The number of garden houses in Xuhui District is the largest in Shanghai. These various high-end garden houses are one of the most distinctive models in Xuhui. Garden houses have gone through several stages such as private property, state-owned assets, cultural revolution 'confiscation', and policy implementation.

, not many of the original owners are still alive, and those with inheritance relationships are scattered around.

Most property rights still belong to the government, but the right to use them belongs to government agencies, institutions, and ordinary residents. The property rights relationship is extremely complicated. Fortunately, for the two garden houses in Wawa's hands, the property rights are clear and negotiable.

As you can imagine, the transfer of ownership of these two bungalows in Wawa was quite difficult at that time.

"Developer?" Fang Monan frowned slightly, "This is to renovate the old city, demolish large areas, and build a modern commercial center."

"Yes!" Cheng Shixi nodded. "Commercial building, business building, office building."

Fang Monan looked at the water boiling on the 'red clay stove' on the rattan table, and stood up to make Kung Fu tea. Cheng Shixi didn't bother him, just watched quietly, this quiet space, the warmth of the sun

Shine it on a recognized body, giving you a warm and rare enjoyment.

Fang Monan gave Cheng Shixi a cup of tea. He held the tea cup and took a sip. He looked up at him and said, "As a tourist, what do you hope to see when you come to Shanghai?" I don't know if it will work, but Fang Monan didn't know if it would work.

Murnane really doesn't want those beautiful bungalows to be demolished and built into the same, cold high-rise buildings. "Reinforced concrete forest, modern commercial atmosphere."[

"How is it possible? Are these rarely seen abroad?" Cheng Shixi curled his lips.

Fang Monan smiled and said, "Cities that are developing at a rapid pace are undergoing earth-shaking changes. High-rise buildings have replaced bungalows as the mainstream of urban architecture. The bustling city has washed away the peace and comfort of the old days. Under the pressure of earth, machinery and steel and concrete,

Next, people bid farewell to small courtyards and stay away from alleys. The fast pace of life makes the memories of the past become more and more blurred. The bright new-style houses,

Are high-rise buildings the essence of living in this city?" She continued. "The various alleys and lanes extending in all directions are the real essence of this city, and the most classic residential lanes in Shanghai are a mixture of small

The kind of bungalows and alleys that exude a classic and quiet atmosphere can make people get lost at any corner. This is the heart and soul of its culture."

Cheng Shixi put his hands on the wicker chair, "What you said should be that people will return to their original nature after experiencing prosperity. What a pity! Do you think they will listen to what you say now?"

Fang Monan then asked, "Didn't you encounter any resistance to the demolition?"

"Yes, but not many. Some people even couldn't wait to sell their houses to us. Most people still like modern buildings!" Cheng Shixi picked up the tea cup with two fingers and took a sip of tea. "Good tea! Sweet and refreshing."

Fang Monan held the teacup in his hand and said slowly, "

Even though the old bungalow is in decay, it still looks like the ladies and ladies of the past. In it, you can still find their elegant figures of the past. The spiraling staircase is carefully crafted; the fireplace standing quietly in the corner of the living room

, witnessed the changes in history

The cast-iron flower railings were still overlooking the lush and withered "French plane trees" on the quiet road." She paused, leaving him with rich imagination space, "high and steep red tile roofs, ornately decorated gables and

wooden loggia, corner tower, roof ridge

It is a German Renaissance architectural style with wooden structures for small towers and cantilevered buildings; it has bright colors on the exterior, a gentle roof slope, a Spanish architectural style with spiral columns on the door, and a large garden area; classical style is the main architectural style.

Elements mostly use the semicircular arches of ancient Rome, thick stone walls, thick horizontal eaves, Italian Renaissance architectural style that emphasizes the stability of the building, and even Greek and Arabic styles. You can find them in old bungalows scattered everywhere.

Take your seat right in front of you."

Cheng Shixi unfolded his imagination along with her description, and took a quiet moment to recall the elegant figure of the past. The strong style of old Shanghai came to his face, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned. "What the doll said is beautiful, those old bungalows are important in aesthetics and architecture."

, simply too beautiful, but now most of them are dilapidated. The once glorious and gorgeous old garden houses have turned into old houses that are beautiful on the outside but decayed on the inside. Renovating old houses is an extremely huge project, and the government simply cannot afford that much.

Spend more money to repair and maintain it." He put down the tea cup and tapped the handrail with his fingers, "The government is eager to demolish it and rebuild it, and the area we are developing is not a cultural relic protection unit."

"The two bungalows you have are very beautiful. Zhiqian must have put a lot of effort into repairing them and completely retaining the original style of the bungalows." He paused and continued, "But it is difficult to make money back by relying on rent."

"Who said that?" Han Zhiqian opened the door, heard his last words, and walked in unhurriedly.

"Zhiqian, you are here too." Cheng Shixi stood up with a surprised look on his face. As he spoke, the two of them spread their arms, hugged each other affectionately, and patted each other on the back.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law live next door. They won't be back for the New Year." The two separated and sat on the wicker chairs.

"Oh!" Cheng Shixi suddenly said, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

"You've been here for a few months and you can't tell, right?" Han Zhiqian said with a raised eyebrow.

Cheng Shixi frowned and thought about the large-scale renovation and construction projects in the old urban areas of several key cities he had visited. "Things are rare and valuable."

Fang Monan raised his eyes to look at his watch and said with a smile, "You guys chat, I'll go down and cook. If there's anything else, I'll talk about it after lunch."

Han Zhiqian smacked his lips and said, "I want to eat pickled fish."

"Okay!" Fang Monan nodded, looked at Cheng Shixi and said, "What about you?"

"You cook?" Cheng Shixi pointed at her and murmured in his mind, can it be eaten?

Of course Han Zhiqian knew what he was thinking? "Leave him alone, Ah Xi is very easy to raise. What do you do and what does he eat?" [

"You guys chat." Fang Monan turned around and left.

After Fang Monan left, Cheng Shixi wondered, "Can the food she cooked be eaten?"

Han Zhiqian rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are lucky to be able to eat the food she cooked." He waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about this anymore, you are here because of the real estate!"

"Yes!" Cheng Shixi shrugged and spread his hands, "It seems difficult to handle. I seem to have been persuaded by her. I feel that demolishing them is a crime against history."

"Forgetting history means betrayal." Han Zhiqian said seriously. He studied political economy and it seems that China is currently undergoing reconstruction. It does not seem that from the perspective of history, they are blindly denying the past.

"It makes sense." Cheng Shixi frowned, "But we are businessmen, and pursuing profit is the most important thing!"

"Lee! You know about antiques!" Han Zhiqian said patiently, "Old bungalows are the 'antiques' of real estate, the longer they are, the higher their value will be!"

Cheng Shixi nodded, "Hey! Wait, I see that the bungalow you decorated does not look like it is for private stays. It looks like a specialty store."

"That's right! The rent is high this way! You can make quick profits, and you can also earn a lot of maintenance fees!" Han Zhiqian said.

“When it comes to maintenance costs, it’s really unaffordable. It’s as old as before, and modern facilities have to be added. Water, electricity, gas pipelines and meters, and repairs on the exterior walls have to be hired by professionals to keep the facilities in the house as they are.

We also try to keep it as it is, and there are usually precious flowers and trees in the garden that are old and require professional care." Cheng Shixi counted on his fingers, "No wonder the government can't afford it."

"No matter how good our idea is! We can't stop it... if someone wants to..." Cheng Shixi frowned in a frown.

"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.

"Aqian, dinner is ready." Xiaomei opened the door and stood at the door and said.

"Let's go! Let's talk after dinner!" Han Zhiqian stood up and said.

Cheng Shixi followed Han Zhiqian and his wife down the mountain and walked towards the big kitchen. Fortunately, the restaurant is big enough and can be used for dining. If there were many people in the past few days, they would carry big bowls, serve food, or sit down

Eat at the dining table or squat on the floor.

Another dining table was set up in the restaurant with the same meals. This way, eating separately can make the patient's family more relaxed.

When Cheng Shixi arrived, Fang Monan introduced both parties. When Mr. Lin heard his name, he asked, "What is your relationship with Cheng Shigui?"

Cheng Shixi sat there, "Agui is my third uncle's child, and we are cousins."

"Oh! It turns out he is Agui's cousin! Then he is one of us." Grandma said with a smile.

"Oh! Then don't be polite and let's eat!" Mr. Lin said with a smile.

Cheng Shixi looked at them in surprise. He thought they were going to interrogate him! It seemed that Agui and Wawa had a really close relationship. He stopped thinking and looked at the dishes on the table. They were really rich in color, fragrance and alluring aroma.

It stimulated his taste buds. He watched Han Zhiqian serve his wife diligently, carefully picking out the fish bones and sandwiching the food. The corner of his mouth twitched, when did Ah Qian become a new good man, and he looked at them in surprise.

Han Zhiqian felt his gaze, "Why are you looking at me! Eat quickly! Otherwise it will be gone in a while." [

"Oh!" Cheng Shixi took a bite of pickled fish, which Han Zhiqian specially ordered, and put it in his mouth, "Yeah!" The fish meat is tender and tender, the soup is sour and delicious, slightly spicy but not greasy, and the fish fillet is tender and smooth. "It's delicious.

!What kind of fish is this made of?"

"Made from grass carp, a freshwater fish caught in the reservoir of this farm." Han Zhiqian said with a smile. "As for the benefits of grass carp, let Nan Nan introduce it to you."

"Grass carp!" Fang Monan put down his chopsticks and said, "It tastes sweet, warm in nature, poisonous, enters the liver and stomach meridian; it has the functions of warming the stomach and harmonizing the middle, calming the liver yang, dispelling wind, treating paralysis, intercepting malaria, and benefiting the intestines.

It has the effect of eyesight; it mainly treats fatigue, wind deficiency and headache, hyperactivity of liver yang, high blood pressure, headache, and chronic malaria." She paused and said, "In short, it is rich in nutrition and delicious!"

Mr. Lin raised his eyebrows, "How come Ah Xi has never eaten grass carp?" The others also pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"Yes! I eat sea fish. There is a lot of seafood. Freshwater fish are rarely eaten." Cheng Shixi swallowed the fish in his mouth and said elegantly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote.
