Pastoral little master

Chapter 158
What Qiduo and the others discussed was about buying a barren mountain.

When she went to Luhuapo in the afternoon, she looked further afield and found that there was also a pond with water in the mountain depression not far from her lotus pond.

There are ditches on both sides of the main road, and the water in them is not dry all year round. According to Tan Debao, these waters are small tributaries of the Shixi River.

As long as the Shixi River keeps flowing, the water in these small ditches will not dry up.

In this way, if he was cultivating crops in the barren hills, he would not have to worry about irrigation. Moreover, he still had spiritual spring water, which would come in handy at any time.

This deepened Qiduo's determination to buy the barren mountain.

But Tan Dejin showed hesitation on his face, and said, "Duo, if we want to buy it, we might as well just buy some fertile land and cultivate it. Although the price is higher, it saves a lot of trouble. I don't know if these barren hills can grow crops." Come."

Mrs. Xu also favored Tan Dejin's idea, and said, "Yes, Duo, your father is right. Reclaiming barren hills takes time and effort."

Qiduo shook her head and said, "Father, mother, good land is not only expensive, but also you can't buy it if you want it, it depends on the opportunity. Sometimes even if there is a field to buy, it may not be near our house. It is also inconvenient to manage.

Luhuapo is not close to our home and is remote. No matter what is planted in it in the future, it must be supervised and managed, otherwise there is no peace of mind.If we buy the barren hills and gather them together, it will be very convenient for both work and management, and it will save time and effort.

I've seen it. Although the Luhuapo area is completely deserted, it's not a barren soil. I want to plant soybeans, peanuts, red beans, mung beans, sesame and other crops first.They are not only the raw materials our family needs, but they can also fertilize the soil. After being planted in one season, rapeseed, cotton and wheat can be grown in the next season. In this way, it does not take too much energy.

If we can buy all of that piece of land, when the crops are harvested and the benefits are good, we can then surround a large courtyard wall, build roads and houses inside, and build a large manor.

Taking another ten thousand steps back, if the crops grown there are really not very good, we can still plant trees.When the tree grows up, it can still be sold for money after being cut down.

Anyway, no matter what, we will not lose money.Also, the tax on barren hills is much lower, which saves a lot of money. "

Tan Dejin and Xu fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it, I felt that what Qiduo said made sense, they were all gathered together for easy management, and the good fields were not all cultivated after the wasteland was reclaimed.

"Duo, how about this, let's find time tomorrow to ask the price of that barren mountain, if the price is right, we will consider buying the barren mountain, how about it?" Xu said.

"Yeah, yes, but I may not be free tomorrow, so how about it, father and mother, you and fourth uncle will go to inquire first, and we will talk about it when we come back at night." Qi Duo said.

"Why are you not free tomorrow, where are you going?" Xu asked.

"Mother, the Food City will open tomorrow, of course I have to stay all day." Qi Duo responded with a smile.

"Gourmet City?" Xu asked suspiciously.

Qiduo and Xu Youxuan partnered to open a food city and did not tell their parents. They were worried that they would block it and he would have to waste his time talking. Anyway, he didn't need to spend money, but he could sell some ingredients.

But now that Mrs. Xu has asked, Qiduo can no longer hide it, so she will tell the truth immediately.

When she heard that it was the Spring Breeze Building, Xu's face pulled, her lips were tightly pressed, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Tan Dejin hurriedly said to Qiduo, "Duo, you, you know..."

Upon hearing his words, Qiduo had a headache.

When she was about to refute, Mrs. Xu spoke first and stopped Tan Dejin, "Dejin, don't criticize Luoduo."

Then he turned his gaze to Qiduo, "Duo, you are an independent person, you can do whatever you want, mother will not stop you. Just tell your parents when you have any plans next time, so that we can know ,do you know?"

Qiduo scratched her hair and smiled, "I know, mother, I didn't say anything, just because I was worried that you would disagree. Now that I have what you say, mother, I can rest assured. What will happen in the future? I will definitely discuss it with my parents first.”

"Well, good." Xu smiled gently, stroking her hair.

"Good boy." Liuju imitated Xu's tone, and at the same time patted Qiduo's head, laughing and joking.

"Second Sister, you're laughing at me again." Qiduo smiled and stroked Liuju's hair in turn.

The two sisters laughed.

"Cough!" Tan Dejin suddenly cleared his throat, looking hesitant to speak.

"De Jin, what's the matter with you? Just say what you want to say, it's all from your own family, so there's nothing else to hide." Xu looked up at him, annoyed softly.

The three Qiduo sisters also turned their eyes to the father to see what he wanted to say.

Facing the scorching eyes of his wife and daughter, Tan Dejin was inexplicably guilty, gritted his teeth, and said, "Mingxiu, Duo, I was thinking, since we want to buy barren hills, why not... why not buy the fifty acres in grandma's hands first?" Come here, and save them from worrying."

"No." Qi Duo refused without thinking.

What a bad idea.

Hulin Town is so far away from here, it's inconvenient at all, the reason why you want to buy the barren hills is not just for convenience and trouble, and the place is so big.

And Mrs. Zhao's character, if you take the initiative to come to buy the [-]-acre garbage dump, it's no wonder she doesn't cheat you to death.

Really asking for trouble.

"Duo, why not?" Tan Dejin asked puzzled.

He wanted to help Mr. Tan and Mrs. Zhao out of their troubles, and to show his filial piety.

Qiduo rolled her eyes helplessly, is dad really stupid or fake stupid? How could he have such an idea?

She glared at her father and asked back, "Father, why don't you say it's not possible?"

Tan Dejin remained silent.

Qiduo said, "Father, let me ask you, what will you do if grandma bids five taels and one mu?"

"No, your grandma won't pay such a high price. If so, we don't want it." Tan Dejin said with certainty.

Qiduo pursed her lips, "No? Wouldn't that offend their elders again, and they really came here to find trouble. Father, I know you want to help grandpa and grandma, but that's not how you do it.

For one thing, grandma didn't mention this matter in front of you, how do you know they can't handle it well?Your thinking is most likely superfluous.

Secondly, the land in Hulin Town is not suitable for our family to buy at present, what should we buy it for?Although we have a little money, the money is nothing for the next thing to do, and we don't know if it is enough to spend. "

Mrs. Xu also squinted at Tan Dejin, and frowned, "Dejin, how could you have such a stupid idea, you are not as good as a child. Listen carefully to what Duo said, and don't cause those troubles."

Tan Dejin sighed lightly, although he wanted to help Mr. Tan and his wife very much, but what Qiduo said was so reasonable that he had to listen.

That's all, I'll try to help them when my parents really have difficulties to speak up.

He dismissed the idea for now.

Next, Qiduo talked to her parents about selling lotus root.

She felt that relying on a few restaurants and her father to bring Liuju to sell lotus root in the county would not be able to sell the lotus root quickly, so she had to come up with some other way to do it.

The number of people in the county is limited, and the lotus root is not the price of cabbage. People may not be willing to buy and eat it every day. There are still many people who don’t know the existence of lotus root. How to let everyone know that they have lotus root and how to sell it to various towns? ?
Qiduo frowned and thought.

"There are a lot of people in our village. If the relatives in every household know that we have lotus roots, maybe they will come to buy them too." Erxia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said softly.

relatives!
"Ah, yes." After chewing Erxia's words, Qiduo suddenly patted down the table and said happily.

"What's the matter, you child, I'm going to scare my mother." Mrs. Xu gave Qiduo a light look, and asked, holding her hand.

"Mother, what Elder Sister said reminded me that we can mobilize people in the village to help sell lotus root." Qi Duo said with a smile.

Tan Dejin became interested, and hurriedly said, "But how to activate it, people don't want to do things that are not beneficial."

"Well, of course there are benefits. It's like digging lotus roots. You can sell a catty of lotus root for two Wen, or three Wen. There are dozens of families in our village, and there may be relatives in ten miles and eight towns. It's not the best time yet. When busy, there are idlers in every family and there is money to be made, I believe everyone will not refuse." Qi Duo expressed her thoughts.

It's like wholesale, the people in the village are the retailers, and they go from village to household to sell.Although my family made less money, I saved a lot of energy.

Xu was right, "This method is good, you can try it, but I am worried that people will sell lotus root, and no one is willing to dig lotus root. After all, digging lotus root is much harder, so what should I do? "

"It's okay, mother, I've already thought about it. If we really plan to do this, we will agree that the people who dig the lotus root in our house will sell the lotus root first. In this way, if we want to sell the lotus root, someone at home must help Dig the lotus root. In this way, digging the lotus root and selling the lotus root is the right thing to do, otherwise, depending on just a few of us, we don't know when it will be sold." Qi Duo replied.

"Success, if you have this constraint, you don't have to worry about other things. You still have a quick brain, but your eldest sister can think of all these things at once." Xu boasted with a smile.

Qiduo smiled embarrassedly.

But this is only her preliminary consideration, it is not mature yet, let's talk about it later, first fight the opening of the food city tomorrow.

The family talked for a while, then washed and rested.

However, Tan Dejin rested in the inverted house where the lotus root was placed, just in case.

The next day, Qiduo got up early and put on men's clothes again.

However, this time the clothes are brand new, she bought them specially, since the Food City opened, she can't dress poorly anymore, she has to dress decently.

Tan Dejin still took Liuju to sell lotus root, while Qiduo stayed in the Food City.

At the right time, after the firecrackers were set off, the food city officially opened.

Food City focuses on hot pot.

In Tonglin County, hot pot is a rare item on the tables of rich people. It is not called hot pot, but hot pot, which burns silver charcoal.

Qiduo is determined to make hot pot a delicacy for the common people, so that everyone can afford it. The rich can cook more meat dishes, and the ordinary people can be vegetarian.

In addition to hot pot, there are also special snacks, dim sum and staple food to choose from, which is very rich.

Before the opening of the food city, Qi Duo suggested that Xu Youxuan should do some publicity in the county and surrounding towns. Looking at the crowds of people at the entrance of the food city, it seems that the effect of the publicity is good.

The food city has set up a front and back kitchen. The so-called front kitchen is an open kitchen in a corner on the left side of the main entrance of the food city, which is specially used to cook some special snacks, such as snails, with tempting The fragrance will attract more customers to Yingmen.

Qiduo is busy in the front kitchen.

Xu Youxuan walked over with a smile, and said to her, "Xiaoqi, you are not too busy right now. My grandfather and father are here. They want to see you."
