Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 674 I fell in love with this place instantly
A child was chasing and running, and when he saw the carriage coming in, a child shouted: "Where are the guests? Are you going to buy fruit?"

Fang Xiaofu listened to the questioning of the children outside, his heart was moved, and he fell in love with this place instantly.

Perhaps it is because fruit merchants often come to buy goods, so the children in the village have long been used to it, and have learned a set of rhetoric for welcoming guests.

But just now, the group of children didn't swarm up, let alone yelling and soliciting customers to go home, but a voice asked, "Where do you want to go to buy fruit?"

What a polite and self-controlled inquiry, without any selfishness, ignorance, or rudeness.

"Let's go to Dongtou Wang's house to see Zhuangzi." Ge Changxing replied with a smile, not ignoring them just because the questioner was a child.

"Grandpa Wang is not at home today. They went to the county town to visit relatives. I'm afraid they won't be able to make it back until sunset." Immediately another clear and clear child's voice answered.

"It's okay, let's just watch it today, and then visit them after we're done."

"It turns out that Mr. Ge is here. Do you have lunch in the village at noon?" An old woman walked over from the side of the field with a bamboo basket on her back and a bundle of fine firewood under her arm. When she saw Ge Changxing, she greeted Ge Changxing immediately.

"No, Aunt Chen, you are busy, we will go back to the city after we finish watching." Ge Changxing greeted with a smile.

Along the way, several farmers met and greeted him. It seems that he is very popular here.

Fang Xiaofu remembered that when Brother Ge talked about the situation here, he said that the helpers were mainly people from the nearby Huaguofan, with a simple background and not many bad people.

Now it seems that the comprehensive environment here is still reliable.

It didn't take long to reach the grounds of the master's house. Fang Xiaofu jumped out of the carriage and looked around, and saw rice and watermelons planted not far away.

The rice is still green and yellow, and it will take a month or two to harvest, but it's time for the watermelons to go on the market, but why haven't they been picked yet?The weather has been good recently, and the watermelon should be a good harvest.

"Xiao Qi'er, do you want to go to the mountain to see?" Fang Xiaofu was wondering, Ge Changxing came over and asked, "The apples and pears are already showing their size, and they are still edible."

"No, since the master's house is not here, let's just take a look." Fang Xiaofu quickly refused, not because he didn't like apples, but because he didn't dare to climb mountains.

If she is lucky and wears it back again, should she cry or laugh?It would be great if I could pack her boy together and take her away...

"By the way, Brother Ge, how many years have those fruit trees been planted?" Fang Xiaofu suddenly thought of a question.

I heard that fruit trees also have age differences. The most prosperous fruit-producing time is one to 20 years. It is unreliable to be too young or too old.

Look at the swaying light and shadow on the hillside in the distance, and the appearance of fruitful fruits. If it is in the peak season, it will make money. If it has entered the age of retirement, it will have to cultivate new seedlings as substitutes.

"I'm not sure, it must have been more than ten years. I heard that the Wang family has been planting fruit trees for three generations, and the fourth generation has finally produced someone who can read. We are all waiting for this scholar to change his family in high school."

Ge Changxing chuckled and explained disapprovingly.Although it is indeed something to be proud of to have a promising scholar in the family, it would be a bit outrageous to abandon the ancestral business and wait for the prosperity.

Because the master's house was not there, they just looked around, and they confirmed Ge Changxing's previous information on the spot, so they decided to go back soon.

Although the scenery here is really good, it is the kind of pastoral style suitable for seclusion.But it doesn't belong to them yet, so I won't make more comments.

Before returning home, Ge Changxing picked two large watermelons in the field, went into the village to find the nearest acquaintance, and everyone borrowed the toilet, washed their hands, and cut watermelons to eat.

However, so many of them only ate one watermelon, and the remaining one was put in the Fang family's carriage and belonged to them.When he was leaving, Ge Changxing took a tael of silver to the host's aunt, saying that it was for the two watermelons in Wang's field.

In fact, he can also throw the money at the watermelon picking place, and write a note or something.But doing so is always a bit of a cloud, it is more reliable to ask the neighbors to collect it directly.

What's more, many neighbors in the nearby villages have helped the Wang family.They are not servants or long-term workers, but they are paid to hire them to work for a few days when they are needed when they are busy, and they return to their original positions after the work is finished.

Of course, there are also people who have been taking care of the fruit trees in Wang's house for a long time, watering, fertilizing, catching insects and so on.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Fang Xiaofu felt that the return journey was very fast, and she hadn't finished drawing a picture of riding a horse, and the carriage was almost at the south gate.

"Don't stop, Xiao Qier, keep drawing, I haven't drawn yet." Zhao Junrui waited for a long time but still didn't see himself appearing in the painting, so he couldn't help urging anxiously.

"Let's draw when we get back, I guarantee you." Fang Xiaofu put down the portfolio, and asked his elder brother to go out early to drive the car instead of his uncle, and don't change it until he reaches the gate of the city.

Fang Zhizhong went to Ge Changxing's carriage. When they entered the city, they had to go straight to the county government office to complete the transfer procedures, while Fang Xiaofu and the others went straight back to Bieyuan.

But for Zhao Junrui's safety, Ge Changxing made a big detour and sent them to Bieyuan before going to the county government office.

Last night, Fang Xiaofu divided the handbag and cake recipe money he received this time at 8 taels and gave them to his uncle. He agreed to buy whichever he decided to buy after looking at two places today.

And her final opinion is that the one to the west of the city is very close, although it is a bit expensive, but the land is good and the yield is high, and it is not bad to buy it to store grain.

One month later, the land will be freed to see what can be planted. It is best to just connect to next year's rice, so as not to waste this good land that cost more than 2 taels.

As for the [-] mu of new land, she also plans to plant wheat, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and potatoes for a year, which are easy to manage and not delicate crops, to see how the new land has potential.

As for Huaguofan, if they can reach an agreement, they will all grow rapeseed.

In the future, when there are more fields, it doesn’t need to be a hodgepodge of all kinds, and all of them will be planted with the same crops, and some short-term gain crops will be planted between harvesting and sowing.

If all three lands were bought this time, it would be approximately 500 taels of silver, but Fang Xiaofu wanted to negotiate for the fruit on the mountain at a price of 1000 taels.

If you can't agree, then don't give up, and then cut off the price of 500 taels, the reason is that these fruit trees are too old and there is not much time to flourish.

Of course, if the Wang family can prove that those fruit trees still have ten years to "live", it's okay to give the 500 taels more.Anyway, Fang Xiaofu made these preparations.

She told her uncle about her thoughts on the way back, and he will arrange the rest.The rest of the money, apart from the fees for Brother Ge, is the initial operating cost.
