pastoral wedding

Chapter 74 Can't get through

He has always unconditionally supported what his children want to do, not to mention that his daughter understands that she is making money and not fooling around, so she simply nodded and said, "I think this is okay, but Dad I haven't been in the village for a long time, I really don't know if there is any idle land in the village, I have to ask Li Zheng."

"Father, are you free now?" Su Jin blinked and looked at him eagerly.

Su Wenshan stretched out a generous big hand and touched his daughter's head with a smile, "Whether father is free or not, daughter's affairs are the most important thing, let alone earning money for our family, haha, father will go and ask " Smiling and turned to look in the yard, "If your mother asks later, you can help father, otherwise your mother will think that father is hiding somewhere to drink again."

"Don't worry, if mother has any dissatisfaction, my daughter will take care of it for you." Su Jin patted her small chest proudly, which made her father laugh again, and went to Lizheng's house hehe.

Su Jin sat on the tree stump outside the courtyard and waited with her chin resting. She felt that if there was land in the village, Lizheng would definitely sell it to her family, because Lizheng always believed that her family had a close relationship with County Magistrate Liu's family. But what if it is not?How about telling the eldest sister that in her dowry, there are [-] acres of land in Baili Village?Forget it, it's the elder sister's dowry. If I use it, I will inevitably let the Han family talk about it.

When she was struggling, Su Wenshan came back, still smiling.Su Jin ran over immediately, "Father, how are you doing?"

"There is no idle land in our village, but there is a piece of land at the foot of the back mountain for sale. It was reclaimed by your uncle's family. You also know that his family has five sons, and the good land is not enough. I had no choice but to reclaim the mountain land, but after several years of planting, there was no harvest, so I registered with Lizheng and wanted to sell it." Su Wenshan was pulled by her and sat down on the tree stump.

"How many acres can there be?" Su Jin was concerned. At the foot of the mountain, it is close to the back mountain, and it is easy to manage, but I don't know if it is suitable for planting sunflowers. She doesn't know much, but if it is suitable, you can go. look.

"There is about 30 acres, which were all deserted before, but the weeds grew too vigorously on it, and the crops could not grow. They were eaten by grass as soon as they emerged." Su Wenshan said all the news he got. Come out, "Li Zheng said that if you want it, you can go to him and talk to him. If you buy a few acres, you can count 25 taels of silver per mu. If you want all of them, you can count it as [-] taels."

Su Jin's calculations are appropriate, the fertile land costs 50 taels per mu.So he stood up immediately and was about to run to the back of the mountain. Su Wenshan hurriedly called for someone, but there was no response after shouting for a long time, so he shook his head and went into the yard.

Su Jin ran to the foot of the mountain in one breath, and saw that it was indeed a large piece of land, sixty acres.There are no crops in the field, but there are a lot of withered and yellow weeds. She doesn't study agriculture, and she is not sure whether such a field is suitable for growing sunflowers. Should she buy it and try it out?What if it is not long?That's not a big deal.

She walked and looked along the high edge between each acre of land, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she walked, isn't that a sunflower stem?They are all withered in the ground. Doesn't this mean that sunflowers can still be grown here? But I don't know if the [-] acres are suitable, but looking at these few plants, she has hope in her heart. Since the price is not expensive, It's not that the family can't afford the money, so let's try, if it doesn't work, change to another type, and if you can't blind these lands, it will be fine.

After returning home, Su Jin brought this matter up for discussion with the whole family. No one objected, so Su Wenshan took the money from the Liu family and went back to Liushu Village to find the village chief. finished.Su Jin was overjoyed with the transfer of the land contract, and kept yelling that he would plant all sunflowers this year, and he would definitely earn a lot of money next year.

Su Wenshan walked up to his daughter with a smile and asked: "This land is bought, so have you thought about how to plant it and who will plant it? Are you going to plant the land yourself?"

"Me? Dad, do you think I'm the material for farming?" Su Jin pointed at herself amusedly, "I just want to buy the land first, and I haven't thought about who will plant it."

"The weather is getting warmer now, but it's time to plant the land. What do you think? Dad will help you think about it." Su Wenshan sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. Before his daughter saw it, he took a piece of tea from the table. Brother Shuo threw the crispy candy into his mouth, and when Su Jin turned around, he had already finished eating.

"Hey," Su Jin grinned and lay down on the table in front of him, looking up at him, "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, it's no fun to play tricks, right?"

This girl!Su Wenshan glared at her, cleared his throat and said, "When I went to buy the land, I met the third son of your great-uncle's family. He asked me what I was going to do with the land purchase. I said I hadn't figured it out yet, so he said If you want to hire someone, can you consider him first, you also know that your great uncle's family has many sons but little land, and his fourth and fifth children are working outside, if you can use it, you might as well take care of his family."

"I think it's a good idea, Dad. If you have time, ask your third uncle if he can plant sunflowers. If he can, let him plant them. The land will be planted for him free of charge, and no rent will be required. If it costs [-]%, we must sell all the rest to our family, and I will buy it at a reasonable price." Su Jin thought for a while and said.

"That's a good idea." Su Wenshan nodded with a smile, "I'll go tell your third uncle tomorrow, and if he wants to, he can plant the land for him."

The father and daughter quickly reached a consensus. After discussing the matter, Su Wenshan took time to go back, finalized the matter with the youngest Su Liyuan, wrote a contract, and signed it for ten years. to plant for him.

After finishing this work, Su Jin felt relieved. Last year was too tiring, and this year she needs to take a good rest. Thinking about it, she has never been so busy and tired since she was in this era. Pass.

After staying at home for six or seven days, I couldn't stay any longer this day, and I was too lazy to go out, so I played with Xiao Qiao'er at home.It was cardamom at the beginning of March, and the weather was getting warmer, and the apricot blossoms in the yard were already blooming.Xiao Qiao'er is more than four months old and has already started to recognize people. When she saw Su Jin, she burst into a smile. She only had two lower teeth, which is very cute.

Thinking of my eldest sister's belly, I don't know whether she is pregnant with a boy or a girl. Han Chen went to Beijing to prepare for the exam after the new year. There will be an exam in February, and I don't know how the exam is. There has been no news, but No news is not necessarily bad news, after all, there will be a palace examination in April, maybe it will be over and waiting for the palace examination in Beijing.

Thinking about the daughter of the Dou family again, I heard that she got married after the year, and that she married far away, and everyone in the town knows that she put all her heart and soul into marrying into the Han family. , who would dare to marry her.

But speaking of Dou's family, Su Jin had a sudden whim and wanted to try his family's tofu. Everyone said his family's tofu was delicious. Over the years, Dou's family's tofu has accounted for 90.00% of Qingshi Town's share. His tofu is used in all major restaurants and kitchens of wealthy families.The rest are small workshops that don't make much money, just make some small money from retail sales.

"Mother, do we also use the tofu from Dou's Tofu Shop?" Seeing Mrs. Liu standing idly in the kitchen and instructing two little girls to make pastries, she asked.

Liu's expression changed, but she immediately smiled and said, "Why are you asking this? Do you want tofu? If you want to eat, let Xiaohe go out and buy a piece. Let's eat tofu stew at noon."

"There must be tofu in our restaurant. It's so close. I'll ask Xiao He to ask Uncle Mu for a piece." After Su Jin finished speaking, Xiao He had already put down the dishes she was choosing. He wiped his hands and walked out.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly stopped her, looking a bit wrong, Su Jin walked up to her suspiciously, took her arm and asked, "Mother, what's going on?"

"Oh," Liu said with a sigh, "it's your father who didn't let me tell you that ever since we got into a fight with the Dou family on Mr. Han's birthday, the Dou family has held a grudge, no, since then I don’t want to sell tofu to our restaurant anymore. As you know, the other small workshops are not as good as his, and they can’t supply such a large amount. We can only make up for the time being. , your father was afraid that you and your second sister would find out about the trouble with others, but at first he didn't even tell me about it, and then I found out about it from Chunyi by accident."

This Dou family!To be so stingy, how can the quarrel between women affect the business affairs, so it can be seen that this Dou Fangqi's father is also a confused and confused person.

"It's just right not to sell it to us. Thinking of Dou Fangqi and her mother, I really don't want to eat her tofu. It's disgusting to think about it." Su Zhen made a face at her mother, "Mom, let's not eat tofu anymore , at noon, I will personally cook fish stew for you." She was smiling, but she was thinking about it in her heart, she is a Dou family, I really didn't pay attention to the girl, I thought we would not violate the river water, This is because your family has offended this girl, so don't blame this girl for being ruthless.

After eating at noon, Su Jin went to Sangu's house, and when she saw Xiao Di, she reached out to her to hug her, Su Jin took it over and kissed her hard on the face, she was so happy that she couldn't stop giggling .

Seeing her bring Xiao He, Su Cui gave them newly made glutinous rice cakes, Brother Xu also took one and stuffed it into his mouth, his hands and face were sticky, Xiao He hugged her Xiao Di took him to wash.

Su Jin asked her while eating rice cakes, "Sangu, do you have soybeans at home?"
