Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 214 Settlement

Xia Daohua looked curious and looked around as she walked. She was not shy when facing the natives of Jixiang County.

She quickly got close to the enthusiastic and talkative locals, and inquired about the situation in the city. In less than a quarter of an hour, she understood the basic situation of Jixiang County.

The outer city of Jixiang County is the area from the city gate to the inner city wall. It is used for the residence of the indigenous people of Jixiang County and people who come from other places to make a living.

She only saw the city walls in the inner city, but she was not qualified to enter.

Because the inner city is exclusively for officials and wealthy local families in Jixiang County. Outsiders have to live in the local area for several years before they are eligible to live in the inner city.

Of course, this excludes officials, clerks, and slaves who come here for official business.

People from the outer city can also enter the inner city if they need to go to the county government for business or the like, but they need someone to act as a guarantor - such as people from the official dental industry, or indigenous people who originally live in the inner city, officials, etc.

After the three families entered the city, they stopped at a wonton stall near the city gate, drank a bowl of hot wontons, and inquired about some news.

The first thing after that was to go straight to the tooth shop.

They had to rent a yard to live in, settle down the whole family, and then slowly buy land and a house.

The mule carts used by the family for traveling can also be disposed of together. At least for the Xia family, the family will not need so many mule carts for the time being.

When looking for a place to live and buy a yard, the Xia family, the Hu family, and the Zhao family had different opinions and had disagreements. In fact, not only did the three families have different plans, but the Xia family also had very different ideas.

The Hu family wanted to farm in the countryside and did not want to live in the county town of Jixiang County.

The Zhao family also wants to farm, but they don't want to go too far, as long as it's in the suburbs of Jixiang County.

The Xia family's idea is to settle down in the county.

Xia Dalang needs to find an academy to study.

Wulang had to go to private school or school.

The couple in the second house want to farm, the third house wants to work, and the fifth house wants to start a small business.

The couple in Sifang want to buy some land to grow their own crops, but the children want to continue opening a store and sell Daohuaxiang series of products.

In the end, the three families jointly spent money to rent a large courtyard for a short period of time.

They agreed to live in the same place for the time being.

Firstly, they cherish each other's friendship; secondly, they are new to a strange place, and there are many people who are brave and can take care of each other; thirdly, it saves money.

Once you find the land or shop that suits your ideas, buy or rent a house that suits you, it won't be too late to separate.

The yard where the three families rented for a short period of time was near Yaxing, and it took about two-quarters of an hour to walk there.

This large courtyard was originally a standard courtyard house, but later the owner built more houses for the convenience of renting it out.

It's just that ordinary people can't live in that many houses, and the landlord's family also lives in several houses, so he divided the entire yard and rented it out.

Gradually, a good courtyard house turned into a large courtyard house housing more than a dozen families.

The income sources of these tenants vary. Sometimes some people cannot afford to pay the rent even though they are renting, and have to move out.

Of course, there are also people who have become rich and feel that the environment here is not good, so they have moved to the inner city.

The last tenant was a theater troupe. Later, the powerful people took a fancy to the leading actors in the theater troupe, and spent a lot of money to buy them from the troupe owner.

The troupe leader was getting older and had been wandering around the world for a long time, so he inevitably missed his hometown. After thinking about it, he simply dismissed the troupe and returned to his hometown in the south with his money and a child.

This yard has been vacant since then. It has been listed in Yaxing for a long time, but no suitable tenant has been found.

The Xia family, the Hu family and the Zhao family saw this house, and after seeing the layout and the number of houses, they all felt somewhat satisfied.

This house hadn't found a tenant for a while, and the landlord couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Together with the three families and Yaren, they bargained for almost two hours, drank several pots of tea, and finally agreed on a price that was satisfactory to both parties.

.

This courtyard is located in the outer city, and it is not a single-family house. Its advantages are that it is large in area, has many houses, has a kang, and a well in the yard.

Therefore, the rent of the yard is thirty taels of silver per month, which is thirty-six taels for the whole year.

There were exactly three families, and each family paid twelve taels of silver.

The burden is not too heavy, but it is really painful.

The Xia family was allocated sixteen rooms in the north.

The old couple lived in one room, Xia Xuejiao and Xiao'e, Qianniang lived in one room, Xia Yujiao and Sister-in-law Qiu lived in one room each, Xia Dalang and A Liu lived in one room, Xia Yougui and Sun Shi lived in one room, Xia Erlang and Zhou Yunniang lived in one room, and Taohua San lived in one room.

One room for sisters, one room for Sanlang and four brothers

, Granny Qu and the Zhou children live in one room, Xia Youxi and Wu family live in one room, Lanhua and Juhua live in one room, Xia Youtian and Jiang family live in one room, Sophora japonica lives in one room, Lihua, Wulang, Xia Daohua, and Linghua live in one room

, Xia Youliang and Cheng's room, Liulang and Zaohua's room.

Everyone pays about the same amount, but the second room has more people and occupies the most room.

Mrs. Sun felt that she had taken advantage, and she was particularly pleased with the children brought by Mr. Zhou and Granny Qu.

Little did Sun know that Erlang had secretly given the money to Zhou.

Unlike Mr. Sun, Erlang never wanted to eat and occupy more.

Everyone hurriedly unloaded their luggage and household items from the car, stuffed them haphazardly into their rooms, and then lined up in the big kitchen to boil water for washing - this was one of the shortcomings of this courtyard -

—The kitchen is communal. Not every household has its own kitchen.

Fortunately, we have developed enough tacit understanding by walking together.

He also adapts well to things like queuing up to boil water.

There was no dispute.

Xia Daohua asked others to line up first while she stayed in the house to decorate the room.

Anyway, there is space, so moving it around takes no effort at all.

Moreover, you can also take out the things that were previously hidden in the space and smuggled them out one by one, and mix them into a large number of luggage, so that people will find out unknowingly: "Oh, I even brought this with me!"

By the time Xia Daohua got a chance to take a bath, it was already dark.

In order to save money, Mrs. Zhou spread the word to the children, asking them to save money and not to light lamps and waste wax and boil oil, but just take a bath in the dark.

After hearing this, Xia Daohua felt very happy.

She locked the door, sneaked into the space quietly, took a refreshing bath in the space, and no one could see her when she came out. It was so convenient!

For this convenience, Xia Daohua specifically proposed to let Linghua and Lihua wash in front of her.

Lihua declined sheepishly and gave way, but Xia Daohua said:

"Sister, I am actually being lazy. You and Linghua wash up first, and the hard work of giving Linghua, the little mud monkey a bath will be all yours!"

Linghua pursed her lips in dissatisfaction: "I'm not a little clay monkey!"

Xia Daohua smiled and said: "Well, you are not a little clay monkey, you are a little clay figurine."
