Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 300 300 What a Big Land
Li Changhui quickly distributed the food to everyone, and everyone was almost the same.

His hands are very steady, and his control over the quantity and weight is also very precise. He is sorting out what they want to take home, and the rest just happens to be finished by everyone, and there is exactly nothing left.

Regarding this point, not to mention other people, even Lin He admired it very much.

Haggis soup can only be served. Originally, for the convenience of eating, I bought big bowls. All the meals were packed in the bowls. If you squat anywhere, you can directly cook the rice.

Right now, I can take the haggis soup home. Of course, Lin He also said that if you don't want to go back, you can eat here, and you can work together when other people come.

After all, if you go home, it may take a while longer.

Steamed buns and roast lamb are more convenient, wrapped in soaked and washed dried lotus leaves, and then tied with straw, perfect.

After sharing everyone's food, the two of them went back with their things. When they came back to their place of residence, they happened to pass by Heyuan Street, handed their things to Xie's concierge, and went back without waiting.

When we got home, the haggis soup and steamed buns were still hot, so we didn't bother to reheat them. The two chatted while eating.

The conversation was mainly about continuing to buy land.

The vines are about to be transplanted, and the furniture for the new home is almost ready. In one month, we can move.

By this time, it was almost March.

"If you don't buy any more, the season for planting corn and sorghum will be missed. In April, you will have to plant sweet potatoes."

Lin He was thinking about the things in the field. Although there was a lot of food brought in, it was a long journey after all. If he didn't plant it early, he would not be able to eat fresh food next year.

Naturally, Li Changhui would not object, and then the two discussed which places to buy.

There are also the two mountains mentioned yesterday. In the territory of Da'an Dynasty, all mountains, rivers, lakes and seas belong to the court. Whether it is farming or building houses, they need to pay taxes if they generate income.

If they want to buy a mountain, they will naturally not do anything else.

The two chatted while eating, and Lin He talked about the shaved roast leg of lamb, either because they were too greedy, or because they simply thought it was interesting to chew on the bones.

"If you look at it this way, the area to buy is quite a lot. Simply buy the two mountains, including the surrounding area of ​​[-] meters, and the wasteland that goes all the way to the vineyard."

At this time, Li Changhui had already taken the pen and paper from the room, and lightly sketched a few times on the rice paper with a charcoal pen. Suddenly, a simple figure of the mountain appeared, and the place he said was circled.

Lin He was very surprised: "What a clear map, this is the angle we saw on the top of the mountain yesterday, Brother Hui, you are too good, you can even draw maps!"

Lin He was surprised, and Li Changhui was also surprised. Unexpectedly, Lin He could tell at a glance, from what angle the topographic map was drawn.

It's just that his surprise was well hidden and he didn't show it.

"Look, do you want to buy these places?"

Li Changhui pointed.

Looking down with his fingers, he has already pictured the two mountains, together with all the surrounding conditions, in his mind.

On a piece of paper, it is only the size of a few fingers, but the area corresponding to the suburbs is not a small area.

Lin He clicked his tongue twice in his heart: "I'm afraid it will cost several thousand taels of silver."

Those two mountains are not high, but they are very big. In the far part of the suburbs, those two mountains are the closest and the shortest, but the two mountains with the largest dimensions.

At least after running on the mountain for a long time yesterday, Lin He only took a fancy to those two hills, and nothing else was suitable for her to raise cattle and sheep.

"It's about three to four thousand taels of silver." Li Changhui quickly estimated the price, after all, he just bought a dozen acres of land not long ago.

"Okay, let's buy it!"

Lin He made a final decision.

"I'm going to buy today, and then continue to recruit people to work. Taking advantage of the recent coolness, we must set up the pigpen and chicken coops early, otherwise when the weather gets hotter, it will be inconvenient to transport livestock and poultry, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke."

No matter how fast it takes to build a pigsty and chicken coop, it will take almost a month, especially if the pigsty has to dig a cesspit.

But Li Changhui said: "It's okay, when all the vines are delivered, let Changqiang send all the half-grown piglets at home, as well as four or five-month-old chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, etc., first."

Lin He was puzzled: "Why did you get here so early? There is no place to close it."

"Directly in the wasteland or on the mountain, first use a fence to surround it, and build two sheds to keep out the rain. In the first year of this year, you don't need to raise too much for the time being, and you will breed slowly in the future."

"The piglets at home are a hybrid of domestic pigs and wild boars. The pigpens have to be built higher. Can the fence be closed?"

"It's okay, didn't you send the little piglets first? When it can't be closed, the pigpen will be covered."

When Lin He thought about it, it was indeed such a rationale.

It takes a long time to transport livestock, and it is safer to send them here earlier while it is cooler now.

So the matter was settled, and Lin He went to get the bank notes. Speaking of which, Li Changqiang also brought their big money box for them.

To be precise, except for the hidden wine, everything in Yonghe Town's house was sent by Li Changqiang.

The box was locked all the time, and the outside was still covered with a layer of iron, so when it was being carried, the sound of clanging and bumping inside could not be heard clearly.

There is also a lock on the outside of the iron sheet, the key is with Lin He, and a red string is hung around his neck, which he carries with him, even when he takes a bath, he rarely takes it off.

I opened the lock, thought for a while, and counted 5000 taels of banknotes, with different denominations, so it was convenient to hand over the money.

In addition, I grabbed two or three taels of silver from the earthen vat that usually put broken silver and copper plates, and packed them in small lotuses I bought.

This scrap of silver can be used to give gifts to officials who handle affairs. It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and it is convenient to spread some money.

Li Changhui took the money and asked Lin He if he wanted to go with him, but Lin He yawned and became tired.

"I won't go. I'll take a nap. When you buy the land, I have to work in the field tomorrow, or I won't sleep well at night."

While speaking, Lin He narrowed his eyes.

Li Changhui nodded seriously, and he could tell that Lin He seemed to be able to sleep well at night only when he was tired.

So Li Changhui went out alone.

There is a lot of mountain land to buy this time, and it is estimated that it will not be finished in a while. Before leaving, I took another bag of copper coins.

Buying wasteland and barren hills requires one more procedure than buying other people’s good land. It is necessary to send government servants to measure the area of ​​the land to be purchased, and then to confirm the purchase deed and silver taels and obtain the title deed.

The speed at which the yamen servants work determines when they can get the title deed, especially in such a large area.

At this time, a handful of copper coins can solve many unnecessary problems.
