Chapter 28 Buying Land
There you have it, buy land!
Lin Yunxuan remembered that once in her previous life, she was so tired of helping her grandmother pull peanuts that she doubted her life, and she was still thinking about why her grandmother planted peanuts, if only they couldn't grow peanuts there, then she wouldn't have to pull peanuts.
Later, she went online to check the information of peanuts and learned that peanuts prefer sandy soil areas with warm climate and moderate rainfall. However, peanuts are more adaptable to the soil, and a certain yield can be obtained even on barren soil. But the higher the peanut yield, the better the soil conditions required. Peanuts are planted in many provinces in China, and the annual planting area and output of peanuts in nine southern provinces and regions account for almost one-third of the country.
Gangtou Village is located in the south, and since peanuts can grow on the mountain, it means that the climate and soil here are suitable for growing peanuts. So, in principle, as long as she finds the right land, she can conduct a peanut transplant experiment.
Since they want to buy land, they simply don't do it at all, then buy more land, and it's time to improve their living environment.
The thatched house of the Zhao family has been around for a long time, and it is okay to live in summer, but in winter, the wind swishs into it, and it is so cold that people shiver. I heard that the winter in Gangtou Village is wet and cold, and in the past two years, Zhao Dalin's family is most afraid of winter, and it is not easy to survive every winter.
When Lin Yunxuan learned this information from He Cuifang and Zhao An, she secretly decided in her heart that after solving the problem of food and clothing, she must build a blue brick house with warm winters and cool summers before winter comes, so that everyone can spend the winter in peace.
As the saying goes, if you vote for peach and plum, I will repay you with elixir!
Besides, food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the basic needs of human survival, and Zhao Dalin used to have poor conditions, so he had no choice but to reluctantly solve the three things of clothing, food and housing. For most of their lives, they have only dealt with the land, and they have no need to travel, so there is no so-called requirement for this part.
But now it is different from the past, with the help of Lin Yunxuan, they have made money, and now they not only have rice and noodles to eat at every meal, but also vegetables and meat, and their clothes do not need to be sewn and mended for another three years. Food and clothing are not a problem, then it is the turn to improve the living environment. As the saying goes, live and work in peace and contentment, and only by living in peace can you be happy and live a more stable life.
Previously, Lin Yunxuan, Zhao Dalin and He Cuifang only mentioned that they wanted to build a new house, but they did not say whether they would pick up the thatched house and build a new house on the original site, or buy another land to build a new house.
If they take the thatched house and build a new house on the original site, it means that they have to move, and not only have to find another place to live in the period before the new house is built, but this new house must also be convenient for them to work, and they must not delay the delivery to the drunken fairy building.
If you buy another piece of land to build a new house, apart from spending some money, the previous problems do not exist.
Lin Yunxuan firmly believes that problems that can be solved with money are not problems, so she decided to buy land and build a new house.
At dinner, Lin Yunxuan formally put forward a proposal to buy land and build a house at the dinner table.
Except for Lin Yunxuan, several people at the dinner table were shocked, they didn't expect this day to come so quickly......
"You, are you telling the truth?" He Cuifang was a little in a trance and couldn't believe it.
Lin Yunxuan nodded firmly.
"Do we have enough money to build a new house now?" Zhao Dalin scratched his head and asked nervously.
"It should be enough, I asked Shopkeeper Li, and the cost of the courtyard in the general three entrances is about thirty taels of silver." Lin Yunxuan looked at He Cuifang and said affirmatively, and at the end, she said seemingly indifferently: "If you don't have enough money, you can make it again!" “
He Cuifang nodded lightly at Zhao Dalin: "We have saved more than fifty taels of silver now, and it should be enough to build a house." ”
Except for Qian Lin Yunxuan, who sells recipes, she collects it herself, and she hands over the rest of her income to He Cuifang for safekeeping, so He Cuifang knows very well how much money her family has.
Fifty taels of silver! Zhao Dalin didn't believe his ears a little.
That's a lot of money! It was the first time he had a huge amount of money when he was so big, and he didn't expect him to have a huge amount of money one day. Zhao Dalin was so excited that the corners of his eyes were wet.
"So what kind of house are we going to build?" When Zhao An heard that he could build a new house soon, he felt that the food in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
"Is it better than the uncle's?" Zhao Yun'er also happily put down the dishes and chopsticks to join the discussion. In her eyes, the blue brick house of the uncle's house is the most beautiful house.
"Is the uncle's house beautiful? What kind of house do you want to build? Lin Yunxuan looked at Zhao An and Zhao Yun'er, her eyes full of smiles.
"Winter is impermeable, warm." Zhao An was probably frightened by the biting chill of winter, and the first requirement was to be impermeable.
"I want a house that looks as good as my uncle's house, but also have a big yard and fence it off so that my chicks can play at home and not run out all the time." Zhao Yun'er dragged her cheeks, thought seriously for a while, and said.
Lin Yunxuan is really a child.
"Aunt Fang, what kind of house do you want to build?" Lin Yunxuan turned her head to look at He Cuifang.
"I, I didn't think about it." He Cuifang didn't expect Lin Yunxuan to suddenly ask her, and she couldn't remember what kind of house she wanted to build for a while. In her heart, it seems that the house she wants to build is the kind of blue brick and tile house that Dafang lives in now, but it doesn't seem to be, that kind of house seems to be lacking something, and she can't say it.
"It's okay, we still have time, you can think slowly." Lin Yunxuan saw that He Cuifang hadn't thought about it yet, and looked at Zhao Dalin again: "Uncle, what about you?" “
"Me? It's almost the same as the kind of Li Zheng's house, the blue brick and big tile house, the hall house is facing the courtyard gate, and then there are east and west houses on both sides..."Speaking of his dreamhouse, Zhao Dalin's eyes lit up.
"Sister, what do you want to build?" Zhao An saw that everyone said what kind of house they wanted to build, but Lin Yunxuan said that he was very curious.
"I haven't figured it out yet." Lin Yunxuan replied with a smile.
In fact, her idea is also very simple, the house is simple and practical. However, there are many of them, and the new house must be larger than the current thatched house, and it is better to have a few more rooms, and those that are not used can also be used as warehouses in the future, according to their current industrial layout and plans, the warehouse should be used soon. The thatched hut is still preserved and can be used as a workshop.
After lunch the next day, Zhao Dalin and Lin Yunxuan took the pastries that Zhao Dalin bought in the town in the morning to find Lizheng to buy land.
Li Zheng saw Zhao Dalin and Lin Yunxuan coming to the door with pastries, and couldn't guess why the other party came to the door, but on the surface, they received them very warmly.
Zhao Dalin expressed his intention, Li Zheng heard that they were going to buy land, he was very surprised, who in the village didn't know the environment of their home, although I heard that they had made some money by making new food and selling it in the past two months, but they didn't have enough money to buy land, right?! It's not their money...
Lin Yunxuan saw Li Zheng's expression, and immediately understood his thoughts. So after talking about the cooperation with Zuixianlou, Li Zheng's expression slowly returned to normal.
Drunken Immortal Building, the most famous and largest restaurant in the town, he has been doing Lizheng for many years, although Lizheng is not an official, but he is also the head of a village, and he can still get some oil and water more or less, but he has not entered the Drunken Immortal Building a few times over the years. can cooperate with Drunken Immortal Building, no wonder they have the money to buy land. Li Zheng thought in his heart, and also thought about whether to befriend them, after all, it is not a simple matter to be able to cooperate with Zuixianlou.
After weighing the pros and cons, the lieutenant decided to make friends with them, so not only did he not neglect the purchase of land, but also enthusiastically took them to inspect the wasteland in the village and gave pertinent advice.
After walking around, Lin Yunxuan took a fancy to a wasteland far from the village to the north, which was higher and had a wide field of vision, and a small hill behind it, and the soil on the southeast side of the hill was sandy, suitable for growing peanuts. There was a small pond in front of the wasteland, and a little further to the stream, which covered a wide area, about ten acres.
"Lizheng, how to sell this land?" Lin Yunxuan got straight to the point.
"The fields in the village are all divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the price of the fields and the land are not the same. The first-class land is five taels of silver per acre, the second-class land is three taels of silver per acre, and the third-class land is one tael of silver per acre. The land you fancy is a wasteland, which belongs to the lower ground, and costs one tael of silver and one acre. Li Zheng quickly quoted the price.
Zhao Dalin almost exclaimed in surprise when he heard that he wanted one or two pieces of silver and one acre of land. One or two pieces of silver is enough for their family to spend a year ago.
Lin Yunxuan was very satisfied with the land, and the price was appropriate, so she persuaded Zhao Dalin to buy the land. Because Li Zheng intended to make friends with them, he didn't get any oil and water from them, and added taxes and silver, and finally took it off for only twelve taels of silver.
Lin Yunxuan wanted to register this land in the names of Zhao Dalin and He Cuifang, but Zhao Dalin felt that the money was earned by Lin Yunxuan, and their family had already received Lin Yunxuan's favor to live a good life now, so he didn't agree to anything. In the end, Lin Yunxuan had to persuade Zhao Dalin to reluctantly agree on the grounds that her household registration was not in Gangtou Village, and it was difficult to register, so she first temporarily registered it in the name of their husband and wife, and then transferred it back to her name in the future.
The formalities on Lizheng's side were completed on the same day, but Li Zheng had to go to the yamen to file before he could get the title deed, before leaving, Lin Yunxuan secretly stuffed a tael of silver into Lizheng's hand, she knew that she would definitely have to do something to do things in the yamen, and the so-called money can make the ghost grind.
Li Zheng had already planned to advance the fee himself, but seeing that Lin Yunxuan was so sensible, he accepted it politely. Anyway, it just passed through his hands, and the money would not fall into his pocket, and if there was any surplus, it would not be too late for him to return it to them.
Li Zheng told Lin Yunxuan that they could get the title deed in three days, and they could find a suitable mason or construction team in the next few days, and they could start work immediately after getting the title deed.
Because Lin Yunxuan was going to build a big brick house and build according to her design drawings, they needed to hire a professional mason. There is no professional construction team or mason in the village, and the villagers usually build their own adobe bricks and wood or thatch, and call a few villagers who can help to build them.
Lin Yunxuan had no choice but to take the time to go to Zuixian Building to find shopkeeper Li for help, he has a wide range of connections, maybe he knows a better construction team or mason. At the same time, I also inquired with Shopkeeper Li about the price of a better shop in the town.
During this time, the lo-mei business is getting better and better, half of the people in the town have eaten the braised fat sausage and braised pig's trotters sold by Lin Yunxuan, and many regular customers complain that she only sells them in the market, and only sells them in the morning, and she can't buy them if she wants to eat them in the afternoon, so she suggested that she set up a store in the town to sell lo-mei, so she also moved the idea of opening a lo-mei shop.
It's just that the money left after building the house is definitely not enough to open a braised vegetable shop and a hot and sour noodle shop. If you want to open a shop, you have to save up money.
