There are many escapees, and there are a few families who are as prosperous as the Gu family's tofu stalls, and many of them are still selling their sons and daughters, and even begging in order to survive.

The scribes Lu and Zhang from the priest's workshop only knew at this time that the land was bought by the Gu family's tofu stall.

The two were very surprised, and the scribe Lu said: "Those families do have the ability." ”

Recently, the county lieutenant Jiang and Xu County Ling have gotten closer, and the Xu County Commander has praised Jiang County Lieutenant again and again, and many important things have been handed over to Jiang County Lieutenant to do, which has been much colder to Zou County.

Those few are guarded by County Lieutenant Jiang.

After weighing the pros and cons, the two scribes of Lu Zhang felt that they should be honest and not go to the trouble of those families, so as not to get involved in the fight between Jiang County Lieutenant and Zou County Cheng.

But after all, the peak of the two was Zou County, and according to the usual practice, he wrote a letter and sent it to Chef Li in Fuguilou, asking him to send someone to Zou Mansion.

Chef Li received the letter, didn't say anything, and sent a guy to Zou Mansion.

However, Chef Li felt that the Gu family's tofu stall buying more than a dozen acres of land was not worth telling the county lord at all. The Gu family sells tofu and spices, and they can earn dozens of taels of silver a day and buy more than a dozen acres of wasteland, what is there to tell them about?

Zou Xiancheng received the letter, very embarrassed, that wasteland he also thought about in his early years, after all, it was in the town, and he could make a fortune by buying a shop.

But he couldn't find the owner of the wasteland, and after many years, he let it go.

At this moment, when he learned that Qin Gu Luotian's family had bought wasteland, although he only bought a dozen acres, he was also unhappy in his heart, and he wanted to send someone to rob the land.

But before he could do it, something more covetous appeared in Tianfu County and several neighboring counties - soybean oil!

I don't know who made the soybean oil, so it suddenly popped up, and the place that came out was very special, it was the major avenue temples and temples of several counties.

The first people to eat soybean oil were the masters in the Taoist temples, and these masters gave soybean oil to the believers who went to the incense.

The believers felt that the things given by the masters were blessed, and they took them joyfully and took them home to cook and eat.

Don't say it, although the taste of soybean oil is not as fragrant as meat oil, the dishes made are also delicious, with the smell of oil, and the oil and water are enough, and the body has strength after eating.

After those people finished eating, when they went to the Taoist temple to offer incense, they asked the masters, do you still have soybean oil? They don't need to be given by the masters, they are willing to pay for it.

The masters told them about a shop, and those people went to the shop to ask, and they learned that soybean oil was sold very cheaply, only 20 yuan per catty, which was a full 10 yuan cheaper than meat oil.

Farmers in several counties were crazy with joy, and many families who could not afford to buy fatty meat began to buy soybean oil to eat.

Zou Xiancheng is not stupid, knowing that this soybean oil not only makes money, but also a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, he immediately asked Master Shao to check it himself, and be sure to find out who made the soybean oil.

However, several big families in Fucheng were faster than him, and they had already taken action, wanting to find out who made soybean oil so that they could get a piece of the pie.

But I searched and searched, and I found Zhongzhou!

After a few days of investigation in Zhongzhou, several big families in Fucheng have stopped their efforts, and no longer fight the idea of soybean oil, it is really a mountain higher than a mountain, and their big families in Fucheng are not comparable to one of the three major commercial houses in Dachu, as well as the noble families in the capital.

Master Shao had a classmate who was a guest in a big family in Fucheng, and when he learned that Master Shao was checking the main house of soybean oil, he reminded him: "Don't check, stop it quickly, it's something from the noble family in the capital, let's not want to get a piece of the pie." ”

What county lord, what kind of mansion and city clan, in the eyes of the nobles of the capital, not even a fart, dare to hit other people's ideas, be careful and even lose your life.

Master Shao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly returned to Zou Mansion and informed Zou Xiancheng of what he had found.

When Zou Xiancheng found out, he was shocked, and he didn't dare to beat the idea of soybean oil anymore.

……

When Zou County Cheng and their Xiao wanted soybean oil, Gu Jinli had already drawn three drawings and showed them when several adults came to the house to calculate the daily accounts.

Father Luo looked at the two back-to-back yards on the drawings and said in surprise: "Xiaoyu, are you going to build two yards?" ”

The shops in the town are all three front bunks, plus four wings in the backyard.

But in addition to the three front shops and four wings in the backyard, these drawings drawn by Xiaoyu also built a wall in the middle, and behind the wall, there is a courtyard of the same style.

The two courtyards, separated by a wall, each with a front door, and a small door open next to the separated wall, connect the two courtyards into a deep mansion.

Gu Jinli nodded: "Uncle Luo is right, these are the two courtyards." Our land is big, and it's nothing to build an extra yard. At that time, the four wings that came in the front bunk were for the guys to live in, and the courtyard in the back was for us to live in, which was convenient and safe, and quiet. ”

"Xiaoyu, what are you talking about, let's invite a buddy?" Chen shouted, shook his head and didn't agree: "What are you doing with that money, we have hands and feet, and we can do it ourselves." ”

Chen was reluctant to spend money to hire a man, so if she really wanted to ask, give her the money, and she worked hard.

Gu Jinli said: "It's not that you have to invite a guy, but just prepare the house first, mainly to make the front shop really separate from the back house, so that the people in the front shop don't disturb our lives." ”

The third grandmother nodded when she heard this: "It is true that the front shop should be separated from the back house, the back house is our own residence, there is a girl's house, the front shop is for business, there are many people coming, and it is good to separate it." ”

Aunt Tian said: "This shop has an extra yard, it has to cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Although the family received a lot of silver, they still had to buy land, build a house, and save money for the second strong to marry a daughter-in-law, but they couldn't spend it indiscriminately.

Gu Jinan has already calculated: "Now it costs fifty taels of silver to build a blue brick house, let's build an extra yard, the price is doubled, it is one hundred taels, plus the money for digging a well, a total of one hundred and twenty-five taels." ”

The third grandfather looked at a few adults: "It's about the same as the budget we had to buy a shop before, if you don't have any opinions, Dashan and Dafu will go to find someone tomorrow, let's build the shop quickly." ”

Several families have always listened to the third grandfather, so naturally they will not object: "Eh, listen to your old one." ”

The next day, after Gu Dashan finished his work in the workshop, he called Gu Dafu and followed He Sixteen to Yanfu Village.

He Sixteen is looking for stones to sell, over the years, he has traveled to many places, has been to Yanfu Village a few times, and has the heart to make friends with the Gu family, so he recommended himself to show them the way.

On the way, He 16 said to them: "In our Qingfu Town, only Yanfu Village has green bricks for sale, and there is a team of more than a dozen masons in their village. ”

"Yuan Laorong of Yanfu Village, that is a capable man, when he was a child, his family was poor, but he was a thief, knowing that rich old ladies like to go to Taoist temples to offer incense, he took a broken bowl and knelt on the way to Taoist temples to ask for food."
