C22 Rent Issues
"Grandma Zhang, you're back."
Seeing Grandma Zhang, Qian Duoduo immediately welcomed her with a smile. Grandma Zhang smiled as she poked Qian Duoduo's forehead.
"Old Wang, Richy Rich has been living here for a long time. Tell Nanny Hua about the matter of the house. The rent should be less."
Qian Duoduo glanced at the middle-aged man behind Grandma Zhang. Just now, she had only noticed that Li Huohua and Li Da had left, but now that this person had left, she realized that the person following behind Grandma Zhang was Li Zheng.
His status was equivalent to the village chief.
Grandma Zhang's son was now a county magistrate, so naturally, he had to give Grandma Zhang some face here.
"Uncle Wang, come. Uncle Wang, sit inside." Although he was afraid of Grandma Zhang, he couldn't just stick his nose in her face. Grandma Zhang even mentioned about the rent.
With his rent, he had to show his attitude no matter what.
"Origin treasure!" Get Uncle a bowl of water. "
Qian Duoduo shouted at the ingots behind him, who immediately went to pour water for Li Zhengzhi.
"Go in and take a seat."
Grandma Zhang also invited him in to take a seat.
Just as Li Jun was looking at Qian Duoduo's broken house with a troubled expression, she couldn't help but feel awkward.
This house was too crappy, but he couldn't refuse Grandma Zhang's invitation.
He had no choice but to brace himself and enter the living room.
Seeing how he both despised and felt helpless, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but curl his lips. Look, does this old lady live in a shitty place like a human's house?
"His mother was born in the alleyway. This house belongs to Grandma Hua. You and I both know the temperament of this old woman Hua of the Eight Ten Li Village. I really can't tell you about the rent, right?"
He also felt that he had been wronged. Who in the village didn't know of Nanny Hua's temper?
Speaking of Li Huo Hua just now, it could only be said to be a small matter.
Last year, she scolded for half a month just because a vegetable seedling in her house had been stepped on by someone's dog. No one dared to ignore her.
"Aren't you righteous? You should at least tell her about it. Besides, it's not the only house in her family. "
"His mother was born in an alley, this …" This Zhang Liusheng was even a county magistrate. With such a big official, how could he not come?
"Grandma Zhang, don't make things difficult for Uncle Wang. If the rent can't be reduced, then it doesn't need to be. I'm working with the prince right now, so I can at least get a salary. It's more than enough to pay the rent."
Qian Duoduo timely stepped forward. He had met Nanny Hua once before, and her temper was indeed quite bad.
"You're still the most sensible."
Li was looking at Qian Duoduo with a gratified expression.
These words made Grandma Zhang dissatisfied and her face immediately darkened. "What?" Say that I'm old and insensible? "
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant …"
"Uncle Wang means that since Nanny Hua's momentum is too strong, Uncle Wang has no other choice." Qian Duoduo stood out to help Li Zheng out.
Although he was working for the prince and had a county magistrate's mother by his side, he was still a powerful man. If something really happened in the future, then that would be the best choice.
Right now, the most important thing for him to do was to bring Li Zheng into his faction. At the very least, he would have a good impression of him.
"Forget it. Looking at how you are now, there's nothing I can do about it." Grandma Zhang did not press him any further. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Seeing that Grandma Zhang had finally let him go, Li Zheng couldn't sit still either. He found a random reason to slip away from Qian Duoduo's house.
"Grandma Zhang was out on a trip just now."
Qian Duoduo hurriedly poured water for Grandma Zhang to drink. This was something that was unrelated to other people. For her to help him like this was a blessing she had cultivated in her entire life.
"I went out to look for Old Wang. I haven't even warmed up my butt when I heard that Li Lotus was coming to cause trouble at your house, so I dragged Old Wang along with me."
Originally, he went to find Li Zheng to talk about the problem of how much money he had to pay for the rent.
She had a good idea of what kind of person Nanny Hua was, and wanted Li Zheng to step in and settle this matter.
Who knew that this Old Wang was also someone who couldn't be said for sure?
"Thank you, Grandma Zhang. You don't need to worry about the rent. I'm helping the prince, and the prince has already spoken. If I need anything, just ask him."
"The matter of the rent is not related to the prince."
"Why aren't you touching the side!" Once Qian Duoduo said this, his interest was piqued, "Look, I'm here to help him with his work. I need to plant the land. I need to divide the seeds, right?"
I'm only in this area, and this can be considered as a part of the land. Since it's considered a part of the land, it should be the prince who pays for it. "
Grandma Zhang followed Qian Duoduo's train of thought and slipped a thread. It seemed to be the case.
"So, you don't have to worry about that. This place needs a public fund to support it."
Richy Rich: So, in a while, this item must be written down in the event list. Let the prince give it to the old lady!
"Grandma Zhang, you can sit here for a while. I still have some things to do and I still have to write some lists for the prince, so I won't accompany you for now."
Grandma Zhang waved her hand. "Write, write. Work well with the prince. I'm tired after walking for a while today. I'll go back and rest for a while."
Seeing that Qian Duoduo was about to get up to send her off, Grandma Zhang quickly put Qian Duoduo's hand down. "No need to send me off. I'll be there in two steps. Go handle your own matters."
After Grandma Zhang insisted, Qian Duoduo let go of her hand. He watched as Grandma Zhang reached home, then took out a brush and ink.
Just as he was about to make a move, Qian Duoduo paused. If this ingot said that he had taught him to read before, then the original owner must have been able to write.
But... This word... She wasn't sure if it was traditional or not.
Simplified characters were definitely not possible, so Richy Rich directly wrote two traditional characters on the paper for Yuanbao to recognize.
"Yuanbao, what are you reading?"
Yuanbao picked up the paper and looked at it for a moment. "I know, Mother. These two words are used to read ingots. It's the name of the ingot."
Qian Duoduo nodded in satisfaction. "The ingots are awesome." It seemed like the traditional Chinese characters were right!
Very soon, more than a few coins were added to the list of items on the paper. After carefully checking that there were no mistakes, he put the paper away.
When Yuan Bao fell asleep that night, Qian Duoduo finally snuck into the space. The last two times they came, they were both in a hurry. This time, she had to study it carefully.
There were all kinds of seeds, but there weren't many. It should be used to make enough seeds.
Gu Ma-li said that the land, she temporarily wanted to use for the cultivation of yam, first to see the results.
There was also the problem of spring water, which was certainly not as effective as the water in the laboratory to make the crops grow faster, but the water in the laboratory was difficult to get out.
Also, the crop was growing too fast, so it might arouse the suspicion of others.
Qian Duoduo pondered for a while, and suddenly laid his hand on the experiment table, "Why are you so stupid!?" Use the water from the laboratory to plant it, and then use it to plant it outside! "
Although this method allowed crops to grow less quickly than in the laboratory, it was definitely faster than the outside. However, it was not as fast as the outside method.
Richy Rich: I really admire your intelligence!
