Chapter 55: Finding a house is so hard
Maybe for rich people, it is not difficult to find a house, as long as they are satisfied, more money and less money are not considered. But for a person like me who has no money, finding a house is simply too difficult and too difficult.
At half past eight in the morning, I took the BB machine she gave me from Wan Ting's hand and went out, looking around the lower road of agriculture and forestry, and found that there are many rental houses here, but they are all frighteningly expensive. The most expensive three-bedroom and two-living room rent is 5,000 per month, and the lowest one-bedroom and one-hall rent is 2,000 per month, and there is no single room.
That's not what I'm thinking about at all.
I started looking a little farther away.
The most expensive three-bedroom and two-living room rent is 4,000 per month, the lowest one-bedroom and one-hall rent is 1,008 per month, and there are a few single rooms, all of which cost more than 1,000 per month.
I looked a little further afield, but to no avail.
Searching and searching, a morning passed like this.
I suddenly remembered the BB machine, which was given to me by Sister Wanting, and I had it in my pocket.
I took it down and looked at it, and it was 11:58. I didn't understand what it meant, so I went to a stall where I bought tobacco and alcohol.
Guarding the stall was a handsome guy who looked at me strangely and asked, "You haven't used a BB machine?" ”
"I haven't used it, someone just gave it, I don't know what it means?."
The handsome little guy smiled and said: "This is the time, just like the wall clock and the watch, they all look at the time, 11:58 is 11:58, the same as the wall clock on this wall, it is very accurate." ”
I looked up and saw that the wall clock on the wall was literally 11:58.
This BB machine also has the function of displaying the time, which is amazing!
I suddenly felt hungry, and this point is when the company eats lunch.
I started looking for a place to eat.
Restaurants and restaurants, I don't dare to think about them. I could only walk around in front of some snack bars.
Walking into a small restaurant, I saw that the recipes on it were not cheap. I left and looked for the next one.
I went to a few houses, and I felt that it was not cheap, and the cheapest one of the cheapest ones to eat was beef brisket noodles, ten yuan.
I asked the boss, "I only eat noodles, not brisket, how much?" ”
"It's also ten." The boss said.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"Because we only sell brisket noodles, not noodles." The boss said.
I was angry and unfair, so I left angrily.
I thought: how can there be such a domineering? I can't believe I can't find someone who only sells noodles and doesn't sell beef brisket noodles!
After walking down a street and through a small alley, I finally came across a noodle restaurant. I thought, since it's a noodle restaurant, it must be pure pasta, and there will definitely be no brisket or pork knuckle or anything.
I approached and said, "Boss, have a bowl of noodles, no meat, no meat." ”
"Rest assured, we're a vegan pasta shop here, no meat." The boss pointed to the sign at the door and showed me.
Only then did I see that there was a small circle on the sign that said "Noodle Restaurant", and there was an inconspicuous word "vegetarian" in the circle.
The boss said, "Please sit inside." What to eat? There are cold noodles, knife-cut noodles, pulled noodles, ramen noodles, sauerkraut noodles, and so on. ”
I said, "I want the cheapest." ”
The boss glanced at me and said, "Then let's have a bowl of sauerkraut knife noodles, seven yuan, the most convenient, enough, a bowl to keep you full." ”
"Okay." I said, thinking to myself, I've found a cheap one! It's still three bucks saved!
Sitting at the dining table and waiting, I was pondering a question in my heart: Sister Wanting helped me advance 1,000 yuan from the finance department last night, it cost me 30 yuan to live in a hotel, and I don't know how much it costs to rent a house? Where do you dare to spend money indiscriminately when eating? It's also good to be able to save three yuan!
The sauerkraut noodles are here, steaming hot, and the sauerkraut flavor is very strong and fragrant.
The boss said, "There is soy sauce and vinegar on the table, as well as chili peppers, so if you don't think it's enough to taste, you can mix it yourself." ”
I said, "Do you need to add money to these?" ”
The boss smiled and said, "Your gentleman is really humorous, my small noodle restaurant never charges indiscriminately, you can ask for whatever you want, and you won't charge extra." ”
I asked again, "Boss, is there a cheaper house for rent in this neighborhood?" ”
The boss said while busy: "This area is a relatively prosperous area, there will not be too cheap houses, a single room will cost seven or eight hundred yuan." As he spoke, he looked at me again, "I guess you can't afford to rent it." If you want to rent a cheap house, you have to go farther away, there may be three or four hundred single-room houses, but the conditions are relatively poor. ”
Out of the noodle restaurant, I continued to walk into the distance, although there was still no goal, but the boss's words reminded me, so I set the goal at the lowest price - 300 yuan.
Along the way, I still haven't found a house at the target price.
At five o'clock, I came to a village called Yangji Village, and saw that many walls at the entrance of the village were plastered with advertisements for renting houses, some of them were five or six hundred, and some were three or four hundred......
I was overjoyed to finally find the price I was looking for!
In front of a small stall in a rented house, I chose the cheapest single room at 300 yuan. The owner kindly showed me around the house. The room is on the third floor, the area is not large, about ten square meters, there is a single small bed, a small table and a small square stool. The owner said that the toilet and shower room were at the left end of the corridor and were shared. I asked her if there was anything better, at least with a separate toilet. She said that there is absolutely no such price, and if there is a better one, it will be at least five or six hundred.
Think about it, in order to find a house, I ran all day, my feet were swollen, and I was tired and tired, and I finally found this cheapest house, so let's live there, and I don't have to pay attention to any conditions!
I followed the boss back to her stall to go through the formalities, only to know that the procedure for renting a house is: one mortgage and one rent, and the intermediary fee is charged according to one month's rent. In other words, I need to pay a one-time rent of 300 yuan a month, a deposit of 300 yuan a month, and an intermediary fee of 300 yuan, for a total of 900 yuan.
I did the math, and I only had 963 dollars left in my pocket, and after paying the rent, I only had 43 dollars left. I wasn't sure if it was acceptable, but looking at the time on the BB machine, it was already close to the end of work, so I borrowed the boss's landline phone and called Wanting to ask for her opinion.
Wanting said on the phone that she needed to come over at about half past six, and asked me not to rush to pay the money until she came.
