Lao Xue was about to unload the car, but Yang Jing stopped him with a smile.

"Brother Xue, don't unload the truck for the time being, otherwise you will have to work hard later. After lunch, I'll find a car to load all these things and then send them out. You can't put them here anymore, so it's time to send them away."

Old Xue nodded when he heard this, and without saying anything, he returned to the house with Yang Jing.

Liu Dongmei had already brought up a few cold dishes in the room, and had all set up wine glasses, chopsticks, etc., and just waited for Yang Jing and the others to enter the room before she went to cook.

"Sister-in-law, stop busy, wash your hands and eat together." Yang Jing said to Liu Dongmei.

"It's okay, you guys eat first, I'll cook a few dishes, very soon."

Lao Xue said from the side: "No matter whether your sister-in-law is, she cooks very well. Last time you came, you didn't taste your sister-in-law's skills. This time, you have to let your sister-in-law make two dishes well. Come on, let's drink it first, your sister-in-law will be done in a while."

Lao Xue said this, and Yang Jing couldn't say anything else, so he sat in the seat.

"Brother Yang, what kind of wine is this?" Lao Xue asked in surprise when he saw the dark earthen pottery jar on the table.

"Haha, Brother Xue, you're so lucky this time. A friend of mine gave me a few jars of old wine, saying it was Erguotou made from the 1950s. During the Chinese New Year, I opened a jar and tasted it. The taste was, tsk..."

"Erguotou made in the fifties?" Old Xue's eyes lit up, "Oh, hey, I have to taste this wine today."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Brother Xue, let's make an agreement first. We can only have three or three taels of wine per person. If you don't want to be knocked down, you can drink more."

"Is this wine so exciting?" Lao Xue asked with some doubts.

"If you don't believe me, just try it!" Yang Jing smiled, "Anyway, during the Chinese New Year, my father and I drank three or three liang each other, and then we mixed some other wine, and ended up sleeping for an afternoon..."

Lao Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have enough food after I listen to someone's advice. This afternoon, our brothers will only have a cup of each one!"

As he said that, Lao Xue picked up the wine pickup, scooped a wine from the opened wine jar, carefully poured it into the cup, and then put the wine glass into the basin that had just been poured into hot water to heat it.

Put down the pickup and cover the jar. Then Lao Xue looked at the yellowed wine in the glass and said, "Tsk, this wine..." Lao Xue gestured with a thumbs up, "This wine is so fragrant. I won't change this wine even if I give me a bottle of Maotai! Come on, we two squeak one."

After taking a sip, Lao Xue sighed and said with emotion: "What a great wine. I, Lao Xue, have never drunk such a good wine in my life."

It was originally an old wine. When the hot water was scalded, the aroma of the wine was emitted, and the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

Even Liu Dongmei, who was cooking from the kitchen, smelled it, "This wine is so fragrant. I have never smelled such fragrant wine."

"Sister-in-law, hurry up, otherwise Brother Xue and I would drink all the wine." Yang Jing also shouted.

Lao Xue burst into laughter.

Liu Dongmei is indeed a good at handling housework. Yang Jing and Lao Xue didn't even drink half a glass of wine. Liu Dongmei had already prepared four hot dishes. Of course, Liu Dongmei also took one of the roasted chickens brought by Yang Jing and put them on a plate and served them.

After Liu Dongmei sat down, the three of them started drinking again.

What Yang Jing did not expect was that Liu Dongmei had a lot of alcohol, and after drinking a few sips of wine, her face did not change.

The three of them drank a glass of wine with laughter. Liu Dongmei wanted to pour another wine, but Yang Jing stopped it.

"Sister-in-law, please keep this wine and Brother Xue to drink it slowly. But it is best not to drink more than one glass at a time. This wine has great momentum, and it will make people sleep for an afternoon if you want to drink it. If you want to drink it, let's change to another bar."

Liu Dongmei was so kind that she got into the house. After a while, she walked out with two bottles of Xiangyang brand Erguotou.

"There is no good wine at home, so I'll just drink this one. They are all Erguotou, so I'm not afraid of wearing it."

"Yeah, just drink this!" Yang Jing said with a little surprise. Since he was a child, he has never drunk such Xiangyang brand Erguotou.

Putting the wine into the basin and hot, Yang Jing asked Lao Xue: "Brother Xue, you have been busy for a lot of work in the past three months! I see that the east wing is almost full."

Lao Xue nodded and said, "It's okay. If it weren't for the fact that there were several heavy snowfalls in Yanjing at the end of the year and I couldn't go out, I might have collected more. Anyway, the days ago were basically a week three rounds, and I had basically gone through one more waste purchase station in Yanjing City."

"Brother Xue, thank you for your hard work. Come on, I will respect you brother."

The two of them touched and took a sip of wine. Yang Jing put down the glass and asked, "Brother Xue, I came in a hurry last time and left in a hurry. Is the money I left for you enough?"

"Enough, enough! What can't be used!" Lao Xue burped, "Last time you left me with 30,000 yuan in cash, I haven't used it yet. Don't forget, I mainly go to the scrap purchase station to collect those things, which are calculated by pound. Most of these things are two or three cents per pound. I have collected about 7,000 pounds in the past three months, and I have only spent more than 2,000 yuan in total, and there is still more left."

"Well, there are the two small yellow croakers you left for me. I found a friend who worked in a gold shop and said that these two small yellow croakers were left by my ancestors. Although there was no invoice, they were finally exchanged for 90 yuan per gram, and a total of 90,000 yuan was exchanged. So, this money is more than enough, so you don't have to worry."

Hearing this, Yang Jing was completely relieved.

Lao Xue is now mainly dealing with scrap purchase stations, not collecting antiques. This money is enough for him to spend a long time.

"Brother Yang, I'm afraid I won't be able to do your job for long." After another sip of wine, Lao Xue said this sentence hesitantly. "When you came, I'm afraid I saw it. The place where I live is said to be demolished after spring. If it's demolished, your sister-in-law and I have to go out to find a house to live in. I'm afraid I can't do the job of collecting things for you."

"It's okay, Brother Xue, actually when I came this morning, I saw the workers who marked the lines and knew that you were about to demolish it. By the way, how did you and your sister-in-law choose? Should you change a house or do you have to get a demolition fee?"

Lao Xue said: "The government came to count the number of people a few years ago and asked me how to choose. I remember what you said to me before leaving last time, so I asked to change the building, plus the house next door, and try to change another storefront house for the added area."

Yang Jing nodded and said, "It's right for you to change it like this. If you have such a building and a store house in your hand, you and your sister-in-law shouldn't have to worry about the rest of your life. How much housing prices in Yanjing have risen in recent years, I believe you know best, Brother Xue, right?"

"That's right! The housing prices in Yanjing have risen so much in recent years. Your sister-in-law and his second uncle used to live in Fangzhuang. I remember that since 1984, Fangzhuang started counting the demolition households and land acquisition. It was not until the land acquisition was completed in 1991. The construction of Fangzhuang Community began to be built in 1992. It seems that the houses in Fangzhuang Community began to be pre-sold in 1986. At that time, the houses in Fangzhuang Community were divided into grades A, B, and C, 1700-1800 yuan/square meter, grade B, 1400-1500 yuan/square meter, and grade C, 700-800 yuan/square meter. Is the price of Dongmei?

Liu Dongmei nodded and said, "That's right, when the commercial housing in Fangzhuang Community was pre-sale to the public in 1986, it was this price. At that time, my second uncle was a relocated household and his family could get a house. However, my second uncle also had an unmarried young son, so my second uncle wanted to buy another one for my cousin, and the price at that time was this price."

Lao Xue patted his thigh and said, "Eight years ago, the best houses in Fangzhuang were only 1,700,81 square meters. Let's look at the current, at the end of last year, the average price of those houses that were originally Class C in Fangzhuang community had reached 3,800. It is said that the prices of those good houses have exceeded 6,000! The house price is rising, and I don't know when it will be. So after discussing with your sister-in-law, I decided to listen to what you said, "If you change to a new house, you will definitely not suffer any loss!"

What Lao Xue said is not nonsense. Yang Jing also knows a little about the housing prices in Yanjing.

When Fangzhuang was first built, in addition to state organs and major state-owned enterprises, a group of the richest people in Beijing also competed to buy Fangzhuang real estate. When the commercial housing in Fangzhuang community began to be pre-sale in 1986, the price was indeed as Lao Xue said just now, but in the second half of 1995, the best commercial housing in Fangzhuang community once reached a price of 7,000 yuan per square meter. The Longzhu Apartment, which was released in 1995, was a finely decorated export apartment, and the price reached a terrifying 2,000 US dollars per square meter.

To put it no exaggeration, the beginning of the entire Yanjing real estate industry started from Fangzhuang Community.

Although in the late 1990s, Fangzhuang Community suffered a drop in housing prices due to unreasonable housing layout, too small housing area, and too few parking spaces. The second phase of Fangguyuan, which was released in 1998, only about 6,000 yuan per square meter, far lower than the peak in 1996, it cannot be denied that Fangzhuang Community witnessed the rise of Yanjing real estate.

Lao Xue said, "Brother Yang, I don't want to continue to collect it for you because it's not my brother. This is really the case here. Once my two houses start to be demolished, I might have to move to Tong/County with your sister-in-law, and I will not be able to collect things for you by then."

Yang Jing said, "Brother Xue, this is okay. You have already collected a lot of them now. If you can't collect them in the future, it doesn't matter. Well, then from now on until your house starts to be demolished, you can collect as much as you can. We'll have dinner later, we load the car, and I'll tell you a place, and you can just send these things to that place. As for the remaining money, you can take it and treat it as you'll get the reward for collecting these things for me these days."

Upon hearing this, Lao Xue stood up suddenly, "Brother Yang, this is not enough. How much does it cost to collect these things? You can leave all the remaining money to me, I can't ask for it."
Chapter completed!
