The pump's surname is probably Li. I don't know what his real name is, because everyone around him calls him that, and it has become like this over time. Just like Bean Sprout, I don't feel used to 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 plugged in and the speakers were 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 was surrounded by holly. Standing outside the railings and looking up, I felt that the tower of Kaiyuan Temple was majestic and solemn. It was nearly 50 years old.
Meters high, the first floor is nine meters high, and the brick walls are so tight and 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 hearing the sound of the 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. It's exhausting." 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, so I wouldn't hurt her self-esteem by saying it, but I felt uncomfortable all over when I saw her, and I immediately walked towards the small building.
Downstairs there are two or three vendors selling leather gloves and cotton headphones.
"Come on, brother, smoke a cigarette. It's hard enough 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 chatted 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’s fine here during the day, but no one dares to pass by here at night.”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? How 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 have heard about the job of testing drugs. It 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. (Indeed, he does.
It’s 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, and he came back and died after a three-day observation period.)
"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 said 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 is 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 the Nanshan Mountain. 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.
"We plan to open a sporting goods store. Manager, we can sign the contract tonight. Then I will call our boss here. Are you still here tonight?"
Manager You smiled and waved his hand and said: "I can make the decision. It's too troublesome to sign any contract. I'll be here tonight. You can come to me at any time."
After I returned home, I told the story and Yang Kun paid the money that night. After paying the money, I saw what he had written in his notebook and asked Brother Yang what he had written.
He said: "I advance the money first, and if you divide the money later, you have to pay me back in proportion, including the food expenses. I have an account book. We are brothers and we settle accounts clearly. This is the rule of the road."
I shook my head when I heard this, thinking what kind of rule this was. You are the boss and everyone is messing with you, so you will naturally have to pay for the money. Even if you don't live for a year, you still have to support the people below you.
It's really too small.
Yang Kun preached to us: "Brothers, we have bought bedding and other items and sent them over. We will move over there tonight, sweep the floor, and make a bed on the floor to sleep."
Zhao Mouse said dissatisfied: "It's dirty and cold there. Can't we just rest for two days?"
"Yes." The older man named Ma Aiping agreed.
Yang Kun's face darkened: "Who is the boss? Do you want to make money? It's a waste for so many people to live in hotels. They have to move there sooner or later, so it's better to do it sooner. If anyone doesn't want to make 50,000 yuan, tell me now.
."
The crowd suddenly became quiet, no one dared to complain, and then the water pump took the lead in packing things. Yang Kun nodded with satisfaction after seeing this scene.
Seeing everyone busy packing their luggage, I quickly walked to the hotel bathroom and secretly made a phone call.
On the phone, Xiaomi told me that they had arrived in Jishou and that they would go into the mountains to find Xiangxi Heimiao in a day or two. By then, after entering the mountains, the mobile phone signal would be lost. Although Xiaomi spoke calmly, I could still hear what she was thinking.
I feel lonely because the Chinese New Year is almost here.
My nose felt sore, so I consoled me: "Xiaomi, you can treat your illness with peace of mind. Your brother Feng is waiting for you to come back. Xiaoxuan and Douyazai will also miss you."
"Um....."
Hearing Xiaomi's sobs, I hung up the phone ruthlessly.
At this time, I opened the toilet door and took a look. Seeing that no one was there, I closed the door again and called Brother Yu.
"Yunfeng."
"Brother Yu, I don't have Aunt Luo's number. Is Tian Sanjiu here?"
"he is."
"You answer the phone in his place."
After a few seconds, the caller said: "It's me."
I lowered my voice: "What on earth do you want to do? These people are going to start taking action in just one or two days. Are you really going to let me help them dig holes under the tower?"
"Yes, you not only have to help them, but you also have to spare no effort to help those people speed up."
"Then what?" I asked.
"No, then you do whatever I tell you to do."
"Fuck." I couldn't help but swore. It's not your relationship that's at risk. Do you know how many people and pairs of eyes there are in Kaiyuan Temple during the day!
I was about to ask more questions when I suddenly heard some noise and hung up the phone in a hurry.
"What are you doing in the men's room?"
Tingting chuckled: "Brother, I heard it all. Who did you call just now? What did you say about sparing no effort and speeding up?"
"You heard wrong." I said with a dark face and was about to go out.
Tingting suddenly grabbed me. Her hands were so strong that she almost knocked me down.
Tingting looked outside and said with a smile:
"Brother, the water pump is busy right now. Do you like a little excitement?"
