Chapter 45: Buying Land
"Are you sure?" Ash Sebang was a little unconvinced. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Actually, it's very simple to make semi-soft white bread. ”
Speaking of this, he asked Lin Xue to take out the semolina, there were no impurities in the flour, and it was in good condition.
Ash Shibang's face was still calm, and he naturally knew that he needed such flour to bake white bread.
I saw Lin Xue then take out a jar and pour out a ball of flour kneaded from it.
"Isn't this still flour?" Ash Shibang looked puzzled.
I only heard Lin Xiao explain: "This is called koji, and the lord will know it when he smells it." ”
When he got the koji, Ash Shibang sniffed it carefully, he did smell it on the semi-soft white bread, but the taste was not so strong.
"You only need a little koji mixed with flour to ferment to bake semi-soft white bread, and a can of koji can bake at least 100 semi-soft white breads, and if you do a good job, you can bake soft white bread." Lin Xiao continued.
But Gray Shibang still didn't believe Lin Xiao very much, so he had to let Lin Xue bake the bread himself, waiting for the bread to come out of the oven, and Gray Shibang completely believed it.
"I don't know if the price is enough." Lin Xiao continued.
Gray Shibang nodded and said, "As long as you hand over the method of making koji, the master will sell you the land on the west side!" ”
Lin Xiao shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, but I can't hand over how to make koji."
Gray Shibang was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Xiao to suddenly regret it, and was about to have a seizure, only to hear Lin Xiao continue: "But I can sell the koji to the lord." ”
"Aren't you afraid of me robbing you?" Gray Shibang said coldly.
The eyes of more than a dozen guards all fell on Lin Xiao's body, this time they were a little smarter, with bows and arrows.
Lin Xiao only had four guards around him, and no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't defeat more than a dozen people, which was the reason why Gray Shibang was so greedy.
Lin Xiao is not afraid of Gray Shibang, even if there are only four guards beside him, you must know that these four guards are all based on reorganized super soldiers, he doesn't know if he is one enemy and ten, and he will definitely be able to do it with one enemy and four.
What's more, he has a red laser pistol by his side, and it is not too easy to deal with the dozen or so guards in the house.
"Isn't your lord worried about me running away?" Lin Xiao still asked calmly.
Since he was going to buy a piece of land, it was impossible to leave, and Ash Shibang should be able to think of this.
Lin Xiao didn't run, which meant that the source of the koji could be guaranteed, and he continued: "The koji is not easy to make, and the lord of the wise and martial arts must not embarrass us because of a little profit, right......?"
Hearing this, Gray Shibang's expression kept changing, and he suddenly laughed and said:
"Haha, that's good, I can sell you land, but the number of koji cans must never be less than 100 cans per month."
In fact, koji is not difficult to make, he can make at least 100 cans a day, but he can't show that koji is worthless, Lin Xiao said 'hesitantly':
"My lord, I'm afraid this is a bit ......."
Seeing that Gray Shibang glared at him angrily, Lin Xiao closed his mouth and looked a little 'scared'.
Gray Shibang seemed to be afraid that Lin Xiao would regret it, so he immediately signed a contract and gave him the land deed, and from now on, the wasteland seven kilometers west will belong to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao also wants to provide Gray Shibang with wine koji, each of which must not be less than 100 cans, and each can will pay him 1 silver coin, which is also the first time that Gray Shibang has been so generous.
After signing the contract, Gray Shibang couldn't help but say that he 'invited' Lin Xiao out, not giving him a chance to regret it.
"My lord, I regret it, I don't want to sign it!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly outside the door.
", the contract has been signed, it's useless for you to regret it!"
Lin Xiao, who was despised by the servant, glanced at him and slammed the door shut.
In the end, Lin Xiao could only leave here 'helplessly', and he could get a large coal mine by paying only some worthless koji, and he was still very excited, but he didn't show it.
Since he has bought that wasteland, it means that everything in the wasteland belongs to him, including the coal mine.
The status of coal mines in the Middle Earth Kingdom is not very high, and it is completely inferior to iron ore, which can be mined on the bright side.
Although he knew the location of the coal mine, Lin Xiao didn't want to be too purposeful, so that Gray Shibang thought that he was here for the coal mine, and his previous performance was wasted.
The coal mine must be dug up, but to make its appearance coincidental will only make others think that he is lucky.
Therefore, Lin Xiao began to recruit workers in the town to develop the wasteland under the pretext of building houses.
There is nothing wrong with this reason, there is not much area of wasteland that can be used as arable land, and the excess land must be used to build houses.
Lin Xiao deliberately focused on the edge of the coal mine where the house was built, so that when digging the foundation, he could be 'lucky' to dig out the coal mine.
After recruiting enough workers, Lin Xiao started work, because the coal mine is several meters deep, the foundation may not be dug, and he deliberately wants to build a basement and dig deeper.
A few days passed, and a worker was digging in the soil when he suddenly dug up a piece of black dirt, which he didn't care about at first.
But the black dirt was dug more and more, and the workers exclaimed, attracting all the workers around.
"What is this?"
Most of the workers apparently did not know about coal and looked curious.
I saw a middle-aged worker squeezing into the crowd and saying, "Coal, this is coal!" ”
"Hurry up and report to Lord Lin!"
Lin Xiao soon learned the news, and looking at these workers who came to inform him, he said, "You really found coal?" ”
"It's true, how dare you deceive your lord." The middle-aged worker hurriedly said.
Lin Xiao then came to the construction site, and sure enough, he found coal, his pale face seemed to have regained some ruddyness, and said: "Stop building houses now, dig coal with all your might, and if you don't want to do it, you can get today's wages and leave." ”
None of the workers left because they didn't want to lose their hard-won jobs, which were more lucrative than farming.
Nodding, the worker directly replaced the tools in his hand and began to dig coal.
The news of the discovery of coal in the wasteland soon spread to the town, and all the merchants in the town were envious, knowing that coal mines were very valuable.
As long as you have it in your hands, you can get a steady stream of money, and you don't have to worry about iron ore and copper ore being robbed by the nobles using the laws of the Middle Kingdom.
The lord of Huangsha Town, Gray Shibang, soon got the news, his face was a little unsightly, he actually sold such a gold mountain.
The first contract has been signed, and the coal mine no longer belongs to him, if it is the iron and copper mines, he can still use the law to get them back, but this is a coal mine.
"If you lose it, you lose it."
Ash Shibang comforted himself and wanted to make a fortune from a coal mine, unless the coal mine was very large, which was rare, and he didn't think it was a large coal mine.
At most, it is a medium-sized coal mine, which is nothing more than the loss of some money, and he makes soft white bread with the baking of koji, but there is a good chance that he will be added to the rank and knighthood, and the loss can be earned back at that time!
