The next day, Lu Yunkai went out again.
Song Xintong took the twins to a farm outside the city, 50 miles from Lingnan City, and drove for about half an hour.
Because Jiang Mingzhao had already explained, when the four of them arrived, Chuang Tzu's Chuang tou came out and said, "please come inside, madam Lu."
Song Xintong followed him into Chuang Tzu. Although there were not many fields, Chuang Tzu's house was built very big, bigger than the second entrance courtyard where they lived. He estimated that it should be a third entrance courtyard.
"Liu Zhuangtou, I saw a lot of fields all the way. Is it the Chuang Tzu's outside?"
Liu Zhuangtou was an honest man. He knew that song Xintong had come to see the land, but he couldn't lie and cheat people. He said with a bitter smile, "Mrs. Lu, the land outside is only 20 or 30 mu of our Chuang Tzu's, and the rest is not."
"Where are the others?" Song Xintong, however, heard Jiang Mingzhao say that this Chuang Tzu has about 200 mu of land. There are dozens of mu of good land outside, and there are more than 100 mu of land?
"Behind Chuang Tzu." Liu Zhuang leader led song Xintong to go out to the side door, through a gravel path around to the back of Zhuangzi.
What is striking is a piece of farmland. The rice in the farmland has already been cleared, and now there is only a piece of straw left. Looking further away, you can still see the undulating mountains, green mountains and clear waters, which is very elegant.
"Mrs. Lu, the land is surrounded by mountains. It's easy to slide down gravel and dry soil on a Rainstorm Day." Liu Zhuangtou pointed to the edge of the place and said that this Chuang Tzu owner had long wanted to sell it, but no one would want this kind of land. Except for dozens of acres of fertile land outside, the land in the rear is not very fertile.
Song Xintong walked around and knew how Jiang Mingzhao's wife's brother was so kind-hearted and gave up the land at a low price. It turned out that the land was not good, the output was not as good as the good land, and it also took labor.
"Since the land is not good, how can your boss build such a large yard?"
Liu Zhuangtou said: "at first, the owner wanted to go up the mountain to hunt, but later found that there was no one on the mountain, and people in the city liked to go there to hunt, so it was shelved here. And the land is not very good, so... "
Song Xintong nodded, but she didn't ask much for good land to raise shrimps. The land was good enough. And this piece is wrapped in the mountains, but also confidential, good, good.
"Liu Zhuangtou, what's on the other side of the mountain?" Song Xintong asked.
Liu Zhuangtou said: "it's also a mountain. On weekdays, no one will go to the mountain to cut firewood except Zhuangzi people. The farmers on the other side of the mountain will not turn over. It's very steep and difficult to climb up. Even if they climb up, they won't come to us."
Song Xintong nodded. If he accepted this Chuang Tzu, half of it could be used to raise shrimp, the other half could be used to grow vegetables or food, or a variety of peppers. At that time, Lingnan city would not have to go back to the village to transport them.
"Where does your water come from?" Song Xintong asked again.
"We are introduced from outside," Liu said
Song Xintong nodded. Later, they still have grilled fish in the restaurant. If only they could dig a pool and raise it by themselves, just like the other side of Xinghua village, they could dig out two mu of land, and then they could put lotus roots and fry into it. They could produce their own fish and sell them for export, which was also an income.
After visiting the fields, it was almost noon, and the sun had a headache. Song Xintong went back to Zhuangzi and sat down in the hall to make flower tea with Liu Zhuangtou's wife.
The tea had just been brewed, but it was still very hot. Song Xintong put it aside and didn't drink it
When I entered Chuang Tzu just now, I saw two adult men. They were called Liu Zhuangtou's father.
"Yes, just our family." Liu Zhuangtou said, "as soon as this Chuang Tzu was built, we have been working in Chuang Tzu for almost seven years."
There are four people in the family, six capable people and four children.
Song Xintong is very surprised: "so all you do?"
"Yes, we did it all." Liu Zhuangtou said with pride: "seven or eight people are not as fast as us."
It's about 200 mu. There are six laborers and four small helpers. There's no need to hire outsiders any more. It seems that they can really work.
Song Xintong was very satisfied, and she was relieved to give it to the Liu Zhuangtou family.
Liu Zhuangtou looked at Song Xintong with a good face. He also asked these questions, and he was very happy. When song Xintong planned to leave, he also sent a lot of mushrooms they picked up in the forest.
"Girl, do you want these lands?" Big Ya asked.
"Yes, shrimp is just right."
"Sister, do you want a rabbit?" Asked the twins.
"Sister, we have to raise chickens and ducks." Xiao Bao thought that he had raised it at home, so he had to raise it here.
"It's no longer raised here. Our village can send it here." Song Xintong pause, "you can also raise some chickens and ducks, if you don't send them in time, you can come and buy them."
"Sister, how much money does it cost to buy it?" Asked Dabao.
"I don't know yet. I'll wait until I get back."
When he returned to Lingnan City, song Xintong went to Gu's mother's brother in the afternoon to talk about the land. "Mr. Gu, I've seen that piece of Chuang Tzu's land. Although it's flawed, the rest is OK. Look at the price..."
Mr. Gu said, "the price is very cheap. If it wasn't for my brother-in-law's sake, I would not sell it to you at all."
Bullshit. I can't make ends meet. I don't want it anymore.
But song Xintong still pretended not to know, "Mr. Gu, if we weren't in a hurry to buy the land, we might not have met you. It's fate that we met. You see, I'm also very sincere in buying your land. Can you give us less change..."
One thousand five hundred taels, less change? Mr. Gu hissed: "I have good land here. Now the fertile land in Lingnan city is about 921 mu. I'll give you all seven Liang, and I'll give you one hundred liang of the big house."
"Mr. Gu, you have a total of 200 mu of land, only 60 mu of good land. The rest of the land can only be medium-sized land at most. And when it rains in summer, all the rocks and clods slide into the fields."
"I think Mr. Gu has found many buyers, right?" Song Xintong said with a smile, "let's take a step back. You'll sell me the small change. I'll take over the place you don't want to see. It's only five hundred taels. It's not worth Mr. Gu's going to the number one building several times."
Mr. Gu thought about it and said impatiently, "well, well, for my brother-in-law's sake, I'll sell it to you at a low price."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Song Xintong said: "I have another request."
"You said," said Mr. Gu
"I want to sell myself to the Liu Zhuangtou family in Zhuangzi."
Mr. Gu can't remember Liu Zhuangtou at all. Now he takes the money ticket and wants to go to Yihong building to see Xiao Hong. He impatiently asks the boy around him to go back and get the deed of sale, and then asks song Xintong to do a new deed of land.
