Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 145 Sand
"Daughter-in-law Youyi, when we saw the hilltop you bought, we all thought you were going to plant peanuts. But then we heard you say you were going to plant tea trees, and we thought you wouldn't plant peanuts. Now you're here to buy land again, and this time you're going to plant it. Have you got any peanuts?" Chen Zou and Bai Taotao chatted.

Bai Taotao smiled, shook her head and replied, "No, I won't plant peanuts this time either."

Chen Zou: "You don't grow peanuts? But that piece of wasteland is estimated to be about a hundred acres, so why are you bothering?"

Bai Taotao gave it up and said with a smile: "It will be kept secret for now."

The piece of land on the other side of the river, oh no, I should say there are two pieces of land. The two pieces of land are together upstream and downstream along the river. Mainly, their village built a road out of the middle, and then they were disconnected. One piece upstream, one piece downstream. The two pieces of land combined must be about a hundred acres.

If after all the trees and weeds above are cleared away, the two plots of land are really sandy, then she will make a fortune.

After returning to Chen Lizheng's house, Bai Taotao immediately decided that she would buy the land.

So as soon as Chen Lizheng finished his work, he took several clan elders with him to measure the land for Baitaotao.

However, it took some time for Bai Taotao to see the land by himself, and it took a lot of time to measure the two pieces of land. It was not until noon the next day that Chen Lizheng came over with the area of ​​the two pieces of land and told Bai Taotao.

"Daughter-in-law Youyi, the two pieces of land you want have been measured out for you. According to the head and tail marks you marked yesterday, the total area of ​​the two pieces of land is 143 acres, which is converted into a total of 114 acres. Two hundred and four hundred words.”

With that said, Chen Lizheng handed the measured data to Bai Taotao. Bai Taotao said: "Uncle Lizheng is doing the work. I can rest assured that there is no need to look at it. Aunt Tan, go get one hundred and fifteen taels of silver." Uncle Li Zheng.”

Nanny Tan returned to the house and took some silver for Bai Taotao. Bai Taotao took the silver and handed it to Chen Lizheng: "Uncle Li Zheng, one hundred, fourteen, two and four hundred cents is the money to buy the land, and the other six hundred cents It’s used for land title management.”

Chen Lizheng smiled, took out a couple of silver and handed it back to Bai Taotao: "What else is needed to apply for the land deed for you? As soon as they heard that it was for Mrs. Chen, they immediately applied for it for you, and even poured a glass of it. Tea reception. Just give me four hundred coins."

Hearing this, Bai Taotao did not shirk, looked at Nanny Tan and said, "Nanny, just exchange it for 400 yuan."

Grandma Tan took the silver and went to the house to change it. At this time, Chen Defu came over with a small bamboo basket in his hand. Bai Taotao saw this and greeted him first: "Uncle is here."

Chen Defu smiled and nodded, then handed the small bamboo basket to Bai Taotao: "Your auntie made some new buns today, let me get you some to try."

Bai Taotao was not polite, she took it with both hands with a smile, then lifted off the small gauze covering it, and handed it to Chen Lizheng: "Borrow the flowers to offer to Buddha, and Uncle Li Zheng will have a taste too."

Chen Lizheng said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite. Everyone knows that Cheng Niang's buns are delicious, so if you don't eat them, you won't get it for free." Chen Lizheng said and took one casually.

Then Bai Taotao handed another one to Chen Defu, and Chen Defu waved his hand: "You can eat what I got for you. If I want to eat for a while, I will go to your aunt to get it."

Chen Defu didn't ask for it, so Bai Taotao naturally ate it without any courtesy.

After taking a bite, it turned out to be stuffed with sour bamboo shoots and minced meat. Bai Taotao smiled and said: "My aunt knows how to toss. This big bun with sour bamboo shoots and minced meat is so delicious."

Chen Defu: "Daughter-in-law Youyi, I heard your sister-in-law came back and said that you are going to Fucheng in the next two days?"

Bai Taotao didn't understand anything after hearing this, "Well, the tea trees that Youyi helped find someone to buy will almost arrive in Fucheng in the past two days. The team that delivered them was in a hurry, so I had to take someone to pick up the goods. "

Hearing this, Chen Defu took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Bai Taotao: "If you have time, give this to Yousheng. When he went to Fucheng, his family collected forty taels." , I don’t know how this child is doing over there, but I can’t be wronged.”

"It's been more than a month since I went to Fucheng, and I haven't written a letter back home. I guess everyone is still angry with me as a father." Chen Lizheng heard the words and said with a smile: "That's not true, life is not like that. You careless kid, I’ve only been here for more than a month. It’s normal to be busy studying and not have time to write letters. I can’t spend so much money to study and still waste time writing letters to you.”

Bai Taotao echoed: "Uncle Li Zheng is right. You have grown up, so there is nothing to worry about. Besides, if there is anything, I told him at the time, just let him go to shopkeeper Qin. Uncle, don't be here You are worried. You can take this money back, and your family is still building a house. Money is needed everywhere, and I am still alive."

Chen Defu: "I originally borrowed this money from you. During this period, your aunt's business of selling steamed buns was pretty good, so she had more or less money in her hand. I originally wanted to pay you back some, but I was worried about whether I would survive in Fucheng." We don’t have enough money over there, so I have to pay it back to you later.”

Bai Taotao: "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to spend money. Studying in Fucheng is no better than studying in an academy. You have to spend money everywhere outside, let alone Fucheng. Besides, he is not a child who spends money randomly. If you want money over there, you have to come to him first. Uncle should have realized this a long time ago. Take the money back. I will definitely go there when the time comes. Do you need me for anything else? "Bring it."

Chen Defu: "Nothing else."

Chen Lizheng reminded him jokingly: "Youyi's daughter-in-law rarely comes over. You can just make two buns for her to take with her. No matter how you look for them, they are all made by your own mother. If not, you can let Youyi's daughter-in-law make up for it on the way." The belly is not."

Chen Defu rarely raised his lips and said: "This proposal is feasible. If it works, then I will go back and tell your aunt, and ask her to get up early tomorrow morning and make some buns for you."

Bai Taotao was also polite: "I also want some stuffed with sour bamboo shoots and minced meat."

There are no beans at this time, so it is impossible to make sour beans and minced meat stuffing, but the sour bamboo shoots and minced meat stuffing is also very good.

Chen Defu: "Sure, that's enough."

After saying that, he closed his mouth and turned to leave.

Seeing him leave, Chen Lizheng said hello to Bai Taotao and followed closely behind.

Bai Taotao ate two large steamed buns with minced meat and sour bamboo shoots, and another steamed bun with minced pork and sour bracken, thus saving her lunch.

Everyone just ate the buns. Anyway, the aunt brought her a lot of buns, more than a dozen, which was enough for three people.

The small bowl is too small to eat.

After eating, Bai Taotao asked Ling Su and Ling Feng to prepare the horse-drawn carriage convoy in the afternoon and set off for Linjiang City early tomorrow morning.

Then there is the matter of arranging manpower to start opening up new sites.

The wasteland I bought today contains more than 100 acres of sand. Now in early March, most of the sandy land is covered with weeds. It should be much faster to open than the previous barren hills.

One month should definitely be enough.

By then, it would be early April, and she would be able to arrange planting on it.

Plant new crops and she will have another bumper harvest in three months.

Full of anticipation.
