Chapter 31: The Apricot Family
86_86881Lin Yu remembered that he was looking for Uncle Zhu to ask about buying a field, looked out the door and asked, "Isn't Uncle Zhu at home?" Didn't even see him ......."
Apricot said quickly: "My father went up the mountain, Sister Xiaoyu, do you have something to do with my father?" ”
"Well, it's nothing, I just feel that Uncle Zhu often runs outside, he must know about buying a field and want to ask him, if he is not there, forget it" Lin Yu said with some difficulty, he can buy up to two acres of land with this money, and he can't get on the table at all in the eyes of rich people, at most, he only dares to ask Uncle Zhu in private, even if he feels that he is very close to Apricot and Grandma, she is a little embarrassed.
"Sister Xiaoyu, do you want to buy a field? That's great! Apricot was a little surprised, and then clapped her hands happily and laughed.
"Alas, be quiet" Lin Yu anxiously put her index finger to her mouth, and laughed and motioned to the apricot to be quiet, and before she could skim the eight characters, she preached it here, although there were only a few of them, but she was still a little embarrassed.
Grandma smiled and slapped the apricot lightly with her hand, and said, "You girl, your sister Yu'er hasn't said anything yet, you just shouted, and there is no one to open the door!" ”
Apricot stuck out her tongue, shrunk and looked out of the door, and saw that her mother was still in the stove room, and she didn't seem to hear it, so she whispered: "Sister Xiaoyu is going to buy a field, I'm not happy for her!" ”
As he spoke, he jumped to Lin Yu's side, took her arm and asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, do you really want to buy land?" Where are you going to buy it? ”
"I know you're happy for me, but I don't have a score yet, and I don't have any money, where do you think you can buy it?" Lin Yu pinched the apricot cheek, asked with a smile, and then said: "I just want to ask Uncle Zhuzi first, so that I can have a number in my heart, and then work hard to make money!" ”
"Well, you can't be in a hurry when it comes to buying land, you have to buy a favorite and suitable one, fish, how much do you want to buy? What's it like? If you want to believe grandma, grandma will give you a staff officer......" Listening to Lin Yu's words, grandma also smiled inquiringly on the side.
"Grandma, I must have believed you," Lin Yu hurriedly assured Grandma, and said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid of you laughing, I only have twenty taels of silver on hand now, but last time I heard Uncle Zhu say that our field here can be bought for seven or eight taels of silver, so I thought about asking Uncle Zhuzi if there is a precedent for buying one or two acres of land first......
"You want to buy that middle and upper class, right?" Grandma asked again, pondered for a while and said: "Most of these high-grade fields are in the hands of Qin Juren and the local tyrants and squires of Huaikou, they are angry and wealthy, and they have very little to sell, and if they are medium-class, they are in the hands of some wealthy families, and the low-grade fields and wasteland are mostly accounted for by ordinary people, and the latter three kinds of fields are more common to buy, but your twenty taels are indeed less, and it is easier to buy low-class fields and wasteland, but if you want to buy this middle-class and high-grade fields, it is estimated that it is enough."
"Milk, why?" Before the forest fish could ask, Apricot asked quickly.
"Why? You kid is still young, I don't understand" Grandma shook her head and smiled, seeing that the two little heads were very curious, she slowly explained: "This field is graded, not only to see the fertility of the land, but also to see the location, the location of the good field is mostly by the river, and it has to be easy to walk, it is convenient to pull fertilizer and irrigate, so most of the trading is in pieces, ten to twenty acres is considered to be less, the location of this medium field is a little worse, but the people who can buy and sell also like to buy and sell together, and the fields have to be next to each other, and it will not be too difficult to sprinkle fertilizer and irrigate, This kind of field is normal for ten acres of trade, but one or two acres of two or three acres is less, four or five acres also depends on luck to touch, and this is only a low-grade field and wasteland, one in the east and one in the west, one or two acres is more, and it is easy to buy, but it is not easy to buy in your hand to have food and clothing."
Grandma explained the pros and cons of these three kinds of fields to the two of them in one breath, Lin Yu secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, fortunately Grandma is a trustworthy person, and fortunately he came to ask first, otherwise he ran to Renyazi recklessly, and he must not be laughed to death
Although there is no such thing as a fertile field in modern times, there is no chemical fertilizer in this ancient world, and a qiē has to rely on farmhouse fertilizer, if you want to fertilize the field, the farmer generally has to save up their own fertilizer, never borrow, if it is not enough, you have to buy it in the city, and at this time there seems to be no farm specializing in raising livestock, at most it is to raise some chickens, ducks and pigs in your own home, fertilizer is very scarce, it is not easy to fatten a field, so the difference between fertile field and disease field can be seen from the silver.
Lin Yu suddenly thought that his money could not buy a field for the time being, so why not start with farming? Accumulate the original capital first, and then you can accumulate fertilizer, even if you haven't bought it by then, you can sell fertilizer, which is also an income!
But at this time, the pork is only eaten by poor people, and the general rich and noble families only eat chickens and ducks, she has some plans for a while, and she doesn't know what kind of animal to start with, thinking that grandma knows a lot, why not ask her first?
Then he asked: "Grandma, fortunately I asked you first, otherwise I will definitely laugh at me when I go out to inquire about others, you say that I don't have enough money now, can I raise some livestock first and then sell them?" ”
"Alas, your child has a hard life" Grandma heard it and knew that Lin Yu had changed his mind, it seemed that he was poor and afraid, no wonder he wanted to make money so much, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, this village family raised livestock for their own food convenience, there is a surplus or too short of money to think about selling, this special raising can be gone, one is the countryside to steal chickens and dogs, who want to raise chickens and ducks, these people are clear, every three or five have to come to sweep once, no one can do it every day at home guard, to have food and not to work in the fieldSecond, this animal is the most taboo to raise, easy to get plague in summer, easy to freeze to death in winter, don't say this pig, just say that this chicken and duck are not cheap, lose a dead one, which family can't howl for a long time?
But she also wanted to help the child, so she had to think about it carefully before saying: "Your family has no land now, if you really want to feed some livestock, it's not impossible, but you have to feed a few dogs first, and you have to make sure that someone is watching at home every day, and you must be careful of those who have a thief's heart." Seeing Lin Yu listening carefully, he said: "We here, the people who eat pork are some countrymen, who don't have the conditions to eat every day, but the size of the pig is large, compared to the words to be a little more assured, you can feed one or two first, chickens and ducks, rich people will eat, general restaurants and restaurants will also collect, it is much better than pork, however, chickens and ducks are small, one person can catch them, the chance of being remembered is greater, if you want to feed, you have to watch every day, one step is not far from people!" ”
Lin Yu nodded again and again, no wonder no one specializes in breeding, this is too worry-free, but thinking that there is no land to plant, although there are only three sisters and brothers in the family, it should be no problem to see a chicken and duck, it is better to try it boldly, isn't it said that the most bitter and difficult days of their family have passed, and the money in their hands is also in vain, even if it fails, it is just to start from scratch. But if you don't try, her family has been so tepid, and she still wants to send Qi'er to a private school, I heard that it costs a lot of money, and she has to save up his bundle money before he enters school.
After thinking about it, she asked Grandma carefully how to buy pigs, chickens and ducks, and asked for some feeding rules, and after Grandma told her one by one, she asked her not to worry about it, and then take her to buy it when Uncle Zhu came back
A few people chattered a lot, Lin Yu got up to say goodbye, went out and walked to the yard, Lin Yu saw that Ling'er and Qi'er were still playing with the bolt baby, so they walked to their side and beckoned them to go back, Apricot Niang was still in the yard to choose sorghum rice, when passing by her, Lin Yu politely called Auntie, Apricot Niang raised her head, smirked: "Yu'er, is this leaving?" Why don't you stay longer? My aunt is ready to make dinner, and I'll go back after eating."
"Aunt Xie, I still have something to do this time," Lin Yu also said politely.
"Yo~ Shouldn't it be a matter of going back to buy land? ~~Auntie can hear it just now~~ Congratulations to you here first~~~~" Apricot Niang distorted her words, raised her eyebrows and dragged her voice and smiled.
"Mother" Apricot who was following Lin Yu shouted with a dissatisfied face.
"Let the aunt see and laugh, Lin Yu can't afford to buy a field, but I'm just curious to ask Grandma, just now Apricot didn't understand, made a joke" I know she listened to the corner, but she didn't finish listening, Lin Yu explained with a smile.
"Look ~ you look ~ what I said ~ my aunt won't ask you to borrow money ~~ and be wary of me~~~" Apricot Niang looked incredulous, and said with a gossipy smile.
"If my aunt doesn't believe me, I can't help it, right?" Lin Yu also smiled, and didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he said again: "I really have some family affairs in my family that haven't been finished, so I won't talk to my aunt, next time, I'll talk to you."
After saying that, seeing that Qi'er and Ling'er were coming, he asked them to say goodbye to Apricot Niang, Apricot and Bolt Baby, and they were about to go back.
Apricot followed behind her and said that in a few days, when there is time, she will go to play with them, Lin Yu turned around and waved her hand to indicate that she knew, and when Apricot Niang saw that they were really gone, she couldn't help pouting behind her, and muttered: "It's also dragged", and then lowered her head and chose sorghum rice
