"Hello Mr. Tong! The junior Li Ziyu is polite! Li Ziyu, as a junior, first gave Tong Mu a salute to show respect.

Tong Mu was stunned when he saw Li Ziyu, as if he didn't expect it to be such a little girl. Seeing Li Ziyu so polite again, she couldn't help but nod secretly. said polite words: "It's easy to say, Miss Li is generous and polite, but she is rare and smart!" ”

After the greetings, Tong Mu said to Lin Tianshu and Li Ziyu: "Lord Lin, Miss Li, please go to the Zhuangzi Cottage to sit down for a while, I will introduce my Zhuangzi to Miss Li in detail, and also let Miss Li have a number in her heart." ”

Lin Tianshu glanced at Li Ziyu, and Li Ziyu nodded in agreement.

The cold wind blows here, and it is not a place to talk about things. So, the group walked a few steps to a house with a high courtyard wall.

The house was on the westernmost side, next to the river. It seems that it should be the residence of Tong Mu in Zhuangzi, and the main house is three large rooms facing south and back. In the middle of the house is a small living room and kitchen, and the east and west rooms are two bedrooms, typical of northern architecture.

There are three rooms in the east and west wings, the east wing is a guest room, and the west wing is a guest room and study. In the place near the south gate, there are three inverted seats, which are also gatehouses.

In the southwest corner is the latrine, and next to the latrine are the livestock shed, the carport and the firewood house. What satisfied Li Ziyu the most was that there was a well in the southeast corner of the courtyard. The surrounding area is made of bluestone slabs, and a high platform is built with blue bricks. A pavilion was built with wood on top of the well, and below the pavilion was a shelf facing the well. A thick hemp rope was wrapped around the handle, and an iron buckle was attached to the top of the hemp rope. Used to tie buckets.

Bu Jiu, Lin Xing, and the two servants were arranged in the east wing by Tong Mu's servant, and the things discussed below were not suitable for them to be present.

Tong Mu, Lin Tianshu and Li Ziyu entered the small living room of the main house, which was set up with red nanmu tables and chairs, exquisite tea sets, tea cans and other items.

After everyone was seated. A neat woman in her thirties came over with a tea tray, carefully brought the freshly made tea to everyone, and then respectfully withdrew.

Tong Mu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to everyone: "Lord Lin, Miss Li, this is the 'Winter Slice Tea' that was just picked a year ago. The amount is very small, and the taste is not bad. You taste it. ”

When Li Ziyu heard that it was freshly picked tea, she felt very fresh. Is it possible to pick fresh tea leaves in winter? I picked up the tea cup and put it in front of my nose and smelled it gently, and suddenly a rich aroma entered my heart and spleen, and I felt comfortable all over my body. I couldn't help but take a sip gently, but I didn't expect the tea to be sweet and mellow. For a long time. It's evocative.

"Ah, Brother Tong, your tea is so fragrant! No, you have to give me some, such a good tea has hooked out all my cravings, you can't hide it. After Lin Tianshu drank the tea, he immediately thought about the tea leaves. Such fragrant tea, if he didn't rob it, it would be a fool.

Tong Mu seemed to have known that Lin Tianshu would say this. He pushed a fine ceramic tea pot at hand: "Now, it's all here." You take it. ”

Lin Tianshu hurriedly hugged the tea can, as if someone had robbed it, and smiled happily: "Haha, I know that Brother Tong is interesting enough." Okay, well, when you go back to the south, I will treat you to a big meal before leaving, and you won't get drunk! ”

"But don't you have to pay attention to your current identity, when can't you drink? It's not like I'm not coming back, and when you take off your official position, let's get drunk again. ”

"It's a deal!"

Li Ziyu held the teacup with a smile and took a sip from time to time, not in a hurry. The two of them will definitely change the topic when they have enough greetings, and they must master everything to a degree. It's just that the mastery of this degree is a technical job, and not everyone can control it.

The two people in front of them are obviously middle and high masters, they just want to use the topic of tea to enliven the atmosphere, where will Lin Tianshu lack this just a pot of tea?

Sure enough, Tong Mu opened his mouth first: "Lord Lin, since you brought it here today, I will also say a real price, including Zhuangzi and people with a total of seven hundred taels." Miss Li, what do you think? ”

Li Ziyu didn't say yes or no, and asked, "Mr. Tong, how many acres of land do you have in this Zhuangzi?" How many families are there in this village? Are they your house slaves or tenants you hire? How many young and strong laborers are there? How many elderly people and children are there? Do you have a roster here? ”

Tong Mu's face changed slightly with Li Ziyu's various questions, and finally became solemn and admiring. He took out a notebook from the drawer of a desk behind him, handed it to Li Ziyu and said, "Miss Li, this is the list of all the people in this Zhuangzi. They are not my domestic slaves, they are vagrants that I have hired. But they have signed an employment contract with me, but the contract hasn't expired yet. I want you to still hire them, because if they lose their jobs, they may not even have a place to live. ”

Li Ziyu took the roster, her fingers lightly tapped on the table, and she didn't speak. She was waiting for the child pastor to explain further.

Lin Tianshu leaned back in the chair, sipping tea with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

"This Zhuangzi has a total of one hundred and two acres, and it is counted as one hundred acres. Good fields are generally ten taels of silver per acre, and medium fields are worth seven or eight taels of silver per acre. I have good farmland, but the price is based on medium farmland. So, Miss Li, I sold it to you at a loss. If it weren't for the family's urgent need for money, I wouldn't have sold it so cheaply. Miss Li, give me a happy word, do you like it or not? ”

Li Ziyu summed it up in her heart and felt that it was still a good deal. She just looked at the quality of the soil, and the good good field is not good, but it is better than the medium field. Coupled with the river in the west of the village, it is actually quite cheap for 700 taels.

The most important thing is the tenants in the village, and it is better to be cooked than to be cooked. The tenant here must be familiar with the situation in the field, and she has to worry about hiring people elsewhere.

"Good! I bought this Zhuangzi! Only, I would like to ask, how long is the contract between you and the tenant? How is the split between you decided? Also, are the tools of production used by the tenants their own or did you buy them for them? ”

Although Li Ziyu decided to buy it, there are still some things that have to be figured out. After all, she didn't know much about these tenants, was there a thorn in the middle? Is there any malpractice? What I planted this year is a seed, so I can't miss it a little.

Tong Mu saw that what Li Ziyu said was the Tao, and it was all in expert language, and he couldn't help but be impressed by this little girl.

At first, he didn't pay attention to this little girl, thinking that the family environment was good enough for her to go out to exercise. Anyway, I am selling land, as long as I can afford the price, who will buy it differently?

His Zhuangzi has been hanging in the Chinese for a long time, but he can't sell it. If you want to say that there are a lot of rich people in Nanhui County, anyone can afford to buy such a Zhuangzi. But the richer the family, the more their own Zhuangzi, who has nothing to buy Zhuangzi?

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to meet Master Lin, and after knowing that he wanted to sell Zhuangzi, he came to Zhuangzi and looked at it carefully a few times, saying that he would find a buyer for him, and it would be difficult for him to sell Zhuangzi. (To be continued......)
