The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 135 Two requests! !

Looking at the extremely handsome, tall and mighty young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Mr. Niu expressed his confusion.

Why are you having a good meal and bringing him over to share a table and chat with me? ?

But after all, he was a person who had seen the world. Although he felt doubtful in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He just looked Zhang Chenfei up and down and asked:

"Master, do you have anything to do with me?"

Zhang Chenfei took a sip of noodles and couldn't hear clearly what he said if you didn't listen carefully:

"I just heard you talking to the noodle shop proprietress. Do you have a courtyard house for sale?"

Mr. Niu's eyes lit up and he immediately stared into Zhang Chenfei's eyes: "What do you say?? Listen to this, this young man, do you have a way???"

Zhang Chenfei smiled: "As long as the house is suitable, there are ways. However, you must first introduce the situation of the house to me."

He wanted to buy a house purely on a temporary basis.

During these days, he was doing business with Fatty and the others, plus the royalties, and what he had done with Night Wolf, he had also saved a lot of money.

In this era, buying and selling gold was not allowed on the surface, but privately he had no way to do it.

When antiques are not so popular, there is no point in putting money in your hands.

He thought that it would be better to just buy a house if he kept so much money, and he met Xu Huizhen, a good business owner.

Of course, the prerequisite for buying a house is that there should not be too many rooms, and it must not exceed fifteen.

Because by 1958, the country was trying to accommodate more and more people moving into the city.

It stipulates that regardless of whether the original owner agrees or not, as long as the house has more than fifteen rooms, it will be rented.

Economic renting actually means that the state collects private houses in the four or nine cities, and then rents the houses from them to workers and cadres.

Every month, about 2-3% of the rent is taken out as a subsidy to the original landlord.

It is said to be a subsidy, but because the rent is already very low, most of the time the rent for a room is only two yuan, so the money that goes to the original landlord is even less.

Also because of this,

Many homeowners will renovate their houses or even demolish some rooms in order to avoid being rented out.

In order to cut off this phenomenon, the country has also introduced many policies.

Of course, this is something.

Master Niu heard that Zhang Chenfei was interested in the house and quickly told him the basic situation of the house.

His house is the most basic one, that is, a single-entry courtyard.

There were originally four rooms in the back room, but they were opened into one room in order to rent it out to merchants.

The main house generally has three main rooms and two wings, that is, the main house has three rooms, and the two side rooms each have one room, totaling five rooms.

The east and west wings are also the same size, with three rooms each. There are also three back rooms.

"Why are there only three back rooms?" Zhang Chenfei felt very strange.

Generally speaking, the number of rooms in the reverse room and the rear room should be the same.

Mr. Niu shook his head: "I don't know, this house has been like this since I took it over from my father.

There is a shed next to the back room, and under the shed is a cellar. It may be because of this that one less room was built. "

Of course it was against the rules to build a house like this. He also asked his father why, but his father couldn't explain why he was ugly.

Zhang Chenfei calculated that the house would have exactly fifteen rooms after such renovation.

I no longer dwelled on inconsistencies, and just said I wanted to see the house for a while.

Of course Mr. Niu wanted this, so he immediately put down the bowl and took him to see the house.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after we eat." Zhang Chenfei held him down. Neither of them had finished eating the noodles. "You can't waste food by wasting anything. Let's eat before we leave."

After saying that, he started to eat.

Mr. Niu waved to the proprietress: "Cut a plate of pig skin jelly and a plate of braised beef."

It's too late to stir-fry, so I can only add two cold dishes. This young man is the only person he has seen who is interested in buying a house since he started selling houses. Why don't you just flatter him? ?

"Xu Huizhen, please bring the dishes on the table over. Let's share the table with Mr. Niu." Zhang Chenfei was very good at following the rules.

Swap two vegetarian dishes for two meat dishes, hey, you’ve made another profit! ! !

Xu Huizhen was suddenly greeted and looked confused.

She listened to Zhang Chenfei talking to Mr. Niu for a long time. The more she listened, the more confused she became. She didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

But she was full of admiration for her brother Zhang, and felt that as long as he did this, he must have his own reasons, so she hurriedly put the plate on Mr. Niu's table.

Soon, four dishes were placed on the table. After Zhang Chenfei and the three had eaten and drank enough, they walked out of the noodle shop together.

Seeing Mr. Niu's obedient little thrush, Zhang Chenfei asked him what to do if his mouth was dirty.

"Very dirty??" Mr. Niu raised his eyebrows.

"It's pretty awesome. I saw Tian'er scolding him in the street." Zhang Chenfei sighed.

Mr. Niu clicked his tongue: "That's troublesome. If Birdzi gets his mouth dirty, he will most likely be dead.

For the remaining 10%, one can only use ruthless measures to cut off the source of the dirty mouth, and then break it off like an eagle, but this is too difficult. "

When he was twelve years old, he started to follow his grandfather to carry birds in cages and travel around the four-nine cities.

Until now, I have never seen a myna that can be brought back after being dirty! ! !

Zhang Chenfei thought for a moment and felt that the root of Fatty's nonsense was that there was no way he could break up with him, so he stopped worrying about it.

He and Mr. Niu started chatting some more. After the two of them got acquainted with each other, Mr. Niu tentatively asked:

"Man, is it a relative of yours who wants to buy a house or a friend?"

Zhang Chenfei knew that Mr. Niu didn't look down on him, he just felt that he was too young and didn't look like he could buy a house or land.

So he added a personal touch to himself: "Master Niu, to be honest, I bought it myself. When my parents passed away last year, they left me some money.

When I thought about it, I didn't know how to do business or make other investments, so I decided to buy a house. In this way, it can be regarded as leaving something to future generations, right? ? "

When Mr. Niu heard this, his eyes immediately became very complicated.

Zhang Chenfei felt that if he were asked to describe the look in Niu Ye's eyes at this moment, it should be three parts envy, three parts admiration, and four parts jealousy.

Mr. Niu gave a thumbs up and nodded at Zhang Chenfei:

“Young man, you can be rich at a young age without being corrupted, and you also know how to think about future generations.

How lucky your parents are to have a child like you! ! ! "

Look at this young man, and then think about his only son who forced his parents to sell their house and land to wipe their ass, Mr. Niu feels miserable! ! !

At this point, Zhang Chenfei had already analyzed Mr. Niu's reason for selling the house from his demeanor and words.

But the other party didn't take the initiative to ask, and he didn't say anything.

You can't stab someone in the heart, right?

Zhang Chenfei followed Mr. Niu into the alley and was surprised to find that this house was very close to the painter's house before.

The two houses are right next to each other, each belonging to two alleys. They look far away, but in fact they are only separated by a wall.

Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it? ? Zhang Chenfei muttered in his heart.

Chen Xueru was thinking about buying the yard after the "Red Plum" case was completely solved, but she didn't expect that she actually bought this trick on her butt in advance.

After Master Niu opened the big lock on Manzi's door, he led Zhang Chenfei and the others in.

After Zhang Chenfei entered the house, he was surprised to find that the layout of the courtyard was the same as that of Lao Hetou's house in "X Women under the Zhengyang Gate".

However, it is obvious that Mr. Niu’s ancestors were elegant people. There was no sculpture of the Five Poisons on the entrance screen wall of his courtyard.

There are no carvings of "abundance every year" or "Fu" characters on the walls. Instead, bamboos and lotus flowers are carved.

Turn around the screen wall and walk in through the hanging flower door. There are pavilions, flower beds, and even a few large vats with withered lotus leaves in the yard.

Under the guidance of Mr. Niu, Zhang Chenfei and Xu Huizhen looked around the house, and the more they looked at it, the more satisfied they became.

Master Niu told them,

The specifications of the courtyard house are very particular. What kind of house should be built according to the status?

What specifications of materials are used, as well as the little beasts on the roof ridges, and the types of carvings on the wooden windows are all particular. If you get the specifications wrong, you will be punished in the lightest way, and in the worst case, you will be jailed.

Their ancestors were ordinary merchants, so according to the rules, they could only be the Manzimen, and the yard couldn't be too big.

Even so, his ancestors who were merchants still took great pains to make the houses of not high standard to the extreme.

"The bricks are ground to seams, with yellow pine wooden frames, and double eaves. The floor of the house is made of blue square bricks, and the roof is a framed paper ceiling.

Although the appearance of the place seen by outsiders is average. But the places you can’t see in the house are all super-standard. "

Niu Ye explained.

In fact, after the Republic of China, those stinky details have disappeared. If you have money, you can build whatever you want and decorate it however you want.

He just doesn't have money. If he had money, he would just replace the floor with gold bricks and clean it up.

Of course, now that the house is about to be sold and he has moved out, it is too late to say anything. Thinking of this, Mr. Niu sighed again.

After Zhang Chenfei walked around the house several times, he found that it really suited his liking.

It can be seen that Mr. Niu and his ancestors live here with great care. Although the house is old, it is well maintained.

Moreover, the inverted house has been renovated, so if you are doing business, you don’t need to renovate it.

In addition, it is opposite the painter's house, which makes it easier for me to run around the two yards at night.

wrong

If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you messing around in the two yards? ?

Zhang Chenfei shook his head and told himself not to care about this detail yet.

Then he asked Mr. Niu what price he wanted to sell the house for.

Mr. Niu groaned for a while: "If you really want the house, together with the old furniture in the house that is difficult to move, man, the price is three thousand and five thousand."

Zhang Chenfei shook his head: "It's expensive, I can give you two thousand and five thousand at most."

The two houses he bought in the courtyard cost only three hundred, so he paid two thousand and five for the sake of the furniture.

He just took a look and found that many of the old furniture here are made of mahogany.

"Two thousand and five thousand is a bit low, man, please add more." Mr. Niu's eyes were full of struggle.

Zhang Chenfei was very tough: "Master Niu, it's not that I don't want to give more, but I only have two thousand two thousand in hand."

The implication is that if I give you two thousand five hundred, I still have to go out and borrow another three hundred.

Seeing that Mr. Niu remained silent, Zhang Chenfei continued: "To tell you the truth, I can buy this house or not, but I happened to fall in love with it today.

If you think my offer is too little, we won’t force you. "

When Master Niu heard this, his figure suddenly swayed.

The three thousand he asked for was actually not too high, and it was just enough to cover his son's debts outside.

I thought this young man was young and easy to talk to, but who would have thought of bargaining so hard. A mouthful costs five hundred yuan.

Without these five hundred, he would have to go out to borrow money with this old face. But don’t sell the house to Zhang Chenfei? ?

My son is in the hands of those people! ! ! The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Two thousand and five is just two thousand and five, but I have two requests."
