Lin Zhong hunched his shoulders, and with a bit of restraint and a bit of flattery, he smiled unnaturally and opened his mouth.

"Li Zheng, my Ah Ruan wants to buy the vacant land at the bend of the river. Do you think this can be done?"

Li Zheng asked strangely: "That vacant land at the bend of the river? Why did you buy that vacant land? You can't grow crops, and it's flooded in summer. It's not a good land."

"Ah Ruan said he wanted to build a chicken and duck shed there."

Li Zheng didn't want to ask more about Lin Ruan. Hearing what Lin Zhong said, he nodded.

"If you really want it, I'll sell it to you, but I'll say it first. If there are any problems after the land is sold to you, don't come to me to make trouble."

Lin Zhong kept nodding: "This is natural."

Li Zheng hummed, "That's a piece of wasteland there. According to the price of wasteland in the village, which is two taels of silver per acre, it's only a little over an acre. I'll give it to you on an acre basis."

Lin Zhong nodded gratefully.

Lin Ruan immediately took out the money and asked Lin Zhong to hand it to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and estimated that it was about the same, so he typed the receipt and fingerprinted it.

"That piece of land is wasteland and there is no title deed. You take the written certificate first. When I go back, I will go to the Yamen to get the land deed, and then I will come to you to exchange the written certificate for the land deed."

Lin Zhong nodded repeatedly, took the receipt, and handed it to Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan took a look and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the content on the receipt, then folded it and put it away.

Li Zheng asked curiously: "A Ruan can read?"

Lin Ruan nodded: "I know a few of them. After Ahan went to school, I learned from him. I don't know the complicated ones, but I can remember some of the simple ones."

This reason sounded very reasonable, so Li Zheng didn't say anything else.

After everything was done, Lin Ruan and Lin Zhong came out of Li Zheng's house.

Lin Ruan asked: "Dad, who in our village is good at raising chickens and ducks?"

Lin Zhong shook his head: "Every farmer raises three or five animals at a time. They usually throw out a handful of grass, and when the children have nothing to do, they just catch some bugs to feed. No one would raise a group of them. After all, they can't even take care of the work in the fields.

How can you think of raising so many chickens and ducks?"

After thinking for a while, he added: "If you really plan to raise more, I will guard the shed for you when the time comes. Let others guard it. How can I not worry about my own family guarding it?"

Lin Ruan smiled and didn't respond.

She was even more worried about Lin Zhongshou. Old Wang's group was afraid that they would not be able to catch chickens and kill ducks three times a day.

Therefore, she would rather spend money to hire people to raise chickens and ducks than let Lin Zhong go.

After buying the land, the next step was to build a poultry house.

This kind of work does not require any technical skills, just leave it to Uncle Zhou and the others.

When Lin Ruan returned to his old house, he told Aunt Zhou his plan and asked Uncle Zhou to help build it and contract the work and materials. She paid ten taels of silver.

Aunt Zhou was so happy that she didn't even bother to cook. She hurriedly went to the field to tell Uncle Zhou about this and asked him to hurry up and finish the work in the field, and then build a chicken coop for Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan wore an apron and was busy cooking in the shed, planning a trip to the mountains.

She wanted to get a piece of land in the mountains to grow vegetables first.

It's very cold here in winter and it's impossible to grow vegetables. Unless she builds a few vegetable greenhouses, relying on her powers alone would be too impressive.

But in this era, building a greenhouse is simply not realistic.

So she wanted to visit Shenwu Mountain, get a piece of land, and go up the mountain to sow seeds every two days, so that there would be a continuous supply of vegetables for the hot pot restaurant.

Moreover, the green vegetables come from Shenwu Mountain. Even if someone is curious, no one dares to go in and find out. This saves her a lot of trouble.

After lunch, Lin Ruan planned to go up the mountain.

As soon as Lin Han saw her going up the mountain, he followed her silently.

"Why are you following me? Don't you have to go back to school in the afternoon?"

Lin Han kept a straight face and said nothing, still looking like he was going to fight the awkwardness to the end.

Lin Ruan shook his head in amusement. This little brat was obviously still having trouble with her, but he didn't trust her to go up the mountain alone and had to follow her.

If you want to follow, then follow.

Lin Ruan didn't care about him, took a hatchet and went up the mountain.

As soon as we entered Shenwu Mountain, we were greeted by big tigers and small tigers.

Not seeing Xiuxiu, Xiaohu expressed his displeasure and opened his mouth and yelled at Lin Han.

Lin Han was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back. Lin Ruan couldn't help but laugh and said: "I told you not to follow, but you still follow. I'm scared to follow."

Lin Han snorted, straightened his chest, and took two steps forward to prove that he was not afraid.

Lin Ruan was too lazy to pay attention to this awkward child and turned to talk to Dahu.

"Dahu, I want to find a place to grow vegetables in this mountain. Do you know where there is a suitable place? It would be better if the temperature is higher and you are not afraid of snow in winter."

Dahu shook his body and motioned for Lin Ruan to follow.

Lin Ruan's eyes lit up, is there really such a place?

Dahu led Lin Ruan and Lin Hu in a direction that Lin Ruan had never gone before, and Xiaohu followed at the end.

There are no roads in Shenwu Mountain and there are weeds everywhere. The big tiger walked in front and could barely make an obscure path.

After walking for about half an hour, Dahu led them to a stop in front of a crack only as wide as one person.

A faint smell of sulfur wafted from the valley.

Lin Ruan couldn't help but be surprised. Is there a hot spring here?

Dahu roared towards the crack, then raised his feet and walked inside.

Lin Ruan and Lin Han quickly followed.

The crack is not wide, only allowing one person to move forward, and the road is also winding, with vines growing on the rock walls on both sides.

After walking about ten meters, the road gradually widened. After walking a few meters further, a valley suddenly opened up before our eyes, covering an area of ​​about ten acres.

In the center of the valley, there are several hot springs that are steaming. There are many flowers that have withered outside blooming around the springs. The grass grows very densely, and the temperature in the valley is much higher than outside.

Lin Ruan looked at the flowers and plants and couldn't help but smile.

Not only does it have hot springs, but it also does not affect the growth of plants. It is simply a treasure.

After looking around the valley again, in a corner near the hot spring, I found a cave that was as tall as one person.

Seeing the familiar appearance of Big Tiger and Little Tiger in the valley, Lin Ruan asked: "Isn't this your residence?"

Dahu nodded very humanely.

Lin Ruan rubbed its tiger head: "You guys really know how to enjoy it."

Living in this valley is so comfortable in winter.

Dahu shook his head, looking a little proud.

Lin Han walked around the valley, his eyes full of surprise.

This is the first time in his life that he knows that there is such a thing as a hot spring.

Lin Ruan looked at the water in the springs. It was very hot. If he wanted to take a bath, he had to use cold water to cool it down.

"Dahu, I want to build a small house here. When I'm free, can I bring Xiuxiu to stay here for two days?"

Lin Ruan really likes this valley. The environment is so good. It is so comfortable to live here in winter.

Dahu trusted Lin Ruan very much. After hearing what she said, he rubbed his big head against her affectionately.
