Chapter 60
Lianzi got off the carriage and got into the ground.

The land is indeed barren, full of dry weeds.Since weeds can grow, it means that there will be no fruitless harvest.

Looking carefully, Lianzi found that the soil of these ten acres of land was relatively sticky, and this area was mainly planted with peanuts.If we grow peanuts, the yield will definitely be very low. If we grow sweet potatoes, corn and other drought-tolerant crops, it should be completely fine.

At that time, plant a few crops of sweet potatoes and soybeans first, and then improve the problem of sticky soil.This Lijiatun village is closer to the town than Liujiazhuang. It will be very convenient if we grow vegetables in the future.

Therefore, Lianzi decided to buy it.

"Uncle, what's the price of your land?" Lianzi asked.

The man was very surprised to see Liu Jingren bringing a baby girl to buy land, but now he was even more surprised to see the baby girl asking for the price.But he still replied: "Three taels of silver per mu."

According to the current land price, the third-level land is about three taels of silver per mu, but it is obvious that no one cares about the land in front of me. As for the price, of course it can't be three taels per mu.

"Oh", Lianzi said, "Is that so?" Then he looked at Liu Jingren and said, "Father, isn't the second-grade land we looked at that day also worth three taels of silver per mu?"

Liu Jingren understood what Lianzi meant, nodded and said, "Yes."

Hearing this, the man immediately laughed and said: "The price is easy to talk about, easy to talk about, brother, if you think three taels of silver is a bit much, how about two taels of silver?"

He said three taels, but it was only based on the general price of a third-level land.But his land has not been sold for more than half a year, so it can be seen that three taels of silver is definitely not enough.

Liu Jingren looked around again, but didn't speak again.

"The second-grade land I saw that day was only three taels of silver, and the family was eager to sell it. If it wasn't only six acres, my family would have bought it." Lianzi said to the man like gossiping.

The price of secondary land is generally five or six taels of silver per mu. If the land is not particularly good and you are in a hurry to sell the land, three taels of silver is entirely possible.

Lianzi said again: "It just so happens that my family wants to buy ten acres." She tilted her head, pretending to be thinking hard, and suddenly said, "Buy the six acres of second-level land, and then buy your four acres of third-level land." , that would be just fine."

She pretended to be jumping with joy at having come up with this brilliant idea.

The man who wants to sell the land is full of black lines. He has ten acres. If the ten acres are sold together, they can't be sold. If they are taken apart, no one will come to buy it.

"How about this, can we make two, two, five and one mu?" He asked again.

What Lianzi was waiting for was his words, but it was not enough.

The general third-level land sells for three taels of silver per mu, and his ten-acre third-level land can definitely be lowered.

Liu Jingren still didn't speak, he simply walked over and bowed his head, sat down, took out the dry tobacco bag from his waist, and smoked.

The man was a little impatient, whether to buy it or not.

When he was panicking, he heard Lianzi say again: "If it's two taels of silver per mu, maybe I can still consider it."

"Lianzi!" Liu Jingren interrupted her, with a displeased look on his face.

Lianzi glanced at her father secretly, and praised him in her heart, he is really getting more and more intelligent.

But she still looked pitiful and said to the man: "My father disagrees."

Two taels of silver per mu is indeed a bit low, but it's better than not being able to sell it and wasting it for nothing.Besides, it's just two taels of silver, and this person is not very happy about it.

"Brother, I think you really want this land. How about this? Let's not talk about it anymore. It's only two taels of silver per mu, and ten mu of land is 20 taels. It can't be cheaper." He bowed his head to the sitting Liu Jingren, who was smoking a cigarette, said.

Liu Jingren didn't raise his eyes to look at him, but took a puff on the cigarette holder and said, "If nothing grows, what's the use of being cheap?"

The man was choked, but immediately said: "Brother, you are very kind, I am sure you will not grow nothing."

Of course it doesn't grow nothing, it's just that it looks very shabby.

Liu Jingren finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, knocked the cigarette pot on the stone at his feet, and said: "If the ten acres of land are cultivated, I will buy it."

Looking at Lianzi's expression just now, he already knew that this piece of land could be bought.If you can't buy it, then Lianzi will definitely object.

"Yes, Uncle, we really want to buy land." Lianzi echoed.

The man thought about it, and finally nodded: "OK."

Anyway, his family raises long-term laborers, and it only takes ten acres of land. For him, there is no loss at all.

"Okay, then it's settled." Liu Jingren stood up now.

He patted the dirt on his buttocks, and said again: "It's just that I was in a hurry to go out, and I didn't plan to buy it so soon, and I didn't bring much money with me." Liu Jingren said, touching his pocket, "Only five taels. Otherwise, first give you the five taels as a deposit, and after the land is plowed, send the remaining 15 taels, do you think it will work?"

How can I not make it, as long as he is willing to buy it, then it will be fine.

"Okay, no problem, we can trust big brother." There was a bright smile on his face instantly.

"And, there is one more condition." Lianzi said again.

The man looked down at her and said, "Sister, please tell me."

"You see, our family is not on this farm. After the crops are planted, there is no guarantee that no one will come to steal things. Therefore, you have to take care of us from time to time. If something happens, you should also notify us in time. " Lianzi said.

This girl doll is so smart, why are there so many demands?The man became impatient.

But no matter how impatient you are, you can't ruin the deal you just negotiated, so you can only nod your head in agreement.

"That's good, we can rest assured." She said happily.

I originally planned that even if I bought the worst third-grade land, it would cost 30 taels of silver for ten mu, but I didn't expect to save ten taels by doing this.The soil fertility is indeed a little poor, and it is definitely not possible to grow peanuts, but if you do a little trimming, you can grow sweet potatoes, sticks, soybeans, etc., to ensure high yields.

Therefore, the ten mu of land I bought was really not a disadvantage at all, and the ten taels of silver saved could just be used to buy horses.

The matter was considered settled, and the land transaction was considered completed when the land was plowed, Liu Jingren paid the money, and then went to the village chief to obtain the documents.

The three of them got into the carriage together and returned to Lijiatun.

Liu Jingren and Lianzi sat down and drank a cup of tea, then got up to leave.

After returning home, Liu Jingren told Yang about the news that he had just bought ten acres of third-grade land.However, Mrs. Yang is still very worried. It has been almost a year and no one has bought the land. It is said that the crops will not be harvested.What if we can't get any food by then?Isn't that 20 taels of silver for nothing?

"Mother, don't worry," Lianzi comforted her, "With your daughter in charge, can you be wrong?"

Yang Shi was amused by her words, stretched out his index finger and tapped her forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, there must be a daughter-in-law!"

But I have to admit that although Lianzi is young, she really hasn't made any mistakes.It seems that the book can indeed teach people a lot. If she is a boy, she will definitely learn the things in the book.

Lianzi told her parents about buying a horse, and Yang nodded in agreement. Although Liu Jingren didn't say anything, as long as Yang agreed, he never had any reason to object.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival, Liu Jingren and Lianzi went to deliver preserved fruit to shopkeeper Zhang's shop early in the morning.

Originally, Lianzi didn't plan to go, but she was really worried about the restaurant, so she just went over to take a look to see if there was anything wrong.

After delivering the preserved fruit, Liu Jingren drove to the restaurant.

When shopkeeper Dong saw them coming, he hurriedly moved out a plaque for Lianzi to see.

The three characters "Fujulai" in the letter were exactly Ning Qing's inscription.

"I believe that with this plaque, it will definitely add a lot of glory." Shopkeeper Dong smiled happily.

"Yeah," Lianzi nodded, "cover it with a red cloth and uncover it on the opening day, so it's very festive."

Lianzi said, and looked around again.Now it seems that it is neat and tidy, and there is no mess at all.

"Oh, by the way," Lianzi suddenly remembered, "Have you contacted the suppliers of the ingredients?"

Shopkeeper Dong nodded and said, "It's almost done. The suppliers of aquatic products and meat have been found, but the vegetables are still not enough according to the estimate."

The amount of vegetables used is much larger than that of meat, and it is not easy to store, so we must check it carefully.

Lianzi glanced at Liu Jingren, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, and said to shopkeeper Dong, "Shopkeeper, I recommend someone to you, you can see if you can make it."

"Who?"

"My family met some time ago when we were selling dim sum at the market. His name is Hu Yongcheng, and he lives in the outskirts of the city. His family has a few acres of vegetable land, and he will go to the market to sell vegetables every time there is a market," Lianzi said. Hu Yongcheng is an honest man, and he is quite knowledgeable in growing vegetables. It should be the best to recommend him to Shopkeeper Dong.

Shopkeeper Dong frowned and pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and asked, "How about the vegetables he grows?"

"It's needless to say, if it's not good, I won't recommend it to the shopkeeper." Lianzi smiled, "His vegetables are not only fresh, but the more clever thing is that he can grow vegetables that are out of season. "

Lianzi's demeanor of offering treasures made shopkeeper Dong nod repeatedly.

"For example, leeks, we all know that leeks are only available in summer, and autumn is the latest, but his family sells leeks in this season."

Shopkeeper Dong seemed a little moved, but he still asked uncertainly, "Really?"

"Of course." Lianzi nodded emphatically, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you the day after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow will be the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and it will be the market festival, so Hu Yongcheng must go to sell vegetables.

Seeing what Lianzi said was serious, shopkeeper Dong decided to take a look.If he can really grow leeks in winter, it will be another strong point of competition for the restaurant.

"Okay, let's go and have a look the day after tomorrow. If it succeeds, we can have a good talk with him." Shopkeeper Dong said.

 Double update, the second update at 14:00 p.m., please bookmark.These days are too busy, as long as I have free time, I will definitely come back to catch bugs.
