6. Buy land
Li Baoguo was basking in the sun in the courtyard when he heard someone knocking on the door outside and asking, "Who?" ”
"Uncle Li is me, Li Fu, I have something to do with you." Li Fu's voice came from outside the door.
Li Baoguo opened the door, "What's the matter, come here at noon." ”
"Uncle Li, I brought you a bottle of wine, your favorite bamboo leaf green." Li Fu shook the things in his hand.
"Tell me what's the matter, boy." Li Baoguo sat back, ignoring the bottle of wine.
Li Fu found a stool and sat on the side, "Uncle Li, you also know that my family has a lot of land and little food to eat, so buy good land, there is not so much money, so I want to buy some wasteland and reclaim it by myself." ”
"That's it, it's easy to do." Li Baoguo took a sip of wine, "If you want to buy that wasteland, you must know that wasteland is not easy to cultivate, and you can't regret buying it." ”
"No, Uncle Li, don't worry. Li Fu secretly laughed at the fool and regretted it, "It's the land on the mountain where red fruits are grown, Uncle Li can buy it!" ”
"Yes," Li Baoguo wondered why he wanted that piece of land, although it had red fruits, it couldn't be sold for money, and it was useless to ask for it, "Li Fu, that land is more expensive than other wastelands, you have to think clearly." ”
"Uncle Li, I want that piece of land, and that's what my father means." Li Fu took out the silver, "Uncle, look, I brought all the money, so I can buy it today and open up the wasteland as soon as possible." ”
Li Baoguo nodded, he said everything that should be said, "Okay, let's go over and measure, that land is three or two acres, and you can see how much you buy when the time comes." ”
The rest of the Li family was waiting there, and when they saw Li Zheng coming over, Old Man Li greeted him, "Baoguo, I've worked hard for you, and I'll let you come over on a hot day." ”
"It's okay, this is originally my business, Brother Li, you see how many acres you want to buy, and I will measure it for you." Li Baoguo went straight to the point.
"Baoguo, I want this land, you see how much it is." The old man pointed to the red fruit field.
Li Baoguo frowned, when would so much land be reclaimed, "Uncle Li, although this wasteland is cheap, if you don't grow grain within five years, the village will take it back." ”
"Baoguo, don't worry, I know the rules." The old man doesn't care, he can make a lot of money in five years.
"Okay, I'll let people measure it, let's finish it early, it's too hot this day." Li Baoguo wiped his sweat and began to measure, and Li Fu also followed alongside.
"Brother Li, a total of five acres of land and fifteen taels of silver." Li Baoguo said the measured data.
"Baoguo, you count, see if the silver is right." The old man took out two five taels, took out five strings of copper coins from his bag and handed them to Li Baoguo.
Li Baoguo glanced at it and put the money away, "Don't count, I don't know what Brother Li is like, it must be enough." After speaking, he took out the title deed and handed it to the old man.
When the old man heard the praise, the wrinkles of his laughter unfolded.
"Uncle Li, if this tree is not cut down, it will not be considered wasteland." Lin Xue walked to the front and asked.
Li Baoguo nodded, "That's right, it's just that this red fruit tree is useless!" Turning his head to look at the old man, "Uncle Li, you plan to keep the red fruit!" ”
"yes, I have some use for this red fruit." The old man is not hiding it after buying it, anyway, sooner or later it will be known, why not sell it now.
Li Baoguo blinked and stopped asking, people were willing to say that they had already given him face, and if they asked again, they didn't know what to do.
When the Li family bought the land, many people in the village saw it, and after Li Zheng left, someone surrounded him and asked, "Uncle Li, what's the use of this red fruit, it's not delicious." "The people next to me are eager to hear answers, and things that don't know are always curious.
Old Man Li smiled, "It's useful, you'll know in a few days." "Typical didn't say anything.
Some people were dissatisfied, "Uncle Li, we are all from the same village, it's not good to hide your armpits if there is something, you have all bought this land, what else is there to worry about." ”
"Of course, this red fruit is used to sell for silver!" Li Gui couldn't wait to show off, what were he afraid of after buying it anyway.
"Li Gui, you don't want to be crazy about money, don't you want this red fruit for nothing, who will take the money to buy it." Li Gui's opponent Li San sneered.
"That's it, this Li family is crazy and messes up the money." Someone next to him chimed in.
"What do you know, the food made by red fruits is delicious," Li Gui shouted angrily, this group of ignorant people have times when you regret it.
"What to eat, how to do it, Li Gui, don't bluff people, who doesn't know that you don't have the truth in your mouth." Li San said excitedly, this red fruit is also available in other places, as long as he knows how to do it, he can also make a sum of silver.
"I didn't bluff anyone, the food is ......"
"Second brother, what nonsense, why don't you hurry up and go back to the field and still have work." The old man hurriedly interrupted what Li Gui said.
Li San was unwilling, and the duck flew like this, "Li Gui, you said it, could it be that I said that you were bluffing people again." ”
Li Gui blushed and didn't speak, lowered his head and walked quickly towards home.
Stupid, Lin Xue shook her head, others said everything in a few words, it was really unreliable, it seemed that Fang Zi had to sell it early.
In the upper room, the old man handed over the title deed to the Wang family to put it away, glared at Li Gui and said, "Second brother, how old you are, you speak without thinking, just now I don't want to stop you if you plan to say everything." ”
"Dad, that can't be, didn't I say it, you can rest assured that I will never go out until the recipe is sold." Li Gui swore a promise.
"Dad, there are already people in the village who doubt that red fruits can be used for food, and if someone knows how to do it, this recipe will not be worth much." Lin Xue didn't trust Li Gui, so it was better for Fang Zi to sell it early.
The old man nodded, this time he spent all his family's savings to buy land, it was a desperate gamble, he was also a little uneasy in his heart, it was better to sell it early, "Boss, you guys clean up, let's go to the town early tomorrow morning, and you will follow the third daughter-in-law." ”
"Dad, then I'll go too, I haven't been to town for a long time." Zhao came over and pulled Lin Xue, "It's good to accompany the third brother and sister." ”
"Dad, I'm going too." Li Yue and Li Duo shouted.
"No, you are not allowed to go while you stay at home." The old man did not agree.
"Mother, you talk to your father, we are just shopping, and we will definitely not delay the business." Li Yue was coquettish to the Wang family.
Li Duo grabbed Wang's other arm, "Mother, you just let us go shopping, we haven't gone out for a long time." ”
Wang felt sorry for his daughter and said to the old man, "You just let them go, if you marry someone in the future, you won't have a chance to go shopping, and women will be freer when they are girls." ”
The old man was moved, "Okay, let's go, but be obedient and don't make trouble on the way." ”
