Space farmer girl: I hoarded food and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 77 77 Buying Land
"The branches are white and tender, and the leaves are dark green. Even in early summer, it is difficult to grow so well!" Zhou's eyes lit up when she saw the braised cabbage.

At this time of year, fresh vegetables are so rare.

Even their family rarely has access to vegetables.

"Haha, he looks really good." Shen Shuangshuang responded.

"You can accept these first and taste them. If you like them, I will send you some some other time."

Mrs. Zhou thanked her repeatedly and put the things away.

"By the way, is uncle here?" Shen Shuangshuang suddenly asked.

"Yes. I'll take you there!" Zhou said quickly.

"Yes. Thank you, auntie!"

Mrs. Zhou took Shen Shuangshuang to the main room.

Then he called his daughter to make some sugar water, and then called the village chief.

Not long after, the village chief came.

Hearing that Shen Shuangshuang had brought tofu again and extra vegetables, the village chief's face was full of smiles.

"Shuangshuang girl, I heard you were looking for me?" When he reached the door, the village chief spoke.

Shen Shuangshuang stood up quickly.

"Uncle!" shouted.

The village chief smiled and nodded, walked in and sat down on the stool.

He motioned for Shen Shuangshuang to sit down too.

Only then did Shen Shuangshuang sit down again.

"What do you want from me?" asked the village chief.

Shen Shuangshuang looked at the village chief with a smile.

"I want to ask my uncle's family to buy two pieces of land."

The village chief was taken aback.

"Buy land?" Somewhat surprised.

But it only took a moment for him to figure it out.

The Shen family had dug ginseng in the mountains before and then delivered tofu to Zuixian Tower in the town. They must have made some money on their hands.

For rural people, when buying property, their first choice is land.

But his family has no plans to sell the land.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled again when she saw the village chief's expression.

"I only bought the two pieces behind my house and can grow some vegetables next year."

"If my uncle is willing to do it, I will pay ten taels of silver for those two pieces of land." Shen Shuangshuang said.

She estimated that the total area of ​​the two pieces of land was less than one acre.

According to normal market conditions, the price of an acre of land, even if it is high-quality land, rarely exceeds eight taels.

She gave ten taels of silver, which was definitely a high price.

She has actually been thinking about buying land for a long time.

If she wanted to expand her scope further, she would have many more choices.

But in order to save trouble and avoid many subsequent troubles, she decided to come to the village chief's house to discuss it with the village chief.

After all, she bought the land to plant the seeds in her space so she could harvest more next year.

The seeds in her hands were not available in this era, or in Shangyang Town.

Choosing a place to plant close to home will make it easier for her to take care of her.

At the same time, you can also create some cover around the ground to prevent people from seeing or stealing the fruits.

The village chief looked stunned, thinking about the things the Shen family had given him recently, and felt tangled in his heart.

After a while, he finally said: "Why is it so expensive?"

"If your family really wants to buy it, just give us six taels of silver. I'll sell you the two pieces of land."

There are three orphans and a widowed mother in the Shen family. It would be too shameful for him to sell someone for ten taels of silver.

This girl spoke again. He had received so many benefits from others, so he would feel a little guilty if he didn't agree.

Fortunately, as far as the land is concerned, there is no harm in selling it to the Shen family.

At worst, he could just buy more when suitable land becomes available in the village.

Shen Shuangshuang looked happy.

"Six taels is too little. I'm very grateful that my uncle agreed to sell my land, but I can't let you suffer a loss."

"Okay, I'll give you eight taels."

"If you agree, I will go home and get the money."

The village chief was amused.

He was no longer polite to Shen Shuangshuang. "Okay!" He replied with a smile.

"You bring the money, and we will sign the deed. In two days, we will go to the Yamen to register."

At this point, the village chief no longer minded that Shen Shuangshuang came to him to buy land.

The thought that arose just now that he could never get too close to the Shen family in the future was gone.

Shen Shuangshuang responded.

Quickly bid farewell to the village chief and go home to collect money.

In fact, it is not really about going home to withdraw money, but a trip.

All her money is stored in space.Unfortunately, eight taels of silver is too much. Under normal circumstances, who would carry it with them personally?

After returning home, Shen Shuangshuang went back to his room and took out eight taels of silver from the space.

Then he wrapped it up in a cloth bag and returned to the village chief's house with the cloth bag.

After the village chief received the money, he readily made a contract with Shen Shuangshuang.

"From now on, those two pieces of land belong to your family."

"But it's almost the beginning of winter, and we can't plant anything now. You can clean it up when spring comes next year."

"You can ask your uncle and the others how to plant it then." After signing the deed, the village chief said to Shen Shuangshuang.

He was a little worried that this girl didn't know how to plant.

After all, neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law of the Shen family had ever been on the ground in the Li family before.

"Got it!" Shen Shuangshuang responded with a smile.

I thanked the village chief again before going home.

After returning home, Shen Shuangshuang picked up a basket of cowhide vegetables and two pieces of tofu and went to the Li family's main room.

At this time, Wang and Li Daya were both there.

Seeing Shen Shuangshuang coming, he quickly invited people in.

"Why did you send something again?"

"Oh, there are not only tofu, but also vegetables! Are these the vegetables grown in your backyard?!" Wang asked in surprise.

She had stayed at Shen's house for two days before, helping to go to the backyard and weed the vegetables in the field.

At that time, she felt that the vegetables were growing well, and she was worried that they would freeze to death.

Now it seems that instead of freezing to death, those vegetables are still growing.

"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang smiled and nodded.

"At noon today, I broke off some and fried it. I thought it tasted pretty good. So I gave some to you three families."

"Take it and try it. If you think it tastes good, I'll break some for you next time."

Wang quickly thanked him.

He praised Shen Shuangshuang several times.

Then he asked Li Daya to get the eggs and asked Shen Shuangshuang to take them back.

Shen Shuangshuang refused to take it, but Wang held him back.

In the end, he was forcibly given more than a dozen eggs.

On the way back, Shen Shuangshuang looked at the eggs in the basket and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth again and again.

The uncle’s family is worthy of deep friendship.

After returning home, Shen Shuangshuang did not go to Wang's house again.

Because Aunt Wang will come to work soon.

Shen Shuangshuang waited until today's tofu was finished before giving the things for the Wang family to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was also very surprised when she saw the braised vegetables. After rejecting it, she accepted Shen Shuangshuang's gift.

After Aunt Wang took the basket and some bean dregs away, she came back not long after with a basket of eggs.

Shen Shuangshuang: Well, she doesn’t have to go to town to buy eggs tomorrow.

The next day.

After breakfast, Shen Shuangshuang went to the backyard to get busy.

I stopped after breaking off two large baskets of cowhide vegetables.

Then put the cowhide vegetables and tofu onto the donkey cart and set off to the town to deliver the goods.

The back cook of Zuixianlou.

Shen Shuangshuang went to Zhao Shu, the purchasing manager, and introduced his own braised vegetables.

During this period, tofu was selling well in Zuixianlou. Zhao Shu had more contact with Shen Shuangshuang and almost became friends with Shen Shuangshuang.

"Fresh vegetables are rare at this time of year, so naturally we at Zuixianlou harvest them."
