Female-to-male: I live on farming

Qin Ke said goodbye to the village chief's house, changed direction and headed towards the west end of the village.

The original body had no previous contact with their family, so Qin Ke was not very clear about the exact location of her home and could only ask while looking for it.

Looking at the broken and shaky wooden door in front of him, Qin Ke was silent for a moment, then called out, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

Through the broken hole in the wooden board, Qin Ke saw a figure swaying inside. After a while, a woman with clothes full of patches came out. Qin Ke estimated that the other person was almost as tall as him, almost half a head taller than Lu Youqing.

Although he has not been measured, Qin Ke estimated that he is about 1.8 meters tall, so Li Danniu is about 1.75 meters tall, taller than many men. This height is not common in later generations.

Qin Ke saw that she had delicate features and a well-proportioned body, and could not be described as rough at all. It was probably because her height made many men feel very embarrassed, so she deliberately spread this rumor.

"You...is there something wrong?" Li Danniu's face showed a hint of surprise, and her eyes were full of confusion.

After all, she and Qin Ke had never had any contact before, and they had never even spoken to each other. She really couldn't imagine what could have happened when he came to her house.

"Can we go in and talk?" Qin Ke noticed that some villagers passing by were looking at them curiously.

"Okay, come in." Li Danniu was stunned for a moment, then nodded. However, after Qin Ke went in, she did not close the door, leaving it wide open.

As Qin Ke stepped into the house, a strong smell of Chinese medicine hit him in the face. This smell was different from the fresh and pleasant medicinal fragrance he smelled in the clinic. It had a bit of a rotten smell in it.

Apart from that, her family was indeed living in great difficulty just as the village chief had said, and was not much better off than the home he had just traveled to.

"It's like this. I have a few acres of land at the foot of the mountain. I just asked the village chief, and the few acres of land next to it belong to your family. I want to ask, are you willing to sell it to me?" Qin Ke was not very familiar with her, so she just got straight to the point.

"Ah!" Li Danniu looked at him strangely, hesitated for a while, and reminded him: "The quality of the fields there is not good. My father planted them before he died. The annual yield is not even half of that of other places. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

When her father was alive, he was criticized for not having a son to carry on the family line. After he passed away, the people in the clan had thought about making their family extinct, but in the end, they left the land to them because the few acres of land were too barren.

Qin Ke smiled. Most people would want to get rid of that kind of place immediately if they heard someone wanted to buy something, but she still reminded him in advance, which showed that she had a kind heart.

"Sure, I'll buy all the acres of land you have there."

Li Danniu was a little hesitant, not knowing what to do. At this moment, she heard a cough and a faint call from the inner room.

Hearing her mother's call, Li Danniu hurried in. Qin Ke stood there waiting silently. If he guessed correctly, the person inside must have heard what he said and called him in.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Li Danniu came out and said, "My mother said she can sell it to you."

"Okay," Qin Ke nodded, but after looking around, he said, "How about this, when you have time, come to my house, and I'll ask my wife to write an agreement, and I'll give you one tael of silver for one acre of land."

You have to know that the price of good farmland is only one tael of silver per mu, and the price Qin Ke gave them was beyond their expectations.

“This is too…” Li Danniu felt that they had taken great advantage and was about to refuse.

Qin Ke waved his hand and stopped him, saying, "Don't be embarrassed. I want to buy it because I have a way to improve the quality of the fields."

"...Okay." Li Danniu had no way to refuse. Even eating became a problem for her family, and they relied on her to work in the town to make a living. However, the people in the town were unwilling to employ her because she was a woman.

After the agreement was reached, Qin Ke felt that he had accomplished two important things in one day, and clapped his hands happily. However, when he reached the door, he turned his head and said to Li Da Niu who had sent him off, "Well, after buying the land, I will prepare for spring ploughing. I can't handle it alone. If you are willing, you can come to my house to work, and I will pay you by the day."

After saying this, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he waved his hand and left.

"We have met a noble person." After listening to Li Danniu's words conveyed by Qin Ke, Li's mother, who was half lying on the bed, smiled a little on her pale face.

"Remember to be diligent when you work at other people's homes."

"Don't worry, mother, I will." Li Danniu sat on the bench and lowered her head to rub her legs. "I used to hear people in the village say that Qin Ke was a gambler. After seeing him today, it seems that he is different from what others said."

"The rumors in the village are not always true. You have to see for yourself what kind of person the other person is."

"I understand, mother."

Qin Ke, who was strolling home, had no idea what the mother and daughter thought of him. He was leisurely enjoying the scenery of the village, with green mountains, clear waters, lush grass, and groups of children playing together.

However, the roads in the village are much more rugged. In fact, not only the roads in the village, but even the roads in the town are made of dirt, and they become very muddy once it rains.

I don’t know what the formula of asphalt is. Is it possible to build asphalt roads in this era?

Qin Ke was thinking about all sorts of things and unknowingly reached home. When he pushed the door open, Lu Youqing was sitting at the table copying a book.

It seems that when building the new house, a room will be reserved for use as a study, Qin Ke thought silently as he looked at her uncomfortable posture.

"Have you discussed it?" Lu Youqing put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Qin Ke's smiling eyes.

This person's emotions are all on the surface, and he's surprisingly easy to guess.

"Well, I asked the village chief, and he said that we can build a house on the land next door. After the spring plowing is over, when everyone in the village has free time, we can start building it." Qin Ke sat opposite her and told her everything he had accomplished today.

"The last time I went there, the fields next door were estimated to be about ten acres. You planted rice there? And are you sure that this piece of land that no one wants can produce anything?" Lu Youqing raised his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, I promise I can improve the soil in that field."

Lu Youqing looked at him inquiringly again. She had guessed that he had a secret, but this man didn't seem to be deliberately hiding it from her.

"By the way, I have also agreed with her that we can hire her to help when the time comes. We will plant watermelons on the five acres of land and plant rice on the remaining acres."

Lu Youqing nodded: "If her family is in difficult circumstances, I will help them if I can. I have no objection."
