Chapter 62: Measuring the Land, Jealousy
Shu Qingai looked for a handful of small greens in the vegetable field angrily, and then entered the kitchen angrily!
For the first time in his life, he planted vegetables so smartly, he was going to be eaten by those pigs, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became! In this mountain, it is really the best everywhere!
After breakfast, Zhou Dahai went up the mountain early in the morning, thinking that Shu Qingai was going to measure the land today, so he came to accompany Mo Chen, because Li Mochen was injured recently, Qiu Shi did not let him enter the mountain again, so far there is nothing to do at home.
Shu Qingai's news of wanting to sell land soon spread in the village. Many people envy it, and many people don't cut it!
"Hehe, what's the point of buying land, isn't it all wasteland? It must be dangerous to live in the mountains, look at her man, wasn't he bitten by a wolf and turned into a waste? She hasn't moved down sooner, so what else do you have to look at? ”
Shu Qingai and the village chief and the people in the town were measuring the geographical line, and Cheng Niangzi talked to the woman on the side while knocking on the melon seeds. The tone was sour, it was disdainful, but there was a flame of jealousy in his eyes.
The surrounding area is full of people from the village who come to see the excitement, and those who buy more than a dozen acres of land in one go are the first in the countryside.
"You're not there, what's wrong with the wasteland? If you have the ability, your family can also buy more than a dozen acres? ”
Fang and Qiu stood together, and when they heard Cheng Niangzi's words, Fang couldn't help but reply a few words.
Cheng Niangzi has always been unaccustomed to Shu Qingai, if someone helps Shu Qingai speak, she will hate that person together! Anyway, in this life, her enmity with Shu Qingai is over!
"Yo, you got in stitch so quickly? Did I get to you? Where are you talking? ”
Fang Shi rolled his eyes, did she call a talk? She obviously just looks at her unhappy, and she is laughing at her, this is a good lady, I really don't know what is good or bad.
"Come on, don't be like that kind of person, people are red and soothing."
Qiu Shi pulled the Fang clan and persuaded him.
It took almost half an hour for more than a dozen acres of wasteland to measure it and bury the boundary stone, which was used as a mark, just waiting for the village chief to complete the land deed, and this piece of land belonged to Shu Qingai.
Shu Qingai really didn't know that this place could be like a modern real estate certificate, and the names of several people could be written, and by the way, he reported the names of himself and Li Mochen to the village chief.
This satisfied her little sense of happiness, looking at this piece of land, thinking about the time between herself and Limo Chen, even if this day was much more difficult than the previous life, but full of hope.
After measuring the land, the village chief summed it up, a total of twelve acres, and it would take forty-eight taels of silver to buy the land alone.
The crowd smacked their tongues again! These forty-eight taels! How many brick houses do you have to build? That's not all, I heard that Shu Qingai was going to build a house, and for a while, many people came up.
The two old women of the Qian family and the Zhou Zhang family were the leaders, and they stopped Shu Qingai on the way back with Shu Qingai and the village chief.
"Hey, girl, you see that your family is about to build a new house, our Dongzi will do this job, or let Dongzi give you a good house, and I promise to give you a beautiful start!"
"What do you say? My sea and this girl man, that's like worshipping the brothers, even if you want to invite someone, that's to invite my sea, your Dongzi hasn't paid off the twenty taels, and you still want to take advantage of this? Yours beautiful! ”
Zhou Zhangshi saw that Shu Qingai was listening to Qian's words, and he was anxious, so he squeezed forward as soon as he pulled Qian away, and smiled at Shu Qingai with his face.
Shu Qing sneered in her love, these two old women are really cheeky to get home, they can be called the face of the city wall, they can be so thick.
"Auntie, I still have something to discuss with the village chief, you two continue."
After the words fell, Shu Qingai squeezed out the encirclement of the two and strode towards the village chief, leaving the two old women to look at each other, snorted coldly at each other, and went directly to their respective homes.
Shu Qingai turned around and saw this scene, and felt funny, just now the two mothers-in-law were still affectionate like old sisters, and now they say that they will turn their faces, this kung fu is a perfect cultivation!
When she arrived at the village chief's house, Shu Qingai took out fifty-five taels of silver and handed it to the village chief: "Village chief, please help me complete the title deed and house deed." ”
The village chief saw that it was a fifty taels of silver ingots plus five taels of broken silver, which was almost a few more silver, and took out two pieces of broken silver and put them on the table: "Forty-eight taels of silver for buying land, and the remaining three taels are semi-homesteads, I keep two taels of dots and land deeds, you put them away first, and I will return the rest to you." ”
Shu Qingai was surprised, didn't she say that the village officials were all officials? Is this village chief really incorruptible?
"No, these two village chiefs stay in the town for a light meal or something, they won't let you run away in vain."
The village chief shook his head with a righteous face, and pushed back again.
"Do whatever you have to do, do things for the people in the village, this is what I, who was born as the head of a village, should do, how dare I collect more."
Seeing that the village chief said this, Shu Qingai couldn't continue, so he had to put away the two taels of silver. Suddenly, I found that when I came to the village chief's house in the past two days, I didn't seem to see Chen Taohua and Li Lili.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask: "Lili and Auntie are not at home these days?" I haven't seen it in days. ”
Seeing Shu Qingai mention the two, the village chief sighed and shook his head again: "I went to relatives." ”
Seeing that the village chief didn't want to say more, Shu Qingai didn't continue to ask, in fact, she wasn't afraid that Li Lili would take out Limochen's appearance and publicize it, Limochen's memory would soon recover, and when the time came, what should be faced was always to be faced.
In fact, Shu Qingai also has a way to quickly help Li Mochen recover her memory, and after thinking about it for a few days, she still didn't have the courage, so let him have more holy water and let it go.
Back at home, Zhou Dahai was still there, and after discussing the materials needed to build a house, and the craftsmen invited, Shu Qingai took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Hai in his arms.
"Brother Dahai, all this depends on you, I don't know where there are blue bricks and black tiles for sale, Ah Chen has also shown the sketch, when the time comes, you can find some craftsmen to help me choose a day to start work."
Zhou Dahai was not polite, and only after taking the silver did he add: "That wasteland is early today, your sister-in-law took me to see it, and I have to pick it up there, you choose a location, we will clean up the weeds, trees and stones there first, and then we can dig the foundation, and the rest of the land can be picked up while the house is raised." ”
Shu Qingai didn't expect so much, but that wasteland was indeed overgrown with weeds and messy, some trees were also very big, and some were small trees that grew crooked melons and cracked dates, Shu Qingai felt that it was better to clean up some.
"Okay, this matter is still handed over to Brother Dahai, if you don't find some people in the village to help clean it up, those trees will be cut down if they are really ugly, and the better ones will be left, anyway, I plan to build a courtyard wall to enclose those dozen acres of wasteland."
Zhou Dahai was shocked! More than a dozen acres of land are all fenced off? This has to catch up with the houses of big families!
When did Mo Chen make so much money? When he got married, he also said that he only had more than forty taels, except for the expenses when he got married, he only had a few taels left, even if he made some silver during this time, he shouldn't have earned so much!
Seeing Zhou Dahai's surprised expression, Li Mochen didn't want him to think about it, so he told him about the cooperation with Chunfeng Lou, but he didn't say how much he earned.
Zhou Dahai felt even more incredible! This Chunfeng Lou is a famous restaurant in the town and county, and it must be a great honor to cooperate with Chunfeng Lou! In an instant, Zhou Dahai looked at Shu Qingai's eyes with admiration!
"Brother and sister, it's really hidden, no wonder my brother and sister are good at cooking, it turns out that even the young owner of Chunfeng Building appreciates the person, can he not be amazing?"
Zhou Dahai's unsparing praise made Shu Qingai a little embarrassed.
In fact, in this era, there is only a shortage of condiments, and if there are any condiments, many people can make delicious things. She just knew some home-cooked food and snacks in her previous life, but she didn't expect those hobbies, in this era, to help her get rid of poverty and become rich.
"Brother Dahai, don't boast, I have to ask you to worry about building a house, since I still have to hire someone, I don't know how much to pay, there are still twenty taels here, you can help me look at it, it's all from the villagers, and you don't need to calculate much, it's better to give a little more than others, so they will be happy to get the job in a hurry."
Saying that, Shu Qingai took out twenty taels of silver again and handed it over to Zhou Dahai, not that she didn't want to do it herself, but mainly because it was inconvenient for Mo Chen's legs and feet, and she couldn't do without people at home.
It is impossible to ask others to take care of it, after all, except for Zhou Dahai and his wife, Shu Qingai can't find anyone to trust.
"What can I do, I've never received so much silver, I can't help it."
Zhou Dahai was holding a huge sum of forty taels, and he was worried!
I usually handle more than 100 copper plates, and recently because Shu Qing loves their care, they have sold some astragalus, but it is also the amount of a few taels of silver. Shu Qingai's shot is forty taels, and he feels a lot of pressure! If you accidentally lose it, you can't afford to lose it!
"Brother Dahai is still modest, this little bit of silver is not much, when the work comes, I have to hand over more in your hands, you have to help me with this, when the yard is built, Ah Chen can rest assured that he will recuperate."
In the end, Zhou Dahai returned home with a violent heartbeat, and as soon as he entered the house, he dragged her back to the house when he found Qiu. Seeing Zhou Zhang's brows, he hid in the corner and eavesdropped!
"What for? In broad daylight, you pull people into the house, and you are not afraid that your father and mother will see a joke! ”
Qiu's face was shy, and Zhou Dahai rarely held his hand like this outside, and he was really shy for a while.
