Chapter 90 I want to build a B&B
The two plots of land in front and behind her house had been planted with seeds by ghosts before, with some cabbage, chrysanthemum, spinach, radish...all kinds of vegetables, some of each.
After a month, some vegetables in the field have grown, and a lot of weeds have also grown.
After reading it, Yang Fan made a plan in her mind. She would ask Jian Xiangdi and others to clear the weeds in the two plots of land in the evening. Also, she was going to ask Grandma Xu if she had any potato seeds.
Potatoes are root plants. Unlike the seeds of cabbage, their seeds are just potatoes with sprouts.
Farmers save some potatoes every year to use as seeds for the next year.
Yang Fan went to Grandma Xu's house. Grandma Wu and her daughter, Grandpa Li and Grandma Xu, and Wang Dequan and his grandson were all there. Xiao Lin was sitting next to Grandma Xu, talking to her with a gossipy expression.
There were two bodyguards in black uniforms following them. An auntie in maid's clothes was carrying things and going in and out, obviously cleaning the house.
Seeing her coming, Grandma Wu at the edge of the yard was the first to call Yang Fan and pulled her to sit on the empty stool next to her.
"What's wrong?" Yang Fan asked.
Although the expression on Grandma Wu's face was the same as before, Yang Fan could still see a hint of nervousness and fear in her eyes.
Grandma Wu lowered her voice and asked her, "Master, I want to ask if this ghost can hurt people?"
Although there is a saying that goes like this: The ghost you are afraid of may be the person that others think about day and night.
Grandma Wu knew the story of Wang Dequan and his daughter, and felt a little sorry for Wang Zhenzhu's tragic experience, but - if the father and daughter were to meet in the B&B at night.
Grandma Wu was still a little scared, especially because her daughter had been afraid of watching horror movies since she was a child.
Before, Yang Fan summoned ghosts in her yard. They believed in Yang Fan’s abilities, so they didn’t feel scared.
Just now Xiao Lin accidentally let slip that Wang Dequan will meet his daughter in this room in the evening.
That meant that the ghost was going to come to their house, and Wang Dequan lived on the same floor as them, the third floor, so the mother and daughter were a little scared.
Grandma Xu and Grandpa Li both knew Wang Zhenzhu, so they reacted slowly and didn't think there was anything wrong with the incident.
But there were some problems for Grandma Wu and her daughter. If Yang Fan didn't come, they planned to go look for her.
Wu Chenxi looked at Yang Fan for help, and the fear on her face was visible to the naked eye. "Master, can you please not let the ghost come out? She is scared."
Why didn't Yang Fan take precautions against this kind of problem? What if the guests were scared and no longer came to the village for vacation?
"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid," Yang Fan explained, "She will only appear in Wang Dequan's room. She can't leave that room or go anywhere else."
The talisman not only allows people in the house to see ghosts, but also restricts the ghosts from leaving the house. If they leave the house, they will be forcibly brought back.
After she said this, Wu Chenxi and her daughter felt relieved.
As long as the master guaranteed that the ghost could not leave the house, the two of them would feel relieved.
However, the words of the mother and daughter did remind Yang Fan that even if she had made all the necessary preparations, ghosts were still something that could scare people.
The saying is also true the other way around. Even if that ghost is someone you think about day and night, it does not change the fact that she is a ghost.
In the long run, it may affect the business of B&Bs.
Yang Fan's gaze moved to the house above her house. That house was one of the few in the village that had not been built into a homestay like hers.
It's a small two-story building with peeling walls and moldy spots. After the old man of the family passed away two years ago, the young people have settled in the city and rarely come back.
That house could be bought and converted into a B&B, where people and ghosts can meet.
"Yang Fan."
Her thoughts were interrupted by Grandma Xu's call, and Yang Fan responded and walked over there.
"Yang Fan, your uncle Wenwu sent us some wild mushrooms," Grandma Xu pulled Yang Fan and Xiao Lin into the house, "Come and take a look, and take some back to eat."
Wild mushrooms, they must be delicious when cooked in hotpot!
Yang Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
As they walked, Grandma Xu said, "He sent too much. We can't finish it all in a short time. It will go bad after a while."
Li Wenwu, a freelancer, often sends local specialties to Grandma Xu. This time he went to Yunnan and bought some wild mushrooms to send back to Grandma Xu. Grandma Xu took them to the kitchen, and Li Wenwu sent a big box of mushrooms.
There are many kinds of mushrooms in it, and we sent them some non-toxic wild mushrooms to prevent the old couple from accidentally getting poisoned.
Xiao Lin was surprised, "So many mushrooms."
"We can't finish so many, you can take some back," Grandma Xu said, holding a plastic bag and handing mushrooms to Yang Fan.
Xiao Lin couldn't help drooling when she thought of the mushroom hotpots she had seen online. "This mushroom hotpot is so delicious."
Grandma Xu: "Take it back and cook it in hot pot. Go to the fields and pick some vegetables to cook in hot pot later."
Xiao Lin said several good words happily.
When talking about the vegetables in the field, Yang Fan remembered the purpose of his visit. "By the way, Grandma Xu, do you have any potato seeds? I want some."
"Do you want to plant potatoes?" asked Grandma Xu.
Yang Fan hummed, "There's still some space on my land, I want to plant some potatoes."
"There are no more potatoes left. None of our families have any," said Grandma Xu. "In the past few years, the crops on the fields were inedible, and we couldn't save potatoes for seeds. We have no more potatoes left."
"If you want it, ask Grandpa Li to take you to other villages to ask. There must be something in other villages."
Yang Fan: "Okay."
There is no rush for this matter.
After leaving Grandma Xu's house, Yang Fan drove his tricycle to the village committee.
Since you are thinking of buying that house, you should go to Li Wenlin and ask him about the situation.
She rushed to the village committee and found Li Wenlin to express her thoughts.
"You want to buy the Zhao family's house and turn it into a farmhouse?" Li Wenlin was a little surprised.
Yang Fan: "Yes, let's set up a small shop. There is no small shop in the village now."
Every time the villagers want to buy some daily necessities, they have to go to the town.
After the house is built, the first floor can be turned into a convenience store.
"But his house is not very good," Li Wenlin said rather vaguely, "even his family members don't want to live in that house."
When the trend of running farm stays was very popular in the village, the Zhao family did not do it.
It was because several people had died in that house, and the Zhao family members living there had trouble with everything they did, so they all disliked that old house.
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Uncle, have you forgotten what I did?"
And she didn't think there was anything wrong with the house from the outside.
Oh, she is a master herself, why would she be afraid that the house is not good?
Li Wenlin slapped his forehead as if he had suddenly realized something, "I almost forgot about this."
"Okay, then I'll help you contact the Zhao family and ask them if they'll sell it."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, uncle." Yang Fan said.
"No trouble," Li Wenlin reminded, "By the way, the leaders and experts will be here the day after tomorrow, so remember to stay at home the day after tomorrow."
The leaders and experts who were originally scheduled to come last week have delayed their arrival until now.
"Okay, I'll remember it."
