Quick travel to save a miserable life

Lin Hui asked the shopkeepers she knew to inquire about the house while setting up a stall to sell clothes as usual.

It was already quite cold, so most of the goods she bought were thick woolen jackets, thick trousers, and a kind of down jacket.

Of course, it couldn't be real down, it was just stuffed with silk cotton, but at this time, it was already considered a relatively novel piece of clothing.

Although down jackets have long appeared in China, most of them are exported in exchange for foreign exchange. The down jackets on the market are small in quantity and cost at least three to four hundred per piece, which ordinary people cannot afford.

Lin Hui also discovered these down jackets by chance. The owner of the clothing market stall took the wrong goods and they were buried under a pile of goods. Lin Hui pulled them out and felt the quality. She thought they were pretty good. These clothes should be easy to sell in the capital, so it’s all inclusive.

There were more than [-] pieces in this batch. When the boss saw that Lin Hui wanted them, he gave them all to her for fifty yuan each.

The fabrics of this batch of cotton-padded clothes are similar to the popular down jacket fabrics. They are fine in texture and have a faint sparkle. The filling is polyester fiber, which is often called down cotton in later generations, also called silk cotton.

This kind of filling is relatively fluffy, and the popular clothes nowadays are roomy, even down jackets, so this batch of down jackets looks particularly fluffy and soft, and the quality is solid and reliable.

Such a large cotton-padded jacket is very similar to a down jacket. It can be washed if it gets dirty, has good warmth retention properties, and is also windproof. It is enough for young people to wear it to show off!

Therefore, Lin Hui priced it at [-] yuan each without any counter-offer!

The only fly in the ointment is that this down jacket is only available for men and is all black, but fortunately the sizes are quite complete.

On the day it was put on the shelf for sale, Lin Hui wore a small size one as a display, and it really attracted the attention of many customers!

Most of these customers are women. It is inevitable for them to go back and forth when shopping. If someone questions the warmth of this dress, Lin Hui will stretch out her hand to let them touch it.

She wore this down jacket and stood in the cold wind for several hours, and her hands were always warm. Doesn't that prove its warmth!

She showed up and said it, and the effect was indeed good. Although the price of this cotton coat is equivalent to two or three months' salary of an ordinary person, which seems to be quite a lot, but compared with more than [-] pieces of down jackets, it seems to be much cheaper. , not to mention that the down jacket is impossible to buy most of the time, and it’s hard to ask someone to buy it!

Women always like to get together and compare when it comes to buying things. Who in the courtyard bought such a rare piece of clothing for a man? They always have to go back and show it. If other people see it, they will buy one too. It’s as if the less one is taking advantage, no one wants to fall behind!

So, in just one week, more than two hundred cotton-padded clothes that Lin Hui bought were sold out. From this alone, she made a net profit of [-]!

At this time, the house that the trustee was asking about also became known. There were two options, so Lin Hui took the time to take a look.

One was a two-storey house facing the street. The house was very dilapidated, the front was small, and the surrounding environment was not very good. Lin Hui was not very satisfied and went to see the other house.

The other place has three facades, and behind it is a courtyard. There are three or four rooms in the courtyard, but the other ones have doors.

The introducer said that this house is currently vacant. You can rent only the three front rooms or the entire courtyard, which will be cheaper.

Lin Hui carefully looked at the internal structure and condition of the house, and asked about the price. The introducer said that renting three storefronts would cost [-] yuan per month, and renting the entire courtyard together would cost [-] yuan per month.

Lin Hui pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this house for sale?"

The introducer was a little surprised. He saw that Lin Hui was old and not well-dressed. He didn't expect that she actually planned to buy a house.

He quickly said: "The price for sale is not cheap!"

Lin Hui didn't care about the meaning of his words, but said with a smile: "Then you can tell me first, whether it is suitable or not, and I will consider it before making a decision."

The introducer became excited when he heard this, "This house was taken away during the movement a few years ago and used by the Revolutionary Committee. Later, the landlord's house was rehabilitated and returned. It has been vacant for the past few years. Recently, he The family is in a hurry for money so they think of selling or renting it out. The three front rooms are about forty square meters, the back three rooms are about the same, and the middle yard is more than fifty square meters. The landlord's asking price of [-] is really outrageous. There is heating and running water in the house. They also built a toilet in the yard before and buried the sewer pipe and connected it to the municipal pipe. This is rare in the whole capital. If you buy it, you can live by yourself. It’s so comfortable!”

Because the landlord had promised that the introducer would get a commission whether it was sold or rented, so he spared no effort in talking about the benefits of the house!

Lin Hui just smiled after hearing this, pointed to the blackened beams and asked, "I'm afraid this house is fifty or sixty years old. How many more years can we live in it?"

The introducer was anxious: "How could that be possible? This was just built in [-]. It was only [-] years old. The materials used at the time were all good ones. Look at the bricks and the beams. This house is strong. , it’s no problem to live there for another two decades!”

Lin Hui asked: "Is there no problem with the property rights? Are the house books and title deeds complete?"

The introducer was overjoyed and his smiling eyes narrowed: "It's all there. Are you planning to buy it?"

Lin Hui smiled: "It's just that the price is a bit too high. Could you please ask the landlord if he can sell it for [-] yuan?"

The introducer showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he still agreed to ask.

Later, after several rounds of bargaining, Lin Hui bought this small courtyard with three facade rooms for [-] yuan. Now not only did she have a place to do business, but she also had a place to live. .

However, this house has been badly damaged in the past few years. Whether there is a clothing store in the front or someone wants to live in the back, it must be tidied up.

When the deal was concluded, Lin Hui asked the introducer to inquire to see if there were any suitable craftsmen who could help clean up the house.

Because Lin Hui sealed him an additional fifty yuan red envelope, which was an unexpected surprise. The introducer was very happy, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

This introducer was still very reliable, but two days later, three masters were found to help Lin Hui clean up the house.

These masters all looked a bit old, and I didn't know how good their craftsmanship was, but Lin Hui was very satisfied with the fact that they implemented some of Lin Hui's opinions without compromise.

Because Lin Hui's opinions on the decoration of the house were based on the vision and opinions of later generations, which were very different from the popular styles nowadays. Although several masters were a little surprised, they did not put forward any objections. She felt that this was very rare. .

Lin Hui has seen many master craftsmen who are very stubborn and unwilling to accept new methods and opinions, even if they are obviously more advanced and reliable than their methods, they still reject them!

Facts have proved that these three masters not only have strong execution ability, but also work very seriously and carefully without procrastination.

Therefore, the entire decoration progressed very quickly. Lin Hui's houses were all completed in just one month, and she was able to move into her own house before the Chinese New Year!
