In just a few days, Boss Sun of the Food Immortal Pavilion brought news, saying that there was a grange that was quite suitable, so that Xiao Yao would take the time to meet the seller.
Xiao Yao hurriedly made an appointment to meet, arranged the work at home, and took Xiaocui to the restaurant.
Sun Fatzi let Xiao Yao into the private room, and before the other party arrived, Sun Fatzi gave a general explanation of the situation.
This is a grange of the four Beijing officials who were convicted and demoted, because they had to leave Beijing to go to a foreign post on a hurry, and they spent a lot of money up and down during the crime, so they were in a hurry to make a move, and it happened that the big housekeeper of the Beijing official went to the restaurant to drink and talk about it, and Sun Fatzi took over.
Xiao Yao asked in detail, the grange has about 150 acres of land, and there is a small manor, located in a mountain village in the east of the suburbs of Beijing, far away from Beijing.
The asking price is not high, the total asking price is seven hundred taels.
Sun Fatzi said that if the official granges are all good fields, the official price per mu should be between five taels and seven taels, even if it is located in a remote area, it will cost four to five taels of silver per mu.
Even Zhuangzi sold the field and a tool in the village, and seven hundred taels was considered very cheap.
It's also a coincidence, otherwise this price will be enough to buy land, and Zhuangzi will be given away for free.
Xiao Yao has a general number in her heart, although she has fifty acres more land than she wants, according to what Boss Sun said, it is not a loss to buy more. was thinking about it, the big housekeeper arrived, Boss Sun introduced the two parties, and when they met each other, Boss Sun went out under the pretext of having something to do, leaving Xiao Yao, Xiaocui and the housekeeper to negotiate by themselves.
The housekeeper looks quite honest, and he doesn't say polite words, he opens his mouth and says that he has told his master, and the master only said that the steward in the Zhuangzi and a few people who watch the village nursing home have been following the house for many years, and some of them are also dragging their families with their mouths, and besides, it is almost the New Year, they don't want to go, and they don't want to take it themselves.
If the buyer can take over with them, the purchase price is still negotiable.
Xiao Yao was happy when she heard this, she was worried that there was no one at hand, if she took it over with the person in charge of Zhuangzi, how much trouble would it be saved?
But he didn't show it at all, and after bargaining with the housekeeper, he negotiated the land at a price of six hundred and fifty taels.
Say that tomorrow you will pay the money with one hand, and the land deed, house deed and personnel procedures with the other hand.
And go to the yamen to complete the transfer procedures.
The housekeeper hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the house to report, Xiao Yao thanked Boss Sun, and rushed home to prepare money.
Xiao Yao only had more than five hundred and fifty taels of silver in her hand, and she had to find a way to raise one hundred taels quickly.
Back at home, Xiao Yao took the monthly money that the princess gave herself and Xiao Cui, and the salary that Xiao Cui received was still dozens of taels, anyway, it was not enough, so she simply didn't use the loose money, she let Cao Zhong quietly take out the master's night pearl and make it a hundred taels of silver at a low price.
Say fifteen days to redeem it.
Xiao Yao thought about it and couldn't help but not touch the emperor's reward, she thought that if she used Xiaocui's salary and the moon silver given by the princess, they would have no mark, and she would just earn back the silver in a few days, and what the emperor gave was the official silver and gold ingots, which would be difficult to find back after spending it.
Why did you end up embezzling other people's money?
Early the next morning, in order not to attract attention, Xiao Yao asked Cao Zhong and Li Gui to send themselves, Xiaocui and the money box to Boss Sun first, and then send the hot pot base to Shixian Pavilion.
The housekeeper is really a person who can arrange things, not only brought a formality, but also called the steward of the grange, which Xiao Yao overlooked.
The person in charge was a sturdy and powerful, cropper in his forties, named Liu Mantun.
He was not as timid as the average farmer, and he was obviously somewhat knowledgeable.
Seeing Xiao Yao, he saluted respectfully.
Xiao Yao was quite satisfied.
Next, Xiao Yao and the housekeeper went to the yamen to go through the transfer procedures, and the household registration used by Xiao Yao was done by the housekeeper Yang Jinan in the name of Yao Xiaoyue.
The formalities went smoothly, because there was no tooth to spare, and a transaction commission was saved, and both sides took a tael of silver to give to Boss Sun as a thank you, and Boss Sun repeatedly refused to do so.
The housekeeper explained a few words to the steward of the grange, handed the person over to Xiao Yao, collected the money and went back to the master to pay the account.
Boss Sun was busy greeting guests, and only Xiao Yao, Xiao Cui and the steward were left in the house.
Xiao Yao kindly asked Steward Liu about the situation of the Grange, and comforted him that he would not treat him and the others in the village badly.
How much wages the old master gives them, how much they pay back, and if they do a good job, they will also process the money. and make an appointment to meet in the restaurant if you have something in the future, or ask Boss Sun to write things down on paper and hand it over to Cao Zhong, who delivered the goods.
Xiao Yao asked Steward Liu how he came here?
Steward Liu said that he came by the carriage of the Grange, Xiao Yao was very surprised, she didn't know that there was a carriage in the Grange, so he asked him to go back and clean the house in the Grange, and bring the property account books three days later, so that he could take a look at it.
And they sent him away.
Xiao Yao took Xiaocui to the street and bought five large wooden boxes, asked the store to send them to Boss Sun's restaurant, and asked Boss Sun to make room for her, wanting to borrow it for a while, in order to express her gratitude, Xiao Yao promised to cooperate with his restaurant next winter.
It's just that everything must be kept absolutely confidential.
Boss Sun agreed, and happily trotted to vacate a good room in his house, put down the wooden box, and handed the key to the door to Xiao Yao.
Finally has her own manor, her own home, Xiao Yao was so happy in her heart that she couldn't help humming "We ordinary people are really happy today" from her previous life Xiaocui looked at Miss curiously and asked, "Miss, what song are you singing, it's so strange?"
” Xiao Yao was embarrassed, and quickly stopped singing, and talked about him left and right.
In the next few days, Xiao Yao asked Cao Zhong to quietly take out some of the seeds he brought in the delivery truck every day, handed them to Boss Sun, and asked Boss Sun to put them in a wooden box.
Three days later, when Xiao Yao met Steward Liu again in the restaurant, Steward Liu brought the account books of the Grange.
Xiao Yao left the account book and instructed Steward Liu to bring back a box full of seeds from the restaurant, and put it in a dry upper room that had been cleaned, so that it would not be damp or water.

Tell him that he will use it for farming after the beginning of spring.
And instructed him to come and pull a box of things every other day, go back and lock it up, and protect it.
As soon as Steward Liu left, Xiao Yao discussed with Boss Sun the supply volume before the New Year, and hurried back.
Recently, she has come out too often, for fear that the prince will find out and be suspicious.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the imperial court gives the officials annual leave, the two brothers of the Zhao family are idle, Zhao Ruiyun comes to Qixia Courtyard every day to report, Xiao Yao has no freedom.
The people in the yard are also very careful when they do their work, Xiao Yao has to say that she wants to go out every day, and let Zhao Ruiyun accompany her to the street, so that the people in the yard can work hard, the Chinese New Year is almost over, the ancient restaurant is closed for the New Year, and Boss Sun wants to sell a few days before closing the door before the year, so there is a lot of goods in these days, and Xiaocui and they are also working overtime day and night to catch up.
Xiao Yao can only drink cold wind on the street every day, and Zhao Ruiyun thinks she is very happy.
Xiao Yao gave them the leather boots made for Zhao Ruiyang's family of four and the leather boots made for Zhao Ruiyun on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, which was regarded as a New Year's gift to them.
The princess put on her shoes and happily walked back and forth several times, praising her wonderful ideas and doing a good job.
The two brothers also sent Xiao Yao a lot of jewelry and other things, which seemed to be very difficult to get, and Xiao Yao happily thanked and accepted them.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the restaurant was finally closed, and the work of Qixia Courtyard was stopped.
Xiao Yao let everyone sleep beautifully for a day.
