Sign in and get rich in farming

"Oh, I forgot to introduce them. These are my troublesome brothers. The seventh brother is Meng Ao (ao), the ninth brother is Lang Shen (shen), and the eleventh brother is Yan Lin (yanlin)."

"This is Yu Fu, you can just call him Uncle Yu San. Before, I went into the mountains to hunt without knowing my own limitations and fell into a trap. Thanks to Yu Fu for saving me." As if he had just remembered something, Tan Bailu introduced the three young men in brocade clothes behind him to the three members of the Yu family.

This family likes to use animals when naming their children. Yu Hongdou watched as three handsome young men in gorgeous clothes bowed to their father.

I sighed at the Tan family's good naming skills and my gaze stayed on the handsome boy named "Wolf God" for a moment. The boy with this name that sounds a bit immature was really good-looking, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, looking a bit like a mixed-race.

Using animals as names and making them sound nice is an advantage that only ancient people had. They didn't have to worry about being laughed at, and they could even create classics. In later generations, only Internet nicknames can do this.

Yu Sanlang bowed calmly and respectfully, saying, "No, no, thank you for your kindness, Master. If you have time, you can go to Taoyuan Village to have some fun. There are two springs in the village, and the water is quite sweet."

How could he dare to let these noblemen call him uncle? The county magistrate gave him face, so he didn't dare to acknowledge them shamelessly. But he would not be too humble in front of a few teenagers who were about the same age as his children, otherwise he would be looked down upon.

Xu followed her husband and bowed silently. She glanced at her daughter who was still standing behind the county magistrate and staring at people. She felt annoyed because her daughter was still young and lived in the village, so she did not rush to teach her about etiquette.

Yu Hongdou was not really ignorant after all. She withdrew her gaze and did not dare to imitate her mother, for fear that the etiquette would be different between unmarried and married women. So she bowed and saluted like her father.

"By the way, Yu Fu, I heard from Xiaosong that you are planning to buy a house in the city. Just before I came here, I asked someone to find out about a lot of houses. There are a few that look good. I will ask Xiaosong to take you to have a look later."

After Tan Bailu introduced both parties, he didn't say much and directly asked Yu Sanlang to take his wife and daughter to find his son. The whole family came here for a reunion, so he shouldn't delay them.

"Thank you, sir. This really helped me a lot." Yu Sanlang didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise this time. He thanked Tan Bailu again and again, and then took his wife and daughter to his son's side.

"Dad! Mom! Hongdou~Why are you here? I wanted to go back in the evening." Yu Song was very happy to see his parents and sister, and the smile on his face was a little silly.

"Yesterday, my lawyer came to me and told me that my grandfather heard that our family was planning to buy a house and had noticed several vacant houses. He asked me to go and have a look when I have time. I was thinking of telling you about it when I get back!" Yu Song first reported the good news to his parents.

"We just came in and happened to meet the grandfather and a few young masters. The grandfather said that it was really thanks to his concern. Xiaosong, come here~" Yu Sanlang nodded to show that he understood, looked outside the door, and waved to his son.

When Yu Song came closer, Yu Sanlang whispered something in his son's ear, took out a purse and stuffed it into his son's hand.

Yu Song held the purse in his hand and looked at his father in surprise. When he saw him nod, he looked at his sister in surprise.

Yu Hongdou knew that her father and brother were handing over the night pearl, so she ignored them and opened the purse in her hand. This was the gift that the county magistrate had just given her.

Yu Hongdou poured out the contents of her purse, and it turned out to be a pair of small crabs inlaid with gold and jade. They looked so vivid and exquisite that Xu Shi, who saw them, could not help but exclaim in a low voice.

"I see that the young masters of the Tan family are all of extraordinary bearing. Xiaosong, you should learn more from them. Even if you can improve a little, you are considered successful." Yu Sanlang thought of the three young men he had just met. The two older ones looked about the same age as his son, but they were very different from his son.

"How many sons are there in the Tan family? I heard that the youngest one is ranked eleventh." Xu asked curiously.

"I heard from my lawyer that the Tan family has a total of twelve sons. The master of the Tan family is kind and righteous. In addition to his biological sons, there are several adopted orphans of his comrades. The son named Xingjiu who came today is an adopted son." Yu Song actually knew about this and whispered the news he heard to his parents.

Yu Hongdou couldn't help smacking her lips. Seeing that the Ninth Young Master looked even more imposing than Tan Bailu, she thought that the Tan family must have treated him well and that he should be outstanding enough.

It's not a good idea to gossip about other people on their territory, and Yu Sanlang came here to do business, so the family just said a few words to each other.

Yu Song put away the night pearl, asked for leave from his lawyer, left the county government office with his parents and sister, and went to a nearby brokerage firm to ask about the bricklayer.

When the middleman heard about the Yu family's request to build a house in the village, he knew that he had seen Yu Song going in and out of the yamen every day. He looked at the appearance and clothing of the family of four, pondered for a moment, and then called a short, unprepossessing middle-aged man at the tea stall outside the pawnshop.

"This is Master Liu. His family has been bricklayers for generations, and their craftsmanship is well-known. The county government office and the county school were built by his ancestors. He has many brothers in his family, so he doesn't need to hire outsiders to do the work."

Yu Sanlang looked at the thin and skinny middle-aged man with some suspicion. He didn't look like someone who could work.

The bricklayer who was sent to the shop to watch was also a shrewd man. Seeing Yu Sanlang was silent, he hurriedly recommended himself: "I have seven brothers, each of us is strong and good. Many houses in the city were built by our brothers. Master, don't worry. If the construction is not good, you can go and destroy our house."

Yu Song often hung out around the yamen and made friends with some minor officials. He knew that this middleman had a very good reputation. When he heard that the bricklayer had seven brothers, he roughly knew who the family was and nodded to his father.

Yu Sanlang knew that his son knew more about the situation in the city than he did, so he put aside his doubts and asked the bricklayer how he calculated his wages.

The bricklayer did not speak rashly. He first asked about the location where the house was to be built, the size of the land, the style of the house and so on.

As soon as Yu Sanlang heard the other party's question, he knew that the other party was indeed professional, so he told him about his family's situation and needs one by one.

"Master, my family lives in the suburbs of the county. We need to go to Taoyuan Village every day. The journey takes some time, so the construction period will be longer. My family has a car and can go there by ourselves. Master needs to bear some of the travel expenses, as well as the labor and meals..."

The bricklayer calculated as he talked, and finally quoted a price of one hundred yuan a day, including lunch, and the construction period would be about three to four days.

One tael of silver equals one tael of silver. So, building a house only costs four taels of silver? Yu Hongdou began to doubt her life.

She had never converted the ratio of silver to modern currency in her mind, and she knew that the Yu family gave a lot of silver when they split up, but without consumption comparison, Yu Hongdou really didn't know the purchasing power of this silver. So is her family actually that rich?
