Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 373 Today's Second Zhuangzi is also good

This village also has a wall, but it is not very good, just an ordinary wall, and it is very old. But it is better to have it than not to have it.

They walked along a path to the gate, which was not closed. Several people were standing at the gate, discussing something. When they approached, someone saw their carriage and said something, and then they fell silent.

They all looked at Su He and the others. Song Bai knew the people inside, so he walked over to a man in his fifties and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, we are here to see the manor. Do you have time?"

Li Zhuangtou said quickly: "Yes, yes, let's go in and talk."

After that, he turned to the others and said, "Don't talk about it today. When the farm is sold, you can talk to the new owner. Let's just hope the new owner comes soon!"

As they walked in, Songbai asked casually, "What are you discussing? I hope it won't disturb you! If it's inconvenient, don't say it."

Li Zhuangtou smiled bitterly and said, "We are all going to be sold. What is there to hide? It was all the food we harvested in the spring, and the owner took it away for urgent use. Now it's almost winter, and there is not enough food for everyone, and the owner doesn't care about us. Even if the farm is to be sold, we can't starve now!"

"Everyone is talking to me about this. Some of them want to go to the city to find the owner and ask him to give us some food on credit. The adults can go hungry, but the children are still young and can't stand it!"

Su He listened to them talking. This village head was a good person. He would not lie to cover up for his master. He would tell the truth.

They came to the farm together. The courtyard here was quite standard. Since the place was theirs, it had five courtyards.

The last courtyard is accessed through the back door instead of the front door. Two families live there, and they are said to be the first two families to buy the house.

Li Zhuangtou lived in the side yard at the front, so that he could help look after the house for the master. This was also the way most Zhuangzi lived, even if the master did not come, the servants in the main house could not live there.

Li Zhuangtou poured them a cup of tea and said politely, "Let's take a break and then go to the farm. The land on the farm is good land. The farmers on the farm are willing to work hard and the land is fertile."

Su He's father couldn't sit still either, he drank the tea in one breath, and said with a smile: "Li Zhuangtou, please take us to have a look! I can't sit still either, I thought we can sit down and chat after we finish the show."

Li Zhuangtou was also a straightforward person. He stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look. I will not hide anything you want to ask."

Several people walked out of the yard while talking. The fields here are really good. Su He's father squatted down at the edge of the field and reached out to grab a handful of soil. The soil was black and soft, and it was obviously a fertile field.

He went to check other plots and found that they were all of this type of land. Su He's father was even more satisfied. He bought the farm for the land. Only good land can produce high grain yields. If he added his own three-dimensional breeding, it would be even better.

Su He looked at the trees in the manor, and there were really not many of them. If he wanted to buy this place, he would need to plant more trees in the spring. Fruit trees are indispensable for Su He's three-dimensional farming, but fortunately there are several wells here, which makes watering much more convenient.

This farm is also better than the first one. If you buy the first farm, you have to spend money to build a wall. It looks inconspicuous, but the investment is not small. At least here there is a wall, so you don’t have to worry about it for a while.

Su He's father and Su He went to the side to discuss it. This manor is also OK, so let's buy it! The price is more expensive than Daxing Manor, 650 taels, the area is larger than that one, and the construction is not as good as there. Overall, it's acceptable. Daxing Manor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it's impossible for all to be like that.

Su He's father asked Li Zhuangtou about the price, and he said apologetically: "I can't make the decision on this. You need to discuss it with my master."

When Su He's father heard what was going on, he smiled and said, "Then we won't bother Li Zhuangtou anymore. Let's go back to town and discuss it with your master."

Li Zhuangtou said very attentively: "I see that you are a man who understands farming. I hope your family can buy this farm. We can also meet a kind owner."
