Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 106 The Orchid Seat
Meng Fansheng gave her a nod, and Lan Lingxue blushed a little. It's a bit ambiguous to tell an uncle that she is beautiful, haha.

"Uncle Meng, I haven't seen the chairs in your house yet, otherwise, I'll go up and admire them."

She also felt that she was a bit thick-skinned, Lan Lingxue hurriedly changed the subject,

"Okay, why not, uncle will lead you up now."

Since taking over the work of the back chair for shopkeeper Meng, although Wang Jianye went to Lan Lingxue to collect the wages after finishing the chair, and reported to the restaurant that he was satisfied with the workmanship, Lan Lingxue did not see the finished product , always thinking in her heart, this time she had the opportunity, she really wanted to see what the chairs that made Uncle Meng very satisfied, she made a lot of money because of these chairs, just like that, Wang Jianye still Thank Lan Lingxue for a while, saying that the wages are too much, this restaurant is generous, and I am a little embarrassed to say Lan Lingxue,

"Look, are you satisfied?"

On the second floor, Meng Fansheng pushed open the door of a private room,
"Wow! It's so beautiful."

Lan Lingxue just stretched her head, and was stunned by the workmanship of the chairs. In this private room, the light purple was used as the base tone. On the large round dining table, there was a moon white background, embroidered The satin tablecloths of all kinds of orchids are blooming, and the chairs beside the dining table are all semi-circular backs. The top of the backs of the chairs is hollowed out with an orchid, which can be used as a handle and adds beauty. The soft backs below , using the light purple blue of the orchid, which echoes the hollow carved flower, and the seat surface is also satin of the same color. It looks so beautiful that it makes people's hearts tremble. And craftsmanship, far beyond my imagination.

"Don't just look at it, sit on it and try it, it's very comfortable, and these chairs have also helped me retain a lot of customers, all of whom come to enjoy it."

Meng Fansheng encouraged Lan Lingxue to try to sit on it, but Lan Lingxue was a little hesitant, feeling that the chair was a bit too high-end, and it didn't seem to match her identity. The cotton clothes and the satin chair were completely incompatible. take it

"Why, do you think my chair is not good enough for you?"

Meng Fansheng seems to have noticed Lan Lingxue's hesitation, this is not like a little girl's style, she has always been indomitable, I really don't see why she hesitated,

"No, it's the only one that dislikes me. How could I dislike it? I just think it's so beautiful that it doesn't look like a chair anymore. It's like a handicraft, which makes people reluctant to sit. Forget it, I'd better watch it. , Uncle Meng, let’s go to other rooms to have a look, I heard that the chairs in each private room are different?”

I am used to seeing the same modern leather or nylon dining chairs, but now I see the carved seats, which makes Lan Lingxue feel a little dazed, where exactly is she?
"Then let's go and look at the others, and I'm sure you'll be amazed by each one. I've worked in restaurants for so many years, and this is the first time I'm so satisfied with my private rooms."

Seeing that Lan Lingxue was in a bad mood, Meng Fansheng wisely took the subject away and led her to visit another private room. Lan Lingxue's mood was only for a moment. When she arrived in the other room, her The emotions have already eased, after all, we have traveled to this era, the past, no matter how nostalgic, it is already a cloud of the past, even if it is sad, it is just regret,
"Sure enough, the rooms are beautiful, and the pieces are exquisite."

I have to say that Uncle Jianye’s craftsmanship is incredible. He used different carvings for the chairs in each private room, and then used different satin accessories. No wonder he said that he didn’t use the fabric he gave him Well, it's just that these silk and satin fabrics should have used a lot of money. Lan Lingxue decided to find a way to make up for some money when she found a suitable excuse.

"Uncle Meng, I'm here today, and I want to ask you for help."

Lan Lingxue took a tour, went back to the lobby downstairs with Meng Fansheng, and sat down in a corner. After all, she was a girl who hadn't left the court, and Meng Fansheng was very considerate of her, and didn't leave her in the private room. speak alone,

"You little girl, if you have something to say, you can ask for it or not. Why, you went to the county for a while, and you have a relationship with your uncle?"

Meng Fansheng took a sip of his tea and glared at Lan Lingxue, who then laughed.

"No way, how can I have a relationship with Uncle Meng? I really have something to do this time, and it's not easy to handle. I really want to trouble Uncle Meng."

"You said."

Meng Fansheng straightened his face, Lan Lingxue was so serious, it must be very important,
"Uncle Meng, I want to buy some land near the outskirts of Beijing. I don't need paddy fields, just dry land. The bigger the area, the better. I also know that this matter is quite difficult. The land in the outskirts of Beijing is expensive, so it should be available. Money is also hard to buy, so I came here thinking of begging you, Uncle Meng, after all, you still have some contacts in Beijing. Don't worry, Uncle Meng will help me find it slowly, I'm lucky if I can buy it, if I can't, I'll think of a way."

I know that this matter is really difficult to handle. Most of the land in the suburbs of Beijing is in the hands of officials in the capital. Those with a little official position don’t have one or two villages in the suburbs of the capital. With so many officials in the capital, the land in the suburbs of Beijing is about Not enough for them.

"There's really no rush for this matter. I'll think of a way. If I can buy the best land, if I can't buy land in the suburbs of Beijing, how about a place a little further away?"

Meng Fansheng wanted to discuss it with his boss. If Lan Lingxue could buy land in the suburbs of Beijing, then the supply of vegetables in the capital should save a lot of trouble. After all, the vegetables are delivered from here to the capital. Over there, the journey is far away. Although the quality of Lan’s vegetables is very good, after three or four days’ journey (this is still a fast pace), they are all sluggish. After all, they are not as good as the freshly picked ones.

"If it's too far away, we can't reach both sides, so it's better to buy land in the county seat. Anyway, our family has a shop in the county seat, so it's easier to take care of it."

Lan Lingxue still had the original idea, either to buy land in the suburbs of Beijing, or if that didn't work out, then go back to the county.
"What if you don't have a lot of land?"

Meng Fansheng thought that large pieces of land cannot be bought, and there should be some hope for small pieces of land. After all, some land sandwiched between two Zhuangzi's is disliked by people because of its small size, but if it is really used for farming, That's okay too.

"Uncle Meng first ask someone to help you look at it. If it's all small plots, I'm afraid it won't be easy to manage. But if the distance is not too far, each plot can have more than 100 mu. Buy a Four or five plots of land are still five hundred mu, but if it is not enough for this condition, then forget it, after all, the fields are too small, and it is not worth the effort for us to go there."

If you have traveled all the way to the capital just to take care of the one or two hundred acres of land, you might as well put it on the edge of the county town and set it up for hundreds or even thousands of acres. After all, the land over there is extremely expensive. The price is as high as four or five acres in the county seat. If it wasn't for its good location, Lan Lingxue really didn't want to go to such an effort. She was thinking that if she bought land there, it would be her home there. Once you have a property, wait for the little hoe to be admitted to the scholar, Jinshi, etc., until you are admitted to Beijing, where you have your own field, so you won’t be blinded, and you can rest assured, and in the suburbs of Beijing With the land, it is much more convenient to supply the flour for the father-in-law. This can be regarded as a two-handed preparation.

"Okay, Uncle made it down, girl, you should do what you should do first, let this matter go first, and Uncle will help you think about the land. For a large area of ​​land, there must be an appropriate time, isn't it? It's a matter of urgency."

Meng Fansheng was already thinking, how can he get his boss to work hard to handle this matter. After all, if this matter is accomplished, his own restaurant will also benefit, and by the way, he will also sell a good one to the Lan family. Don't think that the Lan family is just a farmer, but don't dare to underestimate it. Just look at how the family property has been set up like this in just six months, which is beyond the reach of other families. Once, she came from the restaurant at home and just begged the restaurant to buy her a few baskets of vegetables. In a blink of an eye, she was already going to buy land in the suburbs of Beijing. Who can compare to this courage, even if it is herself? If you can't do a little girl like this, if you change to your own boss, it is still possible, but the background of the boss is there, who dare not sell his face, but this one in front of you is just a 12-year-old farm girl , Meng Fansheng's admiration is like a mountain and flowing water, which cannot be stopped.

After finishing one thing after another, Lan Lingxue finally calmed down. She helped her father water the vegetable field at home every day. In the rest of the time, she began to practice calligraphy. The characters at this time were all in traditional characters , in modern times, she also read the same antique books, and she could read the traditional Chinese characters. She was really dumbfounded, thinking that her family business would grow bigger and more shops in the future, and there would be more and more chances of signing a contract to see the contract. , that really makes people look down upon him. Moreover, in his previous life, he was a college student who graduated from a prestigious school. If he couldn't even write a word well, he would be humiliated. It's really embarrassing.

Spring comes quickly, and Lan Lingxue’s handwriting has not yet been perfected, but spring has already arrived, and Lan Erzhuang began to plow the ground. He is impatient, and there are people who are more anxious than him. Lan Erzhuang just chanted He wanted to open the land, and the next day, the Sanshui brothers came, and Lan Erzhuang felt embarrassed.

"Why are you in such a hurry, just wait a few more days."

The surface of the ground has melted, but it is hard to say whether the ground below the surface has thawed or not.
"It's melted, it's melted, you didn't see that the ground is soft, it's a good time to dig it up."

Wang Jianye rushed to say that this winter, the brothers did not make less money. In previous years, they were looking for jobs everywhere, but they only earned money for the New Year. This year, others rushed to find them to work, and they paid more The money in this pocket has caught up with the income of previous years, and many young men in the village have jobs, and Lan Erzhuang won't let them take his favor. The gratitude in the hearts of the brothers is really indescribable, so they ran over early to help Lan Erzhuang's house with work,
