Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 644 - 644: Land

He drew no attention to himself.

But he ran into some Cultivated Talents from the same county and was mocked. Some people who did not know the truth looked down at him as well.

Shao Yunduan did not care. He replied without showing emotions. “Whether or not I am able to make it to the next level doesn’t depend on your words. It depends on the actual result.”

Not everyone was belittling him though. Shao Yunduan had befriended two Cultivated Talents from another county called Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou.

It was the second time for Lu Min to take the examination and the first for Gu

Zhiyou.

The three of them had a nice chat and soon became friends.

On July 12th, the biggest-scaled gathering took place before the examination. Shao Yunduan attended it as well.

Qiao Xuan had looked through every corner of the province, and she was very interested in the outskirts.

She was thinking about buying some nice fields.

She could not get the good fields, which were very popular among landlords and rich people. She stood no chance at acquiring those.

But she could buy drought fields.

If she could buy a few hundred mu, or at least 100 mu, she could plant the cassava and the creeping figs, as well as a few other fruits.

In this way, she would be able to get the ingredients for the dessert stores.

She was thinking that if the southern fruits like longans, lychees, mangos and dragon fruits as well as papayas and grapefruits were all growing well at home, she could get some to grow here as well.

Those were excellent materials for desserts.

She had decided to expand the lipsticks, perfumes and hand-made soaps at the village or in the neighboring areas.

She could help the villagers to become rich, so that no one outside the village would be able to break-in.

Qiao Xuan rented a wagon and went out of the town with Lixia and Liqiu, when Shao Yunduan was out for his gathering.

They went traveling to see if there was any land she could buy.

On this day, the three of them went to the southern suburb ten miles away.

They hiked through a forest and soon entered a flat and wide valley. Qiao

Xuan liked this land very much. The slope was gentle and the valley was wide. Although it looked like there was a lot of gravel and a few boulders taller than a person pop out from time to time, it was no problem planting scallops, cassava, and fruit trees on this land.

More importantly, she could even get a spring at the end of the valley. With the spring, she could use her superpower and everything would be fine.

But for the rocks here, she would not have the chance to acquire this place since it was difficult to open it.

Qiao Xuan liked this land.

The valley, together with the gentle slopes on both sides, plus the other side of the ridges and slopes over the gentle slopes, was a large area. Altogether, there was at least 600 – 700 mu in total.

It would be worth the while though.

Qiao Xuan was calculating it in her head when she pointed at the slope, asking

Lixia and Liqiu. “How about going up there to have a look at the land?” Lixia got the meaning, and smiled.. “You want this land, don’t you?”
