Finally arriving home, the two brothers Gu Qingjue and his elder brother were moving things. Gu Qingming immediately ran to the kitchen hall to look at the rabbits placed in the corner.
Su Yixin took rice, noodles, meat, tofu and dried tofu, then turned to the mountain and brought back a pot of wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Mother Fang won't come until tomorrow, so she will cook the dinner for dinner.
Thinking that there were several more people in the family, Su Yixin steamed two pots of rice and fried eight vegetables, thinking that it would be enough no matter what.
It soon became apparent that she was wrong.
Su Yixin finally understood why Huang Yazi looked at her with sympathy when she decided to bring Zeng Shengji back.
This amount of food would really deplete her over time.
Sure enough, there is no free advantage in this world. What you gain here will be lost elsewhere!
Zeng Shengji burped with a satisfied look on his face and put the bowl down. Su Yixin couldn't help but look at Zeng Shengji's belly. She wanted to know how bloated her belly would be after eating nearly a pot of rice and four large dishes. .
But what she saw was still a flat belly, which was just a little bigger than before.
If she hadn't had good eyesight, she wouldn't have been able to see it.
After dinner, it's time to arrange accommodation. The Gu family has four rooms and a firewood shed. Currently, Gu Mingbo and his wife's room is empty, and only a small amount of firewood is piled in the firewood shed.
Gu Qingjue and Gu Qingxi moved into the room of Gu Mingbo and his wife. The original room was occupied by Zeng Shengji. Although the firewood room was used for storing firewood, it was clean and no different from other rooms.
Just two beds missing.
Fortunately, there was a carpenter in the village, and his home should have it ready. Gu Qingjue took Li Zhengzhen and Zeng Shengji to the carpenter's house and returned with two beds.
Su Yixin and An Lan have also cleaned out the woodshed.
Su Yixin stood at the door and said to An Lan: "Just tell me what you need. I don't like being polite."
Anlan nodded with red eyes.
On the second day, after Su Yixin finished practicing, she smelled a strong fragrance.
When I opened the door, I realized that Fang's mother had rushed over from home early in the morning. She had mixed the noodles and cooked two large pots of vegetarian noodles. The toppings were so fragrant that the smell of them made people want to eat.
But what is embarrassing is that Zeng Shengji ate a big pot alone, so that Li Zhengzhen was not full.
My brother paid for his food, so how could he be treated badly?
Su Yixin cooked two dishes herself, and Fang's mother cooked another half of the pot of noodles before she was done.
After breakfast, Su Yixin and An Lan were going to Zhuangzi. Since neither of them knew how to drive a carriage, Li Zhengzhen went with them.
Su Yixin exchanged a few words with Gu Qingjue and then set off in a carriage.
They set out at three quarters past three o'clock and arrived at Hujiacun at about five quarters past. They walked west for a quarter of an hour and arrived at Zhuangzi.
Su Yixin did not notify Zhuangzi in advance, so no one received her.
As a man, Li Zhengzhen took on the heavy responsibility of knocking on the door.
After knocking for a long time, Li Zhengzhen used his spiritual power to amplify the sound before someone came to open the door.
The visitor was a middle-aged man of about forty, with sleepy eyes. He only saw Li Zhengzhen and did not pay attention to Su Yixin. When he saw a Taoist priest of his own age, he immediately woke up: "It turns out to be the Taoist priest! Please come in quickly. ."
Li Zhengzhen went in first. Su Yixin and An Lan climbed up the steps and were about to go in when the door was slammed shut.
Li Zhengzhen wanted to laugh, so he forced himself to hold it in.
Therefore, the expression on his face was very strange, and the middle-aged man felt very embarrassed when he saw it.
"Taoist priest?"
Li Zhengzhen coughed, suppressed his smile, and said solemnly: "Open the door, there are two people outside."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned around and opened the door. He saw two people outside the door. He was about to knock on the door and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The Taoist Master is really amazing. You said there are two people outside the door, so there are really two people. I I have never seen such a miracle!”
Su Yixin rolled her eyes to the sky and said: "He and I came here together. This is the land deed of Zhuangzi. I have bought it. You go and inform the head of Zhuangzi and ask him to bring everyone in Zhuangzi to see me."
The man was stunned and did not move until An Lan reminded him: "Why, do you still want the master to invite me in person?"
"Oh, it turns out to be the boss. I'm going to call the head of the village."
Su Yixin and the other two went directly into the lobby and waited in the lobby for half an hour before they saw a man in his forties who was dressed very shabbily coming over.
The man who reported the news just now followed behind this person, bending slightly and being flattering. It seemed that he was not looking at Su Yixin, but at this Zhuangtou.
"Are you Pan Yonggui?"
"It's me, you're the new owner? I didn't expect you to be so young."
Pan Yonggui's eyes shrewdly glanced at Su Yixin, and before Su Yixin could speak, he said again: "Master, you don't know, last year's harvest was really bad, and this village can hardly survive."
Su Yixin looked at Pan Yonggui with a half-smile.
This person has prominent cheekbones, thin eyes and thin lips, and can switch facial expressions freely. He is typically scheming, ruthless, and only interested in profit.
With such a person as the head of the farm, those tenants don't know how they will be bullied. Besides, the whole Jiangning Prefecture had good weather last year, especially Yuyuan Town, which had a good harvest.
When it came to Pan Yonggui's mouth, it was extremely bad.
This makes it clear that she doesn't understand anything when she is young and bullies her.
Su Yixin walked directly past Pan Yonggui and asked the man who opened the door for them: "What is your name? How long have you been coming to Zhuangzi? What do you do?"
"Young Zhou Daniu is the master of Zhuangzi. He has been here for eight years."
"Since you are the head of the stove, why were you the one who opened the door just now? Where were the other people? And if you weren't asked to call everyone in the village just now, why are you not willing to come?"
"this……"
Zhou Daniu glanced at Pan Yonggui, and Pan Yonggui looked at Zhou Daniu threateningly.
"It seems that my boss is not good at talking. Mr. Pan Zhuang, please go and call them all."
"Master, you don't know, this is the busy time for farming, so I don't have time to listen to your lectures, otherwise I'd better wait until night!"
Su Yixin almost laughed angrily. It seemed that this Zhuangzi had been regarded as his own private property by Pan Yonggui. Everyone listened to the leader of the Zhuangzi, not the owner.
Su Yixin raised her eyebrows: "Okay, then at night."
Su Yixin was easy to talk to, so Pan Yonggui was a little more patient, arranged his accommodation, and said a lot of nice things. Su Yixin just smiled and didn't say much.
This made Pan Yonggui even more relieved.
Su Yixin turned to Li Zhengzhen and gave a few instructions. With Li Zhengzhen's strength, he could get things done quickly. She and An Lan rested peacefully, had lunch, and took a nap.
Not long after, Li Zhengzhen came back and took out two large frames from the storage bag. The frames were full of copper coins, half a string of coins, all strung with thin red strings.
"Sister, what do you want these copper coins for?"
"Brother, you will know tonight!"
