"Master Niu, you are lucky."

"Master Niu, are you here?"

Many people saw Mr. Niu coming and stood up to say hello, which also shows that Mr. Niu is very popular here.

Like Fangyuan, Mr. Niu likes to collect furniture, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. Of course, sometimes he also buys some things for turnover.

This is normal. Although Mr. Niu has a rich family, it is impossible to only get out but not get in.

"Do you have many local food stamps?" A young man squatted down in front of Fangyuan and asked.

"How much do you want?"

"One thousand catties!" The young man glanced at Fangyuan and said.

"Yes." Fangyuan nodded.

"Give it to me!" After the young man said it, he took out a big black ten from his pocket.

It is now 1962, and there will be great unity only from 1963, that is, next year.

The young man counted out twenty-five cards and handed them to Fangyuan and said: "There are two hundred and five in total, you count."

Fangyuan took the money and handed it to the young man one dollar before starting to count.

"What do you mean?" the young man asked, looking at the dollar in his hand.

How could Fangyuan answer this? He could only say: "Because you bought a lot, I paid for your entry fee."

"That's it! You're quite good at doing business. Okay, just focus on this. I'll come back to you if I need you next time."

Fangyuan smiled, did not answer the young man's words, and counted the money, exactly twenty-five.

After putting the money away, Fangyuan took out the food stamps from his schoolbag. The ones he took were not small denominations, but all ten-jin denominations, so one bundle was enough.

"Count it, it's a thousand catties in total."

When the young man saw that everything Fangyuan gave him was in ten-pound pieces, he didn't say anything, just took it and started counting.

There were only one hundred, and they were all counted quickly. The young man put the food stamps away and said, "Just right."

There are not many other things in the radius, but there are only three things in abundance, namely various kinds of meat, and then there are food stamps and industrial coupons.

Don't talk about one thousand kilograms of food stamps, even if it costs one hundred thousand kilograms, Fangyuan doesn't blink an eye. It's a joke, it has been collected for several months, and it is an unlimited purchase.

Let's put it this way, the money he spent on food stamps alone was not even 1 million but 800,000.

What is the concept? Based on the average price of two cents per catty, eight hundred thousand is four million catties of food stamps.

A thousand pounds is nothing to him! But no matter what, Fangyuan now has some money in his hand.

If he comes across something he likes, he can buy it. Of course, the price cannot be too high.

Also, when buying things here, the prices are much higher than outside, let’s put it this way! For example, the gilt Buddha statue he received yesterday cost him only 20 yuan.

If the gilt Buddha statue were here, he would probably not even think about missing a hundred yuan.

Not because of anything else, but because the people here know the goods. Of course, this is just one of them, and the price here is inherently higher than other places.

Let’s talk about his food stamps! If sold in the four major pigeon markets, the local food stamps would sell for 20 cents per catty at most, but here he sells them for 25 cents and no one bargains with him.

As for the reason, it is because people who come here will never go to the four major pigeon markets. To put it bluntly, it is for safety.

After the young man left, Fangyuan glanced at a land deed on the stall next to him and asked, "Hello! Where is your house?"

"It's right in Houhai. What, are you interested?" The old man looked at Fang Yuan and asked.

"Of course I'm interested! But I can't afford it right now, so I just wanted to ask about the price."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the old man didn't need to be angry. Those who could come here were all well-connected people. He wouldn't look down on Fangyuan just because he said he couldn't afford it for the time being.

"My yard is relatively small, just an ordinary courtyard house, with a total area of ​​225 square meters. I think it costs 4,000 yuan."

"Four thousand! This price is quite reasonable." Fangyuan nodded.

To be honest, if he had money now, he would buy it immediately.

Although it will be ten years in four years, many courtyard houses will be taken away by then, but private houses with title deeds will be an exception.

This is just like the public-private partnership launched in previous years. The higher-ups launched the public-private partnership in order to appease some people.

To put it bluntly, I am afraid of making things worse, and the same goes for private houses. You know, there are many people in the imperial capital who own private houses, and these people are not ordinary people.

The higher-ups will never touch the interests of these people. What they touch is an ownerless house, and they will divide it up after collecting it.

Of course, even if this is the case, it is not in vain. Although the house does not have a land title and is not considered a private house, it is still their house.

Anyway, it is called renting to the outside world, which means that the state rents this house and then rents it to people who do not have a house, or who are in short supply of housing.

This requires money. Not only does the housing have to be paid, the state will also give a part of it until the value of the house is used up.

As for the value of the house, this is also based on the prevailing market conditions. For example, if the house is worth 10,000 yuan, then a portion of the rent will be paid to the original owner every month.

If you keep paying 10,000 yuan, then the house will belong to the state, and the people living in these houses will still have to pay rent.

However, this rent has nothing to do with the original landlord. It is all handed over to the state until the end of the ten-year period.

These houses will be handed over to streets, factories, units, collectives, etc.

In other words, you can still buy a house with a land title, but you can't buy a house without a land title.

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the old man smiled. He thought Fangyuan said it to comfort him.

You must know that he has been here for three days. At first, there were people asking, but now there are no people asking.

He has already thought about it. If no one buys it today, he will lower the price.

"I said, old man, why do you want to sell your house?"

Anyway, Fangyuan doesn’t have anything to do. He’s just idle, so he just has one more thing to say.

"The fourth in my family is getting married, and the fifth is getting engaged. We need a lot of money, so I'm going to sell this house."

"But where will you live after you sell your house?" As soon as Fangyuan finished saying this, she wanted to give herself a chance.

How can people not have a house to live in? How can they get married without a house to live in? Needless to say, this house is redundant.

Sure enough, I heard the old man say: "My family has two houses, one big and one small. We live in the big one, and the one we want to sell is the small one."

"That's it!" Fangyuan smiled awkwardly.

To be honest, Fangyuan had the urge to buy it with a dollar, but after thinking about it, she decided not to buy it. The current situation is not very stable yet, so she might as well not buy it yet.

Fangyuan plans to buy it after ten years. Even if it is in advance, it will not be purchased until later in the ten-year period.

Because the dust has basically settled by then and there won’t be any other changes. On this point, Fangyuan is still very cautious.

This can't be blamed on Fangyuan being too cautious. After all, his understanding of this era is only in books and online, and he is not sure whether those are true.

So it’s better to be cautious, at least don’t let yourself fall into a backlash.

"By the way, leave some of your industrial coupons for me. I'll buy them later." The old man said at this time.

"Okay."

Since we are getting married, how can we miss industrial coupons? Industrial coupons are needed to buy bicycles, sewing machines and watches.

If you don’t have industrial coupons, it’s useless if you have money, they won’t be sold to you at all.

"Give me two tickets for your rain boots." A middle-aged man came to the Fangyuan stall.

"Okay."

"Two dollars." Fangyuan picked up two rain boots tickets and handed them over and said.

"Here you go!" The middle-aged man handed over two yuan and then took two rain boots tickets.

Whether it is rain boots or labor protection shoes, the price is very expensive, mainly because the price of shoes is relatively high.

For example, a pair of labor protection shoes costs only three or four yuan, which is equivalent to one-tenth of a regular employee's monthly salary.

Rain boots are more expensive, costing about five yuan a pair.

This is also the reason why people rarely buy shoes. They make their own shoes and wear them because they can’t afford them!

In fact, it’s not just shoes, the same goes for clothes. As long as you buy them ready-made, the price is very high. For example, if you buy a white shirt yourself and make it from cloth, you can make it for only one dollar and fifty cents.

But if you buy finished products, a white shirt will cost five or six yuan, or even a better one will cost six or seven yuan.

"Your business is pretty good." After the middle-aged man who bought the rain boots tickets left, the old man at the stall next to him said.

"No, it's mainly because my stuff is of relatively low value and everyone needs it a lot," Fangyuan said.

"That's right." The old man nodded.

Time passed by, and Fangyuan's business was always good. Before eleven o'clock, Fangyuan sold almost 500 yuan.

The reason why it sold so much was because the young man bought a thousand kilograms of food stamps at once, otherwise it would have only cost about two hundred yuan.

Just when Fangyuan felt that it was almost time and was about to leave, Mr. Niu came over with a box. Needless to say, Mr. Niu had found something good.

Looking at the smile on Master Niu's face, Fangyuan said: "Master Niu, what treasure did you find again?"

Perhaps Mr. Niu was tired, so he put the box on the ground and said, "It's not really a treasure, it's just a mahogany box. It looked good to me, so I bought it."

Hearing Master Niu say it was a mahogany box, Fangyuan quickly walked over and said, "Master Niu, can I open it and take a look?"

"Whatever."

With Master Niu's permission, Fangyuan opened the box and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Mr. Niu is right, this is indeed a mahogany box. During this period, Fangyuan and his master have learned a lot, especially in the identification of furniture.

"Okay, Mr. Niu, I'm lucky."

"Hehehe, it's thanks to your kid's absence, otherwise I wouldn't know who this box belongs to."

"Uh!" Hearing Master Niu say this, Fangyuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

It seems that Mr. Niu has a strong opinion of himself!

This can’t be blamed on Mr. Niu, he will sell it to anyone who likes it! And he is the kind who never bargains. As long as he likes it, he will give him whatever he wants.
Chapter completed!
