Yuan Jiaoting and the others happily went back with the design drawings Shen Chi drew for them. After sending them away, Shen Chi started busy with his own affairs.
He brought the experimental materials back, intending to use the system equipment at home to complete the experimental steps of gene cultivation during the vacation.
I don't want to have too many things to do in several stores at the end of the year, so now Shen Chi finally has time to continue his experiments.
Shen Chi counted the days and found that it was almost half a month before school started. He could use this half month to cultivate a batch of new seeds.
The day passed in a hurry, and early the next morning, Shen Chi took the bankbook given to him by his father and the dividends sent by Xie Yuanchao, and went directly to the town to find Huang Dong and the others.
I planned to take them to finalize the house arrangement in the last few days before the year before last.
Business was very busy in the morning, so Shen Chi only asked them to do the peak business, and asked someone to help with other sporadic business.
The community developed by Chen Jianmin is only a few miles away from Song Town, right next to the town's high school. Several people soon came to the sales department.
Zhang Hao and Guo Xiaohui had scouted the house early in the morning and immediately paid the deposit to go through the formalities.
It was easy for Huang Dong to see that no one had bought the house across from Zhang Hao and the others, so he bought it directly and became neighbors.
When they had almost finished the formalities, when it was Shen Chi's turn, Guo Xiaohui said jokingly: "Big boss, why don't you just buy it upstairs from us and become neighbors with us."
"I didn't buy a house just for myself to live in." Shen Chi replied with a smile, and then said to the salesperson: "I have ordered thirty houses, as long as they are above the third floor, preferably in the same building. Can you help me choose them?" .”
"What?" Hearing that Shen Chi bought so many houses in one go, the salesperson thought he had heard wrong. Huang Dong and the others also looked at Shen Chi in shock. He would be talking nonsense from now on.
"I said I want to order thirty apartments, preferably together. You guys can see which building can meet my requirements." Shen Chi said again.
"Thirty sets cost a lot," the salesperson said blankly. "Do I need to pay a deposit now?" Shen Chi said with a slight frown.
"No, I'll take you to see the property right now, please come this way." The salesperson came to his senses and took Shen Chi to see the property diligently.
Guo Xiaohui asked dumbly: "Big boss, what are you buying so many houses for?" What? Of course, you are just waiting for the appreciation in value.
After being reborn, Shen Chi never thought about using his foresight to make a fortune in this era. He just wanted to use the system to live his own life peacefully.
But there is no reason not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth. If God does not take it, you will suffer the consequences.
That is to say, the real estate market has not started to be speculated yet, and the houses are sold as sets. When the real estate market booms in the future, there will no longer be such a benefit.
Shen Chi has a hunch that when Xie Kun's TV series is aired, Song Town's popularity will surge again, and the surrounding real estate will definitely be speculated within two years. Shen Chi will certainly take the opportunity to make a fortune right at his doorstep. It's about holding it firmly.
What's more, money stored in the bank will depreciate in a few years, so it's better to invest it. Shen Chi happened to have some spare money on hand, so he used it all to buy a house.
Shen Chi was very straightforward when looking at houses. He chose two buildings with good orientations and didn't ask for the ground floor or the top floor, but directly asked for the middle floor.
After choosing the floor, Shen Chi went directly to the bank in town with the salesperson to apply for the advance payment. By the way, Huang Dong and others were also involved.
Shen Chi had no time to waste on the remaining formalities, so he told Huang Dong to call his father when he went through the formalities.
Huang Dong obliged without hesitation.
When she went home in the afternoon, Shen Chi told her about buying a house. Gui Shuzhen almost fainted when she heard that Shen Chi had spent millions to buy 30 houses.
"You prodigal son, why did you buy so many houses?" Gui Shuzhen scolded.
"Of course we are waiting for appreciation. With the popularity of Songzhen, the surrounding houses will definitely become more and more valuable in the future. It is better to invest a little now than to leave it in the bank." Shen Chi replied
.
"Is that a little for you? That's all your property. You said you didn't discuss matters with your family about such a big child." Gui Shuzhen just wanted Shen Chi to return the money.
However, after so many years, Shen Changlin got to know Shen Chi quite well, so he said to Gui Shuzhen: "Please stop saying a few words. Xiao Chi has also seen people in the world, and he does things in a measured way.
He bought so many shops in the town before, haven't their values increased now? "
Shen Chi didn't expect his father to support him so much, so he said to him: "Dad, I have already explained it to Huang Dong and others. He will take you to complete the remaining procedures. He and Zhang Hao also bought a set each. .”
Shen Changlin nodded to express his understanding, and Shen Chi handed the bankbook to his father.
Huang Weijiang came in from outside just after finishing his work. When he heard Shen Chi saying that Huang Dong bought a house in the town, he asked in shock: "Did Xiaodong buy a house?"
"What? Are you trying to make some crooked idea again? "Shen Chi has never had a good impression of Huang Weijiang. If it weren't for Huang Dong, he would have liked the people in Xiaojia Village to beat him to death.
"No, I'm just curious where Xiaodong got so much money to buy a house." Huang Weijiang said angrily.
"You used all his money to gamble and lost. I lent him this money." Shen Chi said coldly.
Huang Weijiang smiled awkwardly and went out to work again.
When Fan Zhiguo heard about Shen Chi's purchase of a house, his thoughts became more vivid. He is now working at Shen Chi's villa and has not been back to his hometown for two years. Wenwen is used to studying here, so he discussed with his wife Tian Qiugui whether I also want to buy a house here and bring my parents over.
It's just that the couple couldn't raise the money for the house, so they had to borrow money from Shen Changlin. Since Shen Chi opened a farmer's supermarket, the sales of chicken, duck, fish and other products produced in the villa have increased several times compared with when he sold them by himself, and he really has a lot of money on hand. After discussing with Gui Shuzhen, they lent the money to Fan Zhiguo and his wife.
So the only thing left for Shen Chi to buy a house was that Shen Changlin and Fan Zhiguo ran in and out, and finally completed all the procedures before the year.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Chun's daughter-in-law Guixiang sent the store's account book to Shen Chi, and Liu Yuzhe and the others came with her.
"Are you afraid that I won't give you the bonus money? The thirty-year-old came here." Shen Chi said angrily when he saw a few people.
"Who said we are here to ask for money? We are here to celebrate the New Year at your house!" Zhang Cong also rolled his eyes at Shen Chi.
"Come to my house to celebrate the New Year?" Shen Chi was stunned, which song was he singing?
When I looked at them carefully, I realized that several of them had changed into new clothes for the New Year.
"It's different now than during the summer vacation. Director Xie and his crew also went home for the New Year holiday. You don't have a TV to shoot." Shen Chi explained in advance.
"Shen Chi, you mean you don't welcome us." Yang Ming said to Shen Chi.
In fact, Zhang Cong and the others couldn't explain why they came to Shen Chi's house to celebrate the New Year, but they just had something on their minds.
After spending a summer vacation here, several people fell in love with Lei Gongping.
Not to mention that Shen Chi had decorated Lei Gongping like a garden, with all kinds of flowers and plants vying for beauty, but the air and food here alone made them miss this place every time they recalled it.
"As long as you don't get bored," Shen Chi said to the four of them.
Since everyone is here, it’s hard to drive them away, so we have to keep them.
Mr. Hu was quite happy about the arrival of the four people. The old man liked the excitement. This year, Shen Chunzhi and Li Qingfeng took their daughters back to their in-laws' house to celebrate the New Year.
Shen Aizhi also took Shen Zhou back to his hometown with Lei Maolin and Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Hu was feeling that the large courtyard in Cezhuang was not lively, but the arrival of the four of them made Mrs. Hu feel much happier.
"Grandma, Shen Chi doesn't welcome us." As soon as he saw Mrs. Hu, Zhang Cong began to complain sweetly. "Welcome, who says we are not welcome." Mrs. Hu said with a smile: "Grandma, go tell Master Mo and let him Add some more dishes for lunch."
With that said, he headed to the kitchen.
Zhang Cong turned around and smiled proudly at Shen Chi.
Shen Chi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Fortunately, while Guixiang was present, Shen Chi and her calculated the supermarket's accounts for the past six months.
This is not unknown. Shen Chi was really shocked when he calculated that the income of the city's farmers' supermarkets in half a year has already caught up with the county's entire year's income.
Sensing Guixiang's hard work in helping her run the store, Shen Chi wrapped a big red envelope for her. At first she refused to accept it, but at Shen Chi's insistence, she gratefully accepted the red envelope and sent it away. Guixiang and Shen Chi distributed half of the profits to them in proportion to their previous investment.
Liu Yuzhe received the largest share, nine thousand. Followed by Zhang Cong, who also received seven thousand. Yang Ming and Wang Meng each received five thousand.
Liu Yuzhe and the others were shocked when they saw how much money they had been given, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. "Seven thousand dollars is equivalent to more than half a year's salary of my parents." Zhang Cong exclaimed. " After this, the money will be distributed more and more." Shen Chi said with a smile.
Because they would stay here for a few days, the money was temporarily given to Shen Chi for safekeeping. As soon as they arrived, they took Shen Chi to stroll around Leigongping.
"It's not like you haven't been here before. You can go shopping by yourself." Shen Chi was busy with experiments and didn't want to go. But Hu said, "People who come here are guests. Go shopping with Xiaozhe and the others. Don't neglect the guests." Shen Chi had no choice but to follow him out for a stroll.
Although it is the middle of winter, most of the flowers and plants on Lei Gongping have withered, but the cold-resistant plum blossoms and roses are in full bloom.
After several years of spiritual nourishment, those flowers and plants have long been different from ordinary ones. The plum trees have staggered branches and strong postures.
The roses grew even more densely and luxuriantly, forming a thick wall of flowers. Fan Zhiguo trimmed them into square shapes and decorated them with flowers of various colors. Walking into Lei Gongping, Wanru came to a world of exotic flowers and exotic herbs.
Zhang Cong said that people in his community said that the rural chickens in the store are delicious, so he must go to the chicken farm to see how Shen Chi's chickens are raised.
"You, a person who can't even tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings, why are you raising chickens?" Shen Chi said with disdain.
"Holy shit, this has become a stain that I can't wash away in my life. I just don't understand, so why should I watch more?" Zhang Cong retorted.
"Okay, why not? Can you tell the difference between a rooster and a hen?" Shen Chi teased Zhang Cong again. "Get out!" Zhang Cong gave Shen Chi a big roll of his eyes.
Others looked on with amusement.
The chicken farm is in the bamboo forest on the back side of the stone mountain. The side facing the villa is the vineyard.
Even though the mountains are covered with grape trellises, there are only six grapes in the entire vineyard.
After so many years of fertilization and spiritual nourishment, the grapevines have long since become lignified, and one plant is as thick as Zhang Cong's calf.
One grape plant covers several acres of land. Because pigs live freely under the grape trellis, the six grape plants in Shen Changlin are protected by fences built with stones.
This was the first time Liu Yuzhe saw such a thick grape. He said to Shen Chi: "Shen Chi, I think your place is very strange."
Shen Chi heard something in his heart but said calmly on the surface: "Why is it weird?"
"Not to mention the unique taste of the vegetables in your garden, your grapes growing into trees and your farm dogs as big as calves are enough to shock others." Liu Yuzhe said.
"The seven-color rose next to the reservoir when we came here also looks like a tree. I looked at it and found it was thicker than a duck egg." Zhang Cong added.
What Liu Yuzhe and the others said did make Shen Chi feel worried. The things on the farm that were nourished by spiritual energy and fertilization were indeed unusual, but this was something Shen Chi couldn't control.
So I could only pretend to be relaxed and said: "Whose grapes have been planted for five or six years and are not so thick? You are too rare and strange."
After saying that, he led Liu Yuzhe and the others through the vineyard and went directly to the bamboo forest at the back. The bamboo forest was larger, covering more than a hundred acres. In order to show Zhang Cong and the others how their chickens were raised, Shen Chi came from the chicken farm. A bag of corn was hauled out of the warehouse.
These warehouses were built by Shen Changlin later for the convenience of storing feed and feeding the chickens and ducks.
As soon as he blew his whistle, there was a flapping sound in the distance, and then the sound got louder and louder.
It became more and more intense, and soon a dark cloud came straight towards it.
"That...that's a chicken?!" Zhang Cong exclaimed.
"Holy shit, your chickens can actually fly!" Yang Ming said and hurriedly hid under the eaves.
Chickens all over the mountains and fields rushed out of the bamboos, and some even fluttered their wings and flew in the air, until Liu Yuzhe and the others' understanding was constantly subverted.
Shen Chi dragged the feed around and the chickens followed him wherever he went.
Wang Meng was interested, so he took over the job from Shen Chi and spread corn everywhere to feed the chickens, playing like a three-year-old child.
After feeding the chickens, Shen Chi took the four of them to the bamboo forest.
After several years of hard watering by Shen Chi, this bamboo forest has long taken shape, and the thick bamboos are green and green.
At this time, the winter bamboo shoots had sprouted, and Shen Chi took them back to break some bamboo shoots, planning to fry them for dinner at night.
"Your place is really a paradise." Liu Yuzhe felt the tranquility and peace on Lei Gongping and said with emotion.
"I have decided that I will come here during the winter and summer vacations." Zhang Cong announced loudly. "You can come, but don't forget to pay for food and accommodation." Shen Chi said with a smile.
"Try to say as little as possible to offend the scenery." Yang Ming rolled his eyes at Shen Chi and took Wang Meng to dig bamboo shoots elsewhere.
Liu Yuzhe also said to Zhang Cong: "Zhang Cong, let's go over there and dig." "Hey, did you hear what I said about paying the money?" Shen Chi shouted to them.
The four of them pretended not to hear, and the only response to Shen Chi was the rustling sounds from the bamboo forest...
