The construction site resumed work.
The refugees have income, and their enthusiasm for buying a house is rekindled.
If the Dong's family doesn't make a move, it's fine. If they make a move, they will overthrow the Zhu family. The refugees who heard the news broke out with unprecedented enthusiasm for buying a house, as if they had been injected with a booster.
Relying on the owner to have meat to eat and a house to live in.
The owner's strength is strong, and it will be fine to buy the owner's house.
This is confidence and trust in the strong.
The sales office was full of people from empty to crowded, and the guys were so busy that they never touched the ground.
The accountants of the Shaofu Bank sit in the financial office and handle housing loans for the refugees.
This time, there is no need to worry about someone hiring someone to buy a house under a false name.
The four or five hundred people who were arrested were a lesson from the past.
Wang Jiangen finished the formalities and got the key, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
The Wang family were all waiting outside the door.
Seeing him coming out, Wang Lianshi hurriedly asked, "Boss, have you got the key?"
"Got it, here is the key."
He carefully took out three brass keys as if caring for a treasure.
Two are house keys and one is a yard key.
The Wang family gathered in front of him, staring at the key and sighing.
"It's so beautiful!"
"The keys made by my boss are so beautiful."
"Brother, can I touch it?"
"Touch it!"
Wang Ergen stretched out his hand and touched it lightly. The brass key feels great in the hand. He grinned, and the corners of his brows and eyes were beaming.
Wang Lianshi also stretched out his hand, touched it carefully, and his eyes were instantly moist, "Finally, we have settled down in the capital. Gai Minger will put incense sticks on your father and tell him that we have settled down."
Wang Jiangen laughed, "Just now the steward said that after a while, the yamen will come to do household registration. From now on, we will be serious people from the capital."
"Can we really be people from the capital?"
"I bought a house, so is it still fake? Sangen studies hard, and in the future, he will take the imperial examination directly in the capital. I heard people say that the imperial examination in the capital is easier than other places."
San Gen was ignorant, "What is the imperial examination?"
Wang Jiangen felt a little stuck, "You will know when you go to study."
The whole family went to the new house with their heads held high and their faces beaming with joy.
On the road, there are many people like them.
Everyone held the newly received keys to the new house in their hands, and they changed their humble image in the past, and they were all full of energy.
Use the key to open the new house, and the house with the big white walls looks a few grades better than last time.
"And painted a big white wall?" Wang Lianshi couldn't believe it.
When I visited the room last time, the walls were dusty and the light was not bright.
Even with the dusty walls, it was a wonderful house.
I didn't expect that there would be a surprise today.
Wang Jiangen grinned, "I've heard people say that the owner arranged for craftsmen to paint the big white wall. I didn't expect it to be true."
Wang Jiangen has no skills, so it is not his turn to paint walls.
"I heard that the artisans who paint the walls are paid 30 Wen a day."
"There are so many! Boss, why don't you learn to paint walls too."
"There are a few masters who are willing to accept apprentices. It's just that as an apprentice, you only need to eat, and there is no wages. After three years of apprenticeship and three years of help, I will have no income as an apprentice. It is better to let Ergen be an apprentice."
Ergen shook his head like a rattle, "I'm not going to be an apprentice. I want to earn money to support my family."
"What kind of family do you support with three copper coins a day?" Wang Jiangen was annoyed, raised his hand and punched Ergen on the head.
Ergen covered his head, "Brother needs to pay off the mortgage, at least I will become an apprentice after the mortgage is paid off."
Wang Jiangen sighed and said nothing else.
Wang Siniu looked at the new house with sparkling eyes, "Mom, can I sleep in the same room with you?"
Wang Lianshi nodded, "Find a few boards and divide the outer room into two. Si Niu and I will sleep inside. Ergen and Sangen will sleep outside. The inner room will be your elder brother's new house."
"Where do you cook?" Wang Siniu asked.
Wang Jiangen hurriedly said, "There is a kitchen."
Each house has a communal kitchen.
In the kitchen, four earthen stoves were built against the wall. There are four families living in their house, and it happens that each family has an earthen stove.
Ten houses share a well.
When Wang Jiangen bought a house, he didn't get a yard with a well, which was a bit regretful.
Wang Lianshi touched his earthen stove, feeling overjoyed.
very nice!
She held back her tears, "Tomorrow I will go to the carpenter and make a bed for the boss, a cabinet, and two chairs. Choose an auspicious day and get married."
Wang Jiangen grinned, "Build another table and a few stools."
Wang Lianshi nodded heavily.
The whole morning, the Wang family stayed in the new house, reluctant to leave.
Boom boom boom!
In the afternoon, when the gongs and drums for recruitment sounded, the boss started recruiting workers again.
The whole shack area was bustling like something.
This time the owner wants to recruit workers from the coal factory.
Most of the refugees don't know what a coal factory is, and they think it is a mine to dig coal. Many people retreated.
Going to the mine to dig coal, I am afraid that I will lose my life to earn money.
After Ma Xiaoliu explained for a long time, the refugees realized that the coal factory is not a coal mine. I work in a workshop, but the cinder dust is relatively large.
What's worse, the coal plant has not yet been built.
This time, to recruit workers, first build a factory building, and then transfer to coal factory workers.
As soon as they heard that they could change jobs, they could work all year round, and they could continue working all year round. The refugees enthusiastically signed up.
…
In the evening, the hustle and bustle of the day ended.
Ma Xiaoliu and his buddies were walking in the shack area.
With the sanitation team, the sanitation situation in the shack area has been greatly improved. Don't worry about accidentally stepping on the poop while walking on the road.
He knocked on the door of the royal shack. It is said to be a door, but it is actually a piece of wood.
The door opened, and Wang Jiangen became nervous when he saw someone coming, "Ma, Ma is in charge."
Ma Xiaoliu smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to inform you that we'll be moving in three days at the latest."
"Three days? Our property hasn't been settled yet." Wang Jiangen was in a panic. It would take ten and a half months for a carpenter to make furniture. Three days is not enough to plan wood.
Ma Xiaoliu said: "There is a new furniture store in the market. It has all kinds of low-, medium-, and high-end furniture. They are all tailor-made for the new house, and the price is low. It is much more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to make furniture.
You take the time to buy your belongings. After three days, everyone who bought a house must move out of the shack. This is the rule. Who dares to delay the relocation period, don't blame others if the job is gone. "
"Why, why?" Wang Jiangen was confused.
Ma Xiaoliu snorted, "If you don't move, where will the second phase of the project be built? If the second phase is not started, where will you work?"
Wang Jiangen suddenly realized, staring at his feet, "A house is going to be built here?"
"Nonsense! Remember, move out in three days at the latest. If you don't move out after the deadline, our family will personally bring someone to demolish it."
After finishing speaking, Ma Xiaoliu took people to the next house to inform.
Wang Jiangen stood at the door, dazed for a while. After regaining consciousness, he hurriedly said: "Mother, take out the one tael of silver I brought back a few days ago, let's go to the furniture store to have a look."
Next to the branch of the grain and oil store, a large-scale finished furniture store opened.
The furniture is relatively small, without complicated carvings, and without showing off various craftsmanship. But it is solid in workmanship, novel in style, strong and durable.
Long ago, Gu Jiu considered the issue of housing facilities.
Decoration is free, and everyone has no money for decoration.
But furniture is essential.
The houses in Xincunfang City are relatively small in size, and it is best to have tailor-made furniture.
Ever since, she ordered Deng Cunli to gather the carpenters, which was equivalent to setting up a carpenter's workshop to make finished furniture.
The needs of Xincunfang City alone can make the carpenter workshop open smoothly.
Today is the day when refugees get their keys, and it is also the first day for finished furniture to open.
Refugees come in and out, all kinds of critical scrutiny.
Guys greet you warmly.
"Which lane, which building, and what room number did you buy your house in? I will furnish it. Don't worry, we have sizes for every type of apartment."
"The furniture here is all made according to the size of the new house. Your house is in Fourteenth Lane, No. 72, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, right? I found it, and the furniture that matches your house It's all here."
"How much do you plan to spend on furniture? Eight silver coins? Okay, I'll help you with the three beds, these two tables, and four stools..."
Wang Jiangen's family stood in the furniture store, stunned, a little stunned.
Can furniture still be sold like this
Li Sheng also had the same doubts as him.
He also received a three-day notice to move out, and hurried to the furniture store while the sun was still in the west.
The huge store is crowded with people, as if you have arrived at a vegetable market.
This is too exaggerated.
Shopkeeper Lin, the shopkeeper of the grain and oil store next door, stood at the door and looked around, admiring.
The lady is too great.
Selling furniture has sold the feeling of a vegetable market.
Sure enough, there is no business that Madam handles that does not make money.
He called out to the passers-by, "How is business today?"
"I'm so busy. I just sold four orders today, and they will all be delivered tomorrow."
The guy complained about being busy, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
As a clerk in a furniture store, in addition to the fixed wages, there is also a commission. The more you sell, the more you earn.
Of course, the person who earns the most commission is the master carpenter who makes furniture.
Every time a piece of furniture made by the masters is sold, there will be a corresponding commission.
Shopkeeper Lin clicked his tongue twice, "Look how popular your business is, you can get a lot of money this month."
"How can it be. No matter how much income you earn, it can't compare to shopkeeper Lin."
Shopkeeper Lin chuckled, "So-so."
Whoops, here comes the guest.
Shopkeeper Lin hurried back to the shop to say hello.
Today, shopkeeper Lin's enthusiasm for work is at an all-time high. Regardless of the size of the business, everyone greets them with a smile.
He just thought that if he sold more, he could get a bonus of hundreds of taels by the end of the year. Be the envy of your neighbors.
…
Early in the morning, as soon as the city gate was opened, housewives from the capital rushed out of the south gate.
Everyone is carrying a vegetable basket or carrying a basket on their backs, laughing and laughing, with good expectations for life on their faces.
The older girls and the younger daughters-in-law gathered together to discuss which one had the most beautiful beads and which one had the best jewelry.
Behind them, there is a group of small and medium businessmen driving ox carts and donkey carts.
Their goal is also the market outside the South City Gate.
Housewives flock to butcher shops, snapping up fresh and cheap meat dishes.
Shopkeeper Lin of the grain and oil store gave lectures to the guys and told them to be ready to meet the first wave of peaks.
The clerk in the furniture store was lazy. The sales peak will not come until noon or evening, when the construction starts.
In this newly built market, except for these three stores, the other shops have only completed the main project, and there is still some time before it will be put into use.
Moreover, the stone slabs on the street were not paved, and building materials were piled up everywhere.
Under the leadership of various team leaders, the refugee construction workers have already started their day's work.
They dug ditches, paved stone slabs, and led to the water.
Inside the shop, craftsmen are painting large white walls, making barriers, and installing door frames.
A group of small and medium-sized businessmen walked into this unfinished market site in the morning light.
"Hey, what are you doing? This is a construction site, and idlers are not allowed to come in. Get out, get out."
The steward drove people away with a dark face.
A shrewd businessman asked, "Are these shops for sale? We want to buy the shops here and do business here. Who should we contact?"
"Buy a store?"
"Yes! When will your shops here be built?"
"Soon, soon. If you want to buy a store, go to Xincunfang City to find a sales office. This is a construction site, so we won't accept it."
"Where is Xincunfang City?"
"You spend a copper coin, and you can find any child to guide you, and you will find it soon. Get out quickly. In case of accidents, who will be responsible."
The steward unceremoniously drove all the merchants out.
The merchants exited the construction site, looked at the robbed butcher shop, and the huge furniture store, and nodded their heads one after another.
"It's very popular here. If you open a shop here, you will definitely make some money."
"I heard people say that this newly opened furniture store sold nearly a thousand taels on the first day of opening."
"It seems that these refugees still have some money in their hands."
"I've already moved into the new house, can I have no money?"
"Since we live in a new house, we need to buy quilts, pots and pans, and cotton-padded clothes and shoes for the winter. It's not suitable for such a big market with only one grain and oil store."
"When I have money, I want to send my children to read and write. I still have to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones."
"There is always a dilemma for people. There is still a market for opening a bank and lending at the interest rate set by the Shaofu."
"There are so many merchants traveling from south to north, and it's not suitable to have a decent teahouse or restaurant."
"I heard that the second phase of the project will start soon, and the houses to be repaired will be sold to ordinary people in the capital. When there are 100,000 people living here, the demand will be great."
"When people eat whole grains, they always have headaches. It should be possible to open a pharmacy."
"The pickle shop is also good, let's have dinner."
The small and medium-sized businessmen nodded again and again, deeply agreeing.
So they met together and came early to buy the shop. You can't buy it, it's better to rent one. Start the business early and seize the market early.
They spent a copper coin to hire a child to lead the way, and after going around and around, they finally came to the sales office in Fangshi, Xincun.
This group of well-informed small and medium-sized businessmen was first overwhelmed by rows of neat blue bricks and black tiles.
"Is this a house for refugees?"
"The refugees live in such a nice house?"
"What a waste!"
"Why are good houses sold to refugees?"
"Such a good house, how many people in the capital are rushing to get it."
"I heard that a house is only six or seven taels of silver."
"My God, my God. It's a waste of money."
"Such a good house, even if the price is twice as expensive, there are still a lot of people buying it."
"Hey, these refugees are really lucky to meet Mrs. Zhao."
"Who said just now that the second phase of the project will be sold?"
"I heard from my brother-in-law's second sister-in-law's brother."
"When the second phase opens, I will buy two houses no matter what."
"You're so close to the refugees, aren't you worried?"
"The places where refugees live are surrounded by courtyard walls, and the walls of houses sold to the outside world will only be built higher."
"Even if you don't live here, you can buy it and rent it out to those foreigners."
"Yes, yes, such a good house can't be rented out."
"Hello? What are you doing?" Xu Youfu led a group of assistants, staring warily at the small and medium-sized businessmen who opened their mouths and said nothing.
In just a short period of time, Xu Youfu had already gotten involved with the steward of the ten-man team. After all, having been a pen and ink servant of King Ning, he has some skills.
The businessmen looked at Xu Youfu's style, guessed that he was a small manager, and said politely: "We are here to buy a house."
"The houses here are not for sale, let's go back." Xu Youfu's tone was more polite when he heard that he was buying a house.
"No, no, the steward misunderstood. We're going to buy the shops in the market."
"Oh... so it's to buy a storefront. Come with me. It's a coincidence that you came here. My wife just set up the storefront lease and sale system yesterday. If you come a few days earlier, no one will receive you."
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect us to be so lucky. Madam Zhao is wise."
"Of course my wife is wise. Right here, go in. Find a manager, he is responsible for explaining the shop rental and sales system to you."
"Okay, okay. Thanks steward."
