It's not early, and the Confucius Temple, which was originally full of people, is deserted again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The stall owners laughed as they cleaned up each other's stalls, packing jade antiques, old books and miscellaneous items into their own hemp bags, and then carrying them into their tricycles, electric cars, and pick-up trucks.

For them, these two days a week are the busiest, and some big sellers can make hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of business in one day. Some small sellers can also sell thousands of dollars and eight hundred, mixing food and clothing.

And they have long been accustomed to this kind of life, going outside to endure the wind and rain, going around to collect goods, and then in this Confucius Temple, happily set up a stall for a weekend, close the stall, buy a few bottles of beer to touch, dry ...... Drinking beer, giggling, talking about business, talking about women, talking about eye-catching and leak-picking.

That's what it means to provide for your family;

That's life.

……

Watching the Confucius Temple collect stalls, Lin Yi, who had been shopping all day, felt sore, especially his legs were numb, but he was very happy in his heart, after all, it was his dream to come here to buy books, and now, this dream has finally come true.

Leaving the Confucius Temple, Lin Yi, who had almost spent all the money on his body, carried a satchel full of rare books and old books, like a newcomer, looking at this strange metropolis again.

Standing on the street, he looked almost indistinguishable from the countless migrant workers who flock to the metropolis every day to pan for gold and find their dreams, with only simple luggage and little money. The difference is that in another city, in another place, he is a rising star in the cultural world, a proud son of the collecting world.

At this moment, he strolled through the streets of Jinling, looking at the high-rise buildings and huge advertising spray paintings on the hustle and bustle, and looking at the pedestrians hurrying by around him, but there was suddenly an inexplicable comfort in his heart.

Seeing that the time was really not early, Lin Yi then remembered that it was time to find a place to stay.

Thinking like this, he reached out and took out his wallet, and couldn't help laughing, fortunately there was a card in it, and that card was stuffed to him by Begonia when he left, and he didn't know how much money was in it.

Lin Yi found an automatic cash withdrawal office, and a very fashionably dressed woman in front of him was withdrawing money, maybe Lin Yi was standing a little closer, maybe Lin Yi was carrying a black bag, looking left and right looking too much, the woman looked at him very vigilantly, and then quickly covered the button and pressed the password.

As soon as Lin Yi noticed the woman's behavior, he smiled at her in a friendly manner, but the woman was even more afraid, and when she spit out the money, she quickly grabbed the money, and left in fear before she had time to put it in her handbag---

Lin Yi shrugged, he had always considered himself elegant and gentle, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be guarded against as a thief.

Insert the card, enter the password--- the password turned out to be the girl's birthday. Fortunately, Lin Yi is a good boyfriend and remembers her birthday clearly, but the amount of money that appeared on the screen next made Lin Yi --- 1 million.

It seems that this girl Haitang is really distressed by herself, and she can just stuff a card for one million.

Lin Yi shook his head and only took 5,000 yuan from the ATM. Different from shopping for books in the Confucius Temple, it is easy to get into trouble with too much cash on your body now.

Now that you have the money, it's time to find a place to stay.

Thinking of it, Lin Yi bought a map and the daily newspaper of the day very skillfully, opened the advertising page all over the world to find suitable rental room information, and was too lazy to take the car, so he slowly feinted on the bank of the Qinhui River alone, measuring the legendary and famous river of Jinling with his feet.

Seeing that there were snacks sold next to him, Lin Yi couldn't help but be greedy, so he bought two osmanthus cakes, felt that the taste was very ordinary, ate one, and ate two bites of dried tofu he bought, and wanted to eat duck vermicelli soup.

……

Qinhuai District, No. 230 Jiankang Road, this is it, right?

As far as the eye can see, in a courtyard at the back of the street, there is a somewhat dilapidated old building, a blue brick and stone building, which is known to be old only from the appearance, and weeds have grown between the brick and stone gaps on the backlit wall. Along the way, the neighborhood is being demolished, and this is probably one of the few old buildings here.

Lin Yi once again determined from the already vague door number that this was the house he was looking for, picked up his bag and walked to the second floor. Feet on the old wooden floor, there is a hollow feeling.

Walking up the stairway, I looked left and right, the environment was not bad, only one side had a room, and the other side was surrounded by a wooden fence. Even if it is a public balcony, it should be convenient to dry clothes.

"Is anyone there?" Lin Yi shouted.

"You're here to see the house!" As soon as the beaded curtain in the next room rang, footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged woman walked out with a bowl in her hand while eating. Lin Yi couldn't help but smile suddenly in his heart, this woman was like the "charter wife" who came out of the star movie "Kung Fu", wearing white floral pajamas, and her hair was permed into countless buns, like a copy of the "charter wife".

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, you are Sister Hong, I called you just now, do you remember, I'll come and see the house now!"

"Oh, you're Kobayashi who just called." Sister Hong smiled, "Seeing how old you are, what do you do?" ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly, "Guess? In fact, Lin Yi doesn't know which "job" he should belong to, of course, if he regards Taoshu as a profession.

Sister Hong rolled her eyes, looked at Lin Yi, and then at the backpack he was carrying, and guessed, "You shouldn't be a college student, right?" ”

Lin Yi almost laughed out loud, neither admitting nor denying it, and diverted the topic: "Can I take a look at the room first?" ”

"Of course you can, just the one in front, you think it's suitable or not."

Sister Hong thought that she had guessed correctly, she had to be cautious when renting a house, and not to put any bad guys and gangsters in, Sister Hong has always thought that her eyes are like torches, and she looks like Lin Yi is young, and she looks white and clean, not a college student or something. So he was even more relieved, and while eating, he beckoned Lin Yi to look at the house.

Lin Yi walked over and saw that the door was unlocked, so he pushed open the door and glanced at it, only to see that it was a small suite with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, which was only about sixty square meters, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so big and it costs two thousand?" ”

Sister Hong said disdainfully: "You don't look at my lot, the house is a little smaller, but this is not far from the Confucius Temple, the Qinhuai River, it belongs to the viewing room--- you stand on tiptoe and look over there, you can see the city tower of the Confucius Temple, as well as the painting boat of the Qinhuai River, the most important thing is that this is the second floor, it is very quiet...... Didn't you also say, you want to find a quiet place, this place is very good, look, the surrounding area is demolished, and it is difficult to find a living person......"

"But the rent ---"

"What's wrong with house prices? How affordable! The view room, there is a view to see, you have to buy tickets when you go to other places, and you can see it all at a glance here. Besides, my sister Hong dares to pat her chest and promise you that if you can rent a house cheaper than mine in this neighborhood, I will immediately refund you double the rent! ”

Faint to death, I'm a fool. Lin Yi was thinking about what price should be more suitable. Suddenly, a delicate female voice came from the corner of the building: "Is Sister Hong here?" ”

Following the source of the sound and looking up the wooden staircase, I saw a young girl in her early twenties holding on to the handrail and jumping up.

The girl wore a very soft long hair, very beautiful, wearing a powder blue short-sleeved shirt, a pair of white low-waisted pants, and the short-sleeved shirt did not button the bottom two buttons, revealing a little pink skin and navel.

Sister Hong responded with a smile: "Yes, you are Miss Huang who called in the morning and said that she wanted to come to see the house!"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "How many rooms do you have for rent?" ”

Sister Hong said: "That's it!" I've got so many empty rooms!"

Lin Yi was dizzy again and asked, "How can you rent a room to two people!"

Sister Hong smiled very mercidly and said, "Oh, look, I'm really sorry, this Miss Huang originally booked this room first, but she didn't come early in the morning, and she didn't come in the afternoon, but she came at this time; I thought she wouldn't rent it, so I agreed to you, but now I --- "Sister Hong looked at the girl, and then looked at Lin Yi, typically, preparing "one daughter to marry two husbands".

Lin Yi was nothing, but the girl was annoyed, "I said in the morning that I was going to move here today, how can you rent it to someone else?" ”

Sister Hong smiled: "Yo, little girl, look at what you said, we haven't signed a contract, and we haven't received your money, why can't we let others come to see it, and we haven't negotiated the rent yet!" As he spoke, he nodded at Lin Yi, who was looking down at the house, which means that if the bid is low, I will rent it to him.

Lin Yi has always been harmless to humans and animals, and he doesn't like to be used as a gunman the most, so he hurriedly said: "Don't say that, I can't afford to pay too high a price for this house--- 1,000 yuan, if I can, I'll rent it, if not, I'll go to another place to see." ”

Sister Hong didn't expect Lin Yi to say this, so she said: "The minimum is 2000, not a word is missing." ”

Lin Yi smiled when he saw this, then picked up his backpack again, ready to leave.

The first price is too high and does not meet his psychological price; Second, he really doesn't want to fight with a girl.

When Sister Hong saw that Lin Yi was really leaving, her face changed, and she said angrily: "You go and look for it, and see where there is such a cheap landscape room as mine?" This is Jinling, not the countryside! Don't look at what kind of lot I am, it's too expensive, 1000 yuan, there is no door! The minimum is 2000, and if it's low, it's not negotiable, and you have to rent people in line!"

Lin Yi shook his head and went down the stairs, and the surprised and inexplicable voice of Miss Huang came from behind him: "Ah, why is your house so small, how is it worth 2,000 yuan?" ”

Then Sister Hong was furious again, it was nothing more than her "landscape room" and "good location...... (To be continued.) )
