Chapter 68 Buying Land
"Mother, it's going to be cold this day, we have to make a few pairs of quilts, I see that the uncle only has a thin pair of covers, so I may have to trouble you to make a few more quilts."
"Yes, good. What's the trouble with this, there's no work to do right now. ”
Ma Qiuying saw that the time was still early, so she said she would do it, and began to be busy making quilts.
This quilt doesn't take much effort, it's warmer than others, even if she makes a few more pairs, she is willing, as long as Xiaoxiao doesn't buy those made by others.
Qingqing and Niu Niu were looking around the puppy, one yellow, which looked quite energetic, but the two black ones were a little thin, so that the two of them didn't dare to touch them, for fear that if they were too heavy, they would die.
Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them with great interest, raised her feet and walked over,
"None of them have names yet, so why don't you two give them a name?!"
Niu Niu glanced at Xiaoxiao with some flattery, thought about it, and then opened his mouth:
"It's yellow, it's called rhubarb, and there are two of them, one is called big black and the other is called little black, okay?"
The corners of Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, yes, this is another person with an unreliable name.
"Niu Niu is awesome, big sister, I also think this name is good, so let's call it like this."
Qingqing praised Niu Niu very much for face, so that Xiaoxiao swallowed the words that she wanted to refute, just let them be happy, these are not very important.
Bai Xue heard the names of a few little ones on the side and gave them so casually, a little gloating, finally, someone, no, had a dog to keep him company.
Although he didn't like his name very much, compared to this big rhubarb, big black, and little black, his mood instantly balanced a lot.
The names of the three puppies were decided like this, Xiaoxiao patted the heads of the two of them, and went to see the vegetables planted.
The vegetables in the first two days only sprouted some small sprouts, but in the past two days, they have grown a lot, Xiaoxiao looked at the vegetables that had grown successfully, and seemed to see a kind of money-making business.
In winter, there are few greens, basically cabbage and radish, if she succeeds in growing this vegetable, it will also be an income.
Greenhouse vegetables, in this ancient times, could not be perfectly deployed, she just built a shed and put a stove.
And this dish can grow so fast, she thinks it is more due to the water with white snow.
Xiaoxiao was very curious, Bai Xue's claws could have such a big effect just a few times in the water, she really felt that Bai Xue was a treasure, or a rare treasure.
Since this out-of-season vegetable is successful, then she can grow a lot of vegetables, with the baby Bai Xue, it is really twice the result with half the effort.
"Bai Xue, I'll make you five grilled fish to eat today."
With the previous experience, Bai Xue was not as excited as she imagined, but looked at Xiaoxiao suspiciously.
"What, don't want to eat?"
Bai Xue shook her head, it wanted to eat, but it didn't know what the master was trying to do with it.
However, apparently this time, it was Bai Xue who was too worried, until it ate the five grilled fish nervously, and didn't see what Xiaoxiao asked it to do, so it wiped its mouth and went to eat contentedly.
After several people finished eating, Qingqing began to pick up needles and threads to make clothes, and her mother-in-law made quilts next to her.
This time, Xiaoxiao deliberately bought a few more pieces of cloth, first, she had promised Qingqing to make new clothes for her, and second, the uncle and the others didn't seem to have any clothes to change into.
Although it is more convenient to buy ready-to-wear clothes, the economy does not allow it, so now she can only trouble her mother-in-law.
Qingqing is young, but she can make clothes without delay, even if the stitches are not so fine, she can still wear them.
Xiaoxiao persuaded the two of them to take care of their eyes, don't do it for too long, and walked out.
When she came back today, she went to the village chief's house again, and if she wanted to build a house, she first had to inquire about how much it would cost to buy land, and she had a good idea in her heart.
Don't look at the village chief, who asked people to help build two thatched huts here, but the land here does not belong to them.
The people in the village have no opinion, probably because they feel pitiful, and if they earn money, even if it is just a thatched house, there will definitely be an argument at that time.
The countryman is simple, but only when everyone's economic conditions are about the same, or if you are a little weaker, everyone may have a little sympathy to help you.
But if you make a fortune in a muffled voice, or suddenly get out of everyone's perception of you, then the gossip, or the sore eyes can't do it, then your life will be more or less affected.
Although Xiaoxiao doesn't care much about what others say, what she has to do is to have a clear conscience, come how she wants, and not be greedy for any cheapness, nor opportunistic.
She will earn what she wants, so even if someone says something in the future, she will block others' mouths.
She asked at the time, and one acre of land needed three taels of silver, and according to the yard they now fenced off with a fence, it was about ten taels.
She felt a little small, and she planned to buy all this empty place, build a greenhouse vegetable base, and raise some chickens and ducklings by the way.
Glancing at the ground in front of me, I roughly estimated that it would take at least fifty taels.
After thinking about his money bag for a while, he felt that he couldn't eat a fat man in one go, so Xiaoxiao planned to buy ten acres of land first.
When she builds a house and earns money, she can expand it a little more.
After breakfast the next day, Xiaoxiao went to the village chief's house again and directly expressed her intention to the village chief.
"Ten acres of land need thirty taels of silver, let's go to the town to go through the formalities, this money can be taken all at once."
"Uncle Meng, I know, if you are free now, we will go to the town to complete the formalities, right?!"
Xiaoxiao knew that the village chief was afraid that she would not be able to come up with the money, so she explained:
"Two days ago, I caught some fish, and the wild boar meat I got that day, and sold it for just a little silver, so I thought about buying the land first, after all, we live there, and it's okay to say for a while, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable."
Meng Guangan listened to Xiaoxiao's cryptic words, and sighed again in his heart that this girl was very delicate, he had lived in a village for so long, he hadn't found anything special about Xiaoxiao, if it weren't for so many things that had happened in the village recently, he would still not have found Xiaoxiao's excellence.
is obviously just a child, but he thinks a lot about doing things, which makes him a little ashamed of himself as an adult.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do right now, so let's go now."
When I arrived in the town, I went directly to the Yamen, and when I heard that it was to buy land, those people were obviously much more enthusiastic.
There is no way, there is wasteland everywhere, and if they can sell some land, they will have some oil and water.
The procedure went quickly, and after asking Qing Xiaoxiao where the land was bought and how many acres it was, he asked Xiaoxiao to stamp a handprint, and there was a seal of the yamen on the paper, and that's it.
Before leaving, Xiaoxiao gave the master some silver, saying that they had worked hard and bought some tea to drink.
The master put the money bag into his sleeve and personally sent Xiaoxiao and them away, but he didn't expect that a little girl could be so good, he had to give face no matter what.
