Seeing that Su Hang had made up his mind, the villagers stopped trying to persuade Su Hang to reconsider. Su Hang just went ahead and immediately took a pen and paper and drew up a deed. The content of the deed was that he would rent Su Hang.

Each household in the village has six acres of land. The annual rent for each acres of land is 800 cents. The rent is paid at the end of each year. The lease is hereby established and shall not be violated.

The villagers watched Su Hang write the deed seriously. Although they couldn't understand it, they couldn't help but feel happy.

One acre of land costs 800 cents, and six acres of land costs 800 cents. It takes three years of farming to earn this money!

Besides, everyone has about twenty acres of land in their hands. Apart from these six acres, the rest of the land can also be used to grow food, so everyone can't help but think to themselves: What if Suhang rented all his land?

That's good.

"Okay, I've written two deeds. I'll sign them first. Those who can write can just write, and those who can't write can just put their fingerprints on it." Suhang gave the deed to Li Zheng first and asked him to read it and make it.

A testimony.

Li Zheng took the deed and read it carefully. Among the villagers present, except for Li Zheng and Li Zheng's son, the rest were illiterate. Although Li Zheng was literate, he only had a rough education in social studies.

degree.

"I've finished reading. Suhang, the rent you paid is too much. Do you want to think about it again? What if you lose the money?"

"Thank you, Third Uncle, but this is the result of my careful consideration. Besides, I, Suhang, am from Sujia Village. If I make some money, I also want to give back to the village."

Li Zheng was moved by his serious look. He glanced at the patched villagers and said earnestly: "We must not forget Suhang's kindness in the future!"

Everyone nodded and praised Suhang as a good boy.

Now that the contract has been finalized, Li Zheng asked everyone to line up and have their fingerprints pressed.

After pressing their fingerprints, all the faces of the villagers shone with joy, and they could not restrain their happiness.

Li Zheng handed one copy of the fingerprinted deed to Su Hang and kept the other for the villagers.

"The pepper planting season is probably around the Qingming Festival, and the land needs to be plowed deeply. There are still more than ten days before the Qingming Festival. Third uncle and Qi Ye helped me lead the villagers to plow the land deeply, and the land also needs to be selected.

In a place with sufficient light, I will bring seeds over after Qingming Festival and teach them

Everyone planted it. For the villagers who helped me grow peppers, my third uncle kept accounts and matched the land with each household one by one. Each household paid sixty cents a day. If the peppers grown by someone's family grows well and yields a good harvest, I will tell them another one.

Who do you want to thank for the reward?" Su Hang said to everyone seriously.

Su Qiye and Li Zheng nodded quickly: "Hey, don't worry, Su Hang, your Qiye and I will keep an eye on you. Since you have rented six acres of land to each household, then each household will

The six acres of land rented to Suzhou and Hangzhou will be turned over and prepared for cultivation, so that you can be connected with the land."

The villagers responded one after another. When they heard that if they helped Suzhou and Hangzhou to grow peppers, each family would receive sixty cents, and those who did well would even be rewarded. This reward mechanism undoubtedly aroused the fighting spirit of the villagers.

"Then I would like to thank all the folks here. Thank you very much." Su Hang bowed.

When leaving, Su Hang called Li Zheng and Su Qiye over. Su Hang took out two ingots of silver and said, "Third uncle, Qiye, please take care of the affairs of the village. Two ingots of silver here are not a sign of respect."

.”

Su Qiye frowned and criticized Su Hang, but he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to catch the ingot of silver.

Li Zheng refused to accept anything he said. He thought long-term and just sold his favor to Su Hang. He hoped that if his family needed anything in the future, Su Hang would be able to support his family with today's kindness in mind.

Seeing that Li Zheng was determined not to accept it, Su Hang gave up. After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Su Hang got on his horse and left.

When I got home, I saw Aqiao and a woman sitting in the courtyard doing needlework.

"Ms. sir, you are back. This is our neighbor who runs a steamed bun shop in the county. She came to me today and said that we need to raise funds to build a well in our alley so that it will be more convenient for everyone to drink water in the future."

The woman immediately stood up and bowed to Su Hangfu. Next to her stood a little girl of five or six years old, looking timidly at Su Hang.

"Su Hang is so polite." Su Hang immediately bowed to the woman.

The woman had a round face and smiled kindly: "We in the alley have been discussing who bought this house a few days ago. Everyone is curious about who the owner is. Today I am lucky enough to meet the owner. He is really good.

Extraordinary magnanimity.”

Su Hang couldn't help but blush when he heard the woman praising him. When Ah Qiao heard this, his face was full of pride, "Yes, my husband is very good."

Seeing his young wife praising him, Su Hang became shy. In order to stop being shy, he changed the subject.

"Since digging a well is convenient for everyone, this is a good thing. I asked my wife to prepare how much money should be shared. My family and I moved here two months ago. In the past two months, I have been running around outside during the day.

I almost never stay home, so I never visit the house

It’s a sin to visit all the distinguished neighbors. Fortunately, I have time these days. I don’t know if it’s convenient for you. If so, let’s make a time. I’ll prepare some wine at home and treat you to a banquet. I hope you can

My neighbors will never give up."

People who can own houses in this hutong can't say how rich they are. At least they are all well-off. This woman's family owns a steamed bun shop. Listening to her words, she is very sweet and smart, and she is in the hutong.

The Taojing fund-raising spokesperson is enough to show that the woman is quite popular in this alley.

Before buying this house, Suhang had inquired that most of the people living in this alley were businessmen. This was one of the reasons why he decided to buy a house here, because he also wanted to be in business, and the Internet here was not as good as in later generations.

If the information is advanced enough, you can easily conduct market research on your computer and obtain the information you want.

If you want to get information here, you rely on personal connections. Since you want to do business, how can you not get into the relationship network between merchants here!

"Hey, after all, I have just moved here. I think there must be a lot of things to deal with. Everyone understands. My husband's surname is Wu, and I really want to get to know you as my new neighbor. When you are done, tell me. I

Let’s shout and ask everyone to come over. We all know each other in the neighborhood. This time, each family’s Taojing stall will cost 100 cents.

That's enough." The woman smiled generously. They didn't know the details of Suhang, but if Suhang can buy a house here, he must not be from a poor family. Everyone is doing business, and they can make money by being friendly, so how can they be dissatisfied?

She knew very few people, so it would be helpful to develop more contacts. The woman immediately accepted the olive branch offered by Su Hang.

"Thank you, Sister Wu. We will be neighbors from now on. If you have nothing to do, you can come and talk to my wife. She is quiet by nature. I have to go out and run around again. I worry about leaving her alone at home." Su Hang took out the Taoist bag.

The money from the well was given to Mrs. Wu.

Sister-in-law Wu accepted the money and said with a smile: "You and your wife are so good to each other. Your wife just praised you so much that nothing in the world is in the world. Don't worry, I will come to your door often to bother you in the future. Don't think it's annoying to me."

"

"That won't happen, Sister-in-law Wu, why don't you stay at home and eat." Seeing that Sister-in-law Wu was about to leave with her child in hand, Su Hang hurriedly said something to stay.

Sister-in-law Wu said with a smile: "Master, please stay. My son is studying in Juxian Academy. School will be over soon. My grandma has gone to visit relatives. She really can't live without me at home. Otherwise, I will definitely die today."

I’ll stay and eat your rice, hahaha.”

This Sister-in-law Wu is quite familiar, but there is an advantage in associating with this kind of person, that is, you will not fall into the embarrassing situation of being silent.

"If that's the case, then I won't keep my sister-in-law here. I'll leave slowly."

Sister-in-law Wu left with a smile, twisting her chubby figure.

Seeing Sister-in-law Wu leaving, Aqiao stepped forward and hugged Suhang, and Suhang hugged her as well.

"Miss you, Mr. Gong."

Su Hang stroked her back and said with a smile, "Me too."

Hearing this, Ah Qiao's eyes suddenly shone with light, and his arms holding his husband couldn't help but tighten a little.

It wasn't until Mrs. Su and Old Man Su walked in from the door carrying a basket that Aqiao came out of his husband's arms with a blushing face.

"Hang'er, your father and I bought a few knives of paper money and two bundles of tinfoil. When this Qingming Festival comes, we'll call your sisters and our family will burn some money for your grandparents. I hope they know something and can help.

May your business go smoothly, and may the child in Aqiao’s belly be born safely.”

Hearing this, Su Hang smiled and said: "Okay, I will invite the sisters back when the time comes."

Mrs. Su went to fold the ingots with a smile on her face. Ever since Aqiao became pregnant again, the smile on Mrs. Su's face has not disappeared.

The wet nurse went to cook, and Aqiao wanted to help Mrs. Su fold ingots, but Mrs. Su was afraid that the money from the underworld would go to Aqiao, so she refused to let Aqiao help, so Aqiao could only sit with Niuniu in her arms.

aside.

Seeing how loving his family was, Su Hang couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart. He washed his hands and went to the bedroom to continue preparing for the restaurant.

Suhang's shop is located in the most prosperous West City, and the decoration style is that of a rural farmhouse. Because Suhang found that although the county is prosperous, it is separated from nature. If humans stay away from nature for a long time, they will become

Those who yearn for nature, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people in the future who would yearn for retreating to the mountains and forests.

Therefore, the style of Suhang hopes to provide these people in the bustling county with a place of peace of mind. The main focus of the dishes is fish, and the fish comes from the witches. After all, the witches have a sea, and the fish is theirs.

specialty.

Seeing the craftsmen decorating the shop according to their own designs, Suhang was very excited. He sat aside and watched carefully, and expressed his opinions from time to time.
