I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 66 Buying Good Farmland
After discussion among the whole family, they finally decided to buy the two acres of fertile land from Kong Xiucai's family. Xu Congyi could also understand that land is the foundation of a farmer's life, and he would feel more at ease with fertile land. Old man Xu planned to go to the village chief to buy fertile land in the afternoon, because his precious granddaughter gave him a task, which was to draw a rough map of the unowned land to facilitate later planning.
Xu Congyi had always wanted to buy good farmland for her family, so she decided to go to the village chief's house and pay for the land. When she told her family about this idea, they all rejected her. But Xu Congyi didn't give up, so she found an excuse to send her grandfather away and quietly came to the village chief's house. She knocked on the door, feeling a little nervous. The village chief opened the door and was surprised to see Xu Congyi.
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. It turns out that the village chief was preparing to go to the government with the signed contract.
"Uncle the village chief!"
"Hey," the village chief found that it was Xu Congyi who came, "It's Yiyi, what do you want to talk to uncle about?"
Xu Congyi smiled and said, "I heard from my grandfather that there are two acres of good farmland for sale, so I came here with money to buy it."
"You came to buy it by yourself, and your grandfather didn't come? Can you make the decision to buy the land by yourself?" the village chief asked doubtfully.
"Of course, I came here with money. How can my family give me money if they don't know?" Xu Congyi said with a smile on his face, "Don't you think so, village chief?"
After thinking about it, it made sense. The village chief didn't know that Xu Congyi was doing business, and buying land was not cheap. He never thought that the money to buy the land was earned by Xu Congyi himself. He thought that he might have something to do at home, so he sent his children to buy it.
"Then come in quickly, so we can deliver the contract to the government together."
The village chief drafted the contract. Xu Congyi was very confident about the contract and directly pressed his fingerprint on the contract. He had said before that the price would be based on the price of second-rate farmland, that is, 15 taels of silver per mu of good farmland and 12 taels of silver per mu of second-rate farmland. Xu Congyi handed the money to the village chief, asked about the location of the good farmland, took the farm deed and went home.
When they got home, Old Man Xu had already returned. He used the paper and pen that Xu Congyi usually used to practice calligraphy to draw a rough picture, and also marked the location of the mountain, the location of his house, and the location of the beet field. Seeing his precious granddaughter coming home, Old Man Xu hid the drawing behind him, and came over excitedly to say that he wanted to give Xu Congyi something good. Xu's mother and Li Dahua, who were sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing. What a child.
"Grandpa, I'm going to give you something good too!" Xu Congyi handed over the land deed in his hand with a smile.
After seeing clearly what his precious granddaughter handed over, Old Man Xu was both happy and angry, "You kid, didn't I tell you not to buy it? Why did you buy it anyway!" After saying that, he turned around and asked Xu's mother to take out the money to reimburse his granddaughter.
"Oh, Grandpa," Xu Congyi rubbed Old Man Xu's arm like a kitten and said coquettishly, "I made a lot of money doing business with Mr. Tang, you don't have to give it to me. Besides, if it weren't for me, my family's land wouldn't have been sold, so just consider it a gift from me to my whole family."
Hunter Xu had just walked in and heard the whole story. He and his wife persuaded their father, "Dad, Yi Yi has already bought it. You should keep the deed well. It is a token of Yi Yi's love."
"That's right, Dad," Li Dahua took over the conversation, "This is the child's gift, you can't give her money!"
Old man Xu sighed and did not mention the matter of giving Xu Congyi money. He took the deed and stroked it again and again with his rough hands. He knew very well that this was the love of his precious granddaughter, but this was not a small amount of money after all, it was also earned by his granddaughter's hard work.
"Okay, then Grandpa will accept it. I will accept it. Grandpa thanks us one by one. Thank you one by one..."
"Hehe", seeing Old Man Xu accept it, Xu Congyi felt even happier.
……
Today is a day off, so there is no need to make popcorn. The father and daughter went out separately, and Hunter Xu went out to contact materials for building a rabbit house. It has been preliminarily decided that the rabbit house will be built like the house at home, a half-wrapped brick house. Although this kind of rabbit does not dig holes, since it has been decided to do rabbit business in the future, it must be better. The brick house is not easy to get wet, and then it can be painted with limestone to disinfect and prevent insects. As for the ground, it is paved with gravel, so that even if it rains, there is no need to worry about the rabbit house being all muddy.
Xu Congyi had already thought about the ingredients she needed to prepare for the next few days. After saying hello to her grandparents, she went out to buy them. Before leaving, Old Man Xu wanted to go with her, but because Xu Congyi wanted to buy directly from the space, she didn't let her grandfather go with her. Her granddaughter had gone out many times by herself, so Old Man Xu didn't worry about anything. He just asked her to bring the money with her, and he had to pay for the ingredients. Xu Congyi couldn't persuade her grandfather, so he had to give up.
The main reason was that Xu Congyi didn't really go to the market to buy food. She had already calculated what she needed to buy, and she just bought it from the space after she went out. Just as she was thinking, Xu Congyi suddenly heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw that it was Aunt Wang from the village. Aunt Wang was famous for her warm heart in the village. Xu Congyi politely greeted Aunt Wang, and the two chatted for a while, and Aunt Wang left.
Xu Congyi drove the ox cart there by herself. If Brother Da Niu was there, he would definitely be exposed. She drove the ox cart to a sparsely populated grove and let the oxen graze nearby. She sat on the ox cart and took out things one by one from the space. First, there were fifteen large porcelain bowls and plates, and five large porcelain basins for stews and soups. The rest were white flour, black flour, cornmeal, eggplant, eggs, pork, offal, mushrooms, potatoes, etc. She didn't stop until the ox cart was full.
After waiting outside until the time was almost up, Xu Congyi went back, while the two brothers Xu the Hunter came back after school and brought back several carts full of bricks and tiles, which they unloaded directly to the place where they were going to build the rabbit house. Because the rabbit house was quite large, after dinner, Old Man Xu and Mother Xu specially called some strong men who were on good terms with their family and were unemployed at home to help. After the busy farming season was over, there was not much work to do at the dock, so they could only help with the rough labor at home. Now that they heard that the Xu family needed help to build a house, they readily agreed. Taking advantage of the good weather and not being too cold, they would start work tomorrow.
The next day, the Xu family got up just after the rooster crowed for the first time. They agreed to start work today. Yesterday, they specifically told the men not to eat breakfast at home, but to eat directly here. Before going to bed last night, they fermented a large jar of flour to steam buns. They mixed less black flour and corn flour into the flour. They were all simple farm men. If they had served the big white steamed bun directly, they would definitely feel embarrassed to take the second one, so they simply mixed less. The black flour and corn flour at home were all bought by Xu Congyi from the space. They were ground very finely. The steamed buns mixed with white flour did not make the throat hoarse at all, and had the aroma of coarse grains.
The steamed buns were tasteless, so Xu Congyi used the stove outside to cook a big pot of mushroom sauce. Xu Congyi deliberately didn't make it spicy, because it was difficult for everyone to accept chili peppers, and not everyone could eat chili peppers. The mushrooms were the shiitake mushrooms that Xu Congyi bought from the space and chopped up and put in. After the soup was cooked, Xu Congyi broke a steamed bun while it was still hot and put it in. It was so delicious.
The steamed buns and sauce were ready and were placed in the pot to keep warm. Li Dahua then boiled water and made a large pot of egg drop soup, which was both dry and liquid, to make it more palatable. Everything was ready, just waiting for the men to arrive.
