Chapter 19: Finding Fault with Old Lady
After walking out of the villa, Huo Sining planned to find an intermediary company nearby to ask about the situation, but he didn't expect to pass by a fresh market halfway. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Her mind moved, and she turned in with a pause.
Each regional vegetable market has its own characteristics, since you want to make money in the aquatic industry, you must know what kind of seafood people in this place love to eat, know yourself and know the other in order to hit the target.
Huo Sining got out of the car and walked into the market, and the sound of hawkers was everywhere.
The smell of fresh food did not make Huo Sining flinch, she looked at the stalls one by one, and when she encountered high-priced wild fish species and live fish, she would ask the stall owner whether the source of goods was imported from other places or local products, and only left after receiving a satisfactory answer.
People in S City love to eat seafood, but in fact, there are very few local seafood in the seafood supply market in S City.
In fact, Shanghai's local aquatic resources are not abundant, and the aquatic products caught in the Yellow River Estuary every year are less than one-third of the annual consumption of the people of S City.
As a result, a large number of foreign aquatic products came across the ocean.
Huo Si would rather not be able to catch foreign aquatic products, but she can still touch the river fresh in the Yellow River.
If you want to say what fish species are the most expensive in the Yellow River, of course, you have to talk about the three fresh fish in the Yellow River.
The so-called Huangjiang Three Fresh refers to Huangjiang saury, Huangjiang anchovy and Huangjiang pufferfish.
In particular, wild saury and anchovy, both of which usually cost more than 1,000 yuan, are known as freshwater fish aristocrats in the seafood market.
However, it is said that the Yellow River anchovy has been extinct as early as the 80s, and Huo Sining has set his sights on the wild Yellow River saury.
Although the number of saury fish is relatively small at this time, Huo Sining is still ready to go to the Huangjiang River to try his luck after renting a house.
Coming out of the fresh market, Huo Sining was not in a hurry to go back.
Walking along the old alley, you can see some small advertisements for rent posted on the wall.
Although he didn't know whether it was reliable or not, Huo Sining still wrote down those phone calls with a pen seriously.
That's when you realize the importance of mobile phones.
When he was in Baiyun Township before, Huo Xining didn't think that there were few people who used mobile phones in the countryside, and even if they had something, they mostly used landlines.
But when I came to S City, it was very inconvenient to have no mobile phone, and Huo Sining felt that I still had to buy a mobile phone.
Although she doesn't have much money in her hands, she still has to spend it.
Besides, in the future, she will sell aquatic products, which can be used seldom, and having a mobile phone is at least convenient for contacting people.
Thinking of this, Huo Sining did not hesitate, raised her feet and walked towards the mobile phone city, and soon she walked out awkwardly with an old Nokia.
I'm used to using smart phones, and I'm really not used to using this nine-button straight board machine suddenly.
After looking at the time, it was less than ten o'clock, Huo Sining took out the listing information she copied on those rental advertisements and called the number left by the other party.
Unexpectedly, even after calling a few other parties, they called themselves intermediaries rather than homeowners, Huo Sining suddenly felt the black line, and had no choice but to dial the last number with the attitude of trying it out.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up, and a hoarse old lady over there answered: "Who are Nong looking for?"
Huo Sining was overjoyed, it seems that this time it should not be an intermediary, and hurriedly asked:
"Hello, I saw the rental information you posted in the alley, is your house rented out?"
The old lady listened for a moment, and complained impatiently:
"It turned out that he was going to rent a house, and Allah thought it was that Ka Liang who came to help watch the fish. The house hasn't been rented out yet, are you alone or two?"
The previous sentence was in the Shanghai dialect, Huo Sining didn't understand it, and was secretly guessing the meaning of the words, but the latter sentence was in normal Mandarin, Huo Sining understood, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm a man, can you tell me the exact address, I want to see the house. ”
The old lady answered casually, reported the address, and hung up the phone.
Fortunately, Huo Sining's hearing and sketching skills are good, otherwise he would not have been able to remember such a long list of addresses.
She was a little helpless and apprehensive, and said that the people of S City were xenophobic, which seemed to be true.
After asking for directions for a long time to find a place, Huo Sining came to an old housing area, and found the house that the old lady said according to the house number in an old alley.
After inquiring with people on the side of the road before, Huo Sining learned that most of the residents in this area are old residents in Shanghai, and because they have not yet moved, the housing in this area is relatively cheap.
It's just that thinking of the old lady's attitude before, Huo Sining was a little uneasy. S City is xenophobic, she is a foreigner, and she is afraid that it is not so easy to rent a house.
Huo Sining had a bad premonition, and her intuition told her that the old landlady was not easy to deal with.
There was a polite knock on the door, the door opened from the inside, and an old lady in her sixties came out.
Huo Sining greeted with some restraint: "Hello, Auntie." ”
The old lady didn't speak, just stared at Huo Sining up and down.
It wasn't until Huo Sining was a little uncomfortable that the old lady asked, "You called to say you wanted to rent a house, right?"
Huo Sining nodded, and the old lady opened her mouth to inquire:
"The little girl is a foreigner, where is her home? Nong doesn't look very old, what kind of work is it, why do you want to come to rent a house in a good way?"
Huo Sining's eyebrows furrowed, she didn't like the old lady's straightforward question and the slightly disdainful eyes, but she also knew that it was really difficult to rent a house in a place like S City, so she had no choice but to bow her head under the eaves:
"I'm from Rongcheng, and I came here to go to college, and my family background is not very good, so I plan to take advantage of the summer vacation to find a summer job in S City to earn some living expenses. ”
I thought that saying this would make the old lady look down on her even more, but I didn't expect that the old lady would actually have a smile in her eyes when she heard Huo Sining's words, and her attitude was no longer cold and impatient before:
"It turned out to be a college student, I'm sorry, little girl, it's my aunt, I misunderstood, I thought it was the kind of woman who didn't care, don't you know, some women from other places have come to the alley recently, and they don't work hard to do that shameless deed, and they have provoked some messy wild men to come and fool around, so Allah's house is not rented to this kind of rotten people!"
Huo Sining was stunned.
The old lady enthusiastically pulled Huo Sining into the room, and continued to ask, "How old is the little girl, which university?"
The difference in treatment before and after is too big, Huo Sining really can't come back to her senses, seeing the old lady looking at herself with a smile on her face, she had no choice but to reply:
"I'm eighteen years old this year, and I'm studying at S University. ”
The old lady couldn't help but give Huo Sining a thumbs up: "Ambitious, I know how to share responsibilities for the family at a young age, which is much better than my grandson, my grandson only knows how to drill in the room every day and type on the computer, and I don't know what he is doing." Nowadays, there are not many college students like you who are willing to work in the summer to make money!"
Huo Sining smiled modestly and mentioned the matter of renting a house: "Auntie, I don't know if it's inconvenient for me to go and see the house." ”
"It's convenient, look at me, when you talk, you forget that you're here to rent a house. ”
The old lady had a good impression of Huo Sining, picked up the key and pulled Huo Sining upstairs, and introduced as she walked:
"This house was built in the nineties, it was originally a staff dormitory area of a textile factory, my house was divided into two sets upstairs and downstairs, my son's family used to live upstairs, and then they moved away, this house I found someone to divide it into two suites for rent, one of the tenants checked out a few days ago, you don't look at the house is a little old, but there are a lot of people who come to see the house, but now this year there are mixed with everyone, and my aunt is not a tenant who recruits, I see that you are kind, so I am willing to show you the house. ”
Huo Sining had a smile on his face, but he was slanderous in his heart, saying that the people of S City were picky and shrewd, and seeing the words and deeds of this old lady could be glimpsed and the whole leopard could be seen.
The house is on the top floor, although the building is a little older, but the house is indeed a good house.
Thirty square meters of cubicle suites, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, beds, wardrobes, desks and even appliances are complete.
This made Huo Sining feel very surprised, although the price was a little more expensive, but from the mouth of the old lady, she also learned that there were no idle people waiting to enter this house, and there was definitely no need to worry about safety.
Huo Sining liked it at first sight and immediately decided to rent it.
The old lady was naturally happy when she saw Huo Sining so happy, and soon she found the contract, signed it, and stamped her handprint.
Huo Sining paid three months' rent, got the keys and prepared to go back to the hotel to get his luggage.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I bumped into a man.
