Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

"There's no one in the store right now. I'll ask the waiter to keep an eye on it. Come on, I'll take you to find the man." Wang Jiaozhen left immediately, giving the waiter a few words and then left with Gu Yunxi and others.

"Sister Zhen, how dare I trouble you and affect your business," Gu Yunxi said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Mrs. Wang say: "Hey! What you said is that you don't treat me as a sister! Since you call me sister, your business is my business. Besides, now in the store There aren’t many people, so it won’t be in the way.”

Madam Wang is a cheerful person, and it would be bad if she tried to shirk her. Gu Yunxi thought about it and followed her.

After walking for about half a stick of incense, we arrived at the door of a small house. This was the middle-aged man's house.

"Is anyone at home? Uncle Quan, are you at home?" Madam Wang knocked on the door and shouted.

After a while, someone opened the door: "Ah, it's Jiaozhen! Why are you back?" The person who opened the door was Uncle Quan's wife Quan, who was a little surprised to see Wang Jiaozhen.

"Aunt Quan, I have a good friend who wants to add a few acres of land to his family. Uncle Quan happened to be the right one, so I led them here." Wang Jiaozhen said with a smile.

"Old man, Jiaozhen is here." As soon as Aunt Quan finished speaking, she saw Uncle Quan coming out of the house. She was a little surprised when she saw Wang Jiaozhen, but she was more interested in being affectionate.

After a few people reminisced about old times, Wang Jiaozhen explained her intention.

After hearing this, Uncle Quan patted his head and said, "Oh, what a coincidence. It's in Xipogou not far from your Xijiang Village. Only yesterday did someone come to sell their land."

"However, most of them are medium-sized fields, and the upper-class fields are only two acres."

Father Lu and Lu Jianchuan are familiar with Xipogou. It is right next to Xijiang Village. It takes less than half a stick of incense to walk from Xijiang Village to Xipogou Village. There are hundreds of households in Xijiang Village, while Xipogou has only a few dozen households. There are fewer people but more fields.

"I wonder what the price of this field is?" What Mr. Lu is most concerned about is the price. Only by asking the price first will he know whether he can afford it.

"Those two acres of top-grade farmland cost ten taels of silver per acre, and the seller refused to negotiate."

"The price of medium-sized fields is cheaper, about five or sixty-two acres, and you can still negotiate the price." Uncle Quan was honest and told the Lu family the seller's price truthfully.

This price is exactly what Father Lu expected.

"If you think the price is still acceptable, you can go see the fields first and then negotiate the price." Uncle Quan continued.

"I think it's okay, Dad, how about we go take a look now?" Gu Yunxi said.

Seeing that Lu Jianchuan said the same thing, Father Lu thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go see the fields now."

Uncle Quan exchanged a few words with Aunt Quan and left with the Lu family. When they all reached the fork in the road, Wang Jiaozhen said goodbye to a few people and rushed back to Shixiufang.

After Gu Yunxi thanked him again and again, they hired a carriage and headed out of the city, heading straight to Xipogou.

The terrain of Xipogou is similar to that of Xijiang Village. Uncle Quan pointed to the large, slightly flat field and said, "That's it. The medium field is about seven acres, and there is another ten acres."

The soil quality of this field is good, but looking at the fertile black soil, it is very suitable for growing many crops. However, this field is a bit far from the water source.

Father Lu was walking on the ridge of the field and looked at the field. He was quite satisfied, but it was a little far from the water source and he was a little hesitant.

Uncle Quan saw it and said: "This field is actually very good. The only drawback is that it is far away from the water source. The price is also slightly cheaper than another medium-sized field, only five taels of silver per acre."

"How about we go to another area and have a look?" Father Lu said.

The other piece was not far ahead, and the group reached it in a short time.

The other medium-sized field is quite good. It is close to the water source. There is no need to worry about irrigation in the future. However, looking at the soil in this field, it seems that it is not as good as the previous one.

Father Lu is more satisfied with the second field. The field is not fertile, but he can find ways to increase it. In comparison, the water source problem of the first field is more difficult to solve.

"This piece of land is about ten acres, and the price is five taels and a half silver per acre. If you are sure you want to buy it, I will discuss it with the seller, and we should be able to negotiate the price again." Uncle Quan said.

Father Lu couldn't make up his mind now. If ten acres of land cost five and a half taels of silver per acre, then it would cost fifty-five taels of silver, which is a lot of money.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi poked Lu Jianchuan. He had been standing silently, but now Gu Yunxi poked her and glanced at her. He seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "Dad, I think it's okay, this one is better."

After Lu Jianchuan made the decision, Uncle Quan was very quick and immediately led them to the seller's house. The seller was in Xipogou Village. The two parties negotiated the price and finally settled on five taels and three hundred yuan per acre.

There are ten acres in total, which is fifty-three taels of silver. Fortunately, Mr. He brought ten more taels with him in the morning, otherwise the money would not be enough.

"Brother Lu, do you want a white contract or a red contract?"

In this era, buying and selling land required a deed, which was divided into two types: white deed and red deed. The white deed, also called a civil deed, was signed privately by both parties and has not been verified by the government.

The red deed is verified by the government and a certain percentage of tax is paid. After the government handles the transfer procedures, the deed tail printed by the official typesetting is affixed to the white deed, and then stamped with the official seal.

"Dad, please ask for the red deed. Let's spend more money and be more secure." After hearing the man's explanation, Gu Yunxi decisively chose the red deed.

Father Lu nodded, and a group of people, including the seller, got on the carriage and went straight to the government office.

As expected, Uncle Quan was introduced by Sister Jiaozhen. He has been a middleman all his life. He is very familiar with government affairs and is also familiar with the people who handle them.

When signing the contract, Father Lu mentioned Rang Luo Yunxi's name, which shocked everyone else.

"Dad, this..." Gu Yunxi was also a little surprised. She rarely talked to her father-in-law on weekdays. This time she used her share of money to buy the land, and she never thought of buying the land in her name. She didn't expect that her father-in-law would do this. think.

"Girl Yunxi, listen to dad, you earned all this money, and it should be in your name." Dad Lu said.

Well, no matter whose name it is in, it will be farmed by the Lu family now. At worst, when I leave one day, the ownership will be transferred again.

Gu Yunxi thought about it and stopped shirk- ing. He picked up a pen and signed the three characters "Gu Yunxi" on the contract.

At this time, Gu Yunxi forgot that the original owner was illiterate. Father Lu did not notice all this, but Lu Jianchuan did, as if it was true.

The two parties signed the contract, gave it to Tian Yin, paid the tax, and immediately sealed the account with the official seal.

Father Lu looked at the red deed in his hand, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. The Lu family finally bought a field! No longer have to worry about the family having enough to eat!
