The next day, the sunlight streamed in through the window and spread neatly on the ground, laying a warm blanket on the ground.
There were insects chirping outside the window, and Ye Chuqiu finally got up from the bed. Sleeping in the mountains was not as good as at home. Although she placed a trap next to her tent, it was still not as safe as at home. So after she returned home,
I actually slept until early morning.
Outside, voices came one after another. Ye Chuqiu sat in front of the mirror, combed his hair, woke up, and then came out of the back room.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake."
As soon as she came out, Li Youmei and others instantly stood up and greeted her in the main room.
"Um."
Ye Chuqiu nodded slightly to them and walked to the water shelf. Seeing her actions, Zhao Hehua also came over with hot water and gave her face wash. Then he walked to the cupboard, brought the food and put it on
Heat on the stove.
After Ye Chuqiu washed his face and went back to the house to apply lard ointment and other skin care products, breakfast was just warm and served on the table.
"Mom, I cooked you a bowl of egg and sugar water this morning, as well as egg pancakes and a side dish. Try it and see if you like it." Zhao Hehua handed the chopsticks to her and asked diligently.
Ye Chuqiu tasted a piece of egg pancake first and nodded in praise, "Not bad, very delicious."
"Sister-in-law, how good is your breakfast?"
Li Youmei looked at Ye Chuqiu's food from the side, feeling indescribably sour in her heart. Oh my God, this standard of living is just that of an old lady from a rich family, right? More importantly, look at her.
Daughter-in-law, this service is too attentive, isn't it?
Look at my daughter-in-law, she is still related to me, but she is not so respectful to me.
"It's not just ginseng and abalone, it's just a home-cooked dish for ordinary people."
Ye Chuqiu replied, took a mouthful of eggs, and then drank a mouthful of sugar water. The warm and sweet liquid flowed into his throat, and a warmth immediately rose from his stomach. Ye Chuqiu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look on his face.
of comfortable enjoyment.
Li Youmei, Chai Chunfang, Lin Qingyun, Qingshi and others were all around. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the look of enjoyment on Ye Chuqiu's face.
"You guys came here early this morning. Have you eaten?"
Ye Chuqiu had almost eaten the food, and then asked slowly.
"I've eaten all of them." Lin Qingyun replied quickly.
"Sister-in-law is really lucky. I didn't expect that Lotus's craftsmanship is so good. This egg pancake smells delicious." Li Youmei praised.
"Yes, yes." Chai Chunfang also nodded.
"My mother taught me this skill, and the food I cooked before was just mediocre." Zhao Hehua said humbly after hearing the praise from her elders.
Ye Chuqiu finished the last piece of egg pancake and then asked Zhao Hehua to put away the bowl and chopsticks, "I'm full."
Zhao Hehua took away the bowls and chopsticks, wiped the table, and poured her a cup of hot tea. Li Youmei and others looked at it and couldn't help complaining in their hearts that she was so extravagant and fussy about having breakfast.
But this time they came here to ask for something from her, so although she was very particular, she didn't dare to say anything and just waited honestly.
After Ye Chuqiu finished drinking tea, he asked, "By the way, what do you want from me?"
"It's not about making a living." Lin Qingyun said aloud: "Both of our families are starving to death now, and my mother takes the children up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to eat every day."
"It's good to dig wild vegetables. There are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains. I dug a lot of them when I went into the mountains this time." Ye Chuqiu replied.
"Sister-in-law..."
Hearing what Ye Chuqiu said, Lin Qingyun had no choice but to say again: "We came here this time just to get some words from you. Didn't you say before that you would teach us the craft? We want to learn it. There is another one, and we also want to buy two pieces."
We are all farmers, so we can’t do without the land.”
"I can teach you crafts, I can also buy land."
Ye Chuqiu nodded, "Have you asked around the village if anyone wants to sell their land?"
"Last year, my mother asked someone to inquire. Several families in the village had signs of selling their land. As long as we talk about it again, we will definitely be able to negotiate." Lin Qingyun said.
"Then you didn't ask, why do people want to sell their land when they are so good?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"Asked."
Li Youmei on the side interjected: "There is a man named Qin Laogen in the village. His family has two sons. He plans to sell an acre of land to marry his son.
There was also an old man Jiang. His daughter was attracted by a family selling oil in Andong City. Old man Jiang thought that the man was from the city and wanted to sell an acre of land to provide a dowry for his daughter, so as not to be looked down upon by the man.
There is also a man named Qu Daniu. His mother-in-law is seriously ill and the family has been taking medicine. He also plans to sell two acres of land to treat his mother-in-law's illness.
There is also a little rogue named Lezi. I heard that he lost money in the city and his family still has two acres of land, which he may sell."
Hearing this, Ye Chuqiu couldn't help but say, "Second brother and sister, you are very familiar with the affairs of Lin'an Village. I didn't expect that so many people in this small Lin'an Village want to sell their land."
"Yes, in our village before, no villagers would sell their land for several years." Lin Qingyun couldn't help but say.
"Not necessarily." Ye Chuqiu shook his head, "Although no one in Linjia Village has sold land for several years, in just a few years, almost all the land in the village has been sold."
"Yeah, it's all that damn drought. If I had known it, we should have sold the fields. Who knew the drought would last so long? We still have more than ten acres of fields in our hometown." Thinking of the more than ten acres of fields in his hometown, Lin
Qingyun became more and more reluctant to give up.
"Lusu City is thousands of miles away from here. It's not impossible to go back. It's just that since we haven't gone home for so long, those fields may have been occupied by others." Ye Chuqiu said.
"well……"
Thinking of this, Lin Qingyun sighed again.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since someone is selling land in the village, you should go and have a good talk with them." Ye Chuqiu said, "If you don't have enough money to buy the land, I can lend it to you."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Upon hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, the two brothers Lin Qingyun were immediately grateful.
"But I don't have much money left. I can only buy a few acres of land. Don't take everything for me." Ye Chuqiu reminded again.
She still has more than two hundred taels of silver in her hand, most of which she earned by asking Huang Tiesheng to sell "Shark Tears". Only a few taels of silver were earned from selling braised meat before.
Because Huang Tiesheng sold too much, Huang Tiesheng also became suspicious. He knew that her so-called ancestral treasure was definitely not an ancestral treasure. This so-called "mermaid's tears" was probably not that precious. If it was really that precious,
She would not give it to herself again and again and let herself sell it.
However, for the sake of money, Huang Tiesheng still cooperated with Ye Chuqiu, but the sales process became more and more careful. Most of the time, he went to the pawn shop instead of going to the buyer with great fanfare like before.
The pawnshops are all scammers, and the sea blue pearl cannot be sold at a high price. Most of the time, it is good to sell it for twenty or thirty taels of silver. After a 50-50 split, Ye Chuqiu can get a dozen or so taels.
But Ye Chuqiu doesn't care, because she still has a large box of glass beads, at least a few hundred. If she can sell them at a high price, she can sell them at a high price. It doesn't matter if she can't, as long as she can exchange them for some money.
Now that Ye Chuqiu had found a way to make money, she no longer valued the sale of glass beads so much, so she also planned to terminate her cooperation with Huang Tiesheng.
It happened that Huang Tiesheng had the same idea as her. This time when he went to escort the escort after the new year, he didn't go out of his way to tell Ye Chuqiu. His behavior was a tactful way of telling Ye Chuqiu his choice.
The two hundred taels of silver on hand were Ye Chuqiu's start-up capital for buying land. If they really found a seller for the second or third house, she would still be willing to lend it to them if the difference was dozens of taels.
The only two sons in her family, Lin Dahu and Lin Erhu, could do heavy work, and she was a little reluctant to overwork them. It didn't matter if her family bought less than two acres of land. Anyway, she took her time, and becoming a landlord was not something she could achieve overnight.
With Ye Chuqiu's promise, the second and third families went to the village to contact people and talk about buying land. Brothers Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi were both old farmers, and they could talk about the price of the land.
They were good at it, but they asked several families who wanted to sell their land. Although the talks were pretty good in the early stage, they always failed in the end.
After a few times, the Lin Qingyun brothers naturally knew that someone was causing trouble, and the two brothers were very troubled by this.
