After listening to Shopkeeper Sun's description, Li Xin was quite satisfied with the village. The mountainous area might not be of much use to others, but she could use it. There are still many things that can be grown in the mountainous areas, such as corn, peppers, etc.

Sweet potatoes and the like. In fact, it is better to grow peppers in the mountains. The peppers grown in the mountains are less likely to spoil. Besides, you can also plant some fruit trees, or peanuts, taro, sweet potatoes, etc., although they are not considered food.

, it is also a cash crop.

Even those mountainous areas that are not fertile can still grow some tea trees and the like! The owner of that house offered a price of 5,500 taels of silver. There are more than 200 acres of good paddy fields. Ten taels of silver per acre is more than 2,000 taels.

, and the middle field is almost two hundred acres, which costs seven taels of silver per mu, which is one thousand four hundred taels, and the two hundred acres of mountainous land costs five taels of silver per mu, which is one thousand taels of silver. The total here is four

One thousand four hundred taels of silver. The other money is naturally the money for thirty acres of fruit trees and the house to be built. And after all, this is Zhuangzi, there are walls around it, and the fields inside are all connected together, so it is easy to manage.

It takes a little more effort than simply buying land.

The price is quite reasonable. Shopkeeper Sun said that there are quite a few houses inside, all of which are for the slaves in the village. And the small two-entry courtyard for the master's family is even more gorgeous.

We have used good materials, and we have also planted some famous flowers and plants, which are very beautiful. Thirty acres of fruit trees have been planted for several years, and it is time to put them into production.

Unless the owner was in a hurry for money, he would not be willing to sell such a village.

Li Xin felt that the price was acceptable, and she could get the money anyway. She asked shopkeeper Sun to make an appointment with the family, and she also wanted to see the village. If it was really good, it would be settled.

.The purchase has not yet been completed, so Li Xin did not tell Wen Hao and the others, and decided to wait until he saw it.

Two days later, shopkeeper Sun sent a boy to pick them up. Li Xin packed up his things and went out with Yuexiang and Yueting. All the money at home was kept in bracelets. If it looked suitable, he would

You can pay directly. Shopkeeper Sun will also accompany you.

The carriage ran for more than half an hour before it arrived at Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi has convenient transportation, not far from the official road, and the road from the official road to Zhuangzi has been repaired by the owner of Zhuangzi, making it very flat and spacious.

, no worse than the official one. There are also some houses and fertile fields around Zhuangzi, and you can see a harmonious scene. There is a river next to Zhuangzi, with fast currents and a wide channel. This river alone is enough to irrigate the surrounding areas.

The fertile fields of the past land.

There is an earthen wall surrounding Zhuangzi, blocking the outside view.

Entering Zhuangzi, you can see vast tracts of fertile fields. At this time, the autumn harvest has passed and new grains have not been planted yet, so you can only see the original color of the land. Li Xin walked and looked at it carefully.

I checked the soil and found that the fields are very good. Some of the fertile fields next to the river still have some sandy soil, which is good for growing rice and potatoes. Moreover, Zhuangzi is right next to the river, so irrigation is very convenient.

The soil in the mountains is also good. Although it cannot be compared with fertile farmland, it is still pretty good.

Li Xin also went in to take a look at the 30-acre orchard. It had been planted for several years. The fruit trees were all lush and leafy, with large green shade and green color. There were many types of fruit trees, including almost all common fruits in these places.

They are all planted. I think when they bloom in spring, it will be full of clouds and very beautiful! Li Xin even found a piece of pineapple, also known as pineapple. In her previous life, her favorite fruit was pineapple. After coming here, she

I’ve never seen it before! I thought it wasn’t there, but I didn’t expect to see it here.

Li Xin was surprised, but even shopkeeper Sun had never seen such a thing. I guess it is not widely cultivated here! After asking the owner, he found out that a friend of the owner was a sailor and brought it from overseas.

When I got this thing back, I gave some to my friends.

The owner of Zhuangzi ate well, so he planted a few trees. Unexpectedly, the climate here was suitable and they grew very well. He has been planting them for several years, and they have multiplied into large areas.

"We usually eat it at home, but we never sell it." The owner of Zhuangzi said with a smile. He probably grew it because he was grateful for his friend's kindness! He also never thought about making money from it.

After looking around, the owner invited shopkeeper Sun and sisters Li Xin to rest inside the house. Li Xin carefully observed the small courtyard with two entrances. It was indeed very exquisitely built. The house was small and Jiangnan style.

Its characteristics: apricot blossoms, misty rain, Jiangnan, small bridges, flowing water, and people’s homes. I’m afraid they are the reflection of this house.

It is said to be two entrances, but it is also paired with a large garden. The area of ​​each entrance is not small. In addition to the house, it is planted with flowers, grass, and water bottles. It is beautiful and exquisite, and has some garden features. That garden is

It's even more beautiful. The scenery inside is well arranged, with scenery changing every step of the way.

A corridor is built around the garden, and you can walk in the corridor to enjoy the flowers. There are also cobblestone paths in the garden, and the scenery is picturesque when you walk along it. The area of ​​the garden is not very large, but it makes people feel like walking

It's endless. There are high and low flowers and trees, and there are various flower spaces, and there are also flowers and trees such as hibiscus as a hedge. Walking among them, it blocks a lot of sight, and you feel that the area of ​​the garden has become larger.

In the middle of the garden is a two-story waterside pavilion with windows on all sides and a good view. The first floor is a place for people to enjoy, and the second floor is a few cabins for resting. Lotus flowers are planted all over the lake, although there are only a few now.

The lotus leaves and lotus pods were miserable, but you can still feel the beauty of tranquility. There is a corridor leading directly from the shore to the waterside pavilion. Walking on the corridor, you can reach out and pick lotus pods.

There are many kinds of flowers and trees in the garden, but they are not complicated, but just beautiful. There are many kinds of rockeries, ponds, pavilions and water pavilions. Willows, green bamboos, peonies and peonies are everywhere. There are also some hanging on the corridor.

The leaves of Chlorophytum are striped, and there are occasionally tiny white flowers among them. There is a deep tranquility in the courtyard, deep and quiet, like a Taoyuan wonderland after the hustle and bustle.

The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus curls around, like a light mist, making this place more and more like a fairyland. Occasionally, there are a few clusters of chrysanthemums under the fence, the flowers are blooming, and the fragrance is hidden.

After walking around, Li Xin fell in love with this place even more. I guess the owner is also an elegant person who knows how to enjoy! After walking around, he sat down in the hall and the servant served jasmine tea, with small white flowers in the cup.

It stretches in the middle, as if it is slowly opening. The silver needle tea is also slowly stretching, and the silver needle is a little bit like a lotus standing arrow. The tea soup is green, as if the green color of the bamboo leaves outside the window is also reflected inside.

Li Xin did not counter-offer. He found a middleman, signed a contract, and then went to the Yamen to complete all the formalities. After receiving the house deed and title, Li Xin also gave the owner the banknote.
