Farmhouse strong man

Yuan Liuzhen had just finished painting a painting, and when he looked up, he found that Tao Fu had already stood in front of him at some point.He was so absorbed in painting just now that he didn't notice when Tao Fu came over at all.Tao Fu looked down at his painting, saw him stop writing, and said with a smile: "The painting is very beautiful."

Tao Fu had never read a book, nor did he know calligraphy and painting, but after seeing Yuan Liuzhen's paintings, he felt that Yuan Liuzhen's paintings were very good.

"Ah? Random drawing." Yuan Liuzhen said modestly: "In the future, Fu wants to learn, I can teach you."

"Okay." Tao Fu didn't refuse. However, since he was a child, he wanted to join the army and fight like his father, wielding knives and guns. I don't know if he can learn to brush and ink?

Thinking of this, Tao Fu couldn't help smiling, "Let's go out for dinner."

"Ah."

After the two had eaten, they began to practice swords as usual. Yuan Liuzhen only had one iron sword, and the two of them took turns to use it.

Before going to bed, Tao Fu will prepare food for A’Ban. A’Ban flew to Tao Fu’s thatched hut the night before. After Tao Fu fed him once, Ah’Ban became very close to Tao Fu, probably because the food Tao Fu fed was so delicious. Alright.

Early in the morning, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu got up together at about the same time. After cleaning, they started busy making spicy strips and crispy rice.

It was still Tao Fu who went to Liyao Village to borrow an ox cart. While borrowing an ox cart, Tao Fu brought good news, saying that Li Niang helped find a villager who wanted to sell their yard.

"Really?" Yuan Liuzhen asked happily: "How much money do I need? What kind of yard?"

"It's the courtyard of the quadrangle you mentioned. The family moved to the county after they got rich. Originally, the courtyard was not for sale, and I don't think anyone bought it. When I returned the ox cart last night, the family came back to visit relatives in the village. , Hearing what Li Niang said about it, she said it can be sold. It is much more expensive than the yard in Ligou Village, because the yard is large and there are many usable furniture in it, and it costs 30 taels of silver."

Yuan Liuzhen felt that 30 taels of silver was many times cheaper than modern housing prices, and it was acceptable.It is estimated that I will have to earn more than half a month or a month to buy a yard.

"Then should we go and see the courtyard now?" Yuan Liuzhen asked.

"Well, I came here to tell you about this. Put the things in the bullock cart. Let's look at the yard first. We will go to Litang Town in a while. Let's go from the village."

"Row."

The two loaded two large bamboo baskets with spicy sticks and crispy rice into the cart, and drove the ox cart towards the village.

The yard they were going to was in the outer yard at the east end of the village. After driving the ox cart for a while, the two of them were already close to that yard.

There were a lot of people crowded outside the courtyard, and when Li Niang saw the two people driving an ox cart, she hurriedly greeted them, "Ah Fu, here, here!"

After the bullock cart stopped, the two got off the bullock cart. Yuan Liuzhen could see the courtyard through the open gate through the crowd.

There is a small garden and a pavilion in the yard. There are wells and stone mills nearby. The yard is very large, surrounded by houses, and there are corridors connecting the houses on all sides. Weeds, the yard must be very pretty.

Yuan Liuzhen fell in love with this courtyard immediately.

Li Niang and a well-dressed old gentleman came over, and Li Niang introduced Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen, "Ah Fu, Zhenzhen, this is Uncle Tian."

Uncle Tian looked at Yuan Liuzhen and then at Tao Fu and said with a smile: "I heard from Li Niang that you want to buy a yard. My yard has not been lived in for a long time. You should go and have a look inside first. If it looks good, I will find someone in a few days." Move things around to make room for you."

"Okay, Zhenzhen and I will go in and have a look, please trouble Uncle Tian and Niang Li." Tao Fu said.

"It doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way." Li Niang and Tian Shu replied with a smile.

Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, Tian Shu, and Li Niang walked into the yard together.

The yard was exactly as Yuan Liuzhen saw it from the outside. The whole yard was much bigger than Tao Fu's yard, and the house was also bigger.There is a hall and two small rooms on the side facing the door, two large rooms on both sides, and two small rooms on the side near the gate.

Yuan Liuzhen liked it even more after he entered the house. If the weeds in the yard were cleaned up, the garden could be repaired, and some rockery could be put in it to raise fish. The most important thing was that there was a stone mill in the yard. He thought about it at first. In the future, to make spicy slices, you need to grind soybean milk with a big stone in Liyao Village, but now there is a small stone mill, so you don’t need to run away at all.

After watching it, Yuan Liuzhen said to Tao Fu with satisfaction: "Fu, I think it's good, what do you think?"

"I also think it's good." Tao Fu really thinks it's good. The layout of the houses in this courtyard is almost the same as that of the people's courtyard in the provincial capital.

Knowing that Tao Fu was also satisfied, Yuan Liuzhen said to Uncle Tian, ​​"Uncle Tian, ​​we think this yard is good, so we decided to buy it."

After hearing this, Uncle Tian smiled and said: "Okay, I will go back to the county after two days like this, and after talking to my family, I will come with my family to remove all the things, and then you and I will go to the town. Just pass the deed and that's it."

"Okay. No problem." Yuan Liuzhen breathed a sigh of relief after asking Uncle Tian about the time and payment method.

It will take about ten days for Uncle Tian to go back to the county and move things, and then go to the town to handle the transfer of the house deed, which will take about twenty days.You can pay 25 taels of silver as a deposit when Uncle Tian leaves, and then pay [-] taels of silver when transferring the house deed.

Yuan Liuzhen told Uncle Tian that they would come over tomorrow night and pay five taels of deposit first, and they were going to the town to sell snacks, and when they said goodbye to Uncle Tian and Li Niang, they made a large portion of spicy sticks and crispy rice for each of them.

On the way to the town while driving the ox cart, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were still discussing the situation of the yard and the silver issue.

"The yard is really nice. After taking care of it, it will be more convenient for living or making food, but the silver taels are not enough." Yuan Liuzhen looked at Tao Fu and said, "I only have a little more than ten taels of silver with me now, and I still need to make up 20 taels." Two will do, next time we go to town, let’s make more horseradish and crispy rice.”

After Tao Fu heard this, he apologized and said, "I have about 12 taels of silver here. The money I earn from selling horseradish and crispy rice in the future should be enough to pay for the taels needed by the yard. It's all because of me, and Zhenzhen, a yard in Ligou Village, cannot Live, I told Uncle Man when I sold that yard, if the yard is uncomfortable to live in, you can use the deed to get back the ten taels of silver..."

Before Tao Fu finished speaking, Yuan Liuzhen interrupted: "The courtyard in Ligou Village is very nice, I am very satisfied, it has nothing to do with Fu, I may go back to live in the future, right? Uncle Man is still there. As for you back then I’m not comfortable living here. I’ve decided not to exchange the house deed for ten taels of silver. Another thing is to buy Uncle Tian’s yard. Now the taels of silver are not enough, but we will go to Litang Town several times later to sell horseradish and crispy rice. If the amount is two or three times more than the current amount, it can be sold for more than ten taels of silver. Anyway, we will do business together in the future, and the yard we sell will be counted as our two. If Fu agrees, the 30 taels, one person will pay 15 taels, When the uncle transfers the house deed, it is enough to transfer the ownership to the two of us. We will live there together in the future. If Fu does not agree, if it is convenient, you can lend me the amount of silver taels when the time comes. "

Yuan Liuzhen said this because he was afraid that Tao Fu would not be able to handle these things because of the thinking of people in this era. He handled real estate issues with modern thinking, so there would be no disputes, but this seemed too excessive. After hearing this, Tao Fu was really angry. Not a word.

Yuan Liuzhen had no choice but to say: "Then we don't make such a fine distinction. Let's pool money to buy this yard and live together. The transfer is still between the two of us."

Tao Fu nodded after hearing this.

Yuan Liuzhen also sighed for a while. It is really not a wise move to buy a yard at this time, because he doesn't know how much taels Tao Fu still owes. If Tao Fu wants to chip in for him, he can't repay the debt, what should he do?I still have to find an opportunity to ask Tao Fu how much money he owes, so don't worry, but recently, they have to sell a lot of spicy sticks and crispy rice to earn more than ten taels of silver.

After a period of time, Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen started to be very busy after sending Uncle Tian a deposit of five taels of silver. All the spicy strips and crispy rice were sold out in the town, and they had to keep greeting people who were going to the market. By the time they bought all the spicy strips and crispy rice, it was already very late.Sometimes they couldn’t sell them all in the first few times, and they had to go to a nearby village to sell them for a while, and they would return to the thatched hut on the mountain after buying all the spicy sticks and crispy rice.Once they even rushed back when it was ugly, and they had to wake up very early after simply cleaning and going to bed.Every time they go back, they have to go up the mountain with rice and peppers and other things.

The two of them were exhausted to the limit after going back and forth like this, but they seemed to be tireless. Looking at the money they earned every day, they felt that it was worth it.

And it is really worthwhile for them to be so busy and so desperate to sell spicy strips and crispy rice. They had already earned almost 16 taels of silver when they sold to No. 11, when they told Uncle Tian that they would buy a yard, and because they often appeared on the street, The taste of the spicy strips is very good, and it has gained some reputation in the town, and many more people come to buy them. The next two sales of spicy strips and crispy rice are much easier than the first few times.

The two who finally made enough money to pay for the yard were relieved, and Li Niang also brought good news to them that Uncle Tian had finished moving the things and asked them to go to Litang Town to transfer the house title five days later.

During the five days of waiting, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were still as busy as before, and Yuan Liuzhen encouraged herself and Tao Fu from time to time, saying: "When we buy the yard, we will take a good rest for a few days and think about some profitable snacks. Sell ​​it in Tang Town."

After hearing this, Tao Fu agreed very much, and he blamed himself a lot. It didn't matter if he took a break or not. However, Yuan Liuzhen was very busy recently and had no time to practice swords or paint. He felt very sorry. He wanted to wait in the yard If you buy it, they won't have to work so hard.At that time, he can sell snacks alone, and let Yuan Liuzhen rest when he wants to rest. Of course, if Yuan Liuzhen wants to continue to be a wife, he can talk to the villagers in Liyao Village.
