Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 36 Buying Land
Settling always takes time, the sink is not big, but it will be full after a while, and finally two wooden basins are used for storage.

Seeing the milky white juice coming out, Ban Xia felt very excited, and her voice became a little excited, "Uncle, wait for a day or two, and use your hands to probe. If the bottom has become hard, you can sweep the water from the top. Go, put them piece by piece on a sieve to dry. And then put them away first."

A whole room of old cassava cannot be processed into such cassava starch. Pinellia always feels that using the starch processed in this way to make cassava glutinous rice cakes is a bit of a disadvantage, because the manpower consumption is too large, especially when smashing cassava. It doesn't seem worthwhile to simply sell food.

Anyway, it's a way.

Li Zhiyao looked at the things in the wooden basin in a daze for a moment, and then he had an idea, "This cassava needs to be grown for a long time, and there are not enough water tanks. Our yard is big enough. It is enough to ask a carpenter to make a big wooden tank." Success, or if this is released, it will be learned by others..."

Well, having a sense of secrecy is not bad.

But Banxia also noticed what he said at the same time, cassava can be planted for a long time, and the cassava stalks exist, so the seeds are no problem, but land is needed!
Don't think it's a wasteland, but if you really count it, you can grow some things like peanuts and soybeans. Of course, these lands are concentrated near the village, which is easy to take care of and can be busy, but this is a little farther away. Yes... If you really know cassava, can't others grow it?

Or to put it another way, if the land is not my own, even if cassava is planted, what if someone herds cattle and steps on it?
After thinking about it, there is only one result, buying land is imperative!
buy land?Ban Xia first took a breath of air-conditioning.

Seeing her suddenly enlightened and slightly pained like this, Mr. Li's laughing voice became louder, "If girl wants to buy land, grandpa can look at it for you."

Ban Xia blinked, "The money has not been warmed yet, and they are about to jump out in a line. Now I understand why someone got angry there because they lacked a little money."

Someone, it goes without saying.

"Unexpectedly, you are still a money fan!"

Just kidding, if you want to cooperate, you must grow cassava, and you have to seize the market before others react to it, so that it can be stabilized.

After Mr. Li laughed, his face also became a little serious. Before, I thought Mrs. Guo was a bit exaggerated because her affection for Mrs. Li was very different. She always said that Banxia didn’t look like a child. Looking at it with the eyes of a child, "Banxia, ​​tell your parents about buying land?"

Ban Xia naturally shook her head, "Grandpa, it's not the time yet, what if you want to go back, and where do you get the money to buy the land? I'll talk slowly."

"Just make up your mind." Mr. Li didn't object.

The idea is that I can take it by myself first, but since I don’t have any money on hand, and she is so young, the land deed is also troublesome, "Grandpa, why don’t you write the land deed on your side, and when we separate, just give it to us later." .”

Li Zhiyao didn't speak at first, but when he heard this, he also reminded, "If this is buying land, it's nothing to write about on our side, but after signing the white deed first, we have to open the red deed. If we do it once, there will be more Pay some money."

The so-called white deed is like a contract signed by both parties when buying land or a house. There are also intermediary guarantors called white deeds, also called grass deeds, while red deeds are called official deeds, which are filed and sealed by the government.

After Mr. Li explained the difference to Ban Xia in detail.

Ban Xia understood it, it was naturally a red deed, and the yamen protector admitted it!
Farmers are used to living a fine life, and their ancestors have lived in this village for generations, so there is really no need to do so unless there are special things, but Ban Xia still insists, "Let's enter the red contract, we plan to do business for a long time, the land I bought them all, and I finished all 99 head kowtows, not bad for this trembling."

After deliberation, everyone agreed.

Mrs. Guo laughed happily, "Banxia, ​​you are now a landlord, and even your parents don't know about it. This is a big idea!"

Hearing the proud tone, Ban Xia knew that she was definitely not to blame.

The most important thing came, Ban Xia had a bitter expression on his face, "Grandpa, uncle, I... only eight taels of silver on hand, how many acres can I buy?"

Pinellia knows the prices here, eight taels of silver can be considered less. The best paddy fields can buy more than one mu, and the poor ones can barely cover two mu. Don't underestimate these two mu of fields, look at Su Qian After getting married with Mr. Su, this kind of lifestyle is close to picky, selling tofu and helping others. Counting the several acres of land that Mr. Su had before, the good farmland is now less than [-] acres, and there are almost [-] acres. A few acres, but it took decades to dig out little by little!

With my own eight taels of silver, I can buy more slopes that most people don't use, right?

Mr. Li smiled, "You have eight taels of silver! This is not old or young. Even if your father sells tofu every day, he may not be able to save so much money in a year."

Mr. Li is generally satisfied with the son-in-law he has his eyes on. It is true that Mrs. Li has not suffered much for so many years, but his temper is too honest, and there is such a mother-in-law at home, who makes a mess Yes, fortunately, Ban Xia and Yuan Guang are both very ambitious, good days are yet to come.

As a parent, there is always a heart that can't be finished, even if Mrs. Li has been married for many years, Mr. Li will naturally watch.

Looking at Yuanchen again, he felt uncomfortable, thinking that there is nothing wrong here, he really wants to take his son to the place where Mrs. Su Qian was married to see what he wants... Taking advantage of the old woman's guilty conscience , Separate the daughter's family, so that Ban Xia will not be guessing here, and the future will be a good day.

Ban Xia naturally didn't know that Mr. Li had turned so many thoughts in an instant, and he was only a little apprehensive.

The uncle was the first to express his opinion, "Eight liang is not too much. What can those sloping land on the top of the mountain do? Look at it is wasteland! Otherwise, if we have so much strength, we should first get the land deed. If it is regarded as land reclamation, the first three years will be nothing You don't have to give anything!"

This is also a way.

Mr. Li nodded, "You don't need to worry about this matter Banxia. Let me take your uncle to see it. Let's not worry. There is still a winter and it won't change much. If it can be regarded as a wasteland, we don't need to worry about it anyway. It can also be opened, depending on whether it is suitable for planting cassava. I reckon that one ling can be won for 20 taels of silver. With the prescription, this cassava can’t be sold!”

This last sentence is considered a beating, and both uncle and aunt naturally expressed their views.

At this point, the matter of buying the land has been settled.
