Chapter 42 Buying Land

Li Qiusui ran home shouting.

As the head of the family who travels around the world, Li Sanzhu has also been to the county town several times. Visitors flock to Fuyun Tower and he has heard about it many times.

After entering the city, I didn't go anywhere else. I went straight to Fuyun Building. The carriage parked on the side of the door in the back alley of the restaurant. I straightened my clothes before raising my hand to knock on the door. The door was opened from the inside.

When the man saw someone outside, there was no surprise on his face, "Are you bringing food?"

This is the backyard of the restaurant, and the meat and vegetables purchased pass through this door. He himself is the guy who helps with the inventory and transportation.

Li Sanzhu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, please help me introduce the purchasing manager."

While talking, a handful of copper coins were thrust into someone's hand.

The man weighed it with his hands and found that there were twenty or thirty pieces! It was equivalent to his day's wages, and he skillfully put it into his pocket.

He looked at the person up and down. He was dressed in short brown linen clothes and dressed like a working man in the countryside. "You are not a regular customer of our store who delivers food. Why do you want us to take care of you?"

His eyes fell on the carriage on the right, and he said in a gentler tone: "Our manager is not here today, so the shopkeeper will have nothing to do. Can you first tell me what kind of ingredients are in the basket?"

If some common vegetables and fruits from the farm were not worth a few bucks, he could take the initiative. However, being able to use a carriage and being so carefully covered should be a rare rarity, but not this one.

It's up to you.

"It's a kind of mushroom that I grew at home. Please tell the shopkeeper, please."

The man lifted up the wet linen on the frame and took a look at the neatly arranged mushrooms. "Does your family grow this? Have people eaten it? Is it poisonous?"

His home is just around the county town, not far from Lijia Village. They have heard about the poisonous wild fungi in the mountains since they were children.

"My family has eaten it a long time ago. Not only is it not poisonous, but it tastes good!" Li Sanzhu saw that the person was interested and his face flushed with excitement.

"Wait here."

The man finished his sentence, turned around, crossed the threshold, and closed the door again.

Li Sanzhu squatted at the door, reciting his daughter's instructions over and over in his heart.

That man was so easy to talk to just now, it was thanks to that handful of coppers. Li Sanzhu was a farmer who was used to farm work. How could he have thought of this in advance? Li Qiusui reminded him that it is easier to do things if you have money, so he got the money.

That one comes out.

The foot door was opened again, and Li Sanzhu stood up quickly.

An old man in his fifties or sixties walked out of the door. The young man walking behind him pointed at Li Sanzhu and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, this is the man who said he sold the mushrooms to us."

The younger brother licked his smile and said flatteringly: "Manager Qian won't be here right now, so if we can collect this thing, we need your help."

Shopkeeper Wu nodded, walked straight towards the carriage, and lifted off the wet linen cloth.

"Did your family grow this?"

Li Sanzhu, "Yes."

"How many days can I pick it?"

"Five to seven days."

Li Sanzhu replied, but his attitude was not as cautious as he was with his younger brother. In the words of his daughter, if you can't make a deal at the top, if this family can't do it, there will be another family.

Shopkeeper Wu's eyes were clear. Their restaurant's signature Baiwei Zhen contained mushrooms. They sent people to the countryside to collect them. The quantity was really limited, and the types were all common types.

"Have you eaten at home?"

Li Sanzhu nodded.

"What price do you want to sell it for?"

"The shopkeeper will let you make the dishes first. After tasting them yourself, we will discuss them in detail." As Li Sanzhu spoke, he took out a recipe from his pocket and handed it over.





Li Sanzhu was sent out of Fuyun Building by shopkeeper Wu himself, "Sanzhu, what's going on, we've settled on this! The mushrooms are for our Fuyun Building family. Come winter, if you can really grow mushrooms as promised, I will give you the money."

Double that."

Li Sanzhu was sent far away, and he still couldn't recover.

Touching the twenty-six taels of silver in his arms, he found one hundred and forty-five kilograms of mushrooms at eighteen cents per jin. The price was as high as that of pork. The recipe also sold for ten taels.

Looking back at Fuyun Tower, I can really, as my daughter said, pick a crop every three to five days and harvest it every month. How much money is that?

Li Sanzhu couldn't figure it out clearly even though he was counting his fingers. After digging in the soil for most of his life, he had money in his pocket for the first time. His heart was pounding so hard that he untied the carriage and rushed towards Lijiacun in a daze.

Li Qiu Sui directed Liu and Xia He to make lunch in the kitchen, and Li Sanzhu rushed in. Seeing the two girls there, he managed to regain some composure on his face.

"All sold out!" Ms. Liu asked.

A couple who have been married for more than ten years still don't understand the head of the family. This excitement must mean that something good has happened to them.

While his daughter was still in front of him, Li Sanzhu barely maintained his fatherly demeanor. He nodded and did not hide anything, "I have sold them all to Fuyunlou! I will pick them all and send them over later, and compare them with today's prices. If the winter lasts longer, the price will be higher."

It may even double.”

While talking, Li Sanzhu handed twelve taels of silver into Liu's hand.

Li Sanzhu has never seen Yin Zi several times, let alone Mrs. Liu?

The package of gold and silver that Li Qiu Sui gave him last time was not only handed over to Li Changshan brothers, but also hidden under the box. Although Mrs. Liu could not guess that the package belonged to Young Master Zheng's private house.

I had money, but I didn’t plan to use it anymore. The gold, peanut and silver dumplings looked like they were not ordinary things for people to spend.

Furthermore, she still had the banknote given by Li Qiusui in her hand.

These things were all forced upon me by my daughter. To be honest, Mrs. Liu never had the mood to observe them carefully. But it was different when Li Sanzhu handed over the money. This was a way for her family to make money, and she could accept it with peace of mind.

My daughter said that winter can last longer, so of course it can!

Mrs. Liu didn't worry about this now. She counted the money in her hand and urged: "Go to Li Zheng's house quickly and buy all the land around our house. Don't demolish the old house first, build that fire wall first."

, so that it is not cold in winter and the humidity is maintained, mushrooms can still grow."

The last sentence was Li Qiusui's original words, and Liu copied them to Li Sanzhu.

"Xia He watches the fire! I'll go to the house and take out the banknotes and give them to your father."

The bank note was naturally the three hundred taels given by Li Qiusui.

At this time, Mrs. Liu also figured out that when the family has money in the future, they will double the supplement and blindly give in. The family will live a miserable life, which will only make the daughter feel more uncomfortable.

Li Qiusui looked at her mother's busy back and smiled helplessly. This time she found the right way to grow mushrooms. She could also understand her parents' mentality. She was afraid of spending less money, and she kept thinking about saving money, but she didn't know it.

Open source is the way to go.

In one afternoon, Li Sanzhu spent fifty taels of silver to buy more than ten acres of land around his house. The reason why it was so cheap was that except for his own land, the rest was considered semi-barren land, including the fish pond at the back.
