The three selected plots of land have similar conditions. They are all next to the river, have water plants and hillsides, and are very suitable for pasture.

The part of the land in Lijiazhuang next to the river is smaller than that in Xiaowangtun, and the hillside area is smaller than that in Xiushui Village. Other than that, the overall area is similar.

Manager Cao wanted to buy the land in Xiaowangtun, but Li Qingyou preferred Lijiazhuang, and the disagreement unfolded.

"Foals like to eat water and grass near the river. The horses that grow up in this way are stronger." Manager Cao argued that what kind of pasture was in his mind, this was simply a horse farm.

The Third Young Master said that if he wants to raise a horse, he must raise the horse well.

"Manager Cao, I think we raise livestock rather than fish and shrimp. Even if we like to eat grass by the water, it doesn't mean we have to go down to the river to eat grass in the water. As long as there is a river, it is enough." Li Qingyou said calmly: "

In addition, more hills are more suitable for horses to run, right?”

"The hillside in Xiushui Village is bigger." Manager Cao immediately climbed up the pole. In short, he didn't want the land in Lijiazhuang.

It's not that he hates Lijiazhuang, but when he went to see the land in Lijiazhuang that day, he was surprised by the attitude of the Li family. It turned out that Li Qingyou belonged to the Li family.

This is not possible. An orphan girl is easy to control, but if this orphan girl has a family behind her, many things will be much more troublesome for him. He does not need such uncertain factors.

Even if the Li family is nothing but mud-legged people.

What he wants is that Li Qingyou is isolated and helpless and can only rely on him to survive.

"It won't work if the hillside is too big. We raise war horses, not stupid horses. Crossing the river is also a skill." Li Qingyou returned calmly, "And Lijiazhuang is closer to the county town for transporting supplies and so on.

It’s also more convenient.”

In addition to these, it is also because the Li clan members in Lijiazhuang are relatives of Old Man Li after all. She cannot forget the kindness of the old couple in raising her for three years. She cannot repay this kindness to the old couple, but it is okay to at least benefit the Li clan.

.

Moreover, Li Qingyou also understood that these days, Manager Cao was doing everything himself, trying to make people take him as the center, and he was the only boss in their eyes.

This is a way to distract her.

Although she has nothing to do with the Li family, they are still from the same family. In terms of distance, people from the Li family will be more inclined to her side. This is one of the reasons why Li Qingyou chose the Li family.

"But..." Manager Cao wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Li Qingyou.

"If Manager Cao doesn't agree, you can go back and ask your third son for your opinion." Li Qingyou was not interested in talking about these meaningless things anymore and ended the topic simply and rudely.

Manager Cao was frustrated. Not to mention that the Third Young Master had returned to Fucheng a few days ago. Even if he was still there, there was no need to ask the Third Young Master. He had already said that Li Qingyou's thoughts would prevail.

"Then..." Manager Cao endured it. Even if he bought land from the Li family, so what? He had inquired that Li Qingyou was adopted and had a bad relationship with the Li family and was very nervous. In this case, she wanted to

It is not so easy to grasp the overall situation.

"Shall we ask Xu Dibao to go to Lijiazhuang to write the documents for purchasing the land?" said Manager Cao.

Li Qingyou waved his hand, "Don't worry, wait and see. Didn't you find the masons? Meet them today and confirm the matter of wood and stone."

Manager Cao was stunned for a moment, wondering what she was doing.

Seeing that Li Qingyou had already gone out, she hurriedly followed her.

"Don't we have to buy the land first?" Manager Cao followed with a nonchalant look on his face, "Everything must be done step by step. We are not sure where the land is, where we will put the wood and stones, and how will the masons start work?"

It’s true that she has a hairless mouth and cannot do things well. No, it’s a woman who is short-sighted.

"It doesn't matter. It's not like you have to put on socks first and then shoes to put on shoes. Just do it at the same time." Li Qingyou walked in front without looking back. There were some things she could listen to Cao, but for some important matters related to her personal interests, she had to

Gotta persist.

Manager Cao probably also discovered this, and followed Li Qingyou silently, feeling quite unwilling, but he could only endure it.

In the next few days, Li Qingyou took Manager Cao to look at the wood and stones, and also brought Zhao Xiaoshan with him. After all, he is a carpenter and he also knows about wood.

"The beams need to be stronger. If they are careless and someone is killed, it is better to use pine wood. For the others, just use poplar wood..." Zhao Xiaoshan took a look and whispered a few words to Li Qingyou quietly, "And the price seems too high.

.”

When he was an apprentice next to the master, he also went to buy wood with him, and he also knew a little bit about the price. At that time, the small amount they bought would have to be cheaper. Now, purchasing such a large quantity is not cheap at all, which doesn't make sense.

In particular, the lumber dealer named Liu in front of me was the most cunning and cunning, often substituting inferior quality goods for good ones. Last time, the lumber he delivered to Zhang Dashan's house was wrong and was beaten out by Zhang Dashan's family.

Looking at Manager Cao who has been discussing various matters with the lumber dealer in front of him, don't ask, the problem must be with him.

Li Qingyou nodded, "I understand."

Zhao Xiaoshan wanted to say something more, but Li Qingyou had already walked to Manager Cao.

"It's easy to talk about the price, but you must make sure not to make any mistakes, and you must ensure that you send us the best wood, otherwise don't blame me for not paying you the bill." Manager Cao explained to the lumber dealer.

The lumber dealer nodded repeatedly.

Manager Cao then explained to Li Qingyou: "It's a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. It's better than them fooling us with defective products."

Li Qingyou nodded and made a concession at the right time, "I know, everything else is easy to talk about. The key is not to make mistakes."

"This is exactly the reason." Guanshi Cao's gloomy heart finally became a little brighter.

The wood matter was almost finalized, as well as the stone. Li Qingyou was going to visit a nearby stone workshop in the afternoon, but was stopped by Manager Cao.

"Today is the beginning of autumn. After working hard these days, let's rest for a long time. Besides, people in the stone workshop should go home for the holidays." Manager Cao said, "It's the same thing if you get up early and go back tomorrow."

Today, someone came to his house, saying they were bringing him autumn and winter clothes. Also coming with him was his favorite concubine. Now he was anxious to go back and have a good time.

Furthermore, the Shen family gave rewards to their servants during every New Year and festival. If he didn't go back, his share might have been missed.

When he said this, Li Qingyou remembered that it was the beginning of autumn today, and when she went out in the morning, Xiaoshan Niang specially told her to go back early so that she could take care of her autumn fat.

"Okay, let's go back today and talk about anything tomorrow." Li Qingyou said.
