Lin Mo contracted this barren mountain after careful consideration.
Although this barren hill is a 'mountain', it is actually slightly higher than other places in the village. Although the hill is surrounded by bushes, the overall terrain is relatively flat. Once it is developed and managed well, it will not be inferior to those fertile fields in the village. In the previous life, this barren hill remained empty until a few years later, when it was developed by a foreign boss to plant fruit trees. Because the land was cheap, it was said that he made a lot of money.
He chose to contract this barren mountain partly because of this reason, and more importantly, to reduce later troubles and conflicts.
Although contracts are always signed for contracting land, in Qingtong Village, the average land per capita is only one mu or two mu. He wants to contract hundreds of mu of land in one go, and it is impossible to go door-to-door to each person to sign the contract. It is to sign a unified contract directly through the village chief, and there will inevitably be nitpicking moths in the village. If a large amount of money is invested at that time, today this house will raise the price, tomorrow the other house will clamor to take back the land, and you can directly use the contract to talk about things with people you don’t know. Will be poked in the spine.
He doesn't care what these people think or think, but can grandma and dad not care
However, it is not a good idea to rashly go to a foreign country to contract land before cultivating reliable manpower.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Lin Mo decided to contract this barren mountain. First, the barren hill has a large area, which can meet his current requirements for testing the water; second, the barren hill belongs to the collective land of the village, and has never been distributed to anyone. Now he has invested a lot of money to develop it, and he also pays annual Everyone in the village is happy to see a contract fee in the village. Even if someone talks about the low rent in the future, he will have something to say.
Moreover, he believes that after this barren mountain is developed, as long as people from the village are often hired to help with farming, and the remuneration is not bad for everyone, he believes that the vast majority of people will not only have no objections, but will support him.
Lin Changqing obviously didn't think so—that barren mountain has been barren for many years, and no one thought about it in the 1980s and 1990s. What money can Lin Mo make from that mountain? This kid is still young, so don't be fooled.
"Lin Mo, you are young and don't know. Except for a thin layer of mud on the surface, the bottom of that mountain is full of rocks. You can't grow vegetables. Don't be fooled. If you really want to contract land to grow vegetables, You are optimistic about which fields, you tell the third grandpa, and the third grandpa will definitely help you to contract the land." Lin Changqing said earnestly.
He has already heard from his son that Lin Mo and Han Xun are going to jointly open a hot pot restaurant, but he does not approve of Lin Mo contracting the land to grow vegetables and sell them in his own store. Originally, the price of vegetables is cheap. Lin Mo really wants to contract the land and hire someone to take care of it. The cost of going back and forth is probably more expensive than buying from outside. The dishes may not be fully available in the market. Why bother to do such a thankless thing? ? What's more, he has to contract the barren hills of Laoshizi, which can't be developed with 30,000 to 20,000 yuan. If he really wants to invest 100,000 to 200,000 yuan to open a piece of barren hills to grow vegetables, he might as well use the money to buy another shop. operate.
Lin Mo knew that Lin Changqing was planning for him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Third Grandfather, no one lied to me. I didn't contract the barren hills alone. Where did I get so much money? Brother Han thought it was pretty good after reading it. Contract it and plant it for fun." What Lin Mo said was not a lie, he just changed the concept secretly, replacing the person who looked at the barren mountain with Han Xun, so as to dispel Lin Changqing's doubts, and took advantage of Han Xun's momentum to block the village someone's mouth.
After all, Lin Changqing is more knowledgeable than other people in the village. How can he not recognize that Han Xun is driving a Daben? Such a high-end imported car has never been seen in Jincheng, and even in L County. . Han Xun can afford such a good car, how can he be short of money? Isn't developing a barren mountain as simple as a joke for him? If he can really contract and develop that barren mountain, it will be a great thing for him and the village!
Lin Changqing's heart moved, and he took a puff of cigarette: "Xiao Mo, you have to find out with the third grandfather, what exactly is going on in Han Xun's family? Don't worry too much, the third grandfather has no other intentions. I see that your family is old and young. Xiao is a responsible person, and I don't want you to suffer."
Lin Mo's heart warmed up, he knew that Lin Changqing was really thinking about them, if he still concealed it now, it would really chill the old man's heart.
"Third Grandpa, you are not an outsider. Let me tell you the truth. Brother Han's family is a big family in country M. He is very powerful in country M and country Z. His elder brother is in charge of his family. Now he wants to return to China to develop .Opening a hot pot restaurant and farming are all projects he has tried, so don't worry."
Lin Changqing laughed immediately after hearing this: "I'm relieved to hear you say that, but are you sure you really want to contract that barren mountain?" Oh boy, Han Xun's background is so big!
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Anyway, Brother Han is just playing around, so let's make some contributions to our village."
Now that Lin Mo has said so, what else can Lin Changqing say? That barren mountain is really going to be developed, so it's his political achievement anyway, even if he's too old to be the village head for two years, everyone will miss him in the future, right
So taking advantage of the end of the year, Lin Changqing held a meeting in the village. After the meeting, based on the opinions of everyone in the village, he contracted the barren hills to Lin Jian at a price of 100 yuan per mu per year. The contract period was 30 years, and the contract fee was paid annually. Counting begins on January 1st. In view of the fact that barren hills are reclaimed into fields, the initial investment is huge, the contract fee remains unchanged for the first 20 years, and it will be adjusted appropriately with changes in market prices in the next 10 years. Before the contract expires, Qingtong Village shall not take back the land without reason.
There are only four to five hundred people in Qingtong Village, old and young. After the barren mountain is contracted out, each person can get a hundred and ten yuan per person, and a family can get at least three or four hundred yuan. This money is like picking up for nothing. Who would have opinions
Some people also laughed behind the scenes that Han Xun and Lin Jianren were stupid and had a lot of money, so what can the barren hill do? No matter how much money you throw in, I'm afraid you won't hear a sound.
Of course, they wouldn't say these words in front of Han Xun and Lin Mo, they were not fools, and they would push it away if they were rushed to slaughter them.
People in the village believed that monks could not run away from the temple, so no matter how Lin Jian and Han Xun agreed in private, only Lin Jian's name was recognized on the land contract. Lin Jian is still abroad and has not returned yet. After the contract was written, Murakami asked the representatives of the masses to sign and seal it with their fingerprints. He made an agreement with Lin Jian on the phone that the contract would take effect when he came back and signed the contract.
Lin Jian didn't agree with Lin Mo's contracting this barren mountain at the beginning. Lin Mo repeatedly promised that he would not lose money, and Han Xun was there to help him. Thinking about his son's performance this year, he agreed to sign the contract.
When things settled down, Lin Mo asked Lin Changqing to help him organize people to reclaim the barren hills. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and it's time for the slack season. Most people in the village are at home, and they are all motivated when they get a job. Lin Moxu's salary is not low, and Lin Changqing helps to supervise the work. No one in the village who goes to work dares to be lazy.
Burning thatch, cutting shrubs, and felling miscellaneous trees, all of them were working in full swing, and the pheasants and hares hiding on the barren hills were completely destroyed, and they were caught running around one by one. It's just that the amount of wild game is not much, and everyone can't share enough, so they simply send them all to Lin Mo's house.
Wild game is rare, Lin Mo gave some to Lao Du, Lin Shu asked for two pairs of hares to raise and play with, and killed all the rest, and kept them frozen in the refrigerator, and when father and grandma came back to eat, the rest were slaughtered In order to provide extra meals for those who work at home.
The pheasant meat is firm and chewy, and the wild rabbit meat is rich and tender. Lin Mo made diving rabbits, crispy rabbits, spicy rabbits, and shredded rabbit meat in different ways... Everyone enjoyed it.
Han Xun stayed at Lin's house for more than half a month, his once skinny cheeks swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his abdominal muscles that were almost gone disappeared day by day.
At the beginning of January, after celebrating Lin Shu's eleventh birthday, Han Xun had to go back to school.
He missed most of the semester's classes, and if he didn't go back to school to take the final exam, even if he was an exchange student, he wouldn't be able to justify it. And the company has accumulated a pile of things that need to be handled by him personally, even if he doesn't like it, he has to go back.
On Lin Shu's birthday, Han Xun urged Lin Mo to take a day off for him. Lin Mo put aside the things in his hand, and Ah Hu drove them to Jincheng's parks and zoos for a day of crazy fun. Along the way, Lin Shu read Han Xun will buy him whatever he wants. Han Xun paid a lot of money to teach him how to play the shooting game, and after he successfully won a big plush toy and a remote control car from the boss, Lin Shu obviously became closer to Han Xun, and even bought snacks for him.
In addition, some time ago, Han Xun has been patiently answering various questions for him and added a lot of impression points, so that when Han Xun left the next day, Xiaopangdun finally had a trace of longing in his eyes. However, this reluctance was quickly replaced by the excitement of being able to monopolize my brother again.
What's more sad is that my elder brother refused to sleep with him anymore on the grounds that he was already eleven years old and he was an older child, under the pretense that he wanted to cultivate his independence. Little Fatty was secretly depressed for a few days, seeing that his brother had no room for maneuver, he had no choice but to give up.
With the end of the period approaching, and the Mathematics Olympiad that Principal Pang had prepared for a long time was coming soon, Lin Shu had endless homework every day, and the little sadness in his heart was quickly submerged in the sea of questions.
In the blink of an eye, the county hotel took away hundreds of catties of cured meat ordered. After some customers found out the address of Lin Mo’s home in the snack bar, they came to buy it by themselves. After watching Lin Mo’s whole process from killing pigs to smoking cured meat, everyone No longer worrying that he was shoddy, he increased his purchases one after another. These people have to show off to their relatives, friends and neighbors after returning home, and there is an endless stream of people going to Lin Mo's house to buy preserved meat.
Because it is a new year's goods, at least ten catties are bought, and some of them are hundreds of catties. It is said that they are to give to relatives and friends in other places to try something new. Most people buy thirty to forty catties for Chinese New Year. He ate it at home, but because many people came to buy it, Lin Mo had to rush out a few more batches of cured meat.
