A Handbook of Happiness for Small Farmers

Chapter 49 The House in the Northwest Corner
As for people, even if it is settled, the next thing to do is to go to see the land and house that Qin Keer is about to buy under the leadership of Hu Jiren.

Just as Qin Keer had thought before, the land that Hu Jiren helped to find was a piece of land in the northwest corner of Dongning Village.And Qin Ke'er's natal family, that is, the Qin family, is in the southeast corner of the village. There is a river between the two families, named Qinhe.Because the land in the south of the river is relatively fertile, the villagers in the south of the river generally look down on the people living in the north of the river.It is this relationship that makes the land on the north side of the river cheaper.

Qin Ke'er has some understanding of the land, but the theory is greater than the practice.But when she saw this piece of land that was mostly sandy, she finally understood why the land here was so cheap, one mu of land cost only one tael of silver.

"Miss Ke'er, take a look at this land first. You and our Miaoxiang are good friends, and the uncle can't lie to you. The price of this land is one tael. If you really buy it, the uncle can help you cut down the price. But We have to make things clear, if we grow rice on such a piece of land, it would be good to have an output of [-] catties a year. So you have to think about it!" The reason why the Huji people became Changcang The county's leading broker is not only because he can speak well, but also because he is a decent person and does not do business with no conscience.

Although Qin Ke'er said she wanted to be a landlord's wife, she was not very good at farming. As the saying goes, theory is better than practice.But after all, she is also a college student in the 21st century. She was still in the countryside when she was a child. Even if she has never eaten pork, she has always seen pigs running!Even relying on the experience accumulated over thousands of years, Qin Ke'er also believes that he can establish his own "foodie kingdom" on this sandy land.

"It's okay, Uncle Hu, let's go and see the house first!" In contrast, Qin Ke'er cared more about the house. It cannot be fixed in a day or two.She doesn't know how to build a house, and the anonymous person who just bought it probably can't either!
"Hey, good!" Hu Ji was not ambiguous, raised his whip, and ran towards the north end of the ground.

On the north side of the land, that is, near the foot of the mountain, there is an earthen house that looks fairly regular.When Qin Ke'er and his group approached, they realized that the earthen house was not a simple one, but two rows in front and back. From the looks of it, it really looks like a courtyard with an earthen structure.

Qin Ke'er walked back and forth, looked around, and found that the front and back rooms combined, there are four rooms, one on each side of the front room, and one on the left side of the back room.Between the two rooms in the front room is a corridor.A large row of kangs were set up in both houses, and the bad thing was that the stove was also in the room.In the middle of the two rooms in the back room is the decent kitchen. Two rural cauldrons are placed in the stove, and there is also a thick layer of dust at this time.

There is a large livestock pen on the east side of the yard. Although the area is not large, it is enough for cattle and horses.On the south side of the cattle pen is a firewood house made of mud and hay, with some broken firewood scattered in a mess.

On the west side of the yard is a row of pig pens, which looks rather big, but it is full of weeds, and there is no sign of a pig hair.
