Chapter Twenty-Seven: Persuading Grandpa to Buy Wasteland
At dinner, the family was full of praise for the braised pig, and the family said that they would make more of these in the future, cheap and delicious, Yang Yun raised her hands and feet to agree. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Who let come to Haoguo for so long is too short of meat to eat, so don't don't put the pig in the water and not meat. On the second day, Aunt Li also came to ask how to put the braised pig into the water, and Yang Yun told her without reservation that the most important step in the pig water is the way of cleaning, as long as it is clean, there is no smell.
Yang Yun did not keep all the information in this way, but also thought that many people in Zhoujia Village were short of meat to eat, but what Yang Yun didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Zhoujia Village to learn to cook delicious pigs into the water, and the pigs on the meat stalls were in short supply, and the butchers also began to put away copper plates under the pigs, which were given away for free before. Yang Yun was also happy when she knew this, at least everyone had meat to eat, and Yang Yun didn't plan to make money by selling pigs into the water. Farmers should honestly farm and develop industry is the last word.
After dinner, Yang Yun packed up the dishes and chopsticks, moved a small stool to the yard, and sat down next to her grandfather, who was still weaving bamboo mats, to discuss the purchase of land with him. Grandpa recently started to weave bamboo mats again when he was free, and it was always difficult to sit and eat empty mountains at home.
"Grandpa, let's buy some land and come back and plant it."
"Yun girl, our family has no silver, and now no one has come to order the bamboo mat business, and the few taels of silver left at home should be kept for emergencies, and our family doesn't know how to spend this winter."
"Grandpa, Xiao Yun knows that there is no paddy field in the village to buy, let's buy some wasteland, although it can't produce anything, but the land must be raised first, and it can become fertile land after a long time."
"Alas! Our family originally had five acres of wasteland, has been planted with corn and sweet potatoes, the first three years of harvest was not good, these two years began to produce some production, who knew that something happened to the family, the land was sold, grandpa thought of selling the land, were several nights sleepless. "Yes, land is the lifeblood of farmers, and selling land is like selling one's life.
"So grandpa, we should buy wasteland first and come back to raise, Xiao Yun asked the people in the village, if it is a wasteland opened by himself, one mu can get a land certificate as long as you pay two taels of silver land tax, and you can be exempted from taxes for the first three years." With such good conditions, there are still not many people in Haoguo who are willing to open up wasteland, because even if it is a good paddy field, because the quality of the species is not good, there is still no good yield, and a large number of farmers are unwilling to reclaim wasteland.
"The grandfather you said knows it, but you also saw that there are two laborers at home, grandfather and your brother, and how many years will it take for the two people to open up a few acres of wasteland." What Grandpa said also makes sense, there are many weeds on the wasteland, and there are many stones, and the old and young in the family don't know how long it will take to open an acre of land.
"What you said to grandpa, grandpa knows that it is for the good of the family, but you also have to take into account the situation at home, if the rest of the silver is used to buy land, the family will not be able to live this winter." Alas! Grandpa has been hit by this realistic society so much that he has flinched. Perhaps the simplest request in front of grandpa is to ensure that the family can survive this winter without starvation.
It seems that there is no way to convince grandpa at the moment, why not find a time to ask the villagers to see if anyone wants to sell the wasteland, although this idea is a bit ridiculous, but it is not only a feasible way. If you buy the wasteland directly, you can directly grow food as long as you find someone to help you plow the land. Yang Yun decided to go to the village tomorrow to inquire. Maybe God will take care of herself, Yang Yun feels that since she came to Haoguo, in fact, God still favors her, from selling bamboo mats and saving Yang Yong from the Zhou landlord's house, it is a success. The rest of the family didn't have any opinions on the purchase of land, but Yang Yong, who was sitting next to him and listening to Yang Yun's words, pondered.
The next day, Yang Yun got up and went to the front mountain to fetch a few bundles of firewood and came back, and after breakfast, he took Yang Xuan to the wasteland group in the village, the village planning of Zhoujia Village is still good, the villagers' houses are built together, and there is no east and west, I heard the old people in the village say that there were wolves in the village, and the previous Lao Li Zheng asked everyone to build all the houses together, and now the location of the village house group is on the road out of the village. Lao Lizheng also let the villagers put a circle of wooden fences around the village houses, so as to increase the arrangement of the villagers, who made Zhoujia Village surrounded by mountains, I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.
The wasteland group and paddy fields of Zhoujia Village are at the foot of the back mountain, there are villagers there to farm there on weekdays, and there is a river passing through Zhoujia Village from the mountain on the side of the main back mountain, the water source is very sufficient, and it is very convenient to use the paddy field to divert water. And there are people at the foot of the mountain every day, so Yang Xuan and Xiaobao and their children are digging wild vegetables in the back mountain. The forests on the left and right mountains are rarely visited on weekdays, and the trees on them are very lush, and there are many wild fruits, but no one dares to go to those two mountains and forests, even the hunters in the village rarely go. People are a little afraid of the unknown.
"Xiao Xuan, do you remember where our family's wasteland used to be?"
"Remember, Xiao Xuan went to the field to bring water to grandpa."
"Then let's go to the wasteland."
"Sister, that land is no longer our family, so don't go." Yang Xuan thought that Yang Yun had forgotten that the land had been sold, and his little hand gently pulled the corner of Yang Yun's clothes, reminding her that the land no longer belonged to their family. Yang Xuan's tone was a little sad when he said this. A five-year-old child also understands in his heart that what once belonged to his family is now lost.
"My sister knows that the land has been sold, so she just went over and saw whose family is planting the land now."
"Xiao Xuan knows who is planting our family's previous land."
"You know that." Yang Xuan actually knew this, but Yang Yun was a little surprised.
"What Xiao Xuan knows, it's planted by the fat family."
"Did Grandpa tell you that?"
"No, after grandpa sold the land, Xiao Xuan secretly came to the field to see a few times, and several times saw Fat Pang and his father working in our field, once Xiao Xuan came to the field to see, Fat Pang met Xiao Xuan and came to the field, so he told Xiao Xuan not to come to the field in the future, the land has been sold to their family."
Yang Xuan scratched his head a little embarrassed, probably because the land had been sold to others, and he was reluctant to sneak to the field to look at the land, feeling that he was a little stingy. The more reason is that there is a daddy figure in this land. In Yang Xuan's former memory, he often came to bring water to his father who worked in the field, so he secretly ran to the field to watch, and the figure of the other children's father working in the field could make him remember that there was a busy and familiar figure in that field.
(Bird Bird asks for recommendation votes, asks for clicks, asks for collections.) Bird Bird actually knew that they wanted to see Yang Yun farm and make a fortune, but Yang Yun's brother didn't have a good hand to farm, and Yang Yun's family didn't have the money to buy land now. )
