Chapter 21 Buying a house depends on fate
Even though he was Lin Jie's relative, he ate for free. No one in the cafeteria had any objections. Someone tasted a piece of spicy cabbage and narrowed his eyes, "Little girl, how do you make spicy cabbage? Why is it so delicious?"
Lin Jing smiled slightly, "I have my own secret recipe, but I won't share it with you."
"If you all think it tastes good, you can place an order with me." After that, Lin Jing added, "Xiangmanlou's kimchi will also be supplied by my family in the future."
Xiangmanlou is still very famous in Qi City. Today, most people in the city have heard of the seventy-table banquet for a centenarian.
What they ate was actually Xiangmanlou’s kimchi? No wonder it tastes so good.
Eating dishes from a high-end restaurant for free, even kimchi, changes the mind of the chef.
At noon, everyone ate in the cafeteria. Zhao Youliang told Lin Jie about his niece's proposal to buy a house together.
"This matter must be done as soon as possible. Lao Hu and the others are in a hurry to go abroad. If they don't get it done in these two days, they may not have the chance in the future." Zhao Youliang added.
The couple had actually seen that house several times. It would be impossible to say that they were not moved by it, but they just couldn't make up their mind. The house at home was too small, and Lao Hu's house was too big.
Lin Jing's few words today made Zhao Youliang make up his mind. Although he is from his wife's natal family, the house he bought belongs to him. When the time comes, he will really have four or five rooms in his house, and his son's marriage will be settled easily.
In addition, Lin Jie had struggled to climb stairs since she broke her leg the year before last, so living in a bungalow was much more convenient.
After eating in the cafeteria, Zhao Youliang took Lin Jing and others to see the landlord. The family left for the Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow and had been living in the house for the past two days. It was very convenient to show the house.
The house is next to the staff dormitory, with buildings on the left and bungalows on the right. There is a road in the middle. The height difference between the two sides makes it look a bit old and run-down.
The Hu family is now focused on the joy of going abroad. A better life is beckoning. It is a pity that this house cannot be sold.
After looking at the houses for a while, Lin Jing was very satisfied with the two rows of houses with yards. They were not very old, but were only made older by the family buildings next to them.
Although there is no sewer connection and you can only go to the public toilet, there is running water, electricity is guaranteed, and the floor of the brick house is also paved with blue bricks, which makes daily living a lot more convenient.
The windows are all made of glass, and the inside and outside of the house are kept clean and not dirty because of departure. You can move when the time comes.
Although there is no central heating, it is not too difficult to live in the winter with the kang and coal burning. At least it is a hundred times more comfortable than the house back home.
The Lin brothers and sisters also think this house is nice, but money is a big problem.
Lin Yun is the only person in the family who knows that his sister has money. Inexplicably, the train ticket cost her five hundred, and it will cost seven or eight hundred more later. She has already bought a house, and now she is buying a house. She really has to pay for it. Are you willing to spend all the money in it?
Spend money? Lin Jing smiled, this was an investment for the big deal in the future.
Being able to go abroad with your family at this time is definitely a matter of honor. What the Hu family wants is to settle abroad and never come back. After all, air tickets are really expensive.
Now that the time is coming, but the house has not been disposed of, the Hu family is also anxious and very enthusiastic about Zhao Youliang. The meaning behind the words is very simple, that is, as long as you are willing to buy it, the price is easy to negotiate.
"Gong Zhao, just tell me, how much are you willing to pay?" Hu Quan asked urgently.
Zhao Youliang wanted to quote the price as Lin Jing said, but he felt that the price was too low and he couldn't say it. He felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, just tell me, I'm really in a hurry to leave, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sell such a good house." Hu Quan was also frustrated, why couldn't a good house be sold?
A few days ago, there were many people looking at the house, but no one could afford the price. Recently, it seems that the day of going abroad is coming, and there are no more people to look at the house.
"Uncle, can two thousand eighty dollars be okay?" Lin Jing saw that Zhao Youliang couldn't speak, so she helped him speak.
"How much?" Hu Quan was a little angry, "Little girl, I don't think you are joking too much at your age. If I hadn't left in a hurry, I would have sold such a big house for eight, nine, or even ten thousand yuan. You are not..."
He didn't finish what he said next. If it had been last month, he might have used a broom to chase people away, but time is more urgent than him. What if they are willing to increase the price? You can't really drive people away.
"Old Zhao, you still need to work harder." Hu Quan felt that the person who made the decision must be Zhao Youliang, so he could only work on him.
add a bit? A little more can still be added. Zhao Youliang asked tentatively: "How about three thousand?"
Hu Quan still felt that it was too low, and looked embarrassed, "Why don't you ask for five or four thousand... What you are offering is too low."
Lin Jing looked at Zhao Youliang who looked embarrassed, and said sincerely, "Uncle, don't worry, my uncle actually knew that the price was low, so he didn't feel embarrassed to say anything after he took a fancy to it, thinking that if someone offered a higher price, then Just pretend it’s not a chance, I saw you haven’t sold it yet so come here and give it a try.”
"To be honest, these 3,000 yuan were all bought by my uncle who brought us together. We all worked together in the same company. If you don't know how much you know about my uncle's and aunt's salaries, then you have almost an understanding. If you can Even if you can afford the price, you won’t have the courage to try it now. It’s not that you sincerely want to lower the price, but your ability is really limited.”
"If we are destined, we will settle the matter. If it doesn't work, my uncle will have to wait for the unit to allocate a room."
This is very straightforward. I am not pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. I only have so much money. If I want to sell it, I can sell it or not. If I don’t want to sell it, I will sell it. Although Zhao Youliang doesn’t have much money, taking a step back and having a unit to share a house may not necessarily mean buying it. .
Hu Quan, who has worked with the same unit, naturally knows this. If he buys a unit, he will not be divided into rooms. Everyone is willing to get free and cheap. Otherwise, he would not be able to pay more than the current price for this house. Not even three thousand.
Those who have money choose apartments, and those who have no money wait for apartment allocation. There are fewer people who originally want to buy and can afford so much money in one go. Some people know that their families are in a hurry to move, and the prices they offer are very low, which is shameless. There were people who paid seven or eight hundred yuan, and he was so angry that he was vomiting blood and couldn't tell outsiders.
At this moment, Zhao Youliang also felt that that was all. What was he struggling with before? If you offer a price, buy it if they are willing to sell it. If you don't want to, just wait for the unit to allocate a room.
"Lao Hu, you know that buying a house is a big deal. My brothers-in-law were convinced by me this time, so they decided to live with relatives and pay for it together. It really depends on fate. Do you think this is the case? What's going on?" Zhao Youliang felt that things would become much easier after he made up his mind.
