Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 217 Buying Land (2)

Busy making winter clothes, wadding quilts, pickling pickled vegetables, making soybean paste, drying vegetables, scrubbing old household items, taking apart and washing old cotton-padded clothes and quilts, the Xia family was so busy from morning to night that it was almost like beating the back of the head with their feet.

Xia Xuejiao and a group of people were busy doing embroidery work in the house, including handkerchiefs, purses, fan covers, and small embroidery screens.

Xia Daohua and the others also make spicy cabbage and pickled radish.

I moved, washed, rinsed, sprinkled the ingredients in proportion, and stirred like crazy until all the dishes were mixed evenly before I could take a break. I was so tired that I was sweating all over.

Living in the same compound, the landlord's family, the Hu family, and the Zhao family couldn't help but get excited when they saw the Xia family being so enthusiastic. So the families also started busy with their own affairs.

Although the land has not yet been settled, preparations for winter this year have been sufficient.

The partners looked at Xiaoliu for a month, but they still couldn't find the land they wanted. Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou felt anxious and couldn't help but secretly stuffed Yaren with a handful of copper coins and begged him to think more about their own affairs. With that

If it's a suitable place, remember to leave it for your family.

Yaren received extra benefits and began to work extra hard.

Finally, when the first snow fell, the Xia family found a moderately fertile farmland.

The land is not big, but it is full of space. Even the corners are included, and there are only about 26 acres. It is located in the suburbs closest to Jixiang County: Fengwei Village.

There are beauties in Fengwei Village, including the late Emperor's empress.

Of course, he was born in a lowly position, his status was not high, and he was not favored and died in a few years, but ordinary people don't care about this.

If a queen came out hundreds of years ago, they would also talk about it.

What's more, this man's meteoric rise only happened a few decades ago.

After the empress became the empress, her family moved away from Fengwei Village and moved into the capital, where they lived in the house that the empress bought for her.

But Fengwei Village's reputation for beauties has spread.

People in the village do not discriminate against girls as much as other places, but instead value boys and girls equally.

Girls in this village, when they are thirteen or fourteen years old, will be visited by wealthy families. If they meet a girl who is handsome, smart, and outstanding, they will solemnly take her as a concubine, or even marry her.

Come in.

And the villagers will also move away.

Those who are reluctant to leave their homeland will move into Jixiang County;

Those who are reluctant to part with their daughter will move to the city where the daughter's husband's family is.

Because of this tradition inherited from the late emperor's favored empress, there is land for sale in this village.

After the Xia family went to see it, they thought it was a rare opportunity. Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou nodded without hesitation and bought the land.

But the price of this land is not cheap.

According to the market conditions in Beiguan Village, one acre of good land is only worth four or five taels of silver.

But in Fengwei Village, the asking price for this acre of land is ten taels of silver. It is obviously just a middle-class field, but it is actually priced at the price of a top-class field!

The Xia family was a little reluctant upon hearing this.

The Yaren quietly told them that although the price was exaggerated, it was only a little higher than the market price. If they could bargain down to eight taels of silver, it was the end of the bargain.

Because land of this quality can be sold for twelve taels of silver per acre in late summer and early autumn.

The family was in a hurry to move, and they were in a hurry, so they didn't shout twelve taels.

The Xia family frowned and calculated the calculation. If calculated based on ten taels of silver, the twenty-six acres of land would cost two hundred and sixty taels. Not counting the commission for the tooth man and the tax paid when signing the contract with the government.

fees and the like.

If we can cut eight taels of silver, that would be two hundred and eight taels...

It's just that although that family was eager to sell, the Xia family was also somewhat eager to buy. They went back and forth to the land, and finally only got the price of nine taels of silver per acre. However, the original house of the family next to the field was regarded as an addition and given to them.

The Xia family.

Including the land and the house, it cost 234 taels of silver. It cost 40 taels of silver to sign the red deed, pay taxes and fees, and give commissions and thanks to the people.

After taking out this money, the old couple's money bag was about to reach its bottom.

The old couple was excited and heartbroken, and their moods were very complicated.

Twenty-six acres of land, even if it is only moderately fertile land, can only yield 200 kilograms of grain per acre, which is almost enough for the old Xia family.

When the old couple was thinking about this matter, they seemed to have completely forgotten that the Xia family had been separated, and they still considered the whole family together.

However, it is not enough to simply count on the harvest of this land.

Because when harvesting the grain itself, you have to pay taxes and donations, corvee taxes, and everything else has to come from the fields.

Therefore, although the Xia family bought the land, Mr. Xia and his four sons only made two trips to hand over the affairs of the land to Xia Yougui, which did not delay them from continuing to look around.

The passion of the place.

Neither Mr. Xia nor the Zhou family knew that almost all of their sons, except Xia Youtian, were eyeing this land.

This piece of land is the closest to Jixiang County. Even if you don't grow it yourself and rent it out to others, if you want to take a look in the land, you have to be somewhere nearby and convenient.

If the old couple were willing to give this piece of land to themselves, it would be so beautiful!

For a time, starting from Xia Yougui and Sun, all the sons and daughters-in-law seemed to be suddenly and inexplicably more filial.

At the same time, Xia Youtian and Jiang were also optimistic about a piece of land, but the location was much further away than Fengwei Village. Fengwei Village was less than fifty miles away from the city wall of Jixiang County.

The land that Sifang and his wife were interested in was located in Huangtao Village.

There are many wild yellow peach trees growing on the local hillsides. Although you can't see peaches now, you can see large tracts of peach trees. Thinking about the scene of blooming in spring and bearing fruit in summer and autumn, people can't help but be fascinated.

Unfortunately, Huangtao Village is quite far away from Jixiang County, about a hundred miles away.

The four-bedroom couple like that place mainly because it looks a lot like Beiguan Village. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. There are not many people in the village, and the transportation is not very convenient, but the roads are not difficult to walk.

The couple in Sifang liked the land very much when they saw it, but they were also somewhat conflicted.

They always felt that they should inform the old couple, but the old couple had just bought the land in Fengwei Village. If the old couple also took a fancy to this place, they might not have enough money to help them.

.

Moreover, if he told the old couple, maybe the old couple would involve the Hu family and the Zhao family to buy together. Xia Youtian didn't know why, but intuitively didn't want to go forward or retreat with those two families.

This piece of land is a full sixty acres, and it is also a medium-sized field. It is relatively close to the water source. The seller just asked for a price of twelve taels of silver per acre.
