The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 110
Qing Shu said without thinking: "Go and have a look."

Gu Qiang arranged a carriage, leaving half of the men guarding the inn, and brought the other half of the men to surround Qingshu's carriage, and followed Cheng Yaren out of town.The farm that Bai Qingfeng wanted to sell was located between Xiaogujia Village and Fengjia Village, probably in the northeast of the town.

Out of the town, after walking for more than an hour, Cheng Yaren, in his 30s, who was sitting on the cart with Gu Qiang, pointed to the cropland in front of him, "This is a medium-sized field of 300 mu, half of which has been planted. Baogu, half of the sorghum is planted, and it can be harvested after another ten days and half a month. It’s not that I want to say good things for Master Bai. With a radius of hundreds of miles, the Baogu on this village of Master Bai is the most productive in Kangxi Town , as high as one stone and four buckets per mu." (one stone = 30 catties, one bucket = [-] catties)
Qingshu's carriage followed behind the cart.Qing Shu opened the curtain, looked at the corn stalks that had lost their green color standing upright by the roadside, and the corn sticks wrapped in leather that could only be regarded as below average, thinking thoughtfully.The highest yield per mu is only about [-] jin, so there is a lot of room for increasing production.Her eyes flashed, as if she hadn't removed the seedlings, it was too dense.If the plants are too dense, it is certain that the cob knots will not be large.She is going to get off the car later, so go in and make sure.

The carriage walked slowly, and soon crossed the Baogu field and arrived at the head of the sorghum field.The spikes of sorghum have basically matured, and they are as red as the sun, which is very gratifying.

Not long after, the sorghum field was left behind by them, and a large green vegetable field was in front of them, and the courtyard walls and houses of the house came into view.Cheng Yaren introduced to Gu Qiang again: "This is a [-]-acre high-quality field. The wheat planted in the last crop, after harvesting, other crops cannot be picked up, and all vegetables are planted. These vegetables are sold. A lot of money was set."

Qingshu murmured in her heart: Why don't you say that you can't sell it, so many vegetables can only rot in the field, but you will lose a lot of money.

The house was right in front of us, while Cheng Yaren boasted how well the houses inside were built, and at the same time said from time to time that the chickens on the village can lay eggs, how fat the pigs are, and how strong the cattle are, and finally got out of the car , led them into the gate of the Zhuangzi, and pointed to the north, "North of the house, there are ten acres of low-grade fields, and beans are planted in it. Now only six acres of soybeans have not been harvested, and the red beans and flower kidney beans have been harvested." put it in Zhuangzi's barn."

Walking into the courtyard, one can quickly see that the entire courtyard has been divided into two.The right side, which is the west half of the courtyard, is divided into four small courtyards. The houses inside are all green brick houses, obviously where the masters lived when they came.

In the east half of the courtyard, the front half is a flat and rolled hard ground, and a neat row of houses that don't seem to be inhabited by people.Cheng Yaren said that the flat land was used to dry grain, and the row of houses was warehouses.Next, there is a small yard with five rooms, which is said to be a kitchen and a warehouse for storing rice and vegetables needed for daily use.Behind this, there is another courtyard with two low rows of adobe houses, where servants and long-term workers live.

After looking around, they quickly came out of the house and wanted to go back the same way.Qingshu asked Xiaojuan to send a message to Gu Qiang.

Gu Qiang said that when they went back, they would take a detour and look at these places again.Cheng Yaren agreed to take them around the distance and return to the town from the other side of the crops.

Walking between the sorghum field and the Baogu field, Gu Qiang said he wanted to get out of the car to have a look, so he and Cheng Yaren walked into the field while pulling the stalks of the Baogu.

At this time, Zhang Da and Wu Xiaoshan opened the way for Qingshu, and led Xiaojuan into the Baogu field first, looked at the distance between the plants, and tried to hold the Baogu stick, finally squatted down under Xiaojuan's suspicious sight, I grabbed a handful of soil and looked at it, and finally asked Xiaojuan to wrap a handful of soil.She turned around and pointed to the sorghum field next to her.

Zhang Da and Wu Xiaoshan opened the way for her again, pulled aside the straw, and protected Qing Shu into the sorghum field.Because they are afraid of dropping the rice from the sorghum ears, they try to be careful in their movements.

Qing Shu raised his head and stared at the sorghum ears above his head for a moment, "Do you have a knife? Cut off an ear."

Zhang Da glanced at the stunned Wu Xiaoshan, turned his face away, unscrewed a sorghum ear with his bare hands, and handed it to Xiaojuan.

Qingshu glanced at Xiaojuan's hands, where the sorghum tassels were broken off, and the juice was still oozing, and shook her head, "It's ok, let's go out!"

A while after Qingshu returned to the car, Gu Qiangcai and Cheng Yaren got out of the Baogu field.

Back at the Shiji Inn in the town, Qingshu greeted Gu Qiang, and asked a few men who had been farming on the farm in the capital today, "Then Zhuangzi, what do you think?"

Gu Qiang said, "Miss, I've asked someone about it, and the annual grain output of this Baijia farm is ranked first among the surrounding areas."

Several other people also nodded, saying that the crops on this farm are indeed well grown, not bad from what they planted before.

Seeing what they all said, Qing Shu felt that she could buy it.Besides, the opportunity is rare, and it is so easy to come across a farm.If they missed this time, if they want to buy it themselves in the future, it must be a small piece of land in the east and a small piece in the west, which cannot be connected into a piece.Not connected into pieces, it is not easy to manage. "Let's discuss the price again. If it is reduced by two or three hundred taels of silver, I will buy it. What do you think?"

Gu Qiang said, "This old slave thinks it's okay. Firstly, we are new here and need to establish some contacts; secondly, Master Bai has a good reputation in the town. Since we know that he is in a hurry to spend money, it is not good to press too much. Two thousand For 300 taels, we won't suffer too much, and we will probably be able to make friends with Master Bai."

Qing Shu finally made a decision, "That's it. You talk to Cheng Yaren and ask Master Bai for his opinion. If you agree, we'll buy it. If you don't agree, we'll let it go." Of course. It's not easy, because the price they give is not low.

After receiving the words from Cheng Ya's person, Bai Qingfeng wanted to agree immediately, but he held back and decided to delay talking for a day, so as not to make people think that he was too obsessed.He was actually very happy, since their town is not big, there are very few people who can really take over his 83-acre farm at once, especially when he charged a high price.

Moreover, the other party was also happy about the price. He offered 500 taels, and the other party directly returned 300 taels.Whether he earns or not, he has been in business all his life, how can he not know.He was secretly happy to send Cheng Yaren away when Shi Wanjin, the owner of Shiji Inn, came to look for him.

Bai Qingfeng and Shi Wanjin had a lifelong friendship, and the two families traveled frequently.The two sat down as brothers and chatted for a while, Shi Wanjin brought the topic to the Bai family farm that was about to be sold.

"Brother, is your village really going to be sold?" Gu Wanjin stroked his beard and asked.

"Oh, I have to sell the money in a hurry." Bai Qingfeng replied.

"Cheng Yaren went to my brother's inn today, probably to run errands for my brother?"

"Oh? What is he doing at your inn?" After asking, he patted his forehead, "Look at my memory, the buyer I'm talking about is the ancient mansion living in your inn."
