The head of the village was stunned, then he reacted and quickly invited him to come in and sit down.

"It's mainly because I'm too busy during the day and don't have time to handle it. I'm really sorry to bother you at this time."

Lin Jiaojiao was embarrassed to say this, mainly because she wanted to finalize it as soon as possible and plan it well.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was worried that no one would buy so much land. You've helped me a lot."

Linjia Village is now considered a large village in the vicinity, with more than a hundred households. Due to the influx of refugees more than ten years ago, a lot of land was allocated, but only a few people bought it.

"One hundred acres?"

It's so big right away? ?

"Yes, they have to be connected."

"If you connect them together, there are only 20 acres of good farmland to the east of your house, and the rest is wasteland. If there is wasteland, there must be at least 80 acres."

"Okay, okay."

"Good farmland is two taels of silver per mu, and wasteland is half a tael of silver. As for wasteland, I will measure it for you tomorrow so that I can write the deed."

Lin Jiaojiao felt a little disappointed, as she had thought it could be done tonight.

"Okay, I won't be here during the day tomorrow, so my dad and the others will go and watch over it. I'll trouble the village head first."

"No trouble, no trouble. Excuse me, what are you going to do with all this land?"

Everyone would know about it later anyway, so she didn't hide it: "I'm planning to raise some livestock and do some business."

The head of the village praised her with an impressed look on his face, saying that she had made such a great career at such a young age.

After returning home, she first went back to her room and took out some silver from her backpack and gave it to Lin's father to use for daily expenses and acquisition funds.

Originally, she wanted to go to the bakery to help Lin Yizhi, but was kicked out. Because the mung bean cakes were left for the grandfather and grandson to make, Zhou Xiaofeng came to help Lin Yizhi. There were enough people, so she went to rest early.

...

Lin Jiaojiao was awakened by the cold.

She saw that it was still gray outside, so she finally got up early this morning. She got up, dressed, opened the door and stepped out, only to find that it was drizzling outside.

She covered her head with her hands and trotted to the kitchen. The door was open and she walked straight in. There was no one there. Judging from the noises, they should be in the bakery next door.

She washed up first, drank a cup of hot water, and looked at the wooden barrel next to the water tank. She was hesitating whether to fetch water or not. After all, servants could also add points, although only half, but a little bit adds up to a lot.

Forget it, let’s go get the vaccine. We are an old man and a child, and it’s raining outside. Don’t let us catch a cold after the vaccination.

He picked up the straw raincoat and put it on his shoulders, put on a bamboo hat, picked up the bucket and walked out.

After fetching water, Lin Yizhi came over to help her take off her raincoat and hang it up, and then straightened her collar.

"My dear wife, the things have been loaded onto the carriage and put away."

"Yizhi, you've worked hard. I'll be back early today."

"Okay, then I'll stew the old rooster first and stir-fry some fresh rabbit."

"Hehe, I know you're really nice."

Seeing that there was no one around, she bent down and kissed the corner of his mouth. Seeing that he blushed, she took the opportunity to pinch his cheek.

It feels really good.

"Then I'll go first."

"Um…"

It started to rain heavily before the carriage reached the town. Lin Jiaojiao asked Lin Dadan to drive slowly, putting safety first.

Liu Wen was standing under the eaves to avoid the rain. When she saw the carriage approaching, she quickly opened her oil-paper umbrella to greet it.

But Lin Jiaojiao did not come down. She handed the key to Liu Wen and asked her to open the door first. Then she handed out the food boxes needed by the store one by one, and Lin Dadan and Liu Wen moved them into the store one after another.

"I have to go deliver the goods first, you stay in the store."

"Good owner."

Lin Dadan got back on the carriage and drove towards Furong Pavilion. When he arrived at the door, the waiter greeted him with an oil-paper umbrella. Lin Jiaojiao got off the carriage with the food box, and Lin Dadan handed the remaining food boxes to the waiter.

"Boss Lin, you've worked so hard. You came in person to deliver the car in such a heavy rain."

Lin Jiaojiao nodded to Shopkeeper Fu who was coming towards her, and then whispered, "Shopkeeper Fu, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Shopkeeper Fu looked into her eyes, followed her gaze to the food box in her hand, and instantly understood.

"Boss Lin, your shoulders and clothes are a little wet. I'll take you to the side room to wipe them off."

"Then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Fu."

"It's nothing to bother with. It's just a piece of cake."

Manager Fu led her to the inner room and asked the waiter to make a cup of ginger tea.

After entering the house and closing the door, Shopkeeper Fu couldn't wait to ask Lin Jiaojiao: "Is there any news about the goods?"

Lin Jiaojiao nodded, put the food box on the table and opened the lid. Shopkeeper Fu's eyes lit up immediately and he was full of surprise.

"There are a hundred boxes here. Shopkeeper Fu, please count them."

"Good good."

The inventory took about a quarter of an hour. During the process, Lin Jiaojiao drank a cup of ginger tea, and even the water stains on her clothes were not so obvious.

"Boss Lin, here are three hundred taels of silver. Keep them."

Lin Jiaojiao took the banknote and put it away, picked up the empty lunch box and followed Manager Fu out. On the other side, the pastries were also counted, and the waiter followed them with the lunch boxes.

She took out the notebook and asked Manager Fu to sign it, then got on the carriage to the next delivery point.

Shopkeeper Fu was very excited. He hummed a little tune while settling the bills. He looked up at the heavy rain outside the door. It seemed that the young master would not come today.

I really want to tell her that the goods have arrived, it’s too painful to keep it in my heart.

Just when she thought that no one would come, a carriage stopped at the door. Recognizing it as the Fu family's carriage, she hurried forward to greet it. When she was about to call for help, she found that the person who came out was Tongfu, the servant of Young Master Fu Qi.

"Master, why are you here in such a rainy day? Come in quickly." Then he ordered the waiter next to him: "Go and make a cup of ginger tea for the master."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Fu Qi went up to the room on the second floor. Tongfu wiped him with a handkerchief, then looked out the window at the heavy rain and felt worried.

"Master, everything was fine yesterday, but now it rains and I don't know when it will stop."

Fu Qi also glanced out the window and felt a little worried. With such heavy rain, she must have gotten wet.

The waiter knocked on the door, indicating that the ginger tea had been delivered. Tongfu put down his handkerchief and prepared to open the door and bring it in.

"Tongfu, ask them to prepare more ginger soup."

"Okay, Master."

As soon as Tongfu took the plate, he saw the waiter serving dim sum. He asked the waiter to put the plate on it and he would carry it in together.

He placed the wooden tray containing ginger tea and snacks on the edge of the round table, and took them out one by one and arranged them.

"Master, today's snacks include green bean cakes and honey crispy bread."

Fu Qi looked at the heavy rain outside the window, sighed, and muttered to himself.

"I'm still a step late."
