Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Normally she would not be willing to spend so much money on a bus ride. This was 12 copper coins, and she must have felt heartbroken.

"First go to the government office to get the contract, then go to the matchmaker to look at the shop. Today is the time when the county magistrate comes to the town to do business. If you go early, there will be fewer people. If you go late, you will have to wait a long time." Old Master Jiang arranged.

Everyone nodded and strode towards the government office in the town.

It was still early, and when everyone arrived at the service point, there were only three or four people in line.

Not long after, it was Mr. Jiang's turn. Under the guidance of the officers and soldiers, he led Jiang Xue into the hall. On the right side of the hall sat a clerk, and Mr. Jiang took out the contract he had prepared at home yesterday and handed it over.

The manager took the deed, looked at the contents, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "I see that this contract is for a mountain deed. This place is all bamboo forest, and you can't farm. Why did you buy it?" He shook his head. Although he felt a little confused, it was someone else's private matter, so he didn't ask too much, so he lowered his head and started to register.

After a while, the registration was completed, and the steward handed the contract to Jiang Xue: "I have registered it, a total of three hundred taels, after paying the money, you can take this contract to ask the adults to stamp it."

Old Master Jiang immediately handed over the banknote, thanked the steward, walked towards County Magistrate Wang who was reading a book in the middle, bowed, and handed the contract in his hand to the steward beside him.

After taking the contract handed over by the steward, County Magistrate Wang read the contents and asked curiously, "Who is Jiang Xue? What are you going to do by buying this mountain full of bamboo?"

"Sir, I am Jiang Xue. These bamboos are of great use to me!" Jiang Xue replied.

"You want to buy this piece of forest? You'd better think it over carefully. Once I stamp my seal on it, you can't regret it!" County Magistrate Wang looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise, wondering what she was going to do with the bamboo forest.

"Yes, sir, I'm sure!" Jiang Xue said firmly.

County Magistrate Wang nodded, picked up the seal and stamped it, then asked the steward to make a copy. After the copy was completed, the steward took the original contract and walked to Mr. Jiang below and handed the contract over. Mr. Jiang saluted and walked out the door with Jiang Xue.

"How is it? Have you bought it?" asked Jiang Chen.

Old Master Jiang nodded and took everyone to find a famous matchmaker in town.

"What would you like to buy, sir? A group of people just arrived yesterday. They are all strong and good at work!" When Mrs. Wang saw several guests coming in, she looked at them, walked up to the oldest one, and started to sell him something.

"We want to rent a shop, preferably with a small courtyard, and the location should be near the dock." Jiang Xue said from behind.

"By the dock? Let me see..." Mrs. Wang looked at the girl curiously, nodded, and went to flip through the book. After flipping through it for a while, she saw a tea shop that was not doing well and was in a hurry to transfer it.

"Girl, there is a tea shop with a second floor, a large yard, and a place to rest. It's not for rent, only for sale." Mrs. Wang shook her head, thinking that the girl would not buy it and prepared to look for another one.

Jiang Xue knew nothing about housing prices at that time and initially only planned to rent a shop.

Now that she was here, she wanted to ask about the price first. After all, buying was definitely better than renting. "How much silver would this shop you mentioned cost?"

Seeing that Jiang Xue was interested, Wang Po quoted a price: "This one offered eighty taels, and I saw that it was located at the dock, so I lowered the price and bought it for sixty taels. If you still think it is too expensive, you can negotiate with the seller and I can help you arrange it." After that, Wang Po pulled out another shop and introduced it: "There is another one here, which is not located at the dock, but in the downtown area.

The daughter of this family married and moved away, so they moved with her. Because they were in a hurry to sell the house, the price was very cheap, but there was no small yard. "

"Is this store selling it? What's the price?" Jiang Xue asked.

Mrs. Wang replied, "Yes, but this one is more expensive than the last one. The location and location are good. It also sells tea and has a second floor. But the price is not cheap. The seller offers seventy taels, which is the reserve price. If you think it's expensive, don't look at it."

"The other shops either don't have yards or are very small. Let me take you to have a look at the shops at the dock." As Mrs. Wang said this, she took Jiang Xue and others to the shops at the dock.

The owner is in the tea business and has everything in the shop.

Seeing that Jiang Xue was interested, he also wanted to sell. After discussion, the seller decided to give all the things in the house to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue nodded and agreed to buy it. After signing the contract and giving Wang Po some compensation, Wang Po prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, take me to see the one in the downtown area." Jiang Xue called out to Mrs. Wang who was about to leave. She was a little tempted. Mrs. Wang saw that Jiang Xue still needed more, so she quickly took Jiang Xue to see the next one.

"I don't want to do this business anymore. After you settle the bill, you can find another job!" The shopkeeper sat at the counter and said to the two waiters in front of him while using an abacus.

Jiang Diao felt a little disappointed. He didn't know how to tell his family, so he just nodded, took the silver and money handed to him by the shopkeeper, and prepared to pack up later.

"Second brother?" "Second brother?" "Diao'er?" The Jiang family members shouted in unison.

Hearing the sound coming from outside, Jiang Diao was stunned and didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a while, he walked out.

"Grandpa, grandma, eldest brother, third sister, why are you here?" Jiang Diao was very surprised.

Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Your third sister is looking after the shop, we will accompany her."

"Shop?" Jiang Diao was a little confused.

Old Master Jiang stopped talking and just nodded.

Jiang Diao, confused, hesitated for a moment and followed Jiang Xue's steps and walked in.

"Mr. Liu, this is the buyer. I'll bring him here to have a look." As soon as they entered the door, Mrs. Wang began to introduce.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at this group of people, who were obviously the waiter's family. He felt a little confused, but he still smiled politely and introduced the situation in the store.

After listening to the introduction for a while and looking around the shop, Jiang Xue became very interested and started chatting with Shopkeeper Chen.

"I can give you all the things, but the price cannot be any lower." When Shopkeeper Chen saw that Jiang Xue was interested in buying, he was also anxious to sell them, after all, he was leaving in a few days.

After talking for a long time and seeing that the seller was sincere, Jiang Xue paid the money readily and then went to the government with the shopkeeper to change the house deed.

Jiang Diao didn't come to his senses until he saw the shopkeeper and Jiang Xue leaving the government gate. He saw the house deed in his sister's hand and was a little confused. It felt like he was dreaming. This family was so poor that they had to drink porridge some time ago. How did they buy a shop in such a short time? He couldn't understand.

After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Wang Pozi saw that there was nothing else to do, so she handed over the keys to the two shops and said goodbye to Jiang Xue.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" Jiang Diao asked curiously. Grandpa Jiang laughed a few times and said, "I'll tell you when I get back."

"Little ancestor, now we have everything we need, what else do we need to do?" asked Jiang Chen.

Jiang Xue saw that she had bought everything and did the math. She found that she had spent 130 taels on the shop, 300 taels on the bamboo forest, 30 taels on the last purchase, and 20 taels on Jiang Chen, for a total of 480 taels.

There are a total of 585 taels, and now there are 105 taels left.

This money was spent so quickly! I don't know how Wang is selling her rice. If it is sold, it will definitely receive good reviews.

She couldn't just rely on Manager Wang, so she thought about buying some quilts and other daily necessities for the shop with the yard, so she said to Jiang Chen, "Master, let's go buy some quilts." After that, she took the Jiang family to Jiang's Cloth Shop.

Jiang Xue walked into Jiang's Cloth Shop again, ready to buy a quilt, but found that the girl sitting at the counter this time was not the same girl as last time. She asked curiously, "Where is the girl from last time?"

When the shopkeeper saw the customer asking about his young lady, he shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what's wrong with the young lady. She has had pimples on her face these past two days. She has seen several doctors but none of them could help her. She is now lying down and is going to go to Chuanzhou Prefecture for a checkup tomorrow."

"Facial pimples?" Could it be acne? Jiang Xue thought, this thing is not easy to treat. If it can't be cured, there will be acne marks on her face in the future. She wanted to say something just now, but it seemed that she forgot it. She couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried, and she was entangled for a long time.

Oh, I remembered it now. Jiang Xue raised her hand and patted her head.

"Little ancestor, why are you taking pictures of yourself?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Jiang Xue didn't have time to answer her grandmother, and quickly said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, where is Miss Jiang now? I have something urgent to ask her."

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "The young lady said she didn't want to see anyone. This..." He was a little embarrassed.

"Take me there, I can cure Miss Jiang's illness." Jiang Xue continued. Seeing that the other party said he could cure the lady's illness, he hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

"Grandpa, I've taken care of the quilt. You take my older brothers to the shop at the dock, and grandma will come with me." Jiang Xue continued.
