EBE Chapter 21 Buying Land
Chapter 21 Buying Land
Guo Xin, who had decided to open a duck blood vermicelli soup stall, naturally had to prepare something for it.
But it is impossible to maintain the stall by myself alone. I need Daya's help. But there are only Sanya and Sidan at home making taro chips, so I am more or less worried.
Besides, even though my uncle hasn't made any trouble for a long time, I don't know if he is up to something big, but he is still a threat.
Besides, San Ya and Si Dan cannot do farm work all the time. They need to learn something. Children of this age should learn something the most.
After much thought, I decided to put the purchase of land on the agenda.
But before putting it on the agenda, you should first check how your greenhouse is built, as it is a treasure that can make you rich in the winter.
The place is not far from the house and can be reached by walking.
From a distance, you can see a row of earthen walls as high as a person standing there.
Liu Erge, who was standing on a high place, saw Guo Xin at a glance and waved his hand happily, "Erya, you are here."
Guo Xin also waved back, slowly walked over and asked, "How long will it take to finish building this?"
Brother Liu Er naturally didn't know very well, as he was just a helper. If he wanted to know how long it would take to complete the construction, he still had to ask Guo Lizheng's family.
Seeing that his second brother had been silent, he smiled at him reassuringly and went to find Guo Lizheng on the other side.
"Li Zheng, how long will it take to repair this?"
The wind was cold, but beads of sweat were still dripping from the village head's forehead. Hearing this question, he wiped the sweat off his head and panted slightly: "It should be ready in about two days. Then paste the paper you bought on it. There are also many openings on the south side."
The village head looked at the wall and asked, "Er Ya, what are you planning to do? This is the first time in my life that I've seen someone fence off a field. It's so troublesome to grow vegetables like this, and it costs money."
Guo Xin smiled but said nothing. Seeing that she remained silent, the village head did not ask any more questions. After all, this was someone else's family matter.
The village chief was about to go back to the fields, but Guo Xin stopped him and said, "Village chief, I want to ask what is the procedure for buying land in the village?"
When the village head heard the word "buy land", his pupils shrank slightly.
What did Erya do? She actually asked about buying land. It's a famine year now, and her parents just passed away not long ago.
It’s good enough to be able to survive the famine, but this girl not only built walls and harvested taro, but now she even has to buy land.
My goodness, even if I boarded Rufangzhai’s ship, I couldn’t become this rich.
He felt a little embarrassed on the surface and a little sour in his heart. It would be great if he could also get in touch with Rufangzhai.
But Erya is an orphan after all, and was bullied by her uncle's family before. Now she has finally stood up on her own with her own abilities. It can be said that she has finally gotten through all the hardships. She feels a lot better when she thinks about it.
The village head asked in a friendly manner, "Do you want to buy land?"
"Yes, if we rely on our family alone to make taro chips, it will be very hard, so we want to find some people to help make taro chips. However, making it at home is not a long-term solution, so we want to build a house outside. Besides, the taro that Brother Guo helped to collect has filled up the backyard in recent days, and there is no place to put things at home."
The head of the village was still confused at this time. He wanted to build a workshop.
At this moment, the bitterness in his heart was flowing again, but he still had to keep up appearances, and continued to ask gently, "Then this should be a workshop, and it doesn't have to be counted as farmland. If you just pick the land in the village that is designated for building houses, it will be much cheaper, about five taels of silver per mu. Do you want such a large land?"
Guo Xin calculated the area in his mind. Although he didn't need so much now, he would probably still need it if he wanted to expand the scale in the future.
In this case, it would be more convenient to buy it all at once. If you buy it later and the land cannot be connected together, wouldn’t it be more troublesome?
“Then buy one acre.”
Seeing Guo Xin being so straightforward, the head of the village couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the family had actually stood up after the parents left.
"Which land do you want?" After saying that, he suddenly remembered that he was not at home and the map was not in his hand. How would Erya know where he wanted if he asked this question?
As he thought about it, his ears turned red. He scratched his head with his hand and said, "You don't know which lands there are now. Why don't you come to my house later and discuss it?"
Guo Xin was naturally not in a hurry, especially since she also had to prepare for the duck blood vermicelli soup stall.
"Okay, there's no rush. You go ahead and do your work first, Li Zheng."
……
Mo Feifei looked at Qingluan who came to report and sighed deeply.
"Oh my god, this ancestor is really going to give me a hard time."
Qingluan also looked at Mo Feifei with an embarrassed expression, but it seemed that this was not the first time that His Highness had given the shopkeeper a difficult problem.
Mo Feifei looked at Qingluan with a sad face: "Qingluan, do you think Miss Guo would agree to be His Highness's cook?"
Qingluan has been following Mo Feifei for many years and has learned a lot about judging people. In her opinion, this girl would definitely not agree to be His Highness's cook. However, since the job has not been done yet, how can she boost others' morale and avoid her own prestige?
So she leaned forward slightly, lowered her head and said, "Of course I can."
Mo Feifei watched Qingluan's movements. Whenever she lied, she liked to lean forward. She probably didn't even notice this little movement herself.
But she couldn't make things difficult for Qingluan. After all, this was a mission assigned by His Highness. No matter how difficult it was, she had to do it and give an explanation to His Highness.
Thinking of this, he began to blame his master. No matter how much he loved freedom, he could not cultivate His Highness's personality. Even if he did not raise him as the Third Prince, he should at least raise him as an ordinary prince.
He tapped the table with his fingers, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Whether it works or not, I still have to go and discuss it with the girl first."
"If the girl doesn't agree, I still have her taro chips business. If she agrees, I can buy it back from her at a high price."
"It's just that I promised before that I could buy back the taro chips at a high price, and using this to threaten the orphans is really not in line with my style."
Qingluan on the side nodded repeatedly. After all, her boss really used this restaurant to provide a lot of help to many orphans and women. He was a great philanthropist, and she was one of the beneficiaries.
Mo Feifei continued, "If the young lady does not agree, then we can ask this young lady to come to His Highness's residence and cook for two days every ten days. Or we can ask His Highness to come here, after all, he likes this cook so much."
Qingluan, who was nodding in agreement, was shocked when she heard this. Is the shopkeeper crazy? That's His Highness, how could he come to this remote corner? It's already remote enough in Suining City, and only because of the favoritism of that man and the shopkeeper's master did he agree.
"Shopkeeper! This is not good..."
Mo Feifei stood up and waved her hand nonchalantly: "What's wrong with this? You can eat fresh and delicious dishes here. For Your Highness, that's really great."
