Look at the ground

Lu Xiuge is an impatient person who does what he says.

After digging out the charcoal and paper he had just put away last night, Lu Xiangge sat in the cabin without moving for most of the day.

In the afternoon, Lu Quan came to her and said he wanted to go see the land with Shopkeeper Li. Then she remembered that Shopkeeper Li had said that there was a small village that he wanted to sell to his family.

Even though we were going to see some places, only Lu Quan, his wife and Lu Shege went there.

Even if the Lu family sisters were extremely anxious, they would not dare to ask for help without Lu Quan and Qiu speaking.

"Little Four."

Lu Xiaoli first found Lu Sheige and gave her a cooked egg, "Go take a closer look and come back and talk to us in detail."

Qiu had cooked these eggs in the morning, but Lu Xiaoli didn't want to eat them. It was now cheaper for Lu Xiaosi to save them.

Lu Sheige took the egg, glanced at Lu Xiaoli who was reluctant to part with it, and asked: "Isn't Zhuangzi like that? Apart from the ground, there are only a few rooms, how can you still see a flower?"

"Oh, are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

Lu Xiaoli looked at the egg in Lu Xiaosi's hand and was so angry that he wanted to pinch someone, "Of course Zhuangzi is different from Zhuangzi, and the earth is different from the earth. Even if you tell me, you don't understand."

It would be nice if you could let me go and see it together.

"I don't understand that you still ask me to look carefully. When I look carefully, the ground is still the ground, Zhuangzi is still Zhuangzi..."

Lu Xiangge still wanted to be angry with Lu Xiaoli, but when he glanced at Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoyu who were sitting in the cabin and kept peeking at them, he couldn't help but paused, "Forget it, why don't I talk to dad and let's go and see it together as a family.

"

After all, I am buying land for my family, so there is nothing wrong with letting them check it out.

"Really...really?"

Lu Xiaoli was as happy as anything, feeling deeply that he had not given away the eggs for free this time.

Not to mention an egg, if she is asked not to eat it in the future and save it for Xiaosi, she will be willing to do so.

"I'll ask my parents. If they don't allow it, don't blame me."

Lu Sheige said and pushed the egg in his hand to Lu Xiaoli again, "You can eat this egg. You look thin. The one with yellow skin and less flesh is not good-looking at all."

"you!"

Lu Xiaoli angrily picked up the egg and wanted to throw it at her, but after thinking about it, he couldn't bear it, so he could only hold back his voice and coax her angrily, "Okay, if I eat it and it's still not good, go and ask, hurry up."

When Lu Shengge came forward, Qiu and Lu Quan naturally agreed.

Buying land or a house is a happy event, and it is best to go together as a family.

The place that shopkeeper Li mentioned was not near Jiangjiaba, but between Xiaowuzhuang and Zhaozhuang, close to a place called Happy Ridge. It was only half an hour's walk from Jiangjiaba. If you take a boat around Honghu Lake,

It's a little faster. If you row from the inland river, it will only take half the time to burn an incense stick to Jiangjiaba.

This place is really not that far away.

It is also secluded, far away from the gate and the village. From a distance, it is just a large deserted wild forest. No one would have thought that there could be such a village hidden behind the forest, as well as dozens of acres of fertile fields.

Dozens of acres of land are connected together, and all of them are planted with rice. It is the harvest season now, and the rice is turning yellow, and it looks golden from a distance.

Lu Quan and Mrs. Qiu walked into the field, their hands touched the drooping rice grains, and their legs began to feel weak.

They want to buy this land so that they can grow rice in the future. When the time comes, Xiao Si will not have to eat a bag of rice and share it with his sister and his brother.

Mrs. Qiu didn't even care about Xiao Wu, so she handed it to Lu Quan and ran into the yard with her three girls.

Back and forth, looking through all the rooms was not enough, so I asked Lu Xiangge to look at them one by one. He even liked the remaining old furniture inside.

These nine rooms are built as four in the main house and two in the east kitchen. At the end, there are three spacious warehouses reserved for storing grain.

There is the main house, the entrance hall, and the east and west rooms. There is also an east wing connected to the east room, but it is a door opened from the corridor, not from the east room.

The kitchen to the east is the kitchen and dining room. There is half a wall between the kitchen and the dining room, and the other half is empty, without even a door. There is also a firewood shed behind the kitchen with some messy dry branches piled up.

This house was built on Qiu's heart.

After looking at the room carefully, Qiu was called by Lu Quan to look at the property.

Shopkeeper Li took Lu Quan and Qiu to inspect dozens of acres of land, inside and out.

"I also picked up this land by accident. A fellow villager who owned a restaurant in Jiangjiaba sold it to me when he returned to Yangzhou."

This piece of land is considered to be the only property purchased by shopkeeper Li in Jiangjiaba in the past few years. It’s not because he has a connection with the Lu family, or because he wants to open a hot pot restaurant in Yangzhou first as Lu Xiaosi mentioned. He is reluctant to sell this piece of land.

of.

"When he sold it to me, it was 49 acres of land, and he sold it to me for 11 taels per acre. Later, I opened another ten acres of land, making a total of 62 acres. Zhuangzi was built after I bought the land.

Yes, it only took a few years, and it cost more than forty taels. Nowadays, the world is a bit chaotic, and I can't sell you this land at a high price. Even if it is a whole piece of land, ten taels per acre, a total of 620 taels of silver. This Zhuangzi is even four

Ten taels, a total of 660 taels of silver. Brother Lu, you can do it."

"Chengchengcheng..." It's so cheap, how could Lu Quan not do it.

Seeing that Lu Quan had agreed, shopkeeper Li was not in a hurry to make a decision: "Then I'll go and have a look, and you and your siblings can discuss it later."

Discussions were necessary, and Lu Quan felt like a fire was burning in his heart, causing his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys to tangle together.

Sixty-two acres of paddy field, connected to a piece of wasteland, plus a fairly large yard.

There are twelve houses and warehouses, not to mention the front and rear yards, pig pens, chicken pens, and livestock sheds, plus a large drying area at the door.

The Lu family couldn't get out more than 600 taels of silver even if they sold it.

But this place, this Zhuangzi, is really great.

Ten taels of silver per acre of land, no one would sell it even if people's hearts are fluctuating now, let alone such a large piece of land that is still connected together.

And this Zhuangzi, with more than a dozen houses of various sizes, plus the furniture left by Shopkeeper Li, is still worth eighty taels, not to mention forty taels.

Shopkeeper Li sold this village to his family, which equaled a loss of more than a hundred taels!

Lu Quan looked at his wife bitterly, "Mother Xiaoqing, this village is good, but our family doesn't have enough money."

That day, shopkeeper Li said he wanted to sell Zhuangzi to his family, so Lu Quan and Qiu collected all their money.

The Dong family had two hundred and fifty taels of fish dishes, and the Dong family had one hundred taels. In the past two months, selling long fish and eel cages, the Lu family had saved another two hundred and fifty taels, plus the 10% profit from the braised pork sausage sent by the Ding family.

, just enough for two hundred taels.

Now, after scraping away the scattered copper coins in their hands, they could come up with 550 taels of silver, which was still 70 taels short.

"Dad, I don't have two hundred taels left. You can take it and buy another cow and an oxcart. We have so much land in our family and we don't have a cow to plow the land. We will have to farm until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."

Hearing Lu Xiaosi mention her two hundred taels, Lu Quan immediately became unwilling: "How can that be done?"

Xiao Si earned most of the money the family earned, so he felt a little uneasy about using it all.

If Xiao Si's life-saving money was wasted again, he would not be able to overcome this hurdle.

"Why not?"

Lu Sheige had to understand the insistence of Lu Quan and Qiu. They only had two hundred taels of silver, so they couldn't afford not to buy land for the few dozen taels they were short of.

This time, shopkeeper Li specially gave them a good deal. If you miss this village, you won’t be able to find this store.
