Another World Baixin

After the Shangyuan Festival, all the shops on the street open their doors to welcome customers, while the farmers are busy with spring plowing.

Ju Cheng's hometown is in Ju's Ancient House about two miles away from the West Gate, separated by Xijiang Academy.There are also Ju Cheng's relatives in the village. When he went back to visit his relatives one day, he heard that a piece of fertile land outside the village was about to be sold.As soon as he returned to the city, he rushed to Bai's house to inform Bai Xin and others.

Today, there is no one in Bai's house, so Ju Cheng then went to the food shop, but Bai Xin was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that Bai Xin hadn't come back from the city to cut firewood.Ju Cheng then told Qin Shi and Ah Shui about this matter.

The mountains in winter are still green, only mixed with a little yellow color.Even in the dwarf pine forest that Bai Xin frequents, there are still many trees with green pine needles hanging on them.

The soil on the mountain is red, and loess is relatively rare.After Bai Xin packed a large bundle of firewood, he dug up a bagful of red soil and prepared to bring it back for the Qin family to pickle salted eggs.

Bai Xin swayed down the mountain leisurely with firewood on his back, and suddenly noticed the commotion on the right side.At first, Bai Xin didn't care at all. His ears were too sensitive, and he could hear the noises of others from far away. If he paid attention to everything, he wouldn't be annoyed by all kinds of sounds every day, and he wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully.When he continued to walk a few steps and was about to reach the intersection, he heard a very familiar voice from a group of people speaking on the right.

"Continue to keep an eye on Tian Fu'an's movements. Once someone asks him to buy land, immediately drive away the buyer! Hehe, he can only sell the land to me if he wants to sell it!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Tian! It's just that next time Tian Fu'an finds someone to back up the buyer?"

"—You just report my name and see who dares to offend me. The truly capable people in Xijiang City don't care about Tian Fu'an's few acres of land."

"Yes, yes, yes! We can count on the fact that we will be able to live on your land in the future. How can we not follow your orders with all our heart, right?"

"Hmph, as long as you know."

The talking over there stopped, and then there was the sound of the wheels of the carriage turning, and the carriage was driving towards Bai Xin's direction.Bai Xin pressed the straw hat on his head forward, as if walking on the road without knowing it.

If you heard me right, that Tian Fuji was sitting in the car, probably he was playing tricks on his younger brother Tian Fuan again.What Bai Xin was interested in was that Tian Fuan seemed to be selling the land. He just sold the shop and now he will sell the land again. Is he short of money or is he going to leave?

Ever since he moved to Xijiang City, Bai Xin lost his own fields—even though he only owned two pieces of land in Dongxi Village before, he had to buy all the food he needed to live in Xijiang City.The price of goods in Xijiang City is slightly higher than that in Huanyang Town, and the monthly expenses are relatively higher. At present, the family's source of income is only from the food shop, and they have to save a lot of money to repair and reorganize the house.

To increase income and reduce expenditure, the Qin family has already planned to reduce expenditure, try to save as much as possible on daily meals, and only make new clothes for Bai Xin and Ah Shui during the New Year.Bai Xin naturally had to solve the matter of open source, and buying a field was a good choice.The business of the food shop is slowly developing, and he still has a little silver on hand at this time. If the seller's asking price is not high, he will buy a few acres of land.

Xijiang City is located in a mountainous and hilly area, and there are fewer cultivated fields around it than the previous Huanyang Town, which is relatively flat because it is close to the coast-of course, it cannot be compared with other grain-producing states.In addition, Xijiang City is a prefectural city, and there are many rich and noble families in the city, and the good fields outside the city have already been divided up.Bai Xin went to Zhongren to ask, and the fertile land that can still be bought at present is not cheap, and it is really not worth it.

Back home, Bai Xin stacked the firewood neatly and spread them out in the yard to dry, while the red clay was left for Qin to deal with when he came back.It was not too late, and the restaurant was not yet closed, but it was getting late, so Bai Xin would not go to the shop to help, but only did some heavy work at home, such as carrying water and chopping firewood.There is a large water tank in the kitchen, and a tank of water needs to be picked up every day. There is a well in the guest courtyard next door. When washing, the well water is directly drawn from the side of the well. The well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can save a lot of firewood. Hot water for laundry and dishwashing.There is also a well in the inner courtyard of this house, but it is too far away from the outer courtyard, so it is inconvenient to come and go.

As the sky gradually dimmed, Lin Da drove Chang Liushui and the Qin family back.The shop is not far away, and it won't take long to walk. Qin Shi originally said that there is no need to drive, just walk over and back; Bai Xin said that since he bought a horse, there is no reason to keep it for nothing.Qin didn't have anything to refute, so she agreed.

Bai Xin was quite surprised when he heard that Ju Cheng had come to tell him the news, and thought, "I'm lucky today, and I found out about two sellers."He then asked Ah Shui: "Uncle Ju, did you say who the seller is?"

Ah Shui told Bai Xin: "Speaking of which, we also know each other. We bought our shop from that person."

"Tian Fu'an?!" Bai Xin was very surprised. He just overheard news about Tian Fu'an on the road, and when he got home, someone sent him the news about Tian Fu'an. It can be seen that Tian Fu'an's land is destined for him, and Bai Xin is proud of it. thought happily.

That being the case, Bai Xin didn't wait too long, and immediately went out to find Tian Fu'an.

Just after stepping out of the gate, Bai Xin suddenly thought of something, turned around quickly, and called for Da Lin, "Uncle, help me go to the Huang Mansion and invite Second Young Master Huang to go hunting in the countryside tomorrow."

Lin Da hesitated: "Today is late, I am afraid that Huang Ershao has something to do tomorrow and has no time?"

Bai Xin thought it was the same, he made a temporary decision, but he couldn't point out that others must act according to his plan, so he changed his words: "Let's invite it the day after tomorrow, the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"Can I post a message?"

"Ah?" Bai Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "No need, I'm not a character on the card, so I don't need to be so particular, just ask, but you have to get Huang Er Only a few responses are needed, in case the concierge of the Huang Mansion doesn't notify you, Uncle, do you know what to say?"

"Hey, do you think I can forget the previous experience after I left the Lin Mansion for a few years?! Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."

Bai Xin smiled without saying a word, and hurried to Tian Fu'an's house without further delay.

Tian Fu'an sat at home with a gloomy face, watching his husband come and go and count his belongings. The two half-year-old children were accused of running around, and the three of them didn't pay any attention to Tian Fu'an.

In the end, Tian Fu'an couldn't hold back anymore, and said awkwardly: "Da Lang, it seems that your mother has been busy for a long time and didn't even drink a sip of water, and you don't let him sit down and drink a glass of water."

Tian Dalang is a young boy with a temper similar to that of Tian Langjun. He calmly responded to his father's words: "Once I rest, I will think of some unpleasant things, so that my mind is depressed. It's better to get busy." Think about those."

'Something not good' pointed to Tian Fuji's meddling with his own affairs, and he couldn't stop it?Tian Fu'an immediately held back other words in his stomach, secretly struggling with how to deal with Tian Fuji's embarrassment.

At this moment, Bai Xin came to the door.

Tian Erlang, a young man who is good at running, obeyed his parents' orders and went to open the door. When he saw Bai Xin who was unfamiliar, he asked crisply, "Who are you looking for?"

Bai Xin grinned: "This is Tian Fu'an's house, right? I just came to him for something urgent. My name is Bai Xin."

Tian Erlang already understood some things. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he called out loudly: "I've heard of this name before!" Then he glanced at Bai Xin, and the child actually let Bai Xin in without asking his parents first. .

Fortunately, Bai Xin is not a person with bad intentions.Tian Fuan welcomed him into the hall, while Tian Langjun called the children to the back room, focusing on educating Tian Erlang.

When Tian Fu'an learned of Bai Xin's intentions, he immediately laughed out of joy.It's also related to Master Huang's relationship. Bai Xin is obviously more supported by Master Huang than Tian Fuji; if the land is sold to Bai Xin, Tian Fuji will not dare to play tricks.

Tian Fuan didn't know Bai Xin's background, so he tentatively said, "How much land do you need? My family doesn't have much land, only 25 mu." At this moment, he was really worried that Bai Xin would look down on his family's small land, which was only 25 mu. For his family, it took a lot of trouble to buy it.There are many mountains and rivers in Xijiang, and there is not much land that can be cultivated. All the farms are in the hands of the rich and powerful, and only the corners are leaked to the common people.

While calculating the available money at home, Bai Xin said, "I'm new here, so I can buy 25 mu of land, which is enough. How many paddy and dry fields are there?"

Tian Fu'an put his mind at ease slightly, "Seventeen paddy fields, eight dry fields."

Calculated, it will cost 350 taels of silver in total.Bai Xin had already bought someone else's shop at a low price, so naturally it was not easy to bargain on the farmland.But he didn't think he just mumbled and didn't speak, so Tian Fuan became a little anxious, "Brother Bai, it's not the first time we've been dating, and I won't say much about it. My few acres of land are really good, and the harvest is impressive. The total selling price 350 taels of silver, for the sake of saving me, I only charge you 300 taels, how about it?"

Cut off 51 taels in one go, Brother Tian, ​​do you feel pain?

Bai Xin was even more moved. How could the benefits that were brought to him slip away?

One was intentional in the first place, and the other was still thinking of a way to get over it, needless to say the result.Now the two of them agreed to go to see the fields in the future, and then they went to Yousi Yamen to sign a contract.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Tian Fu'an happily sent Bai Xin out of the house.After all, it took Bai Xin less than a cup of tea to settle the matter. It can be seen that Tian Fuan sold the land in a hurry. According to him, he was in a hurry to deal with the fixed property because he wanted to move out of Xijiang City.

Thinking about the 25 mu of land that he will soon get, Bai Xin walked home lightly all the way.Lin Da only came in a few steps earlier than Bai Xin, and the news he brought was that Huang Zhongying readily accepted the hunting invitation for the day after tomorrow, and by the way, "Maybe I will bring friends over here, I hope Bai Xin doesn't mind."Bai Xin wanted something from him, so of course he wouldn't mind his request.

Mrs. Qin came out of the kitchen while wiping her hands, and greeted: "Go and wash your hands, and come over to eat when you're done."

Ah Shui ran into the kitchen first to help prepare the meal, and then he shouted excitedly: "Ah Xin! Let's eat fried sweet potato noodle balls tonight!"

Sure enough, Bai Xin speeded up the cleaning process. He loves Qin’s fried sweet potato noodles, sweet potato flour mixed with cauliflower, potato rice, dried shrimp, green garlic, etc. Be fast, any slowness can cause the sweet potato powder to smear on the bottom of the pan.Until the sweet potato powder is transparent inside and out, and the outermost layer is slightly burnt, it's okay, and the burnt aroma is just strong.

Bai Xin took a bite of a small flower of cauliflower wrapped in sweet potato powder, chewed and swallowed it a few times, and asked Qin Shi slightly puzzled, "Where did you get the dried shrimp?"

There are only a few people in their family, so they don't pay attention to food and words. "I bought it at the market today," Qin said with a little distaste. "It's just that the taste is not as good as the one you bought at the seaside before, and the price has doubled."

Bai Xin turned his mind to think for a while, and said: "Find some time, Uncle Ah and I will go to the nearest fishing village to have a look. If we can receive good fresh and dried fish and sell them in our shop, it will be an extra way. "

If you go to the fishing village, you must bring enough silver. Unfortunately, you have to buy farmland, and the turnover is not available recently, so you have to wait for a long time to get there.Bai Xin secretly thought about how to get money quickly.
