Chapter 659
The pump's surname should be Li, but I don't know his real name, because everyone around him calls him that, and it has become like this over time. Just like Bean Sprouts, I don't feel comfortable calling him Lu Ziming every day.
Tingting is not fake ugly, she is really ugly.
But her eye for water pumps is perfect for the phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
After settling in Shizheng Youth Hostel, the next day Yang Kun sent Tingting and I to find someone to negotiate renting a house. I actually knew very well that the reason why Yang Kun was so anxious to let me work was because he wanted me to participate as soon as possible. Only I Once in the water, he, the boss, should feel at ease.
Behind the Kaiyuan Temple Tower is Danan Mountain, which is now built with steps leading to the top of the mountain. A red billboard is hung at the highest point: "Pearl of the Silk Road, the most beautiful Bin City."
When I arrived at Ziwei Square at around 3 pm that day, the tape recorder in the square was connected to the stereo and was playing songs. A dozen old men and women were exercising, and two children were pushing iron hoops and happily running around the Kaiyuan Temple Tower.
I put on my sunglasses and walked carefully around the ancient pagoda twice. I found that the pagoda was surrounded by railings and full of holly. Standing outside the railings and looking up, I felt that the tower of Kaiyuan Temple was majestic and majestic. It was nearly 50 years old. meters high, with the first floor being nine meters high. The brick walls are so tightly jointed and so smooth that it is impossible to climb up with bare hands. A small arch was opened under the tower, but the door was blocked by the staff of the cultural preservation unit.
A pair of wind chimes are hung on the eaves of the top tower. The bells are blown together by the wind. People feel better after listening to the sound of wind chimes.
At this time, a rough female voice came from behind.
"Brother Xiang, why are you running around in circles? Let's go find someone to inquire about renting a house. We're exhausted." Tingting said to me while breathing heavily.
I moved my sunglasses down, looked at her and said, "Who is your brother Xiang? I'm telling you, don't scream. You are older than me. Also, you talked to me about the water pump. I don't want to be beaten."
"Tch, Pump and I are just having fun, but you are handsome..." Tingting shook her hair and smiled, showing her two front teeth.
I've seen too many good-looking girls, and I wouldn't say it to hurt her self-esteem, but I felt uncomfortable all over as soon as I saw her, and I immediately walked towards the small building.
Downstairs there were two or three vendors selling leather gloves and cotton headphones.
"Come on, brother, smoke a cigarette. It's hard work, and you still come out to set up a stall in such a cold weather." I smiled and gave others cigarettes.
"Hey, you're welcome. I have nothing to do at home. I just earn some money to buy groceries."
I smiled and started chatting with him, and accidentally asked about this two-story building. I said that I wanted to rent it to do some business, but I didn’t know where to find the owner.
"You are talking about this building," the eldest brother looked back and said, "I know, this is not a self-built house, it is for the auditorium. The second floor is full of broken tables. Last year, the cultural preservation office was renovated, and some workers lived in it. After a while, why, do you really plan to rent it for business?"
I nodded and said yes.
The elder brother held a cigarette, thought for a while, and suddenly whispered to me: "Brother, are you not from here? Let me tell you something, a person died in this building last summer. It was so tragic. He died on the sofa for more than a month. , it stinked before anyone discovered it, and I heard that maggots were all over the sofa when the body was collected, so I said it was fine here during the day, but no one dared to pass by here at night."
"Oh? What's more, why did he die? Was he a worker decorating the auditorium?" I asked curiously.
"No, he wasn't a worker. He seemed to be from Xi'an. Later, people around him said that he went to test medicine during the day to make money, and hid in there to sleep at night. He died that night."
I've heard about the job of testing drugs, which seems to be bad for your health, and some of the high-paying jobs are also high-risk. This guy is a local and lives nearby. I think he has a nose and eyes, so maybe he can do something like this. (It is indeed true. Later I heard that the person who died at that time went to a black hospital to get some kind of injection, and the reward was 350 yuan. After three days of observation period, he came back and died.)
"Then you're busy, brother, so I won't disturb you."
I set out to find someone in the auditorium to see who could take charge of the second floor so that I could rent it.
"Xiang Feng, Xiang Feng, don't walk so fast," Tingting huffed and ran over. She grabbed her small bag and said nervously: "How about we change places? Someone died on the first floor last year. You just Did you hear what the stall owner said? It’s haunted at night, it’s a murderous building.”
I told you that you were misinformed. They just said that one person died in the house last year, but they didn't say that the building was haunted. How could you make up your mind?
I went to the auditorium to find the manager, and I directly stated my intention.
At that time, there was basically no business in the auditorium. Newlyweds did not like to come here because they thought it was too old-fashioned and not fashionable enough. The manager I found was named You, Manager You.
"Okay, that small building belongs to our auditorium. How long do you plan to rent it for?"
"About half a year." I thought for a while and said.
Manager You smiled and said: "Half a year is fine, but if the annual rent is a little higher, it's 1,800 yuan a month, and 10,800 yuan for half a year. If you pay quickly, the 800 yuan will be waived, and I'll give you 10,000 yuan. I am a happy person, oh, by the way, what business are you planning to do?"
I thought we were going to steal the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda.
I know his price is too high. The dilapidated building is blocked by Nanshan Mountain, and a stranger died in the house last year. The price is only five or six hundred per month at most. Because I didn’t spend the money, I can’t afford to follow others. Bargain.
