He was afraid of going in to buy paper because they didn't want money.
"I'll buy it later. Let's go shopping first."
Yan Laoer glanced at the woodworking shop next to it and turned in.
The three children followed.
Border style is most vividly reflected in the furniture.
There are no complicated pattern carvings, simple patterns, and a clumsy atmosphere.
Most of them are practical.
Most of the furniture in the store is painted red and looks very festive.
Just as the waiter was about to come forward to say hello, he was stopped by the shopkeeper.
"The guest looks strange, but your surname is Yan?"
Yan Laoer: Is it so obvious? Are you recognized now? You won’t be able to do anything cheating on others in the future...
No one knows Yan Laoer's inner complaints.
"My surname is Yan."
"Haha, brother Yan, do you want to choose furniture? I wonder where the new house will be?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Really, without being baptized by the government officials, the shopkeeper would not think twice about asking Yan Laoer this question, but now... he felt that the shopkeeper was trying to get his home address.
"I haven't decided yet, just take a look." Yan Laoer said cautiously.
"Dad, come and see this cabinet." Yan Yu and others stood in front of a low cabinet.
The shopkeeper introduced it smoothly: "This is the kang cabinet. Brother Yan has never seen it before, right?"
Yan Laoer: You haven’t seen it before, I’ve seen it a lot!
"We have a kang in Guanzhou, and all the bedding and bedding are placed in such a low cabinet, which is also called a kang bed or kang cabinet."
Since you mentioned it, Yan Laoer asked along the way.
"Does the shopkeeper know who knows the art of making a kang?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I really know a few of them. You can't tell the quality of the work on the surface. You will know it after a winter. I gave a few names to Brother Yan, and Brother Yan asked around. He did a good job.
"
The shopkeeper named a few people and where they lived.
Yan Laoer thanked the shopkeeper and left.
The shopkeeper grabbed him and stuffed him with two banknotes with a smile.
He named several shops in succession.
"In the future, there will be household records for Lao Yan and Liang." He also sent them out specifically to show Yan Lao'er, starting from the two houses at the head of the city to all the shops that could be seen on both sides of the street.
Yan Laoer didn't expect these people to be so capable of living together and act collectively.
If he goes forward later, if he doesn't go in, people will invite him.
This happened three more times, while the others were still at the same place, but they cleared all the shops on the street of the Tiger City.
The government officials spoke conservatively. There were no naive businessmen. They were all sensible and experienced. They were afraid that money would be difficult to carry, so they stuffed all the money with banknotes, two at a time, with the denomination of five taels, each time in a big bunch.
Say the name.
Yan Laoer started to memorize it by heart, but later found that he didn't use it at all, and no one was left behind.
Several people returned to the previous bookstore.
The bookstore owner smiled kindly.
I listened to them asking about paper, choosing a few items and quoting their prices, and the introductions were all commonly used by government clerks.
Yan Laoer bought two pieces of paper. What made him relieved was that the shopkeeper settled the bill as usual and didn't mention anything about giving him a free bill or any discount.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but as they walked back, they felt that there were fewer people on the street.
…
Yan Laoer and others left the city, but the government officials did not move forward.
I just took the filial piety silver, so I came up to figure out what was going on.
At this time, you have to stay far away.
Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan took the banknotes, twenty taels per family.
This number is just right, it doesn’t seem too flattering, and it’s still manageable.
After all, there are dozens of shops in the city, large and small. How they allocate them has nothing to do with the Yan and Liang families.
Yan Huaiwen took the paper, asked the price, and nodded.
Liang Manshan listened at the side and said: "The shops in this tiger city are quite interesting. Xiaojingyin is Xiaojingyin, but the price of goods is not willing to be compromised."
"This is better." Yan Huaiwen stopped writing.
After days of hard work, the register was finally completed.
…
Master Tian sent people to come with them to measure the acres and plot the land.
When distributing rations and seeds, the elder promised them that as long as they open up wasteland for three years and pay taxes for three years, they will get land deeds for them.
With the title deed, the land truly belongs to them.
Everyone is very excited.
I feel like I have endless strength in my body, and I walk as fast as I can.
When they actually arrived at the place, the group of people hesitated to move forward.
"Such a good place... was given to us?" Uncle An asked in disbelief.
This question expresses the sentiments of countless people.
Here, it's as good as Yan Er said, no, it's better than what he said.
A group of people stared blankly at the mountains, water and land.
Yan Laoer is in a hurry, these guys are worthless.
He hurriedly greeted: "Hurry, help me measure the land!"
Measuring land is also a big project.
Several government officials are accustomed to doing this, and the speed is not slow. All they have to do is to pick up more stones and wooden stakes and come back to mark the area around the measured plot.
A group of people followed the government officials who measured the land.
Yan Laoer was running around with several children.
They are looking for a suitable homestead.
"Uncle Yan, how is it here?" Where Liang Fengnian stood, there was a big stone.
Yan Yu made a visual inspection with his eyes. Not to mention, including all places, the location of this big stone can be regarded as the center.
Yan Laoer stamped his feet, lowered his head and searched for a while.
The ground is quite solid.
"Okay, that's it. With this stone here, it's pretty easy to recognize."
Liang Fengnian laughed happily.
With the big stone as the center, Yan Laoer began to mutter.
"There needs to be a big barn here for drying grain in the future...
We can’t pick and choose each family’s homestead, as we will have to add more people in the future...
It would be convenient to have a mill in the center...
Uh, you have to stay on the road where you take the bullock cart, and you have to be able to drive two carts parallel to each other, otherwise you won't be able to turn around..."
Yan Laoer is very grand. His paintings are not stingy at all. One word stands out in the whole picture - big.
When Village Chief Luo came over, he almost lost his temper and twisted his mouth.
"According to your drawing, can this land be divided?"
Yan Laoer also said plausibly: "Village chief, do you think each family will have to add more people in the future? If you raise chickens and pigs, etc., and include the front and back yards, the house will not have to be this big."
Village Chief Luo picked up a branch, pursed his lips and said with a straight face, "Look at it."
The branch in his hand hit a spot, and Yan Yu cleverly placed a stone.
Received the approving look from the village chief grandpa.
Village Chief Luo quickly circled a piece of land.
"It's just that big, just like me." He said, looking at the big stone and asked Yan Laoer: "Is this stone the center of our village?"
Yan Laoer nodded hurriedly.
Village Chief Luo looked around and said: "We can't live together. If we live too close together, conflicts will easily arise. We have to live farther away. We can't draw like you do. What, one next to another, it doesn't look good."
He used branches to draw a circle on the ground to represent the big rocks.
Then draw many small horizontal lines around it.
“That’s probably it, everyone is surrounding this big rock.
It’s right to leave space around the big rocks, and these few roads in the middle are roads..."
