American Manga Dimensional Trader
Chapter 12 This rice is really fragrant
Squeak! With the sound of brakes, Packard stopped in front of the garage of a small western-style building.
This attracted the attention of the middle-aged man who was watering the flowers in the yard next door.
Immediately, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women stepped out of the car together. It was Josie and Margot.
Just looking at the pair, the middle-aged man's face was a little weird.
Although in terms of appearance, Josie and Margot are very matched, and Josie is also very tall.
But with the eyesight of this middle-aged man, it is easy to see that the childishness on Josie's face has not completely faded away. Obviously, he is not very old.
And Margot is obviously a mature young woman.
In addition, the clothing and materials on Josie's body can't be said to be bad, but it's definitely not much better.
Basically, it is a coat belonging to the working class of about ten dollars. In theory, it is impossible to buy a house here.
In contrast, the fur coat on Margot's body was a few hundred dollars to say the least.
Therefore, the middle-aged people could not help but become interested in this pair of people who were not quite right.
After all, according to the current situation, it seems that the other party may become his neighbor.
Next door, Josie, who had just got off the bus, seemed to sense something and turned her head subconsciously, just in line with the middle-aged man's gaze.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. Although Josie was a little surprised, he nodded politely in return.
Immediately, he took his eyes back and focused on the house in front of him again.
This is a standard American-style two-story western-style building, and its appearance is no different from the common western-style building in the United States in the future.
The only difference, it is estimated that only the interior facilities and decoration and so on.
How do you feel? Do you like it? asked Margot on the side.
It's a nice house, but it's going to be expensive, right? Josie asked subconsciously, although he had expected that the house Margot showed him would not be bad, but after seeing the real thing, Still a bit beyond his expectations.
Because this style of western-style buildings will be very common in the United States in the future, but in this era, they are definitely high-end goods.
What's more, the area of this house is very large. Although I haven't seen the situation behind it, just from the scale of the front, the area of this house is probably not less than 500 square meters.
In addition, there is a small yard in front of and behind the house.
So Josie suddenly felt that she might not have enough money.
Don't worry, it's not expensive, as long as it's five hundred dollars, it's yours! Margot said with a smile.
Hearing the price, the corner of Josie's mouth twitched, this woman was really coaxing him as a child.
Uh, well, its actual price is one... well two thousand dollars, is your money enough? Seeing Josie's expression, Margot also knew that the price she shouted was too fake, so Immediately changed his mouth and said cautiously.
Mrs. Wendys, you really don't have to. I'm not as poor as you think. Josie said helplessly.
Okay, okay, four thousand dollars, no more. When this community was first built, it was the same price. You can't bargain any more. Seeing Josie's tone was a little stiff, Margot I can only compromise, but it also completely killed the price at one time. Otherwise, you just didn't take me as a friend.
Hearing this number, Josie nodded, the price was not so exorbitant after all.
Of course, Josie also knows that the price is definitely much lower than the actual price, but looking at Margot's expression, if he doesn't accept this kindness again, I'm afraid the other party will really be angry.
Okay, that's the price, but if the money is there, I have to go back and get it before paying you! Josh said.
The money is not in a hurry, you can give it at any time. Now, let's go first and see the decoration inside. See if you like it or not. Tell me if you like it. I'll find someone to help you with the decoration. After bargaining again, Margot finally showed a satisfied smile on her face, and then dragged Josie into the house.
That is, the yard is big enough and the distance is far enough that the conversation between the two was not heard by the middle-aged man next door who was watering the flowers, otherwise he would have to vomit blood.
Margot's last asking price of $4,000 was actually not a lie. The initial price of this community was indeed only $4,000.
But the first thing you need to know is when this community was built.
It was 1934, and the Great Depression had just ended.
Prices back then were not comparable to what they are now.
This middle-aged family only moved here last year, and he spent a full $12,000 for the same house.
In fact, after Josh entered the door, he also found that he still underestimated the value of the house.
Because the decoration of the house can not be said to be luxurious, but it is also exquisite.
And radios, refrigerators, telephones and other electrical appliances are also readily available.
Even Josie saw the air conditioner and TV! ! !
In the United States, the popularity of refrigerators is relatively early, basically reaching 85% in the early 1940s, so it will not surprise Josie.
But air conditioning and TV are different.
Although invented around the same time, air conditioners in particular were 20 years earlier than televisions and refrigerators.
However, due to technical reasons, air conditioners and televisions in the United States were still luxury goods before World War II, and it was not until after World War II that they were widely popularized in ordinary families.
So in 1943 today, these two appliances are still in the ranks of luxury goods.
How do you feel? Is the decoration still over? Seeing Josie's fascination, Margot asked expectantly.
Very good, so good that I can't describe it in words. Josie said seriously.
These words are completely from the heart of Josie, and there is no falsehood.
After all, in the previous life, in the 21st century, where housing prices were terrifying, he worked hard for half his life, but with the help of his parents, he bought a set of property rights of about 150 square meters.
Well, the help here refers to the kind that parents pay 80% of...
That's about two million dollars.
What's even more disgusting is that there are a full 30 square meters of public stalls in the 150 square meters...
Thinking of this, Josie can't wait to hang some Hong Kong real estate developers on the poles.
As long as you like it, the bedding in the room is new, you can stay here today. But here, the traffic may not be convenient, so you still need a car, I have it. The relationship can get a new car. By the way, you shouldn't have a driver's license, right? I'll accompany you to get one later. Margot said eloquently.
Looking at Margot's serious explanation, Josie suddenly felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Life is impermanent, and the large intestine wraps the small intestine. A week ago, he was still thinking about how to get enough to eat, but now he lives in such a luxurious house.
This is also considered to be a rich woman and a soft meal, right?
But to be honest, this soft rice... really fragrant.
