Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 468 Thank you

Going to the yard with a cane, Su Mulan saw Bai Shitang bringing back a cow, and behind the cow was pulling a cart.

 Brand new.

The cow is completely black, with smooth and shiny coat, and looks fat and healthy. It is an adult and very healthy cow.

Seeing Su Mulan, the cow mooed, as if to say hello.

 “The cow looks good.” Su Mulan said.

“Well, after visiting the places that sell livestock in the county, this cow looks good. Even though it is 20% more expensive than other cows, you get what you pay for, so it’s not a loss after buying it. Bai Shitang replied, tying the cow to the tying post he had driven when he got up in the morning.

He also put some dry wheat straw on the base of the wall to make a nest for the cattle.

In the trough, some water was added, some wheat straw was put in, and a handful of black beans were sprinkled in.

After staying at the cow market for a day, the cow was obviously hungry. He sniffed it with his nose and began to chew wheat straw.

 Bai Shitang parked the trolley next to it, then moved the basket on top of the trolley to the main room, and then went to scoop up water to wash his hands and face.

I went to the county town once and came back in disgrace.

Upon seeing this, Su Mulan returned to the main room on crutches, took down the steaming teapot from the stove, and poured a glass of water for Bai Shitang.

"Thank you." Bai Shitang took the cup and drank two cups of hot tea before letting out a long breath.

After resting for a while, Bai Shitang brought the basket to show to Su Mulan.

"This is the flower rope that Shuiliu asked for to tie her hair. This is the bamboo strips that Lixia asked for to weave grasshoppers. This is the bamboo leaves that were asked for the knot. Mi Dou asked for the ink sticks that I gave to my husband. This... "

 Bai Shitang took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Su Mulan, "The ointment bought at the drug store is said to be the best for treating bruises and injuries. Take it twice a day to relieve pain and reduce swelling."

"Thank you." Su Mulan was not polite, took it, and thanked Bai Shitang.

“There is also this, take it.” Bai Shitang handed over another stack of square papers.

Su Mulan saw that there seemed to be words on the paper, and she took it over in surprise, "What is this?"

“I went to Yahang today and saw that there was fertile land for takeout, and it happened to be connected together, so I bought fifty acres.”

Bai Shitang replied, "These fifty acres are in the east of the county, a bit far away from us, but I went to take a look. The fields are good, and they are all Tianzi fields. Zhuangzi helps to take care of them, and every year one of them is taken away." The profits from renting to tenants are 40% to 60%, and after deducting 20% ​​of taxes, 30% can be obtained every year, which is deposited regularly in the county bank in spring and autumn. "

“When the time comes, you can take the land deed and the seal and get the money. If you want to sell the land, you can take the seal and the land deed to the Yaxing Store and sell it. It’s also convenient.”

"Thirty percent doesn't seem high, but Zhuangzi has taken care of everything. You don't have to worry about paying taxes and rents. You can just sit back and make a net profit. The water flows steadily, and you can count a fixed harvest every year. Apart from other things, This is enough for daily food and drink.”

"You take this land deed, and the money you collect is considered your private property. Even as a father, I would like to thank you for taking care of the children these two years."

Seeing what Bai Shitang said, Su Mulan thought for a while and took the seal handed over by Bai Shitang.

“Then I’ll keep it for now.” Su Mulan replied.
