"You can't hide anything from the hostess!" Li Qing and Wu Xiaomao looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly.

The two of them told Lian Fangzhou what everyone thought.

After these days, even Fangzhou can see that these people are really good, so she is naturally happy to propose this, after thinking about it, she nodded to the two of them and said: "Okay! I also think this is the best way! You can just tell Uncle Zhao Liu about this matter, you don’t need to tell Uncle Zhao Liu that you have already mentioned it to me, just let Uncle Zhao Liu arrange it!”

Although Li Qing and Wu Xiaomao didn't quite understand why they did this, they still agreed with a nod and a smile. Although they originally guessed that Lian Fangzhou would most likely agree, but now it has come true, they are still very happy.

After Ah Jian transported charcoal to the city twice, she and Lian Fangzhou delivered meals to the field, and then delivered three more trips in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Lian Fangzhou explained a few words to the field, and then followed A Jian into the city with Lian Ze. Lian Fangzhou had to take silver to pay for the land.

When they arrived in the city, Ah Jian went to deliver charcoal, and Lian Fangzhou and his brother went to Liu Jia's house.

Liu Jia helped his family a great deal yesterday, so if he came to the door today, of course he couldn't go empty-handed. It is the same reason to go to Zhao Liu in two days.

Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze bought two boxes of high-quality dim sum at the dim sum shop, went to the silk and satin shop to buy two bolts of fashionable Ning silk, and cut a square piece of pork belly weighing about four catties at the meat stall. , bought a few catties of persimmon cakes, and spent three taels of silver before going to Liu Jia's house.

Seeing this, Liu Jia bluntly said that it was expensive, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze thanked them with a smile for yesterday's incident, and said that it was right for him to run back and forth for the purchase of land.

Lian Fangzhou said it frankly and sincerely, it was a heartfelt gratitude. Liu Jia is also a generous person, so he happily accepted it and ordered his wife to keep it.

Liu Jia's daughter-in-law also had a good impression of Lian Fangzhou's sister and brother. She smiled and politely said a few words to collect the things, then took out the best tea in the house to make tea, and hurriedly prepared the snack box.

Sit down for a while, and then get down to business.

Liu Jia handed the accounts to Lian Fangzhou, explained them one by one, and finally added up the money, including the intermediary fee he drew and the fee for handling the official lease, the total was 3,362 taels. A only received three thousand three hundred and fifty taels, then gave her the receipt, and said with a smile: "Those lands are already yours, and the land can be sorted out in a few days, and the official deed will be completed in a few days." Now, let me tell you again!"

Lian Fangzhou thanked him with a smile, pointed to something to do, and left with Lian Ze.

It happened that Ah Jian had already sold the charcoal, so Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze went to buy some big bones and meat for soup, reunited with Ah Jian, and went home.

At the end of the day, Ah Jian delivered five times, and Li Sanhe and his wife three times. Tomorrow, one person will send it again, and all the charcoal accumulated at home will be delivered.

From now on, each kiln will be delivered immediately after it leaves the kiln.

Lian Fangzhou and Ah Jian planned that after finishing the land at Shitou Ping tomorrow, they could go to Sanchakou the day after tomorrow. It was still better to burn the land first and then clean it up.

However, the wasteland on the Sanchakou side is only over 680 mu, and compared to the land in Shitouping, there are basically no small trees and shrubs, just some grass, which is much easier to clean up than the land over there. ! It was that mountain that was a little troublesome.

Lian Fangzhou planned to burn that mountain too, eradicate the shrubs and miscellaneous trees, then dig a hole to plant fruit trees, clear out a flat land on the top of the mountain, and build a house.

It is not convenient to transport bricks and stones up the mountain, so we can build a wooden house, which is similar to a stilted building, which is even more unique.

When spring comes next year, a tall barbed wire fence will be built around the foot of the mountain, and chickens can be raised inside.

Although the wasteland here is easy to clean up, it turned out that the land other than the wasteland belonged to several different families, and now all belonged to her, so all the original boundaries had to be destroyed and connected into a unified plan.

The next morning, Ah Jian and Li Sanhe each delivered charcoal, and they were all delivered.

Li Sanhe was so happy that he said "it saves trouble". If it were not for Liu Jia's help, I don't know how many days it would take to sell out the charcoal!

"Fangzhou, my father and mother said that you should come to our house in the evening, and our two families will divide the money from selling charcoal this time first, and we will share the money after selling charcoal again!" Li Sanhe said with a smile.

This is something that was agreed earlier, even Fangzhou did not refuse, so he agreed with a smile. This time selling charcoal, they got a total of forty-six taels of silver, enough for next year's expenses, Lian Fangzhou is still very happy!

There is nothing to do today, Lian Fangzhou plans to go to Sanchakou to take a look at the land again, and he has to make a good plan, how to arrange the manpower to organize is more reasonable and convenient.

Lian Fangqing and Lian Che also wanted to visit this "homeland", and all the siblings and A Jianjian went there.

Lian Fangzhou probably read it once, discussed with Ah Jian a few words, and he probably had an idea in his mind, and they climbed up the low hill again.

"Uncle Liu said that the mountain is nearly 70 mu. It's a gift. When we plant fruit trees in early spring, we will have an orchard and eat a lot of fruit!" Lian Fangzhou said with a smile.

"Great! Sister, will we have fruit next year!" Lian Fangqing smiled with eyebrows and eyes, looking forward to it, as if the weeds on the mountain had turned into fruit trees.

Lian Ze chuckled and said, "How can it be so fast? I bought fruit tree seedlings next year, and it will take three years at the earliest to eat the fruit, right?"

"It's been so long!" Lian Fangqing was inevitably disappointed.

Even Fangzhou felt that it was a bit long, and his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true, maybe we can still eat better next year!"

"Yes, yes," Lian Che's eyes lit up, and said, "We can plant big fruit trees!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "That's right, we can plant big fruit trees!"

What she had in mind, though, was grafting.

She doesn't know about other places, anyway, on Xianteng Mountain and the mountains close to Xianteng Mountain, she saw a lot of wild fruit trees, such as wild loquat, persimmon, bayberry, jujube, orange tree, chestnut, cherry, peach There are trees, pear trees, plums, etc., as long as you dig out the stumps that have already borne fruit, and buy fruit branches from other people's orchards to graft, you can eat fresh fruits that year.

This thing can be found in the mountains after the land is cleared and the fruit tree pits are dug.

In Yuhe County, it is said that even in the coldest winter, it does not go below zero. The wild fruit trees can be planted immediately after being dug up, and they can be covered with straw.

A few people talked, laughed and watched for a while, then went home.

Lian Fangzhou went to Zhang Lizheng's house to see how many catties of cotton seeds he had received.

Seeing her coming, Zhang Lizheng couldn't help laughing and said, "I was just about to send someone to look for you, but you just came!"
