Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Compared to Liu Hun's sarcastic ridicule, others were surprised at his big reaction. After all, this was a wealthy area after all. Not to mention the one in the yard outside, the youngest son of a high-rise employee two buildings behind them was said to have spent hundreds of thousands of points at a huge party a few days ago. Compared to such hedonistic consumption, spending hundreds of thousands to build a house seemed much more normal.

Xu Qingzhi had almost finished eating the apple in his hand. His eyes fell on the construction team below. He glanced at the two-story building that had already taken shape, and then said, "This yard must be about 300 square meters. It's really big. What are they going to put in the yard?"

"Why should I care what he does, but the construction work in the middle of the day is annoying, I have to go downstairs and talk to him." Liu Hun was about to go downstairs to argue with the other party, but was stopped by Ye Ziqiu.

"Why are you so impulsive? Wait a little longer. Maybe they need to rush the work. Wait until 1:30. If they continue to quarrel, we will go downstairs to remind them."

Liu Hun scratched his head in annoyance, then simply sat on the sofa and browsed his phone, muttering, "Whatever, just don't disturb my sleep every day."

In the yard, Gu Tongwan walked around the wall. Including the wall that had just been demolished and needed to be rebuilt, the entire yard was about half an acre in size and could be divided into the front and back yards.

The front yard is wider, about 200 square meters, and the back yard is about 100 square meters.

She uses the front to grow vegetables and raise some fruit trees, and the back yard can be used as a place to drink tea. When the time comes, she will find a way to plant a non-mutated mango tree, install a swing underneath, and put a few stone benches next to it. When she has nothing to do in the afternoon, she can read a book and drink tea there. It will be so comfortable.

She is the kind of person who will do what she thinks. She just asked Liu Jinde to find a way to build a stone table for her in the yard.

The basic outline of the first floor of the house in the yard has been completed. According to Liu Jinde, the second floor will be completed in about half a month. By then, the sealing layer and the roof will be covered, and then the waterproof layer will be tested.

Gu Tongwan’s building materials include a batch of materials that are resistant to strong acid corrosion. Even Liu Jinde had to sigh that this was the first time he had seen such exquisite materials. Even when he participated in the construction of the research institute building, he had never seen such good materials used there.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Liu Jinde worked very hard because he had only been carrying bricks at the construction site before and had not built a house seriously for a long time.

"Brother Liu, I may not be able to come here often in the next few days, so I'd like to trouble you to keep an eye on the progress for me during this period."

"Don't worry. I can't say anything else, but the people in Xiaoxi Village will never cut corners when doing their work."

Gu Tongwan smiled and turned to ask Yu Liang, "Is it on the sixth of next month? Will 18,000 points be deducted every month?"

Yu Liang nodded. "Yes, but I suggest that you can make the installment period longer. In this way, the pressure every month will be relatively less."

Gu Tongwan shook his head and declined. "The longer the installment, the greater the pressure. Let's leave it at that for now. When I have more money in the future, I will find a way to pay it off in one lump sum. By the way, I want to ask Brother Liang about a place. Do you know where this place is? I went to the commercial street today and I can't seem to find this store."

The note I handed over had the name of the shop I had met with a man selling wooden ornaments and tableware last night. I specifically called the man before going out at noon today, but unfortunately I couldn't find the place after walking around.

Yu Liang saw the address above and said, "It is indeed near the commercial street, but it is not in the main street area. It is a relatively deep alley. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to find it. How about this, I will take you there later."

Fortunately, Yu Liang is very familiar with the inner circle and often takes customers to see houses. He is considered a know-it-all when it comes to the small streets and alleys here.

Quyang was somewhat bored as he drove away several mutant flies the size of his fingertips in front of him. He couldn't help but mutter, "It seems that the insect repellent at home is almost used up. I'll go to the next door to buy a few packs. Yingzi, can you watch the store for me for a while?"

Liu Ying, who was wiping a wooden chair, looked up at her husband who had an unhappy look on his face. She knew that he was feeling annoyed because the store had not been open for several days. He said he was going to buy anthelmintics, but she was probably just thinking about going to a store along the street to buy a pack of loose cigarettes and having a few puffs.

As a couple for many years, they saw through the situation but didn’t say anything. They just nodded and gave a few more instructions, “Go ahead. By the way, bring back two candies when you come back. Bao’er has been making a fuss for a few days and wants to eat some.”

Before leaving, Quyang couldn't help but look back at his wife's back as she bent over to wipe the floor, and his old father who was planing wood in the corner. He felt more and more sorry for the two of them.

It was he who insisted on opening this lumber store. Although he and his father had a skill, in the end times, food and clothing were a luxury. How could people have the leisure to spend extra money on decoration?

Although there is no shortage of wealthy people in the inner circle, they have discerning tastes. The things they want to create are time-consuming and labor-intensive. They pursue high-quality sandalwood and pear wood, which are simply impossible to find in the apocalypse. So the last order was at the beginning of the month, and he barely made more than 300 yuan in labor fees. But when he thought about having to pay rent and store rent at the end of the month, the two together would be almost 2,000 points. If he hadn't earned some money on the black market last night, he's afraid he wouldn't have been able to pay the rent for this month.

While walking on the road, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. Because it was "Boss Zhuo", he didn't react at that time until he heard the sound of a car horn. Then Zhuo Yang realized that an SUV was rolling down the window and a pair of beautiful eyes were looking at him.

"Is it Boss Guyang?"

Zhuoyang hesitated and did not step forward, his mind quickly searching for any information about this woman, but unfortunately he still had no clue.

After realizing that he was in disguise to talk to Gu Yang last night, Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "My friend and I asked for the price at your stall before, maybe you don't remember."

There were many people coming and going in the black market, so Qu Yang didn't suspect anything, so he asked, "Are you here to see me?"

Gu Tongwan nodded, "Yes, I want to go to your store and pick out some furniture. Is it convenient now?"

Hearing that there was a business coming to the store, Quyang's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly replied, "Oh, it's convenient, but the store is in the alley and the car may not be able to get in."

Yu Liang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, replied, "Miss Gu, I'll wait for you in the car. You can just go over and take a look."

When Gu Tongwan followed Zhuoyang into the lumber store, he realized why he couldn't find the place. He had to go through many twists and turns to enter the alley, and finally stopped at a small store that didn't even have a name.

As soon as I stepped into the store, I smelled the smell of wood and paint, and saw an elderly man squatting on the ground painting a coffee table.

Liu Ying, who was sitting in the store knitting a sweater, couldn't help but look up when she heard the noise and asked in a puzzled tone: "Did you forget something? Why did you come back so soon?"

Then I saw a young woman following behind my husband.

"I met this girl on the road and she wanted to buy furniture." Quyang explained.

Gu Tongwan looked around the store. It was no more than 20 square meters and was filled with various handmade tables, chairs and benches. There were also a few large wardrobes on one side and various tableware on the shelves on the other side. However, since wood is prone to rusting, it seems that the business here is not very good.

"Can I customize furniture here?" Gu Tongwan asked straight to the point.

Gu Yang nodded, "Of course it's possible, but it depends on what kind of furniture it is."

"I need a 1.5-meter dining table with four chairs, a -meter coffee table, a wooden sofa, a master chair, a five-layer wooden bookshelf and a wine cabinet, and a -meter desk for the guest room, and two -meter wooden beds. These are all for now. If you need anything else, I'll let you know."

Liu Ying was stunned listening to this. Since the store opened, although she occasionally met wealthy people who came to order furniture, they basically only wanted a table or a wooden bed. There were not many people who would buy a whole set like Gu Tongwan. She did some calculations in her mind. These were all handmade products, and if the cost of the wood was included, it would take tens of thousands of points to get them. "

In fact, Gu Tongwan didn't think about buying so much furniture at first, but when he thought about living in the base for a long time in the future, it would be too eye-catching if he rashly took out the leather sofa and a whole set of luxury furniture in the space. It would be better to find craftsmen in the base to make them, so that when the Zhang family or the proprietress come to visit in the future, it will not arouse suspicion.

"Well, Miss Gu, these things you mentioned are not something that can be prepared in a short time, and they are very expensive..."

Zhuoyang was not overwhelmed by the sudden large order. Although he was excited, he still explained the pros and cons to the other party.

"The other thing is time. Although we have some inventory at home, it will take time to prepare things like bookshelves, wine cabinets, and armchairs. We also need to ask suppliers for prices for the wood, but the final price may not be lower than this number."

Zhuoyang hesitated for a moment and wrote the number 3 towards Gu Tongwan.

Gu Tongwan nodded, "It doesn't matter. Good wood is scarce now, so the price is naturally rising. Let the boss inquire for me first. If it's confirmed, I can pay a part of the deposit, but I have to take delivery of the goods in about a month. What do you think?"

Liu Ying put down the yarn in her hand, walked to her husband and tugged at his sleeves. Seeing that her husband looked hesitant, the old man who was painting in the corner suddenly coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice, "The deposit is 10,000. This is the capital for purchasing bookshelves, wine cabinets and two large beds. As for the remaining balance, you can pay it back when the goods are delivered."

Zhuoyang looked at his old father in surprise, but he didn't expect that the old man was more insightful than him. Instead of hesitating, he might as well roll up his sleeves and do it.

Gu Tongwan did not hesitate and paid the last 10,000 points on the card neatly. After receiving the message on his phone that only 200 points were needed on the card, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had to find a way to make a fortune tonight.
