The place was actually not too far away from Chen Nianran's home. Adjacent to it was a piece of sand. Seeing the sand filled with grass, Chen Nianran asked Village Officer with great interest, "Then whose family does the sand belong to? How come they're not human? It's such a pity to be abandoned like this! "
"Oh, that sand dune, it's from the village. Because I didn't get anything from it, no one wanted it." Village Officer casually replied.
Village Officer did not hesitate to gesture with his hands and fingers, "Not much, three silver taels for an acre."
Half wasteland with sand. It was not much, but it still cost two to one mu. No wonder no one wanted it anymore. One had to know that if one bought this sand field, they would also have to pay taxes. If they did not do it well, they would lose money.
Chen Nianran did not finish her words as she stood to the side and listened to what Huang De An and Old Xu Tou had to say.
When he had seen enough, Huang Dean nodded to Chen Nianran without anyone noticing. This field could be placed here. However, the price had to be discussed further.
Since it was a one-time sale and he was in a hurry to use it, the price of the land should be reduced a little.
Chen Nianran estimated that it would be feasible if the total price was reduced by another 10 gold.
Ten taels of silver should be enough to make a contract.
After a few people touched their heads, Huang De An told Village Officer and the Old Xu Tou the final price.
At first, the Old Xu Tou was not willing, but Village Officer wanted to make this a deal, so he tried to persuade his.
"Old man, look at this Huang brother's family. They also cherish their land. If he has your land, then you don't have to worry about it being wasted. You can always be at ease if he manages things as he pleases. Besides, you are in urgent need of money. There are people in our village who want to purchase land and the like, but the people in the East Family and West Family are scattered and your land is also scattered. How can you feel good when you see the field you have built with your own hands split up? What's more, with his personality, even if you find the yellow land in the village and buy it, he might not even be able to beat you in price. If I were to say, this would make Brother Huang's family, since we are all from the same village, how can we continue to have any personal feelings towards each other in the future? "
These words caused Old Xu Tou to be tempted.
In the end, after considering all these factors, Old Xu Tou still took a step back.
After both parties had agreed on the price, they would sign the contract.
This contract was also separated into two categories, one was an ordinary contract, and the other was a red contract.
If it was an ordinary contract, as long as both parties made the transaction, the contract would be done. Of course, the annual tax would have to be borne by the buyer. This kind of contract could save a bit of money from going to the government. However, there was one thing wrong with this kind of contract, and that was that if there were any more arguments about it in the future, the government would not admit it.
The red deed was different. The two parties had signed the contract, and sealed it with a finger mark. Village Officer and the others had even sealed it with a finger mark, and then passed it to the officials to settle. In the end, it was only after he had registered and settled down in the government office that the deal could be considered a deal.
Of course, there was a certain amount of tax to be paid, but this kind of contract was protected by the government.
With the issue of not causing trouble in the future, Chen Nianran didn't want to save so much money. She took out the money and let Huang De An and Village Officer go together.
After this was done, Chen Nianran thought that this would trouble Village Officer, so she had to treat treating someone to a meal as a form of celebration.
Therefore, after discussing it with Niu Shi, he decided to make a meal at home.
Actually, according to Chen Nianran's instructions, they could just directly order a table in town. However, Niu Shi said not to. With so many women in the family, it was not an easy task to set up a table.
"To what town? Eating at that place should be worth at least a tael of silver." Since we have the money, why don't we buy some good fish and meat and cook them at home. The rest can let our families be smeared with several days worth of meat. "If you want to go to the restaurant and eat, don't mention the money, there are still good dishes left."
Hearing Ox King's words, Chen Nianran did not have much people to think about, and there was not much time left. If he invited Village Officer and his family to dinner at his house, then he could invite his wife along. She would have to talk about another business at the dinner table.
"Yes. Then I'll go to the town now and buy the food. After they finish the contract, they can eat and drink."
He had decided that Chen Nianran would go buy vegetables in the town. Niu Niu didn't want her to go back and forth, so she called the little Fifth Sister over and the two of them drove the carriage to the town to pick the vegetables.
Niu Shi was a capable person, she was experienced in how to set up a banquet.
Chen Nianran thought that she also knew a few good dishes, so she went to the backyard to pick up some vegetables.
Many of the dishes he had planted a while ago were now ripe.
There were many cucumbers, pumpkin, vegetables, cabbage, celery and the like. Even if it was a tomato, Chen Nianran had planted some of it. Back then, when she bought this kind of child, the precious demon did not even want to buy it at all, little Fifth Sister. She only felt that it was not worth it to pay such a small price for a bag of seeds.
But Chen Nianran insisted on buying it. There was no other way it could be, she liked to drink tomato and egg soup.
Looking at the bright red tomatoes in the courtyard, Chen Nianran smiled in satisfaction. When they were in the business world, they took time to take care of this residence. Not only her, the two little Fifth Sister would also take care of this place.
If not for this, the garden would not have been able to grow well.
Looking at the railings around them, it must have been taken care of by the Niu couple during this period. The two of them were diligent. The crops in the field had not yet been planted, so they served the garden first.
The surrounding weeds were growing very little, and it could be seen that the garden was being served very well.
Chen Nianran picked a few tomatoes, cucumber, Green Rebel, and a few eggplants. She also picked a few more leaves and vegetables, then went back home and washed them and cut them into pieces.
Thinking about it, tomatoes could be made into two dishes. Together, they could be made into scrambled eggs. This dish was extremely attractive to children. This day, they were inviting Village Officer's family, because Village Officer's family still had children.
Invite Village Officer? The village chief must also be invited.
As for the Old Xu Tou s, they could not be left behind either. He calculated that he would be able to fill the seats with only one man. A woman has to have a table, and that's two tables.
If the dishes were too many and too few, it wouldn't make a good impression.
This was because there were some bacon and the like that were sent over by Guan Shuyuan.
Chen Nianran chose two pieces of colored fat meat and evenly washed it in the pot. With regards to these, cutting them out later would be the best wine cooking. The men were all at the table. Once they got drunk and happy, they would eat quite a lot of food.
After all this was done and the pot was boiled, Little Sister also came back jumping.
This guy then led the horse to slip away, casually playing with San Wazi and the others.
Just the few kids from Sister Fang were too used to her.
"Sis, I'm back. Hehe, I want to cook some meat." "Let me help sister light the fire."
Little Sister was a hardworking person who knew how to do things since he was young. This was the characteristic that a poor family's child was best at.
"You're going to have to treat us tonight. You have to be obedient and not run around." Chen Nianran rubbed her face.
She wanted to make more pancakes in the evening.
"Yeah, I know."
Seeing that there were still many dishes to be washed, the little guy took the initiative to ask to go by the river to look for vegetables.
"Sure, go ahead." Chen Nianran nodded.
skipped out as he received the order.
He happened to run into his new neighbor, Aunt Fu, by the river.
"Hello, Aunt Fu."
Aunt Fu, who was still washing her clothes, saw that the little guy looked rather cute, so she moved closer to her.
"Lil 'Six, come over to auntie's house and play if you have nothing to do. We also have a little kid and a little girl. When the house is built, we'll bring them all over. You and our little girl can have a partner as well."
Hearing that they were going to have a new friend, Xiao Liu was happy, so he asked a lot of questions about Aunt Fu's children.
"How old are they? What do they like best? Do they like horses? What do you like to eat the most? Do you like to eat sweets just like Lil 'Six? "
This bunch of questions made Aunt Fu laugh, but she still patiently explained them all to her.
Just as the two were chatting, they saw Village Officer accompanied a young man dressed like a scholar walking over from afar.
The two of them chatted as they walked.
The villagers were curious about strangers. Especially a child like the Little Sister, who was curious about everything.
"Aunt Fu, we have a scholar here too? I don't remember there being a scholar here. " This banana village was a real village.
Even though it was a large village, there were at least a thousand families, but there was still a long way to go. Some people even had to walk for two hours to get to the Village Chief's house for a meeting.
Of course, there were still benefits to having over a thousand households as a large village. I can hear a lot of chores.
"Oh, my son went to look for the village head a few days ago. He seems to have heard that our village partners are going to hire a scholar to teach. If they really did invite a scholar, then our village would be much more convenient in the future. That big kid of mine is already seven years old this year, so he just so happens to want to learn some things. "
Hearing that, the Little Sister pouted her lips.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Folin was surprised, "Yo, doesn't this little girl usually love these? Why is she unhappy now?"
"Lil 'Six looked at the village chief and the scholar listlessly." Ai, what's there to like about me? Even if I invited this scholar over, I still wouldn't be able to enter the academy. "They won't recruit girls, so people who don't study aren't interested." Since he had no prospects, he was not interested.
When the Folin heard this, she was also stunned.
