Chapter 76 Bought a big house!
The last time Li Long came in, he really didn’t take a closer look and just went to sell fish. As soon as he entered this time, he could tell that this was at least the standard layout of a courtyard house, but he couldn't tell it after entering.
This architectural style is different from that in northwest Xinjiang.
To the north is the house where the old man lives. The foundation alone is more than half a meter higher than the ground in the yard. When you go up the steps, you can see the wide eaves and the foundation paved with bluestone strips, which are similar to those seen by later generations Li Long at some tourist attractions. similar ancient buildings.
The ground in the yard is paved with blue bricks, but the snow is so heavy that only a path leading from the main house to the gate has been cleared.
He could tell that as soon as he entered the main entrance, there should have been a screen wall, but it was later demolished.
There is a small garden of some ground on both sides of the trail, which is now empty and filled with snow.
The wing rooms on both sides of the yard are also tall buildings. The pillars are all made of thick solid wood. Because they were painted, Li Long couldn't see the wood, so he asked the old man:
"Old man, what about that?" What kind of wood are the pillars made of? ”
"Pine wood, the whole yard is made of good pine wood, painted to prevent moth. It is not the kind of thing that is made with two knives now, which can be cut in just two years. The wood is well treated, and the yard has been I’ve lived here for decades and it’s still fine.”
"Those rooms you didn't take care of?" Li Long pointed to the wing rooms on both sides.
"How can I have that skill? I can clean the place where I live by myself. It's good." The old man pointed to the back-to-back rooms on both sides of the door and said, "Don't talk about the side rooms, just the back-to-back seats. I haven't even taken care of it. There are a lot of old things in it. If you want to buy it, it's all yours."
Li Long smiled and said nothing.
“I’ll tell you, five hundred yuan is just like getting it for nothing.” The old man seemed to recognize Li Long, “My courtyard is a courtyard house with two and a half entrances. Although it is not big, to be honest, You can also tell that the materials used are very particular. You don’t just say that casually.”
Following the direction pointed by the old man, Li Long looked at the auspicious wood carvings at the corners of the main eaves and the mortise and tenon structure on the top of the columns. He really didn’t expect it. Such regular Chinese ancient architectural features can also be seen in the northwest border.
"There is a horse number in the backyard. It turns out that we are also a wealthy family. We have raised horses and have grooms and carriages, but then..."
The old man did not continue, but Li Long could hear the emotion in it.
"These bad days are coming. Your son, isn't it a joy to have your family reunited?" Li Long explained with a smile, "You should be happy."
"That's true. I have lived in this house for a long time and have feelings for it." The old man said He followed Li Long to the backyard, pointed to the big empty room and said, "Look, that's the horse number. Later, before my son went to Shanghai, he built a greenhouse, and it was still covered with glass. It's a pity that he left. , and no one will care about it.”
Li Long looked at it, and it was true!
A row of large houses, the original roofs were removed and replaced with glass frames, but now most of them are buried under the weight of snow.
"If I hadn't been reluctant to part with this house, I would have left long ago." The old man continued, "It doesn't matter if I hand it over to the street, but you must know the situation of the street. Once I sell it to the street, they will This house will definitely be divided into many parts, then the yard will not be complete, and I can’t bear it!”
Li Long also knew it. In the future, the streets will be responsible for more and more things, so they will naturally need more offices. It is impossible to give such a large yard to one unit.
Just like the old courtyard houses in Yanjing now, several families live in one courtyard.
"Come on, come on, let me show you my main house. There are good materials in it. If you want to buy this house, all the furniture in it will be yours. I can't take it with you anyway. Let’s go...”
With this sentence, Li Long felt that not to mention five hundred, even one thousand was actually worth it.
Because there is a set of old-fashioned official hat chairs in the main room. Even if this thing was copied more than ten or twenty years ago, it is not simple.
Besides, looking at the furniture here, it should be a complete set, but it is a bit old, some paint is peeling off, and some parts are missing.
After the old man looked it over to Li Long, he said:
"Young man, I think you are also sincere, and you are quite to my liking. If you want it, we can give you five hundred yuan." I went to the street to complete the procedures.”
Li Long smiled bitterly:
"Old man, I really want this house if you give me this place. But I don't have that much money in my hand right now. I have to go back and get it today."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." The old man said cheerfully, and then looked around with emotion, "If you really want to buy it, I'm still a little reluctant to part with it."
Li Long also smiled.
This is human nature. Really speaking, five hundred yuan is a big mistake.
But when we got here, the old man was anxious to sell, and some people wanted to buy at a lower price. But these days, not many people can afford five hundred yuan.
It was a coincidence.
He thought about it and just bought it. It happened that he basically had to stop in the county for a day or two, either to the mountains or to Shicheng. It would be more convenient to have a house in the county. .
I just don’t know whether it is safe or not...
"Safety?" The old man smiled, and he pointed outside to the southwest:
"Did you not notice what kind of unit is across the way?"
"What kind of unit?" Li Long also asked I really didn't pay attention.
"Police station, who dares to act wild here?"
Li Long smiled, this place is really nice!
Although the decision is a bit hasty, buy it, it is cheap enough.
"Old man, if you want to sell it, I will bring the money over tomorrow." Li Long confirmed again.
"Sell, sell, sell, why not sell? Since we have to leave anyway, then just cut off the back road." The old man gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to leave it to you than to the street. Those things People still expect me to lower the price, five hundred yuan - young man, you got a big deal!"
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow to get the money and go through the formalities." Li Long said to the old man and left. .
He vaguely remembered that this place was transformed into a park in later generations, but it was not clear whether the buildings inside were demolished.
Leading the carriage back, Li Long was still thinking about whether it was worth buying this house.
When he was almost in the team, Li Long smiled.
Is it worth it? It's so worth it. I'm afraid that even if I take the money, I may not be able to buy it. Maybe the old man will regret it tomorrow.
Let’s talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow!
People in the production team are used to the fact that Li Long goes out from time to time and the carriage is full of things when he comes back. The ones who are most used to it are the dolls playing on the road.
A group of dolls followed the carriage until they reached Li's house before dispersing. Li Jianguo came out when he heard the noise and smiled when he saw Li Long.
“You’re back here? What are you pulling?”
“Roe deer deer, my friend shot it for us to eat.”
“Roe deer? This thing is not good. "See you more!" Li Jianguo laughed when he heard it was a roe deer, "It's said that it's a 'bangda' in Northeast China." The roe deer scoops up fish, our side is not bad.”
“It’s still close, the roe deer here are good,” Li Long said while moving the roe deer down, “I hunt wild boars. I encountered him when I was in the police station, and he ran away without even raising his gun.”
Li Jianguo and Li Long unloaded the roe deer, which weighed more than 30 kilograms, and said:
"How do you eat this thing?"
"It is the same species as the deer." Li Long heard this from Chen Hongjun "Anything braised in brown sauce will do."
"Okay, let's peel it off after it's dissolved - by the way, can you go out tomorrow?"
" Come on, I’ll be busy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”
