Chapter 107 Reclamation (1)
Zhao Liu knew that they were coming today and did not go out. Seeing them coming, he smiled and invited him into the house enthusiastically.
Lian Fangzhou had already figured it out last night, and he discussed it with Lian Ze and Ah Jian on the way here. At this time, it was quick to talk to Zhao Liu.
Lian Fangzhou plans to hire 30 young and strong laborers and hire 12 cows. At that time, they will personally watch people work, manage lunch, and pay according to what was agreed before; The masters who raked and hired cattle were two cents a day per person, but two days later than the workers. Zhao Liu, as the middleman, gave them a total of four taels of silver. As for the hired workers, he didn't care how he recruited them.
She only asks that the people Zhao Liu find can work with all their hearts.
Introducing such a business, Zhao Liu, who is the middleman, should get 20 taels of silver from Lian Fangzhou. Lian Fangzhou gave him double the money. He was naturally happy, and he promised to find it for her. Spectator, please rest assured!
The two sides agreed that Zhao Liuhui would take the hired Ren Niu to Shioking Ping the day after tomorrow, and the three of Lian Fangzhou left the Zhao family.
After coming out of Zhao's house, Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "Let's go and see the donkey! If it suits you, buy it today! By the way, I will buy some white noodles, pickles, meat and miso, and I will make lunch for them the day after tomorrow! Buy two more A big tin teapot, when the time comes, I can fill up some hot water and send it to the field."
For lunch, steamed buns and pancakes are the most convenient and affordable, but rice or something is too troublesome.
A Jian and Lian Ze naturally had no objection. The three of them inquired about the location of the livestock market and went over.
Lian Fangzhou doesn't know how to choose livestock, but Ah Jian does.
The seller of livestock saw them and asked if they wanted to buy a donkey, and the seller of the donkey stepped forward and said.
Naturally speaking, it is eloquent, with a lotus-like tongue, and praises its own donkey as a heaven and earth.
Ajian didn't speak, and didn't seem to listen to what the seller said, just went to look at the donkey.
The donkey seller's eyes kept following him, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the parts he was looking at, he couldn't deceive anyone!
The three walked around the livestock market, and finally spent twelve taels of silver to buy a very strong donkey.
"Sister, we also have a donkey in our family!" Lian Ze looked at it so much, he touched the shiny black fur, pulled the long donkey ears, and grinned.
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "I'll leave it to you and Che'er in the future. There's not much forage in winter, so don't let our donkey go hungry! We'll have to buy two big oxen after a while!"
Lian Ze nodded happily, promising that the donkey would never starve.
The three of them laughed and went to the car dealership to look at the car.
There are various styles of cars in the car dealership, you can buy ready-made or custom-made.
Lian Fangzhou didn't want to be too troublesome, and there was no need to customize it, so he spent eight taels of silver on the spot to buy a car that was explained very well by Chinese fir.
This car is different from Liu Jia's. Liu Jia's car was a carriage. The one that Lian Fangzhou and the others bought was mainly for the convenience of transporting things for farm work in the future, so it was an open wooden car, which was more elaborate and sturdier than the rural flatbed car.
The three then went to the blacksmith's shop, and ordered some hoes, shovels, shovels, axes, hatchets, sickles, etc., and the best materials were naturally used.
There is a saying that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. This money cannot be saved, nor should it be saved.
After doing this, the three of them had lunch in the town, bought some odds and ends such as noodles and miso, and then went home.
Ah Jian drove the car very easily. The whip in her hand was raised high and put down gently, making a whirring sound, but it did not land heavily on the donkey. The hand on the other side pulling the reins is even more freely retractable.
Lian Ze sat beside him and looked at him enviously.
A Jian smiled slightly and said to him: "I don't have time today, how about I teach you later?"
"Really? Thank you, Brother Ajian!" Lian Ze was surprised and delighted, and nodded again and again.
When they got home, Lian Che and Lian Fangqing learned that it was their own donkey and donkey cart, and they were happier than Lian Ze. Eye.
After unloading the car, Lian Fangzhou asked Lian Ze to lead the donkey to the backyard to tie it up, and Lian Fangqing and Lian Che also followed along chatting.
The family hadn't raised cattle for many years, and there was no shed for livestock. Lian Ze felt sorry for the donkey again. For fear of freezing at night, he tied it to the corner of the shed against the wall, and came back to talk to Lian Fangzhou. Said to build a barn. "Otherwise, how can it be so cold in winter?"
Naturally, Lian Fangzhou didn't say it was bad, he said with a smile that he would ask someone to come pick him up when he had some free time these days. Not only do we need to build, but we need to build a better one. In addition to the place for livestock, there must be a place for stacking hay and parking cars.
The car was left in the open air, exposed to the wind, rain, and the sun, and it deteriorated quickly.
By the way, the utility shed has also been rebuilt and strengthened, and firewood, farm implements, tools and other miscellaneous things have to be placed somewhere.
Early the next morning, the three Lian Ze brothers and sisters led their donkeys to graze on the river bank next to the village. Lian Fangzhou didn't stop them from smiling so positively, and only told them to wear more clothes.
After breakfast, Lian Fangzhou went to the entrance of the village alone.
There is a small stream that passes around the edge of Dafang Village. The narrowest point is only more than one meter. The shallow stream can be crossed with a higher stone in the middle, and the widest point is only more than three meters. At the entrance of the village, it made a big bend and flowed to the east.
Just at the back of this bend, about ten meters away from the river beach, is a flat barren meadow three or four meters above the creek.
Lian Fangzhou went there for a walk, and looked around. This piece of barren grassland is about 20 mu, and it happens to be backed by a small mountain. There are many camphor trees and wild magpies growing on the mountain.
Entering Dafang Village from the outside and bypassing this hill, you can see the whole picture of Dafang Village. In a certain sense, this hill is the barrier of Dafang Village.
Even Fangzhou has inquired about it, and this wasteland is also a land without owners.
She was thinking about buying the land.
After the cotton harvest next year, it will definitely have to find a place to stack it. Where can there be so much space for stacking in that small home? So you have to build a large row of warehouses here.
In addition to the warehouse, there must be a workshop for processing bolls, a spinning room for spinning cotton yarn, a warehouse for stacking cotton threads, and housing for workers.
If possible in the future, she also wants to build a cotton weaving workshop.
In this way, selling the cotton after processing is of course much more valuable than simply selling the cotton. However, things have to be done step by step. What she is not capable of doing at present is just an idea in her mind, not a plan.
Lian Fangzhou was fascinated when she heard someone shouting "Fangzhou!" behind her. She smiled slightly and knew it was Jane without looking back.
