Chapter 57: Disillusionment
Being able to build a house and buy land on the shore, save some furniture for their children, and be able to eat and clothe themselves is already the greatest luxury for many people.
They dare to have other ideas there.
The land in Jiangjiaba is not cheap, and an acre of good paddy field can be sold for 12 taels of silver. What's more, because there are no hills near the water in Jiangjiaba, the fields are flat, and the water source is convenient, so there is almost no wasteland. Even the beach closest to the lake, which is easy to be flooded when it rains, has to be mined by itself.
Beach land is cheap and there are very few people who can buy it.
The reason why the beach is cheap is that it can easily be flooded when it rains a lot in the summer.
The land on both sides of the Huaishui River is flat, the water source is abundant, and the fertile land is mainly planted with rice. The seedlings are planted around the Dragon Boat Festival and harvested around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During this period, it happened to be a rainy summer. It is not possible to have no water in the rice field, and if there is too much water, it is not possible to submerge the seedlings.
After planting rice, maybe when you see the harvest, a rainstorm will wash away all the hard work.
No farmer who lives by farming can afford this loss.
Jiangjiaba's homestead is not expensive, one acre of land is only five taels of silver, if you want a front and back yard, the more spacious kind, at most spend a dozen taels of silver to buy a large piece of land.
plus building a house to make furniture, it will not exceed thirty taels together.
In the countryside, it may be even less.
Thirty taels, you can change a place to live. It looks simple, but it depends on land to fish, and it is difficult for a family to have food and clothing, let alone buy land and build a house.
Of course, it is better to buy the kind of house where people can live in the front store and backyard, Jiangjiaba is a small place, and the people who live here are all natives, and few people sell houses, let alone houses with shops.
That kind of thing you can't grab if you want to.
The price of shops in small places is not high, but it is no longer the reason for the price to want to buy it.
However, Lu Quan and his wife do not have such lofty ideals, they want to have a few acres of land and a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, and they are already satisfied.
Lu Quan saw that Lu Yangge was a little unhappy, thinking that she wanted to use the money, so he hurriedly took out a dime of broken silver from his pocket: "This is for you, you can spend it as much as you want." ”
This child used to be raised in the mountains of gold and silver, and he suffered so much because he couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes with them.
finally had some spare money in his hand, and Lu Quan didn't want this kid to wronged himself.
Lu Yangge twisted away and refused: "Dad, I don't want it." ”
"Take it."
Lu Quan forcefully put the silver horn into Lu Yangge's pocket, thought about it, and put two more copper plates into it. The child is still young, and the copper plate is practical.
"Don't tell your second sister."
Lu Quan smiled and touched Lu Yangge's head, "Your second sister is not bad, but she is a little smaller." ”
"Dad, how can you say that about the second sister."
Lu Yangge looked at Lu Quan unhappily with the baked cakes, "The second sister is very good, the second sister is the best." ”
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Lu Quan smiled: "Your second sister is very good." ”
How can it be bad?
Since childhood, the second girl was raised as a boy.
She has known to protect her sisters and sisters since she was a child, and she has developed her current temperament!
The embankment of Honghu Lake is very wide, and the banks are full of greenery
The wind blew from the opposite side of the lake, rolling white waves, wave after wave.
The splashed water vapor is like rain, fine and soft.
The sun was rising, and the scorching sun was falling on the empty lake like broken gold.
Lu Quan took Lu Yangge's hand, looked at the golden light shining on the vast lake, and a vigorous hope suddenly rose in his heart.
If life can go on like this, maybe it will really get better and better.
Once, he had a dream, too.
For example, get a small merchant's stall, earn more money, and work hard to open up a few more wastelands......
It's not like now, in order to survive, in order to be able to eat, they have done their best.
"Daddy."
Lu Yangge shook Lu Quan's hand, breaking his illusion: "If those uncles and uncles come to ask how to make an eel cage, you can teach them too." ”
"What?"
Lu Quan was so frightened and disillusioned that he almost threw the child in his arms.
Why is every word of this bear kid so scary?
He just had some good expectations, and she was able to pull him into the naked reality with a word.
"Little four, it's not that Dad doesn't want to teach. You know, the disciples of the church, starve the master. ”
After teaching others, what will our family do to earn money in the future?
Although, he didn't know how to weave eel cages to catch long fish before, and his family came over like this.
But now it's different, this eel cage is only his family's Xiaosihui, as long as he doesn't teach others, he can earn more money.
"Dad, we use eel cages to catch long fish, and everyone has seen it. Now they won't, but sooner or later they will have to learn. Instead of letting them learn secretly, we should teach in the open. ”
"But......" Lu Quan was still unwilling.
Lu Yangge's mouth kept talking, and he continued: "Our water area is in good condition, Honghu Lake is connected to the Huai River, there are many river beaches, and there are many rice fields. Everyone has learned that as long as you don't put an eel cage in one place, you will have a harvest, just like we fish. Everyone has boats and fishing nets, isn't there no one next to them? ”
Although Lu Quan is not smart, he feels that Xiao Si's words are wrong.
"But if there are fewer fishing boats and fewer fishers, won't our family be able to catch more fish and make more money?" The more Lu Quanyue said, the more he felt that he was right, "Look at this long fish, today I went to the restaurant for two buckets of long fish and sold them for more than two taels of silver." If everyone catches it, there are more long fish, and the price is cheaper, not to mention, we will definitely not be able to catch so much. ”
"Dad, there are a lot of long fish, don't you have many branches in Fushun? You can let the shopkeeper Li send it to other branches, as long as the long fish banquet in Fushun is famous, are you still afraid that the owner of Fushun will not want eels? ”
Lu Quan's head immediately buzzed, I don't know if Lai Fushun is willing to buy their recipes, he has already calculated to this point?
Lu Yangge deducted a small piece from the baked cake he was holding in his arms and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly: "Besides, our family doesn't make money by catching long fish. ”
Lu Quan was stunned: "What does that depend on?" ”
Lu Yangge laughed: "You can also make money by selling eel cages." ”
Lu Quan was silent: "But, didn't you say that you want to teach the uncles and uncles around you, they will, who will buy our eel cage?" ”
"Dad, you have to take a long-term view."
Lu Yangge patted Lu Quan's shoulder like a little adult: "Our family can only sell a few eel cages, but if the surrounding uncles and uncles can sell them, we can sell the eel cages to the entire Jiangjiaba, and we can sell them to Nanyang County and Dongyang County." If the entire Jiangjiaba people can do it, then we can sell the eel cage to Huaicheng, Yangzhou, and Beijing. ”
Lu Quan's mouth opened wider and wider, and finally even his eyes widened.
Oh my God!
This...... This kid is too ...... It's whimsical.
