Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 40 Planning to buy land
Jiang Duyue glanced at Li Kaishi in surprise. Although she was a little surprised by his request, it was reasonable when she thought about it carefully.

Regarding this point, Jiang Duyue had also thought about it before. As long as Li Kaishi can give reasonable conditions, of course she would like to cooperate with a store in a stable way.

"Since shopkeeper Li said so, then shopkeeper Li will have to forgive me a lot." Jiang Duyue thought for a while, then nodded readily.

Li Kaishi smiled with satisfaction, and immediately revealed the previous secret recipe: "Then Miss Jiang thinks 200 taels of silver is enough? If Miss Jiang thinks it is not suitable, we can discuss it again."

Jiang Duyue was already very satisfied with the price, so she nodded without thinking too much: "This price already flatters me."

"Okay, then let's sign the contract now?" Li Kaishi said impatiently. He really thought this secret recipe was very valuable and wanted to use it in restaurants as soon as possible.

Jiang Duyue nodded, and the two negotiated in detail, and then drafted an agreement on the spot, in duplicate, signed and pressed their fingerprints, and the agreement became effective.

Holding the 200 taels of silver note that Li Kaishi asked someone to send, Jiang Duyue silently calculated, and now she has a total of 270 taels of silver.If all the money was used to buy land, it would be 54 acres of fertile land. From this point of view, it shouldn't be too little, right?
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Duyue simply turned around and asked, "Mother, when do you think it's suitable for us to buy land?"

Only then did Han Qingmei recover from the shock of 200 taels of silver, and after thinking about it for a while, she said with a puzzled face: "Mother doesn't know when to buy land, but mother thinks it's better not to buy land for the time being."

After all, he had already decided to leave the Jiang family. If he bought the land at this time, he might cause a lot of troubles.

Jiang Duyue also thought of this, but buying land is definitely not something that can be done in a day, and it must be prepared first.

"Miss Jiang wants to buy land?" Li Kaishi smiled very kindly, thinking in his heart that if he helped Miss Jiang so much today, his boss would definitely appreciate him greatly.

When Jiang Duyue heard Li Kaishi's question, she suddenly had an idea in her heart. Li Kaishi must know a lot of people in the town. If he can help, things will be much easier: "Exactly, it's just that we all I don’t know much, so I don’t know what to do for a while.”

"Well, if Miss Jiang can trust me, why don't you ask me to help, maybe I can help Miss Jiang?" Li Kaishi tried his best to make his expression look serious and sincere.

Jiang Duyue deliberately hesitated: "Will this be too much trouble for shopkeeper Li?"

"No trouble, I happen to know a few brokers, so it's just a matter of a few words, not too much trouble." Li Kaishi waved his hands repeatedly.

In fact, Jiang Duyue was also a little puzzled about Li Kaishi's attitude towards her, but what she thought was that the other party might really think that her method was very good, so she treated her so politely.

"Since shopkeeper Li said so, then I won't be hypocritical, and shopkeeper Li has to worry about this matter." Jiang Duyue thanked earnestly.

Li Kaishi took advantage of the situation and asked, "I don't know what requirements Miss Jiang has for this place?"

Jiang Duyue couldn't make up her mind about this, so she could only ask Han Qingmei again: "Mother, what are your plans when we leave the Jiang family? Where will we end up then?"

Mentioning this matter, Han Qingmei also had a sad look on her face: "Mother doesn't know, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to your grandfather's place, hey..."

Han Qingmei's natal family is in the neighboring village of Qingyuan Village, called Qingxi Village. The two villages are actually very close to each other, with only a few miles between them. However, Han Qingmei seldom goes back to her natal home after being married for so many years.

One of the reasons is naturally the harsh treatment of the Zhao family, and another important reason is Han Qingmei's natal family.

Before she got married, Han Qingmei was not very well received in her natal family. Her parents favored sons over daughters, and she was the eldest daughter. Naturally, she had to do all kinds of work and take care of her younger siblings. One of the reasons for being able to endure Zhao's harsh treatment.

Although Jiang Duyue didn't know about this, but looking at Han Qingmei's expression, she also knew that there must be something wrong with her natal family: "Then why don't we stay in Qingyuan Village and build a house when the time comes? Yet?"

"But there is no man in our family..." In this era, especially in rural areas, men are indeed very important. If there is no man who can take care of the family, life will be very difficult.

Jiang Duyue knew what Han Qingmei was worried about, so she pointed at Xiaonian with a smile: "Who said there is no man in our family, isn't Xiaonian?"

"Sister is right, I will definitely protect my mother and sister!" Xiaonian proudly puffed out her small chest and made a promise.

Although both Jiang Duyue and Han Qingmei knew that Xiaonian's guarantee was nothing, but seeing Xiaonian's well-behaved appearance, both of them felt warm in their hearts.

Han Qingmei sniffed and smiled: "Mother knows that Xiaonian is very capable, and when Xiaonian grows up, he will definitely be a man of indomitable spirit."

"Sister also believes in you." Jiang Duyue smiled and rubbed Xiaonian's head.

Seeing the interaction of the three mothers, Li Kaishi silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Jiang Duyue noticed Li Kaishi's gaze, and then came back to her senses, and asked Han Qingmei, "Mother, how much does it cost to build a three-room courtyard in our village?"

"If it's a thatched hut, it shouldn't need much money. You just have to take care of the meals for those who help, maybe a few pennies a day." Han Qingmei only had a general understanding of the situation, although Jiang Shouren had gone to help several times before People build houses, but I didn't talk to her in detail.

Although Jiang Duyue's requirements for the living environment are not too high, she must at least be above the middle level. She does not plan to build a thatched house: "What if it is a brick house? How much does it cost?"

"This...mother is not very clear, but it should be around ten taels of silver at most." Han Qingmei replied with some embarrassment after being taken aback for a moment.

Li Kaishi interjected, "If it's a brick house with three rooms and a yard, I'm afraid it will cost a lot more than a thatched house. Even if only the materials are counted, it will cost about 30 to [-] taels of silver, and the brick house is not human. Anyone can build it, I'm afraid we need to hire a special master."

"So that's the case. If this is the case, we have to calculate the money to build the house first." Jiang Duyue nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Master Li, I have limited money now, so the places I can buy are limited." Not much, about [-] acres or so. As for the location, as long as it is near Qingyuan Village, it is best if they are connected together. I don’t know if this is a high requirement?"

"It doesn't sound like much, but I have to wait until I ask first. Sometimes buying land depends on chance." Although Li Kaishi already had an idea in his heart, he didn't talk too much.

Jiang Duyue nodded in understanding: "No matter what, I'll thank shopkeeper Li first here. If there is any news at that time, you can just ask the guy who is going to pull the wild vegetables to bring a word."

Afterwards, Jiang Duyue exchanged a few words with Li Kaishi, and then offered to leave. Li Kaishi planned to send a carriage to take Jiang Duyue and others back, but Jiang Duyue politely refused. It was rare to come out, and she didn't want to go back so early .

After exiting the door of Shuiyue Tower, Jiang Duyue turned to ask Han Qingmei for advice: "Mother, since we are all here, why don't we take a stroll?"

"That's good, my mother also brought some money to buy you some things." Han Qingmei nodded with a smile. She was very happy to be able to go shopping with the children so comfortably.

But Xiaonian suddenly said at this time: "Sister, those bank notes, can't they be fake?"

Jiang Duyue was taken aback for a moment, very puzzled: "Why does Xiao Nian ask such a question?"

"Sister, I just think it's too unreal. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You made 200 taels of silver all at once. God, how could there be so much?" Xiaonian didn't know that Jiang Duyue had already earned I bought 70 taels of silver, so I was really scared all of a sudden.

Jiang Duyue couldn't help laughing: "It's true, the money will be ours from now on, Xiaonian, are you happy?"

"Happy! Sis, you are amazing. I wish I could be as awesome as you." Xiao Nian looked at Jiang Duyue with eyes filled with admiration.

Jiang Duyue rubbed Xiaonian's head: "When Xiaonian grows up, he will definitely be able to make more money."

"Really?" Xiaonian looked at Jiang Duyue with bright eyes.

Jiang Duyue nodded seriously, and said again: "Xiao Nian, my sister has made a lot of money today, if you want anything, just tell me, and I will buy it for you."

Xiaonian's eyes brightened all of a sudden: "Sister, you are so kind!"

Looking at the two children in front of her, Han Qingmei seemed to see hope, and even the confusion and helplessness caused by leaving the Jiang family disappeared a lot: "Mother also brought money today, what do you want? Mommy will buy it for you."

Jiang Duyue and Xiaonian cheered at the same time, and then they began to look for the target with great interest.

Walking down a street, Jiang Duyue and Xiaonian's hands were full of things, including lifelike little noodle figures, sweet and delicious candies, fragrant fried chestnuts, and smelly and delicious food. fried stinky tofu.Even Han Qingmei had several things in her hands, which the children couldn't handle.

After walking around for a while, it was getting late, Jiang Duyue directly suggested: "Mom, why don't we just eat in this town?"

"Success, what do you want to eat?" Han Qingmei already dotes on children, so she naturally agreed at this time. In the past, she might still worry that it would be inconvenient for Jiang Shouren to be alone at home, but at this moment, there are only two people left in her eyes. child.

"Xiao Nian, what do you want to eat?" Jiang Duyue asked Xiao Nian.

Xiaonian thought for a while, then shook his head blankly, this is his second visit to the town, and he doesn't know where there is any place to eat in the town: "I can't think of one either, let me tell you, sister. "

"Then why don't we eat wontons?" Jiang Duyue suggested.

Xiaonian's eyes lit up, he only heard from his cousin that the wontons are delicious, and the meat stuffing inside is delicious, but he hasn't eaten them yet: "Okay, I want to eat wontons too!"

"Okay, then let's eat wontons." Han Qingmei looked at the two children with a smile.

The family of three walked around again, and finally found a wonton stall at the entrance of an alley. After sitting down, Jiang Duyue asked the price first, and thought the price was very reasonable, and then ordered three bowls of wonton.

When the hot wontons were served, Xiao Nian was already drooling a lot.

"Well, it's so hot, it's burning me to death..." Xiaonian took the lead in scooping up a wonton with a spoon and put it in his mouth. He was so hot that he breathed out, but he couldn't bear to spit out the wonton.

Jiang Duyue hurriedly poured him a glass of water, and said angrily, "Why are you eating in such a hurry? It's not when you're in the old house, you won't be able to eat enough."

"I just think this wonton is too fragrant." Xiaonian drank his saliva and scratched his head embarrassingly.

However, after hearing Jiang Duyue's words, Han Qingmei became more determined in her choice. She must not let her child live the days of not having enough to eat.

The three of them were eating hotly when a young girl's voice suddenly came from over there: "Hey, isn't this a girl from the Jiang family?"
