Chapter 43 The Farmer
Little Sam's repair card shop changed hands. This news surprised the neighbors in the neighborhood. Many people were worried about the purchasing business and door-to-door service.
The clerk led by Sally was even more worried, not knowing what kind of person the new boss was.
In this era, it is not easy to find a stable job with good income.
But these have nothing to do with Duke.
His spirit dragon card has more than 90 gold dragon deposits, and there are many unsold second-hand cards in the small box, as well as a 2-ring constant temperature card.
Not cheap.
Soon I found a house nearby and rented it, moved all my daily necessities there, and moved a set of old machines that were eliminated, and bid farewell to the little Sam Shuka shop.
"Boss, I will miss you." When parting, Sally gave Duke a hug.
Levin, who helped carry it, also wanted to come and hug him, but he didn't dare. He was still in awe of Duke. Although Duke was only fifteen years old, he didn't usually act like a fifteen-year-old boy.
Duke doesn't like hugs either, he's sweating in summer.
He just patted Levine on the shoulder.
On the way back to the rental house, he saw Best standing in the shade at the intersection. Duke didn't intend to pay attention, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Best.
"You sold Little Sam Shuka's?"
"Um."
I thought I would be gloated and ridiculed by Best, but I didn’t expect Best to sigh: "It must have been bought and sold by force, and someone came to ask me today... You are just a child, and you sold the store after being scared, but I will not agree."
Best's guess is not outrageous, this transfer is indeed suspected of forced buying and selling.
Duke didn't refute, but just asked: "With the pioneering war, Snake Town will definitely be in chaos. Are you sure you can stand it?"
"Of course." Best snorted.
"Then good luck."
Duke turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, don't rush to leave, little Duke." Best followed up, "You have lost the store, you must find a job, why not come to my store."
"Um?"
"I will give you the treatment of an official card repairer, the same as the rules of Little Sam's shop, and I will give you a commission! How about it, there is a little disagreement between us, but it's all for life, isn't it? I'm not the kind of person who makes trouble." Best raised his eyebrows.
He is very confident in his rhetoric, and has a sense of superiority that wants to help the frustrated Duke.
Being misunderstood as downcast, Duke himself wanted to laugh a little.
He looked at Best with his head raised, and slowly shook his head: "No, I want to change jobs."
"Change your job, you stupid, you have been an apprentice for me for a year, haven't you learned a little bit of my skills?" Best said loudly, "Forget it, if you can't repair the card, you can just work as a counter for me. I just drove Bob. My skills and your clever mind will definitely make a big difference!"
Duke has never practiced cards in the daytime, so many people thought that he had just entered the spiritual apprenticeship and could not master the skills of card repairing.
But Best doesn't really care if Duke fixes his card.
He just thinks that Duke is very smart, and the several initiatives he launched in Little Sam Shuka's store almost brought down his own store, and he is a talent for doing business.
"Actually, I'm not interested in doing business." Duke waved his hand.
Seeing this, Best's amiable tone faded: "No way, you don't know how to repair cards, and you don't want to do business, so you want to farm."
Farming?
Duke's eyes lit up.
Then he smiled gently and said, "Why not, my biggest dream when I was a child was to be a farmer, feed cows and horses, grow vegetables and grow wheat."
"I'm not, but I can hire someone." Duke had already made a decision in his mind, waved his hand, and walked away quickly, "Mr. Best, goodbye."
Watching Duke walk away, Best scolded angrily: "I don't know what to do! It doesn't look like a smart person now!"
…
The corner window on the first floor of the Snake Head Tower.
Duke pointed to the small farm on the map that had not yet been bought on the south bank of Xiaohe Bend, and said calmly, "I will lease this farm for ten years!"
This small farm only has one hundred acres of land.
According to the original lease price, the ten-year rent for one mu of land is 10 silver dragons, and the ten-year rent for one hundred mu of land is 10 gold dragons. This amount of money is nothing to Duke now.
Now that the preparations for the pioneering war are in full swing, adventurers from all over the world are flocking here.
The spirit beast has long been frightened and ran away, Xiaohewan Farm will no longer be threatened by spirit beasts.
But at this time the staff said: "The rent is 20 gold dragons."
"What, didn't you only need 10 gold dragons a while ago?"
"You also said that it was a while ago, can it be the same now as it was a while ago? We have opened up the war, how many people are crowding into Sheshou Town, can the rent be the same? Hurry up, do you still want to rent?"
"rent…"
Duke is also free and easy, and the price has doubled and still has not wavered.
Two days later, under the leadership of several town staff, Duke, who had gone through all the formalities, officially rented out the 100-acre farm.
The staff reinserted the border poles of the farm and said to Duke: "Give the farm a name, we are going to register it."
“Let’s call it…Little Duke Farm.” Duke continues the tradition.
Basically, all shops and farms in Sheshou Town will be named after the owner, such as the small Sam Shuka shop.
Waiting for the staff to leave, Duke wandered around the small Duke farm.
Because it is a farm reclaimed from wasteland, there are no crops now, and all kinds of weeds and Artemisia are growing in the ground.
There is no doubt that there is no Lingzhi hiding in it.
The entire 100-acre land is basically flat, with only a small **** on the west side, and the **** is not too steep, about the height of a person from the top to the bottom of the slope.
"Let's build a house on this slope." Duke walked around the farm and fixed his gaze on the small slope.
Although it is not the center of the farm, at least there is a height, so that it is convenient to take care of the whole farm at that time, and you can see any movement at a glance.
During the next few days, Duke ran between the farm and the market town.
Find a construction team to build a house for the farm.
At the same time, they also found someone to set up a barbed wire fence at the border of the farm, and also bought a 1-ring Arcane Card-Reiatsu Conduction.
This arcane card can transmit the spiritual pressure in the metal, and anyone who touches the metal will be attacked by the spiritual pressure.
in short.
This is the high-voltage electricity of the alien version.
After connecting with the surrounding barbed wire, and adding a spiritual storage card to continuously supply energy, the spiritual pressure transmission can be continuously opened, and a "high-voltage power grid fence" is built.
The Seven Towers Federation has no laws prohibiting the establishment of private power grids, and the construction of the 1st ring Arcane Card-Reiki conductive metal mesh is reasonable and in line with the tradition. It is a matter of course for people to protect their property, even if they kill people, nothing will happen.
When the spiritual pressure conductive metal mesh was arranged, the person in charge of the building construction team also came over: "Boss Duke, your interior design is a bit complicated..."
"Can't do it?"
"No, I have to pay more."
