Happy peasant girl

Chapter 259 Fruit Wine Jam (2)
"Girl, my elder brother can also weave a basket. Tomorrow I will ask for leave and let him come home!" another female worker said.

Then, some people said that there were people who knew how to work carpentry at home, and some who felled trees badly, and the noise in Nayuan's backyard suddenly became noisy.

Lin Qingxi asked Qiangwei to write down the names of these people, and then asked them to go home tomorrow and find their family members.

At the same time, she returned to her ancestral home and asked Linyuan Mountain and Lin Zhongguo to find someone to build a house on a large open space at the foot of Damei Mountain, and she had drawn the design of the house.

The next day, Lin Qingxi took the money, Haitong, and Hailan to the county government office in Fu'an County, found Mr. Jiang, and said that she wanted to buy the high mountains behind Dameishan, and asked Mr. Jiang to issue a land deed for her.

Coincidentally, Lu Zhiming also came back from handling the case outside, so the three of them went to the backyard of the county government office to drink tea and chat, and talk about buying mountains by the way.

"Xi'er, have you discussed this matter with your family? Your grandpa and they all agree?" Lu Zhiming asked.

"Master, Grandpa and Dad let me figure it out. They said that the money I earn is my own, and I can spend it as I like. They don't care. Master, how much money do these mountains cost?" Lin Qingxi asked .

"The mountains you mentioned are all deep mountains. Even woodcutters rarely go in to cut firewood. According to the laws of Chu State, the price of these unowned mountains is half that of good land. Master Jiang, those mountains are equivalent to How many acres of fertile land?" Lu Zhiming asked Master Jiang who was sitting beside him.

Mr. Jiang had a map of Fu'an County at hand. He looked at it carefully and said, "If it's just those few mountains, it should be 45 mu. If you add the hills next to it, it should be 50 mu, which is equivalent to good land. The price should be 25 taels of silver."

"Xi'er, you heard it too. This is not a small sum. Even if you and Xuan'er cooperate to open a shoe factory, restaurant and cloud clothing workshop, you will not be able to pay so much money at once." Everything must be within your means. Lu Zhiming didn't want to take too big a step in Linqingxi.

"Master, money is not a problem. Just as Mr. Jiang said, I will spend 25 taels of silver to buy these mountains and the surrounding hills. In addition, I will pay another 5 taels of silver, hoping to open up the Bihu and Liujing. The broken river of these mountains." Lin Qingxi pointed to a river that was not clearly marked on the map.

"Xi'er, where did you get so much money?" Lu Zhiming asked in surprise.

"Master, I didn't steal or rob. As for how I got it, please forgive me for not being able to say. In short, I earned all the money, so there will be no problem. I brought everything, and now I can contract it." Documents." Lin Qingxi said.

Then, Lin Qingxi gestured to Haitong, and Haitong took out Linqingxi's seal and thirty thousand taels of silver notes from his bosom, and put them all in front of Lu Zhiming and Master Jiang.

"Xi'er, you are..." Even Lu Zhiming, who is used to watching big scenes, was shocked by his apprentice for a moment.

"Master Jiang, I would like to trouble you to be a guarantor for me. Master, you need to get the land deed for me quickly. There are still many things in your apprentice's house." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"My lord, what do you mean?" Master Jiang was also a little dumbfounded.

"Let's do it for her!" Lu Zhiming didn't say much, but just looked at Linqingxi thoughtfully.

"Yes, my lord!" Master Jiang asked someone to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study on the spot, and then began to write the land deed to Linqingxi.

After the contract documents were written by both parties, Lu Zhiming asked Master Jiang to collect the [-] taels of silver bills, and then entrusted him with the work of opening up the Bihu and Duanhe, and hired more homeless refugees. Give them a chance to make money.

After returning from the county government office, Lin Qingxi went straight back to the old Lin's ancestral house. She told Qiangwei yesterday that all the people who came would be arranged in the yard of the ancestral house first, and Linyuan Mountain and Lin Zhongguo would help them to see it first. Take a look at their respective craft.

After Linqingxi entered the yard, he found a crowd of people, and the ground was already woven into baskets, bamboo baskets or wicker baskets, and there were several people. Linyuanshan and Linzhongguo were testing their respective skills.

"Grandpa, dad, how is it?" Lin Qingxi walked through the crowd and asked beside the two of them.

"Xi girl, some of them are better than your grandfather and father, hehe! You can use it with confidence. If you don't use it much, the rest of them will follow grandfather into the mountains to cut trees." Linyuan Shan laughed. said.

"Grandpa, you don't need to cut down too many trees, just enough to make wooden barrels. You may need more sturdy backpacks, and you need to build a few more rack carts. The fruits on the mountain are all ripe." Ok, so it's time to start working.

"Xi girl, what about the wages of these people?" Lin Zhongguo asked.

"Father, they are all the family members of the female workers in Nayuan. Those female workers were selected by Grandma and me. I believe their families are not too bad. In this way, first give them double the previous price. If they behave That's good, just add more money." After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Those who heard this in the yard felt that it was said by a little girl like Lin Qingxi. Not only did it not make people feel suspicious, but they felt that her natural tone made them a little flattered. Too much.

"Girl, do you own the deep mountains behind Damei Mountain and the mountains behind?" Ling Lan asked a little excitedly.

After Linqingxi returned to Xiyuan, he just told Jasmine and Ling Lan about buying several mountains, and Ling Lan was the first to show excitement.

"That's right, and I even named them Big Eye Mountain." Lin Qingxi also felt comfortable all over after finishing a major event.

"Girl, why is it called Big Eye Mountain?" Several people asked in puzzlement.

"Because the eyes are under the eyebrows, the mountain behind the Big Eyebrow Mountain is called the Big Eye Mountain." Lin Qingxi said as a matter of course.

"Girl, aren't the eyelashes under the eyebrows? I think it should be called Daxishan, which sounds grand." Ling Lan said with a smile.

"Okay, from now on, those mountains will be called Dajie Mountains, but they are not eyelashes, but victories of good news, which indicates that we will be able to overcome any difficulties in the future, because now we have such thick and towering mountains as our backing." As long as she thinks that the secret garden on the other side of the Dameishan cave is now her own, Lin Qingxi is extremely happy.

"Dajieshan, what a good name!" Several people said with a smile.

That night, Linyuan Mountain took a few selected workers to weave back baskets and bamboo baskets, and they made fifty or sixty in one night.

In order not to affect the rest of the villagers, Lin Zhongguo did not bring people to make the wooden barrels with lids that Linqingxi wanted at night, but took people to build pots and stoves in the temporarily fenced yard not far from the Xiyuan.
