Chapter 600: Encountering Rooms
"Brother Han, I seem to feel that I have been deceived by you, you will definitely leave tomorrow, next time you don't know when you will come, and we may not be able to meet when you come, so when will you make up for this meal you owe me?"
"Then how about I call your cousin next time I come and ask her to contact you?"
"It's pretty much the same, but Brother Han would be fine if you lived in Ice City, so it would be easier to find you when I wanted to."
Han Li smiled and didn't speak, he waited for the tram to leave, stepping on the lights that were much brighter than just now and continued to walk forward, but his unhurried footwork was a little out of place in the crowd around him who were rushing home.
As he was walking, he saw a group of adults and children shopping around a small cart under the street lamp in front of him, and they were still holding lunch boxes or enamel basins in their hands, which made Han Li a little curious in his heart.
When he got closer, it turned out to be an ice cube seller, there was an iron basin on the small cart, surrounded by foam and cotton mattresses, and inside the iron basin was a whole piece of ice, and the little brother took an iron hammer to break the four corners of the big ice cube, and then counted the money according to the size of the ice cube.
Families with fewer children will have to pay three or two cents of ice, and families with many children will even have three or two cents, and I don't know how they will eat it when they go home.
Of course, there are many children who just skate around the ice car, picking up some splashed broken ice and stuffing it into their mouths, and the scene is similar to the energy of picking up cannons during the Chinese New Year.
Thinking about it, it is now about to enter July, even in the ice city also feel a trace of heat, not only the children began to buy ice food, the pedestrians on the street are also dressed cooler, and even some state-run restaurants have put tables outside, but at this time there are no skewers, at least not in these small restaurants.
However, the chicken rack is a kind of food in almost every restaurant, most of the people sitting on the table at the door of the restaurant are young people, three or five of them get together, four cents a smoked chicken rack, eight cents a pound of sauce pig's head meat, five cents a large plate of celery peanuts, five-spice dried tofu, rich, there is a card to drink Daha beer, but most people drink the Great Northern Wilderness.
Don't know which restaurant makes the best food? All you have to do is sit down at the restaurant with the most people, and that's an eternal law.
Han Li found the restaurant with the most family to sit down, asked for a fried sausage with sharp peppers, dumplings stuffed with pork and leek, and a bottle of beer, and after paying the money, he found a table and sat down to wait for the waiter to call out.
Han Li came here to eat, and the chef's skills here were really good, especially the fried sausage with sharp peppers.
While Han Li was eating, a few young people next to him brought up a very interesting topic while chattering.
That is, there are some courtyards on Ji L Street and Liaoyang Street, and I heard the old man say that they were originally the mansions of Lao Maozi or rich Jewish merchants.
Later, some of them have been assigned to certain units as office space, but there are still some courtyards that are more mysterious, because whenever he passes by there, the gates of those courtyards are closed, and the courtyard walls are very high, so you can't see the situation inside.
A few young people began to speculate about these courtyards, some of them said that they were the stronghold of the Revolutionary Committee, and some said that they were the residence of a certain big man.
Han Li also had a little curiosity under their various speculations, thinking that he would have to go to the vicinity of the station to find a guest house to live in, and on the way, he could choose to pass by Ji L Street and Liaoyang Street, and it was not impossible to take a look by the way.
With this thought, Han Li went in that direction after eating, but now he was walking from east to west, and he could only pass through the intersection of two streets, but he was originally walking around casually, and he didn't think about finding anything at all, besides, that kind of place was definitely the residence of a certain leader, and it was not a good thing to be too close.
Han Li walked through the two intersections of Ji L Street and Liaoyang Street in a row, but he didn't find anything, and he didn't have anything to lose.
Han Li quickly checked in at a guest house near the Finance Bureau, and now due to the weather, most of the people staying in the hotel and others were outside to cool off or take a walk.
Han Li naturally didn't want to stay in a somewhat stuffy room, so he put away his things, took the key, turned around and went out again, he didn't go far like the other people who were staying, just found a place to sit on the side of the road in front of the guest house.
However, Han Li walked a little farther than the others, sitting under a large tree on the side of the road, watching a group of children not far away play hopscotch under the street lamp.
He has long stopped playing this kind of game, and now it is really interesting to watch others play it from the perspective of a bystander.
When Han Li saw a child lose a house due to a mistake, two eldest sisters happened to pass by him, and although their voices were not too loud, they still reached Han Li's ears clearly.
"Eldest sister, you must help me this time."
"Third sister, it's true that I know a lot of people, but how can you let me help you with this?"
"Sister, you've been working in the housing management department for seven or eight years, can't you find someone who wants to buy a house?"
"Are you stupid? The Housing Management Department is in charge of all housing transactions in the jurisdiction, but to put it mildly, our Housing Management Department is responsible for collecting rent.
And most of the people in Bingcheng now live in rented houses, and a small number of people live in units of houses, even if some people want to sell the house because of job transfers, now both buyers and sellers are afraid of revealing their wealth, and they almost all choose to trade privately. ”
"Oh, what can I do? I thought about doing my colleague a favor this time, and then asked her to help transfer your brother-in-law back from Sealand County. ”
"Your colleague? Is that the second girl of the director of the *Revolutionary Committee? Could it be that this house belongs to theirs? ”
When Han Li heard this, he looked at the children who were playing hopscotch in front of him, and then thought about what Fu Weiyi had just said, thinking that if there was a suitable house in Ice City, would he buy one here?
Let's not talk about the increase in the value of the house, if you have a house in Bingcheng, you can use it as a transit station for you to collect mountain goods, and you can also bring your family here to escape the summer in the future.
While Han Li was thinking nonsense, the person named Third Sister said in a very low voice.
"This house is not owned by the director of the *Revolutionary Committee, but it has nothing to do with his son."
When Han Li heard this, he already had an idea of what was going on in his heart, and now what he didn't understand was why this third sister was ruining the courtyard one by one. If it was the same as he thought, then the price of this courtyard was definitely not expensive, and he could have started at all, if not, forget it, Han Li thought of this, stood up a few steps and caught up with the two aunts and asked.
"Eldest sister, I'm sorry, I just heard that you have a house to sell, I don't know what kind of house it is? In what place? How much are you going to sell? ”
As soon as Han Li said this, the two aunts immediately flashed to the side with vigilance.
"What do you do? Why eavesdrop on us? ”
Han Li also felt a little reckless at this time, he smiled awkwardly, and then took out his temporary work card in the library from his satchel, as well as the translator's certificate, and sent it forward to explain.
"Two eldest sisters, this is my ID, and I was walking behind you just now, not intentionally eavesdropping on you."
"Temporary workers? Do you have the money to buy a house?"
"Third sister, don't talk nonsense, although this brother is a temporary worker, but the translator's treatment is very good, if this certificate is true, it is really no problem for him to buy the broken courtyard you just said."
"Really?"
The third sister screamed in surprise, and then pulled her eldest sister to ask about the translator, Han Li took back his documents at this time, and when they were almost talking, he asked again.
"Two eldest sisters, can you tell me about the house now?
When the third sister was about to speak, the eldest sister next to her reached out and pulled her, and said first.
"I can't understand this big night now, if my brother has time tomorrow, come to the housing management department, we can take you to take a good look at the house, and if there is anything unclear, you can talk about it in person."
Han Li also knew that this was the other party's vigilance and prevarication, after all, it was night, and it was the first time for the two sides to meet, there were other issues involved, a fool would say so much to a stranger, but if he was in the unit during the day, there would be no problem.
"Eldest sister, I have time tomorrow, but you always have to tell me the price of the house first, if it's too expensive, I don't want it, at most I will stay up for another year and wait for the unit to be divided."
"Brother, even if you turn regular, you don't have a house right away, many units won't divide the house once in several years, by the way, third sister, your colleague didn't say the approximate price?"
"She said it was 500 yuan."
"What five hundred? What kind of house is worth 500 dollars? ”
"Brother, let's not talk about it before we see the house, but I can tell you that the price is definitely not expensive, the main house there is a two-story small western-style building, there is everything in the house, no matter cooking or going to the toilet, you don't have to go out, and the yard is very large, if you buy it, it will not be a problem to open a vegetable garden in it."
Under the persuasion of this eldest sister, Han Li finally agreed to go to the housing management department tomorrow morning to find her, and then everyone went to see the house first.
That third sister also promised Han Li that if he really fancied the house, she would definitely help to lower the price as much as possible.
