Five days later.
Early morning hours.
Everyone is in good order and waiting to eat.
All the big trees near the stockade were cut down.
On the lower three floors, only the final finishing work remains.
Mr. Hu planted grapes in Zhengyang Mountain, built two pig pens, and raised ten fat pigs.
Wen Hua found a puppy of unknown breed and tied it to the door of Hui'er's house.
Xie Fan looked at the puppy's snow-white hair, which was only the size of two palms. "Wen Hua, where did you find this dog?"
"I exchanged a pound of fine noodles for the Feng County guard. How about it?"
Xie Fan nodded. These days, things are rare and valuable. It is rare to find a puppy in such good condition.
When Hui'er heard the puppy's cry, she opened the door and held it in her hands, "Wow, thank you Uncle Wen Hua!"
Wen Hua pushed his hand, "This is all the young master's arrangement!"
Hui'er looked at Xie Fan lovingly and took the puppy back into the house.
"Huier, remember to give it a name!"
"I've gotten up early, just call me Tongtong! I'll call you Tongtong!"
Xie Fan took two steps back, not daring to challenge him again.
He walked towards Zhang Chao, "Commander Zhang, call the soldiers to my room later and settle the money!"
Zhang Chao saluted respectfully and asked in a low voice, "Master, the brothers have said that the Xie family has been spending a lot of money recently, so we are not in a hurry."
"Commander Zhang, don't retreat any more. Since you have made your promise, then you must keep your word! This is my principle!"
Zhang Chao's waist bent even lower, "It all depends on the young master's orders!"
Xie Fan made some calculations. Tomorrow is the day for the banquet for Liao Yong. "Commander Zhang, you are done with your work. Let's pack up and send someone to deliver a message to General Liao Yong. We will set up a few tables in the village tomorrow. By then, Have a few more drinks with the general for me!"
Zhang Chao responded repeatedly and retreated.
Then, Lu Guang, dressed in new clothes, came over and said respectfully, "Good morning, Master!"
"Lu Guang, I can see that you are very skilled in craftsmanship and a talent! If you have any requests, just ask them, you're welcome!" The three-story house Xie Fan requested has already taken some shape, and it's all the credit of this master. .
Lu Guang lowered his head slightly, "Master, to tell you the truth, I like this craft and love doing this work. If I hadn't met you, I might have continued to be like this."
"In this way, after you finish building these three floors, I will take you around. Next, there are many houses to be built. You choose a land you like and build your own house first."
"Thank you, Master!"
After Lu Guang left, Xie Fan stared blankly at the busy people, everything seemed like the next day.
He couldn't rest, he had to think carefully about tomorrow's banquet.
He found Master Wang and Ah Fu and carefully finalized the dishes, drinks, etc.
Master Wang is under great pressure and needs to prepare at least eight dishes. "Master, how about we find some game? These things are not available on weekdays, and it can show your sincerity!"
Xie Fan scratched his head, "But, where should we go to find game?"
"There must be one on the mountain! A few days ago, Nie Yunlong came to me and asked me if I knew how to be a beggar chicken. I guess they must have caught a pheasant!"
"Grandma's! There are good things, but you don't hand them over!" Xie Fan slapped the table and came to the courtyard.
At this moment, there were few people in the yard, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "Nie Yunlong, come see me right away!"
The sound wandered in the mountains. Xie Fan returned to the house and sat down angrily. "If there is such news again, it must be reported immediately!"
Master Wang nodded in agreement. He had seen the young master get angry before.
Ah Fu hid aside and rubbed his eyes, looking listless.
Xie Fan kicked him over, "Afu, you unlucky guy! Why can't you wake up every day since you came to the mountain?"
Ah Fu was trembling, patted the footprints on his clothes, and said aggrievedly, "Master, I can't sleep!"
"Grandma, how many times have I heard this?" Xie Fan teased, touching the other person's head, "The housekeeper is Wen Hua, why do you worry about it every day? I won't need you tomorrow, call Hui'er , that girl looks happier than you!"
"Master, I..."
"Go to the special brew!"
Ah Fu ran all the way and bumped into Nie Yunlong who was about to enter the door, "Ouch!"
Xie Fan said with a dark face, "Stop screaming! Tell me clearly about your secret eating of wild game! Others can forget about it, so why don't you include me?"
When Nie Yunlong heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and squatted next to Xie Fan, "Master, just this once!"
"Did this happen several times?" Xie Fan pursed his lips and ordered, "Bring a few people with you and bring me back some more game before dark! Don't take it for yourself, I will be of great use!"
Nie Yunlong took the order and ran into Hui'er again.
"Reckless man!" Hui'er cursed in a low voice towards the other party's back.
Xie Fan looked at Hui'er. Her body blocked the sunlight, showing a graceful outline.
Suddenly, he changed his mind. If Liao Yong saw this, would he have any evil intentions?
After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Hui'er, you'd better go back and call Ah Fu!"
Master Wang looked on, not daring to take a breath, "Master, how about I go prepare first?"
Xie Fan waved his hand, dazed.
Tomorrow's banquet is very important.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Ah Fu stood outside the door timidly, not daring to come in.
"Ah Fu, go to Feng County and find Dong Zhong for me! No matter what the reason is, he will be kidnapped by me!"
"ah?"
"You can't go alone! Find Commander Zhang and bring two soldiers! There must be no mistake!"
"Yes, Master!" Ah Fu had never seen Xie Fan so nervous before and immediately realized that this was a big deal.
He first went to find some hemp ropes, then took the soldiers and drove down the mountain.
Xie Fan thought for a moment, but still felt it was not safe, "Wen Hua! Wen Hua!"
Wen Hua rushed over and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Master, what's the matter?"
"We will invite Liao Yong to a banquet tomorrow. The tables will be set up in the courtyard. The carriages and boxes will be hidden in the backyard. The people in Qingfeng Village will eat dry food at noon and are not allowed to return to the village. Instruct everyone in the family to put on their old clothes. The more broken the better!”
"Master, it's easy to talk about family matters, but this Nie Yunlong..."
"I'll give him orders. You have the kitchen prepare dry food in advance."
"Master, can I ask a question? What are we doing?"
"Doing business!"
When Wen Hua heard this, he didn't dare to neglect and went down immediately.
Xie Fan closed his eyes to rest, and quietly placed a pair of jade hands on his forehead, "Hui'er, are you here?"
"Master, you just called me here to get through..."
"What does it mean? Is there anything else in your mind?"
"Master, thank you for your hard work! I have never seen you work so hard before!"
"Hui'er, I have to take these more than a hundred people to live a happy life!"
"What are happy days?"
"You'll see it!"
To be honest, Xie Fan enjoyed this kind of rough and tumble, which brought some relaxation and joy to his heart.
However, he hesitated.
What are you hesitating about?
He doesn't know either.
