Chapter 247: Title Deed in Hand
Old Man Zhou also knew that the village chief was not a stupid person, and there was nothing to hide about this matter. It's all about later.
So with a happy face, he said generously, "Hehe, that's it." I want to open a workshop at home to do some business. There was no place to go, so I had to find a new place to build a house. ”
Of course, the smart old man Zhou didn't talk about any soy sauce and the Jin family.
The village chief didn't think of this reason, but he just turned his head and thought it was normal.
Picking up the tea next to him, the village chief took a sip, and the hot water went into his stomach, which was so comfortable that the village chief's head was a lot clearer. At the same time, I thought to myself, what kind of five-spice dried dried spice made by the Zhou family this year seems to have really made a lot of money.
If the other people in the village don't know what business the Zhou family does, but the village chief definitely knows, and many people in the village know about it, after all, it's been so long, a village. How can you hide it for so long.
"Okay, old man Zhou. Your house is going to get up. Fancy, the homestead is not expensive. You also know that the homesteads in the village are cheap, and only three taels of silver are charged for one acre of land. The village chief did not make any difficulties, and replied briskly. Anyway, the houses built in the village are like this, which one you fancie, as long as no one wants it, it is very cheap.
"Okay, village chief, don't you believe what the old man said? The family took a fancy to the open space near the foot of the mountain near the bamboo forest in the east, which was good, so they wanted to build the workshop there. "The place that Old Man Zhou said is actually very remote, there is a large bamboo forest there, and there is a mountain behind it. The land there is very poor. Nobody wants there.
"Old man Zhou, you want to be there, it's quite out of the way."
"Hehe, it's okay, the workshop, it's better to stay away from the village." lest those women who like to talk things have nothing to do every day, and their eyes will be red at that time, and it will be convenient for those people to make tricks right in front of them.
"It's okay, no one will go to that land, you see how many acres you want, and I'll go to the town to complete the formalities for you when the time comes."
"Village chief, it's all about that."
"Old man Zhou, think about it clearly. Although it was very barren, the place was still quite large. It seems that there are more than ten acres if not twenty acres. "The village chief sat up straight, which house needs such a big place. And it's just to build a workshop, and the workshop doesn't need to be so big.
"Hehe, it's fine. The village chief, I want that piece. Buy there first, it's better to be bigger. Maybe you'll need it later. It's okay, you look at the specific number of acres, and I'll give you the silver later. You help go to the yamen to go through the formalities. Old Man Zhou replied with a smile.
In fact, the reason why we want such a big place is because the soy sauce made will have to be placed in cans one after another to dry, which will take up a lot of space. Zhou Ziya's idea is to prefer to be bigger than small. The Zhou family discussed and felt that this was also the case, so they bought it all.
The village chief looked at Old Man Zhou with a happy face, and he looked very serious. I also know that he has made up his mind. It's hard to say more. It's just that the place is specific, and he really doesn't know. The two old men slowly went to measure it carefully. It took a lot of time. The results are in. It was really as the village chief expected, a total of more than 18 acres. Close to nineteen acres. However, the village chief is counted as eighteen acres, three taels of silver per acre, a total of 54 taels of silver. Old Man Zhou gave the village chief 60 taels. In addition to the tax money that needs to be done, the rest is even the silver that troubles the village chief.
The village chief collected the money, and the speed of work was super fast. Three days later, people came to Zhou's house and sent the title deed with the official seal. The Zhou family was very happy when they saw the fresh title deeds.
