Farmer's happy event

Chapter 122
Cao Zhifu nodded, and said again: "Then this lake, we have a deal, it is 20 taels of silver and [-] Wen." He said, looking at the villagers, "I also told the elders in the village, The money from the sale will be used to buy a carriage for all of us to use when we go to the city, and we only charge one penny for a ride, which is enough to pay the coachman, fodder for the horses, and maintenance of the carriage.”

Although Caojiawanzi is quite close to the city, it would take a long time to walk across it with two feet.If it is a car, it is not worth the trouble, so most people walk with their feet.

If you bought a horse-drawn carriage, and it only cost one penny for a ride, and it was fast and comfortable, then it would be very cost-effective, and it would be regarded as a benefit to the village.

Several villagers nodded immediately after hearing what Cao Zhifu said.It turned out that the village chief was so thinking about the affairs of the village that he sold the money and did not share it with the elders in the village who were in charge.

"Or do you have any other ideas?" Cao Zhifu asked again.

Everyone looked at each other, and then said: "Okay, that's it, the village chief can do as he sees."

Cao Zhifu nodded and said, "Well, since everyone agrees, that's the way it is." He said, "Then everyone will go back with me and make a written statement."

Lianzi nodded at him, and followed the villagers to Cao Zhifu's house.

The two sides signed a written document and pressed each other's fingerprints, and then they broke up.

"That's fine too." Cao Zhifu took out another draft contract on the lake and handed it to Liu Jingren.

Liu Jingren was illiterate, so he handed over the contract to Lianzi.

Lianzi looked at it and said, "Okay, let's do it this way." Then he looked up at Cao Zhifu, "It's just that I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring so much money."

"It's okay, just send it when you are free, and I will go to do the paperwork with you at that time." Cao Zhifu said.

"Hey, okay, let's send it over tomorrow." Lianzi said.

Zuo Zuo didn't have any major matters recently, so it's better to get things done quickly while you have free time.

After both parties settled the matter, Liu Jingren took Lianzi and returned home.

Since Cao Wenguang didn't succeed in this matter, he was naturally terrified, and he had to scold Lianzi's family again.Seeing the fat duck he was about to get flew away again, his wife had no choice but to complain about Cao Wenguang, which made him even angrier. Ah, what a crime."

After Lianzi returned home, Yang said, "Are you back?"

"Yeah," Lianzi smiled, hurriedly walked to her side, smiled and unfolded the contract in her hand before her eyes.

Although Mrs. Yang is illiterate, she has seen a lot of things like contracts in the past few years, so she can recognize them naturally.

"Yo, it's done?" she asked in disbelief.

Lianzi closed her eyes and nodded.

"Heh, I've grown capable again." Yang said.

"Mom, you don't know about the danger, your daughter almost won't come back!" Lianzi said with a look of horror.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lianzi briefly told her what happened just now, only to hear Yang frowned, and said: "In the future, don't get meddled in such matters, our family is fine now, and you will be safe and sound." Come on, don't worry me."

"Well, I remember." Lianzi nodded and replied.

Having said that, you still have to continue to do what you should do. People can't keep moving forward, can they?

In any case, although it has gone through a lot of twists and turns, the lake can be regarded as being bought, and it can be regarded as a great joy.

That night, Lian Zi and Yang Shi worked a lot in the kitchen and prepared a large table of delicious food to celebrate this event.

It's summer now, so it's not suitable to throw fish fry, so Lianzi plans to wait until next spring to buy fry and put them in.In the past six months, we still need to build a house with a small courtyard by the lake.

After all, Caojiawanzi is not in Liujiazhuang, so who should go and watch it is another problem.

Lianzi thought about it, and felt that it would be most appropriate for Liu Ping'an and his wife to go there.

His husband and wife have been looking at the fish pond here for several years, and they are very familiar with the fish pond. It would be perfect for them to go there.As for the money, they have raised a lot in the past few years, and they will definitely increase it again after they get there.

As for the fish pond on the village, you can find suitable people to come and watch it.

The next day, Liu Jingren took the lotus seeds to pay the money, and went to the government with Cao Zhifu to handle the corresponding matters. The lake that was to be used as a fish pond officially belonged to his family.

Watching the setting sun in the afternoon cast a layer of golden light on the lake, Lianzi felt extremely comfortable.

I didn't pay much attention to this lake before. Everything started to change after Chunxing was rescued.It's really like that saying, if you do good deeds, there will always be good rewards.

This lake is big enough, and it is not a problem at all to produce a few thousand catties a year. I am afraid that it will be completely enough to supply "Fujulai" with fish in the future.

It's just that there isn't a single bit of land by the lake, so it would be even better if we don't plant mulberries and silkworms on the ground by the lake.

But this is not bad. Planting a few lotus roots at the bottom of the lake is also very helpful for fish farming.

After returning home, it was already dark, before Lianzi got out of the carriage, she saw Lizi running over and said to Liu Jingren, "Father, let's go to the fair tomorrow."

Lianzi thought about it, and it is true that tomorrow is another fair. I have been busy these days, so I forgot about it.

There was no brother in the family, so every time they wanted to go out, Liu Jingren would drive them in a carriage.Lianzi used to find it troublesome and wanted to learn to drive by herself, but Mrs. Yang refused to let her be a good girl, driving a carriage like a man.

Liu Jingren thought about it for a while, and since there is nothing serious about tomorrow, he agreed.

Lianzi knew that Lizi wanted to go to the shop to see how the rouge powder sold in the shop was doing.

Because it was nothing serious, Lianzi didn't follow this time, but helped Yang's make preserved fruits and snacks at home.

Chestnut came back at noon, so it can be seen that nothing was delayed.

"How is it?" Lianzi asked, but judging by her dejected look, it shouldn't be much better.

Lizi sighed, and said, "Oh, don't mention it, only one box of rouge paste was sold, and the shopkeeper said it's not easy to sell."

"How much does it cost per box?" Lianzi asked.

"Fifteen Wen." Li Zi said.

It's only fifteen cents, the price is really not that high, let's not talk about the not-so-exquisite box, then, I'm afraid it's a problem with the item itself.

"Oh, forget it, no matter what, anyway, I tried my best, so let's do it." Lizi sighed again.

Lianzi smiled at her: "It's very difficult to make this thing, and we don't have any fine tools, so it's not bad to be able to make something like this."

"Yeah." Chestnut nodded absently.

Lianzi said again: "Don't you know how to make clothes? It's not bad if we make clothes again."

Hearing the words, Lizi's eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his forehead, and said, "Yes, I can make clothes." Then, he ran into the West Room in a hurry, and Lianzi only heard the sound of rummaging for things. , I saw Lizi find out all her usual items such as scissors, cloth ends, needles and threads.

Li Zi still has this temperament, whenever he thinks of something, he will definitely put it into action immediately.

Lianzi smiled, and went into the stove again, helping Yang to watch the dim sum that was about to come out of the pot.

In the evening, Lizi showed some of the pictures she had drawn and made a sample to her sisters at home.

Lianzi looked at it, nodded and said, "Not bad, we've made progress again."

Although Chestnut is not good at embroidery, she can still do general sewing and mending.What's rare is that she is quite talented in clothing design.

Now the clothes worn by Lianzi sisters are no longer ready-made clothes, but some suitable clothes bought in the town, and according to the design of Lianzi, they are made of millet and beans.Chun Xing's embroidery work is very good, and since she came, all the embroidery work has been entrusted to her.

Upon hearing Lianzi's compliment, Lizi said with satisfaction, "That's right."

She and Lianzi had been bickering since childhood, and it was quite difficult to get a compliment from her.

"No, this place has to be tightened a little more, so that it can feel swaying." Li Zi pointed at the waist of the clothes, shaking his head and said.

Saying that, he took away the clothes and changed them aside.

"Well, how about we go to the city to set up a shop again, the end of the year is the peak time for buying clothes and making clothes, if we can find a suitable shop, we can open it at that time, it is a good time. " Lianzi sat next to Lizi and said.

Hearing this, Lizi didn't stop what she was busy with, and said, "Well, it's pretty good, why don't we go look for it tomorrow."

This chestnut is always impatient.

Lianzi shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Tomorrow, the family will be making preserved fruit, and shopkeeper Zhang has started urging the goods again."

She thought about it again: "How about the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is just going to deliver the goods, we can go and have a look together."

"Well, okay." Li Zi said, "By the way, shopkeeper Zhang helped to find our pastry shop last time, right?" Li Zi asked.

Lianzi nodded: "That's right, what's the matter?"

Although the store was not found thanks to Zhang's shopkeeper, no matter how you say it, if it wasn't for him, I'm afraid they wouldn't have found it either.Therefore, Lianzi also took note of this affection.

"Do you want shopkeeper Zhang to find another shop?" Lianzi asked.

Lizi thought for a while and said, "How can I just trouble others?"

"Why don't we ask the day after tomorrow, shopkeeper Zhang is a bit scheming, but he is still a good person," Lianzi said.

Cooperating with shopkeeper Zhang for so many years has brought him a considerable profit, so it is not difficult to ask him something.

"No," Li Zi said, "I want to send some sets of clothes to Zhang's wife and a few aunts."
