Chapter 46 Selling Land
By the time Xie Zi'an returned from reading in the morning, Qi Lele had already changed his clothes, combed his hair, and braided a twisted braid around his head twice according to Zhao's appearance.
"What?"
"Wealth is not exposed!" Qi Lele looked at him twice and said, "The clothes on your body are too new, replace them with old ones!"
Xie Zi settled down and complied with a smile.
Qi Lele was satisfied: "Let's go."
Out of the room, Xie Sixian saw her at a glance: "Sister-in-law! Why didn't you put on a nice bun today?"
Qi Lele didn't perfunctory her: "I have something to do today, so I can't dress up too well."
"Can I go with me?"
Xie Zi'an said, "You obediently finish practicing the words at home, and take you out to play in the afternoon."
Xie Sixian's big flickering eyes twinkled: "Where to play?"
"Fishing, picking wild vegetables, digging bamboo shoots, it's all up to you."
Xie Sixian jumped happily: "Big brother's word is a decision!"
"It's a deal!"
After breakfast, Qi Lele finally met Uncle Wang.
Wang Yuzhong is a sturdy middle-aged man, with a calm face, neat words and deeds, a kind of sassy temperament of a soldier, and he looks very different from Aunt Wang.
Seeing her, Wang Yuzhong just arched his hand and didn't say much, but made Qi Lele relax a little.
Xie Zi'an said, "Let's go now?"
"It's fine."
The Xie family is an outsider, and when they first started their house, they chose a place near the foot of the mountain, which is a little far away from the families who have lived here for generations in the village.
Qi Lele looked all the way, this piece of people's house, the distance between each other is a little far, not as dense and compact as the Qi family, maybe everyone is outside, not familiar with each other, subconsciously unwilling to get too close.
"These days, those who want to sell their fields have two in this village and three in other villages."
"We will go to Qi Baojiang's house now, his three sons, the third failed the show three times, and he still refuses to give up this year, and he will continue to take the exam; The old family disagreed, and they clamored to send their children to study, otherwise they would split up. Qi Baojiang refused to part with his family, so he had to sell his land."
"His family's fields are well located and concentrated, and most of them are fertile fields, many people want to buy them, but the price is very low, and the time is right for us to go now."
Qi Lele listened to this person with the most thoughtful face and the most upright voice telling the gossip of other people's families, and inexplicably felt happy.
However, this spirit of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is worthy of admiration!
Xie Zi'an said, "Uncle Wang has worked hard."
"It's fine."
Qi Lele thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Wang, what price do they want to sell?" How many acres are you expected to sell?"
"It is estimated that it will be 30 taels per mu, and now those who want to buy it are only willing to pay up to 18 taels."
Xie Zi'an said: "The price is all over the sky, and I will pay it back on the ground."
Wang Yuzhong said: "Qi Baojiang's grandfather went to the battlefield for a few years and saved some family funds, which was based on the fertile land in his hands. Now that every family is preparing for spring sowing, his family has not made much movement, and I guess if the price is right, ten acres should be willing to sell."
Qi Lele bowed: "So we're going to buy 10 acres, right? At what price are you going to buy it?"
Xie Zi'an smiled, "It's all up to Madame."
When Wang Yuzhong heard this, he glanced at Qi Lele.
"The price of 30 taels is too high, 18 acres is too low, the normal transaction price should be 25 taels, I wonder if I can win the price of about 21 or 22 taels."
Qi Lele said: "If it is good land, it must be cost-effective to buy more, buy it now, we will make our own decisions on what to plant, and the time is just right."
"Okay."
Wang Yuzhong was a little surprised and asked, "After we buy it, will we grow it ourselves?"
Qi Lele said, "Uncle Wang thinks it's more appropriate to rent it out?"
"Not really, it's just that no one is good at it."
Xie Zi'an smiled, "Give it to Madame."
Qi Lele couldn't help but glare at him, this person is really good at climbing!
Wang Yuzhong saw it in his eyes, his face was not obvious, and said, "The front is their house."
In fact, Qi Baojiang's family Qi Lele also has memories of it, Xu is relying on the shadow of his grandfather back then, Qi Baojiang was a domineering person in Shangxi Village when he was young, even if he became a family later, his temperament was not too much. In addition, the third child of his family was praised by Wang Xiucai at the beginning, and he looked up at people in the village over the years.
If it weren't for the failure of the examination for many years, Qi Baojiang's family would not know what to be proud of.
When the three of them arrived, Qi Baojiang's house was making a commotion.
The cry of the child, the scolding of the woman, mixed with a shrill cry, is really a big play.
It's just a matter of listening to the ears sideways, and it went from the fact that the child ate an extra bite to studying, and naturally it came to the problem of money, and the climax was to quarrel and split up, and was finally suppressed by Qi Baojiang.
"I'm not dead yet, this family can't be divided! You all give Lao Tzu some points! Otherwise, they will all dig the ground for Lao Tzu!"
Hearing this, Wang Yuzhong stepped forward decisively, knocked on the courtyard door, and asked in a loud voice, "Is Brother Baojiang at home?"
The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the child who was crying seemed to be covered and carried into the room, and after a while, the courtyard door was opened.
"It's Brother Wang! You're bringing your nephew?" Qi Baojiang said, seeing Xie Zi'an and Qi Lele behind Wang Yuzhong, his face froze: "Your nephew is the son of the Xie family? You're not a surname!"
Wang Yuzhong smiled, "Didn't I mention it? Look at my memory! It's too speculative to talk to Brother Baojiang, forget about this stubble!"
The corners of Qi Lele's mouth twitched, was the person in front of him really Wang Yuzhong, who had just walked all the way with them? Sichuan opera doesn't change its face so suddenly!
The expression on Qi Baojiang's face was really much better: "Hey, I don't know that Brother Wang came so early, this house is a mess, and I haven't prepared anything, why don't we go and see the ground first?"
"Good, good! It's still Baojiang's big brother's refreshment! Don't beat around the bush!"
Qi Baojiang casually closed the courtyard door and led them to the field, meeting many people along the way, but Qi Baojiang didn't seem to see it, even if he was greeted by someone, at most he was hummed, but he called Wang Yuzhong a brother, so he was not enthusiastic.
Qi Lele's impression of Wang Yuzhong was a little deeper.
Xie Zi'an and Qi Lele walked behind, bowing their heads and biting their ears: "My father and mother are not good at diplomacy, and it is Uncle Wang who deals with others."
"I can see it, Uncle Wang is really powerful."
Seeing that her praise was from the bottom of her heart, Xie Zi'an smiled even more in his eyes: "I look at his family's posture, ten acres of land should not be difficult, Mrs. just buy it!"
Qi Lele glanced at him: "Are you afraid that you have forgotten that the silver in your hand is only enough to spend a year?"
Xie Zi'an said, "Isn't there a lady here?"
"How much do you think an acre of land can produce in a year? You can't get it back with the money you pay for the land!"
Xie Zi'an smiled: "Don't worry, it's really not possible, I just copy books to make money, and I won't let my wife be wronged."
Qi Lele pursed the corners of his lips, and after a moment, he said, "Well, take your time."
The two didn't know that the picture of them whispering side by side was seen by many people, and then spread quickly, but after half a day's effort, it reached Chen's ears.
"Here it is." Qi Baojiang stood still and pointed to a large field in front of him.
It was about to be sold at the beginning, Qi Baojiang didn't put effort into it, and the ground was overgrown with weeds, but judging from the color of the exposed ground, it was indeed a good field.
Wang Yuzhong obviously understood something, walked around the field, and said with a smile: "What price does Brother Baojiang want?"
Qi Baojiang said: "Originally, it was going to be sold for 30 acres, but Brother Wang opened his mouth, so let's do it, 27 acres!" I'll sell as much as Brother Wang wants!"
Wang Yuzhong looked at Xie Zi'an: "What do you think?"
Qi Lele said: "The price of fertile land in Shangxi Village over the years is 25 per mu, Uncle Qi's price, yes
It's expensive, isn't it?"
Qi Baojiang glared at her, and was about to speak, as if thinking of something, and said, "I'm a first-class good field! Unlike other people's families, you also grew up in the village, who else in Shangxi Village has better land than mine?"
"Uncle Qi's field is indeed the best! That's something that the big guys know!" Qi Lele paused before saying, "It's just that our silver is not enough, can it be cheaper?"
Qi Baojiang turned his head and asked Wang Yuzhong, "Didn't you buy this land yourself?"
Wang Yuzhong said in a low voice: "I bought it, but you also know my situation, the silver is not in my hands, so I still have to listen to their opinions."
Qi Baojiang said angrily at Qi Lele, "How much do you want to buy?"
Qi Lele smiled: "20 acres."
Qi Baojiang twitched: "Brother Wang, a little girl can be the master of the two of you, what else is there to talk about?" Let's go home and drink, ah, don't talk about business!"
That's a bit poignant.
Qi Lele also opened his mouth to persuade: "Uncle, we have silver in our hands, we buy anyone's land, Uncle Qi's land is good, but our silver is really not enough, why don't we look at other houses?"
Wang Yuzhong was in a dilemma: "But I really want to buy Brother Baojiang's land, don't you know, Brother Baojiang is difficult!"
"But uncle, it's hard for us."
Qi Baojiang said, "Why is it difficult for you? Wasn't it lively to get married a few days ago? It's like you don't want money!"
"It's just that it costs too much to get married, and now the money to buy land is not enough."
Qi Baojiang: "......"
Wang Yuzhong said, "Brother Baojiang, take a look, can you have less? I'll look back and try to make it up again."
"If you don't have enough money, you can buy less."
"Ten acres is already very little, and no matter how few brothers go back, it won't be enough to divide it."
Qi Baojiang's eyes flashed: "You want to buy ten acres?"
Qi Lele nodded: "Daddy asked us to use this silver to buy ten acres back."
"How much silver?"
"It's 210 ......, no, 200 taels."
Qi Baojiang: "......" feelings, you still want to swallow ten taels!
Wang Yuzhong said: "Forget it, 20 taels and one mu is too little, Brother Baojiang, let's drink, I haven't mentioned this matter, I'll look for another family."
Qi Baojiang was a little hesitant, although he opened his mouth for 30 taels and one mu, but he knew in his heart that this land could only be sold for 25 taels at most, and it might not be able to be sold, so he thought that if there were 22 or 23 taels, it would almost be sold.
Who would have thought that these days the door to the door, the opening is 15 taels, thanks to them to open this mouth! A bunch of shameless things!
This Qi Baojiang was still pondering in his heart, Wang Yuzhong over there had already taken him by the shoulders and brought the person back, and he was still making a lot of money in his mouth: "Brother Baojiang, your family has such a good land, it can't be sold cheaply, really!" He's worth the price!"
Qi Baojiang's heart is warm, to be honest, no one has considered him so much for a long time, none of the three sons is worry-free, his daughter-in-law complains about his partiality every day, even his mother-in-law thinks he is unreasonable, but who is he for? It's not for this home yet!
"I'll sell this land!"
