"Who's here?" A voice came from inside the room.

"Auntie, it's me, Andy Yang." Su Yang went straight in.

"You!" Wang Desheng hurriedly followed and gave him a glare.

He didn't know what Su Yang was here for, so he panicked.

"It's Xiao Su." A tall, fat middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen. It was Li Dujuan, Wang Desheng's wife.

"Are you here today?" Wang Desheng asked in an official tone, smoking a cigarette.

"I want to rent land." Su Yang said straight to the point.

"Oh, where do you want to rent?" Wang Desheng was a little surprised.

He heard that Su Yang opened a farmhouse in the town. The business had been mediocre, but he didn't know why it suddenly became popular these days.

"The land in Nantang is not bad. It has more than 100 mu. That's it." Su Yang said.

"Ha, you really know how to choose a place, and that is the most fertile land in our village." Wang Desheng said, "If you lose a thousand yuan and an acre, don't even think about it."

Su Yang shook his head. The price of renting an acre of land in Big Stone Village is 300 yuan, and the better land will not exceed 500 yuan.

After all, the mountainous land in the village is not easy to grow, and one mu of land can't make much money all year round. If the price is too high, no one wants it.

Wang Papi must know that the business of Nongjiale is doing well, so he opened his mouth in Shizi.

"Let me tell you the truth, I don't have much money now, and I can barely afford three hundred yuan per mu." Su Yang said, "If you are like this, I will rent land in other villages."

"Don't, young people are too impulsive, everything is negotiable." Wang Desheng said hastily.

How can I miss it when I finally have the opportunity to get some.

"I think you can consider going to the back mountain area. Although it has been deserted for several years, it was a good land before." Wang Desheng said, "I rented it to you for five hundred yuan per mu."

Su Yang sneered, "I think two hundred and one mu of land is too expensive for me, and I have to spend money to open up wasteland if I contract it."

Wang Desheng saw that he was not easy to fool around, but he didn't give up. He thought for a while and said, "Well, there are more than 200 mu of land in the back mountain, and I will count it as 200 mu for you. If you rent it, the mountain will be given to you. "

Su Yang's heart moved. Although there is no way to grow vegetables on the mountain, it may be used in the future.

"Two hundred yuan per mu, I will consider it." He said lightly.

"Three hundred!" Su Yang said, "I don't want any more."

"Four hundred!" Wang Desheng said, "The rent is too low, and the villagers will think that I have taken advantage of you."

"Okay, three hundred is three hundred." Wang Desheng said, "I know that it is not easy for you to open a store, so I will support you as my uncle. Don't forget my uncle when you make money in the future."

"Let's sign the contract today." Su Yang laughed, "The lease period is 20 years, the rent remains the same, and the rent is paid once a year."

The annual rent for 200 mu of land is 60,000 yuan, and 1.2 million yuan for 20 years. He can't afford that much now.

"The rent is paid every two years, 120,000 yuan at a time." Wang Desheng said.

He was worried that if Su Yang lost money in opening the store, he would not even be able to collect the land rent, so it would be a little more important now.

"Yes." Su Yang knew that he would definitely not want to pay once a year, so he agreed.

Wang Desheng called several people from the village committee, including Accountant Li.

Su Yang looked at Accountant Li on the opposite side, wondering if he should find an opportunity to remind him that he was greened.

But after a while, he dismissed this idea, because Accountant Li actually proposed to pay rent for at least five years for the first time.

Of course, in the end, the handover was made every two years, but Su Yang no longer had a good impression of him.

After working for more than an hour, the contract was finally settled.

The next day Su Yang transferred 120,000 yuan to the designated account in the village, and began to plan the back mountain.

This piece of land has been deserted for many years, and an area has been planned to raise chickens, ducks and other poultry. This piece of land does not need to be plowed, and the rest needs to be hired to go through it for growing vegetables.

He discussed with Su Guoping that he planned to use ten acres of land to build three greenhouse vegetable sheds first, as an experiment first, and then expand the scale after he became proficient.

After all, in winter, you have to use a greenhouse to grow vegetables.

"Andy Yang, you don't have enough money." Su Guoping took out a bag, "You use it."

This is the money that Su Yang gave them these days and has kept it untouched.

"Dad, the money is enough." Su Yang said, "Put it away. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for it."

After budgeting the cost of developing the back mountain, money is really tight.

The income in the store is considerable for a few days, but after all, he does not own it alone, so he cannot use it casually.

"Okay, let me tell you something." Su Guoping said, "Why do you insist on paying for the things that the store comes to our house to buy every day? We are a family, why are we so clear?"

Su Yang smiled, "Of course the score is clear, and one yard is worth one yard. If you just get money, you won't be able to settle this account in the future. Whether it's dividends or taxes, it's a mess."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let them send the money directly to your card in the future." Su Guoping thought about the reason, "It's not safe to put so much money at home."

"Tomorrow you go to the town to get a card, and you will get your card in the future. This is what you and my mother deserve." Su Yang said, "I have contacted the person who digs the ground, and someone will come tomorrow, five big machines Do it together, and it will be over in a few days, so you and my mother will pay more attention to it."

The business in the store is so good now, he helps out in the store most of the time, and plans to recruit a few more people, otherwise Three Fatty and others will be too tired.

At present, there is still one thing that needs to be done. With the back mountain, the breeding and vegetable cultivation base has expanded, and the demand for ambergris water has also greatly increased.

According to Little Dragon's current cultivation speed, if he wants to increase the amount of ambergris in a short time, he needs to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

He thought of the Big Teeth horse city, called him to make an appointment, and met in the city the next day.

"Middle of the Sea Jade Market is the largest in East Sea Province, and many people from outside the province come here admiringly."Big Teeth took him to a market and said, "There are jade, crystal, pearl, gold and silver jewelry, precious stones, and antiques. , everything that should be expected.”

He didn't want to come here, but he came cheerfully when he heard that it would take a lot of hard work and time.

"It's my first time here, so let's take a look around." Su Yang said.

Big Teeth nodded, and took him to various shops.

For the things he likes, the owner of the shop sells hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, which makes Su Yang very painful.

Big Teeth saw that he had no intention of buying, so he didn't bargain with others.

Judging by Su Yang's appearance, he shouldn't be able to afford too expensive ones.

"Let's go in and have a look." When they passed by a store, Su Yang said without changing his expression.

Little Dragon reminds him that there are good things inside.

This store is large in scale, exquisite in decoration, and has a lot of customers.

Su Yang came to a counter and looked carefully.

...

"Ethan Yi, why did you bring me here?" Deng Xiao looked up at the big sign that said Middle of the Sea Jade Market, and blinked his eyes.

"Today is your birthday, I gave you a nice gift a few days ago."Chris Xu said with a smile.

"That's right." Deng Xiao was moved and confused at the same time, "Why did you run so far, isn't there a lot in Yunhai Shopping Mall?"

After driving for more than an hour to come here, it's a bit of a fuss.

"People who really understand jade will not go to the mall to buy jade."Chris Xu said with a smile, "The goods in the mall are all ten times the law, fooling newcomers who don't understand. We have another purpose here, which is to finish shopping. I'll take you to Shilong Farmhouse for dinner."

"That's great." Deng Xiao kissed him happily.

She is a fan of the gourmet Gongzicheng. After seeing him recommend Shilong Farmhouse on Weibo, she has always wanted to try it.

In the past few days, some of the fan group in Gongzi City have been to this restaurant, and they rated it very highly, which made her even more eager to come and eat once.

"As long as you're happy."Chris Xu said, "Let's go, that store is right in front."

At this time, in front of Su Yang, a lady was watching carefully with a bracelet.

"This one is better than the previous jade beads, but it's far from enough. There are better things in the backyard."Little Dragon's voice sounded in his mind.

"How much is this bracelet?" Su Yang asked.

He wants to explore the price, if he can't afford this, then don't even think about the better ones in the future.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This is an ice species floating flower bracelet, and the price is 300,000 yuan." The female shop assistant said with a smile.

"It's just low ice species. I want 200,000." The lady holding the bracelet said, and turned her head to look at Su Yang indifferently.

Only then did Su Yang see clearly that she was about twenty-five years old, with delicate features and a plump figure. If she could lose three points of weight, she would definitely be a great beauty.

"You are an expert, please wait a moment, I will ask the boss for instructions." The clerk picked up his mobile phone and called for instructions.

"Low ice, sufficient ingredients, barely passable chroma, saturation, concentration, slightly poor craftsmanship, 200,000 yuan is worth it."Big Teeth said.

"It turns out that the real expert is here." The lady said in surprise, "My Zack Yang, and I need to buy some things later, can you help me look."

She just knows a little, but not proficient.

"I don't dare to call you an expert, I've only been in this industry for a few years."Big Teeth was flattered, and hurriedly said, "But today I'm here with my buddies, and I'm paid..."

Although beautiful women are good, money is more important to him now, and it is difficult to be chased by people every day to collect debts.

"No problem, I can also pay you for your hard work, follow me today."Zack Yang said.

She saw that Su Yang was dressed in general, so he probably wasn't a son of a rich family.

"This..."Big Teeth hesitated for a moment, glanced at Su Yang, and finally said, "Sorry, I promised him first, if he finishes buying, I will be happy to help you."

It is obvious that following this beauty will make a lot of money, but thinking of Su Yang's hard fist, forget it.

"Okay, hurry up and choose this handsome guy."Zack Yang said with a smile, and added Big Teeth as a WeChat friend.

Su Yang was a little speechless, glanced at other things in the store, and thought of some excuse to enter the backyard.

At this moment, two people walked into the store.

He froze for a moment, then looked away lightly.

Ever since I met Deng Xiao last time, I have been completely disappointed in her.

Although he remembered that today was Deng Xiao's birthday, he couldn't feel any disturbance in his heart.

"It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia, disappointing!"Chris Xu was also very surprised when he saw it, and snorted.
