It was past noon and the sun was shining brightly, so Old Liu Tou left Zhufeng and Qingyu to have lunch. At the dinner table, they talked about the tenant farmers in the fields.
"Although the village head has found five, I have tried my best to make a pile of land for you. The tenants of these fifty acres of land are all managed by one person, and they are not far apart.
This land is the same, it's not far away, you can walk through all fifty acres of land in an hour or two."
Zhufeng smiled gratefully and said, "Sorry to trouble you. If I want to buy land in the future, I will come back to you."
But Lao Liutou laughed, "I don't dare to trouble you anymore. Today, I'm afraid that the head of Wuzhuang will complain about me."
At that time, they were so angry that they were so anxious that they took advantage of you. When they calm down and sober up after they return home, they are not allowed to talk to me about it."
Zhufeng looked apologetic, "Look what you said, I didn't expect them to start arguing among themselves as they were talking, and I was in a dilemma. Hey... I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. Then they will
Won't..."
Old Liu's face stared at him like a mirror and smiled,
"You two, father and daughter, one is a good person and the other is a bad person. You made them anxious when you first came, and they were so focused on making a deal that they lost their bearings.
So why do I say that harmony is the most important thing? This "harmony" means not only that everyone is harmonious, but also that one has to be calm. If they are anxious, they can't blame me.
I didn't say a word at all. At most, I complained that I had found an enemy like you. But anyway, you are not wrong. It's their fault that they can't keep calm."
And now he finally understands why five people need to talk together. Once the interests of the five people are tilted, there will definitely be conflicts. Those five people thought that they could be powerful together, but they didn't know that they were defeated by one move to retreat.
Old Liu Tou couldn't help but examine the father and daughter in front of him. I'm afraid the father and daughter had planned it from the beginning. I'm afraid that even if the five people didn't get together, they would take the initiative to propose a discussion.
Zhufeng held the wine glass and toasted Lao Liutou, and said with a smile: "I am lucky, today is a good day for trading."
...
After dinner, Lao Liu took Zhufeng and Qingyu to find the place.
In the connected fields, one can see the yellowing state of the ground even from a distance, and with the different degrees of greenness and yellowness, one can also tell the quality of the ground. Indeed, as Old Liu Tou said, the word "和"
Most of the crops on the ground are dry and yellow.
After identifying about ten pieces of land, the three of them met the first tenant farmer, Old Huang. Old Liu Tou explained:
"Old Huang's family has ten acres of land that is tenanted, all of which are He-zi land, so you can see him in the land now. Many people are not all tenants of He-zi land, and they must be busy in other fields at the moment.
, after all, this and Zi Di can’t save anything.”
Zhufeng Qingyu followed Lao Liutou and went up to greet Lao Huang. Lao Liutou first started with an enthusiastic conversation:
"Old Huang, you are still busy. Have you eaten yet?"
Old Huang looks to be in his forties. He has been working in the fields all year round and has a tanned skin. However, farmers are strong, so he still looks very energetic, but his face looks downcast, worrying about the crops in the fields.
He stopped the hoe in his hand, wiped some sweat, and responded with a smile, "I have eaten, it was brought by my child." He complained again, "After working like this, there is still no less grass in the field. This damn thing
I really want to set things on fire when approving things."
Old Liu looked around and said, "The grass is like this. How can there be any land without this thing?"
Old Huang squinted at Zhufeng and Qingyu, "Who are these two?"
"Oh, I'm about to introduce it to you. This is your new owner in the future. Boss Zhu has bought fifteen acres of land in Songzhuangtou, including your ten acres."
Old Huang narrowed his eyes a little more and looked at Zhufeng and Qingyu with a stiff smile. Zhufeng smiled slightly and arched his head, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lao Huang obviously had never received this kind of treatment, and became more and more stiff. He looked around and smiled dryly: "Oh, this place...it's all dried up this year."
Zhufeng also sighed, "If God is causing trouble, I can't blame you."
These words made Lao Huang, whose brows were a little tense, feel relieved a lot, and he suddenly became more relaxed when he spoke, "Yes, God is damning, I think people are going to die this year." It was like this when we first arrived in Mengxia, and the crops behind us were like this.
If the seeds are planted, the situation may get worse.
"Don't give up until the end. The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. There is always a way." Zhufeng comforted patiently.
Old Huang laughed and asked Old Liu Tou: "Then are you going to identify the land now? Where else are you going?"
"You still have to go to Dachangpo, where there are a lot of places with Japanese characters."
"Oh, it's just a little hot, so walk slowly."
Old Liu Tou waved his hand and left with Zhufeng and Qingyu. When they walked out of a field, Zhufeng asked Qingyu with a smile: "How is it? Is my new boss's style amiable enough?"
Qingyu smiled, but before he could say anything, Old Liu Tou asked, "Boss Zhu, I'm really curious about what you're going to do with buying so much land. You've also seen that the first crop of crops looked like this.
I’m afraid it will be even harder.”
"I plan to use these lands to grow medicinal materials." Zhufeng told Old Liu Tou without hesitation.
In fact, when he heard this plan, he was a little surprised, but he was very happy. He was known as the Changbai Mountain Medicine Fairy, and he had never grown any medicinal materials. In the past in Xuanmen, Changbai Mountain medicinal materials were the main source of revenue and expenditure within the sect.
He didn't expect it before because his thinking was limited. After all, he had made a living as a doctor in Chengyang County before, so he thought he would pursue medical practice when he came to Yinzhou.
But as the head junior sister said, a person's energy is limited. Although they are very capable, they only have one pair of hands. Even if they work day and night, their income is limited.
After hearing what he said, Old Liu Tou was surprised, "Boss Zhu actually knows about medicinal materials. Could it be that he is a doctor?"
Zhufeng smiled modestly and said, "I understand a little bit."
Old Liu Tou clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect Boss Zhui to be so secretive.
But your idea is quite rare, I have never heard of anyone using crop land to grow medicinal materials."
"Oh? Where do the medicinal materials used in the medical center come from?" Zhufeng was a little surprised. After all, Changbai Mountain only grew medicinal materials in the past.
"Most of them should be collected from the mountains. Some mountain farmers make a living by collecting herbs. They don't farm much. Maybe they grow some medicinal materials in front of their homes, but I don't think there are many. I haven't heard of anywhere like you.
That's dozens of acres.
Boss Zhu, you have chosen a strange path. Since ancient times, farmland has been planted with crops. If you ask them to grow medicinal materials, it may be difficult. Firstly, they won’t know how to grow them, and secondly..."
Old Liu Tou hesitated to speak, but Zhufeng and Qingyu understood what he meant.
...
Fifty acres of land, a total of thirty-two pieces of land, large and small, took nearly two hours to walk through. There were also thirteen tenant households, half of them were seen on the way to identify the land, and most of the others were not seen.
Old Liu Tou asked Xiang Zhufeng, "Of the remaining seven, does Boss Zhu intend to go directly to his home to meet them, or what? If you want to go now, I will take you there."
Zhufeng waved his hand, "There's no rush at the moment. It might be rude to come to my door suddenly. But Li Zheng would like to ask you to make an introduction."
"This is what it should be." Old Liu Tou agreed, and then led Zhufeng and Qingyu to Li Zheng's house.
Li Zheng lived in Pingpo Village, and all the households in the area were under his control. When Zhufeng and Qingyu arrived, he was mediating the conflict between the two families in the village. When Qingyu entered the hospital, he happened to hear
A woman shouted at the top of her lungs,
"This dog is mine. Everyone knows that it can give birth to puppies wherever it wants. Why does it become yours if it comes to your house and gives birth to its puppies?"
Another man's voice was louder, "I gave it good food, drink, and shelter, and it was willing to recognize me as its master. What can I do? Now this dog doesn't recognize you and won't go back with you, and I didn't leash it.
