Chapter 85: Buy land (1/2)
Summer is here, and on the back mountain of Zhaojia Village, there is another fruitful fruit. Some are young and immature, and some are already red and ripe.
Because I sold a few small jars of fruit wine last year and made tens of taels of silver, this year Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan discussed to continue brewing. Although they are not short of the money, it is not because of the money.
And this year, you can make more brews so you can leave some to drink at home. Grandfathers and grandmothers can drink them. Soon they will come, uncle and uncle. It is inevitable for people to drink more. When they like it, they may have to take some back.
Zhong Ziqi, who is attentive in all aspects, has thought about it. There is too much stuff to drink, the longer it is, the more mellow it will be.
This year, we need a lot of fruits for wine making. Zhao Zhengan simply hired a few people from the village to go up the mountain to pick them. He picked more than a dozen baskets. There were a lot of these things, but in reality, there was not much after making the wine.
Zhong Ziqi now has a bulging belly like blowing a balloon, often suffering from backache and leg pain. Zhao Zhengan massages him every day to relieve the aches and at the same time avoids letting him work, as long as he walks back and forth appropriately every day.
Nowadays, he can't find him to make brews, so Zhong Ziqi moved a small stool to direct him.
The method of wine making is not complicated. Although Zhao Zhengan was stupid last time, he still had some impressions. With Zhong Ziqi's command, there was no technical error.
After brewing, put the altar in the shady wing. Two jars of wine were buried under the tree in the garden by Zhao Zhengan. In Zhao Zhengan's words, wait until their children can run and jump, and then dig them out when they are sensible.
While Zhong Ziqi was funny, she also went with him.
In August, the two children of the Zhong family, Zhong Zijun and Zhong Ziheng, became relatives one after another. One married and the other married to the outer village. The Zhong family did not come to give any information to Zhong Ziqi, so Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan also I didn't want to be boring and stayed at home happily.
Zhong Ziqi heard that Zhao Ning, who was well-informed, said that Zhong Zijun, who was married, had married a mean family. The family gave a generous betrothal gift. The Zhong family was really speechless. After contacting him for a period of time, he married her brother. I have never understood the specific situation of the family carefully. I heard people from a village with that family say that the people in this family’s family are not good. The two elderly people like to pick and choose, find faults, and usually have a special life at home. He is frugal and rich, but he is reluctant to spend it. He is too busy to search and search. One can imagine what kind of treatment Zhong Zijun will encounter after he gets married. But all this has nothing to do with Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. They can sympathize a little bit, but they won't be nosy with mice.
Zhong Ziqi has been a bit sad during this period of time, his legs are swollen, and now he needs to walk with his waist when he goes out and walks, Zhong Ziqi deeply understands the difficulty of women. Then it hurts more than when giving birth, Zhong Ziqi thought.
Zhao Zhengan feels distressed for Zhong Ziqi. As long as he spares time every day, he will sit on the kang and massage his hands and feet. Now his family's daily income has been fixed, more than fifty taels of silver, and now the family has already saved a lot of money.
”Daughter-in-law, have you thought about buying land?” Zhao Zhengan asked. I said before that I would buy land and rent it out when I was rich. This money is the safest and safest.
Zhong Ziqi lay lazily. After enjoying Zhao Zhengan's more proficient massage techniques, he said after a long while: ”What do you think? Will you be too busy?”
Zhong Ziqi still yearned for that kind of landlord life, leisurely and at ease.
”I have no problem. If you buy it, it would be good. Now there is a phenomenon in our village or other villages. There are more and more people, but the land is not enough. If you buy land, it is too expensive. They have a year's harvest. It is not necessarily impossible to buy it. So if we buy the land and then sublet it out, there will definitely be many people coming to buy it.” Zhao Zhengan analyzed to Zhong Ziqi.
”Well, if like you said, we can buy it back, and we can make a lot of money every year if we sublet it.”
