When it comes to Bowett, most of the people in Shield City may not have any impression of him. Indeed, he was just a small citizen. But if his last name is mentioned, that is, the Hazefinger family, then most of the people in Shield City, at least most of the civilians in Xicheng District, will have some impression of them.

Hazefinger Dyeing Workshop is also one of the most common family businesses in the local printing and dyeing industry in Shield City. And the brotherhood of this family in the past few years agreed to separate the family is still the street news in the small half of the city......

And Bowett-Hazefinger was but the most ordinary of the brothers who had been separated by agreement of the Hazefinger family—not the eldest son who proposed the agreement and caused trouble, nor the penultimate who was known for being the most favored and mischievous. He is of average age and ability, and his relationships among the crowd are balanced. So he was able to inherit half of the shares of the Hazefinger family's printing and dyeing house, and continued his father's dye concoction.

"Good morning, Mr. Bowitt."

"Good morning, Mrs. Tereabe. Are you going to the market? As soon as he opened his house for a new day, Bowett ran into a neighbor with whom he had a good relationship.

Terea wore a turban around her turban, and the head of a half-baguette was exposed at one end of the strap of the cloth bag, so that it was not too difficult for her to deduce what she was doing.

"Yes, I stopped by to take a look at the notice of the temporary town hall. Ah, Mr. Bowwitt, our piece is finally going to be demolished, you know? ”

"I don't know." Bowett shuddered, he had been waiting for some time for this "demolition" of the principle of equal area compensation.

"The announcement said that surveyors will be dispatched along the stone street on the east side of the sewage ditch, that is, our Horse Stone Street, and it should be our turn in the afternoon, right? But remember to treat people well. ”

In the middle of the conversation, a bicycle suddenly stopped behind Tereabe. The Elta postman above didn't speak, put down the bicycle tripod and went straight to a blank piece of paper and pasted it on the message board nailed to the wall of the front entrance of Bowett's house.

"Well, that's the proclamation." Therea Belle leaned forward slightly, then pointed to the white paper and said to Bowitt, who was leaning out of the door frame.

Seeing this, Bowitt hurriedly came out of the house to see what was going on with his turn to demolish this time.

"Then I'll go first, I'll see you later." Therea waved her hand and left, but Bowitt didn't even wave her hand while reading the post, let alone turn her head to look at her.

This notice has succinctly stated three points: why it was demolished, how it was demolished, and what to do after demolition. Bowett read it neatly three times from beginning to end, only to find that the notice was basically the same as what he had seen elsewhere in Shield City, and that the change was to change the name of the place, and the reason was that it was just to fill in the drain.

As for compensation, Bowett was completely relieved after seeing the line "still adopt the principle of equal area compensation" and the red seal unique to the people of the other world. Letting go of his burden, he hummed a little tune, closed the door, went back to the house, sat down on the chaise longue, and turned on the radio button—with these words, he had the confidence to spend the day waiting for the surveyor to measure the size of his house. Anyway, he doesn't need to send dye to the head office today, he can touch the fish for a day.

The reason why he is so confident is because the house in his hand is extraordinarily large. Well, it's impossible to know how big this house really is just from Marc Stone Street, it has a very ordinary façade, and a very ordinary height, just as ordinary as Bowett himself. Depth? If the boundaries of the sewer are taken into account, then the floor area of Bowitt's house is only about 40 square meters, which is just over a standard Cierta style urban house.

But if you can put it another way, you can see the nameplate of Bowett on Marchstone Street on the east side of the sewer, and you can see the horse-drawn carriage berth that Bowett used to transport dyes on the west side of Lulanxia Street, which is about the same, is the problem clear?

Yes, Bowett's "small" house is particularly peculiar. The old Hazefinger spent a lot of money to repair the wooden bridge that no one walked on because of the broken head, and then bought the real estate on both sides of the wooden bridge, and finally built this bridge house with most of the area suspended in the air on the sewage ditch.

This kind of luck is not available to everyone - the whole sewage ditch flows into the city from the time when there was still a river outside the city, and then flows into the Minerva River, so long and long, the Hazefinger family grasped the news of the diversion of the city's roads, and quickly stood up to buy the real estate of the two bridgeheads before the old bridge was demolished, and then applied a golden yuan offensive to the officials who handled the title deeds, and quickly completed the title deeds, so that they could seize the good opportunity of the officials who did not have the village in front of the village and the store in the back. And other people who think so will either sit back and watch the Hazefinger family do this big thing before beating their chests, or they lack the execution and can only get real estate on one side in the end, and in the end they can only reach a tacit agreement between the two families to give up the competition for the central area. As for the real super-rich, they don't care about this little territory.

And the middle section of the bridge house is where old Hazefinger and his son make dye recipes - and the sewage ditch stinks? I'm sorry, but the smell of Hazefinger's dye is nothing, and a large part of the smell of the sewer comes from the hole that Hazefinger's family opened into the wooden bridge. During the day, of course, Bowitt had to drive the wagon to his brother to deliver the dye, and at night he naturally had to fetch water for the barrels himself. Naturally, the wastewater flows into the drain.

It is precisely because of the stench of the sewer, whether it is Madge Stone Street or Lulanxia Street, that the residents on both sides basically seal the windows, and of course they do not forget to extend the house to the sewer properly, at least to build a toilet - when it is needed, open the wooden partition, whether it is dry or wet, it is always thrown down. In fact, with the exception of the Minerva River, where such an operation was forbidden, all the inhabitants who lived on both sides of the ditch did so.

Anyway, it's not your own house that stinks - everyone thinks so. Of course, the musty smell of wooden and stone houses caused by poor waterproofing has long been accustomed to the Elta people, and the whole city smells like this during the rainy season, otherwise it would be abnormal. However, the smell of mold seeping from the depths of the wood and stone crevices can completely knock the slight fermentation stench of the sewage ditch all over the ground, and it can be regarded as a unique air freshener.

The sound coming from the radio squeaked and became hoarse after a while, and the voice became weaker and weaker. Halfway through the story, Bowett, if he still wanted to hear the story, had to straighten up and crank the handle vigorously - the radios that are now sold everywhere are hand-cranked radios that are custom-made in a certain frequency band and do not require batteries. But Bowitt didn't do that, he fell asleep.

"Recently, my brother's printing and dyeing industry has also been affected. It is said that the clothes in Mendong City are made of new styles, fabrics, and many colors that have never been seen in the family...... Brother Bowitt, don't you think about finding a new way out for yourself? If you have an idea, I can give you a ride. ”

It seems to be ...... My younger brother who didn't inherit the printing and dyeing industry and started a business.

"Seriously, if you also take the method of demolishing how much area to compensate for how big the house, brother, I still really envy you...... No one wanted that stinking house at the beginning, alas, I didn't expect it. ”

In the dream, Bowitt is surrounded by memories and expectations, and he becomes more and more proud. Yes, those "otherworldly people" who came from the other side of the portal to defeat Elta and help Elta are called Chinese, right? The houses they built themselves have seen with their own eyes, the boxy walls painted with white paste, the "faucet" that can be twisted open to produce water without their own hands on their shoulders, the light bulbs that can make the room as bright as day at night, and the glass windows that can make the room bright as usual without opening the windows in winter...... And all this does not cost them how much money these "demolished households" spend, they only need to obediently move out of their own houses to own.

The principle of equal area compensation is a means of fine-tuning the measured area. If the area to be demolished is 120 square meters, and only 110 square meters are the same as the type of house moved into, then the demolition household can choose to either pay for a higher level directly, or accept 10 square meters of economic compensation. This is a bit of a shammy, but at least it has a good response among the Eltas: the poor think that the compensation money can buy a lot of things, and the rich think that it is not expensive to buy a more exclusive apartment with real money.

Bowett, who was single, almost woke up laughing in his dream, being single but owning the largest house of the six brothers. The two sides of each thirty or forty square meters are nothing at all, compared to the area in the middle...... Well, you can ask for a large apartment and then turn the remaining area into compensation, and then take the money to follow your younger brother to Mendong City to do business and eat and drink spicy; You can continue to work on printing and dyeing with a lot of money, and it's a big deal to go to the factory of the alien to work as a printing and dyeing master to subsidize the food money. As for the compensation? With such a large amount of compensation, I have two beautiful girls left...... Think about the smooth faces of the beautiful girls from Mendong City, and the held up by otherworldly underwear......

Mutter. Bowitt sat up sharply, hungry. This dream is strange and strange, and I was hungry just when I was about to touch it, and I was obviously going to get to the point...... After sitting there for a few moments, Bowitt put on his cowhide sandals again, and walked out of the room with his keys and wallet—he couldn't wait, where the surveyor had gone? He had to take a look. As for going to your favorite restaurant two blocks away to enjoy a rich man's lunch in advance, that's the next thing to do.
