I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

Xia Yuanfang said: "I bought green leafy vegetables and fruits at the nearby supermarket, so you don't need to go so far. By the way, I saw a store near the Plaza Garden in the central district and wanted to rent it as a studio. The address will be sent to you. If you are free, how about checking out the location?"

Xia Chujian happily agreed, opened the door and went out.

It was still cold outside. Xia Chujian wore the moon-white coat that Xia Yuanfang made for her, and underneath was the nanomaterial one-piece body armor Zong Ruoan gave her.

He wears a hat with the fur of an alien animal on his head, a self-heating mask on his face, windproof glasses with a built-in display, and a quantum optical brain, and carries two tubes of low-grade nutrient solution.

Of course, the Killer 018 smart pistol that Ye Shijie gave her as a birthday gift, two bullet magazines, and a tactical dagger are all daily equipment for going out.

Xia Yuanfang sighed and shook his head in the room, thinking, other girls only go out with handbags, cosmetic bags and snacks, who is like her? Just bring some weapons of destruction..."

Seeing that he couldn't hear anything, Xia Chu quickly came to the elevator and waited for it to come up.

There was a ding, and the elevator door opened. Standing inside was Mr. Yu, the neighbor opposite her.

He was wearing sportswear, his body was steaming, his face was red, and there were beads of sweat rolling down his face.

He was holding the big black dog in his hand.

Xia Chujian smiled and greeted: "Hello, Mr. Yu, are you going to walk your dog?"

Mr. Yu smiled heartily: "Yes! Having a dog is troublesome! If you don't go downstairs for a walk every day, it will tear down the whole house!"

The dog bared its teeth at Xia Chujian, revealing its staggered canine teeth.

Xia Chujian thought to herself that it would be better for her Sixi puppy. Not only does it not need to be walked, but the house will not be broken down.

Looking at this black dog again, I dislike it even more.

But the dog owner was here, so she didn't want to be too obvious. She just said implicitly: "... Your dog must pay attention to the leash. If it accidentally escapes, it will be difficult to find it back."

Mr. Yu laughed and waved his hands and said, "No! No! My dog ​​knows the road. Even if it runs away, it will know how to go home!"

The dog took the opportunity to break free from the leash, snarled, pounced on Xia Chujian, and greeted her throat directly.

Mr. Yu broke into a cold sweat and shouted: "Black Dragon! No!"

When Xia Chu saw it, she was not afraid at all. She turned around gently and skillfully to avoid it, then raised her leg and kicked it hard. The big black dog that rushed towards him was kicked directly into the elevator and hung on the back wall. She acted seriously. Said: "What I mean is that it wants to bite people when it sees it. Once it escapes, it will most likely be beaten to death. - Like just now."

Mr. Yu was very embarrassed. While scolding the dog loudly, he apologized to Xia Chujian and said, "Miss Xia, I'm so sorry. He is usually very well-behaved. I don't know what happened today... He won't do it in the future. Definitely not..."

With that said, he finally pulled the dog out of the elevator.

The black dog that just showed its teeth and claws when it saw Xia Chujian was afraid of Xia Chujian, so it kept walking against the wall with its tail between its legs.

Mr. Yu asked again smoothly: "Miss Xia, do you want to go out for a run? It's very cold outside!"

Xia Chujian smiled, walked into the elevator, pressed down on the first floor, and said, "No, I'm going shopping with my friends."

"Shopping?! Shopping is great!" Mr. Yu patted his head, "My daughter knows how to study when she is alone at home every day. She is almost becoming a nerd. Why don't Miss Xia take my daughter to go shopping with her?"

Xia Chujian didn't answer. The elevator door slowly closed in front of her, and she didn't even look apologetic.

It's not that she hates the girl across from her, on the contrary, she has a pretty good impression of her.

But shopping is only fun if you go shopping with people you know.

And she and this neighbor were not familiar enough to go shopping together.

…

Xia Chujian took the inner city suspension train and arrived at the square garden in the central district of Mulan City.

She made an appointment with Ping Qiong to meet at the inner city floating train station near the commercial building in the Plaza Garden.

Because the two of them will first visit the commercial building that their aunt wants to rent, which will be her future studio.

When Xia Chu got off the bus, he saw Ping Qiong waiting at the station.

She came earlier.

Xia Chujian happily waved and ran to her side.

The two held hands and trotted against the cold wind until they arrived at the address Xia Yuanfang gave her.

This store is on the 17th floor of the building in the middle of the Plaza Garden in the central district.

The entire store is medium in size, not big but not small either, and the most important location is very hidden.

When Xia Chu met Ping Qiong, they looked at it like bounty hunters and felt that the security performance was very good.

It's at the innermost part of the corridor. As long as you hold the entrance, you'll be safe.

Push the door open and go in. There are three large compartments in front of you. They have not been decorated yet and still look like the former trading company.

At a glance, it was at least two hundred square meters.

If it is properly designed and decorated, the usable area can be even larger.

Outside the window, facing the musical fountain garden in the square garden.

In summer, the fountain moves and complements the dazzling flower beds around it, like a beautiful scene set in a painting.

The more Xia Chujian saw it, the more she liked it. She quickly contacted the number left by the landlord and asked him if the place was for sale.

Ping Qiong whispered: "Why buy? Isn't it good to rent? The rent is only five hundred yuan a month..."

"Also, this winter has been extremely cold and extremely dry. People say that this year's harvest will not be good. In many supermarkets and stores on the Star Network, the price of food has begun to rise. At first glance, although we made a little profit Money, but don’t spend it too fast…who knows how much food will go.”

Xia Chujian felt nervous and asked quickly: "Really? I've been studying questions at home this week and I don't have time to go to StarNet!"

Ping Qiong nodded and said: "I originally planned to save the money this time to buy a house for myself, but my mother said that the price of food has increased. There are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and everyone does not like the plastic taste of low-grade nutrient solution. So, I gave most of the money to my mother.”

Xia Chujian: "..."

She has not asked Pingqiong about her family situation, but she only knows roughly that her family has a relatively large population.

At this time, since Ping Qiong brought it up, Xia Chujian asked cautiously: "...How many younger brothers and sisters do you have? Do you need to eat so much money?"

Each of them made one million this time, and it will be even richer when they receive another two million from the hunting list.

As for the food in Mulan City, even if it is the most expensive kind all year round, the money can almost buy out the entire supermarket.

Ping Qiong was also familiar with Xia Chujian, so she no longer avoided taboos and directly spread her hands and said: "I am the eldest of ten children in my family, followed by eight younger sisters and one younger brother. My parents are not in good health and can only take care of themselves. I work part-time and take care of my younger brothers and sisters at home the rest of the time, so I earn a lot of money.”

Xia Chujian: "..."

This is a bit much.

But it’s not like eating as much as one million, right?

Ping Qiong said with a smile: "Besides eating, there are other expenses. The nine younger brothers and sisters have to wear clothes, buy daily necessities, the electricity bill at home, and the contacts with relatives and friends during the New Year and holidays. Money. Fortunately, I helped pay off the family’s mortgage this year. Otherwise, I’m afraid everyone would have to take low-grade nutritional solutions every day.”

Xia Chujian was silent for a while and said: "...Actually, low-level nutrient solution is completely enough to satisfy one's hunger, and its nutritional content is still balanced."

Xia Chujian had heard her aunt say before that although the Beichen Empire had such a large population base and many poor people, malnutrition and starvation were extremely rare. This was because of the great invention of nutrient solution.

Although the cost of this thing varies, even at the lowest level, the nutritional content is sufficient for the normal development of the human body.

Ping Qiong pretended to complain, but was actually proud, and said with a smile: "I can't help it. My younger siblings, as well as my parents, are not used to the taste of low-grade nutrient solution, and they are not It's useless for genetic evolvers to eat that stuff, so just buy them food..."

Xia Chujian said curiously: "But in the past, our team didn't make much money. How did your family eat?"

The little money their team earned at that time was actually not enough for Pingqiong's family to only eat food and not take nutrient solution.

Ping Qiong thought for a while, frowned and said, "That's right. I didn't earn much in the past. My parents both had serious jobs. Most of the time, we actually took nutritional solutions..."

After saying this, Ping Qiong figured it out herself, with a smug look on her face.

Xia Chujian hurriedly changed the topic and whispered: "By the way, didn't you say that the price of food will rise? When the price of food rises, the price of everything will rise. This place is so good, with a large flow of customers, as long as you stand by the window Hang a big LED sign next to it and you can see it from miles away!”

Ping Qiong was dubious.

At this time, news from the landlord came, and he replied to Xia Chujian: 80,000 yuan, no two prices.

Xia Chujian pretended to hesitate for a while, then bargained and said: 60,000, I can pay in cash. If it's more than 60,000, you may need a loan.

Of course the landlord is unwilling, but he really wants to sell it because the business in Mulan City has not been very good in recent years, and his house has been vacant on and off for almost two years.

I really don't want to continue.

So I bargained with Xia Chujian for a while, and finally negotiated with Xia Chujian for 70,000 yuan.

The two of them signed the contract first and then paid the deposit.

The remaining money will be paid when the government departments go to work after the New Year holiday and the two of them go to officially transfer the property.

Ping Qiong watched eagerly from the side. She really didn't expect that when she and Xia Chu met out for shopping, they bought a commercial house!

And it's not a price she can't afford.

After coming out of the commercial building with Xia Chujian, Ping Qiong quietly said to Xia Chujian: "Chujian, actually I also want to buy a house. I want to buy a small house in the newly built high-end apartment in the East District and live by myself... …”

"Isn't your home in the West District?"

"Well, my family used to be in the North District, in the same district as you. Later, after I became a bounty hunter, my family's conditions improved, and our family bought a house in the West District."

"The West End is so good, why move to the East End?"

"...The West District is nice, but there are...too many people at home. I want to have my own place." Ping Qiong said implicitly.

Xia Chujian understood that he wanted to move out of home.

Xia Chujian said: "If you really want to buy it, hurry up. When food prices increase across the board, everything will increase in price."

Pingqiong made up his mind: "Then I'd better buy a set myself."

Xia Chujian raised his hands in approval and said, "Sister Cai, this is a good idea! The community next to my home is a high-end furnished apartment in the East District. I think it is very good. Although it is not as good as the location in the West District, it is suitable for our class. As far as people are concerned, the East End is good enough.”

This is the second update. There will be an update at 05:00 in the evening.
