Chapter 100 100 Logging Depth

  Cao An stepped forward and knocked on the door.

   After a while, someone came to open the door.

   is a well-dressed middle-aged woman, wearing fine cotton cloth and a silver hairpin on her head.

   Seeing Cao An, the woman's attitude was not bad.

   Seeing Qin Xiaoyao behind Cao An, the woman's expression was not very good.

   glanced at Qin Xiaoyao's patched clothes several times, and the disgust was very obvious.

  Qin Xiaoyao is not too particular about what she wears, and because she went into the city to deliver goods, she did rough work, so she didn't change into new clothes.

   But unexpectedly, I met someone who cared about this.

   But she didn't mind.

   She came to buy a yard, not to be seen by others.

   As long as she can come up with the money to buy the yard, won't it be?

   "Auntie, this is my third sister and brother-in-law, who came to see the yard." Cao An just pretended not to see the woman's reaction, and introduced to the woman.

  The woman then noticed Song Que who showed her head behind Qin Xiaoyao.

   was startled for a moment, and then moved away.

   "Come in." He continued.

   "Hey, good!" Cao An responded with a smile, and led Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que into the door.

   "There are five bedrooms in our yard, plus the main room, kitchen, utility room, firewood room and thatched hut, there are a total of ten rooms."

   "The yard is also spacious. It is possible to build a shed or even open a plot of land to grow vegetables." The woman pointed to a large area that was vacated not far away.

   "If we weren't in a hurry to move to the county, we would be reluctant to sell!" After saying that, the woman glanced at Qin Xiaoyao.

   Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was ignoring himself, but was looking at the house, he turned his eyes to Song Que.

   When he saw Song Que's face, he shook his head.

   It's really a flower inserted in cow dung...

  Song Que frowned, causing the woman to withdraw her gaze.

   then asked, "Is there a well in the yard?"

   "Yes, there it is!" the woman said quickly.

  The crowd followed the woman's point and saw that there was indeed a well not far from the wall.

  Because the yard is big, it is not easy to find if you don’t look for it carefully.

  Qin Xiaoyao saw Song Que's movements, stepped forward to support him, and walked towards the well.

  The woman and Cao An looked at each other and followed.

   "Is there a lot of water in your well?" Song Que asked while walking.

   "Too much! Even during the severe drought five years ago, this well in my house was never short of water. At that time, many neighbors came to my house to borrow water!" The woman hurriedly said.

  Song Que ignored it.

After    arrived at the well, he probed again to see what was going on in the well.

   "How deep is this well?" Immediately asked.

   "How deep?" The woman was taken aback.

   thought for a while and said, "When the well was dug, my boss specifically instructed him to dig a little deeper. Therefore, after discovering the spring, he dug further down. The total depth is estimated to be four or five feet."

After    finished speaking, the woman looked at Song Que suspiciously. I don't understand why the young man asked himself this.

   It can be seen that the other party has a good-looking appearance, and she doesn't mind talking to him a few more words.

  Song Que glanced around the yard and saw that there was a clothes pole in the yard. Visually measuring the length, it is almost exactly four or five feet.

   "Can I borrow your pole to measure it?" So, Song Que said.

   The coming drought is more severe than the one five years ago.

   At that time, most of the wells in the city will be short of water. Only wells with a depth of more than 40 feet will be less likely to dry up.

   He was actually satisfied with the size and location of the yard.

  If the depth of the well is more than 40 feet and the price is right, they can buy it.

When the woman heard this, her face sank.

   I felt that the two people in front of me were joking with me and making fun of myself.

   Just as he was about to refuse politely, Cao An walked up to her and pulled her aside.

   I don't know what Cao An whispered to the woman. Although the woman still had a calm face, she was relieved.

   "If you want to try it, do it yourself. But you'll have to clean up the pole later and put it back for me."

   "Complete!" Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly responded.

   Then, without waiting for Song Que's orders, he ran over to get the clothes drying pole.

   Next, listen to Song Que's command and measure the depth of the well with a pole.

  In the end, Qin Xiaoyao submerged all the poles underwater and stretched his arm down a bit before reaching the bottom of the well.

   "It's over." Qin Xiaoyao looked up at Song Que.

  Song Que nodded.

   "Get up."

   Qin Xiaoyao just got up.

   Then take out the pole, clean it up, and return to its original place.

  The woman didn't say anything when she saw Qin Xiaoyao's actions.

   "Is there a cellar?" Then, Song Que said again.

  The woman frowned and looked at Cao An.

  Cao An quickly spoke.

   "There is no cellar. But the yard is big, so it's no problem to open a cellar."

   said and pointed to Song Que.

   "On the open space over there, clean up and open a cellar, no problem at all."

   Qin Xiaoyao came over at this time.

   "I think so! It's not hard to dig the cellar anyway. Let my dad and the others come to help, and it can be done in half a day!" He said.

   She is very satisfied with the yard. The main yard is big and the room doesn't look too small.

  Song Que glanced at Qin Xiaoyao, then nodded.

   "Let's go and see the house." He continued.

   Cao An breathed a sigh of relief, and then let the woman continue to lead the way.

The    woman's face was already very impatient, but she thought that she had wasted half a day of work, and she didn't want to give up halfway.

   can only continue to take three people to look at the house.

   As a result, the situation of the house was better than the couple expected.

  The furniture in the bedroom is perfect, and there are even two rooms with bookcases and bookshelves.

  The main room is well-lit and wide enough to fit two large tables.

  The kitchen is also very wide, and there are many more types of cooking utensils than the Song family.

   Even the utility room, firewood room and thatched hut next to it made Qin Xiaoyao very satisfied.

  The room is big and can put a lot of things.

   In addition, the thatched hut is also partitioned to separate the area for bathing. It made her like it even more.

   "Can you keep all the furniture, cooking utensils, etc. at home?" So Qin Xiaoyao couldn't hold back his joy and asked the woman.

  The woman gave Qin Xiaoyao an angry look.

   "You can leave all of them, add an extra 12 taels." He said.

   Qin Xiaoyao's expression became colder, he looked at Song Que and asked Song Que's opinion.

   Seeing Song Que nodding to himself, he looked at the woman again.

   "Two hundred and thirty taels of silver, plus all the things in the yard." He said.

The    woman was surprised.

  I didn't expect Qin Xiaoyao to actually buy it.

   At the moment, the attitude is also much better.

   "No! Our selling price was two hundred and forty taels before. Now that we are giving away furniture, how could it be reduced by ten taels instead."

   Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

   "You're going to the county seat, it's not convenient to carry so many things."

   "Come on again, it's all used stuff, so it's not worth taking with you, isn't it?"
