Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 215 Buying Field

Linghua was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Sister! You are so bad!"

When Lihua heard what Xia Daohua said, she thought about it and realized that it did make some sense. She hugged Linghua who was still jumping, pushed her head into his arms, and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll wash Linghua first. If you feel the water is cold or dirty, just squeak and I'll get you some water."

Xia Daohua nodded: "Yeah, don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

The Xia family just settled down in this large courtyard.

The Hu family lives in the west, the Zhao family lives in the south, and the landlord's family lives in the east, including the landlord's two younger brothers and their entire family, as well as the landlord's wife and an underage girl.

After resting in the courtyard for a few days, the Xia family felt a little overwhelmed, especially the women in charge of the family such as Mrs. Zhou.

Otherwise, the cost of living here is much higher than in Beiguan Village.

In Beiguan Village, my family has fields, a vegetable garden, and mountains and forests outside the village.

If you want to eat food, grow it yourself. Although there are times when you need to buy food to eat, as long as it is a peaceful year, the time when you need to buy food only accounts for about one-third of the year.

If you want to eat vegetables and meat, you must grow and raise them yourself, and go into the mountains to hunt them.

If you want to burn firewood, you can go into the mountains to collect firewood. If you are willing to go farther and deeper, you can also cut down trees.

But when he arrived in Jixiang County, even though he rented a house and lived there, he opened the door for seven things every day, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, but Yang Yang still had to spend money to buy it.

The price changes every day again, but there is no pattern.

Today you think it is cheap, so you buy two kilograms more, and tomorrow the price will be even lower. Today you think it is expensive, so you buy two kilograms less, and tomorrow the price will double.

For such a big family like the Xia family, sitting at home and eating every day, even if they only drink gruel, is a big expense.

Buying two kilograms of grain is not enough for the family to cook porridge for two days.

The Xia family was inevitably a little anxious and angry, even Erlang, Taohua, and the fourth couple who had some money in their hands. Not to mention those who had little income and originally expected to farm.

The Zhao family and the Hu family are also a little anxious.

In the past few days, they have been running to Yahang frequently to see the fields, houses and shops.

The Xia family also couldn't sit still.

Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou stayed at home, while the other adults went out to look for work in the streets.

Even if you work part-time for a while and work as a waiter in a restaurant or something, it is better than sitting at home and having nothing to do.

Xia Dalang soon found a livelihood:

He held A Liu in his arms and ran to set up a stall opposite the carriage and horse shop and wrote letters to people. Although the business was not very good, he made money in a day, at least a dozen copper coins.

Of course, after the whole family has settled down, he will still go to the academy.

But now, the family's livelihood has not yet been settled, and Xia Dalang is not willing to live for free, so he first sets up a letter-writing stall to earn a penny.

Erlang went out for a walk and found someone recruiting coolies on the dock. There was no threshold for this job, but he felt that it was not suitable for the Xia family - if you work as a coolie for a long time, your body may not be able to bear it and you will be overworked.

It's not uncommon for people to vomit blood due to fatigue. Secondly, seeing money every day may make it difficult to settle down and farm.

He also went to various restaurants, and when he came back, he took Xia Daohua and talked:

"Daohua, have you brought your pickle guy? I've been to several restaurants here and found that they don't sell pickles like ours."

Xia Daohua nodded in support: "I brought it with me. Besides, it's not difficult for that guy. I can find someone to make two sets now. By the way, I still have samples here. Let's go see which one is willing to accept them."

Erlang nodded readily: "Sure. But the atmosphere here is different from that of Bohai County. If you go with me, there might be some slutty people who won't listen to you..."

Xia Daohua naturally doesn't mind what others say.

So Erlang took Xia Daohua out together, and Xia Daohua took two small jars of samples, each containing one pound, one spicy cabbage and one sour radish.

The two of them visited Xia Erlang and went to "clean the building" of a restaurant they thought they might cooperate with.

The Xia Yougui brothers walked around several areas in the outer city under the bright sun outside, and then returned home in a depressed manner to discuss business matters with the old couple:

"The carriage and horse shop is hiring, but they need someone who can ride a horse and drive a carriage. The wharf is looking for coolies, but Erlang doesn't think that job is possible.

Our brothers are not very successful at it.

We don't know how to use that skill, so we're afraid we won't be able to do it. Our bodies are exhausted, and we're afraid we won't have anywhere to buy regret medicine.

Look, we farmers still have to farm. Let’s buy land as soon as possible!

If you buy farmland at this time, the price will be lower.”

The old couple also felt that fields were the foundation of life, so they naturally wanted to buy fields.

Although the county town is prosperous, everything costs money; although the countryside is more lonely, it is easier to solve the problem of burning firewood and eating rice. So the Xia family also started to go to Yaxing to see the fields.

I also didn’t forget to ask the Zhao family and the Hu family about their experiences in visiting the land.

The three families thought that if they bought the fields together, they could take care of each other. They might as well send someone from each of the three families to see the fields together.

In this way, you can also look at a larger plot of land. If everything is suitable, three families can eat it together.

I just ran around like this for several days and still couldn't buy a suitable land.

Either the price is inappropriate, the location is inappropriate, or the land itself has some problems.

Think about it, Jixiang County is different from Beiguan Town.

Beiguan Town has a small population and a large area of ​​wilderness and mountain forests. If there is no land to cultivate, there will be enough to open up wasteland.

But in Jixiang County, everything has been planned and arranged, and the population is large.

Large families are buying more and more land, but small families don’t have enough land to cultivate. If they hadn’t suffered some natural or man-made disaster, who would be willing to sell their land?

Mr. Xia ran twice in person and was busy chattering all day long. His legs were swollen from exhaustion and it was difficult to even take off his shoes at night.

After all, age is not forgiving, and you can’t accept it!

The old couple of the Xia family handed over all this matter to the second and fifth sons.

Although Xia Yougui, the second eldest child, is not very good in character, he is a good farmer and he naturally recognizes the advantages and disadvantages of the land. Moreover, as a somewhat generous owner, he will not be criticized if he sees unclear boundaries and the like.

People are fooled.

Mr. Xia feels more at ease with the reliable Lao Wu taking care of money matters.

The Xia family actually has a lot of money on hand.

Especially the Zhou family, the four-bedroom couple, Xia Xuejiao, Erlang, and Taohua are all considered wealthy owners.

The Zhou family's money is the wealth accumulated by the Xia family over decades.

Except for the fact that the couple is very careful with their budgets, the money for the four houses comes from the business of the pickle workshop.
