Chapter 242 Xu Zhiming's Taboo
As the richest man in Powei Village, Xu Zhiming owned 150 acres of land with many types and varieties, which attracted Lintian.
Lin Tian felt that it was necessary to take over Xu Zhiming's land to solve the shortage of goods in his store.
Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of person this person who lived so transparently was like.
Xu Mao called Xu Zhiming, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Lin Tian: "Xu Zhiming said he is at home now and we can go there.
By the way, let me tell you a little bit, Xu Zhiming is good at everything, but he has a taboo. If he touches taboo topics, his friends are not allowed to do it.
When you go to his house, don't mention anything about the child."
Lin Tian subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaoguo and Xiao Le in the rearview mirror. They were playing happily.
"Except for children, what kind of taboo is this?"
Xu Mao lowered his voice to prevent the two children in the back seat from hearing.
"Although Xu Zhiming is very rich, he and his wife have been married for many years and have not had children.
I don’t know why, but everyone said that he and his wife were infertile.
You know, rural people are the most gossipy.
Those people often care about Xu Zhiming and his wife, introducing them to prescriptions and asking them to do all kinds of magical things.
Over the years, Xu Zhiming and his wife have grown tired of it, to the point where they kick people out whenever they hear someone mention this matter.
This is his taboo, just be careful not to mention it."
After hearing this, Lin Tian finally understood.
Thirty-five years old, at such an old age, without having a child in a rural area, he is indeed an anomaly.
Not long after Lin Tiancai graduated from college, he was urged to find a girlfriend and get married.
If it is really infertility, it should be a pity that Xu Zhiming is so rich but has no children.
However, maybe Xu Zhiming and his wife are a DINK couple, and this is also their free choice.
Lin Tian nodded and said, "Okay, I won't talk about this while I'm here."
Under the leadership of Xu Mao, Lin Tian drove the car to the door of Xu Zhiming's house.
When he heard Xu Mao say before that Xu Zhiming's home was an eight-story building, he was just a little surprised.
When he actually arrived in front of the building, he was completely shocked.
The eight floors of Xu Zhiming's building are decorated in a very elegant style, with various antique elements, carved railings and jade inlays, and all that can be seen are precious woods.
It's just ancient style, but in front of him is an eight-story building. Lin Tian has never seen such a tall building in ancient times.
People who don't know, may think they have arrived at some historical site.
Well, I have learned a lot.
Xu Zhiming's house stands out among others in Powei Village, like a dazzling star.
It’s not that the other buildings in Powei Village are bad, it’s just that compared to Xu Zhiming’s house, they are very inconspicuous.
There are cement roads extending in all directions in Powei Village. The streets are clean and tidy, and there are many green flowers and plants. I just saw a small park in the forest.
Although Powei Village is smaller than Sanhe Village, its living standard seems to be better than Sanhe Village.
Xu Mao added: "Xu Zhiming is quite a good person. He has made a lot of contributions to the village over the years, and the people of Powei Village have made a lot of money following him.
You know, the best thing about Xu Zhiming is that he captures information accurately.
The purchasing price of crops varies every year. For example, if you plant sweet potatoes, they may be rotten in the ground and no one will harvest them this year, but they will be sown next year.
But Xu Zhiming can guess right every time and roughly knows which crops will fetch high prices in which year.
Even if everyone loses money every year, he can still make money.
He is really talented in this area and deserves all the money he makes."
Lin Tian nodded.
"This is indeed a talent!"
Farmers always make profits and losses. Many people will follow the trend of planting crops, but few can be sure that they will get it right. Even if it is right this year, it will not be right next year.
If we could know roughly which crops were profitable every year, the wealth would be huge if we accumulated so much land.
Xu Zhiming is indeed a powerful person.
"Since he can predict so accurately, it would be great if everyone follows his lead. Wouldn't everyone make money in this way?"
Xu Mao shook his head.
"This is too difficult. Because Xu Zhiming grows so many types every year, he can't tell which one will definitely make money. It would be too troublesome to manage them all if he had to follow him.
Moreover, we guessed this pattern behind our backs, and he never said that he was good at catching it.
He may have planted ten types of crops, and three or four of them will have a higher purchase price.
As far as I know, one year, when everyone was following the trend of growing peppers, Xu Zhiming planted most of the carrots in the field. When the harvest came, he got the money and started building a house. Everyone else was so embarrassed that they cried without tears.
.
But the next year, when he mainly grew peppers, no one dared to take risks with him. As a result, the price of peppers was average, but he could still make a profit.
How can I say this? They all say that the ancestor Xu Zhiming was buried well and that there was smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, so he had such good luck."
Lin Tian Mingjue Li, such an influential figure really needs to be seen.
Xu Mao said to Xiao Le: "Xiao Le, take sister Xiao Guo to play in the park there. It will be boring for the adults to talk to us later, so there is no need to follow her."
Xiao Le nodded seriously, then took Lin Xiaoguo and ran to play.
The two little girls were staring at the small park in the car, and they whispered that they wanted to go on the swings.
Watching them walk away, Xu Mao gave a bitter smile and said to Lin Tian: "I won't bring the child into the house. Xiao Le can speak freely so as not to accidentally violate his taboo."
Lin Tian smiled, he understood Xu Mao's intentions.
The door opened and Xu Mao shouted inside.
"Is Brother Zhiming at home? We are here."
A voice came from inside.
"Amao, come in!"
Basically every household in rural areas has this habit. When someone is at home, the door will not be closed. You can just say hello and visit. Some people are even so familiar that they even skip the step of saying hello.
Lin Tian followed Xu Mao and walked in.
As soon as you look into the open space, you can see an ancient-style pavilion under a big banyan tree. There is a man and a woman sitting in the pavilion.
The man is peeling walnuts for the woman. There is a fruit platter on the solid wood root carving table. The woman is playing with her mobile phone and eating fruit.
Lin Tian thought that rich people would put a little more effort into their image. Living in such a luxurious and antique-style home, they should dress in antique style, but Xu Mao and his wife were just an ordinary rural couple.
Xu Mao smiled and said, "Brother Zhiming, didn't you go out to work today?"
Xu Zhiming raised his head and glanced at Xu Mao, his eyes quickly passing over Lin Tian's face.
"I have called people to spray pesticides a long time ago. I have been busy lately and I wanted to call your people to help, but you are always unavailable."
