Chapter 29 Acquisition of Immovable Property
At this moment, Yang Cui already has an idea in her heart, but the specific implementation has to be carefully considered.
She went to the stargazing building and saw the shopkeeper Yu, her uncle An Dafu had just handed over a few hundred catties of goods, An Dafu was honest, and felt that the identity of the shopkeeper Yu was so noble, and he didn't dare to talk to him more.
An Dafu told Yang Cui that he had inquired clearly, in addition to his family, there were a total of 158 peach trees and 206 plum trees in Anjia Village, and he couldn't calculate how many catties of fruit they could produce, only knowing that a peach tree produced about 180 catties of fruit, and a plum tree produced about 50 catties of plums.
With these known conditions, Yang Cui quickly calculated the results.
Not surprisingly, Yu signed a contract with Yang Cui in the shopkeeper, ** 8,000 catties of plums, all of which must be sent to the back door of Pinxiangzhai within ten days.
Yang Cui was afraid that the shopkeeper would not make a contract at first! I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Yang Cui was very happy.
Out of the stargazing building, Yang Cui went to buy a fish, bought some tofu and went back to Anjia Village.
Back in Anjia Village, as soon as the news of Yang Cui's purchase of plums came out with one hundred catties and eighty yuan, Anjia Village exploded instantly!
"Dafu his niece, do you really collect plums?"
"What are you buying so many plums for?"
"One hundred pounds and eighty wen is too cheap!"
"Didn't Dafu say yesterday that he was a penny and a pound?"
"Yes, why did you become a hundred pounds and eighty wen today? Twenty dollars less for nothing. ”
……
The villagers were talking.
Yang Cui stood on a high place and said loudly: "Uncles and aunts, everyone listen to me, we buy in large quantities, so the price is a little lower, and we will earn some hard handling fees, and if we are willing to sell, we will pick it up and send it to my uncle, we will pay the bill on the spot, and I will not default on the payment, and I only need 8,000 catties, if you don't sell, I can only go to other places to buy, and if you collect enough of this amount, I won't collect it, and I won't charge it no matter how cheap it is." ”
When the words fell, there was another uproar!
"The niece of the An family is really rich! How many plums do you get in the village, and you settle it on the spot, how much does it cost? ”
"It may be the money of the An family, she is an abandoned woman who heard that she was bullied by the Lin family miserably, how can she be rich!"
"Then do you sell it or not?"
"Sell! She took it all, and the price was acceptable, and our family lost two or three hundred catties of plums last year. ”
……
Then starting the next day, the An family was busy with their feet not touching the ground, passing the scales and paying for the points, and they didn't stop at once.
Anjia Village only has a donkey cart for the village chief's family, and the delivery is not enough, so An Dafu rented Zhou Daniu's mule cart and gave him ten cents for a trip.
The scene of Anda's rich family making money soon spread to Ji'an Village, Yang Cui took the two children to stay in An's house early and return late, and came back at night, some people wanted to inquire about anything, but they didn't have a chance.
The Lin family also sent someone to Anjia Village to inquire about the situation, but this time Yang Cui and the An family were on guard, and the Lin family wanted to find the second and third girls to talk again, but they had no way to start.
——
On the evening of the fourth day of buying plums, when Yang Cui was about to go home, Wang Dachun came.
"Dafu, your family is so busy that you don't touch the ground, and you have earned a lot of money."
"If I make money, my family can still live like this?" An Dafu smiled, "Why are you here today?" Hey, why is your face so blue? ”
Wang Dachun didn't answer, and asked Yang Cui straight to the point: "Niece, do you still want the homestead?" ”
Yang Cui had already guessed Wang Dachun's intention, so she was not surprised, she said: "Uncle Wang, I can only give two, two, three." ”
"Two-two-three, two-two-three, honestly." Wang Dachun was very happy this time, and then asked An Dafu, "Dafu, you are making a lot of money now, don't you want to buy land, build a house or something?" Your sons are also older, they want to start a family, they can't do it without a house! ”
An Dafu and Yang Cui were both shocked when they heard this.
An Dafu asked with an incredulous face: "You don't want to sell land and houses, right?" ”
"What a fucking bad luck lately!" Wang Dachun sighed, "My family has four acres of land, one of which is paddy fields, my family also has six plum trees, eight peach trees, my house was overhauled two years ago, and there is a vegetable garden in the back, together for thirty-five taels of silver, all sold to you, how about it?" ”
"Da Chun, you have to think clearly, this is not a trivial matter, the land is the lifeblood of our croppers, you sell the land, what do your daughter-in-law and children eat? Don't be impulsive, think about it. An Dafu persuaded earnestly.
"I've thought about it, I'll sell it all to you, Dafu, you can buy it!" Wang Dachun's tone carried a hint of begging.
"Thirty-five taels, not thirty-five wen, I'm a farmer, where do I have so much money! Da Chun, listen to my brother's advice, don't gamble! In the past, who in the village didn't envy you, your wife was virtuous, your children were sensible, and you could make money, look at it now, listen to my brother, don't gamble, that thing hurts people! ”
Wang Dachun's face was displeased, and he said, "Since you don't buy it, I'll ask others." ”
An Dafu hurriedly grabbed Wang Dachun: "Dachun, house and land are the foundation of life, don't do stupid things!" ”
"Dafu, let me tell you the truth, I owe thirty taels of silver outside, I can't afford to pay it back if I don't sell my house and land, if I don't pay it back, my hands will be gone, I'm still young, I can't live without my hands."
"Three...... Thirty taels? ”
Thirty taels of silver is money that they can't earn in their whole lives from farming. Hearing this number, An Dafu couldn't help but gasp.
"You only owe thirty taels, there is no need to sell all the property." Yang Cui said, "I am very interested in your homestead, four acres of land and fruit trees, can you take me to see it?" ”
Wang Dachun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you serious? But...... Can you really come up with that much money? ”
"I can't take it, isn't there still my uncle?" Of course, Yang Cui will not admit that she is rich.
"Dafu, I can't see it, your family background is so thick!"
An Dafu didn't speak, and looked at Yang Cui in surprise.
Wang Dachun said again: "Dafu, since you have money, why don't you buy my house too!" Otherwise, I won't be able to repay the debt! I really plan to start again this time, I sold it all, paid off the debt, and there is still a little left, I am ready to take it out and continue to do business, Dafu, you can buy it, you still have to build a house for your son, we are so close, this house is for your son to live in, it is also very good. ”
"I don't have any money."
Wang Dachun said again: "How about the house and vegetable garden, nine taels?" I don't want any furniture or anything, and I have two cabinets there! I only asked Uncle De to fight last year, how about nine taels? ”
"Da Chun, don't sell the house, where do you live for your family of six after you sell it?" An Dafu is still persuading.
Wang Dachun was determined to sell: "Niece, Dafu, let's go, let's go and see the place first, it's not me who blows, my house and land are really good." ”
Yang Cui really wants to buy land, and she is not at ease with the silver on her, and for Yang Cui, having land is more important than having money.
Wang Dachun took them around for most of the hour, and kept persuading An Dafu to buy the house, Yang Cui took a look, there are three houses in the Wang family, the overall is not bad, the vegetable garden behind the house is also big, the furniture at home is also very new, and the nine taels of silver are really not expensive.
"With such a large sum of money, we have to think about it and give you an answer tomorrow morning, can we?"
Wang Dachun nodded: "Okay, then I'll come to you tomorrow morning." ”
One night, Wang Dachun can wait.
……
"Xiaocui, do you really want to buy the house and land of the Da Chun family?" Wang Dachun was not there at this time, and An Dafu finally seized the opportunity to ask Yang Cui.
"Uncle, do you think their land and house are worth the price?"
"It's worth it, it's just ......" An Dafu asked quietly, "You can take out such a large sum of money?" ”
Yang Cui said in a low voice: "Uncle, I won't tell you, I made a lot of money by selling peaches, ginger and plums, and I made a lot of money in the past few days, plus the finished products that I sold peaches, ginger and plums before, I just have so much in my hands." ”
Yang Cui still didn't tell An Dafu the truth about the "lost" thirty taels.
An Dafu didn't expect his niece to be so rich, a proper invisible rich man, he was shocked!
After a while, he reacted and said solemnly: "It's not safe to have money on your body, it's better to buy some land, this kind of thing, others can't steal it, four acres of land, you have enough to eat and drink." ”
"That's what I thought too."
……
Early the next morning, Yang Cui took the money and bought everything in Wang Dachun's house under the witness of the village chief, spending a total of thirty-six taels and three.
"Uncle An, I have to trouble you to help me make a trip and help me exchange the white deed for the red deed."
Wang Dachun's land deed and house deed are all white deeds, and the white deeds have not been filed with the government, that is to say, if they are lost, they cannot be recovered, and they cannot be reissued.
Many ordinary people's land deeds are white deeds, because they go to the government for the record, change them to red deeds, and they have to pay money, and many people are reluctant to change this money, so they generally do not change them to red deeds.
After Yang Cui finished speaking, he took out a string of copper plates and handed them to Village Chief An: "Uncle Village Chief, here are two hundred Wen, and I don't know if it's enough." ”
"What's the use of so much? A maximum of 100 wen is enough for the yamen. Village Chief An counted a hundred wen and returned it to Yang Cui.
Yang Cui only took back fifty wen, and gave the remaining fifty wen to the village chief: "You take this uncle, help me run, it's very hard." ”
"Don't don't, it's just my business, I don't have to give money, speaking of which, I have to thank your uncle and nephew."
This time, the village chief's family made a lot of money by selling fruits and perilla leaves, and the village chief was also grateful to Yang Cui, who bought land and bought a house and moved over, and he was also very welcome.
The village chief has been the head of Anjia Village for so many years, and he still has the eyesight, and besides, who An Dafu is, how can he not know? He had already seen that An Dafu's sale of fruits and perilla was actually led by Yang Cui, and he admired it in his heart!
He also thought about taking this opportunity to have a good relationship with Yang Cui, what opportunities to make money in the future, Yang Cui could continue to think about him, everyone would benefit each other, and we could achieve a win-win situation.
The village chief and An Dafu went to the yamen to convert the red deed, they came back at about one o'clock in the afternoon, and successfully brought back the red deed, Yang Cui held the red deed, and her heart was indescribably excited and satisfied.
I have money, a house and a land, and I don't panic.
Wen and An Dafu were very envious in their hearts, their family only had two acres of land and four points of land! can't fill the six mouths in the family at all, and in the future, the son marries a daughter-in-law and has a grandson, and he has nothing to eat.
Yang Cui didn't see the envious gaze of her uncle and aunt, she was so happy at the moment, smiled, and said to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, I have to eat here at noon today." ”
The village chief still didn't ask for the fifty copper plates, Yang Cui thought, no matter what, I have to invite him to a meal, and I will have to take care of him more when I move here in the future!
An Dafu followed Yang Cui's words and said: "Brother, eat here at noon, there is a big grass carp at home, and the sauerkraut fish made by my niece is particularly delicious, you can stay and taste it today." ”
"Then you're welcome."
At noon, Yang Cui personally took charge of the spoon, a wild celery fried fragrant and dry, an eggplant bean, and a grass carp of more than five catties, made two large pots of sauerkraut fish, the staple food is multigrain porridge, and the tube is full.
In this era, pigs, cattle and sheep have no to eat, and the most eaten meat dish is fish.
It was the first time the village chief had seen this practice, the fish were fillet into thin slices, and the spines were less than what they usually ate, and he repeatedly praised Yang Cui for his ingenuity.
In short, the guests and hosts of this meal enjoyed themselves.
