Chapter 140: Pear Blossom Village
As he spoke, he put a dustpan covered with a white cloth on the stove, Wu didn't appreciate it very much, and snorted coldly, "We don't dare to ask for your Xu family's things, otherwise who knows what kind of immoral way to frame our family." ”
Xiao Ma's also didn't have a good face, if it weren't for Cheng Fang and Li Blind colluding to frame Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang, their family would not have been driven out of Shiqiao Village last year.
Ma stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do for a while.
In fact, Cheng Xi thinks that this Ma family is very good, and she has no choice but to marry into a family like the Xu family, and she is helpless, but even in that kind of family, her own children are also well taught, just compare her adopted son with Xu Erlang, it is very different.
She saw with her own eyes how Xu Erlang treated Xu Sanlang, but Xu Dalang and Xu Sanlang have always regarded him as a big brother, and they didn't forget to see him before leaving.
When Ma was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Cheng Xi went over to uncover the burden, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite first, before saying with a smile, "Then you're welcome, it's already past the time for lunch, I'm really hungry, Aunt Wu, do you want to eat a cushion first?" ”
Seeing that Cheng Xi ate the steamed buns sent over, Wu and Xiao Ma couldn't continue to talk about the cool words, they all closed their mouths and were busy cooking, leaving Cheng Xi to talk to Ma while nibbling on the steamed buns, "How about it, did the old lady agree?" ”
Listening to Cheng Xi's inquiry, Ma forgot the embarrassment at this time, and responded with a happy smile, "I agreed." ”
Then he said a little depressedly, "This promise is promised, but, hey......"
Cheng Xi could almost guess, "Is the family's money in the hands of the old lady?" I heard that a lot of grain has also been sold? ”
Wu nodded helplessly, "The grain is almost half sold, but the money in the family is not in the hands of the old lady, but it is taken to the capital by the fourth uncle. ”
To say that this matter was caused by Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi also wanted to help the Ma family in the face of Xu Sanlang's eldest brother who had never met, but at this time, although Cheng Xi wanted to help, it was because of Aunt Wu and the fourth aunt, and it was difficult to speak, so he only said, "It's finally separated, no matter how sad the days are, you can always get through it, and besides, isn't there Xu Lan, she is now working in Yu Gongzi's place, and she has a salary every month." ”
Speaking of his daughter, Ma Shi also responded with a smile, "Yes, Lan girl, thanks to your help, she finally got rid of the vampires in that family, and she can always get through the days." ”
Xiao Ma and Wu were busy with the work in their hands, while listening to the two people talking, and at this time they almost heard some clues, this Xiao Ma asked suspiciously, "You have broken up?" ”
Ma Shi nodded, "Mother-in-law has already agreed, just wait for the end of the year to divide it." ”
Xiao Ma said, "Your family is the boss, and the old woman still doesn't follow you after this family is divided?" ”
Ma Shi responded, "Why did you follow us, did you forget that our family still has a talented talent?" She is still waiting for the fourth child to come out in the future, and she will follow Xiangfu as an old lady, she must follow the fourth child. ”
Wu can snort, "She thinks it is beautiful, and she doesn't ask if her precious son is happy." ”
Ma Shi smiled awkwardly at Wu's family, and it was not good to continue to delay people's cooking here, so he said, "You guys are busy first, and I'll go back first." ”
After saying hello, he turned and left.
After the Ma family left, the Wu family spoke, "Your cousin thinks very well, thinking that she can get rid of the Xu family's family if she separates the family, I don't think it's so easy, you think about how much effort Xu Saburo and Xi Yatou took to get rid of that old woman." ”
Xiao Ma also responded, "If you say that, it's really possible." ”
Cheng Xi said with a smile, "Do you think this Xu Wenqiang is me and Xu Sanlang, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the old lady wants to learn to deal with me and Xu Sanlang to deal with him, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”
Wu said with a smile, "You are embarrassed to say that old woman who had no interest at the beginning." ”
Cheng Xi sighed and replied, "Aren't I still young, and at that time, I really didn't have any means to fight them." ”
Xiao Ma greeted the two of them while busy in the pot, "Don't worry about other people's houses first, hurry up and cook, at this time, everyone is afraid that they are hungry enough." ”
After that, a few people were busy cooking and didn't say anything about the Xu family.
Everyone had a lunch, and the Cheng family went to the grave again to give Cheng Xi's grandfather a grave, and then the group rushed to the county seat, and they didn't care about what happened in Shiqiao Village after that.
The days when I returned to the county town were calm again, and the one-year contract signed with Ruyi Restaurant about fat intestines has also expired.
In this year, as Cheng Xi expected, a lot of counterfeit products have emerged like spring shoots, but they have not been able to compare with Ruyi Restaurant, other people's counterfeit products always have a smell that cannot be removed, and the Liu's secret fat sausage specially supplied by Ruyi Fang has also gained a reputation as Cheng Xi expected.
Cheng Xi and the Liu family also began to get busy, preparing to open the Liu's secret fat sausage, the store is still under the name of the Liu family, and Cheng Xi is responsible for sales.
With the signboard that was played before, it was much easier for Cheng Xi to go out to talk about cooperation with those restaurants, plus the backer of Yu Zhaocai, and she didn't worry about someone going to her, and the opening of the store was very smooth.
In this way, the supply will definitely increase, and their production will also increase, and at this time, there is no way to recruit people because they are worried about the leakage of the secret recipe, so Aunt Liu has to go back to her hometown to recruit some reliable people.
Cheng Xi taught Uncle Liu and Uncle Fu to divide the fat sausage into several processes, and then the workers were responsible for each process in batches, so that the leakage of the secret recipe was alleviated a lot, and the work efficiency would be improved.
After more than two months of busy work, the store is basically on the right track, and Anyang County has also ushered in a new county magistrate, and Xu Wenyu has not heard any news since he went to Beijing.
Liu's secret fat sausage shop was on the right track, with Uncle Liu and Uncle Fu Zhang Luo, Cheng Xi finally became idle, and began to think about the wishes of her local mother-in-law, and the silver left by Xu Sanlang in her hand was almost five or six hundred taels, and Cheng Xi planned to use it to buy land.
But the land is really not easy to buy, one acre or two acres is not difficult, want to buy a larger piece of land together is not easy, until June, Xiong Da finally heard that there is a relatively remote Lihua Village, that village has a rich man's son out of the house, settled in Fucheng, the family has to move to Fucheng, so the Zhuangzi of Lihua Village plans to sell.
Cheng Xi couldn't wait to bring Xiong Da and Xiong Er over, that place was really a bit remote, and the carriage that borrowed Yu Zhaocai went over was almost in the afternoon, but after arriving, Cheng Xi looked at the sparsely populated village but was very satisfied.
This village is located in the valley of two endless mountains, called Ewha Village, and there are really many pear trees, and there are not only pear trees, but also many other fruit trees.
The rich man's subordinates, while taking them to the grange, introduced them, "The population in this village is relatively small, mainly because there are not many fields, and those few villagers, many of them also rely on fruit trees to make a living, but the fruit is not food, and it can't be put away, if the opportunity is good and can be sold at a good price, this life will be better, if the luck is bad, the fruit can't be sold, and their life will be more difficult, so most of the people in this village only want to go out, and no one from outside has ever thought of coming into our village. There are fewer and fewer people. ”
Cheng Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then do you have fruit trees in your grange?" ”
The man replied, "Madame, don't worry, of course, the grange is all farmland, there are no fruit trees, and the only good fertile field in this village is the village of our master." ”
Cheng Xi listened with some regret, if only this grange had fields and fruit trees.
The descendant of the rich man's family is also a smart person, as soon as he saw the disappointed look on Cheng Xi's face, he knew that the little lady still wanted an orchard, and hurriedly introduced, "But there is a small orchard next to our grange, this pear flower village is full of fruit trees, this kind of orchard is not valuable, the lord originally thought about it, forget it, leave a person to watch, and when the fruit is ripe, you can pick it and send it to Fucheng to taste it, if the lady wants, you can talk to the master." ”
Cheng Xi's eyes lit up and he responded, "Take us to see it first." ”
The man continued as he walked, "If this orchard is placed in other places, it is rare and tight, but unfortunately our Lihua Village is too remote, far away from the county seat, and few people come, it is worthless in the end, if Madam wants it, my lord will not charge you too high a price." ”
Cheng Xi was even more moved when she heard it, but she didn't know if it was enough for five or six hundred taels in her hand, and if it wasn't enough, she could only pull the rest of the money into the gang, anyway, this orchard was in her hands, and she would definitely make a profit in the future, and she didn't dare to say anything else, if she wanted to say that she was making all kinds of food, she was full of confidence.
After looking at the grange, and then looking at the orchard, the grange has more than 100 acres, all of which are high-quality fields, and it costs 800 taels of silver, and the orchard actually has more than 100 acres, but the price is indeed much cheaper, and the rich man is also a good talker, directly 1,000 taels of silver, and promised to sell the Zhuangzi orchard to Cheng Xi together.
Of course, Cheng Xi was willing, but the silver on his body was still not enough, so he simply gave a deposit of five hundred taels first, and agreed to make up another five hundred taels when he went to the county town to go through the land deed procedures.
After returning to the county seat, Cheng Xi took Yu Zhaocai into the gang, and bought the orchard of Pear Blossom Village Grange for five hundred taels of silver per person.
Yu Zhaocai really spoiled Cheng Xi as his own sister, he didn't lack these few silvers, Cheng Xi agreed as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't expect much money to be made there, anyway, he planned to be tossed by Cheng Xi, she was happy.
