Chapter 59: Sold Beef to Buy a House

Whoever has overseas ties means who can get foreign exchange.

You can't use foreign exchange when you send it to China, but you can go to the bank to exchange it for "foreign exchange coupons", which is amazing, and you can buy anything at the friendship store.

Therefore, people with overseas connections are basically the first families to use TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines.

The thinking of the Chinese people is to return to their roots, go back to their hometown to buy a house, and have the opportunity to return to China to spend their old age in the future, which is not new, so Qi Zhiyi also believes it.

"Then do your relatives have any requirements for the house?"

Sure enough, it is the descendant of the housing management office, and the opening is a professional targeted question.

Chen Qi thought for a while: "It's best to open a store on the side of the road, the kind that can do small business, it doesn't matter the size of the house, but it can't be too shabby, you have to buy the kind that you can live in." ”

Yuezhong is a city in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many rainy days, the house is easy to get damp, the old house has not been inhabited for several years, and the house will collapse at any time, so how can people live?

Qi Zhiyi was a little strange: "Why are you on the side of the road?" That's so noisy, your relatives have a strange temperament. ”

Chen Qi thought to himself, there is no way, if you really get your family to come to the city, will you sit and eat empty?

Anyway, in the next few years, the social atmosphere will open up day by day, and when the time comes, the family will get a storefront along the street and let the stupid eldest sister do some small business, maybe she will earn more than him, a doctor.

Qi Zhiyi knew the request, so he readily agreed:

"Okay, then I'll go home this Sunday and ask my dad, I don't think it's a big problem."

Chen Qi hurriedly shook Qi Zhiyi's hand: "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I know what to do." ”

Qi Zhiyi shook his hand: "Class leader, our classmates have been for almost 4 years, are you looking down on me?" Gone, I went to self-study last night. ”

Chen Qi was a little moved in his heart, in the end, the relationship between classmates is relatively simple, and he will be a friend who can be made deeply in the future.

That night, after everyone fell asleep, Chen Qi quietly ran to the toilet, and then flashed into the space.

The "chess knife" has been transformed into a cattle slaughtering knife at this time, and Chen Qi is going to slaughter the two cultivated cattle of the Jin family and sell them for meat.

The loss of two cattle is definitely a big deal this year, although the whole live cattle can be sold to make more money, but the risk is also infinitely magnified.

After slaughtering, quietly go to the Fushan black market and sell it, when the black is not slippery, hiding the head and tail, the gods do not know the ghosts, that is, they sell for money, and there is no risk of exposure.

The action of slaughtering and decomposing the cow with a chess knife is very fast, and it is almost the same as being fully automatic.

Chen Qi left the most tender tenderloin and tendon meat to eat by himself later, anyway, it will be automatically kept fresh in the space, and he is not afraid of spoilage.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Chen Qi came to the school gate and knocked on the glass.

Master Wang stuck out his head with sleepy eyes: "Hey, isn't this Team Leader Chen?" What to do? ”

Chen Qi scratched his head: "Master Wang, I just said that Mr. Li said that during this time, I have to go outside every day to earn some extra money to subsidize the family, and you also know the conditions of my family, no way." ”

Master Wang sighed: "Some time ago, your eldest sister was beaten and fractured, right?" It's hard enough to have no father and no mother, so go ahead and remember to come back before class. ”

The old man opened the back door.

Chen Qi was overjoyed, thanked again and again, went out of the school gate, took out Jin Kangsheng's bicycle from the space, and rode to the Fushan Black Market at an accelerated speed.

The Fushan black market, which is not dawning, has long been crowded, and as the only black market in the city, it is not worried about the flow of customers at all.

Viet Zhong is not a traditional cattle-raising area, and it is rare to see beef sold in grocery stores, and there is no meat ticket to buy it on the black market, so as soon as Chen Qi spread out the beef on a piece of oilcloth, it was immediately full of people.

A pound of beef costs 1 yuan and 8 jiao, which is 3 dimes more expensive than the market price, but it can't resist the food-loving city people, and the business is very good.

Chen Qi went for a week, and finally sold out more than 600 catties of beef, and the money in hand was 1,100 yuan, a huge amount of money, Jin Kangsheng cried and fainted in the toilet.

So far, plus the money earned during the summer vacation and the subsidy for making mannequins, Chen Qi now has a total of 5,600 yuan, which is enough to buy a house.

After returning to school, Qi Zhiyi's good news also brought.

In a corner of the school playground, Qi Zhiyi handed a piece of paper to Chen Qi,

"Look, there are three houses on it that meet your requirements. But don't think about the most lively Jiefang Road, where the houses are in the hands of various units, and there are no private ones. ”

Chen Qi took a closer look, and combined with his impression of leaving the sea, he knew where the three suites were.

"Can you go and see the house?"

"Cheng, my dad has already said hello, I'll go with you tomorrow and Sunday, and you have to negotiate the specific price."

Chen Qi patted Qi Zhiyi on the shoulder: "Don't thank you for your kindness, I have all the brothers in mind." ”

Qi Zhiyi glanced at him, "Flesh and numb." ”

The next morning, the two quietly left the school, Qi Zhiyi had a bicycle, and took Chen Qi to start walking around the three houses.

One is located on Labor Road, in addition to the landlord, there are 3 families living in the yard, all of which were divided after liberation, and there is basically no hope of driving them out, so they can only pass.

The second set is located on Xinjian Road, the door is very lively, but the house is a little small, there are only 4 rooms in total, Chen Qi thought that it would not be enough to live if he got married in the future, so he could only give up.

The third suite is located on Lu Xun Road, opposite the house is the former residence of Lu Shuren.

This is an independent Jiangnan traditional house with a courtyard in the middle, a three-room two-story building on the north and south sides, and a small river on the south side of the house.

People come and go on Lu Xun Road, not only locals, but also many tourists who come to visit the former residence of Lu Shuren.

The house is also very well maintained, clean and clean, and there are even a lot of brick carvings and wood carvings to decorate, obviously the landlord's family should have been a scholarly disciple.

Chen Qi walked around accompanied by the landlord and already liked it in his heart.

Separate courtyard, enough privacy.

The yard is full of sunshine, there is a well, which will be convenient for washing and drying in the future, and there are three east wings for the kitchen and dining room.

There are 6 rooms up and down the small building on the south side, except for the hall in the middle, the other 5 rooms can be used as rooms, and it is relatively quiet by the river.

When the small building on the north side of the street is opened, the three rooms on the side of the street are all opened, and it can be turned into a prosperous shop, and the upstairs can be used as a warehouse, so that the stupid sister can do some small business casually.

Don't want rent, all you earn is profit, and you can't lose money when you do anything.

The disadvantage is that there is no flush toilet and bathroom, well, this is Chen Qi's hypocrisy, this year's old city, everyone uses wooden toilets, there are sanitation workers to collect it in the morning, and they have to take it out and pour out the feces themselves.
