Chapter 366 Weird House
Seeing Zhao Xuemei coming out of Li Shaoan's office, Wang Fang cursed disdainfully, "Vox spirit!"
When Li Shaoan also came out of the door, Wang Fang leaned forward eagerly and said with a smile: "Director, where are you going?"
"I'm going out and I'll leave the factory to you and my third brother to take care of it." Li Shaoan did not say much to Wang Fang, but explained Li Shaomin a few words and left directly.
After leaving the factory, Li Shaoan came to the street and wanted to see everywhere whether there were suitable stores to rent and serve as a grain purchase station for Zhao Xuemei.
The most lively place in this small town is along the national highway, where the stores on both sides are very popular. Those who do small businesses, open small restaurants, etc. are rushing to rent storefronts along the street.
I didn’t think I didn’t rent a house. Today I came here to see that almost all the storefronts were rented out, hardware stores, convenience stores, shops... all kinds of businesses are available.
Li Shaoan continued to walk along the street, passing about the most prosperous area in the town, and came to a relatively remote area. He was delighted to see that there were still many vacant street shops here, with the words "Store for Rent" on it.
After a walk around, among the many stores, Li Shaoan took a fancy to a house with a small second floor. This kind of house is built by self-built house. If it is rented on the second floor, it can be lived in normally. If Zhao Xuemei moved to the town in the future, the house will be just right.
After a while, an old man wearing a straw hat came over and greeted Li Shaoan, "Young man, you are wandering around the door, do you want to rent a storefront?"
"Are you the landlord here?"
Li Shaoan looked at the old man with straw hat. He was about 60 years old, less than 1.6 meters tall, and a little hunched back. It should have been caused by working in the field all year round.
Seeing his typical farmer look, Li Shaoan thought it was quite reliable, so he started talking to him.
The old man said, "If you want to rent a storefront, you will find the right person. I am the landlord here. Just talk to me if you have anything to do."
"Old man, your family is in good condition and can build a small second floor."
At that time, ordinary families were almost all bungalows on one floor, and it was definitely not easy to build two floors.
The old man laughed twice and said, "Where are my two sons who paid for the money."
Li Shaoan asked again: "Why don't you live in such a good house by yourself? Instead, you have to rent it?"
The old man said, "At that time, my two sons built this house for me and my wife, but we were used to living in the dirt house at home and were not used to living in such two-story brick houses, so we thought about renting it out and earning some rent every month, right?"
Li Shaoan nodded. Hearing the old man said this, the origin of this house was reliable, so he wanted to go inside and take a look.
"Old man, what do you call me?"
"They all call me Lao Deng, just call me Lao Deng."
"Can you take me into the house and take a look?" Li Shaoan said.
"You wait."
Old Deng took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, flipped around and found one of them, opened the door and walked in first.
When he stepped into the door, a smell of dust mixed with a faint musty smell came to his nose. Li Shaoan frowned. It seemed that no one had lived in this place for a long time.
Li Shaoan asked casually: "How long has it been since this house been occupied?"
A trace of indescribable expression flashed slightly in Old Deng's eyes, and then he smiled again: "It won't take long, half a year."
The room hall is still very spacious. If both doors are open, the hall will be full of light. Follow Lao Deng to walk in and come to the backyard. This is a very open yard with a wall blocking it.
After seeing the backyard, the two of them came to the second floor again.
There are two bedrooms on the second floor. There is an open-air balcony outside the master bedroom, which just happens to be visible to the street.
“What did the previous tenant do?”
Li Shaoan saw many colorful marks on the wall on the second floor. It should be the naughty child. It seems that a large family lived here once.
Old Deng was stunned for a second, obviously not thinking about how to answer, and hesitated: "Those who do business, I don't know what business they do."
Seeing Lao Deng's reaction, Li Shaoan felt a little strange. Logically speaking, he would have to understand the tenant if his house was rented to someone else. Why did this Lao Deng hide it from him?
After looking at the overall situation, Li Shaoan was still very satisfied. The house is large enough and it also brings a backyard. The key is that it can be lived in the second floor, which is very suitable for the requirements.
"Young man, I decided not to. There are many people asking me to rent this house these days. If you want it, then let's settle it quickly." Old Deng was afraid that Li Shaoan would run away and urged him to make a decision quickly.
Li Shaoan was very careful. When he entered the door, the strong smell of dust was definitely not opened for a long time. This is inconsistent with what Lao Deng said recently that many people came to see the house.
"Uncle Deng, your house is really good."
"If you think it's good, then let's settle the matter."
Seeing that Old Deng was trying so hard to rent the house, Li Shaoanyue felt that there was a problem here and was not in a hurry to agree. He thought to find an opportunity to inquire about the house again.
"Young man, what men fear most is hesitation when doing things. If you like it, you should be more cheerful." Old Deng said excitedly: "If you think it is OK, I can rent you cheaper. It costs twenty yuan a month. What do you think?"
Li Shaoan made an excuse, "Old man, this price is a bit expensive, I'll consider it again."
"Young man, what are you going to think about? If you don't rent it, the house will be rented by someone else." Seeing that Li Shaoan was unmoved, Old Deng was anxious, "How about this, I'll rent you 18 months."
Li Shaoan still shook his head, "Your location is a bit off. If I rent it for business, I'll take a look."
After saying that, he stopped entangling with Lao Deng and turned around and left.
Old Deng chased after him, and saw a rare tenant coming to ask, unwilling to let go and chase him all the way, "Young man, why not be cheaper anymore, fifteen! How about fifteen months?"
Li Shaoan ignored him and left straight. His steps were faster than Old Deng's head, and he threw him away in a short while.
Walking on the road, Li Shaoan was still thinking about what happened just now. He always felt that the house in Lao Deng’s hand was a bit strange, but he couldn’t tell where the weirdness was.
The old Deng gave people the feeling that he was rare to catch a tenant and had to rent out the house.
Walking along the street, just by passing by Zhang Jie's clothing store. Li Shaoan slapped his forehead and asked Zhang Jie to help him if he wanted to rent a house. She is from this town and is familiar with everything. It is better to have her help than to find it by herself.
"Where are you buying clothes, what are you looking at?"
As soon as Li Shaoan walked in, a man came over. Both of them looked at each other and were a little confused.
"Li Shaoan?"
"Wangshui, long time no see."
