The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 128 Not bad
"...Well." Shen Sisi responded, for the convenience of watering, Zhong Gensheng asked the two of them to help him to block the outlets on both sides after the water was poured last time, and now it can be done completely. After it is opened, the water in the pond will be at the same level as the river after passing through the ditch...

Of course, if the water level in the river is too shallow, they can seal one side to prevent the water from the pond from flowing back into the river.

This canal is really well dug.

Zhong Gensheng smiled and left. Digging on both sides would take more than an hour. Now that it is dark, we can do it quickly.Before he left, he said, "Tu Niu, although it's past early spring, it's still quite cold, go wash and change into dry clothes, don't freeze..."

It would be a crime if a child was frozen.

Shen Sisi hurriedly responded, and then went back to the front yard, thinking that after the water is filled, once the water in the pond settles, the fish can be put in to raise them.

She hurried into the house to fetch water, took a shower, washed her hair again, then changed her clothes and came out again.

Because we need to supply Fumanlou's stewed meat and stewed dried meat, our family has to kill three pigs every day, and we are too busy every day...

The kitchen was burning almost all afternoon, and the family had to buy firewood frequently. The villagers are now used to selling too much firewood to the Zhong family, and the Zhong family basically took it all.

Stewed meat, stewed meat...it takes twelve pots to cook. I thought this kitchen with four pots and four chimneys would be enough, but in the end, I was still too busy...

Shen Sisi sighed, but at that time she didn't have much money, and she had to build houses and furniture to pay wages, it was really not enough, so let's use it first, and wait until later when the wasteland is built a workshop , she thought about how to put the stewed meat business over there...

It would be nice to build a huge kitchen over there by then.

The family is also busy. Zhong Gensheng collects the pigs and has to take care of the family. He is even busier. When he seldom has a home, it is not that Shen Sisi has never thought about asking someone to help, but now...it is still not possible.

Finding villagers to work, which can indeed reduce the burden, but it may cause trouble. Which one in the village is not jealous of the Zhong family's business? !
She pondered over why she might as well buy some servant girls or something, but...it's too eye-catching in this village, and she doesn't have anything to protect them at home now, so she still has to bear with it.

Thinking about it, Shen Sisi rested his mind, let's get tired when he gets tired, and ask for peace of mind.

What's more, Dabao He Axiu and the others were extremely satisfied in their busy hearts, and never complained of suffering.

No matter how busy you are, it is much easier than farming in the past. Although you are busy all day long, at least the harvest is good. It's only [-]%... They still can't get enough to eat, how can they live a rich life like they are now, even if they are busy, they are satisfied and happy in their hearts.

When Zhong Gensheng came back, he was very happy. Although he had splashed a lot of mud on his body, he said with a smile: "The water level of the river is still quite high this year. Now that the ditches have been opened, the water level in the pond has also risen. I guess, There will be a lot of small fish swimming along the ditch to our pond..."

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "This is a good thing, and it saves us the money to buy fish fry..." However, after the fish fry are released, a fishing net will be blocked at the mouth of the ditch to prevent them from swimming into the river.

"In the evening, I asked you Uncle Niu and Uncle Liu to come over for dinner. I have been busy for more than an hour. I said I would pay them, but they refused to ask for it. So, prepare a few more dishes at night, and ask them to bring some back to eat. ..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile.

Shen Sisi nodded and said: "Cheng..."

Now she cooks the dinner at home. For lunch, sometimes He Axiu cooks, sometimes Niu Xiaohua cooks, and sometimes Shen Sisi also cooks, but it depends on whether she is free. When she was lazy, she would be lazy at lunch, but she would never be lazy at dinner, unless she had something to do.

Zhong Gensheng cleaned up and helped the kitchen to braise the meat. After all, there are really many things to do now, and the smell is wafting. After a while, many villagers came to buy pig offal. The catties of pig offal go back to drink, and the Zhong family will send two pieces of dried marinated, with some dipping sauce, the taste is quite delicious...

So many villagers are willing to buy this to eat, at least it is more cost-effective than buying meat. It costs nearly [-] yuan to buy a catty of meat at Butcher Zheng.

The Zhong family was busy, and when it was almost evening, Li Zheng searched for it, walked in with a smile on his face, and said, "Is the root there?!"

Zhong Gensheng heard his voice, hurriedly came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Here..."

"Are you busy in the kitchen?!" Li Zheng smiled and said, "I have something nice to tell you..."

"What's the matter?!" Zhong Gensheng asked him with a smile, and was very polite to him, saying: "Come, come, sit in the main room, I'll make some tea..."

"Cheng..." Lizheng was not polite, and went to sit in the main room.Zhong Gensheng went to make a pot of tea, and brought out some salted peanuts fried by Shen Sisi. This stuff is excellent for drinking tea and wine.

"What a good thing?!" Zhong Gensheng said with a smile, "I'll trouble you to make a trip..."

"Of course it's a good thing," Li Zheng said with a smile, "Didn't you say you were looking for someone to sell your old house last time?!"

Zhong Gensheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, we don't live in that old house now, and it's still dusty, so I thought about selling it, but everyone in the village has a place to live, even if they want to buy it I’m only going to buy land and build my own house, so I don’t have much hope, what? Does anyone want to buy it now?!”

Li Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, but I'm not from this village. I never expected that people from this village would buy your dilapidated house. After all, it was lived in by people, and people are still taboo..."

He paused, then laughed again: "It's also a coincidence that I came across such an opportunity. The last time I went to the town to do business, I happened to meet an old friend. He said that there was a man who was looking for a place in the countryside where he could settle down. As for the house, I said that I want to buy a ready-made one that can be moved in, and I don’t care how old it is. I immediately thought of your house when I heard it. The general, who came to guard our border town, seemed impatient to live in the city, so he found our town and asked if there were any houses for sale. When he heard that there were houses in our village, he bought them without even looking. I can't make up my mind, so let me tell you first, the price he offered is quite high, a full 200 taels, I was shocked, they really want to live in the countryside Woolen cloth……"

Speaking of this, Li Zheng smiled and said: "This is a great thing, so let me ask you when to go through the formalities..."

Zhong Gensheng was stunned when he heard 200 taels, and he said in embarrassment: "Lizheng, you also know what our old house looks like, how can it be worth 200 taels?! That broken adobe house is full of nothing. Yes, I thought in my heart that even with the land, I can sell it for 20 taels at most and it will be over, this..."

He said in embarrassment: "He bought it without even looking at it. If it's not suitable and people are not satisfied, am I cheating people?! How can I accept 200 taels..."

Li Zheng smiled and said: "Don't refuse, the price of this house is not the price I offered, but the price he asked himself. He just thought that he had a ready-made house to live in. If he didn't bargain, how could you The reason for lowering the price again, this business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, you, just sell this house, such a good thing, there will be no second time..."

Zhong Gensheng is not a money-grubbing person at all, and now the family is not short of money, let alone earning such ignorant money, he said helplessly: "...you can sell it if you sell it, but I can't help it, why can't that person live in the city? , Buying a yard in the city is convenient, easy to live in, and clean, and 200 taels is enough, why do you want to buy a dirty house in the rural city?!"

He really doesn't understand.

Li Zheng smiled lightly and said: "That's not how people are. We people in the countryside dream of buying yards in the city to make a living. People in the city are tired of staying for a long time, and naturally yearn for our miserable life. Well, how about you, let me tell you something, people are in a hurry to buy a house..."

Zhong Gensheng said helplessly: "...Since he is not short of money, I am naturally willing to sell it, but it is best to let the other party take a look at my old house, so that he has a chance to repent, otherwise we asked for the money, isn't it? Are you cheating?!"

Li Zheng said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go and ask, see if he's willing to come and see, if he doesn't counter-offer, just don't mention it, let people buy it, that's right, if it's done, don't I forgot to give my old friend some hard-earned money for the introduction, he was originally a middleman, and it is customary to collect this money..."

Zhong Gensheng knew a little bit about this aspect now, so he said with a smile: "It must be, I know the severity..."

Not only to him, but also to Li Zheng, otherwise he would be so happy to run errands for you.

Li Zheng then left with a smile, Zhong Gensheng was not willing to let him go, he only let him stay for dinner, Li Zheng smiled and said: "There are relatives at home tonight, I can't eat your meal today, next time Well, I would also like to stay at your house for dinner, the dishes cooked by your native girl are excellent..."

Then he laughed.The main reason is that his sister came back to her mother's house, otherwise he would be quite happy to have dinner at Zhong's house.

Zhong Gensheng didn't force him, but asked him to bring back some stewed meat and stewed dried meat, and also gave him a lot of fruits and vegetables, as well as cooked peanuts, and said with a smile: "Go back and eat with wine..."

Li Zheng didn't refuse, he smiled and accepted, and went home with this.

Zhong Gensheng was very happy when he encountered such a good thing, but the money of the old house has increased tenfold, so he was quite puzzled, but it was not certain whether it could be sold, and besides, he didn't want to take the risk of being cheated. How ugly is it to spread a person's name? !
After thinking about it, he went to the kitchen, and told Shen Sisi about it, Shen Sisi smiled and said, "Let him take a look, if it's not a fool, who is willing to pay 200 taels?!"

"That's really..." Zhong Gensheng put it down after thinking about it, and said with a light smile, "You're still smart."

Shen Sisi thought to himself, if that person is really willing to pay 200 taels to buy this shabby house, he must be quite insane, but who knows, there are still a lot of incredible people and fools in this world, who knows Is the other party out of his mind?

The point is that she thinks that someone who can buy a house in the countryside must be quite mentally ill, especially since he doesn't farm and just wants to experience rural life.

During dinner, Zhong Gensheng was still drinking wine with Niu Laogen and Liu Tugen.

Liu Tugen said with a smile: "Now I have planned how to raise pigs, and I have a clear idea in my mind. From tomorrow onwards, I will be free, but I can do this right away. I feel a little worried when I think about it." Uneasy, but at the same time feel very at ease, after all, it is a livelihood, I am happy..."

"This is normal..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "Our Zhong family started out selling chestnuts. I was also worried about selling stewed pork back then, but the local girl said that the timid will die of starvation, and the bold will die of exhaustion." Yes, if you are always so timid, and your family will be poor for the rest of your life, don't even think about turning over..."
