Chapter 26 Renting

Jiang Ping, who has experience in his previous life, can of course see that this seemingly inconspicuous old roof beam is actually a very precious Hainan Huanghuali!

This kind of wood grows slowly, the wood is solid, the pattern is beautiful, and many of the furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties are made of Hainan Huanghuali, which is particularly sought after by everyone. However, because of excessive felling, in the Republic of China period, the relatively large Hainan Huanghuali could not be seen. Nowadays, Hainan Huanghuali is already a national first-class protected variety, and the heartwood with the thickness of the arm can be called a big material.

However, the diameter of the heartwood of the Huanghuali wood in front of Jiang Ping's eyes at the moment is at least twenty centimeters. Such a large huanghuali wood is a rare material even in the Ming and Qing dynasties. If it weren't for the fact that this house has a history of more than 100 years, it would not be possible to find such a large rosewood as a roof beam.

I don't know if the owner who built this house was illiterate, or he wanted to leave a fortune for future generations, so he used such a large huanghuali as the roof beam. It's a pity that his descendants don't know the goods, so they actually abandon such a precious thing, but they turn out to be cheaper than Jiang Ping.

Now Jiang Ping also understands why the snobs can see the golden light representing wealth on these two seemingly inconspicuous roof beams. These two pieces of Hainan Huanghuali wood are very precious and can indeed bring him fortune.

In addition to these two Hainan Huanghuali wood, Jiangping also has more important harvests. That is, he knows that snobbery can be used not only on others, but also on other objects. The difference between the two is that the different colors that the snobs see on someone else's seal indicate that person's future fortune. And the colors seen on the items indicate what kind of fortune these items can bring to Jiang Ping himself.

Snobbery still has such a role, which also makes Jiang Ping very happy. In this way, even if he can not only predict the fortune of others with a snobbish eye, but also rely on this ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil for himself, the benefits for the future are naturally self-evident.

However, Jiang Ping had seen the world in his previous life after all, although buying these two Hainan huanghuali for 300 yuan was definitely a big advantage, but he still calmed down quickly. Jiang Ping knew that he couldn't be too happy yet, and he had to find a place to place these two precious pieces of wood first.

It is absolutely impossible to move home, not to mention that the slightly cramped home can't put down such two big guys, and even if Jiang Ping can put it down, he won't do that. It was hard for him to explain to his parents why he had to get two old beams to put in his home.

"Where can I put it?" Looking at the Hainan Huanghuali material in front of him, Jiang Ping fell into the trouble of happiness.

There are several requirements for the place where Hainan Huanghuali wood is placed. First of all, of course, it is safe, and you must not just put it on the side of the road, in case someone pulls it away as firewood, there will be nowhere to cry at that time. Secondly, Jiang Ping wanted the place to be big enough so that he would have enough space to work and turn these two pieces of precious wood into beautiful furniture.

For the current Jiang Ping, it is not easy to find such a place. He thought about it for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a suitable place.

Jiang Ping glanced at the old house and saw that the migrant workers were still dismantling another beam, so he shouted loudly to the middle-aged man led by him: "Master Wang, I'll leave first, please help me take a look at this wood." Later, I may have to trouble you to help me move the two girders to my place of residence, and the salary will be calculated, okay?"

The migrant workers were originally doing hard work, and when they heard that there was still money to be earned, the middle-aged man surnamed Wang naturally agreed. Jiang Ping rode away with confidence, pedaling the bicycle all the way, and returned to Huanhua Lane in a blink of an eye.

However, Jiang Ping did not stop in front of Sun Wenhai's house, but seemed to continue to move forward according to the memory just now, and soon saw the old lady who showed him the way before.

When people are older, the pace of life is slow, Jiang Ping has been away for so long, and this kind old man is still sitting in the shade of a tree. Seeing Jiang Ping riding over, the old lady asked him with a smile: "Young man, has the little grandson's family been found?"

"I found it, thank you!" Jiang Ping politely thanked the old man.

However, Jiang Ping came back not just to express his gratitude to the old man, he quickly asked: "Old man, you just said that there is a house for rent, can I take a look?"

"You want to rent a house?" The old man glanced at Jiang Ping, and said with some confusion: "I hear that your accent is local, why do you want to come out to rent a house to live at a young age?"

Jiang Ping thought of a reason on the way, and said without hesitation: "Old man, I didn't borrow the house myself, I borrowed it for my family." The family's old house was demolished, and there were two roof beams that the adults in the family were reluctant to throw away, and wanted to borrow a place to put it first, and then move away when they could use it later. ”

Young people will definitely think that Jiang Ping's reason is unreliable, how can there be a special rent for the purpose of putting two worthless beams? However, when the old lady heard this, she nodded again and again, and said with great appreciation: "Your family has done the right thing, it is all left by the ancestors, how can you say that you can throw it away? If you have the conditions, it is better to keep it as much as possible!"

The old man's reaction made Jiang Ping very happy, and he hurriedly asked her, "Then are you planning to lend me the house?"

"Hmm. The old man got up from the rocking chair and said to Jiang Ping, "Come in with me and have a look!"

Of course, Jiang Ping would not refuse such a request, and hurriedly walked into the courtyard with the old man. When the old man crossed the threshold, Jiang Ping gently helped her. This seemingly inconspicuous little action made the old man's opinion of Jiang Ping much better, and he nodded and smiled to express his gratitude.

After entering the courtyard gate, Jiang Ping found that the area of this courtyard was much larger than he imagined, with an area of seventy or eighty square meters. A large tree with lush foliage leaned against the corner of the wall next to the courtyard gate, sprinkling shade on the courtyard. There are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the yard, all of which are very luxuriant, and they are obviously carefully cared for by the owner.

In the deepest part of the courtyard, there is a small two-story building. Although the building is not large, it is very beautifully built, and it looks like it is some years old. This also shows that the old lady of the homeowner is a very nostalgic person, no wonder Jiang Ping said that when she said that she wanted to find a place to put the beams of the old house, it would resonate with her.

"Look at how this place is. The old man opened the door on the first floor of the small building and said, "There are more than 40 square meters here, and two roof beams are enough." The upstairs is lent to someone else, there is a special staircase leading to the second floor, and the two of you are equal to a single family, and neither will get in the way of anyone. ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused, pointed to the courtyard outside, and said, "This courtyard is for your public use, and it is also very convenient to dry clothes and quilts." I have only one request, which is to protect the flowers and plants in the yard. ”

"No problem. Jiang Ping was very satisfied with the house, so he asked the old lady: "Old man, how much is the rent?"

The old lady made a gesture and said, "Six hundred per month, pay three and one." ”

The houses in Huanhua Lane are already a bit dilapidated, and they are still in a not very prosperous old city-district, which was not very popular in 2002, and the price of 600 is neither expensive nor cheap. Ten years later, a yard like this will not be rented for 50,000 yuan a month.

Therefore, Jiang Ping was very satisfied with being able to rent this place at such a cheap price, and said to the old lady without thinking about it: "Then I will borrow it for a year and pay four months' rent first, do you think it's okay?"

Seeing Jiang Ping so simply, the old lady was also very happy, nodded and said, "No problem, come with me to sign a peace agreement, and I will give you the key after paying the rent." ”

Such a kind old lady could still think of signing an agreement, which also surprised Jiang Ping. However, it is a good thing to have the spirit of contract, and Jiang Ping will certainly not object. He took the agreement from the old man's hand and read it, and after making sure that there were no major problems, he signed his name at the end. The old lady also signed her name on the agreement, and Jiang Ping found that her handwriting was still very beautiful, and he also knew that the old lady's surname was Huang.

Jiang Ping put away his agreement, counted out two thousand four hundred yuan to the old lady, and immediately got two keys. One of them is the courtyard door key, and the other is the house key on the first floor. As for the second floor being rented to someone else, of course the old lady would not give the key to Jiang Ping.

Taking over these two keys, Jiang Ping couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. This not only means that Hainan Huanghuali wood has a place to put it, but also means that in the coming year, Jiangping has a small world of his own. He has a lot of things he doesn't want others to know, and he can do it here.
