Chapter 165 Sea View Villa
Renting a house in the market is too chaotic, Jiang Ning discussed with Huo Yishen, "How about going to the villa area to try your luck?"
Yes, not only the bottom survivors gathered here, but also many sharp-eyed rich people flocked here.
The villa area is three or four kilometers away from the big beach. It is located on the mountain, relatively close to the wharf and port. Walking along the seaside road, European-style villas can be seen looming in the mountains and forests.
It was a short drive away. There was a security booth at the foot of the mountain. There were fifteen or sixteen people, and all of them were patrolling with weapons.
Seeing a car approaching, they immediately became vigilant and signaled to stop from afar.
They wear uniform security uniforms.
The leader was about thirty years old, his skin was darkened by the scorching sun, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning lowered the car window, "Is there any house for rent?"
Dude, the sour smell of sweat almost didn't send people away.
The man covered his nose and backed away. Seeing that the two were not only dressed sloppily, but even the car was tattered, he immediately said impatiently, "No, hurry up, you can't afford to live here."
Before the natural disaster, there are not too many such people who run business to solicit business. Jiang Ning was not angry at all, and took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over, "Brother, please help me."
Seeing the cigarette, the man's eyeballs straightened.
God knows, he hasn't smelled cigarettes for two years. You know, you used to smoke a pack a day, but now you can't even eat enough, let alone smoke.
Wanted, only in dreams.
He quickly put the cigarettes into his pocket with quick eyes and hands, for fear that someone would find out and divide them up if he was too late.
The man put on a smiling face, and his tone changed drastically, "It's easy to say, the house is still there, but the rent is a bit expensive."
Rich people still know how to play, and they pretend to be in disguise for fear of being robbed of their wealth, no wonder they are mistaken.
Look carefully, don't look at their dirty clothes and disheveled faces, the flesh on their bodies can't fool anyone.
Jiang Ning sounded, "How is the house rent calculated?"
"This area is full of villas, rented out by units, and almost all of them have been rented out by rich people. Now there are only a few units near the top of the mountain."
The man's surname is Luo, and he said with a smile, "You can call me Lao Luo."
Cannibalism is soft but hands are short. He immediately introduced that there are hundreds of houses in the villa area. After the extreme cold ended, they were repaired and rented out by rich people who moved to the seaside one after another.
It is also very simple to rent, just meet the conditions.
However, there are no more than eight occupants in each villa, and all of them must be registered with ID cards. During the rental period, outsiders cannot be brought in casually, and daily entry and exit must be supervised by security guards.
"The requirements are a bit too much, but they are all for the safety of the tenants." Lao Luo explained: "Our place is quite safe, there are patrols 24 hours a day, and the relationship between the higher authorities is also strong. Ordinary refugees dare not break in. This place is absolutely nothing to worry about.”
Jiang Ning expressed his understanding and smiled, "What about the rent?"
"300 catties of grain per month, no dry seafood or salt."
300 catties of grain? Jiang Ning took a deep breath. On the way here, he ran into villagers from the fishing village who came out to solicit customers, renting 8 catties of grain a month.
However, this is a villa area, so it is a different matter.
Jiang Ning looked at Huo Yishen, asking for his meaning with his eyes.
I brought two with me when I went out, and I came here to stock up. Safety is the most important thing.
Huo Yishen has no objection, the rent is indeed expensive, but Jiang Ning's space can be planted, so it's not a big problem.
Jiang Ning thought carefully, "What does food include?"
"Rice, noodles, oil, food, tea, cigarettes and alcohol are included separately. Miscellaneous grains such as soybeans and mung beans are also acceptable. If potatoes and sweet potatoes are used, the quantity should be relatively increased."
"How many potatoes?"
"Double the amount of cold-resistant potatoes, and add 50% to ordinary potatoes."
Jiang Ning has no objection, "Can you show us the house first?"
Lao Luo was fine. He returned to the security booth, rode on the patrolling donkey, and drove slowly towards the villa area on the mountain.
Jiang Ning opened the car window, looking around and listening to all directions.
Judging from the lineup of security guards and the little donkey, the security facilities in the villa area are relatively good. Many trees on the mountain have not been frozen to death, and the humid air has revived them, and they have grown green leaves.
The villas are built along the winding mountain road, and there is one building every few tens of meters.
Two-and-a-half-story European-style small western-style buildings, solar generators are installed on many balconies, and all balcony windows are surrounded by stainless steel mesh.
It is close to the sea, the wind is relatively strong, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the water vapor is sufficient. The drought situation is much less than that of Fengcheng, and it is surrounded by lush green trees.
The car drove so slowly that Jiang Ning even heard the sound of the diesel engine.
Some villas even have glass greenhouses, sun umbrellas, and beach chairs. Fair-skinned beauties wear sunshade glasses and drink ice drinks for morning sun baths.
Those who don't know think this is a vacation paradise, natural disasters and the end of the world are all bullshit!
When the car drove to the middle of the mountain, Jiang Ning looked down the mountain and saw a child playing football on the roof.
Jiang Ning couldn't help feeling that even in the same natural disaster mode, the lives of people are still very different.
The woods are lush in the middle of the mountain, and the heat is not so severe. All the villas have been rented out, and only the three buildings near the top of the mountain are still vacant.
Lao Luo parked the car and opened the gate of the villa, "Your car can be driven in."
Lao Luo was not surprised to see a child walking out of the dilapidated car, but he was still shocked when he saw the majestic Gouzi.
There are two or three households in the villa area that have pets, some with cats and some with dogs, but they are all small pets and don't eat much.
What kind of conditions are needed to raise a dog so...fat and strong.
Lao Luo couldn't help but look more, only to find that the dog's eyes were full of murderous intent. Looking at its posture ready to fight at any time, he felt that he could pounce on him and tear himself apart at any moment.
I shivered in the morning, and didn't dare to look at it again.
Jiang Ning beckoned, and the dog turned into a sheep in seconds, obediently circling around her.
The villa is very large. There are sculptures and fountains in the front yard. The flowers and plants have withered due to the high temperature and drought.
The appearance is high-end and elegant. There are four rooms on each floor, but the decent furniture is almost gone, but the air conditioner on the wall is still there.
It can be seen that the place has been repaired and decorated, and the water pipes have been replaced.
Standing on the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of the blue sea.
Therefore, expensive is expensive.
Jiang Ning was very satisfied, and then went to see the remaining two buildings.
The architectural design is similar, except that the villas on the top of the mountain are located on a high terrain, and there are fewer tall trees around. It is obviously much hotter than that on the mountainside, but the view and scenery are better.
Lao Luo asked, "Are you going to rent it?"
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry to express, "Brother Luo, to tell you the truth, we are here for business. We want to sell sea salt and dry goods. Can this business be done?"
"As long as there is a way, why can't we do it?"
Unable to hold back his craving for cigarettes, Lao Luo lit a cigarette and smoked, his eyes were intoxicated and confused, but he quickly talked, "This kind of horrible weather has forced people to die, and everyone is running to the beach.
There are too many people, not all of them can live, and they must have a boat to go fishing, but the boat is either owned by the country, or it is in the hands of the rich.
Some are smart and hardworking. They make salt from seawater and sell it to shops or exchange for seafood. However, the weather is too hot and salt is not easy to make. Many skins have peeled off several layers of skin.
There are also those who want to get something for nothing, so they can only rob everywhere. Some of them come from the same village, and some are from the same area, and they make trouble everywhere in groups.
Many people rent in fishing villages, and their doors are broken at night, and some specialize in snatching children. "
As he spoke, he did not forget to remind the two of them to be careful when taking children out. As for dogs, it is best not to take them out, for fear that they will never return and they will be targeted.
