Flustered, Freddy returned to the old house he had bought and did not meet up with Li Du again.
After finishing his cold beer, Li Du waved his hand and said, "Let's go back while it's still early."
Hans said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, let's stall this fella for a while."
Li Du said helplessly, "What's the point?"
Hans laughed loudly. "Of course it's the point, buddy. It's so hot, and there's no air conditioning in the house. Hiding in there is like hiding in a mouse hole. If we don't leave, he'll have to continue hiding in there and suffocate to death. "
Even in the afternoon, the sun was still blazing. The treasure hunters took off their clothes and drank cold drinks under the shade of the trees.
Staying in the dusty old house at this time was indeed a very suffocating thing. The heat was excruciating.
Li Du did not bother to use such petty tricks to deal with Freddy. It was meaningless, and he had never seen him as an opponent. He just felt that Freddy was a little scheming.
But now it seemed that Freddy's scheming was limited to this. He was a little clever, but lacked great wisdom.
Seeing that Hans still wanted to stay there leisurely, Li Du said, "Let's go back. Remember my plan? We need to find a place. "
Troy, who was beside him, heard this and asked curiously, "What plan?"
There was nothing to hide, so Li Du told him about what he had seen and heard about the old goods market.
Hearing this, Troy shook his head. "This is a loss, buddy. Why don't we rent a warehouse, put the old goods that can't be sold in there, sell them, and use the cash to dispose of the trash?"
Li Du said, "I'm too lazy to do that."
He did not explain that he wanted to connect to the old goods market business, because it was hard to say whether he could do it or not.
Godzilla tidied up the things in the house, even taking down the doors and windows, leaving behind an old house with four bare walls.
Li Du laughed when he saw this. "Buddy, don't bother, the doors and windows won't sell for much."
Godzilla said in a muffled voice, "Put it in an empty space, someone will be willing to take it."
Li Du laughed again. He did not expect Godzilla to support his idea the most.
The task of finding an empty space was given to Hans, who was the best at this kind of work.
The next day, Hans gave him a call and told him to get ready to pick a suitable piece of land.
When they met, Li Du got on his motorcycle and said, "You're fast."
Hans harrumphed. "Don't you know who I am?"
Li Du grinned. This guy's obsessive-compulsive disorder was to Li Du's liking. As long as he was given work, he could always complete it in the shortest time possible.
The first site that Hans found was at the edge of the city, not far from Pine Tree Tops. It was the warehouse of a bankrupt factory.
"The advantage is that it's highly enclosed and close to where you live. So when you're done with your work, you can go home quickly," Hans explained.
Li Du asked, "How much is the rent?"
"One hundred thousand a year."
Hearing this, Li Du shook his head. "No, it's too expensive. For 100,000 dollars, we can choose a piece of barren land and use colored steel tiles to build a new warehouse."
Hans waved his hand and said, "Then let's go take a look at the next territory."
The second place he chose was located in the eastern suburbs. It was very far from where they lived, and it would take half an hour to get there by motorcycle.
The surrounding scenery was very good. Green trees covered the hillside, and green grass grew everywhere. From time to time, people could be seen herding cattle and sheep here.
Li Du said, "Isn't it too far?"
Hans said, "But I bet that you'll like it here."
He stopped at the edge of a deserted farm, pointed to the back and said, "It's here."
The farm was located next to a hillside, and the wildflowers on the hillside were in full bloom. The morning sun shone, and the farm was bathed in the gentle light of the sun. It was really a beautiful scene.
Li Du was surprised. "Really? You're going to start a farm? "
Hans shrugged. "This farm is deserted. The previous owner was a fool. He didn't know anything about farming. He used a lot of fertilizer and carbamide, and the soil quality was ruined."
The farm could not grow crops, so it had nothing to do with barren land.
Li Du walked to the door and looked in. The land was bare, and even weeds were rare. It was lifeless, as if it was isolated from the outside world that was full of life.
"How much is the rent?"
"Eighty thousand a year," Hans said. "This is a small farm, only 40 hectares, but it's enough for us, right?"
Li Du said reluctantly, "It's not bad, but it's too far from where we live."
Hans said, "Isn't that easy? We can just move here and rent the house. "
"Eighty thousand doesn't include the house?" Li Du asked.
"Of course, to rent the house, it'll cost another eighty thousand a year," Hans said.
Li Du shook his head. "That's too expensive. Is the owner crazy? Eighty thousand a year for rent? Then two years of rent would be enough to buy a country house here, right? "
Hans said, "Come on, buddy. Buying a country house for 160,000? This is Flagstaff! "
Although Flagstaff was a small city, it was located in the northern part of Arizona, which was relatively hot in the southern part of the state. The summer temperatures here were lower, so it was very popular.
In addition, Flagstaff was next to the Grand Canyon National Forest Park. The environment was beautiful, and the pace of life was slow. It was a wealthy area in Arizona, and the price of a country house was very high.
The house that Li Du rented was 800 a month. In Phoenix, this price would be enough to rent a good second bedroom, but in Flagstaff, it was the same price. Flagstaff was a place for retirement and vacation.
In addition, Hans explained that the eighty thousand dollars was not only for the villa, but also for the other houses on the farm, such as the warehouse, the grain storage tanks, the gym, and so on.
Li Du couldn't accept the price of 160,000 a year. It was better for him to share the house with Rose. Not only was it cheaper, but he could also look at her legs in stockings from time to time.
After looking at two more places, Li Du was still not satisfied. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "Forget it, let's go back and discuss it. We'll just choose one."
Hans put on his helmet and said, "Don't worry, there's another good place we haven't seen yet. You might like it this time."
The motorcycle continued to drive northwest, in the direction of the national forest park. After driving for a while, a large piece of farmland appeared on both sides of the road, and a few horse carriages appeared on the road.
Looking at the slow moving horse carriage, Li Du asked, "This is the Amish's territory?"
Hans nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Du wanted to ask more about this conservative tribe, but Hans slowed down and stopped the motorcycle. After passing through a small forest, a piece of land surrounded by barbed wire appeared in front of them.
"This is the place?"
Hans stopped the car. "Yes, the environment is not bad. I think you'll like it here."
This piece of land was located in the middle of a forest, as if someone had opened it up in the forest. The environment was quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
However, Li Du looked at the map and realized that this place was very close to Hoffman Town, so he didn't have to worry about treasure hunters from the old goods market coming here.
Unfortunately, this was just a piece of land surrounded by barbed wire. There were no houses, and life was inconvenient.
