang said modestly, "Maybe I still have an accent occasionally."

"Your accent is completely inaudible." The middle-aged man changed the subject after boasting, "This townhouse has 3 floors. It was built in 1998 and maintained every year. It was just repainted in April this year. By the way, here is the Gas heating system, it will not be cold in winter.”

"That's really good." Dong Qiangqiang praised in his mouth, but thought to himself: How expensive is this heating gas? The Germans don't have to burn gas with cheap plumbing. They are really rich and dead-headed.Then I thought again: Plumbing is mostly used for large-scale central heating, which means that a large amount of coal is burned, which is definitely not in line with the German concept of environmental protection.Furthermore, there are only 3 floors in this building, and there is no central heating.

The middle-aged man seemed to have heard Dong Qiangqiang's worry, and explained: "But you don't have to worry, the room you want to rent is warm rent."

While talking, the two reached the third floor.

"The kitchen and bathroom are public, you can take a look first." The middle-aged man stood in the middle of the corridor and waved his hands left and right.

Dong Qiangqiang is no stranger to public kitchen and public health, as he was in Hannover.But what surprised him was that, not to mention the large area of ​​the public kitchen and public bathroom, there are all the tools in it, and there are even two washing machines.The middle-aged man showed off: one is dedicated to washing underwear, and the other is dedicated to washing outerwear.

Good guy, there is money indeed.Dong Qiangqiang secretly smacked his tongue: He is really a fastidious person.

After looking at the public area, the middle-aged man led Dong Qiangqiang to the room for rent.As soon as he entered the door, Dong Qiangqiang was stunned. The room was very small, estimated to be 10 square meters at most, and this was the figure after adding the ultra-small balcony facing the street.

Why not make the room bigger and the kitchen and bathroom smaller?Dong Qiangqiang was puzzled.But this kind of question is destined to be asked in vain, and can only be buried in my heart.

"Although this house is small, it is exquisite and the layout is very compact. It has a good view, because it has an independent terrace, and the scenery is very beautiful every morning and evening." The middle-aged man said "please." With a hand gesture, he signaled Dong Qiangqiang to stand on the balcony and experience what he said was true, "No matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, you can fully feel nature and enjoy life."

Dong Qiangqiang set up a pergola and overlooked the direction of the city center. In the last week of September, Germany was still in daylight saving time. The sun at four o'clock in the evening looked the same as the sun at two o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was dazzling, and he could only see black The door was shrouded in a halo.The white clouds above his head seemed to be within reach, and pigeons fluttered past his feet from time to time, but when he looked down, he saw the bustling downtown streets.

At that moment, Dong Qiangqiang felt that he had returned to BJ's home.

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang bowed his head and said nothing, the middle-aged man said again: "As I said just now, this room is for warm rent, including water and electricity is 280 euros per month. In addition, if you want to surf the Internet, you can choose the Wifi in the building, but every month You need to pay an extra 5 euros. There are other tenants on this floor, who are also college students, which means you can meet new friends. There is an Aldi supermarket and a Penny supermarket downstairs, and shopping is very convenient. In addition, if you It takes only 15 minutes to walk to the train station from here.”

"Oh, I have another question, do you allow tenants to keep pets?" Dong Qiangqiang remembered that he still had a parrot.

"As long as you can maintain the public environment and the hygiene in your room, it's fine."

"Do you provide a parking space downstairs?" Dong Qiangqiang asked again.

"The paid parking space is at the back of the building, but it's very tight. If you don't mind walking a few more steps, there is a public parking lot 150 meters west. The management and fees are not bad. Other tenants' cars will park there occasionally. Oh, By the way, go out and go east along the road 1 km to the gas station."

"Well, if I rent it, how long can I rent it?"

"I hope to find a long-term renter, because I'm very busy and don't have time to spend too much time on this." The middle-aged man said very honestly, "If you have the opportunity, how long can you rent?"

"I'm just a freshman. If it goes well, it will take three or four years (to graduate). If it doesn't go well, it may take longer..." Dong Qiangqiang spread his hands in a helpless gesture.

"The German exam is really not easy." The middle-aged man felt the same way.

Dong Qiangqiang could see that what he said really moved him.

"What about the deposit? If I want to check out, at least how long in advance should I notify you?"

Generally speaking, it means that the asking party is very satisfied, which is also the case.Although the room is small and the price is not cheap, the basic conditions of the room are ideal and the location is convenient. It is close to the city center and the train station, and not far from the university.The most important thing is that this landlord seems to be a high-spirited person. If we deal with each other in the future, it is necessary to find someone who is educated and less troublesome, or less educated but less troublesome, such as the landlady in Hannover.What I am most afraid of is the German landlord of the second house. If I really live in it, I can’t see it when I look up. God knows how many conflicts there will be.

"The deposit needs to be three months, and you have to check out at least three months in advance." The middle-aged man replied.

Although the deposit is high, it is still within the acceptable range of Dong Qiangqiang.

Both parties seemed to be very satisfied with each other. Just when Dong Qiangqiang decided to directly express his willingness to rent a house with the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man suddenly grabbed a piece of paper from nowhere and handed it to Dong Qiangqiang.

"Please fill out this form, and I will notify you of the result at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Dong Qiangqiang was taken aback by what he said, and he still needs to fill in the form?After making sure he heard it right, he could only take the paper resentfully, quickly glanced at the contents of the form, and started to fill it out.

Just when he finished writing his nationality and was about to continue writing, a pair of big hands suddenly pressed on his hands, and then he heard the voice of a middle-aged man ringing in his ears.

"You are chinese?"

Dong Qiangqiang raised his head in doubt, the smile on the middle-aged man's face had disappeared along with the honorifics in his mouth, leaving only a cold face.

What's the situation?
