That evening, Lin Jinyue returned to the system space.
Her parents also came along to help her farm.
The daughter was extremely worried, and Lin Shucheng and the others didn't know what to do. Jiang Yun even wanted to go to the city to see if there was any wealthy, kind-hearted businessman who would pay her a high price to treat her.
But Jiang Yun was really worried about the people in the village.
This area is all primeval forest, and recently people have been frequently bitten by poisonous insects, so she can't leave.
So, after much thought, the two decided that farming was the only option.
You can make some money, at least.
Seeing that they were about to plant the last piece of land, Lin Jinyue quickly stopped them: "Father, Father, don't plant it. I have plans for this piece of land."
Lin Shucheng looked over, puzzled.
Lin Jinyue granted them access: "Dad, look at these seeds."
Lin Shucheng was astonished: "Wow, so many more seeds? We haven't even leveled up yet!"
"That's not the point..."
Lin Jinyue explained why there were so many seeds.
That's because they collected enough seeds; once they reached a certain quantity, the system would unlock the seeds.
Lin Jinyue continued, "I'm showing you the prices of fruit seedlings and seeds."
The price of seeds is one-tenth the price of seedlings.
Lin Shucheng: "The survival rate is hard to say, and these saplings look like they've been growing for several months..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence.
Lin Shucheng seemed to have understood his daughter's plan.
Lin Jinyue then said, "That's right. So, I plan to keep that piece of land specifically for planting seeds. After they grow into seedlings, I'll plant them in the mountains. Plus, the space-time flow is faster."
Even with such loopholes, it would still cost a lot of money to plant so many fruit trees across the land.
The next morning, Magistrate Ding did not come, but people from the county came to measure the land.
Lin Jinyue was not in a hurry to go to Shawan County. Instead, she took out a lot of local products to entertain these people, showing no disrespect because of their low rank.
Iced coconuts, stir-fried snails, and barbecue—they'll all be served.
Lin Jinyue thoughtfully gave each of them a few medicine packets: "Uncle, wear these on your bodies, they will help keep out some insects, otherwise this morning will be too unbearable."
These people felt very comforted upon hearing this.
This young girl is truly kind-hearted. Usually, when they do these kinds of work, those wealthy men who buy land look down on them with their noses in the air.
Lin Jinyue even thought of the mosquitoes and poisonous insects in the woods and prepared medicine pouches for them!
When these people first heard that they would have to measure 10,000 mu, they were filled with dread. But when they thought about the smell of the stir-fried snails they had just eaten and how the villagers had quickly prepared meat and barbecue for them, they felt a sense of relief.
Where can you usually find so many delicious foods?
So, when they were measuring the land, they allocated some extra land to them.
They are poor here and their tools are rudimentary, so it's not unusual for them to make measurement mistakes.
Anyway, this place is far from the capital, and the county magistrate has a good impression of this group. Young Master Xie hasn't even negotiated the price for the land yet, so what's wrong with giving him more land?
Lin Jinyue watched them measure the land, and the location was much larger than she had imagined.
Moreover, the name of their village has been decided.
—Yunhe Village.
That's right, it's Yunhe Village.
Lin Jinyue liked this name and couldn't bear to change it.
So that day, Magistrate Ding said that the original Yunhe Village could be changed to Chenjia Village, and the name Yunhe Village would belong to Lin Jinyue.
They have 10,000 mu of land, and it will take them a considerable amount of time to measure it.
Lin Jinyue then took her brother to wander around Shawan County.
Shawan County is the closest county to their village. She even used the system's timer to calculate that it would take about an hour and a half to row to the shore, and then another half hour to rent a horse-drawn carriage.
Lin Jinyue wondered if she could talk to the old man next time she went there and ask him to give her a monthly pass for a discount, otherwise it would be too tiring to walk there.
After arriving in Shawan County, Lin Jinyue wandered around.
After just one glance, the two of them simultaneously looked toward a shop not far from the dock.
Since the shop originally sold food, they didn't need to buy any additional tables and chairs.
This area is considered quite prosperous. The wharf leads to Guangcheng, the prefectural capital of Lingnan. Therefore, this area is considered the "rich area" of Shawan County, and things sold here are expensive.
A bowl of sweet soup can be bought for just one coin at the dessert shop outside the East Gate.
The same sweet soup can sell for five coins here.
These are just the small vendors outside; the prices in these restaurants and teahouses are even more expensive.
Lin Jinyue wants to sell iced drinks, and this place is perfect for that.
The shop that Lin Jinyue chose wasn't very big, but it was clean and tidy, though there weren't many people there.
The food must have tasted bad; there was a "For Rent" sign hanging outside.
Lin Jinyue went inside and started discussing prices with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was about fifty years old. He offered fair prices, ten taels of silver a month. There was also a small courtyard in the back kitchen where people could live.
Lin Jinyue took a liking to it at first sight.
You don't even need to go anywhere else.
If she had the money, she would have bought the shop outright.
The shopkeeper is easy to talk to.
The shops here are rented for a minimum of one year, and you pay the rent for the whole year upfront.
Lin Jinyue wanted to save more money, so she asked, "Uncle Shopkeeper, can I pay once a month?"
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Sure, but if you decide not to rent it, you'll have to let me know in advance so I can make further plans."
Lin Jinyue was overjoyed and prepared to pay for the contract.
