Chapter 133 Someone has reserved this estate
Ling Yao goes to the seedling fields in the suburbs every day to record the condition of the rice seeds and the moisture of the soil.
Then they went to Baishi Teahouse and showed the notes to Tian Tian.
The rice seeds sprouted on the third day, and by the seventh day they had grown into seedlings.
"She is very good-looking."
"With that layer of straw to keep warm, the seedlings were not damaged by the frost."
The temperature was low in the morning, and Ling Yao's nose was red from the cold.
But he looked delighted, saying, "I see that the rice seedlings are growing stronger than the others."
"And 90% of the seeds have sprouted."
“Miss Tian Er, at first I doubted whether this rice seed could really produce a high yield, but now I have no doubts.”
"Second girl."
Zhang Fusheng rushed in from outside the shop, "Second Miss, I have news!"
Upon seeing Zhang Fusheng, Tian Tian ignored Ling Yao and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how is it?"
"Second Miss, there's news."
"I saw the brokerage manager go over today; it seems he's preparing to sell it."
Tian Tian lifted the hem of her dress. "Let's go to the brokerage and wait for him."
We must see the broker as soon as possible and buy that estate.
Zhang Fusheng followed beside her, saying, "Second Miss, that estate has five hundred acres of land, all of which are fertile fields."
Ling Yao followed...
Zhang Fusheng continued, "I heard that the rice grown there yields 350 jin per mu."
"The yield is significantly higher than that of ordinary fields! The price is expected to be high."
"I also inquired and found out that ordinary people usually sell fertile land for five taels of silver per mu, but after bargaining, they can only sell it for a little over four taels."
"The price of this estate is estimated to be over two thousand taels."
Tian Tian nodded approvingly, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Fusheng's oxcart was parked at the door, and Tian Tian jumped on it immediately, saying, "I must buy this estate."
There are too many types of vegetables in the system...
Her 700-800 mu of land is far from enough to grow vegetables.
She's not worried about not being able to sell the vegetables she grows...
Because these vegetables are all natural, green, and organic, the price they fetch when sold to the system will not be low.
The same applies to the rice seeds grown by ordinary people; they are all purely natural, green, and organic.
If the people want to sell, she will buy it and then resell it to the system.
With a simple flip of the wrist, one can earn a considerable profit.
"What are you doing up here?" Tian Tian asked, puzzled, as she saw Ling Yao jump onto the oxcart.
Ling Yao didn't answer, but instead asked, "Second Miss, did you buy the estate to grow rice?"
"Are the rice seedlings you've bred enough?"
He saw the records from Li Huaiyuan about planting high-yield rice, which covered as many as one hundred mu.
However, the area where Tian Tian breeds is only a dozen acres.
“I bought the estate not to grow rice, but to grow vegetables,” Tian Tian replied.
The brokerage shop is not far from the teahouse; it only takes a few minutes to get there.
She had just gotten off the oxcart when the broker's carriage arrived at the door.
"Manager Tian?!" The brokerage manager was somewhat surprised to see her.
After all, she had just bought more than a dozen women a few days ago, so why would she come back to patronize again so soon?
"Did you go to see the estate twenty miles west of the city, shopkeeper?" Tian Tian asked directly.
The brokerage manager stared wide-eyed, nodding in surprise. "Yes, I just got back from that estate, and Manager Tian already knows?"
"I want to buy that estate!"
The brokerage manager frowned in distress. "But someone has already reserved this estate."
"Who is it?!" Tian Tian exclaimed in shock.
"It's... that Manager Shen from Xiushui County."
That Manager Shen from Xiushui County...
Isn't that Shen Zhian?!
"Didn't Manager Shen buy the Lancang tea plantation? Is he also going to buy a estate?"
The brokerage manager laughed and said, "Manager Tian, you may not know this, but once Manager Shen buys a tea plantation, he always insists on buying an estate."
"He just wanted to have a place to stay when he was doing business."
"Moreover, the owner of this estate is from Yunzhou Prefecture and is a good friend of Manager Shen."
"I'm just here to give my testimony today."
Tian Tian: "So, this deal is already settled?"
The brokerage firm manager nodded. "It's settled, two thousand taels."
Tian Tian let out a breath.
She returned to the teahouse dejectedly, looking rather listless...
Ling Yao followed behind, not daring to say a word.
"Sweetie!" Tian Tian had just stepped into the teahouse when someone grabbed her arm and tugged hard, almost causing her to fall backward.
Fortunately, Ling Yao reacted quickly and caught her in time.
Tian Tian was already in a bad mood, and immediately glared at him angrily, "Who is it?!"
"Sweet girl, it's me."
Upon closer inspection, Tian Tian realized it was Lu Jiang Shi.
It's been almost two months since I last saw her, why is she looking for me again?
"What are you doing here?!" Tian Tian's voice was very displeased.
Madam Lu Jiang didn't care at all, forcing a kind smile on her face, "Sweet girl, where's your mother?"
Tian Tian's face turned ashen. "What do you want with my mother? Didn't we make everything clear last time?"
"Oh dear." Madam Lu gently tugged at Tian Tian's sleeve, but she shook it off.
"That's right, your aunt's baby is having its 100-day celebration the day after tomorrow."
“We’ve been thinking that we’ve indeed neglected your mother over the years, so we’d like to invite her and your family back for a get-together.”
"Don't worry, we will absolutely not mention what happened before."
"Sweet girl, I am still your mother's biological mother, your maternal grandmother..."
Tian Tian kept a straight face; this attempt to appeal to family ties had no effect on her.
“Sweet girl, let me see your mother. I’ll talk to her. If she still refuses to talk to us, then your grandmother will leave immediately and never come again.”
"OK?"
"Sweet girl, if you stop me from seeing your mother, she'll blame you when she finds out..."
Tian Tian's eyelashes twitched. Indeed, Lu Jiangshi was Lu Tao's biological mother after all.
Whether or not to attend this 100-day celebration is ultimately up to Lu Tao.
"You wait here."
Tian Tian called Xiao Si over, "Go and invite Madam Lu here."
When Lu Tao came over and saw Lu Jiangshi, her face darkened.
This time, Lu Jiangshi's situation was completely different from the last time.
She grabbed Lu Tao's hand, tears streaming down her face, and apologized to Lu Tao, begging for her forgiveness.
"Tao'er, I'm so sorry, I'm so bad. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well for the past two months, all because I've been thinking about what you said, Tao'er."
"Tao'er, Mother was wrong... We are family after all."
"Mother doesn't ask for anything else, she only asks that we are still a family, and that she can still see you, Xiang'er, Tian'er, and the others often..."
"Tao'er... your parents' days are numbered..."
Upon hearing these words, Lu Tao's eyes glistened with tears... She looked to Tian Tian for help.
Tian Tian sighed almost imperceptibly.
"If Mother wishes to go, then go."
Just as Tian Tian was about to turn around and go into the shop, Lu Jiangshi grabbed her arm, saying, "Tian'er, you come with me!"
