Chapter 105: Reclamation 1
readx;??? Zhao Liu knew that they were coming today and didn't go out, but when he saw them coming, he smiled and warmly invited them into the house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lian Fangzhou had already thought through this matter last night, and on the way here, he discussed it with Lian Ze and A Jian, and made deliberations and additions, basically there would be no more mistakes. At this time, it was also fast to talk to Zhao Liu.
Lian Fangzhou planned to hire thirty young and strong laborers and rent twelve oxen, and when the time came, they would personally watch the people work, take care of lunch, and the wages would be calculated according to what had been agreed before; The owner who hired twelve oxen, including a full plough and a harrow, hired the cattle to drive the cattle was two cents a day, but two days later than the laborers. Zhao Liu, as an intermediary, gave a total of four taels of silver for the introduction fee, and as for the hired workers, they didn't care how he took commissions from others.
She only asked the people Zhao Liu found to be able to work hard.
Introducing such a business, as a middleman, Zhao Liu, who should have taken the intermediate fee from Lian Fangzhou, was two taels of silver, and Lian Fangzhou gave him double the money, he was naturally happy in his heart, and promised that the people he found for her must be reliable people, please rest assured!
The two sides said that Zhao Liu would take the hired people and cattle to Shiping the day after tomorrow, and the three of Lian Fangzhou left the Zhao family.
Coming out of Zhao's house, Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Let's go see the donkey!" If it's right, buy it today! By the way, I will buy some white noodles and pickles, meat and miso, and I will make lunch the day after tomorrow! Buy two more large tin teapots, and send them to the ground with some hot water when the time comes. ”
Naturally, steaming steamed buns and baking flatbread is the most convenient and affordable way to make lunch, but rice or something is too troublesome.
Ah Jian and Lian Ze naturally had no opinion, and the three of them inquired about the location of the livestock market and went over.
Even Fangzhou doesn't know how to choose livestock, but he doesn't want Ah Jian to do.
When the seller saw them, he asked if he wanted to buy a donkey, and some of the donkey sellers came up and said.
Naturally, he said that his mouth was like a river, his tongue was like a lotus, and he praised his own donkey as if there was nothing in heaven and on earth.
Ah Jian didn't speak, and didn't seem to listen much to what the seller said, but went to look at the donkey.
The donkey seller's eyes kept following him, and when he saw the parts he was looking at, his face changed slightly, he couldn't deceive people!
The three of them went round the cattle market, and finally spent twelve taels of silver to buy a very strong donkey.
"Sister, we also have donkeys at home!" Lian Ze looked like it so much, touched the shiny black fur, pulled the long donkey ears, and grinned.
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "I can hand it over to you and Che'er in the future, there is not much forage in winter, don't make our donkeys hungry!" After a while, we'll have to buy two big ploughing cows! ”
Lian Ze nodded happily, promising that he would never let the donkey go hungry.
The three of them laughed and went to the car dealership to look at the car.
There are all kinds of cars in the car dealership, you can buy ready-made ones or customize them.
Even Fangzhou didn't want to be too troublesome, and there was no need to customize, so he spent eight taels of silver on the spot and bought a car made by fir wood with a very good explanation.
This car is different from Liu Jia's. Liu Jia's car is a carriage type, and the main reason why they bought this one in Fangzhou is to do farm work and transport things conveniently in the future, so it is an open wooden car, which is more elaborate and sturdy than the flatbed car pushed by man in the countryside.
The three of them then went to the blacksmith's shop, and made hoes, shovels, shovels, axes, wood knives, sickles, etc., and naturally the best materials were used.
There is a way that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the money above you can't be saved, and it shouldn't be saved.
After doing this, the three of them had lunch in the town, bought noodles, miso and other odds and ends, and went home.
Ah Jian drove the car very easily, the whip in his hand was raised high and gently lowered, whirring, but it did not fall heavily on the donkey. The hand holding the reins on the other side is even more free.
Lian Ze sat beside him and watched with envy.
Ah Jian smiled slightly, and said to him: "There is no time today, can I teach you later?" ”
"Really? Thank you, Brother Ajan! Lian Ze was surprised and delighted, and nodded again and again.
Back at home, Lian Che and Lian Fangqing learned that this was their own donkey and donkey cart, and they were even happier than Lian Ze, so they climbed into the car and sat for a while before jumping down, touching and looking around the donkey, smiling and squinting.
After unloading the car, Lian Fangzhou asked Lian Ze to lead the donkey to the backyard to be tethered, and even Fangqing and Lian Che also chattered with them.
The family has not raised cattle for many years, and there is no shed for livestock, Lian Ze felt sorry for the donkey, for fear that it would freeze at night, so he tied it to a corner of the utility shed built against the wall, and came back to tell Lian Fangzhou that he wanted to build a livestock shed. "Otherwise, how can you get by with such a cold winter?"
Lian Fangzhou naturally didn't say anything bad, and said with a smile that he would call someone to take him if he had free time these days. Not only should it be built, but it should also be used to build a better one, and in addition to the place where the cattle are concerned, there must also be a place to pile up hay and park the car.
The car was left in the open air, exposed to the wind and rain, and it broke down quickly.
By the way, the sundries shed was also rebuilt and sturdy, and firewood, farm tools, tools, and other miscellaneous things had to be put in place.
Early the next morning, the three brothers and sisters led the donkeys to graze on the river embankment next to the village.
After breakfast, Lian Fangzhou went to the entrance of the village alone.
There is a small stream that runs around the edge of Dafang Village, the narrowest part is only more than one meter, the shallow stream can be crossed by a tall stone in the middle, and the widest place is only more than three meters. At the entrance of the village, it made a big bend and flowed down the east.
At the back of this bend, about ten meters away from the river beach, there is a flat barren grassland three or four meters above the stream.
Lian Fangzhou went there and looked around, this barren grassland was about 20 acres, and it happened to be backed by a hill, and there were many camphor trees and wild magpies growing on the mountain.
Entering Dafang Village from the outside and bypassing this hill, you can see the whole picture of Dafang Village, and in a certain sense, this hill can be said to be the barrier of Dafang Village.
Even Fangzhou inquired, this wasteland is also a borderless land.
She had a plan in her mind to buy the land.
After the cotton harvest next year, you will definitely have to find a place to stack it. Where is there so much place to stack in that little home? That's why we had to build a big row of warehouses here.
In addition to the warehouse, there must be a workshop for handling cotton peaches, a spinning room for spinning cotton yarn, a warehouse for stacking cotton threads, and housing for workers.
If possible in the future, she also wants to build a workshop for weaving cotton cloth.
In this way, it is of course much more valuable to process cotton and sell it than to simply sell cotton. However, things have to come step by step, and what she is not capable of doing at the moment is just an idea in her head, not a plan.
Even Fangzhou was looking at it, and he heard someone behind him shouting, "Fangzhou!" She smiled slightly, and she didn't have to look back to know that it was Ah Jian.
