In my days as a farmer

I have to say that Xia Dongli was very moved by the boss's proposal. He checked the relevant information and found that the cost of enclosing land was much lower than his previous budget, and the flexibility was higher than buying a house.

But... the nature of going to other places to enclose land is completely different from buying a house in the suburbs. Although the cost is much lower, the risk is correspondingly higher.

After all, buying a house is an investment in fixed assets. Even if the housing prices in the suburbs rise slowly, they can still maintain their value.It's hard to talk about land parcels, he has no experience in this field, and one bad thing is that he keeps throwing money.

The young man pushed his glasses, looked down at the big dog who had dragged the mat to the corner and faced the wall, took a deep breath, and decided to give it a try.

He picked up his desk phone and sent a video chat request to the family group.

Under his mother's perplexed gaze, Xia Dongli confessed his plan. Just halfway through his speech, he saw the longing eyes of his father who was lowering his head and writing the lesson plan in the distance of the screen.

The meaning in that look was clear, and Xia Dongli swallowed back the words he wanted to ask for advice.

That's right, he already has this name, isn't Dad's tendency obvious?

Since then, Comrade Xiao Xia's goal has turned 180 degrees, and he is running towards a place he had never thought of.He overturned all previous preparations to start again.

But after the actual operation, Xia Dongli accidentally discovered that the process of finding land is more difficult than finding a house. There are various sales agencies for housing, but the land contract is operated by the village committee as a unit.

Although there are online announcements according to the regulations, you need to click one by one to enter the official website of the local government to find them.

For people like Xia Dongli who have no target area but have rigid needs for animal medical care and convenient transportation, it is almost a matter of luck.

There is such a thing as luck...he really doesn't have it, he has black hands, the kind of black who is not allowed to open treasure chests even in a game.

So Comrade Xiaoxia, who is very self-aware, searched around the Internet and finally found an intermediary company with a relatively high reputation. Because his request was a bit special, even an intermediary company with big data only gave it two weeks after receiving the order. He has a few villages that meet the requirements.

Among them, Xiaojin Village is the most recommended by the other staff.

This is a small village located in the northeastern region of the country, more than ten hours' drive from the city where Xia Dongli lives.Considering the risks of dog consignment, this distance is relatively moderate for road self-driving.

As far as people are concerned, Xiaojin Village is connected to the county by highway, and the county is connected to the expressway. It is two hours' drive from the nearest provincial capital airport, and it only takes one and a half hours to the train station. The traffic conditions are quite good.

Since there are several well-known national scenic spots nearby, the supporting facilities of the township to which Xiaojin Village belongs are also relatively complete. In addition to postal services, Sitong Yida also has a store in the town—for an otaku who relies on online shopping Said, this is very important.

Xiaojin Village itself is also a relatively wealthy village, and its name comes from the fact that this village mainly made a living by producing "Xiaojin" among Song brocades in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Although with the passage of time, only one non-heritage inheritor has mastered the production process of Xiaojin, but the local silkworm breeding technology has been passed down from generation to generation.

Yes, the second pillar industry of Xiaojin Village is silk.

Silkworm is a typical southern animal, and it is not cold-resistant. Generally, only tussah can grow in the north.Although they are also called silkworms, tussah silkworms feed on oak trees, produce less silk, and feel slightly inferior to mulberry silk.

"And the reason why Xiaojin Village can breed silkworms is because they have an active volcano underground!" said the agent's service staff with a warm smile.

"Because of the geothermal heat, and because it is located in a small sunken basin at the southern foot of the Baiyun Mountains, there are high mountains that block the northwest wind, so generally speaking, at the same latitude, the temperature in Xiaojin Village is about ten degrees higher than other places. Lie~"

It is precisely because of this difference of ten degrees that Xiaojin Village was able to breed silkworms that are extremely afraid of the cold.

And because the local volcano is active and has erupted in history, the soil itself is rich in trace elements, and the quality of local crops is very high. It is an agricultural demonstration village in this county.

No need to ask, the price of vegetables here must be relatively low, and low vegetable prices mean low living standards.

In addition to these selling points, the staff also sorted out the temperature map of Xiaojin Village in the past year for Xia Dongli, who was already a little tempted. Compared with the temperature map of northern Scotland, the hometown of rice, the two are very similar.

Mr. Jie with a kind smile shot an arrow into Xia Dongli's heart: "I think Mr. Rice will be very happy if he lives in a place where the temperature is most suitable for his hometown."

Completely forgetting that his pet dog is a native Chinese dog, Xia Dongli, who had never been to his "hometown" at all, was shot in the chest with a red heart.

Seeing that the client’s vacillating attitude was obvious, the intermediary took advantage of the third advantage. Xiaojin Village offered about [-] mu of forest land for contracting. It seems that there are not enough gaps between the teeth, and the terrain where the thirteen acres are located is rough and uneven, which is not conducive to intensive production. These are deduction items in the eyes of the contractor.

But these disadvantages have become advantages after Mr. Intermediary's words are turned over.

Xia Dongli's purpose is not to make money from these lands. Thirteen acres of land is not much for a farmer, but it is just right for an inexperienced urban boy like him. , but not completely unable to take care of it.

Moreover, this piece of land is located at the highest point of the village, and it is adjacent to Baiyun Mountain. The village committee knew that this piece of land was not easy to sell, so they gave him certain benefits—allowing the contractor to use the land without affecting the ecology. Make light use of resources within the legal scope of the adjacent mountainous area-that is, allow him to collect some mountain treasures, gather some firewood, draw some spring water, and so on.

But don’t think it’s normal to rely on mountains to eat mountains. According to the current regulations, mountains and forests are owned by the state, and many activities carried out by non-contractors on the mountains are actually illegal, but most of the time they don’t go too far and don’t care about them. .

After all, the policy is there. If you really want to argue with you, you can only accept the punishment obediently. Xia Dongli is still an outsider, and if he is not good, he will be in trouble, and the authorization of the village committee can indeed save him a lot of trouble.

In this way, the rice can have an unlimited activity area for only [-] mu of land, isn't it very profitable?

Not only that~

The intermediary man used the PAD to show Xia Dongli an extremely quaint red brick house, "There was originally a two-story brick house in the land you contracted, which was built in the village before. The building is 23 years old. You can directly You can move in with your bags. It’s okay to renovate, the village committee will write a note on the contract, and if the area remains the same, it doesn’t count as occupying farmland~”

This is very attractive!Having a house in the contracted land means that Xia Dongli can live in the land with his dog instead of renting a house locally.

Rounding it up, wouldn't that mean that the thirteen acres of land are all their own back gardens?A small two-story house, a huge garden, and a hot spring nearby. No matter where it is, such a configuration can be regarded as extremely luxurious.

Xia Dongli, who thought about it for a while and thought it was very good, managed to keep calm under the introduction of the intermediary. He drove for more than ten hours with the last sliver of reason and went to the scene for a visit before going to the local area under the guidance of the intermediary. The village committee signed the contract.

However, this was all half a year ago. In order to prevent the dog's stress response, Xia Dongli officially started to try to move after being with the dog for half a year and making sure that it was emotionally stable.

These hours are not vacant. The small brick house has been vacant for a long time and no one takes care of it. It is just time to ask someone to strengthen the support, rearrange the wiring, and reconnect the water, electricity and coal.

These are all done by the intermediary. Although they have paid a high intermediary fee, it can also avoid some troubles for foreign visitors who are not familiar with the place.

Although the beloved dog didn't respond too positively to the move, Xia Dongli felt that Rice was in a good mood today. The proof is that although Rice didn't seem to be moving at all, his ears were shaking all the time, which was a proof of happiness.

After more than ten minutes of driving through the long snowy road into the village, he finally saw a familiar sign.Xia Dongli slowly parked the car in the open space in front of the village committee.

Judging from the pile of snow here, Xia Dongli might be the only visitor during this time.

Before getting out of the car, Xia Dongli did enough preparatory activities - he put on a big padded jacket and a Lei Feng hat, and a trendy young man suddenly became a native of Northeast China.

This is the lesson he learned last time. The down jackets bought from other places can't bear it in the Northeast. Only the big cotton-padded jackets made locally can really resist the local cold wind.

Different from his layers of equipment, as a big dog with dense fluff, he just stood up and shook his fur, then jumped off and stood beside him.

This should have been a very handsome move, but after landing, Rice's four feet and half of his body were buried in the snow in an instant.

The rice was stunned, it sniffed the smell of the surroundings, um, this smell has been smelled before, it is white flowers.

But in its experience, this kind of cool thing will only fall lightly on the nose and eyelashes, why are there so many white flowers here?

They are all white flowers who can catch dogs!

Although he was confused about why he was captured by this thing, but because his head was exposed outside the snow layer, he could still see the owner. Rice was not very panicked. He shook his head on the spot and shook the snowflakes stuck to his ears. go.

Xia Dongli squatted down on the edge of the snow cave, and gently patted the fine snow off the back hair of the rice. He called the dog lightly, and when he saw that the rice immediately turned to look at him, he smiled.

Rice is very smart, it can judge Xia Dongli's emotions from his facial expressions.Rice's ears, which read his relaxed and conniving attitude from the master's face, moved slightly and relaxed a little, then he focused all his attention on the enemies around him.
