This proposal made Shakru very excited, in fact, he had thought about it as early as when he couldn't find a shooting location, or he might as well buy a village by himself, but this kind of thing is unavoidable, because generally no landlord will be willing to sell his land, and according to Indian customs, only Brahmin or Kshatriya caste people are eligible to buy, Vaishyas or Shudras, even if you have money, people will not sell it to you, and even if you buy it, the farmers in the village will not listen to you.

So Shakru asked excitedly: "Interested, interested, too interested, I just don't know how big this village is, can I afford it?" ”

"What's not to afford, it's not as expensive as you can make a movie. Speaking of which, the guy who sold the land was also a loser, and he was infected with XD's bad habits, so he was forced to sell his ancestral business. This village is not big, only more than 100 acres in size (converted to 600 acres in China, about 45 hectares), hundreds of villagers, it is just right to give you a landlord addiction, the only drawback is that it is a little far from Delhi, in Haryana. Old Patella explained. (The status of Haryana is a bit like that of Hebei in China, and the capital Delhi is actually within its scope, but Delhi is a municipality directly under the jurisdiction of Haryana)

"It's okay to stay away, I don't always go anyway, just a vacation place. When can I go and see it? ”

"Anytime, when the time comes, I will arrange for my nephew Si Ruim to accompany you, he has more experience in village management than me."

Shakru calculated that there was still nearly a week before the premiere of the movie, so there was still plenty of time, so he took two bodyguards and invited the elder Patera's nephew, Mr. Slim, to accompany him to Haryana.

The village that Shakru wants to buy this time is indeed very far away, although it claims to be in Haryana, but in fact it is closer to Rajasthan, the only thing to be thankful for is that there is a large power plant nearby, so the road is not bad, but it can only take a jeep, Shaklu's bulletproof Mercedes can not be driven on this kind of road.

The name of the village is Bondbari, not too far from the power plant and the nearby town of Rega, the owner of the village, Harrick, who is also the seller this time, was waiting for his group at the entrance of the village early, Harrick first took Shakru to drive around the village, so that Shakru knew the scope of a village. Then I officially entered the village from the entrance of the village, and there was a large pond near the entrance of the village, and I ran along the road next to the pond until I reached Harrick's house.

It can be seen that Harrick's family is indeed living well. Walking into the large gray iron gate, you will be greeted by a large courtyard surrounded by a blue courtyard wall, the whole courtyard is about the size of two basketball courts, and on the left side of the gate is a cattle pen, it is said that there used to be 22 cows, but now they are all sold. There is a vegetable patch on the right, and there is a hand press well in the middle (I don't know how many friends have used it, I played it when I was a child, and it was fun. There is also an open-air bath, and the water conditions are quite good! A pomegranate tree was planted next to the well.

The house is divided into two rows, one old and one new (relatively new). The floor of each house is paved with bluestone slabs, which is a good thing in hot India, and it is cool to walk on it, and the old house is a kitchen and prayer room, and there is a clean water flushing toilet, which is quite not simple in rural India, you must know that even in 2012, the toilet penetration rate in India is not yet 50%, and it is not as high as the telephone penetration rate.

The quality of the new house is quite good, all are reinforced concrete structures, cast-in-place concrete roofs, and are designed with a front hall and a back corridor, the main house is lined up in five large rooms, and the door opening direction of each room is different, counting from the left, the first room is a suite, and the door is in the second living room; The second room is a living room with doors at the front and back; The third room, facing the foyer, is a herringbone window with a door opening in the back hallway; The fourth room is symmetrical with the second, with the door opening in front; The fifth door opens in the back hallway.

Not only that, the design of the room has also changed the problem of low space in the old-fashioned Indian room (his old house is a herringbone roof, no suspended ceiling, the middle is more than 3 meters high, and the door is a little more than 2 meters, and people have a sense of depression), while the flat roof of the new house has a clearance of 3 meters. Moreover, the appearance should also reflect the characteristics of Indian architecture, and a fake two-story eaves were made.

Overall, Shakru is very satisfied with the house, and thinks that he can move in without too many changes, and he rarely comes to it anyway, and the house retains some rural characteristics but has a unique flavor. Seeing Shakru's expression, Harrick stepped forward and said, "How is it, Mr. Pandith, my house is good, isn't it?" I just built it the year before last, and if I hadn't been too short of money recently, I wouldn't have sold it. ”

Shakru nodded and said, "Well, your house is still good, so let's go back to the village and see the opinions of these villagers." ”

Harrick was surprised and asked, "Huh?" What can those slaves say? This has nothing to do with them! ”

Si Ruimu on the side dragged Shakru and said: "In the village, the landlord is everything, the cultivated land they plant is yours, the food they eat is given by you, and even the travel expenses for them to work in the city are rewarded by you!" What do you think they can say about this kind of big thing? It's just a change of owner, and when the time comes, it's enough to gather all the villagers to announce this matter! ”

Harrick, who was next to him, gave a thumbs up and praised: "This old brother is still sensible, it seems that Mr. Pandit, you rarely come to the country." ”

Si Ruim was not complacent because Harrick praised him, but glared at him and said: "Don't think that this friend of mine rarely comes to the village, and you can be lazy if you don't know the doorway, quickly hand over the position of village head, and then explain it to all the grassroots officials, we will never give you the money until these things are done." ”

"Don't worry, I'll finish it for you in three days at most, and Mr. Pandit himself is a Brahmin, so why don't you worry about this, even if I don't do these things, they will take the initiative to come to you." Harrick patted his chest and said, and then, as if remembering something, he whispered, "But there is one more thing I would like to ask Mr. Pandit, if it is possible, whether you should dismiss the servants, they work very hard!" ”
