Chapter 29 Some are happy and some are sad
After hearing Yuan Chuyi's words, Lin Qiuniang's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. Yuan Chuyi's attitude showed that she didn't mind if she went there to sell radish sour.
"Where are you planning to sell it?" Zhang Xiujuan asked casually.
Lin Qiuniang didn't hide her plan, saying that she would go to the big market to sell it. She looked at Yuan Chuyi and said, "Hey, Mrs. Yuan, I'm selling acid as well. By then, your tofu will be ready. Can I buy some goods from you and sell them at the market?"
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, she didn't expect that Lin Qiuniang also wanted to be the dealer, but Wang Chunsheng had already told her before, so she made it clear to Lin Qiuniang about Wang Chunsheng, otherwise it would be bad for the two families to have trouble in the future.
"Aunt, to tell you the truth, your Erlang also told me just now that he wants to take goods from me to sell, and I have already agreed to him! If I agree to you again, I am afraid that he will have objections. If he has no objections, I will no problem!"
Lin Qiuniang didn't expect that Wang Chunsheng also wanted to do business. "Don't worry, I'll go back and discuss this matter with Chunsheng, and I'll make sure it won't embarrass you." She happily helped Yuanchu put away the dishes and chopsticks before going home.
Yuan Qiuniang helped, and she couldn't let her go back empty-handed on the first day of Yuan Chu. She also packed a lot of raw meatballs and tofu fruits to take back. This made Lin Qiuniang even more happy. When Lin Qiuniang returned home, she saw Wang Jiagui sitting in the main room, obviously waiting for her to come back.
Before Wang Jiagui could speak, Lin Qiuniang had already proudly held up a large bowl filled with meatballs, tofu slices and other food. Wang Jiagui was not surprised, "Ms. Yuan is not angry?"
Lin Qiuniang smiled proudly, "Mrs. Yuan is so stupid, she is not angry! She also agreed that I would take tofu and tofu slices from her and sell them in the city."
Wang Jiagui sighed, "This Madam Yuan is really stupid!" He thought she was stupid when he thought that she wanted to buy that piece of wasteland before the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. "She bought that wasteland for at least 300 acres. She didn't have to pay land tax for the first three years. But three years later, she will also have to pay the spring and autumn field taxes. On such a piece of land, what should she plant to get a good harvest? If the planting fails, what will she use to pay the taxes in the future!"
Lin Qiuniang couldn't help but sigh, "Then she is indeed stupid!"
Not only did Wang Jiagui think it was foolish to buy wasteland on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, but the village chief was even more worried about it. He had persuaded her before and told her the pros and cons, but she still insisted on buying it, which showed that he could not persuade her. He had no choice but to tell the bookkeeper the next day that when he wanted to buy the entire land on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he asked the bookkeeper to lower the price.
The chief secretary also knew that although they were a provincial capital, they were located on the border, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and many fields were abandoned and uncultivated. Now someone wants to buy more than 300 acres of wasteland at once, and he is happy to do so. He immediately went to the prefect He Yutang to ask for permission to lower the price. He Yutang thought that it would be better to keep the wasteland because he would be able to receive no tax two years after selling it, so he immediately agreed to pay two hundred and fifty. Every acre is sold.
This made the village chief extremely happy. The price was much cheaper than the original price of 375 cents per acre set by the Yamen. He did not hesitate and immediately asked the chief clerk to send someone to measure the land.
Since the land was sold cheaply, the bookkeeper asked the person measuring the land to pull the line straight to the foot of the mountain and measure all the energy. Finally, the number of acres was a little over 305 acres. The chief bookkeeper said that the zero point would not be counted and would be calculated as 305 acres.
When she saw that the chief clerk was so generous at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, she was not so stingy. When paying the money, she gave the Yamen a total of seventy-six taels and five hundred cents for the land purchase, and gave the chief clerk another ten taels of silver and asked him to measure the land. The guys went for a drink.
The benefit of the village chief was even more important on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. If there was no village chief, she would have spent more than a hundred taels on these lands. Now she has saved dozens of taels and given ten taels to the chief clerk. She has also saved dozens of taels. When she got the land deed, she took two taels of silver to the village chief for a drink, and bought a lot of cloth to give to Wang Guifen and Zhang Xiujuan. Knowing that Zhang Chunlin would get married in a few days, she bought a lot of cloth needed for the wedding. something in the past.
The money used to buy these things was less than ten taels, but the favor was enough.
Zhang Yongfu looked at the room full of cloth, tea, etc., and couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the village.
"Ms. Yuan did this out of favor. Oh, I really have nothing to say."
"Yes, we can really use these things right away, so I accepted them!" Wang Guifen said, "Master, please help her more in the future!"
"know!"
"Xiujuan, please go and help your junior high school sister more often in the future!"
"Mom, I know." Zhang Xiujuan responded obediently, "Mom, the first-year junior high school sister even taught He Chunmei how to recognize a lot of words!"
"Oh!" This surprised Wang Guifen, "Is she literate?"
Zhang Yongfu rolled his eyes at his mother-in-law, "Her father is the master of the imperial examination, why is it strange that she is literate!" He looked at Zhang Xiujuan, "Then you should study hard, become literate, and find a good husband in the future!"
"I don't want to get married yet. I want to stay with my sister from the first year of junior high school for another two years and learn more from her!"
"No matter what you kid said, you are already sixteen. If you don't say goodbye, you will become an old girl!" Wang Guifen said anxiously.
Zhang Xiujuan pouted, "I told the first-year junior high school sister that I would work as an accountant in her mill, and the first-year junior high school sister agreed. She said that as long as I recognize the characters she taught me and pass the arithmetic within three months, the accountant will be given to me. Do!"
"No! How can you, a girl, always show your face! You just go to help out and earn some pocket money. Why are you so wild! I don't agree with being a cashier! If you don't obey me, You will not be allowed to associate with Mrs. Yuan from now on!" Wang Guifen said angrily.
Zhang Xiujuan also became stubborn, and immediately said with a pinched neck: "I don't! I want to learn my skills from the first sister in junior high school! I have decided not to marry until I am eighteen years old. If you don't agree, I, I will go on a hunger strike, I'm hungry die!"
Seeing that her daughter, who had been obedient since she was a child, had now become so stubborn and learned to contradict her, Wang Guifen was furious. She immediately raised her hand and slapped Zhang Xiujuan on the butt, "Go back to your room! If you dare to disobey me, you will do it again." You can’t even get out of this door, do you believe it?”
Zhang Xiujuan was so angry that she stamped her feet and went back to her room angrily.
Wang Guifen looked at Zhang Yongfu and snorted coldly, "I was praising Mrs. Yuan just now, but I didn't expect that she would lead our Juan'er into trouble! I won't let Juan'er go to her place to help in the future!"
"Alas!" Zhang Yongfu sighed. He didn't expect that he would teach his daughter about Yuan Chu and even said that he would work as an accountant for her.
Wang Guifen sighed, "My second sister is still thoughtful. Madam Yuan asked their family to make stone mills before, but she refused without even thinking about it. She said that their family would not associate with Madam Yuan, so as not to ruin the reputation of the child! Let me Don’t let Xiujuan associate with Mrs. Yuan! I even scolded her for being stingy! Now it seems that she understands it clearly!"
Zhang Yongfu also became troubled. He never imagined that his daughter would become disobedient just after being in contact with Yuan Chu for more than half a month!
