Chapter 383： different from expected

Boss Zhou stood aside, "Mother, Jinzhou City is really lively."

Zhulan turned around and said, "You don't have to accompany me, you can also go out for a walk."

Boss Zhou shook his head, Dad said, he and the second child can't both leave, and there should be at least one person by Mother's side.

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

Outside, Zhou Shuren's words are the best!

At noon, Zhulan ordered a table of local famous dishes. The taste of Jiangnan is relatively mild. Zhulan likes to eat shrimp specially ordered. Yes, there are also crabs. Although the season for eating crabs is over, they are still sold.

Boss Zhou has eaten it. Although it takes a lot of effort to eat crabs, the taste is really good. After eating two, he has mastered the skills of eating crabs. "Mother, let's go home and buy some for Dad to taste!"

Zhulan, "I'm dead when I get home, so I can't eat it."

Zhou Lao Er said, "Mother, it won't work if you freeze it?"

Zhulan kept her smile. This is not because it can be sealed and frozen in modern times, but not in ancient times. Zhulan said, "Didn't you say that there are dried shrimp and dried fish in the market? You can buy some of these."

Zhou Lao Er knew that Mother didn’t come back, so that was no good. When Zhou Lao Er thought about it, he was still in the south for the first few days when he returned to the city. The crab died and stinks before it froze, “Mother, listen to you. ."

Zhulan finished eating, "I'll go back to rest first. In the afternoon, I'll also go out for a walk. Second child, you and Steward Ding go to Yaxing and ask Zhuangzi and the land."

Zhou Lao Er glanced at his elder brother, suppressed the joy in his heart and responded quickly, "Yes."

Although my mother didn't say it clearly, but after going out, she always asked him and Steward Ding to do things all the way, and he had a guess in his heart. Now he and Steward Ding are responsible for inquiring, which is different from directly telling him that he will be responsible for the property in other places in the future. the same.

Zhulan glanced at Zhou Er. Even if she made Zhou Er take charge, she would not let him take full responsibility. Too smart people are not good. Now the identity of the Zhou family has just changed for less than a year, and Zhou Er is in urgent need. Proving that she didn't dare to make false accounts, but after getting used to her identity and having a responsible industry, she was really worried about Zhou Er Er. Zhou Er Er became more and more confident, and her courage would only increase.

Especially since Zhou Laoer's son is still too young, and Zhou Laoer is currently relying on himself, it is inevitable that he has the guts to make false accounts.

Zhulan didn't want to test her human nature, so in order not to make trouble for herself, she might as well cut it from the root. Zhulan looked at Zhou Er Er with a deep smile, and then glanced at Zhou Boss, who lowered her head to eat crabs, and then Zhu Lan turned around and went back to the upstairs room. .

Butler Ding lowered his head, the second master is shrewd, but it is really not enough for the master and the mistress. He realized it in half a year. It is best not to play tricks in front of the mistress and master, and don't think that the uncle is not shrewd, but master and master Mom really likes it.

He has experienced resale and doesn't want to bother, just wants to do things well, anyway, as long as he works seriously and obediently, the mistress treats them well.

Moreover, he is very satisfied with the present, whoever sees him in Lizhou City will not call him Ding Ye!

Boss Zhou saw that Second Younger Zhou was looking at him. He was not jealous. He was also afraid that the foreign industry would fall on him. After he figured it out, he wanted to guard his father and mother and filial piety to his son. .

In the afternoon, Zhulan rested. Zhulan took Boss Zhou and Liu Ya to go shopping. It was rare to come to the south. Zhulan had long been thinking about embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River, especially double-sided embroidery.

Zhulan took out 10,000 taels when she went out this time. When she split the account, Zhulan kept 7,000 taels in her hand. This time, she brought them all out. Originally, the Zhou family’s account was 5,600 taels. After 1,800 taels, the watermelon and apples were sold and the money came again. After deducting the expenses, the total was 5,000 taels. The bamboo orchid brought out 3,000 taels, and the family kept 2,000 taels.

Zhulan decided to buy two Zhuangzi, one Zhuangzi in her name and one Zhuangzi in Zhou Shuren's name.

In the embroidery workshop, Zhulan looked at the double-sided embroidered screen very rarely, and was really jealous, but the price was too touching. The double-sided embroidered screen on the floor was over a thousand taels, and the screen that Zhulan liked started at a hundred taels.

Zhulan endured the pain and bought two small screens, as well as some fans and handkerchiefs, and spent more than 300 taels in Xiufang.

Boss Zhou breathed hard, it was too valuable, "Mother, did we buy too much?"

Zhulan replied, "Not much, I only save the dowry for your eldest and younger sisters, not for Yushuang and Yulu!"

Zhulan doesn't hide the usual things from Boss Zhou now. She will tell Boss Zhou when she catches up. If she says it now, it can be considered as telling Boss Zhou directly. She has saved a dowry for Xuemei, although she doesn't need to tell her sons, but this It is also the trust in Zhou Boss.

Boss Zhou's first reaction when he heard the news, he grinned and smirked. The parents were strict with their brothers and sisters, but they still thought about them. In response, he also has a daughter. The daughter can't expect her parents to get married. He and the Li family have to prepare some. After thinking about it, he and Li's money will buy a few screens for the daughter!

Zhulan went to the fabric store to buy some cloth, and then went to the grain store to buy some lotus seeds, barley, etc.

All the things I bought were delivered to the inn, sealed in boxes, and taken away when I went home.

As for some dried fish and dried shrimp, just buy them when they go.

Zhulan returned to the inn, as well as Zhou Lao Er and Butler Ding. Zhulan sat down and rested for a while before asking Did you understand? "

Zhou Lao Er said: "Zhuangzi has it, but it's not too big, the largest is less than 200 mu, and the small one is 100 mu, and there is no piece of land, it's all scattered fields of several mu."

Boss Zhou asked, "The information about Yaxing is all available. Have you asked about the nearby county seat?"

Zhou Lao Er nodded, "I asked, what I know is the situation of the entire Jinzhou Zhuangzi. As for the land, it is only the situation near Jinzhou City."

Zhulan asked, "Have you asked about the price?"

Zhou Lao Er breathed in his heart, "Mother, the price of land in the south is more expensive than that in the north, because two seasons can be planted a year, 10 taels per mu of dry land, 14 taels per mu of paddy field, Zhuangzi has the main yard, There are houses built for tenants, the largest Zhuangzi has 200 acres of land, including the house and other 2,300 taels, and the smallest Zhuangzi has 100 acres of land, 1,300 taels.”

What Zhulan wants to buy is a big Zhuangzi starting from 400 mu. The bigger the Zhuangzi, the more stable the income, but the smaller Zhuangzi's income fluctuates more.

Zhulan didn't want to go further south. The more densely populated the population went, the smaller Zhuangzi would be. Of course, there are some remote places in the south, but the roads are not easy to go, and it is difficult to buy and transport, so why not live in Jinzhou City? The transportation is convenient and the land is fertile.

In the future, the Dazhuangzi will be bought in the north, who makes the northern population sparse!

Zhou Lao Er asked, "Mother, shall we go see it tomorrow?"

Zhulan said, "Look, you go make an appointment with Yazi, and go there early in the morning. You don't need to look at the small villagers, just look at the big villages of two hundred acres."

Zhou Er, "Hey!"

Zhulan thought to herself, although there is a gap between reality and expectations, it is not bad to be able to buy it.
