Chapter 17 Renting a House (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Behind this farmyard is a dense bamboo forest, which surrounds most of the yard. The gate of the yard is on the right, and there is an open space next to it that can park four or five cars. Half of the yard is an earthen wall, and the other half is an enclosed space surrounded by iron sheets and covered with colored steel tiles. The entire yard covers an area of ​​at least five to six hundred square meters.

If we want to turn this place into an elegant place for brewing tea around the fire, the cost of the renovation may be very considerable. Just removing these iron sheets and colored steel tiles will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

But for Ren Zhong, he just wanted to set up a simple experiment and a warehouse, and now he is basically satisfied with what he has.

The place is big enough and far enough away from other neighbors. The nearest house is at least four or five hundred meters away, so even if there is any noise, most people will not notice it.

Ren Zhong looked around. About three hundred or four hundred meters in front of the courtyard, there was a pond of two or three acres in size. However, the water in it was not clear. He didn't know if there were ducks playing in it or for other reasons. There were vegetable fields on both sides of the pond. I don't know whose cabbage and celery were still half harvested. In front of the pond was a forest, and then a path covered with fallen leaves led to somewhere at the foot of the mountain.

Ren nodded and said, if the price is not too expensive, this is it!

He knocked on the door and waited for a long time, but no one came out, so he took out his phone and called the owner.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li? My name is Ren Zhong. I heard that you want to rent out your courtyard in Zhulin Village. Is it convenient for us to talk about it now? If it's suitable, I will rent it." Ren Zhong dialed the phone and stated his purpose directly.

"Hello, Mr. Ren. Yes, yes, yes. I want to rent out the house in Zhulin Village. May I ask what you will use it for? We can open farmhouses and tea gardens here, but we can't open factories, no matter what kind of factories." The other party was a young woman's voice. But she was very careful about Ren Zhong's livelihood.

"Boss Li, I won't use it to open a factory, nor will I run a farm stay or a tea garden. I'll just do some small business. I have some daily necessities and I want to find a place to store them. I also stay here for a night occasionally. There aren't many things, and they're not big items." Ren Zhong replied.

"Okay, Mr. Ren, the annual rent for our courtyard is 2 yuan. Do you think it's a problem? If not, let's find a place to meet and discuss, and then finalize it by signing the contract." The man on the other side seemed to be a straightforward person and gave an offer directly.

"Boss Li, I'm sincere in renting it. Can you see if the price can be lower? I heard that Lao Liu's rented it for only 2. Can you lower the price a little? I'll rent it for 5." Ren Zhong bargained. 2 would be a little over a month. The tea garden over there by Lao Liu was of similar size to this one, and it was indeed rented for . Ren Zhong had specifically inquired about it.

After all, this place is a bit far from the city, and the environmental conditions are no longer suitable for living. If it is a simple warehouse, it is not as convenient as a factory warehouse in the suburbs.

"Boss Ren, since you know the market conditions, I won't charge you much. The pond in front of our yard and the two vegetable plots next to the pond are also ours. Together, I'll charge you 20,000 yuan a year. Is that okay?" The other party bargained directly without waiting for long.

Ren Zhong was able to bargain the price down to 5,000 yuan in one go, which he felt was about right. The more than 2,000 yuan that was spent on the pond and the vegetable garden. Although he didn't know what they were used for now, having such a big pond, it would be a good pastime to put some fish in it and go fishing for fun. It would also be an extra entertainment for him.

"Okay, let's agree on the price. Boss Li, please decide when it's convenient for us to meet and sign the contract." Ren Zhong made the decision decisively.

"Let's meet at Sifang Tea Garden in Huangshui Town after 12 noon. When you get to Huangshui, just ask any local and they will know how to get there." said the other party.

It's good to have money in hand, everything goes smoothly. Ren Zhong walked around the courtyard, confirmed that there was no problem, got back to his Wuling car and navigated to Huangshui Sifang Tea Garden.

Huangshui is a town, but because there is a university, it is larger and more prosperous than Ren Zhong's hometown. Ren Zhong walked and stopped along the way and saw that there were shops selling building materials everywhere outside the town, and they were relatively large quantities of steel bars, water pipes, and cement.
It seems that this place has already developed a climate and is considered a building materials distribution center in the southwest of Jincheng.

However, Ren Zhong did not plan to renovate the courtyard that he was about to get, and these things would not be used for the time being. When he arrived at Sifang Tea Garden, he saw that it was not yet 12 o'clock, so Ren Zhong simply ordered a simple meal and ate while waiting.

Perhaps because it was Tuesday, there were not many people in the tea garden. Apart from Ren Zhong, the only person left was the waiter.

Ren Zhong was not in a hurry after finishing his meal. He ordered a cup of tea and sat there while looking at his phone to search for some information during the Anti-Japanese War. His focus was on some information about the Japanese raids in Shanxi and Suiyuan. Now that he had traveled to the world of Bright Sword, he found that there were some discrepancies between that world and some important events in history.

Although I don’t know if it’s because of the changes in time and space, or because the things I see now are inherently incomplete, which leads to inconsistency in my cognition.

Therefore, Ren Zhong should read more information on this subject when he has time, whether it is official history or unofficial history, as it will not hurt to know more information.

He was watching intently when the phone suddenly rang. Ren Zhong looked up and saw a woman in her thirties standing at the entrance of the tea garden and making a phone call. Ren Zhong took a look and it was indeed Boss Li who had made an appointment with him before. He stood up and answered the phone, "Hello, Boss Li? I'm in the tea garden. Look to the left." Ren Zhong waved his hand, and sure enough, the woman was the Boss Li who was looking for him.

"Hello, Mr. Ren. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Mr. Li was wearing a beige wool coat, carrying a large shoulder bag, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His face, with a little light makeup on, looked very delicate, giving Ren Zhong a sense of intellectual beauty.

"It's okay, it's okay. Boss Li, you're too polite. I just arrived not long ago. Please take a seat. Boss Li, would you like something to drink? I'll order one for you." Ren Zhong smiled and invited Boss Li to sit opposite him.

"Give me a cup of chrysanthemum tea, no sugar." Boss Li said to the waiter who followed him.

"Okay, a cup of chrysanthemum without sugar." The waiter turned and left.

"Boss Ren, since we have no disagreement on the price, the main thing is to sign the contract. Then I'll give you the keys and we'll be done. I have just printed out the contract, please take a look, Boss Ren. If there is no problem, we'll sign the contract." Boss Li seemed to be a decisive person. After sitting down, he took out two contract documents from his bag.

Ren Zhong took it and read it quickly. This contract was obviously a downloaded standard contract, with only the address and contract price modified. It was basically no different from the rental contract Ren Zhong had signed before, with one month's deposit, and the option to pay in one lump sum for half a year or a year.

"I don't think there's any problem. I'll pay you the rent on an annual basis. I see you don't have any furniture list, so there's no need for a deposit." Ren Zhong said.

"Okay, the deposit will be cancelled. The courtyard now has running water and electricity, and the telecommunications broadband line is there, but because we moved out a long time ago, it has been cancelled. If Boss Ren wants to use it, he will have to go to the telecommunications company to activate it himself." Boss Li spoke quickly and did not make too many fuss.

"Boss Li, if it's convenient, let's add each other on WeChat so that I can transfer the money to you. It would be troublesome to use cash." Ren Zhong quickly signed his ID card and name, then said to Boss Li.

"No problem, just scan me." Boss Li took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat QR code, and the two quickly became friends.

Ren Zhong saw that the name on WeChat was Li Junmei from XX School, and guessed that this was her real name, so he asked, "Boss Li, what do you do? I see that your information also has a school name, are you a teacher?"

"Yes, I teach mechanical drawing at the Mechanical College in town. This WeChat account is my work ID and it usually doesn't change." Boss Li had no intention of hiding anything.

No wonder Ren Zhong felt a sense of respect when he heard that the person was a university teacher.

"So it's Teacher Li. My apologies. I'll just call you Teacher Li from now on," Ren Zhong said.

"It doesn't matter. I don't know what kind of business Mr. Ren is in. Would you mind telling me?" Teacher Li said with a smile.

"It's like this, I just quit my job and am planning to do live streaming to sell goods. I haven't decided yet which one I'm going to focus on, so I'll just do it first and see how it goes." Ren Zhong really hadn't figured out what kind of business he would do in real life to cover up his actions.

Anyway, live streaming is popular for selling goods now, so I just made one up.

"Livestreaming sales are in vogue now. I think Mr. Ren is quite young, only 25 years old. It would be a good idea for him to give it a try." Teacher Li said with a smile, "Then I will serve tea instead of wine. I wish Mr. Ren success in his business!"

"Thank you!" Ren Zhong raised his tea to express his gratitude.

Neither of them expected that they would meet again soon after they met by chance.
