Chapter 156: Asking for trouble
The matter they discussed was about buying a barren mountain.
When she went to Luhuapo in the afternoon, she looked farther away and found that there was also a pond in the col not far from her lotus pond, and there was water in it.
There are also ditches on both sides of the road, and the water in them does not dry all year round, and according to Tan Debao, these waters are small tributaries of the Stony Creek River.
As long as the Stony Creek River continues to flow, the water in these small ditches will not dry up.
In this way, if you cultivate crops in the barren mountains, you will not have to worry about irrigation, and you will have spiritual spring water, which will come in handy at that time.
This deepened Qiduo's determination to buy barren mountains.
But Tan Dejin hesitated and said, "Duo, if we want to buy it, it is better to buy some fertile land directly to cultivate, although the price is higher, but it saves a lot of trouble." I don't know if these barren mountains can grow crops. ”
Xu also favored Tan Dejin's idea, saying, "Yes, Duo, your father has a point, but it takes time and effort to reclaim barren mountains." ”
Qiduo shook his head and said, "Father, mother, the price of good land is not only high, but it is not something you can buy if you want to, it depends on the opportunity." Sometimes, even if you have a field to buy, you may not be able to buy it next to our house, and it is also inconvenient to manage.
Luhuapo is not close to our home, and it is remote, no matter what is planted in the future, people must watch and manage, otherwise where can you rest assured. If we buy the barren mountains and gather them together, it is very convenient to work or manage, but it saves time and effort.
I've seen it, although the Luhuapo area is all barren, it is not a grassless soil. I want to start by planting crops like soybeans, peanuts, red beans, mung beans, and sesame seeds. They are not only the raw materials that our family needs. And they can also fertilize the soil. After planting one season, you can plant rapeseed, cotton and wheat in the next season, so it doesn't take much effort.
If we can buy all of it, and when the harvest is good and the benefits are good, we can build a large courtyard wall and build a house in it. How nice it would be to build a big estate.
Take another 10,000 steps back, and if the crops planted there are really not good, we can still plant trees. When the tree grows up, it can still be sold for money after it is cut down.
Anyway, we won't lose money. Also, the taxes on the barren mountains are much lower, which also saves a lot of money. ”
Tan Dejin and Xu fell into deep thought.
After thinking about it, I felt that Qiduo also made sense, and they were all gathered together to take care of. Moreover, the fertile land is not also planted after the barren land is reclaimed.
"Duo, so be it. Ming'er, let's take the time to ask the price of that barren mountain, if the price is right, let's consider buying the barren mountain, how about it? Xu said.
"Well, yes, but I may not be free tomorrow, so let's do it, Daddy, then you and the fourth uncle will go to inquire first, and then we will talk about it when we come back in the evening." Qiduo said.
"Why aren't you free tomorrow, where are you going?" Xu asked.
"Mother, the food city will open tomorrow, of course I have to stay all day." Seven flowers responded with a smile.
"Food City?" Xu asked suspiciously.
Qiduo and Xu Youxuan partnered to open a food city and finally made it clear to their parents, worried that they would block it when the time came, and they would have to bother to speak, anyway, they didn't need to spend money, but they could sell some ingredients in the past.
But now that Xu asked, Qiduo couldn't hide it anymore, and told the truth at the moment.
As soon as he heard that it was a spring breeze, Xu's face was pulled, his lips were pursed, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Tan Dejin saw it, and hurriedly said to Qiduo, "Duo, you, you know ......"
As soon as he heard this, Qiduo had a headache.
When he was about to refute, Xu Shi spoke first to stop Tan Dejin, "Dejin, don't count the flowers." ”
Then he turned his gaze to Qiduo, "Duo, you are an assertive, do whatever you want, my mother won't stop you." It's just that when you have any plans next time, say it to your father and mother, so that we can know in our hearts and know the way? ”
Qiduo scratched her hair and smiled, "Zhilu said, mother, I didn't say it, I'm just worried that you won't agree." Now that I have your words, I can rest assured, and if there is anything in the future, I will definitely discuss it with my father and mother first. ”
"Yes, good." Xu smiled gently and stroked her hair.
"Good." Liuju learned Xu's tone, and at the same time touched Qiduo's head, laughing and joking.
"Second sister, you laugh at me again." Qiduo smiled and touched Liuju's hair in turn.
The two sisters laughed.
"Ahem!" Tan Dejin suddenly cleared his throat, looking like he wanted to say something.
"Deggin, what's wrong with you? Whatever you want to say, it's all your own family, and there's nothing to hide. Xu raised his eyes to look at him and snorted softly.
The three sisters also set their eyes on their father to see what he wanted to say.
Facing the burning eyes of his wife and daughter, Tan Dejin was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, gritted his teeth, and said, "Mingxiu, Duo, I'm thinking, since we want to buy a barren mountain, it's better to ...... It's better to buy the fifty acres in the hands of grandma first, which will save them from worrying. ”
"Nope." Qiduo didn't think about it, and refused very simply.
What a bad idea.
Hulin Town is so far away from here, it's not convenient at all, the reason why I want to buy a barren mountain is not just to save trouble and convenience, and the place is big.
and Zhao's character, if you take the initiative to buy the fifty acres of garbage dump, it would be strange if she didn't kill you.
It's self-inflicted.
"Duo, why can't you do it?" Tan Dejin asked puzzled.
He wanted to relieve the difficulties of Old Man Tan and the Zhao family and fulfill his filial piety.
Qiduo rolled his eyes a little weakly, is Daddy really stupid or fake, how can he have this idea?
She glared at her father and asked, "Dad, what do you say you can't do?" ”
Tan Dejin was silent.
Qiduo said, "Dad, let me ask you, if grandma bids five taels and one mu, what will you do?" ”
"No, your grandmother won't pay such a high price, if that's the case, let's not be." Tan Dejin said with great certainty.
Qiduo pouted, "Don't?" Wouldn't that offend their two elders again, and they really came to the door to find anger. Father. I know you want to help grandma. But that's not how it helps.
First, grandma didn't mention it in front of you. How do you know that they can't handle this well? It's very likely that you're doing this for a long time.
Second, the land in Hulin Town is currently not suitable for our family to buy, what do we buy it for? Although we have a little silver, it is nothing for the next thing to do, and we don't know if it will be enough to spend. ”
Xu Shi also squinted at Tan Dejin and frowned, "Dejin, how can you have such a stupid idea." It's really not as good as a child. Listen to what Duo has to say, and don't get into trouble. ”
Tan Dejin sighed lightly, although he wanted to help Mr. Tan and his wife very much, but Qiduo was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but listen.
That's it, when my father and mother really have trouble speaking, I will think of helping them.
He dismissed the idea for the time being.
Next, Qiduo talked to his parents about selling lotus roots.
She felt that just relying on a few restaurants and her father to sell lotus root in the county town with six oranges could not sell the lotus root quickly, and she had to come up with some other way to do it.
The number of people in the county is limited. In addition, lotus root is not the price of cabbage, and people are not necessarily willing to buy it every day. There are still many people who don't know the existence of the lotus root, how to let everyone know that the lotus root has its own lotus, how to sell the lotus root to various towns and villages?
Qiduo frowned and pondered.
"There are a lot of people in our village, and if the relatives of every household also know that we have lotus root in our family, maybe they will come to buy it." Erxia, who had been silent, suddenly said softly.
Relatives!
"Ah, there it is." After chewing Erxia's words, Qiduo suddenly patted the table and said happily.
"What's the matter, you kid, scare my mother." Xu Shi glanced at Qiduo lightly, took her hand and asked.
"Mother, the eldest sister's words reminded me that we can mobilize the people in the village to help sell lotus roots." Qiduo said with a smile.
Tan Dejin became interested and said busily, "But how to launch it, people don't want to do things that are not beneficial." ”
"Well, of course there are benefits, it's like digging lotus roots, selling a pound of lotus root for two cents, or three cents. There are dozens of families in our village, and I am afraid that there are relatives from all over the country. It's not the busiest time yet, everyone has idlers and makes money, and I'm sure everyone won't refuse. Qiduo spoke his mind.
It's like wholesale, the people in the village are the retailers, and they go from village to house to sell. Although my family made a little less, I saved a lot of energy.
Xu Shi nodded, "This method is good, you can try, but I'm worried that when people go to sell lotus roots, no one wants to dig lotus roots, after all, digging lotus roots is much harder, so what can I do?" ”
"It's okay, mother, I've thought about it, if we're really going to do this, let's say okay, the people who dig lotus root in our house will give priority to selling lotus root. In this way, if you want to sell lotus roots, someone in the family must help dig them. In this way, it is not wrong to dig and sell lotus roots, otherwise, just a few of us, I don't know when we will sell them. Seven flowers answered.
"Cheng, if you have this constraint, you don't have to worry about anything else, or your brain is spinning fast, just your eldest sister can think of these things at once." Xu smiled and praised.
Qiduo smiled embarrassedly.
But this is only her preliminary consideration, it is not mature, and she will talk about it the day after tomorrow, and she will fight the opening of the food city tomorrow.
The family talked for a while, then washed up and rested.
However, Antar Gim's stay in the upside-down house where the lotus root is placed, just in case.
The next day, Qiduo got up early and still dressed up in men's clothes.
However, this time the clothes are brand new, she specially bought them, and the food city is open, so she can't dress shabby anymore, and she has to dress decently.
Tan Dejin still took six oranges to sell lotus roots, and seven flowers stayed in the food city.
At the end of the day, after the artillery fire, the food city was officially opened.
The food city focuses on hot pot.
Hot pot is a rare thing on the table of rich people in Tonglin County, not called hot pot, called warm pot, burning silver charcoal.
Qiduo is determined to make hot pot a delicacy for the people, so that everyone can afford to eat it, rich people can eat more meat dishes, and ordinary people can be vegan and thrifty.
In addition to hot pot, there are also special snacks, dim sum and main dishes to choose from.
Before the opening of the food city, Qiduo suggested that Xu Youxuan do publicity in the county seat and surrounding towns, looking at the crowds at the gate of the food city, it seems that the publicity effect is still good.
The food city has set up a front and rear kitchen, the so-called front kitchen is in a corner on the left side of the main entrance of the food city, and made an open kitchen, which is specially used to cook some special snacks, such as snails and other foods, with an attractive aroma to attract more customers to the door.
Qiduo is busy in the front kitchen.
Xu Youxuan walked over with a smile and said to her, "Xiao Qi, I'm not particularly busy right now, my grandfather and father are here, and they want to see you." (To be continued......)
