Chapter 002 Buying a Property(1/2)
[The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like raging, the mountains and rivers are inside and outside the Tongguan Road. Looking at the Western Capital, I feel hesitant. I am sad. Wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into soil. When they prosper, the people suffer; when they die, the people suffer!]
[Main mission: Survive for a lifetime]
[Side mission: If you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your king!]
Looking at the handwriting that appeared on the virtual panel, Wang Zhong couldn't help but wonder. The system seemed to be getting lazier and lazier, and the tasks it gave were getting simpler and simpler. Survive for the rest of his life? Just find a place to survive for the rest of his life.
It’s also called survival!
However, the two words that appeared on the system panel were definitely not for no reason.
Put away your thoughts, put the stewed braised pork into a plate from the kitchen, and put it on the table. The little girl couldn't wait to climb on the little spoon, holding the spoon, and stared at the thing on the table with bright eyes.
A large vat of braised pork.
Looking at the ruddy, crystal-clear and attractive braised pork, and smelling the tangy meat aroma that was so close to Chi Chi, even Mrs. Li couldn't help but swallow her saliva, let alone the little kid Wang Qian'er.
Although the mother and daughter were already extremely greedy, their eyes were still looking at Wang Zhong, waiting for him to take the lead and make a quick move.
"Eat!" Wang Zhong picked up a piece of fat and thin meat with a kuaizi and put it into Wang Qian'er's bowl.
"Thank you, uncle!" Wang Qier immediately picked up the spoon and prepared to take a bite.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"tasty!"
"Mom, eat it quickly!"
The little girl's cheeks were bulging, and the rich aroma of meat exploded in her mouth, stimulating her taste buds. At this moment, the little girl felt that even the sweet caramel was not as delicious as this meat.
Mrs. Li also picked up a piece of braised pork with great anticipation and put it into her mouth. She clicked it lightly with her teeth, and a look of shock immediately appeared on her face.
Fat but not greasy, soft and fragrant, Mr. Li has never tasted such delicious pork in his nearly 20 years of life.
"Uncle, this..."
Seeing Li's shocked expression, Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this meat?"
"It's delicious!" Li took out a piece again with some disbelief, looked at it carefully and asked, "Is this pork?"
"Pig's five-part belly, alternately fat and thin, layered on top of each other, has the best taste."
"I never thought there could be such delicious food in the world!" Ms. Li couldn't help but sigh.
Next to her, her daughter Wang Qian'er was tugging at a piece of pork belly that Wang Zhong had put in her hands and devouring it.
Half a month later, in Baishui Village, thirty miles west of Yangzhou City, and half a mile east of the village, in front of a low hill thirty or forty meters high, planted with bamboos, sat a three-entry house.
A wide dirt road in front of the house leads directly to Baishui Village.
Mr. Li, who had walked around the entire house, still couldn't hide his shock. This house was originally the house owned by Mr. Li in the village. Although Mr. Li's family had already moved to Yangzhou City with his family, Wang Zhong was able to get it from him.
How could I not surprise Mr. Li by buying this house and more than sixty acres of land next to it?
Baishui Village is not big. There are more than 40 families living in Baishui Village, with nearly 300 people. There are more than two surnames in the village, Li and Li, and the remaining ones are a few outsiders. They are Baishui Village who were resettled by the Yamen after fleeing famine in the early years.
Wang Zhong's father was a disaster victim who was resettled in Baishui Village in the past.
Qianhou entered a house with a courtyard. In the front yard lived Zhuangtou Yu Laoshi and his family of seven. The so-called villagers were actually the people who rented the fields in the village in Baishui Village.
This village is called Xiaozhuang, and it was Wang Chong who bought it from Li Yuanwai at a price that was more than twice the market price. From ancient times to the present, fields have been the lifeblood of the people. Although the market price is there, unless it is a last resort,
Who is willing to sell their own land?
"Uncle, this Zhuangzi..."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, this Zhuangzi came from the right place. The deed has been passed by the Yamen, and now the house and land deeds are in our hands." After saying that, Wang Zhong handed a dark wooden box to Mrs. Li.
"What is this?" Li looked at the wooden box and then at Wang Zhong.
"Sister-in-law, you'll know once you open it and take a look!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
The box was not locked. When Li opened the lid, he saw a stack of deeds filled with words, as well as a red book issued by the government office and a large seal on it.
But when Li saw the name clearly written on his deed, he was even more surprised than he could express. He looked at Wang Zhong in confusion, his eyes full of questions.
Wang Zhong raised his hands to Mrs. Li and said: "Sister-in-law, please don't worry. Although my brother is gone, my sister-in-law is still my sister-in-law. I will also love Sister Qian as my biological daughter. My brother has ruined all my sister-in-law's dowry. This Zhuangzi will not be able to do anything in the future."
It is my sister-in-law's body. If my sister-in-law has someone she likes and wants to remarry, this Zhuangzi will be my sister-in-law's dowry."
"Uncle, who do you think I am?" As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Mrs. Li couldn't help but reply: "Since I, Li Sanniang, have married into the Wang family, I will be a member of the Wang family for the rest of my life. Please don't let me remarry again."
carry."
"My brother made a mistake, please don't blame me, sister-in-law!" Wang Zhong quickly bowed his hands to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter who was playing a rattle in the courtyard and said, "I don't have any other hope in this life. I just want to see my second mother grow up safely and marry a good man.
Live a lifetime.”
Wang Qian'er is the second daughter of Mrs. Li and brother Wang Zhongzhong, so she is called the second daughter. Mrs. Li's birth was originally a twin of a dragon and a phoenix. At that time, it was regarded as auspicious by the people in the village, but she never thought that her husband would
But suddenly he became addicted to gambling, and he stopped taking care of the family fields. He drank and played with others every day, and everything in the house was taken care of by Li and Wang Zhong.
But she didn't expect that the house leaked and it rained all night. Her eldest son died of a high fever when he was six months old, and her husband also lost his life. Mrs. Li was heartbroken. If Wang Qian'er's daughter hadn't been there, she would have wanted to die.
Yes.
"I'm going to the front yard to talk to Old Yutou about some things, and I'm going to go for a walk in the fields. Do you want to go with me, sister-in-law?"
"I listen to my uncle." Ms. Li is not a strong woman, on the contrary, she is a bit weak. After her husband passed away, the backbone of the family became her uncle, and Ms. Li gradually developed the attitude of being dominated by Wang Zhong in everything.
habit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I want to go too!" The little girl ran to Wang Zhong at some point, hugged Wang Zhong's legs, and said expectantly.
Wang Zhong smiled and hugged his niece: "Okay, okay! Let's go together!"
Old Yutou was originally from Baishui Village. Due to the death of his parents in his early years, he went to the city to work as a boy in the house of Yuanwai Li. Because of his honest duty and unwilling to leave Baishui Village, Yuanwai Li allowed him to stay and became a servant.
A village head.
Lao Yutou's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, was originally a maid from Li's wife's family. After marrying Lao Yutou, she stayed in Baishui Village with Lao Yutou. Lao Yutou, his wife and children have spent a lot of money over the years and also bought
There were only a few acres of land, but the two sons married wives one after another, and the eldest son gave birth to a granddaughter. The family fortune was gradually emptied. It was impossible to support a large family with only those few acres of land, so in Zhuangzi
We also rented ten acres of paddy fields for farming.
"Uncle Yu!"
"I've met my boss! I've met Madam Li!" Lao Yutou had been a servant before. Although Wang Zhong was a poor man like them before, he is now the master of Zhuangzi, and that is the boss of their family.
Lao Yutou has been working in Zhuangzi for decades and is extremely familiar with every inch of land in Zhuangzi. Dangjie led Wang Zhong and Li out of Zhuangzi, introducing them as they walked.
"There is a small lake south of Zhuangzi, which is also our property. In previous years, we would plant lotus root, water chestnuts and the like."
"Are there any fish in the lake?"
"Yes, but not big!" Old Yutou said: "The old man remembers that the largest grass carp he ever caught was only three or four pounds."
It's said to be a lake, but it's actually just a larger pond.
"The fields by the lake belong to our farm..."
The fields of Xiaozhu Village are right next to the village, surrounding the pond with a radius of only forty or fifty meters and the Xiaozhu Mountain behind the village. It is spread out in all directions, with more than sixty acres of land, which is the size of several football fields.
But if you add in the small bamboo mountain full of bamboo, it will be less.
Around Yangzhou, there are mostly plains washed by rivers. Low hills thirty or forty meters high like Xiaozhu Mountain are rare.
Bypassing Zhushan through the fields and entering Zhuangzi through the back door, Wang Zhong had a tour of the entire Zhuangzi, and Wang Zhong felt confident.
In the evening, Mrs. Li was taking Sister Qian in the courtyard, while Wang Zhong was drawing something on paper with charcoal in the study he had just cleaned up.
The main task given by the system is to survive for a lifetime, but after dealing with the system for so long, Wang Zhong has probably figured out the system's routines. Although the task is simple, it is not that easy to get a high score.
Wang Zhong stayed in the study all night. When he felt sleepy in the second half of the night, he went directly to meditate in the study instead of sleeping.
The Qi training has reached the sixth level, and the Qi in the body is as thick as a river. The pure Qi that has been practiced for nearly a year has the effect of feeding back to the physical body.
After a night of meditation, Wang Zhong not only did not feel tired at all, but he was particularly energetic.
Since arriving in this world, it seems that even the breathing and breathing skills have become smoother.
It's still dark, but the big rooster in the backyard has already started to flutter its wings and raise its head, and crow loudly.
Wang Zhong took out the long sword he used in the world of "Two Flags Town Swordsman" and started practicing in the courtyard. He was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow. When his pace changed, the sword light like splashing ink went with him, and he was impressive.
.
Now that he has Qiancaizhuangzi, his life naturally does not have to be as simple as before. After bathing, changing clothes, and having breakfast, Wang Zhong came to the backyard. Old Yutou had already led a group of villagers to wait for a long time.
Seeing Wang Zhong come out, Lao Yutou hurriedly led a group of villagers to salute Wang Zhong and greet him.
A group of villagers stood in the courtyard, and Wang Zhong stood on the porch with his hands clasped, and said loudly: "Old Yutou must have told everyone that the harvest has passed this autumn, and it is the slack time for farming. I want to carry out large-scale construction in the village and need a lot of manpower.
, The daily wages for strong men above fifteen and below fifty are fifteen cents, and for women, ten cents per day, and two meals per day. If anyone is willing to come, you can sign up at Lao Yutou."
"Fifteen cents a day, two meals a day, does my boss really mean what he said?"
"One day, you can get money after you finish the work. The premise is that you can't cheat and fish in troubled waters."
"Don't worry, boss, we are all honest people!"
"I regestrated!"
