Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 136 News from Inquiry

Seeing her mother wandering around, Gu Fei asked, "What, is there no place to cook?"

Mrs. Chen sighed, "The stove is not enough. I think this is not a long-term solution. Two days a day is fine. We share a kitchen and a yard. Everyone will inevitably touch their teeth with their tongues. I think there will be trouble sooner or later. Come on with something."

Gu Fei nodded, "Mom, don't worry, let dad ask Liu Zhuangtou tomorrow to see if there is any house for rent around here. Let's rent a house to live in first."

Gu Zhang said from the side: "Don't wait until tomorrow. I'll go and ask now. I won't have anything to eat anyway."

 Gu Fei thought for a moment and said, "Dad, by the way, please ask if there is any land to buy around here."

Gu Zhang nodded, "Okay, I'll ask you all."

Gu Fei picked up a piece of bacon. A bag of brown sugar should come out, "Dad, take these."

Ms. Chen smiled and said, "Xiao Fei has made great progress."

Gu Zhang left with the bacon and brown sugar.

Ms. Chen simply asked Gu Fei to bring out some dumplings, and after a while, she went to the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, there are still not many stoves after going there.

Auntie and Aunt Liu have already left, Shanzi Ma is using one, Yu is using the other, and Qian is still there not knowing what to do.

 Chen had no choice but to turn around again.

 When we passed by again, there was finally no one in the kitchen.

As soon as Mrs. Chen was about to get water to cook dumplings, she saw that some of the firewood piled in the kitchen had been used up, and the water tank that Erlang Sanlang had been filled with had also drained a lot.

Ms. Chen then sent Li Chunhua to ask Gu Qing and others to go outside to collect some firewood.

It took a long time to cook the dumplings.

By the time Gu Zhang came back, dinner was about to begin.

 One person brought a bowl of dumplings and ate them in the main hall.

After eating the dumplings, when the old lady entered the room, Lian'er and Lanzhi went to wash the dishes. Then Gu Zhang called the family together and whispered: "I just asked Liu Zhuangtou about the places around Ping'an City. The land is all paddy fields, and now it costs eight taels of silver per acre.”

Chen frowned, "Is it so expensive?"

 In my hometown, the best dry land was only two or three taels of silver per acre, and the paddy fields were at most five taels.

Gu Zhang shook his head, "You think it's expensive, so you can't buy it."

“Most of the farms on the outskirts of the city are owned by officials and wealthy businessmen. There are few takeouts. The occasional ones that are for sale are also very popular. As soon as the news gets out, they will be sold quickly.”

“We want to buy land, but we can only buy it far away.”

Gu Fei shook his head, "It's far away and it's inconvenient to enter the city."

 She plans to grow peppers and sell them in the city. Ping An City has a population of close to one million and has a strong consumption power.

Chili peppers must not be sold too cheap when they first come out. People only want food and clothing. It is estimated that only those rich people who pursue the ultimate taste of food will be willing to buy them.

It’s too far from the city, so it’s not convenient to buy or sell things.

Gu Zhang nodded, "That's what I said."

"However, Liu Zhuangtou revealed a piece of information to me, saying that there is a village not far from here, with about two hundred acres of land and a pond of several acres. It belongs to an official who committed a crime. The family plans to sell the money to support the government. The news was just released today, but the land is not sold piecemeal. If you want to buy it, you can buy it together. The asking price is two thousand taels of silver. "

 Chen opened her mouth wide, "How much?"

 Gu Zhang said again, "Two thousand taels!"

Gu Fei twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Dad, it's almost the same if it's missing a zero."

After spending all the money in her hand, she still had almost two hundred and fifty taels of silver left.

 It is enough to buy more than 20 acres of land.

 Always keep some money on hand for turnover.
