Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 161
With one thousand, six hundred taels of silver, if you go back to the countryside to buy land and live a comfortable life, you can become a real small landowner in no time.

Even if one acre of fertile land costs 600 taels of silver, [-] taels is enough to buy more than [-] acres.

Land of more than one hundred acres was the minimum criterion for becoming a landowner.

So we can only call them small landowners.

As for families like Wang Furen and Xu Zhenchang, who only have a dozen acres of land and assets of 300 taels of silver, they are still far from being landlords.At best they can be called rich peasants.

Even so, they are better than 99% of people.

As long as you manage your business safely and steadily, you will have no problem with food and clothing for the rest of your life.

Qin Niu has not yet decided how to use the one thousand, six hundred taels of silver.After going back, I must plan carefully, eat and drink, and spend them all in an extravagant manner, but I will definitely not do that.

At present, insect infestations are causing disasters, which can easily lead to famine, and the value of the fields will also be greatly affected.

It would be nice if the pest infestation could be stopped in the short term.

If it doesn't stop for a long time, the price of the land will be ridiculously low.

Qin Niu was ready to save more money. If the opportunity came, he wouldn't mind becoming a local landlord directly.Even if he doesn't reach the level of the Yan family, he can at least own more than a hundred acres of fertile land.

The carriage drove slowly on the road.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped.

"Master Qin, get off the car here! This is a token that the young family leader asked me to give you. If you encounter a big danger in the territory of the Black Tiger Gang, you can show this token. Unless the other party ignores our Fang family, Otherwise, you will be safe. Also, next time you go in and out of Fang's mansion, you can use this token to enter and exit freely without being interrogated."

Uncle Heizi handed him a rather heavy-handed silver token.

There are four characters written on it: Fang Jia Keqing.

Qin Niu's name is engraved on the back.

In addition, there are many strange patterns on the token.This may be similar to an anti-counterfeiting mark.

I feel like this token should be made of silver.

It is possible that other metals have been incorporated.

Mr. Fang silently made Qin Niu a guest of the Fang family without any discussion.

"Please thank Mr. Fang for your kindness on my behalf!"

What else could Qin Niu say?

After receiving it, keep the token close to your body.

"Take care! Don't mention your visit to Fang's house to anyone! Just go out in this direction."

After Uncle Heizi said hello, he drove the carriage and sped away.

This old man may seem ordinary, but it is certainly not easy for him to be reused and trusted by the young master of the Fang family.

Qin Niu has the Fang family's guest token, which is equivalent to being protected by the Fang family.

The safety factor in Black Tiger City will also be greatly improved in the future.

As for being in the countryside, even the Yan family would never dare to touch him now.

Compared with a behemoth like the Fang family, the Yan family should be underwhelming.

He looked around and found himself in a narrow alley with high walls on both sides.

There are many wealthy families in the city, with large houses and large yards.

In order to protect privacy and safety, very high courtyard walls are basically built to isolate them from the outside world.

"I don't know where in the city this is? Go find Xiaoqing first, then buy some books and then rush back to Shuangfeng Village!"

Qin Niu kept walking forward in the direction Uncle Heizi pointed just now.

The alley is not very long, and you can already see the main street when you go out.

"This...isn't this the inn where Xiaoqing lives?"

Qin Niu couldn't help but feel horrified. The Fang family had great eyes and hands in Black Tiger City, and his every move had long been under their surveillance.

Fortunately, the Fang family had no ill intentions, otherwise his little tricks would be of no use at all.

"Owner!"

Xiaoqing has long been looking forward to it.

He was afraid that Qin Niu would not want her and leave her alone in the city.

She was squatting at the door waiting alone. When she saw him appearing, she immediately rushed over with joy and hugged Qin Niu's waist like a baby.

"It's done. You take off the gift and I'll pay the bill. Go home."

"Yeah, I'll get it right away!"

She ran to the guest room on the second floor like flying.

After settling the bill, Qin Niu took the basket from Xiaoqing's hand.Thinking of something, he took out a few snacks from Fang Jiashun from his arms.

"You haven't had breakfast yet! I left a few pieces for you."

After Xiaoqing took it, he smelled it and suddenly swallowed his saliva with greed.

He took out a piece and looked at it.

"This snack must be very expensive, right? I saw such exquisite snacks selling for fifty or sixty cents per catty in other stores."

"When someone treats me to a meal, I really don't know the price."

Qin Niu just ate at that time, and the two beautiful maids served him very attentively. He really didn't think about the price of this snack.

"Hmm... It's so fragrant, soft and delicious. The food eaten by this wealthy family is just different. Thank you, Master."

She ate happily.

Following Qin Niu, his little eyes were looking around the street.Qin Niu took her to the book market to buy some books, filled half a basket with them, and carried them home.

Although these books are all hand-copied, they are just general knowledge and are off the street, so they are not expensive.

Although he now has more than 600 taels of silver, he still adheres to the principle of saving money when buying books.

Don’t buy new books if you have old ones.

After the master and servant left the city, Qin Niu led Xiaoqing and walked quickly forward.

Xiaoqing lowered her head and followed behind, biting her lip.

"Master... can you let me go and see my grandfather's grave? I just need to kowtow three times and leave. I won't waste too much of your time."

After all, she couldn't help but make this request.

"Isn't that where we're going?"

Qin Niu knew this.

"Oh, it seems to be true. Thank you, Master."

She looked at it and then smiled.

The master and servant came to the grave and the tombstone had been erected.

"This is the paper money for incense candles that I bought specially in the city. Come and burn it!"

Qin Niu took out the purchased worship items.

"Wow...you treat me so well!"

When Xiao Qing took the incense candle and paper money, she couldn't bear it anymore and was moved to tears.

"I have become your only support in this world. If I am not good to you, who will be good to you? Besides, your grandfather entrusted you to me before he died, so I naturally want to treat you well."

Qin Niu touched her head.

"Come on, the red candle has been lit. Just burn the paper money."

He lit the incense candle and placed it on the altar in front of the grave.

Xiaoqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and muttered a prayer for a while, not knowing what she said to her dead grandfather.

"All right!"

After she paid her respects, she glanced at the grave with some reluctance, and then left with Qin Niu.

It can be felt that she is obviously more attached and closer to Qin Niu.

Human beings are not just vegetation, she is also a person of flesh and blood.

Despite her young age, anyone who treats her sincerely can naturally feel it.

The two returned to Shuangfeng Village, still the same as before.

The only difference is that Qin Niu's home has undergone rapid changes.The two shabby mud houses were gone and turned into the grand mansion now.

The green bricks and green tiles look very delicate and beautiful.

Everything at home remains the same.

Even though he didn't go home last night, no one dared to step into his house.

The calf was still the same, sleeping soundly.

On the contrary, the little turtles newly raised in the fish pond have adapted to the new environment and are swimming or crawling around in the water.It is obviously a level three diamond ink turtle, but it is still so timid.

Hearing the noise, he was so frightened that he immediately lurked motionless at the bottom of the pool.

Qin Niu shook his head and smiled.

"Xiao Qing, go cut some wild boar and throw it into the fish pond."

"it is good!"

She agreed and went into the house to cut some King Pig meat and feed it to the Diamond Ink Turtle.

Qin Niu, however, hurried into the mountain with the basket on his back.

Arriving at the termite nest, the queen is still evolving.

The fourth child felt his breath and immediately climbed out of the nest.

Immediately, level three termites came out of the nest one after another.

They are all welcoming their masters.

Qin Niu put the few termites he had brought back to the nest.

"Master, you seem to have bugs on your body."

Lao Si reminded.

"insect?"

Qin Niu subconsciously checked his body.

Did an insect crawl on me when I entered the mountain just now?

There is such a possibility.

Because the mountains are full of bugs.

But he took off his coat and searched around but couldn't find it.

"Fourth, where are the bugs?"

Qin Niu asked Lao Si.
