Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 419 - Chapter 419 419.Bags Mountain Contract_1

Chapter 419: 419.Bags Mountain Contract_1 Chapter 419: 419.Bags Mountain Contract_1 Song Youde sighed, “That’ll work, just hurry up–is there still a shortage of funds? Your grandpa still has some savings…”

The old man’s passion for business was surging now, and not a minute could be spared.

Song Tan was helpless, “…Alright, alright, I’ll go talk tonight.” She was going to plant grass tonight.

By next year, she’d have to plant a large area!

With her grandfather’s earnest hopes, Song Tan busied herself with tasks in the afternoon and then immediately sought out Secretary Xiaozu.

“The money is almost all there, when can we sign the contract?”

Secretary Xiaozu was organizing documents at the moment, and upon hearing her, he perked up, “Right now, immediately!!! The contract terms are all what we discussed earlier, you sign it and we’ll head to the town office to process it! Once the procedure is complete, it’ll take effect!”

As for whether the town would agree or not…

Oh, their village only had a few people left? With such a vast expanse of mountain tops, which had nothing special about them–able to generate income for the village and improve the villagers’ lives–how could they disagree?

If the town didn’t agree, there were plenty of privately-owned lands in the village; people had large tracts of it!

Here, the contract also included separate agreements signed by Zhang Wang and three other villagers. The majority of the mountain land belonged to the village, but some fields adjacent to it were leased from other villagers.

But because there weren’t many people left in the village, the elderly couldn’t farm so much land, and the young rarely came back to farm. Leaving it idle was a waste; might as well rent it out and make some money.

Of course, because the village was poor, the rent was very cheap.

“Including the mountains and fields, that’s a total of two hundred and eighty mu. You’ve worked out a private deal with Zhang Wang’s family for those 30-plus mu, which you’ll calculate separately. The village is just facilitating the process for you.”

Originally, Secretary Xiaozu had planned for just under two hundred and fifty mu, but since the deal was done, Song Tan did not leave out even a separate small hill on the periphery.

A family should be complete and united, after all.

“It’s 242 mu of mountain land, 200 per mu. The fields are 38 mu, 500 per mu. You also know about the duration from last time; the village will give you seventy years for the mountain land, but it’ll be automatically extended to seventy years after the first thirty have lapsed–it’s the policy.”

Yunqiao Village, or in fact, whether it’s the Qingxi Town it belonged to or Yun City, wasn’t very developed.

The land prices hadn’t changed much over these years; not to mention the barren mountains, even the 500 yuan per mu fields didn’t include any crops, and it was considered a good deal for the villagers.

As for the duration…

“However, you don’t really need such a long term. In fifty years, you won’t even be able to lift the basket anymore, and who knows what your descendants will want…”

“There’s no choice about the fields; though they could lease for up to fifty years, these villagers, who own their land, are only willing to sign for ten years.”

“No problem,” Song Tan was easy-going, “if they really don’t renew later, it’s definitely because either they or someone else wants to develop in the village, and by then, I surely won’t lack this bit of land.”

That made sense.

This time as an investor, Secretary Xiaozu personally drove her to the town–having arranged this matter days in advance. Now that the God of Wealth was coming to give money, the process was swift.

Only Song Tan, when making the payment, felt her heart tremble.

Lucky for her, her old classmates had been generous with their funds; otherwise, she couldn’t have afforded this venture!

While making up the seventy thousand yuan she owed from before, another new down payment flowed out like water…

“By the way, other subsidies have been arriving, but why hasn’t the subsidy for my mountain orchard come yet?”

Secretary Xiaozu glanced at her, “Do you really need that few tens of thousands now?”

“I need it!”

Song Tan tugged out the pockets of her sun protection clothing, quite brazenly, “Look, I don’t even have money for ice cream.”

Zu Jun: …

“Alright, alright, I’ll buy it for you–I mean, there’s no rush to spend this bit of money. Might as well wait until the peaches are ripe before inviting others over.”

“Don’t you know how delicious the stuff from your mountain is? Can’t let them leave empty-handed! Plus, their line of work is all related to orchards, who knows, they might even bring a few sales channels with them!”

“No matter how confident you are in selling, the quicker you sell, the better it definitely is. I’ve seen the Eagle Beak Peaches, they have a shelf life, but not a long one. Especially since you’re selling at a high price, the details must be spot on.”

“Now that you have all the paperwork complete and everything registered, have you arranged for the branding stickers and uniform packaging?”

These were heartfelt concerns and meticulous worries–there was no helping it, who else but Song Tan’s family could make money in the village?

The impoverished village secretary sighed.

Song Tan’s lips curled up in pride–now with Wu Lei for might and Yanping for wit, her family was indeed living happily, ha ha ha–

She pointed to the freezer: “I want an old-fashioned popsicle.”

Huh?

This made Secretary Xiaozu pause: “Just this? Ah, not bad, even starting to save me some money–Boss, give me two–ah, I haven’t eaten these in years, how come the price has gone up? One yuan fifty each?”

A wealthy Bags Mountain landowner and a village secretary holding popsicles priced at one yuan fifty each, at this moment, both let out sighs: “The cost of living, ah!”

Song Tan also heaved a sigh: “When I get back, I’ll make some watermelon juice popsicles!” Add lots of water, and just a pinch of salt!

But, although life was happy now, she was also busy at night!

Song Tan, in the starlit and moonlit night, traversed several valleys before finally reaching her destination–

Her grandfather’s reed-like grass couldn’t wait even a day. Now without the fishermen coming, it was Xin Jun who had to take care of the photography and editing–compared to Zhang Yanping, whose photography skills were somewhat appalling.

Alas.

Song Tan sighed silently.

Back in the Cangxuan Realm–how to put it, the spiritual energy was rich, truly a golden era for cultivation. “Golden Cores walking everywhere” wasn’t an exaggeration at all!

Among her peers, there were three young prodigies. It wasn’t top-notch anymore to attract Qi overnight and reach Foundation Establishment in a month; there was even someone who had an epiphany, waking up at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

In comparison, her taking half a year to reach Foundation Establishment was rather ordinary, lost in the crowd.

But now, well…

She tossed the ball of spiritual energy from hand to hand, careful not to let it leak even a bit.

At present, she, still dawdling with Qi Refinement after half a year, wasn’t seeking speed anymore, just working hard secretly at night!

After crossing mountains and ridges, she finally reached a depression–

Originally, a fairly large pond had dried up due to lack of rain. Plus, with unchecked water weeds, the pond progressively shrunk to a mere eight mu of water.

And on the two mu of flat land reclaimed from the edges of the pond, reed-like grass slowly took over.

But reed-like grass also required scientific management.

Now, with no one to tend it, it grew wildly: neither sturdy nor dense, with varying heights and thicknesses.

While holding a flashlight, Song Tan entered, the grass startled snakes, insects, rodents, and ants into motion. Watching a plump banded snake slither past her feet, she couldn’t help but laugh–

No wonder it’s so fat; it was living amidst its entire menu!
