Chapter 333 Return to the Village
When Grandpa Qin saw this, he felt a little guilty and looked at Qin Xiaomi angrily... This girl didn't know how to take it easy. Third Master Qu was so smoked that he almost rolled his eyes.
Grandpa Qin was too embarrassed to call Third Master Qu into the house to suffer, so he said to Quda: "Brother Da, you and your father go first. We have to wait for Brother Zhao and his family. Let's meet at the gate of the city. ”
If it were in the past, Mr. Qu would have said that Grandpa Qin was a big help and would have given him benefits. He was waiting for others, but now he just felt that Grandpa Qin was too considerate and said hurriedly: "Mr. Qin, let's meet at the gate of the city. Remember to bring your household registration and banknotes. After we come back from outside the city, we will go directly to the government office. Today Let’s get this done.”
It must be done, he doesn’t want to be smoked tomorrow!
"Brother Da, let's go." Mr. Qu called his son and walked away.
Quda saluted Grandpa Qin, said a few words to Jiang Dalang, and left with a little reluctance.
......
Half an hour later, Qu Sanye and the others finally waited for the Qin and Zhao families at the gate of the city.
Zhao Yongcheng was so excited that he hurriedly apologized to Master Qu: "Master Qu, I'm sorry. My family lives far away, which has delayed everyone's time."
Mr. Qu waved his hand: "No problem, let's set off as soon as everyone is here."
"Hey!" Zhao Yongcheng didn't dare to delay any more and hurriedly got in the car. The group of people sat in several cars and rushed out of the city. go.
It is not snowing now, there is no thick snow to block it, and the vehicles are running fast. After more than half an hour, the leading Qu family mule cart turned into a side road.
After running for about a quarter of an hour, I saw a large field connected together. At a glance, it was really fertile and boundless.
Not long after, the Qu family’s mule cart stopped.
After Mr. Qu got out of the car, he pointed to a field and said, "Mr. Qin and Qin Xiaodong's family, this is the field where spring wheat used to be grown."
Rice and flour are expensive, so this field can be used to grow wheat and rice. , all are fertile fields.
Mr. Qu Sanye took Grandpa Qin and others to a stone tablet again, pointed at the stone tablet and said: "From this stone tablet to the house deep in the field, there is a land of tens of feet in length and width. , all are fertile fields to be sold to you.”
The servants of the Qu family have already brought the measuring tools, followed by a dozen tenants.
"Third Master, do you want to measure the land now?" A servant came over and asked.
"Well, divide it into four teams and do it faster." Mr. Qu urged, and he must finish the land sale today!
"Yes." The servants of the Qu family immediately led the tenants to leave.
Master Qu San said: "Mr. Qin, Qin Xiaodong, please go to the fields and look at the land."
"Hey." Grandpa Qin and Zhao Yongcheng could not hold themselves back for a long time. Immediately go to the field to check the soil quality... black soil. After digging a little, you can still see the sedimented mud and oil.
Grandpa Qin said happily: "Good land, good land, much better than the fields in Zhongyuan Prefecture."
Zhongyuan Prefecture is short of water and is covered in yellow-grey broken land. There is almost no land with mud and oil!
Although Zhao Yongcheng had never farmed much, he was familiar with farming. He knew that this was prime farmland, and he was overjoyed.
Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin also went to see the fields and confirmed that it was fertile land, but they didn’t tell them... Before they buy something, they should not praise it. What if the Qu family takes the opportunity to raise the price? manage? !
Master Qu was very satisfied with their excitement and said: "Buying land is a big deal. You don't have to worry. You can depend on the soil quality one acre at a time."
Mumudu Look, what a slap in the face to the Qu family. Grandpa Qin and the others dug the soil every ten meters and looked at it. After watching, Qin Ying and Qin Eryong were left to measure the acres of fields with the Qu family’s servants, and then followed Third Master Qu. Father and son went to see the five houses.
The house is only a few meters away from the fields, so it is very convenient for farming, guarding crops and harvesting grain.
The five large houses are built half with bricks and half with wood. They have high foundations and are not easily flooded. You don’t have to worry about getting damp when food is placed in the room.
In one of the rooms, there are piles of sledges, sickles, hoes, shovels and other farm tools. These farm tools alone are worth about ten taels of silver. What makes Grandpa Qin even more satisfied is that there is a pond with water storage behind the house, and there are several canals crisscrossing this large field, and the end of the canals is a large river a few miles away.
Irrigation of the fields is no problem at all.
Grandpa Qin praised it repeatedly.
Second Uncle Qin pulled Grandpa Qin's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, please hold back. Don't always boast. If the price goes up, you will lose money."
Seeing that Grandpa Qin was satisfied, Qin Xiaomi had already gone to find him Third Master Qu said: "The land is very good. My family has decided to buy it. What does the Qu family want from my Qin family? Please tell me clearly."
Such a good farmland is delivered to your doorstep. Let her family buy it, and the Qu family will definitely have something to ask for.
Uh, it was so straightforward that Mr. Qu choked up.
Quda said: "Dad, the Qin family is all straight-forward, just say it."
Qu Sanye swore that if there were no outsiders here, he would beat this brat!
"Qin Xiaodong's family is indeed smart, but the Qu family sold this fertile land to your family not because they wanted the Qin family to do anything, but because they just wanted to maintain the friendship between the two families." Third Master Qu said again. : "My fourth brother said that if Qin Xiaodong's family feels sorry for him, , when doing new business in the future, it will be a share of the Qu family. If the Qu family needs something from the Qin family in the future, it would be even better."
Nurture the sentiment. Dividing and following up is a business method that every household does.
And this matter is indeed the style of Fourth Master Qu... Although this guy is a semi-slave of a powerful family, he is not willing to be a semi-slave, so he wants to catch up with someone as capable as the Qin family I want to find another way out for the family.
"Sure, the Qin family has accepted this favor. Thank you very much, the Qu family." Qin Xiaomi's words were considered a promise.
She took out another five hundred and eighty taels of silver notes and gave them to Mr. Qu: "The extra five hundred and eighty taels of silver are the hard-earned money for the tenant farmers."
Although the Qu family Tenants will be resettled, but when the land changes hands, the tenants will be a little panicked. This is considered as a shock payment to them.
"Qin Xiaodong's family is interested." Mr. Qu was very happy that Qin Xiaomi had kindness in his heart. After accepting the banknote, he took the Qin family to rest in the house for a while, waiting for the fields to be measured, and Qin Zhao After the two families determined the number of acres of fertile land, they drove to Fucheng.
Shen Shiqian went to the government office. Because Mr. Qu was with him, the Qin and Zhao families quickly completed the new contract.
The deed required ten taels, and the Qin and Zhao families paid for it.
After coming out of the government office, Mr. Qu didn't bother the Qin family too much. He asked about the date of their departure from the city. After saying they would see him off later, he took Qu Da home.
"Brother Qin, thank you very much. If it weren't for your family, my family would never be able to buy such fertile land." Zhao Yongcheng thanked him repeatedly and gave one hundred and sixty taels of silver notes to Grandpa Qin: " This is the money to buy the land and a house. Brother Qin took it."
Grandpa Qin took it.
Seeing that it was not too late, Qin Xiaomi said, "Grandpa, let's take Mr. Zhao back to Da'an Street. By the way, we can meet Aunt Yan's family and talk to them about farming and guarding the crops."
Grandpa Qin nodded: "Okay, let's go to Da'an Street together."
......
The Yan family soon learned that the Qin and Zhao families bought the house at No. 4 Zhenxing Lane, Da'an Street. There were seventy acres of fertile land outside, and the Qin family was shocked that they wanted to hire them to farm and look after the crops.
Daughter-in-law Yan said: "Qin, Mr. Qin, your family really wants to hire us to farm and look after the crops?!"
They used to be hooligans with no land and no house. I envy those who have fields. Every year during the busy harvest time, they dream of harvesting wheat.
Moreover, their family has dozens of people, large and small, and many of them have no work to do. If they can have a job of farming and tending crops, their family can live a more comfortable life.
