Chapter 67 Buying land at the end of the year
After dinner, Li Tutu came with Aunt Li. They also brought a large piece of meat.
"Come in quickly, it's very cold outside. Tianbao will bring Tutu into your room and sit on the kang to get warm." Yang Xu quickly welcomed the two of them in and poured hot water for them.
After drinking hot water, Yang Xu asked Tianbao to take Tutu to his room, and the two children talked together.
"Oh, the weather is getting colder and colder." Aunt Li said while drinking hot water.
"Yes! You came here and brought meat with you. Aren't your hands freezing when you carry things?"
"Oh, our two families have a good relationship. My Tutu eats Tianbao's snacks every day, which makes me feel embarrassed. This meat is also leftover from today's sale. The meat is good meat. You can eat it at home."
Aunt Li was really embarrassed. The two families had a good relationship, and the head of the family had known Wang Dayi for a long time.
But these snacks are rare and can only be eaten once or twice. This snack foodie in my family eats Tianbao's snacks every day. It's useless even if I say it, and I have no choice but to let him go. But I am embarrassed after all.
"Hey, it's nothing. Tianbao and Tutu have a good relationship. I made this snack myself. It's not a rare thing. We can just eat it together." Yang Xu said with a smile.
"That's what you said. The snacks you make are unique and you can't even buy them outside."
Aunt Li wasn't just praising Yang Xu, she was telling the truth. This girl's craftsmanship is nothing to say!
Even if you don't open a breakfast shop, you can still sell well if you open a snack shop.
The two chatted and laughed for a while before Aunt Li explained her purpose.
"This kid came back and threatened to come to your house. He said he wanted a scarf. I was so angry. I don't understand this politeness!"
That kid came home from school and didn't even eat. He just wanted to run over to get a scarf. But he stopped him. It was already dinner time, so why did he have the nerve to run away from someone else's house!
After forcing him to have dinner at home and explain what was going on, Aunt Li brought him over.
Originally, Aunt Li didn't want him to come. This Tianbao thing must have been given to him by Tianbao because he was a beggar and insisted on it. And he didn't give anything to him, so he had to go to his house to get it.
Not a bandit!
Aunt Li was almost furious. It's not that Li Tutu has a bad character, he is just a simple idiot! He is not sensible at all. Tianbao is also eight years old. At the same age, Tianbao is not only good at reading, but also very knowledgeable.
polite.
Hey! They are all other people's children, and I don't know how Xu Yatou taught them.
"Hey, they are both children, and I think Tutu is very cute. Children are like that. And Tianbao said he would give him the scarf, so he gave it to him. It was nothing. I was planning to knit another pair of gloves for Tutu.
!"
"This kid can't be spoiled. He doesn't know any manners. I came here this time just to ask how these scarves and gloves are made. I'll see if I can learn from them, and then I'll make them for him."
"Okay, I happen to have some knitting yarn ready. I'll teach my aunt. It won't be difficult once you get started."
Yang Xu taught Aunt Li. After all, Aunt Li was also good at needlework. After teaching a few steps, she was almost able to get started.
Finally, Aunt Li asked how the wool was made, and then went home. Not wanting to trouble Yang Xu anymore, she planned to knit gloves and scarves for Li Tutu by herself.
Yang Xu couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Even though Li Tutu didn't get his beloved scarf, he almost cried, but Aunt Li repeatedly promised that it would be done for him within two days, so he reluctantly agreed.
…
It's New Year's Eve in ten days, and Tianbao's school will be on holiday.
Yipinxiang also distributed a large amount of silver to Yang Xu. In half a year, Yang Xu distributed more than two hundred taels of silver!
In addition to the money earned from the Zaozhan shop for five months, and some leftover from the past, the family now has nearly 400 taels of silver.
Wang Dayi has been asking about the neighboring villages in the village, and even whether there is any land for sale in the town.
I also bought three acres of land in the village next door for less than one hundred taels.
Wang Dayi wants to buy land in the town so that it will be more convenient to manage.
It happened that Wang Dahu heard the news and came to ask Wang Dayi.
"That rich man in town, Zhang, doesn't have hundreds of acres of land at home? He hires people to work and leases the land to others, so he has a huge fortune. It's a pity that he raised a prodigal son."
Wang Dahu runs a gambling house, so he must have first-hand information.
The son of Rich Man Zhang was a second-generation ancestor who was lazy and loved to gamble. He hung out in gambling houses every day.
I lost my temper a few days ago and spent all my money. I also lost all the money I stole from home. And then I still owe a lot of debt, probably one or two thousand taels of silver. Everyone has lied to me. If
If he doesn't pay back the money, his legs will be broken.
Rich Man Zhang's son is considered a local gangster in the town, but the other party is the mayor's nephew, so he doesn't dare to confront him head-on, and after all, he owes the money first.
Then he could only go home and cry for his father and mother, begging Rich Man Zhang to save him. Rich Man Zhang only had such a son, and even if he was so angry that he could not watch his only son being beaten to a disability.
The family had lost all their money and had no choice but to sell the land.
"My news is absolutely reliable, and it's first-hand information. Because I'm in a hurry for money, one acre of land in the suburbs costs twenty taels of silver. This is a rare bargain."
"How much land does he plan to sell?" Wang Dayi asked.
"The land in the suburbs is for sale for about 100 acres! There are other places, but I think the land in the suburbs is the best! I have discussed it with my old man and plan to buy ten acres of land. Brother Dayi, what do you plan to do?
How much do you want to buy?"
"I plan to buy fifteen acres of land." Wang Dayi knew about the land in the suburbs. Not only was it fertile land, it was also rare that it was not far from their home.
The family has less than 400 taels of silver. If they buy fifteen acres of land, they can still have dozens of taels left over, which is enough for the family.
Wang Dahu was surprised that fifteen acres of land cost three hundred taels of silver. Although he knew that the Dayi brothers' family had shares in Yipinxiang and opened a breakfast shop, he did not expect that his family would have so much money!
Three hundred taels is not a small amount of money, and his family just bought the house and the shop on the street this year. It also cost a lot of money.
Wang Dahu didn't ask much. He was just a little surprised, but he didn't mean anything else. After all, his family was also very nice.
"Then have you decided? If you have, we will buy it as soon as possible. Otherwise, others will know about it soon, and we may not be able to buy it later."
Wang Dayi nodded. He had discussed this matter with Xu'er before. Xu'er said that all the money at home would be reserved for buying land. A few dozen taels of money would be enough for emergencies.
