After answering the questions of Chen Jicong and another villager, many villagers gathered around. I heard that some people asked questions that everyone wanted to ask, so Ye Feng asked them in public; There were also some people who wanted to ask personal questions and didn't want to be heard, so they pulled Ye Feng aside and began to ask carefully.

Seeing that Ye Feng was surrounded by everyone, Chen Jifa was not annoyed, let Ye Feng go to this kind of limelight, he really couldn't cope with it.

Anyway, he just made a fortune by himself, and he had already followed Ye Feng to buy land.

Speaking of which, Ye Feng is also a thief, as early as before he and Chen Qianfan went to the county government, he bought another ten acres of land in his own name, and all of them were near the entrance of the village.

To say that Chenjia Village has always been centered on the west of the village, after all, the rich people, the village chief and the ancestral hall are all there. As for the village Dongcai, which is close to the official road, no one cares about it. It wasn't until Chen Jixing's family built a house there, and several families in the village who had a good relationship with his family also built houses next to each other, that it became lively.

However, as soon as the village was developed, everyone began to realize that the center of the village had been completely shifted. The east of the village has become the gateway of Chenjia Village, after all, it is next to the official road, and if outsiders want to enter, they must start from the west of the village.

A few days ago, someone said that the people in the east of the village are considered to have earned, and the geographical location alone has incomparable advantages. When the time comes, tourists from other places will come to Chenjia Village, and they will have enough fun in front, how can they still come to the east of the village.

This is especially true when it comes to accommodation.

Those who have not yet built a house want to build a house in the east of the village. In the end, Chen Jixing came forward and said that although the east of the village is good, it will be noisy, and the west of their village is not bad, the environment is good, and there is a rhododendron forest, and there will be tourists to enjoy it at that time.

Rao is like this, but he still can't stop the enthusiasm of the villagers to build houses in the east of the village. No, now an acre of land in the east of the village has been sold for thirty taels of silver, while the one in the west of the village is only twenty taels, which is ten taels more expensive.

This has to make people sigh, they didn't learn from Ye Feng and Chen Jixing at the beginning, so they bought the land early. Now, people don't have to do anything, and they earn several times more from those lands alone.

Fortunately, Ye Feng had already bought the land, and he decided to take out five acres of land next year to plant roses, and the remaining five acres to grow peanuts. As for Chen Jixing's land, most of it is still used to grow corn and sweet potatoes.

With so many pigs at home, there is too much food needed.

Finally pulled out, and after answering everyone's questions, Ye Feng smiled bitterly at Chen Jifa, and then went home.

As soon as Ye Feng left, Chen Jifa began to divide the long fruits.

The person who passed the scale was Chen Yingming, the old birthday star in the village. Don't look at his age, but his hands are very steady, and his hands are accurate, basically grasping one by one.

In fact, the rest of the people are not bad, but Chen Yingming is the oldest and the oldest, and everyone has no opinion on him being weighed. If you dare to make trouble in front of the ancestors in the village, then you don't need to divide this longevity fruit, and you can be expelled from the village directly.

In this way, Chen Jifa read someone's house, and the family happily took their own basket, and when the scale passed, they happily carried the basket home. They knew in their hearts that there were already people waiting at their doors.

Those shopkeepers, seeing their enthusiasm, made them very uncomfortable.

Since yesterday, people have been asking when they can buy longevity fruit, and they have given a price of seven taels and a half pound, that is to say, now a pound can be sold for half a tael of silver, which makes everyone excited.

And those who are smart can see the clues, but after a few days it will rise, it is better to hold on to it and wait for the price to rise.

There are a total of four people in Aunt Cha's family, and a total of 34 catties of peanuts were distributed.

Since going out of the policy of dividing silver according to heads, she and Fifth Uncle Chen have been working hard to create people. Anyway, in this situation at home, it is also affordable to have two more children. Now, I'm afraid that my family will be thin.

It's just a pity that no matter how hard she tries, she just can't conceive, but she is not as good as someone in her fifties. So he was full of anger on Uncle Chen, only saying that he was useless, which made Uncle Chen very faceless.

Aunt Cha's mother's family was also anxious when they heard this, and her mother Lu Shi thought of countless ways to find many home remedies for Aunt Cha to try. However, a year has passed, and Aunt Cha's stomach still has no movement, so she has to give up.

One less person will cost you a few dozen taels of silver. And that's just about the longevity. By next year, the shops and inns in the village will have income, and it will be a big loss.

Carrying dozens of catties of peanuts on her back, Aunt Zha Wu complained as she walked: "It's too early to say that your father and mother passed away, and you said that if they were still alive, wouldn't our family have to share seventeen catties of immortal fruit." I'll do the math, one pound will be calculated according to seven taels of silver, then seventeen pounds will be ...... One hundred and nineteen taels of silver. Oh my God, it's a big loss. In a few days, the village will sell shops, and I think it will be almost this price, which is really a big loss. ”

Uncle Chen on the side was a little speechless when he heard this complaint, to say that no one in the village knows, the reason why Aunt Cha Wu took a fancy to herself was because her father and mother passed away early, and she didn't have to serve her in-laws as soon as she got married.

Now that she has a stake, she began to wish that she had in-laws to serve. I don't know what his father, who passed away a long time ago, will think when he hears it.

However, he didn't dare to say it openly, but just changed his method to comfort Aunt Cha and said, "What are you panicking about!" Last year, there was still more than half of the money left in the family, and now the family's new house has been built, and the furniture has been bought, just waiting to say goodbye to the two sons. Although we didn't have a lot of money this year, there was no problem in selling more than 200 taels of silver. I've heard that there are already people bidding seven taels and a half a catty, and if we wait, it may rise to eight taels of silver. ”

Hearing this, Aunt Cha's anger disappeared a little. Chen Wu was encouraged and continued to do ideological work for Aunt Cha Wu.

"When the time comes, you can sell it all if you want to, and if you don't want to sell it, let's keep it for seed and sell it next year. And that shop, whether it is rented or sold, the silver is divided equally, and we all have silver for sitting at home for nothing, why are you in a hurry? You don't want to think about what life was like in the past few years, and what life is now. This man is, can't be too greedy. ”

When Aunt Cha heard it, this is also the truth.

It's just that her dream has always been to buy a shop, and her mother makes noodles very well, and she is famous in her mother's house. If you have silver, when the time comes, you will take your mother over and sell noodles, which is decent and can earn silver, which is not as easy as farming.

However, after thinking about the fact that her two sons had not yet married, she was a little frustrated in her heart, so she dispelled the idea of buying a shop and began to be coquettish to Fifth Uncle Chen.

Fifth Uncle Chen saw that his mother-in-law suddenly began to complain, and his heart was not good. Recently, in order to have a child, he has been almost squeezed, and he is afraid when he thinks about it.

Who knows, Aunt Cha thinks differently from him.

I only heard Aunt Cha Wu say: "It's not easy for my father and mother to raise me so big, and I haven't enjoyed the happiness yet, so I married into your family, gave birth to two sons for you, and made cattle and horses for your father and three ......."

"Then give my father and mother five catties of longevity fruit, right? By the way, in the afternoon, we all went to the field to turn over the long fruits, and how much you turned was your father's, do you think it's okay? "Fifth Uncle Chen knows in his heart that if there is no blood this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass the test.

It's just that if you give up your wealth, you can give up your wealth, but fortunately, it's not a matter of having children.

When Aunt Cha heard that Uncle Chen was so generous, she became happy, but she walked faster, and wanted to hurry home to eat, so she ran to the field quickly.

She was able to get two or three pounds last year, and I think this year is not bad. After thinking about it, he said, "You also go with me to get it, don't be lazy." ”

Like Aunt Cha's family, there are those who need to build a house to marry their relatives and daughters, and they can't resist the temptation of the high prices of those who come to harvest the longevity fruit, and they talk flatteringly, or they all sell them all and exchange them for white flowers; Either half of it is sold, and the rest is kept as seeds.

Either they can't stand it, and from time to time they find relatives who come to the door to cry poor and send some out. But no matter what, everyone is happy.

There is a family that is already good, or has some heart, so they stick to it and don't sell it, honestly wash it, dry it on the bamboo mat, and wait for the price to rise.

In the afternoon, however, there was no need for anyone to inform them, and naturally the whole village was mobilized, and all men, women, and children were dispatched. Everyone did the same thing, all burying their heads and seriously turning over the long fruits in the ground.

Chen Jifa is no exception, although he does not lack such a little at all, but he loves the taste of the dried and fried longevity fruit, which is the most suitable for wine. And now Chen Qianfan is studying with Bai Zhi County in the county government, he wants to fry some and send them to Bai Zhi County to taste, which can be regarded as helping his son in another sense.

Speaking of which, this is not a bribe, but it is from his own land.

Because Fifth Uncle Chen had said in advance that no matter how much Aunt Cha found in the fifth aunt, it would be considered his mother's family, so he took her a basket separately in advance.

As for himself, he shared a basket with his two sons.

Aunt Cha thought about her father's expectant gaze, as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and the speed was staggering. When it was almost dark, all the land was turned over by everyone, and Aunt Cha's basket became heavier and heavier.

In other words, plus the five catties promised by Fifth Uncle Chen, it is a total of ten catties. This is the biggest gift that Aunt Cha has taken back to her parents' family since she got married.

After thinking about it, he didn't ask for Chen Wu's translation.

The next day, Aunt Cha took her two sons, carried ten catties of peanuts on her back, and returned to her parents' house proudly.

Aunt Cha's mother, Lu Shi, took the basket, and suddenly felt ecstatic in her heart, just this weight, at least seven or eight catties. Originally, she thought that it would be good to have three or four catties, after all, it was so expensive, but she didn't expect to get so much.

When Father Cha and Aunt Cha's two brothers and sisters-in-law met, they naturally praised Aunt Cha Wu for a while, and began to enthusiastically introduce the girls of their mother's family, which made Aunt Cha very proud.

After almost a year of construction, and the village has set a plan to focus on building these shops first, therefore, on September 21, all the shops in the village were built.

Early in the morning, the village chief called a team of lion dancers to cheer up, and the sound of firecrackers made it very lively for a while. The villagers gathered around, looking here and there, and their hearts were very excited.

Once upon a time, this kind of scene could only be seen in the county, and they were not well fed and clothed. Now, who would have thought that they could meet them right on their doorstep.

When the lion dancers dispersed, the village chief Chen Jifa took Ye to stand forward, and then said heroically: "Folks, don't talk about it, there is only one purpose for everyone to come today, that is, to tell everyone that the shops on this street and the shops on the back street have been built!" ”

Hearing this, everyone began to applaud.

After everyone quieted down, Chen Jifa continued: "These shops can be bought out at one time or rented. You can go and see it first, and if you like it, come to me, and I'll register you. Well, let's talk about it first, we don't accept outsiders today, only people from our Chenjia Village. What did Ye Feng say about that kid? Yes, give back to the folks. ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little proud. Chen's words clearly convey the idea that the people of their Chenjia Village have priority. As for the outsiders, even if they have money, they have to stand aside.

"Of course, I know that some of us have relatives and friends in our families, and we all want to buy shops. It doesn't matter, it's all related to each other, and it can be regarded as having a relationship with our Chenjia Village. It's okay to see, it's just that today's buying and selling and leasing are only for the villagers of our Chenjia Village, and the rest of the people will discuss tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled mysteriously, "By the way, let's get to know everyone first, the price is not the same, and it's cheaper for us to buy it ourselves." ”

When everyone heard this, they all agreed, especially several clan elders felt that they had face, and they were simply ancestors accumulating virtue. These shops were built in their Chenjia Village, and now they want to buy and sell and lease shops, so they are naturally close to the people of their Chenjia Village.

However, they also knew in their hearts that there were a lot of these shops, and the people of Chenjia Village had just become wealthy, and many people were willing to keep their silver at home and watch it every day, rather than take it out to buy a shop at once.

There are still risks associated with investing in something. If the family search conference is not held for a day, they will not have self-confidence for a day. It's still quite difficult to get outsiders to come here to consume.

However, some people have always wanted to buy and rent. The villager who was so impressed asked: "Village, what is the price of this shop, you can tell everyone, and everyone can sum it up in their hearts." ”

Chen Jifa had already prepared and said loudly: "This row of shops is just right, they are all two-storey, they can all be used for trading, you can also buy and sell on the first floor, and you can stay on the second floor. As for the size, there can be a table on the left and right of this shop, and a total of ten tables can be placed. Of course, there is also a stove room inside. It's just that this stove is not big, just enough. Therefore, there are forty shops in these two rows, and each one is three hundred taels. Of course, this is the price of the buyout, if the silver is not enough, you can also rent it, it is two taels of silver a month. ”

"I thought it was just over a hundred taels, but it cost three hundred taels, which is really not cheap. In this case, it is better to rent. ”

"What do you know, if you rent it, it's two taels of silver a month, and it's twenty-four taels of silver a year. In this way, more than ten years of rent can be bought. ”

"What you say is reasonable, but who can take out so much silver at once, three hundred taels is not a small amount."

Those who want to buy a shop are somewhat frightened by the price, chattering and discussing, calculating in their hearts whether it is cost-effective or not.

As for those who never thought of buying, they began to calculate, one shop is three hundred taels of silver, and the forty rooms are twelve thousand taels of silver. Now there are less than a thousand people in the village, and according to the calculation of a thousand people, that one person also gets twelve taels of silver.

Besides, there are more shops on the back street, and you can divide the silver without doing anything, can there be anything better in the world?

Seeing that everyone was almost discussed, Chen Jifa said again: "Everyone come with me, here and here, this street is not a road, but it is next to each other, and the location is also very good." The shops here are the same, they are all two-storey, and the size is the same, but the price is more affordable, only two hundred and thirty taels of silver. Rent, one or two halves a month. ”

Seeing that everyone started to discuss again, Chen Jifa took the lead and said: "There are so many shops in the village, and those by the lake are not for sale, they are used as inns." At that time, the income will be deposited or divided equally among the public. Okay, that's all I have to say, whether you buy or rent, you can negotiate for yourself. As for the time, it will not be more than tonight at the latest, and we will sell it tomorrow. ”

"Village chief, can this price be lowered a little more, if you want to say that this price is too expensive, we want to buy it, and the silver is not enough."

"You have a lot of money, and you can afford it, what should we do if we can't afford it, we can only do it in a hurry."

Hearing this, Chen Jifa said: "These shops were built with the silver of the village public, and I didn't let everyone give a little silver." And the money from the sale of the shop is divided equally, so what does it make if you can afford it and can't afford it. Those who bought the shop must have made some money, but they have spent so much money on the first side, and they have to work hard to return to their capital, so what is there to dissatisfaction with. As for the price, I'll give you a thorough understanding here, and I'm not afraid of what everyone will say. Take this row of shops as an example, the people in our village buy 300 taels. The people outside bought it, and it was four hundred taels of silver. ”

As soon as Chen Jifa said, everyone was boiling again, and it turned out that they had bought a hundred taels of silver less than the people from outside.

Ye Feng listened to it on the side, sweating on his head, this Chen Jifa was so simple, he dared to say these words directly. If you meet those who are flexible, you can settle down by yourself first, and then let the people outside pay the money first, won't you take advantage of the loophole and make this difference?

Especially for those who don't have the money to buy or don't want to take risks, when they hear Chen Jifa's words, think about it, it's also the truth, they haven't paid a penny, and they can still share the silver, it's already very difficult, but they can't be satisfied.

Otherwise, if they anger the village chief, they will be expelled from the village or not divided into money, and they will have nothing to do. But if you live in peace, life here is as happy as a fairy.

As a result, the people who didn't buy the shop automatically became a faction, for fear that the village chief would not be able to withstand the begging of everyone to reduce the price. Although they didn't buy shops, they still strolled around curiously, and this was the first time they had seen these shops so closely, which was really magnificent.

Some of them hurried to their parents' house to inform people, after all, it is not only ordinary people who will participate in the competition tomorrow, it is said that there are also those bosses in the county, as well as businessmen from neighboring counties who have heard the news. If those people take the lead, it won't work, and I will live here for nothing.

While thinking about it, I ran to my mother's house, thinking that I would let them live here tonight, and start tomorrow morning.

Besides, you can take a look at the shop tonight and discuss it in advance.

As for those who want to buy a shop, they go on a field trip according to the business they want to do. For example, those who are ready to sell wine think that although the street behind is not as good as the two rows of shops in front, the so-called aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley, after all, there are seventy taels of silver missing here in the back.

Those who were going to make food were a little hesitant, thinking that the previous one was better, but it was seventy taels more expensive, and they didn't know if it was worth it.

Ye Feng didn't hesitate, looked at it a little, and bought the three shops on the street with the best location in one go, and the three shops were connected, so that they could take care of each other in both business and life in the future.

Holding nine hundred taels of silver, Chen Jifa felt a little emotional, Ye Feng, this kid was really ruthless, there were three shops at once, he just bought one, and he was still very hesitant in his heart.

However, Chen Qianfan said that this shop will definitely make a profit in the future, because he is ready to let Chen Jifa sell the four treasures of the study and some books. Chen Jifa thought about it, now that there is a school in the village, the students naturally want to buy these four treasures of the study.

When you win the show in the future, you may have to buy some books to read.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Jifa pulled Ye Feng and said quietly: "Why are you buying so many shops by yourself?" Oh, you don't want to sell it to outsiders, do you? ”

Since Ye Feng told him about opportunism, Chen Jifa began to strictly examine those who wanted to buy a shop, and he had to pay the money immediately, and he would go to the county the day after tomorrow to pass the file, without giving them any chance.

Ye Feng said: "I'm just one person, but there are a lot of people in my family. Qianyu's girl has suffered since she was a child, and she feels distressed when she thinks about it, I don't have much ability to be an uncle, so I bought a shop for her, and I can be regarded as having a support in the future. As for the remaining two, one was handed over to the fifth sister to take care of, and I cooperated to open a shop, and the money was divided equally, which could be regarded as helping her live a worry-free life. The other one, as you must know, is going to open a bonsai shop and sell some flowers and trees. So you see, where is it? ”

Chen Jifa saw Ye Feng so selfless, and he was a little emotional for a while.

He originally thought that Chen Wumei would have a miserable life, after all, a woman who was driven back by her husband's family had no good end since ancient times.

However, as soon as Chen Wumei came back, although she lived with Mrs. Liu, she learned the craft with Ye Feng every day, not only learned to plant flowers and trees, but also bought land with her own silver and planted a lot of fruit trees grafted by herself.

Look at the situation, next year we can have a good harvest.

And Fan Jifei's kid leaned towards him at every turn, his brother had already acquiesced, but Chen Wumei didn't speak, and finally saw that she was in a hurry to chase her, and only said: "Are you willing to wait for me for three years." If you don't change your mind for three years, I will have my own plans then. ”

The village said that Fan Jifei was stunned, and he didn't marry a good yellow flower girl, but he was obsessed with a woman who was abandoned. But he just didn't give up, not only agreed to Chen Wumei's request, but also helped him prune fruit trees, plough the land and fertilize it, and was very diligent.

The people in the village watched the two of them grow up, and gradually no one gossiped, but they had something to say, and when they thought of Ye Feng's eyes, they didn't dare anymore.

Ye Feng can now catch the line of the county magistrate, and it is very simple to kill himself. Gossip is comfortable, but life matters.
