Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 698 Visiting (1)
There are five large courtyards in total. The terrain is relatively high, and they are all green bricks and green tiles. It looks very good, and the courtyard wall is higher than expected. There is also a ditch under the courtyard wall, which can drain water in rainy days and prevent small thieves from entering. .

Qingli went into several rooms and found that the room was dry and well ventilated, and there were no mouse holes in the corners. After asking, she found out that this was the storehouse where Yuanwai Zhao kept grain and rice. This year, there was plenty of rain, and it looked like another bumper harvest year. If it wasn't for the movement in Pingyang, he wouldn't be willing to sell it anyway.

Qingli walked around, and there was a relatively large pond on the villa, surrounded by green trees and beautiful scenery, she sat in the gazebo for a while, and gave Steward Wang a wink, she took a fancy to this Zhuangzi, and the situation was overwhelming. It must be won. As for the price, let Steward Wang discuss it. It is also a test of his ability.

"Miss, Mr. Zhao is leaving in a hurry. Some tables, chairs, benches, beds and the like in the farm will not be taken away. They will all be given to us. In addition, there are twenty tenants. The harvest will be divided into four or six points from the farm. They will share [-]%. We Responsible for food tax."

Steward Wang came over to introduce the basic situation. Zhao Yuanwai was very distressed and refused to reduce the price. He made a few demands on his own side, but the other side couldn't meet them. He was anxious that he might not find a good buyer in a short time. Finally, When the price is reduced to 500 taels, the land is easy to sell, and many people are willing to sell it, but they think it is not worthwhile to take the extra 500 taels with Zhuangzi.

"Almost, the price is fine."

Qingli acquiesced that this price was the final transaction price in her heart. If there were no rumors, Zhuangzi plus the fertile land would be worth at least 1 taels. Others think that the warehouse on the Zhuangshang is a burden, but to her, it is the most useful thing.

Without further ado, the two families immediately signed an agreement, agreeing to go to the Yamen to go through the formalities early in the morning, and the money for the formalities will also be borne by Yuan Zhao's family. Entering the small courtyard was even better than she expected.

"Miss, do you want to meet the tenants?"

Steward Wang hesitated for a moment and asked questions. Generally, when the owner changed, the tenants felt uneasy. They were afraid that the owner would take back the land or oppress them in the coming year, so it would be best to call people over and explain.

"Well, it's busy farming now, and everyone is working in the fields. It's good to send one person from each family."

Qingli walked around the village with her hands behind her back. It was not as hot as in Kyoto, and there was a cool breeze blowing around. She lowered her head and looked at the emerald green pond water. There was her reflection in the water. Qingli Waving a small handkerchief towards the pond, I am in a good mood.

The tenants were uneasy. Zhao Yuanwai’s owner was very good. Now that they had changed people again, they felt guilty. What if they didn’t follow the previous four or six points, or publish an article on the grain tax? Some loss.

"Fellow folks, don't worry. It turns out that the contract between you and Yuanwai Zhao is still the same when it comes to me, but it's just a different owner."

Qingli said a few words to reassure the people. These tenants are all nearby. If something happens, there is a helper. She is not familiar with this area, and there is no reason to change tenants. She told the tenants that it is too much work. Much reason.

"Miss, don't worry, we are working hard!"

Several tenant representatives scrambled to speak, their backs were already wet with sweat, and their bare legs looked like they had rushed over after receiving news from the field. Qingli nodded and asked everyone to do their own work.

"Steward Wang, if I go back to Xiaofeng County, it's up to you to come and visit here from time to time."

After the matter was settled, on the way back to the mansion, Qing Li and Butler Wang explained some follow-up matters.

At this time, it was the end of the You hour, the sky was gradually darkening, and the sky was dyed red by the burning clouds. Qingli raised the curtain of the carriage, looked at the rice fields outside, and suddenly thought of an inspiring song - in the hope on the field.

I hope that this year will be a good harvest year, so that the soldiers of Muyang and Pingyang will be fed and clothed, and these invaders will be driven back to their lairs as soon as possible, and a piece of pure land will be restored.

After returning from the village, the sky was completely dark, and the cool wind flowed in the air, which relieved the heat of the day. Qingli sat in the small gazebo by the pond in the yard, and asked Mammy Yu to light the lantern hanging from it, holding the Gills, wait for the malt to come back with the meal.

"Miss, the cold skin you mentioned, I tried to make it, but I didn't expect it to be very successful."

Nanny Yu stood behind Qingli, thumping her back with both hands, eager to ask for credit, saying so also proves that she is ingenious, the lady just gave simple instructions, the first time she did it, it was done, that is, steamed the first picture When it is hot, there are more bubbles and the fire is a little too big.

"Well, it's nice to be brave."

Qingli heard that the Liangpi was successful, and remembering the hot and sour taste, she also got an appetite. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, and Mai Ya had already returned with a food box.

"Miss, this servant is greedy and asked Nanny Yu to make some more. It's really refreshing. Miss Qingju also used the Liangpi for dinner, and she has been praising it."

Malt gave a thumbs up, and then opened the food box, revealing a bowl of Liangpi, with chili oil, sesame paste, old vinegar, soy sauce and other ingredients on both sides. The kitchen couldn't tell Miss's taste, so I presented all the ingredients and asked her to help Adjust it.

"Well, put more chili oil, two tablespoons of sesame paste, and old vinegar."

Qingli ordered the malt according to her own taste, and finally saw that there was sugar next to it, so she also added a spoonful. After stirring evenly, she picked up a chopstick, which was stronger, chewy, and delicious than the modern Liangpi. Yes, she finished a large bowl in one go, and found it very satisfying.

"Nurse Yu, you did a good job. Tomorrow you will go to the snack shop at home and teach the cook in the shop. After you make it, ask the shopkeeper to set the price."

Qingli thought that Liangpi was very popular in modern times. She remembered that there was a school near her home. During the lunch break, most of the students were buying it.In summer, everyone feels unappetizing when eating hot dishes. The cold noodles are cool, hot and sour, and appetizing. They will definitely sell well. Contact Qishan Academy.

Qishan Academy is the largest and most famous academy in the Northland.The students come from several nearby cities, because their homes are far away, so they either rent houses nearby or choose to live in the academy. In this era, scholars are noble, and only those who have money can afford to study. People are basically from a well-to-do family, trying to make money from scholars, which is helpful to their own business.Don't underestimate the influence of these scholars. No matter what era, people like to follow suit. If their food sells well in Qishan Academy, those people will rush to buy it, and say, "The students in Qishan Academy like it, and the taste must be delicious." It's about the same."

"Miss, can this Liangpi make money?"
