Chapter 297: Buying Land
In the second room, Ye Hao touched the wolf skin in her hand, and suggested with a smile: "Mother, these two pieces can be made into a wolf skin vest, and it must be very warm when you wear it." ”
Xing's heart was happy, but he glanced at his daughter with disgust on his face: "We are just ordinary people, where can my mother wear such a valuable thing?" ”
"Let's take this wolf skin tomorrow and sell it in the town, it's about to start spring, and we haven't prepared anything at home."
Speaking of this, Ye Hao thought of her plan, her eyes lit up, and she proposed: "Mother, our family's current silver is enough, why don't you buy a few more acres of good land?" “
When Father Ye on the other side of the kang heard this, his spirit immediately lifted.
nodded again and again and agreed: "Zhen'er is right, our Zhuang family, land is the foundation, naturally the more the better!" ”
Xing Shi thought for a few breaths, nodded and responded: "Zhen'er didn't mention this, I almost forgot that when the family was divided, the six acres of land allocated to us were all planted with chestnut rice last year." ”
"This year, let's plant everything else, let the land rest and nourish!"
Father Ye snorted, and his face just disappeared with joy.
Ye Hao nodded, planting chestnut rice is not as good as others, it is best not to plant continuously, otherwise the soil power will be consumed quickly.
Continuous planting is also possible, but the nutrients in the field will decrease rapidly, there will be a lot of weeds, and the yield per mu will also be reduced a lot.
Therefore, not only the Ye family, but also the people who have fields in the entire Peach Blossom Village will basically take turns planting.
Xing Shi glanced at her daughter and husband and asked, "Then how many acres of land is suitable for our family to buy?" ”
Coupled with the sale of bean sprouts during this time, the family now has a total of more than 250 taels of silver, and her daughter wants to build a blue brick house, she was originally quite hesitant.
But then I think about it, build it, the earthen house is not as strong as the brick house, the house is good, you can live for a few more years, and when the two sons are old, it will be easier to say that they are married.
But in this way, the money for building a house in addition to the homestead must be set aside at least 150 taels at home to be safer.
Otherwise, it is better to say that there is more silver at that time, but if you find that there is not enough silver in the middle of the construction, it will be troublesome.
I also have to keep some silver as a daily expense, so at most it is only a little more than a hundred taels, which can be used to buy land.
Father Ye thought for a while and reported a number: "How about buying eight acres of farmland?" ”
Speaking of the latter, he looked at his wife and daughter expectantly, he had been dealing with the fields for half his life, and naturally hoped that the more fields he had, the better.
But Ye Hao frowned and calculated, but did not agree: "Father, why don't you buy five acres of good land first?" ”
"Or four acres of fine land, plus two acres of medium land, and the rest of the silver, I already have a plan."
"What are you going to do?" Father Ye asked.
Ye Hao smiled: "I don't know if I can do this thing I think about it, wait until I ask Aunt Wang tomorrow, and ask her to find someone to inquire and talk about other things." ”
"If it doesn't work out then, I will buy eight acres of land as your father said!"
Father Ye was happy, he smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay, then this matter is decided!" ”
..........
On the second day, the mother and daughter came to the town with two wolf skins and went into the shop where they collected mountain goods and furs.
"Shopkeeper, can you collect fur here?" Ye Hao asked when she entered the store.
The young man in his thirties in the store saw the wolf skin on Xing's shoulder, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Chong Xing said: "Accept it, the lady is going to sell this wolf skin?" Then you've found the right person, my store is the most honest in town! ”
Ye Hao smiled noncommittally: "This is a good wolf skin, how much silver does the store give?" ”
The man gestured when he heard this.
Xing's face was immediately happy, and he was about to respond, but he saw his daughter frowning and said, "Ten taels? Shopkeeper, you're not sincere. ”
"You can only collect the wolf skin of the summer for ten taels of silver, right? Look at my wolf skin, how thick is this hair? This is a winter wolf, just hunted a few days ago! ”
The man originally looked at the two of them, but the first time he came, he couldn't help but despise a little bit, and wanted to take these two wolf skins at a low price.
At this time, he was pointed out, and he didn't panic at all, and pretended to be very serious and looked at it a few more times.
smiled and said: "Hey, I didn't look carefully just now, this is really a winter wolf skin, so let's do it, thirty taels of silver, I took these two wolf skins!" ”
"Sixteen taels of silver, my wolf skin is not only thick, but also concocted, you only need to take it out and change hands!"
"Immediately, a few taels of silver will come in, one more tael, you won't lose!" Ye Hao raised the price by another one or two.
The middle-aged man glanced at her in surprise, but he didn't refute her words, frowned and thought for a few breaths, and finally nodded: "Cheng, just this price!" ”
After coming out of the store, Xing touched his daughter's head and smiled very happily: "Zhen'er has really grown up." ”
"Ahem, mother, I'm selling too many things, I'm experienced, mother, if you have more times, you can do this."
Ye Hao was embarrassed to be praised, explained, and quickly changed the topic: "Mother, the farm tools at our house are almost broken and can't be used, why don't you go to the blacksmith shop and buy a few new ones?" ”
Xing's attention was really diverted, and while walking forward with his daughter, he said, "Those farm tools at home can still be repaired, how can I buy new ones?" ”
"Mother, go and have a look, and you don't need money to see it." Ye Hao replied with a smile.
Well, after reading this, I naturally couldn't hold back and bought a few new ones.
............
took the ox cart back home, Ye Hao put her things at home, turned her head and came to Zhang's house: "Auntie, I'm coming to see you." ”
"Oh, girl, come in, come in!" Wang Shi went out of the house in response and greeted her with a smile on his face.
Ye Hao smiled and walked into the house.
Wang saw the bamboo basket she was carrying in her hand: "You came here, what else do you bring, don't you go out with the eldest lady?" “
Ye Hao smiled: "Auntie, this is my home-made bean sprouts, which are not worth much, just to add dishes to your evening." ”
"Then the eldest lady will accept it, does the girl have something to do with the eldest lady today?" Wang looked at her expression and asked while taking the bamboo basket.
Ye Hao nodded: "Auntie, you know a lot of people on weekdays, can you recognize or hear of it, where does anyone sell this apricot sapling?" ”
Wang thought about it carefully, shook his head slowly, and said, "I really haven't heard anyone talk about this. ”
Seeing the disappointment on her face, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, when that kid from my family comes back, I'll ask him, he runs around outside every day, and he can't tell you about it." ”
Ye Hao's eyes lit up, yes, why did she forget Brother Zhiyuan?
"Auntie, when will Brother Zhiyuan come back?"
