Chapter 9 Hot Selling
When we arrived at home, it was almost half past ten. As soon as Wen Xu entered the door, he saw the landlord sitting in the living room talking to the couple in the master bedroom.
Wen Xu! The landlord saw Wen Xu enter the door and immediately extended his hand to greet Wen Xu.
As soon as she saw the landlord, Wen Xu subconsciously thought that she was about to pay the rent, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible. I only paid the rent last month, and I only lived here for two months. Months to pay rent.
I'm sorry, I have something to discuss with you this time. The landlord just greeted Wen Xu, and then began to talk.
Generally speaking, the landlord only has two things to do when he comes over. One is to press the rent and the other is to increase the rent. And the warm landlord's coming seems to be the third thing, wanting to take back the house, the reason is that the money is tight and ready to sell.
How long will it take to find a house for us? Wen Xu didn't have much thought about this matter, nor was he interested in thinking about the landlord's affairs. People who have rented houses may have encountered similar things, which are too common.
Besides, Wen Xu is not short of money now, renting a house is a matter of minutes, and Wen Xu's luggage is also very simple, although it is not as good as Yan Dong can carry a suitcase, it is not much worse, at most It's just three or four boxes, and my own small Wuling will definitely be able to pull it down.
Of course, the sooner the better, the end of this month at the latest, if you find a house, give me a call, and I'll refund the rest of the rent to you. The landlord was a little taken aback when he heard Wen Xu's straightforwardness. Said afterwards.
That's fine! I'll look for a house tomorrow, anyway, I'll look for it as soon as possible. Wen Xu smiled at the landlord and turned back to her room.
Back in the room, because the landlord was afraid that he would have to call him for something, so Wen Xu didn't enter the space, but counted the money he earned today in the room. The few big baskets of vegetables earned a dollar just today. One thousand or two hundred yuan, of course, Wen Xu's business is purely costless, and the profit is as much as the sales, which is his net income.
Holding his chin, looking at the bills on the bed, Wen Xu began to write and draw in his notebook, calculating the income of the past few days. Every day, Zhao Defang's side is basically full of small three thousand sheep and fish, plus himself Earning more than one thousand a day is nearly four thousand yuan, four thousand a day. According to this progress, how long will it take me to pay a down payment to buy a house?
Just as Wen Xu was about to use his brain, he heard a knock on the door.
Wen Xu, are you asleep?
No! Wen Xu replied and threw all the tickets on the bed into the space, then got up and opened the door.
Aren't you asleep? Brother Liu said with a smile to Wen Xu as soon as he entered the door.
Hearing this, Wen Xu couldn't help laughing inwardly, Aren't you talking nonsense, how can I open the door for you when you're asleep?
I thought so in my heart but asked very politely: Brother Liu, what's the matter?
Let me discuss with you. The landlord doesn't mean that you can't rent it, but wants to rent the house to us for a long time and pay the house in one lump sum...
Wen Xu shook his head and said, Then I'm even less interested!
Hearing what Brother Liu said, Wen Xu understood that what the landlord meant was that the house could continue to rise and even the rent could be lowered a bit, because they were anxious to spend money and thought that everyone could pay the rent for three to four years at a time. How could Wen Xu do such a thing, now that he is ready to buy a house, who has the time to spend three or four years with the landlord.
Seeing Brother Liu's appearance, Wen Xu asked, Do you want to rent?
It must be convenient to go to work here, and the rent is not bad. Let's put it this way, where the rent is not increasing now, it's not interesting to move around. Brother Liu sighed.
Wen Xu doesn't want to rent this house at all.
It's not just a matter of paying for three or four years at a time, it's about sharing the rent with others, which makes Wen Xu feel that she doesn't have any privacy at all. Even if she enters a space here, she has to be wary of people coming and knocking on the door. It's better to move out as soon as possible. I thought of this So he said: Then Brother Liu, you can send a message on the Internet to ask, I am not interested in paying the rent for three or four years at once, and I think this excuse is really bad. Shouldn’t it be enough to go to the bank directly, and still need to deduct it from us?”
Brother Liu smiled: That's all right, I'll find another person, you found the house and let me know.
okay!
Wen Xu sent Brother Liu away, closed the door and began to search the Internet for renting a house. First, he searched for single-bedroom apartments nearby. After looking at the prices, he felt that he was not working now, so there was no need to live in the city center. , I thought about living a little farther away, picked three or four houses and planned to take a look at them tomorrow morning, after all this trouble, it was already twelve o'clock when Wen Xu saw it, so she turned off the lights and went to bed with her big head Sleep.
Woke up early in the morning, first sent Zhao Defang's two sheep and six big herrings to others, then Wen Xu started to look for a house, after searching and looking at several houses, there was no suitable one, most of the houses were It is relatively old, and there is no decoration, and even the walls of some houses are covered with mildew. After several hours of tossing around, Wen Nu lost interest a little, so he just grabbed his own vegetables and continued to be his own vegetable farmer. .
Xiao Wuling dragged a cart of vegetables to yesterday's place, and before setting up the stall, Wen Xu saw the aunt from yesterday taking the lead, and two or three aunts walked over with Xiao Pao behind.
Young man, why is it so late today? I thought you weren't coming. The aunt walked to the back of Wuling's car and said while looking at the basket behind the car.
Something happened today, I'm going to move and find a house. Wen Xin smiled and placed the cardboard with the price on the side of the car in front of the basket.
Give me some green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. The aunt looked at the price on the cardboard and opened her mouth.
Before Wen Xu finished speaking, the aunt introduced again: You have to give me a lower price. Look, I have called some of my old sisters over here, and I will wait for you here at three o'clock!
Hearing what the aunt said, and she brought customers for herself, and she was waiting for her to open the stall, so she said with a warm smile, Well, I'll give you a discount of 40 cents.
Young man, you're really stingy, it's only 40 cents cheaper. The person next to him was unhappy.
Auntie, I'm a small business, and it's not easy for me to sell vegetables in the Big Pearl as a foreigner. It can't be any cheaper, Wen Xu said.
Yesterday it took me a long time to get three cents cheaper, and today four cents will be four cents. The aunt who brought people smiled and stretched out her hand to pick up tomatoes in the plastic bag in her hand. At the same time, she explained to her companions: Young man's Tomatoes, let me tell you, don’t look small, but it tastes like the one we used to eat when we went to the countryside. It’s not like the ones sold in the market now, they look pure and bright. There is almost no taste in the mouth, his tomato is sour at first, and the mouth is watering, and then the sweetness can be brought out after a few bites!
Hearing the aunt boasting about her food, Wen Xu immediately gave her a thumbs up: Auntie, you are a good person!
Listening to the aunts chatting, Wen Xu understood that these few had been educated youths when they were young, had been to the countryside, and had grown vegetables and raised pigs themselves, and could tell which dishes were good and which were not so good, so she read Watching the aunts pick vegetables while happily listening to them talk about shopping for vegetables
The few people who came with this aunt bought a little bit, but not much, the most was the aunt who came yesterday, who bought nearly ten catties of vegetables by herself.
Auntie, have you had enough to eat for a day? It's not like I won't be coming tomorrow, so you don't need to buy so much, Wen Xu politely reminded the aunt.
This young man is honest, don't worry, our family has a large population, with two or three grandchildren, this will be enough for two meals, the aunt said with a smile.
Still, every aunt sent a little 'gift' in her bag. The aunts in front of Wen Xu's car just left, and a few more aunts came behind, just like this. Wen Xu is very busy today. I don't even have time to look at my phone, and it's still dark. Except for the 10 catties or so that were knocked and ruined by being picked up, all the dishes that Wen Xu bought are sold out. You must know that Wen Xu even added extra on purpose today. Some, it's not dark yet, sold nearly 400 catties of vegetables.
Sitting in the car, Wen Xu began to count the money he bought today, cheerfully counting to the early two thousand, when the cell phone in his pocket rang.
Hello! He pressed the connect button without looking.
Hello, is it Wen Xu? I'm from the office of XX company. A not-so-enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone.
After listening to the person on the other end, Wen Xu was stunned for a moment and asked, I've already resigned, what's the matter?
Your account has been returned to your original place by the company, we know you'd better go to your original place to verify... The voice on the other end of the phone continued, and then hung up the phone without saying anything more warmly.
Wen Xu cursed at the blind voice coming from the phone: What the hell!
After scolding, Wen Xu couldn't help feeling better when he saw the money on the co-pilot, and continued to count while spitting.
After counting, he snapped his fingers and shouted happily: Two thousand and four! Good business!
Just as he was having fun, on one side of his head, he saw two small eyes staring at him, and after just a glance, Wen Nu understood that it was the half-grown puppy he fed to him last night.
It's not dark today, even though it's hiding in the hedge, Wen Nu can still see the puppy clearly, the puppy is about forty centimeters tall, it's very thin, and it smells like a milk dog It hasn't faded clean yet, its ears are half erect, its body is very dirty, especially from its hind legs to its belly, there are black spots, like hanging mud clods or something, and its hair is knotted. Rows of ribs can be clearly seen on the stomach, and the dog's stomach is also deflated, and it can be seen that there is nothing to eat.
Seeing the puppy looking at him pitifully, Wen Xu felt a little unbearable, and said, Forget it, buddy made money today, I'm in a good mood, I'll get you something to eat!
Speaking of Wen Xu, she got out of the car, took the car door and went straight to the Chinese fast food restaurant, ordered a piece of braised pork, ordered a piece of rice, and let the waiter scornfully poured it on the rice He drank two spoons of gravy, then ran to the side of the hedge with the lunch box, and put the paper box on the side of the road.
The puppy was very vigilant, and when he saw Wen Xu going back to the car, he slowly stretched his nose into the lunch box, sniffed and raised his head to stare at Wen Xu without blinking his eyes.
Eat, eat! Looking at the little guy's eyes, Wen Xu couldn't help but think of a domestic dog that he had raised at home, but it was a pity that it was stolen by a dog thief.
The puppy stared at Wen Nu for a long time, then lowered his head and began to gobble it up.
Boom! Boom!
Wen Xu was watching the puppy eating beautifully, when she heard someone knock on the car door.
After pressing the car window, I heard someone outside asking, Is there any food?
The person who knocked on the car was an old man in his sixties. He had long hair and no white hair in the middle. There was only a half-centimeter circle of white hair around his forehead, but his complexion looked rosy and his head was full of energy. not bad.
I'm sorry, there's no food today! Upon hearing that someone came to buy food, a smile immediately appeared on Wen Nu's face.
Why are they selling so fast, young man, you don't buy more...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The people who came were all guests, and they complained a little bit, so Wen Nu couldn't say anything, but apologized vigorously.
Are you still coming tomorrow?
Come!
Then save some for me. I'll come here at about this time. I want more green peppers. It tastes like green peppers. The green peppers here taste like cabbage. Scrambled eggs don't even go with rice. I like your green peppers, give me five catties of this, and leave me a catty of the rest of the vegetables, tomatoes, etc... The old man started talking to Wen Xu.
Wen Xu quickly took out a pen and paper: Master, what's your name?
Free, surnamed Zhou
So Wen Xu wrote down Uncle Zhou on the paper: five catties of green peppers, one catty of tomatoes...
Who knew that Uncle Zhou hadn't finished writing yet, Auntie Li and Auntie Chen came over there again, and it took less than ten minutes to write down five or six names in the warm little book.
After finally seeing off the last Aunt Sun, Wen Xu immediately activated her little Wuling and rushed home.
