Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

The next morning, Silang followed his ox cart into the city.

He went to Lindong County today.

Braised pig heads have stable orders, and pig heads are easy to buy, but the spices used in the marinade are not easily available. After Cuicui suppressed her excitement, the first thing she thought of was to stock up on some spices.

But it was not convenient for her to go out alone. After hearing this, Silang patted his chest and took the responsibility of this matter.

It just so happened that he also wanted to go to the nearby county town, mainly to look for sales channels in major restaurants.

Lin went to the new house.

After the autumn harvest, the strong laborers in the village were idle. Lin didn't mind spending money and asked Cuicui's father to hire a few more laborers. Now the house is looking better every day.

The workshop has been built, and a row of houses have been built next to the workshop. They are the cheapest adobe houses. The materials don’t cost much, but the houses are large and spacious.

Lin chose the first room and asked Cuicui's father to build a few stoves first, and asked a carpenter to make a long chopping board in the house next door.

After giving these instructions, he went to take a look at the new house. According to the current progress, they will be able to move into the new house in a month.

After leaving the new house, Lin went to the village head's house again.

Hearing that Lin was going to buy more land, the village head was already numb. His expression did not change. He just raised his eyelids and asked, "How many acres?"

Lin wants to plant a vineyard, and the area cannot be small, at least dozens of acres.

Fortunately, there is wasteland in front of the new house, extending dozens of acres from the existing location. It is next to the river and it is convenient to get water.

A silver note was placed lightly on the headman's table.

The headman stared at it, rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he had read the amount correctly, he jumped up from the stool.

"Mother Jingwen, you..."

The village head rushed out nimbly and closed the gate. He looked down at the banknotes and took a deep breath.

What kind of business is Jingwen Niang doing?

It seems like I only go to the city once a day, and the ox cart can't be fully loaded with goods, but why is there money coming out of the ground like this, and I can't spend it all.

Not only did he build a magnificent new house, but he also spent hundreds of taels of silver in a short time.

He has been a village head for half his life, but he has never touched a banknote!

The village head took out his pipe tremblingly, wanting to take a few puffs to calm himself down. Just as he was about to light it, he remembered that he couldn't afford to pay for the banknotes he had lost.

Lin smiled and said, "Last time I didn't have enough money to buy the land, so I left the land deed with you. This time I can pay it back all at once, and with the remaining money I can buy another fifty acres of land."

"The land in front of your house has never been cultivated. If you want to buy it, it will be treated as wasteland. Fifty mu is fifty taels. The last land deed was worth thirteen taels. The total for the two plots is... sixty-three taels."

The headman sucked his teeth. He had never imagined that he would one day be able to handle such a big business.

Every family in the village has to tighten their belts and save for several years before they can carefully buy two or three acres of land.

Now he can't even make change for this banknote!

Toothache.

"Mother Jingwen, take this banknote quickly and don't let anyone see it when you go out. Go back and pack it up. We will go into the city and go directly to the government office to pay the money and get it stamped."

Jingwen's mother gave him the money, and he wanted to take it to the yamen. He couldn't change the banknotes anyway, so he just let her hand the money over to the yamen directly.

He is old and it is uncomfortable for him to carry around money.

Lin thought for a moment and said, "I have guests at home today and can't leave. How about tomorrow? I can take the ox cart to the city early tomorrow morning."

"Good good."

When the village head was seeing Lin off, he saw her casually putting the banknotes into her sleeve. His heart was in his throat. He watched her all the way into the Cui family's old house before he felt relieved to go home.
