Accompany by A Fool to do Farming

Chapter 85 Buy land

Summer is here, and on the back mountain of Zhaojia Village, there is another fruitful fruit. Some are young and immature, and some are already red and ripe.

Because I sold a few small jars of fruit wine last year and made tens of taels of silver, this year Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan discussed to continue brewing. Although they are not short of the money, it is not because of the money.

And this year, you can make more brews so you can leave some to drink at home. Grandfathers and grandmothers can drink them. Soon they will come, uncle and uncle. It is inevitable for people to drink more. When they like it, they may have to take some back.

Zhong Ziqi, who is attentive in all aspects, has thought about it. There is too much stuff to drink, the longer it is, the more mellow it will be.

This year, we need a lot of fruits for wine making. Zhao Zhengan simply hired a few people from the village to go up the mountain to pick them. He picked more than a dozen baskets. There were a lot of these things, but in reality, there was not much after making the wine.

Zhong Ziqi now has a bulging belly like blowing a balloon, often suffering from backache and leg pain. Zhao Zhengan massages him every day to relieve the aches and at the same time avoids letting him work, as long as he walks back and forth appropriately every day.

Nowadays, he can’t find him to make brews, so Zhong Ziqi moved a small stool to direct him.

The method of wine making is not complicated. Although Zhao Zhengan was stupid last time, he still had some impressions. With Zhong Ziqi’s command, there was no technical error.

After brewing, put the altar in the shady wing. Two jars of wine were buried under the tree in the garden by Zhao Zhengan. In Zhao Zhengan’s words, wait until their children can run and jump, and then dig them out when they are sensible.

While Zhong Ziqi was funny, she also went with him.

In August, the two children of the Zhong family, Zhong Zijun and Zhong Ziheng, became relatives one after another. One married and the other married to the outer village. The Zhong family did not come to give any information to Zhong Ziqi, so Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan also I didn’t want to be boring and stayed at home happily.

Zhong Ziqi heard that Zhao Ning, who was well-informed, said that Zhong Zijun, who was married, had married a mean family. The family gave a generous betrothal gift. The Zhong family was really speechless. After contacting him for a period of time, he married her brother. I have never understood the specific situation of the family carefully. I heard people from a village with that family say that the people in this family’s family are not good. The two elderly people like to pick and choose, find faults, and usually have a special life at home. He is frugal and rich, but he is reluctant to spend it. He is too busy to search and search. One can imagine what kind of treatment Zhong Zijun will encounter after he gets married. But all this has nothing to do with Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. They can sympathize a little bit, but they won’t be nosy with mice.

Zhong Ziqi has been a bit sad during this period of time, his legs are swollen, and now he needs to walk with his waist when he goes out and walks, Zhong Ziqi deeply understands the difficulty of women. Then it hurts more than when giving birth, Zhong Ziqi thought.

Zhao Zhengan feels distressed for Zhong Ziqi. As long as he spares time every day, he will sit on the kang and massage his hands and feet. Now his family’s daily income has been fixed, more than fifty taels of silver, and now the family has already saved a lot of money.

“Daughter-in-law, have you thought about buying land?” Zhao Zhengan asked. I said before that I would buy land and rent it out when I was rich. This money is the safest and safest.

Zhong Ziqi lay lazily. After enjoying Zhao Zhengan’s more proficient massage techniques, he said after a long while: “What do you think? Will you be too busy?”

Zhong Ziqi still yearned for that kind of landlord life, leisurely and at ease.

“I have no problem. If you buy it, it would be good. Now there is a phenomenon in our village or other villages. There are more and more people, but the land is not enough. If you buy land, it is too expensive. They have a year’s harvest. It is not necessarily impossible to buy it. So if we buy the land and then sublet it out, there will definitely be many people coming to buy it.” Zhao Zhengan analyzed to Zhong Ziqi.

“Well, if like you said, we can buy it back, and we can make a lot of money every year if we sublet it.”

“Well, I think so too, so I want to ask what you think.” Zhao Zhengan said.

“Then buy it, anyway, the money is enough.” Zhong Ziqi finally nodded in agreement.

“Well… I’ll go to the county to ask the master tomorrow.” Zhao Zhengan nodded and said.

The next day, Zhao Zhengan entered the town with a full bank note in his arms. The master in the Yamen had already known Zhao Zhengan, because Zhao Zhengan would often bring good things to bribe them. Even the county grandfather knew Zhao Zhengan and treated him nicely.

“Brother Zhengan, what’s the matter for coming so early today?” Master asked, touching his moustache.

Zhao Zhengan smiled and handed the delicious food he had brought to Master: “Yes, the kid is here today to see Master for something.”

The master took the things and put them aside and said, “What’s the matter?”

“Master, this is the case, I want to buy land, I don’t know if there is a suitable one.” Zhao Zhengan said.

“Oh? Want to buy land? How much?” Zhao Zhengan shook his head: “I have to buy a lot. I want to rent it out.”

“Lease out? Don’t even say that I have some suitable ones here, not far from your Zhaojia Village. They are all next to each other, do you want?”

“Yes, of course.” Zhao Zhengan said in surprise. He originally thought that there was not much land around, but he was told that there is today. Naturally, he was very happy.

Zhao Zhengan discussed with his master in the county for a long time, and finally bought hundreds of acres of land. Zhao Zhengan happily went home with the title deed and showed it to Zhong Ziqi.

Zhong Ziqi took the title deed and read it twice and said he was also very happy.

Now that the land was bought, Zhao Zhengan went to Lizheng’s house and notified Li Zheng’s first. Zhao Zhengan also told Li Zheng’an to tell each other. Li Zheng’s family heard that Zhao Zheng’an had bought so much land. Without saying anything else, they first ordered more than ten acres of land, and then ordered a few acres for their son. They were short of land, so Zhao Zheng’an sent charcoal in the snow. Since Zhao Zheng’an Ask him to help publicize, then he will naturally not break his promise. The villagers who come and go often will tell Lizheng. As soon as the villagers hear that there is land to buy, they immediately surround Zhong Ziqi’s house, usually some wealthy people or People with less land come to inquire in detail.

Zhao Zhengan reported a price. Some people hesitate to hear how much an acre of land costs a year, and some people are scared by the price, but they still agree to buy more.

Because of the price quoted by Zhao Zhengan, they would understand after careful consideration that their annual income per mu of land is definitely more than the rent. Since it is suitable, they will naturally buy it. Zhao Zhengan still used this method for propaganda in neighboring villages. The village chief who sought out first asked the village chief to help with the propaganda. It didn’t take long for hundreds of acres of land to be rented out, which was beyond Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi. As expected, the response is very good and the speed is also very fast. Most people in the village maintain respect for Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. From then on, they are Zhao Zhengan and their farm hires and must be treated with care.

It’s just that after they booked it, they can’t grow anything this year, at best they can grow some vegetables in the fall. In a flash, time flies quickly, and it’s September.

September is coming soon. Zhong Ziqi predicts that his grandfather and the others will be coming soon. Two days ago, he wrote to say that the wedding had been done, and he just rushed back when he was ready, and my uncle and my uncle would also follow.

Zhong Ziqi is still a little expecting what will happen to his uncle.
