Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 568
When the heat of summer prevailed, the Sun family completely split up, and Sun Xique and his brothers moved out of Sun Pei's yard and set up their own family.I heard that a man planned to sell his field and settle down in the town.

In the past few days, Guan Wu was busy going to the lotus pond to catch fish for the restaurants in the town, so he didn't notice this matter.Xing'er paid attention to this matter, and took a moment to discuss it with Li Xin.

"I want to buy two acres of land." Xing'er hugged Xiao Geng'er, with sweat dripping from her forehead, the weather was really too hot, "There is only sandy land at home, and I can't grow other food. It would be great if there were paddy fields." , grow some by myself every year, and eat the rice grown by myself..."

Li Xin nodded and said: "If you want to buy it, it's easy. It just so happens that the Sun family has released the news, so it's not bad to ask about the price."

Xing'er said, "Because it belongs to the Sun family's field, so I feel a little awkward."

Xing'er hesitated for a while and said: "The money saved at home is about 20 taels. This is what Ah Wu and his eldest brother and sister-in-law have worked together over the past year, especially the lotus pond. He takes care of it very carefully. He turned his stomach. Fortunately, he also has experience in raising fish..."

Xing'er looked at Li Xin and said, "The average price of an acre of paddy fields is about ten taels, and two mu is two to thirty taels. It's nothing to buy Sun's land, I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to ask for a high price..."

Li Xin said with a smile: "When you buy land, you should not only look at the fertile soil, but also compare the harvests of previous years, right? I don't think they will ask for extravagant prices, after all, they are in a hurry to move to the town. If they ask for a high price, You just turn around and leave. You don’t have to buy their land to buy land.”

Li Xin said: "It's the same as you usually go shopping. If you want to bargain, don't show how interested you are in what you want to buy, or how reluctant you are. People who sell things see that you can't put it down, they will definitely not concession."

Xing'er said: "I understand the truth."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll call Ah Wu to ask about it tomorrow... Hey, that person is still Ah Wu's former brother-in-law..."

Li Xin laughed and said, "That was before, aren't they all strangers now? He's going to buy land, not to do anything."

Xing'er nodded, although she was still not very relieved, but she didn't think too much - after all, she was living with Guan Wu now, and she was the one who gave birth to his son.She knew that Guan Wu hated the Sun family deeply.

On the second day, Xing'er and Guan Wu went to the Sun's family to inquire about the price, and Li Xin took over Guan Wu's job and asked Feng Defa to invite the two long-term laborers hired by the family to help him take care of the beehives to go to the lotus pond together. Fishing.

A few large wooden barrels were put aside, and Feng Defa and the others were shirtless, holding large nets and fishing down for fish.

The net hole of the net is relatively large, so that it will not catch small fish.

The fish that were picked up were put into the wooden barrels placed next to them.

The school is on holiday today, and Yang'er and Xiaokang also gathered around to watch the excitement.

Not only the two of them, but many children from Hehua Village gathered around to see what was new.

Although the Guan family’s lotus pond has been doing fish farming for more than a year, and the money made makes people’s eyes red, but the villagers still dare not try to dig the lotus pond to learn how the Guan family raises fish, for fear of offending He killed the lotus god, and let the people in the family drown in retribution.

Sun Hongyan has a vision for development and wants to start the fish farming industry, but unfortunately Guan Wen is not very willing, and the villagers don't understand it very well, so his plan is only in the making.

Li Xin looked at the lotus pond glistening in the clear water and the clusters of lotus flowers, and suddenly felt extremely refreshed.Looking at the scenery of the lotus village from the roof of the back room at home, this season is the time when "the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun". Lotus Flower Village.

Feng Defa walked towards Li Xin and said, "Sister-in-law Guan, I just counted and caught more than 500 fish today."

Li Xin did a careful calculation and found that the price of fish is relatively low now. A fish weighing three to four catties can be sold for about [-] Wen, and five hundred fish is only five taels of silver.

Li Xin nodded, looked at the sun, and said: "Take advantage of this time to transport it to the town. Brother Guan has already said hello. Be careful not to forget to add running water to the bucket on the way. It’s a small hole, plugged with a cork, when the time comes to release the cork, a trickle will flow out, and then add running water, so that the fish will still be alive and kicking when they arrive in the town.”

Feng De laughed and said: "Sister-in-law Guan, don't worry, these things are done well, and there will be no mistakes."

Li Xin nodded, smiled and sent Feng De to send the fish to the town, followed by a group of children bouncing around in the car, Xiaokang and Yang'er followed to send the car on the road.

Back home, Xiaobi greeted her and said to Li Xin, "Sister Xin, Xiao Geng'er just fell asleep."

"Well, just sleep."

Li Xin went into the main room to drink some water, said a few words to Xiaobi, Guan Wu and Xing'er came back.

Xing'er had a faint smile on her face, while Guan Wu had a dark face. After saying hello to Li Xin, she went to the mountains, saying that she was going to chop some firewood and come back to dry it in the hot weather. Bundle up and save for winter.

Li Xin looked at Xing'er with a smile and said, "Look at your smiling face, but it's settled?"

Xing'er nodded, and said: "Sun Xique's brother is really a naughty one. He eats soft but not hard. Before Ah Wu opened his mouth, he was still showing off his power. He opened his mouth and asked for 20 taels per mu. I pulled Ah Wu and left. We can't talk about it." I didn’t want to talk to him. As a result, Ah Wu stood still and said, ‘Tell me, how many taels is an acre?’ This made Sun Xique’s brother tremble in fright, and said 12 taels tremblingly.”

Xing'er covered her lips and smiled: "I still bargained with him, saying that his paddy field doesn't have a high yield, the location is not that good, and irrigation is not convenient, so I cut the price down to 11 taels."

Li Xin asked, "Then have you gone through all the formalities?"

"Not yet, let Ah Wu do it tomorrow."

Speaking of Guan Wu, Li Xin was rather curious: "Why is the second brother not looking very happy when he comes back?"

Xing'er smiled and said, "He just went to meet the Sun family, how could he be happy? When he went, his face was dark, and when he came back, his face was even darker."

Li Xin said happily: "He did it in the sun."

Feng De shipped the fish back and handed over the money to Li Xin, and took the long-term worker to the stone field to see the progress of the granary.Now that the foundation has been laid, the upward revision has begun.

Guan Wu Xing'er's purchase of land made Li Xin feel a little ready to move.

You know, people live in this world, eat and drink.She doesn't have lofty wishes and ideals in her life. She has enough food and clothing, and doesn't have too many worries. She just wants to be happy.So if you can be a landowner, keep your own land, eat the food produced in your own land, and have no worries about food and drink, this is the most ideal.

Who told her to be a village girl?

The idea took root in his mind, and when Guan Wen came back, Li Xin couldn't wait to tell him, "The original one-acre paddy field at home is not enough, so tomorrow you can go to Sun Hongyan's and ask if there is anyone else To sell the land."

Guan Wen hesitated for a moment, and asked Li Xin, "I really want to buy it? But there is no one at home to take care of me."

"Isn't it enough to hire someone to serve you?" Li Xin smiled and said, "We have two long-term workers in our family. Brother Feng and the second younger brother can usually help out. When the farming is busy, we can hire a few more short-term workers."

Guan Wen thought about it for a while, and said, "Success, if you want to buy it, I won't go to town tomorrow, and I'll ask you for it."

Li Xin nodded and held Guan Wen's arm excitedly: "When we buy the land and plant it, the granary on the stone field is almost finished, and the first batch of new rice can be put into the granary... ..."

Guan Wen smiled, nodded her pretty nose and said, "You think in the long run."

Guan Wen pulled Li Xin to sit aside, and asked her: "Do you have a charter for buying the land? How much land can you accept, how many acres you want to buy, and whether there are any requirements for the location of the land... All these must be considered. A field is like a house, and it cannot be moved.”

Li Xin nodded and said, "I know, so I'll let you ask first, and then we'll figure it out after we're done."

Guan Wen then agreed.

The next day, Guan Wu and Xing'er went to find Sun Xique and her brother went to Lizheng to change the name of the land deed, while Guan Wen went to find Sun Hongyan and asked who in the village wanted to sell the land.

Guan Wu's affairs went smoothly, and he got two acres of good paddy fields as he wished.It's just that Sun Xique's brother said that this year's autumn harvest, the millet is still his, and the output of the field after the autumn harvest belongs to Guan Wu and the others.Guan Wu and Xing'er didn't care either, they didn't intend to take advantage of this.

Guan Wen's situation was a bit unsatisfactory, and he came back and said to Li Xin: "There are people in the village who want to sell fields, but they are all selling small plots, and no one is willing to sell large plots. I asked the place. , scattered scattered in the village, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to take care of them in the future.

Li Xin closed the house with Guan Wen yesterday, took out the savings at home, dug up the 30 taels of silver that Axiu had left with her, and dug up the banknotes in the Tongjiang bank left by Mr. Wei's chief escort to Yang Er. Excluding Li Xin's private house of nearly a hundred taels of silver that he had privately hidden, all the money he and Guan Wen earned during this period added up to more than 700 taels of silver.

Of course, most of it was Li Xin's profits from the skin care products from Shen's residence.

As early as a few months ago, Li Xin approached Mrs. Shen and said that she was at the end of her rope and could no longer help Mrs. Shen develop new skin care products.Mrs. Shen is not an idiot either, so she naturally understood that Li Xin wanted to get out, so she kept a few words and followed what Li Xin said before agreeing - after all, as long as the Shen family is willing to spend money to hire people for this kind of thing, research is not a problem .

In order to thank Li Xin, Mrs. Shen still promised her that she would still give her monthly dividends.

Li Xin didn't ask about the specific percentage, but he could still get about 100 taels from Mrs. Shen every month, which was sent by people from the Shen residence.

Li Xin also thought of some ideas, wrote them down and entrusted the money giver to Mrs. Shen, she no longer participated in the production of skin care products.

As for whether Mrs. Shen uses these ideas...that's beyond her consideration.

More than 700 taels of silver, with more than 200 taels left, Li Xin plans to spend 500 taels to buy paddy fields.

Not just paddy fields, but also lotus ponds.

She wants to have fields and ponds, grow rice and raise fish. After all, Hehua Village has such geographical conditions.

Based on the price of 12 taels per mu of paddy fields and 500 taels per mu of lotus ponds, [-] taels can still buy a large area.

Li Xin looked at Guan Wen with anticipation in his eyes.
