Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

As soon as the matter was settled, the people brought by Lai Bricklayer hurriedly started working.

Although Carpenter Lai didn't like being caught by a little girl, Xia Bai'an was also a smart and capable person.

They worked as a group, and Xia Bai'an wrapped up their meals, which even looked a little greasy.

A group of men stared wide-eyed, even if they went to work in the big family's house in Qingshan Town, they couldn't eat a little oil and water, and they mostly sent them off with some wild vegetables and noodles.

Now I didn't expect to have such a meal in Yunmai Village. When I was working in the afternoon, I was more energetic than the next.

Carpenter Lai couldn't help but said: "I'm not willing to give money, but I am very willing to give food."

"Money is the rule, food is etiquette." Xia Bai'an said with a smile, and then asked Lai Majiang, "Seeing that you don't work in the afternoon and are preparing for a break, why don't you chat with me about the things in Qingshan Town?"

Carpenter Lai had nothing to do, so he took out the pipe again, and sat with Xia Bai'an on the small stool under the eaves.

"What do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask about the weather here, and what kind of livelihood is still lacking in Qingshan Town."

When Xia Bai'an asked this question, he also had his own thoughts in his heart.

Laiwajiang can step on the spot, and immediately ask people to stock up here after the rainstorm. It can be seen that he knows the weather here very well, so he can judge the time when the rain will stop in time.

And if he was able to work for the government office, he knew that he had a wide network, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get such a good deal.

Ask him what kind of livelihood he lacks, and he will definitely be able to find out a little bit.

Sure enough, Mason Lai squinted his eyes and told him: "Our Qingshan town is full of fertile land for fifty miles, and the rain is suitable. Although it is cold in winter, it is not so hot in summer. The next few villages rely on farming. .”

Xia Bai'an wrote them down one by one.

"However, when it comes to making a living, a few days ago, I heard people from Jishitang say that there are not many people around here who can read, and there are not many medicine farmers who know medicinal materials. They can only get some by borrowing people from other places to come and buy. The medicinal materials are in short supply."

After Laiwajiang finished speaking, he immediately thought of something and laughed out loud, "Hey, why am I telling you this, I heard that you don't even have a doctor in Yunmai Village, and you don't even know the medicinal materials, so how can you plant them? ah."

Xia Bai'an laughed a few times.

But she was not going to throw her hole cards to outsiders, she just said: "Is there any other way of making a living?"

"Just plant the land."

Carpenter Lai took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of smoke, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned around, "By the way, I still have a piece of land here, Madam, do you want it?"

"Where?"

"It's by the river behind your village." Lai Bricklayer said here, but he became interested, "At the beginning, he was a person who owed me money, and he didn't pay the silver. The money paid to me was far away from Qingshan Town. I I have not taken care of it all the time, if you want it, I will sell it to you cheaply, how about it?"

not so...

The corner of Xia Bai'an's mouth twitched.

The two of them were tearing each other down just now, if this is really a good piece of land, Lai Majiang would definitely not take the initiative to mention it to himself, and it is too late to sell it for a good price, so how could he tell himself.

Here, it is clear that there is a problem.

but……

Xia Bai'an thought that there was only a vegetable garden behind his house, not to mention the small land, and it was far away from the river, so watering would be a problem.

And he just mentioned that the business of Jishitang needs medicinal materials, so why would she buy a piece of land to grow it?

After thinking about it, Xia Bai'an got up: "Go and have a look first."

"Row."

Carpenter Lai insisted, Xia Bai'an called Xiuhong from the next door to help look after the child, but Mo Xue clamored to go together, so she had no choice but to take Mo Xue, turned around and followed Carpenter Lai to the small river behind.

As soon as he arrived, Mo Xue firmly grabbed Xia Bai'an's hand, his face turned pale.

Xia Bai'an was puzzled: "Why are you suddenly angry?"

"This is the land you sold before."

"..."

Xia Bai'an was dumbfounded for a moment.

That's right, didn't the original owner sell more than ten acres of fertile land in order to sneak into Qingshan Town and become a noble lady?

So she smiled dryly against Mo Xue's resentful eyes: "It's not too late to buy it now."

"Waste of money."

"..."

Xia Bai'an couldn't persuade Xiao Douding well, so she had to look at the ground first, and her expression immediately changed.

She bent down, pinched the ground, and frowned: "I said Mason Lai, why do you only do this kind of business? The land that has been burned by fire is not good for growing crops!"

The smile on Carpenter Lai's face couldn't hold back: "I said Madam Mo, your eyes are probably sharper than those of some farmers, can you tell from that?"

Xia Bai thought to himself, an accident happened when you were not doing the experiment, and you almost set fire to the mountain and went to prison.

A similar thing happened to her former classmates, so she could recognize at a glance that there was a problem here.

Xia Bai'an let out a long sigh.

Should this mason be said to be reliable or unreliable.

This land is close to the river, but if she really bought the burned land, she might have to use the nourished soil in the space, add some nutrient solution, and mix it with some soil from other places. use.

"I've already seen it. Tell me, how do you talk about this business?"

"Well, I don't owe you such a big place, how about renting it to you for three taels a year?" Lai Bricklayer coughed a few times.

Three taels of silver!

Grab money!

Xia Bai'an frowned and shook his head: "Eight taels of silver, I bought this land."

"That's impossible! At least 20 taels!"

"Nine taels."

"18 taels."

"Ten taels!" After Xia Bai'an said these two words, he said again, "This land has been burned, no matter which farmers come here, I'm afraid they won't rent it or buy it."

Carpenter Lai almost didn't bring it up in one breath: "It's too low."

"Then we can't talk about it."

Xia Bai'an picked up Mo Xue with one hand, and made a gesture to walk towards Yunmai Village at the foot of the mountain, muttering, "Looking at the burning of this land, I have to tell the villagers, don't buy and rent randomly. ..."

"..."

Carpenter Lai almost spit out a mouthful of blood, this land is so close to Yunmai Village, if people in the village don't rent or buy it, this land will fall into their hands!

He quickly caught up with Xia Bai'an.

"I said Ma'am, you take this land away for ten taels of silver, and I will bring the land deed here tomorrow, will it work?"

"It's easy to say, let's give the brothers extra meals later in the evening."

Xia Bai'an nodded with a smile, and walked down the mountain with Mo Xue in his arms, without any intention of continuing to look at the ground.

Laiwajiang followed him down the mountain.

In the evening, Xia Bai'an went to pick out a few eggs for his brothers to fry. Mason Lai was still beating his chest, saying that he lost two orders a day, but before leaving, Xia Bai'an smiled and caught a chicken and stuffed it for him: "We In business, it is best for no one to lose money."

A chicken is not cheap, it is still an old hen that can only lay eggs.

Carpenter Lai's face softened in an instant, he just held the chicken and sighed again and again: "Mrs. Mo, I have convinced you. I knew you were going to beat me with a stick and give me back a sweet date, but I still eat this. "

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Bai'an still showed his white teeth with a smile, "This is what I call being sincere."
