Li Baoguo was basking in the sun in the courtyard when he heard someone knocking on the door and asking, "Who is it?"

"Uncle Li, it's me, Li Fu, and I have something to do with you." Li Fu's voice came from outside the door.

Li Baoguo opened the door, "What's the matter? Come here at noon."

"Uncle Li, I brought you a bottle of wine, your favorite drink is Zhuyeqing." Li Fu shook the thing in his hand.

"You kid, tell me what's wrong." Li Baoguo sat back and turned a blind eye to the bottle of wine.

Li Fu found a stool and sat aside, "Uncle Li, you also know that my family has a lot of land and little food to eat. Let's buy fertile land. We don't have that much money, so I want to buy some wasteland and cultivate it myself."

"That's it, it's easy to handle." Li Baoguo then took the wine and took a sip, "If you want to buy that piece of wasteland, you must know that wasteland is not easy to cultivate, so you can't regret it if you buy it."

"No, don't worry, Uncle Li. Li Fu secretly laughed at the fool who regretted it, "It's the land on the mountain where red fruits are grown. Uncle Li can buy that land!"

"Yes," Li Baoguo wondered why he wanted that land. Although there were red fruits growing on them, they couldn't be sold for money, so it was useless to ask for them. "Li Fu, that land is more expensive than other wastelands. You have to think clearly."

"Uncle Li, I want that piece of land. My father also means the same thing." Li Fu took out the money and said, "Uncle, look, I brought all the money. I might as well buy it today so that I can open up the land early."

Li Baoguo nodded and said everything that needed to be said, "Okay, we'll go over and measure it. The land is three to two acres. Then you can see how much you can buy."

The rest of the Li family were waiting there. When they saw Li Zheng approaching, Mr. Li greeted him, "Baoguo, thank you for your hard work. I asked you to come here even in such a hot day."

"It's okay. This is my job. Brother Li, how many acres do you want to buy? I can help you measure it." Li Baoguo went straight to the point.

"Baoguo, I want all this land, look at how much it costs in total." The old man pointed to the red fruit field.

Li Baoguo frowned, wondering when he could finish cultivating so much land. "Uncle Li, although this wasteland is cheap, the village will take it back if it is not planted with food within five years."

"Baoguo, don't worry, I know the rules." The old man didn't care. He could make a lot of money in five years.

"Okay, I'll have someone measure me right now. Let's finish it early. It's too hot today." Li Baoguo wiped his sweat and began to measure. Li Fu followed suit.

"Brother Li, there are five acres of land in total and fifteen taels of silver." Li Baoguo said the measured data.

"Baoguo, please count and see if the money is right." The old man took out two fifty-tael coins, and then took out five strings of copper coins from his bag and handed them to Li Baoguo.

Li Baoguo glanced at it and collected the money. "There's no need to count it. I don't know what kind of person Brother Li is, but it must be enough." After saying that, he took out the land deed and handed it to the old man.

When the old man heard the compliment, his smile wrinkles spread.

"Uncle Li, if this tree is not cut down, will it not be regarded as wasteland?" Lin Xue walked to the front and asked.

Li Baoguo nodded, "That's right, but this red fruit tree is of no use!" He turned to look at the old man, "Uncle Li, you plan to keep the red fruit!"

"Yes, I have some use for this red fruit." After buying it, the old man didn't hide it anymore. People would know about it sooner or later, so why not sell it now?

Li Baoguo blinked and stopped asking. He was willing to say that he was already giving him face, and if he asked again, he would be out of touch.

When the Li family bought the land, many people in the village saw it. After Li Zheng left, some people gathered around and asked, "Uncle Li, what is the use of this red fruit? It is not delicious." The people around were eager to hear the answer.

Things you don't know always make people curious.

Mr. Li smiled and said, "It has some uses. You will know in a few days." He typically said nothing.

Some people were dissatisfied and said, "Uncle Li, we are all from the same village, why don't we keep it under wraps? You have all bought this land, so why are you worried?"

"Of course these red fruits are sold for money!" Li Gui couldn't wait to show off. After all, he bought them, so what's there to worry about?

"Li Gui, aren't you crazy about money? You don't want this red fruit for free. Who would buy it with money?" Li Gui's rival Li San mocked.

"That's right, the Li family went crazy and wasted their money." Someone nearby agreed.

"What do you know? The food made from red fruits is extremely delicious," Li Gui shouted angrily. There will be times when you, these ignorant people, will regret it.

"What's the food and how to make it? Li Gui, don't bluff. No one knows that you are not telling the truth." Li San said excitedly. This red fruit is also available in other places. As long as he knows how to make it, he can also make a fortune.

.

"I'm not bluffing, but eating is..."

"Boy, what are you talking about? Why don't you go back to the fields and there's still work to do?" The old man hurriedly interrupted what Li Gui was saying.

Li San was unwilling to give in, and the duck flew away, "Li Gui, tell me, maybe I got it right and you are bluffing again."

Li Gui blushed and said nothing, lowered his head and walked quickly home.

Stupid, Lin Xue shook her head. Others said everything in just a few words. It’s really unreliable. It seems the prescription needs to be sold sooner.

When he went to the house, the old man handed the land deed to Mr. Wang and put it away. He glared at Li Gui and said, "Second brother, how old are you? You talk without thinking. If I hadn't stopped you just now, would you have said everything?

"

"Dad, that's not possible. I didn't tell you before. Don't worry, I won't go out until the prescription is sold." Li Guixin assured.

"Dad, there are already people in the village who suspect that red fruits can be used as food. If anyone knows how to make it, this recipe will be worthless." Lin Xue didn't trust Li Gui, so it would be better to sell the recipe as soon as possible.

The old man nodded. He spent all his family's savings to buy the land this time. It was a desperate move. He was also a little uneasy. It would be better to sell it as soon as possible. "Boss, you guys pack up. We will go to town early tomorrow morning. Third wife, you

Follow along."

"Dad, I'll go too, I haven't been to town for a long time." Mrs. Zhao came over and pulled Lin Xue, "I can accompany my three younger siblings."

"Dad, I want to go too." Li Yue and Li Duo shouted.

"No, you stay at home and you are not allowed to go." The old man refused.

"Mom, please talk to dad. We are just strolling around, and we will definitely not delay the business." Li Yue acted coquettishly at Mr. Wang.

Li Duo grabbed Wang's other arm and said, "Mom, just let us go shopping. We haven't been out for a long time."

Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her daughter and said to the old man, "Just let them go. After you get married, you won't have the chance to go shopping. Women will have more freedom as girls."

The old man was moved, "Okay, let's go, but be obedient and don't make trouble on the way."
