395 old house in mountain village

The wooden door is obviously a prison door that has been around for a long time. The carved lattices of the window are still there, and even the paint has fallen off.

The moment the wooden door was pushed open, a sprinkle of smoke and dust floated down the wooden door.

When Lao Yang and Hu Liu saw this, they quickly took a step back.

But Jerry seemed to have not noticed it at all, but instead looked at the scene inside the house with obsession.

The dark and worn Eight Immortals table, and two official hat chairs with missing arms and legs.

The light inside the house was dim and the ground was covered with dust.

The environment was like a disaster, but Jerry's heart became more and more excited as these scenes emerged.

Isn’t this the kind of old house he wants?

He walked to the Eight Immortals table and checked...

At this moment, Hu Liu, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his heart was in his throat.

He turned his head and looked at Lao Yang beside him, but Lao Yang shook at him.

He signaled him to be calm, obviously Lao Yang is very confident in his skills.

He was sure that the other party could not see the authenticity of the Eight Immortals Table.

At this time, Jerry lay on the Eight Immortals table and picked it up again to try the weight.

I took out my magnifying glass again to look at the patterns of the table and the wood texture exposed on the damaged areas.

She looks very professional...

As Hu Liu moved, his nerves became tighter and tighter.

However, Lao Yang on the other side had a look of disdain flashed across his face.

But in the end, it ended up being dull.

After a while, Jerry finally stood up.

Then I began to check the carved beams and painted buildings in the house, mainly wooden beams on the roof.

There are also some wood shapes on the eaves outside the house.

While checking, he also turned around and asked Lao Yang.

"Mr. Yang, can you explain to me the origin of this village?"

Old Yang was not afraid, and coughed dryly and cleared his throat.

"Ah? Hi, our village has been around for a long time."

"If you really want to talk about it, I have lived here since my great-great-great-grandfathers. It should have been four or five hundred years!"

"In my early years, the village had been raising silkworms and farming for a living."

"In recent years, young people have gone to the city to work, and only some elderly people stayed in the village."

"But, about ten years ago, a group of developers suddenly came to the village."

"It is said that we should build an ancient town in Jiangnan and engage in tourism development based on our village."

"The village naturally agreed, and then we signed a contract, and the developer was responsible for helping us renovate the old house."

"Then improve the environment in the village, create tourist attractions, and finally create an ancient town, and win-win cooperation..."

Old Yang talked and Hu Liu nodded frequently when he heard it.

"Well, I've heard of this. It seems that this kind of cultural and creative ancient town was very popular in the past few years."

Jerry also nodded, a real estate project that uses the gimmick of ancient towns to create cultural and tourism projects.

He has also seen many of them in the United States.

However, the town in front of me is obviously encountered some problems during its development.

"However, later, during the cooperation process, there were some problems with the developers' funds."

“So this project ended halfway…”

"Because of this, the village and the developer had a very unhappy quarrel."

"Later, we kept arguing with each other. The house was left here because it had not been repaired."

"Yesterday Hu Liu contacted me and asked us if we would sell the house."

"I know what you mean is to move the whole house away, and I also discussed it with other residents in the village."

"We have no objection to selling these old houses. As long as you offer a reasonable price, the villagers are willing to sell them."

What Lao Yang said is reasonable, and Jerry's eyebrows stretched out after hearing this.

"Well, then this house will not affect the lawsuit between you and the developer, right?"

"Don't worry about this, it will definitely not have any impact. The dispute between us and the developer is that they owe us the final payment for the project."

"I said I would renovate the house for us, but if the house is only renovated, they usually have no money."

"We can't go home now, and all the villagers can only rent houses outside."

"If you are willing to buy all this old house, we can just have the money to build a new house."

Lao Yang’s explanation can be said to be reasonable.

Jerry felt there was no problem.

While speaking, he had already inspected the yard and entered another yard.

Compared with the courtyard before, this courtyard is much newer.

Even traces of cement can be seen on the wall, which makes Jerry quite disliked.

"Mr. Yang, you old houses are not 100% old houses?"

Hu Liu couldn't help but feel panic when he heard Jerry's question.

But Old Yang was very calm and answered calmly.

"Hi! Mr. Jerry, our old houses have been passed down from our ancestors, and the youngest ones have been around for hundreds of years."

"The oldest one has been around for more than 300 years. After living there for such a long time, what house do you think can not be broken?"

"In the past, the villagers had no money, so they could only repair and live there."

"But later the developer came. In order to develop cultural and tourism projects, it strengthened and upgraded based on our old house."

"During this period, some modern construction materials will naturally be used."

"For example, cement reinforced concrete, and glass used on windows."

"If we didn't show up at all these modern things here, then we'd see a ghost!"

"After all, we can be considered living in the new century..."

When he said this, Jerry was also stunned.

But for a moment, he smiled.

Indeed, what Lao Yang said makes a lot of sense.

When has this been? Now it is the twenty-first century.

How could this world have a pure blood old building 100% three or four hundred years ago?

Even the Forbidden City and the old buildings with hundreds of years of history in Versailles are not repaired with a lot of modern materials?

For example, modern steel and cement, as well as glass, these basic materials are all used.

Not to mention this small mountain village with a history of hundreds of years.

If I really want to say that there is no trace of modern civilization in this village, that would be really suspicious.

After understanding this, Jerry was in a more comfortable mood.

Then I visited other yards and then came to those yards.

More or less, there will be traces of modern civilization.

Some use cement to paint the walls, and some use steel bars and load-bearing beams in the house.

Some houses even have the entire wall tiles replaced with modern burnt blue bricks.

But these modern materials, in Jerry's eyes, are acceptable.
