Chapter 87 Buying Land in the County
"It's okay, just buy it and put it aside. Maybe you can use it in the future." Shen Wanning replied with a smile.
"Well, since you want to buy it, I'll sell it all to you. This is all second-class land, two taels of silver per acre. The total of thirteen acres of land nearby is mine. I wonder how many acres Miss Shen wants?"
"Buy them all! Including the house, the total is eighty-six taels of silver, right?"
"Ms. Shen is very straightforward. I'll give you a total of eighty-five taels. After the land deed is signed today, the land and house here will belong to Miss Shen." The landlord was also very straightforward.
After the negotiation, the group went to the county government office to transfer the land and house. Captain Yan knew Shen Wanning, so when she arrived at the county government office, Captain Yan informed County Magistrate He.
After the county magistrates completed the paperwork for them, County Magistrate He came forward with the household registration documents and handed them to Shen Wanning. "I already had your household registration documents ready. I was planning to send someone to deliver them to you, but you're here just in time."
Shen Wanning took the household registration document and bowed. "Thank you, County Magistrate. My milk tea shop in the county town will be opening in a few days. I welcome Lingzheng and Ling'er to visit."
County Magistrate He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll definitely go then. By the way, cassava has been widely promoted now, and you've made a great contribution. The refugees outside the city are now eating a mixture of cassava and old rice, which can help them survive for a while longer."
After saying this, County Magistrate He sighed, "Now we can only hope that it rains soon, otherwise the cassava won't last long."
"I hope so too, otherwise there will be more and more refugees on the road. I don't know what's going on in Fuzhou." Thinking that Lin Jingyou was still in Fuzhou, Shen Wanning missed him a little.
I was busy every day before, so it was okay if I didn’t mention it. But once I mentioned it, I missed you endlessly.
"The prefect has already notified everyone about the cassava issue, and the refugee situation shouldn't get worse for now. Now we just hope we can hold on for a while, preferably until it rains." County Magistrate He looked up at the sky. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and it looked like it wouldn't rain in the near future.
"That's good. The county magistrate cares about the people and has worked hard to promote cassava these days." Shen Wanning made a few polite remarks.
"You, girl, can be called a remarkable woman. But it would be better if you could change your habit of flattering others. I always feel that such words are not suitable for you." County Magistrate He smiled and shook his head, letting Shen Wanning go back.
On the second day, Shen Wanning was selling milk tea on the street with the two Lin brothers when she saw someone walking down the street with five cows. She immediately knew that these must be the five cows she had bought.
Leaving the two Lin brothers to look after the milk tea stall, she followed the cow all the way to Zui Xiang Lou.
"Uncle, uncle." The man who delivered the cow shouted towards Zui Xiang Lou.
When Shopkeeper Yang came out, he saw five cows parked at the entrance of his restaurant. Several other people were standing at the door, leading the cows.
"Oh, the cows are here. Please come in. You must be tired from the journey. Sit down and have a rest!" Shopkeeper Yang made a gesture of invitation and invited everyone in for tea.
"Thank you, uncle, but where should we take these cows? We can't just leave them on the street, right?" the leader asked with a bow.
Shopkeeper Yang was hesitating when he looked up and saw Shen Wanning standing at the door. He walked out a little and asked, "Boss, what should we do with these cows? Should we send them directly to the farm?"
The farm he was referring to was the piece of land he'd bought yesterday. Shen Wanning was already planning to build a farm there. Since it had been dry these days, she was going to use it exclusively for raising cattle. When it rained, she'd plant some fruit trees and raise chickens on the farm. She could even sell fruit tea in the milk tea shop.
Shen Wanning nodded and said, "Please invite the young men in to have some tea and rest for a while. I'll take them with me to deliver the cattle later."
The leader waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's not a good idea to leave the cow outside. Let's send the cow over first and come back later."
Zui Xiang Lou was particularly well-located, with people coming and going at the entrance. Many people looked at the cows as if they were looking at something strange.
"Then I'll trouble you guys." After saying that, Shen Wanning looked at Xiaoshu and said, "Xiaoshu, can you help look after the cows at the farm tonight? I'll hire someone to look after the cows at the farm tomorrow."
Xiao Shu nodded. "Of course. Now that the shop has been renovated, I don't have much to do these days. I'll follow Miss Shen's arrangements."
"Okay, then you can go with us!"
After discussing it, they set out together with the cows to the farm. After settling the cows, they returned to Zui Xiang Lou, leaving Xiao Shu to guard the farm.
They didn't have to worry about their cattle being stolen. Stealing cattle was a serious crime in the Great Xia Dynasty, punishable by death. Furthermore, cattle were too large to be easily hidden, making it even more difficult for anyone to steal them.
The rest of the reception was left to Shopkeeper Yang. When Shen Wanning returned to the street, the Lin brothers had already sold their milk tea and were packing up.
Several people returned to Daqing Village together. On the way, Shen Wanning lifted the curtain and took a look, and saw Mrs. Hu and Lin Daqiang.
Since they parted in the county town, they have never returned to Daqing Village. Unexpectedly, they came back today.
Mrs. Hu kept her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. Lin Daqiang opened and closed his mouth, seemingly scolding Mrs. Hu.
But Shen Wanning didn't have time to worry about all that. Now that the cows were back and the county shop was about to open, she was busy. She would free up her hands to deal with Lin Daqiang after she was done.
After returning home, Shen Wanning thought about it and decided to discuss it with Aunt Zhang. She might not be very smart, but she was a person who listened to advice.
"Mom, the cow is back. I'll send it to the farm and look after the little tree there." Shen Wanning walked to Xu's side and helped water the vegetables.
"Okay, but your shop is in the county, and the cows are also in the county. Are you planning to move to the county?" Aunt Zhang stopped and looked at Shen Wanning.
Shen Wanning shook her head. "Manager Yang will take care of the shop's affairs, and he will handle the minor matters. I still want to live in Daqing Village. I hope to help everyone achieve common prosperity."
"I'm glad you think this way. But it's our own business after all, and we don't feel safe handing it over to others. I think it would be better if the eldest or second son went to the county town to help look after it. We can't plant crops now, and the eldest and second sons can't help at home." Aunt Zhang suggested.
Shen Wanning nodded. "I have an idea, but I don't know if my eldest and second brothers are willing to do business. Besides, my second sister-in-law is about to give birth, so if they want to go, I guess my eldest brother will have to go."
In fact, Shen Wanning preferred Lin Jingcheng. Lin Jingcheng was eloquent and more suitable for business than Lin Jingce. Moreover, she could see over the past few days that Lin Jingce was not very good at business and was not that interested in it.
