Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 63 Trading
Qu Wenping took the cup, but he was not as confused as Shopkeeper Zhao. He calmly approached the rim of the cup and took a sip.

After savoring it carefully, tilt the glass and let the wine and foam slide down your throat.

The room was so quiet for a moment that only the sound of breathing was left.

After a long time, Qu Wenping's chuckle broke the silence: "It's quite interesting."

He looked directly into Jiang Mingshun's eyes, shook the cup, and said, "My Zhuangzi only costs one or two hundred taels."

"Your wine is different. Even if it is only sold in our county, it will definitely be more than that."

"What's more, winemaking is not a one-time deal. If it is managed well, it will be beneficial to future generations."

Jiang Mingshun looked at him for a moment, but couldn't help but look away: "Although I am a farmer, I also know the principle of "a child can walk in the bustling city with gold in hand"."

"This is a method I got by chance. It's a blessing to be able to get a Zhuangzi in exchange for it."

Qu Wenping showed admiration when he heard this. Just now he deliberately raised the value of the wine, but Jiang Mingshun still only wanted a Zhuangzi and had no intention of raising the price.

Ming Mian is not a greedy person.

In this case, he is also willing to respect the other party and make a good deal with him: "Since you have thought clearly, I naturally have no objections."

"But from now on, only my Qu family can brew this wine. Are you willing?"

"Of course." Jiang Mingshun nodded firmly. He had no intention of selling wine.

Brewing is a huge undertaking. Storage, transportation, sales, etc. are all very troublesome. He doesn't have the ability, and he really doesn't want to get involved without overestimating his capabilities.

Since both parties had no objections, Qu Wenping did not delay and drew up a document by hand.

He signed his name at the end, handed it to Zheng Zhongren after drying, and asked him to read it again.

Jiang Jinyu silently looked away, guessing that he was worried that they didn't know how to read?
Zheng Zhongren finished reading the document word by word and turned to look at Jiang Mingshun: "Brother Jiang, do you understand?"

Jiang Mingshun nodded and subconsciously went to find Jiang Jinyu.

Jiang Jinyu went through them one by one in his mind and made sure that the terms in the document were normal transactions. Then he said to Jiang Ming, "Dad, please write that method to Master Qu."

Jiang Mingshun breathed a sigh of relief. He signed his name on the deed first, printed his fingerprint on his name, and then took the pen and paper.

He wrote a large character on the paper with unfamiliar movements, which was in sharp contrast with Qu Wenping's regular handwriting.

Jiang Jinyu couldn't bear to stare and blinked. Thinking about the fact that her mother-in-law was completely illiterate, and that she was a semi-illiterate who could only read half of the words, she couldn't help but raise her head and think that the cultural level of her family was in urgent need of improvement!
After signing the deed, you still have to go to the county government office to change the owner of the household. In this way, the village has truly changed its owner.

"Zhuangzi was originally taken care of by a steward from the Qu family," Shopkeeper Zhao led a few people to Zhuangzi: "The people who work are all farmers found in the surrounding villages. When the farming season is busy, they have to find other day laborers."

"The manager is still coming back to Qu's house with me. It's up to Mr. Jiang to decide whether to use the remaining long-term workers."

When Jiang Mingshun thought that there was such a big piece of land waiting for him, he immediately felt itchy and asked, "What was originally planted in Zhuangzi?"

"Go straight after leaving the city gate." Shopkeeper Zhao lifted the curtain to show the way to Jiang Mingshun, who was driving the car. After confirming the direction, he replied: "The Qu family wants to make wine."

"Of course we have to grow food."

"Barley, wheat, sorghum, glutinous rice, everything is grown."

Jiang Mingshun understood, food is good, and having food makes people feel at ease.

Indeed, as Zheng Zhongren said before, Zhuangzi was very close to the south gate, and it took only two quarters of an hour to reach the place.

Zhuangzi looked at it as not exquisite, just a field surrounded by earth walls. Even the door was an ordinary wooden door, which looked like two bed boards.

"Ahem," Shopkeeper Zhao coughed awkwardly and explained, "This Zhuangzi is small."

"We can only grow some food. Our master doesn't care much about this and doesn't come here often." Afraid that Jiang Mingshun might think that he was not good at Zhuangzi to deceive them, he added: "The fields inside are only a lot more than those outside. It’s all good farmland.”

"It's all because of neglect over the years."

Jiang Mingshun waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's already good."

In Huangtian Village, they have never had the habit of enclosing their fields. Even the landlords in the surrounding villages do not do this. How much money will it cost?
Jiang Mingshun thought that Zhuangzi built a wall to encircle it, which was very good.

Shopkeeper Zhao said a few words to the steward in Zhuangzi and asked him to go back and call the long-term workers over.

It is now spring plowing, and although it has not yet reached the busiest time, the long-term workers have already started working in the fields.

Not long after he was in charge, he brought in seven men, all of whom were young and strong, and there was also a woman who looked to be in her thirties.

The steward brought the people to Jiang Mingshun and said, "Mr. Jiang, these are long-term workers often hired by Zhuangzi. Some of them have been working for more than ten years. They are all villagers from nearby villages."

After that, he pointed to the woman next to him: "This is my wife, she usually cooks for us."

Shopkeeper Zhao stepped aside after telling his colleagues about Zhuangzi's change of ownership, leaving Jiang Mingshun to handle the following matters by himself.

Suddenly being stared at by a circle of people, Jiang Mingshun was a little at a loss.

When the steward saw that he was silent, he couldn't help but remind him: "I wonder if Mr. Jiang will continue to take care of this village."

"If Mr. Jiang has people in his family, he will give them a severance package to get rid of them."

"If there is not enough manpower, these people are all experienced, why don't Mr. Jiang keep them for a try?"

They were all people who worked under him all year round. He couldn't bear that they would lose their jobs like this, so the manager couldn't help but say a word for those long-term workers.

Jiang Mingshun was reminded and reacted immediately.

He quietly straightened his body and said in a deep voice to several long-term workers standing together: "I'm about to get busy when I see it. You are all used to working here."

"This time I will still give these lands to you."

"We'll talk about other things later."

This depends on their performance.

The stewards and long-term workers all breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if they could continue to work.

As for whether they can stay in the future, it depends on their own efforts.

Jiang Mingshun handed over to the stewards and long-term workers again, and then left Zhuangzi together.

The long-term workers usually do not go back. They have a place to live in Zhuangzi, and they only go home during the New Year and holidays.

Someone was guarding him, and Jiang Ming took Jiang Jinyu away with peace of mind.

It was already dark when the two arrived home.

When Bai saw someone coming back, she quickly took out the food that was warm in the pot.

While she was busy, she asked: "How is it? Does the Qu family want our wine?"

Jiang Mingshun washed his hands, changed out of his dusty coat, and then carefully took out the deed from his arms: "Here, the ownership has been transferred."

"In the future, our family will have dozens of acres of land!"
