Two houses, one large and one small.

There are two floors on the upper and lower floors, there is a shop of more than 40 square meters on the street on the ground floor, a kitchen, a toilet, a utility room, and a bedroom in the back, and five rooms with a toilet on the upper floor, adding up to eight rooms and two bathrooms and a shop, with an area of more than 230 square meters.

The small one is the ground floor shop + kitchen + bathroom, three rooms upstairs, with a total area of about 110 square meters, the area is slightly smaller, and the rooms are few.

Unlike the unit buildings in the city, these two houses were built by the farmers themselves, so they were sold as a whole.

Tang Mingyao's family contacted the two landlords, and after looking at the house separately, they fell into hesitation.

These two houses, the big repair has been almost ten years, relatively old, the decoration is the floor is coated with some cement, the wall is plastered with a little white ash, basically can only be regarded as a clear water room, there is no furniture, even the bed to sleep on to buy their own.

Therefore, although the house is large, it is not very expensive, and the seller asks for 48,000.

The small one is relatively new, only repaired for more than two years, the furniture should be complete, and you can move in with your bag, so although it is much smaller, the asking price is not much cheaper, shouting 42,000.

After looking at the house, Tang Mingyao's family went to his aunt's side to learn about the housing prices in the city, and learned that the average price of houses in the urban area is about 500 per square meter, and 50,000 yuan can buy a 100-square-meter unit building in the urban area.

After a day of struggle, everyone finally decided to choose the big one.

It's a little more expensive, but it's a good deal.

It doesn't matter if it's old, as long as there are no safety hazards, it's new to take care of, and the decoration can also be done slowly, the key is that the shop of the house is in a good location, more street than the other, and it is more than 20 meters closer to the school gate than the shop rented now.

It is perfect for opening a store.

To make a decision, it is time to negotiate the price with the landlord.

After two hours of back and forth, the landlord finally relented, lost 2,000 yuan, and sold it to their family for 46,000 yuan.

After Tang Mingyao got the result, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he has long been optimistic about this house, not for anything else, but for the demolition in a few years.

He remembers that when he graduated from high school, the construction had not yet started, and when he returned to school in his sophomore year, that is, in 2005, the road about a kilometer long from the school gate to the city was completely demolished, and all the construction was carried out to build a new main road in the city.

The bigger the house you buy now, the more demolition costs will be.

Well, the small citizens pick and choose, and they take advantage of these small places.

Tang Mingyao did not participate in the follow-up payment and transfer, and he had an important thing to do today, which was to purchase.

The first thing to buy is Hot Wind magazine.

February has passed, the February issue has long been on the market, and I have been busy looking at houses in the past two days in the city, and I haven't had time to buy a copy and come back.

On it, there is the first novel in his life that was printed in lead.

"Boss, here's Hot Wind, February."

"Three pieces of five."

Tang Mingyao was stunned when he took out the money: "Isn't it three yuan, why has the price increased?" ”

The boss said: "It's been revised, this issue is half thicker than the previous one, and it's very conscientious to only add five corners, do you want it?" ”

How could it not be?

I obediently paid for it, and I flipped through the magazine at the newsstand.

On the cover, two rows of thunderbolt characters are very eye-catching: "Hot Wind" magazine is officially revised! This issue is strongly recommended: The martial arts masterpiece "Modern Legend of Jianghu" in the new era!

Tang Mingyao was stunned.

Your own work has been strongly promoted as a key project of the magazine's revision?

What an unexpected surprise.

When submitting, he only thought that this magazine would be changed to a martial arts journal in a few years, and felt that the other party might accept martial arts manuscripts, so he submitted, completely unexpecting that the other party would give him such a big surprise.

This is a magazine that can be bought in a small county, and it can be distributed all over the country, and each issue must print at least tens of thousands of copies, or even hundreds of thousands of copies.

In other words, his novels have been read by at least tens of thousands of readers at this time. Thinking of this, Tang Mingyao suddenly burst with happiness.

After two minutes of stability, he calmed down and carefully opened the magazine to see the contents.

Sure enough, it has been thickened, and the 16-open magazine, which used to have about 50 pages at most, now has more than 70 pages, which has increased the thickness by half.

The content in it, in addition to the familiar gossip and disease-free moaning, is more than a martial arts novel - not only Tang Mingyao's one, but also two short martial arts.

It seems that the magazine has long had the idea of taking the road of martial arts.

Tang Mingyao probably figured out that the reason why there was no change in the past was because he didn't receive a suitable manuscript, or that the magazine just vaguely had some ideas, and when his novel was sent, he directly woke up the other party, so that the other party's idea was clear and put into practice.

In fact, Tang Mingyao didn't know that it was not only one of his novels that contributed to this change, but also the influence of the new school of martial arts that began to sprout in the past two years.

The development of online literature, since 98, the first batch of online writers have appeared on the Internet, and there are not a few who write martial arts.

In the year after next year, this sprout will grow rapidly, forming a wave of martial arts culture at the beginning of the new century, when a large number of new martial arts creators have sprung up, such as Cangyue, Bufeiyan, Xiaolinden, Shi Weihan, and Fengge...... are all new-school martial arts writers who were familiar in those years.

The revision of "Hot Wind" is a layout made in advance by keenly discovering the market trend.

Intoxicated for a while, Tang Mingyao felt that he had inadvertently opened a door to success.

He wants to write martial arts, take advantage of this shareholder wind, and soar!

Put away the magazine and rush to the next stop of shopping, a bicycle dealership.

He and Luo Wenxi have already mentioned the matter of buying a bicycle twice. The main reason is that he thinks that if he has a car, it will be more convenient to go anywhere, when Luo Wenxi rides, he can also ride a bicycle together, without having to slow down the road, and another point, that is, he can take his girlfriend for a ride!

Well, the third point is actually what he wants the most.

After the edification of countless literary and artistic works, a concept has been formed in Tang Mingyao's heart: when you fall in love when you are a student, it seems that you want to ride a bicycle. If you don't, you don't feel like you're in love.

After choosing for more than half an hour, he picked up a 230 yuan moped with a back seat, which was very much in line with his requirements.

In fact, there are more expensive ones, but unfortunately they are all racing cars and have no back seats.

Walking out of the car dealership, Tang Mingyao rode it for the first time, went around the city, and unconsciously arrived at the downstairs of Luo Wenxi's house, he shouted a few times downstairs, but no one answered, it seems that the person is still in the countryside and has not returned to the city.

He left a little dazed, went to the post office to buy himself a set of stamps, and ordered a full set of stamps to be issued this year, spending hundreds of dollars.
