Chapter 24: Buying Land
Here, An Ruyi laughed dryly twice and hurriedly diverted the conversation, no matter what Sister-in-law Zhang said, she didn't answer the stubble. Just kidding, my own daughter hasn't hurt enough, how can I let her out so early and give her to someone else's family.
The two hid in the house and chatted, while cutting and sewing clothes, and when they were tired, they drank some tea and ate a few snacks. It's also pleasant.
During this period, Zhang's sister-in-law couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked about Huairan's master, and after An Ruyi came back last night, she thought about it left and right again, and felt that she was still a little underconsidered, and the things that were not suitable for publicity were everywhere.
So at this time, she concealed the matter of cultivating the truth, and took out the statement that the snake was rescued on the mountain, and only said that the ginseng Huairan master they dug up did not ask for it, and gave some rare medicinal materials on the mountain, she asked her brother-in-law to sell it, thinking that she had settled down in Liujia Village, so she simply bought some land, and then built a bigger house, and in the future, Huairan's master would have a place to settle down the mountain. That's why there are these things like buying people and buying ox carts and building houses.
In the end, An Ruyi also faintly revealed that Liu Huairan's master has great skills and eccentric temperament, which is very comparable. It can also be regarded as a foreshadowing for the future.
Sure enough, when An Ruyi set up a formation outside the house, the people in the village couldn't even easily see the house in front of them. The sound of everything in the village stopped because of the horror.
Gradually, the people in the village believed that Liu Huairan's master was not ordinary.
Even after An Ruyi's help allowed them to avoid several disasters, the rumors became more and more popular, and many people even set up immortal tablets for Huairan's "master".
Later, when the status of the Liu family was transcendent, the people of Liujia Village should also follow the chicken dog to heaven, and outsiders did not dare to easily offend the people in Liujia Village. The Liu family has become the pride of the people of Liujia Village, a mythical existence. Those who have worked hard for the Liu family have even regarded the past as bragging capital.
Busy times always pass quickly.
Liu Yue had already finished breakfast and played with Chen Lotus and Chen Goudan, after all, children still like to play with children. The main thing is that the lotus and the dog are very happy to coax her, everything is based on her, let everywhere, Liu Yue is naturally more happy when she has fun, and she directly likes the new and hates the old and leaves An Ruyi and Liu Huairan behind.
As for Liu Huairan, he had already hidden in the Ruyi House and started cultivating.
So when the time was close to noon unconsciously, and several men outside had already dragged the felled wood back, and when they were busy for a while, Liu Yue felt hungry again and entangled in the room, An Ruyi and Sister-in-law Zhang were shocked to realize that time passed so quickly.
With An Ruyi's previous instructions, lunch is steamed fragrant white rice. Because the Zhang family herself sells pork, she doesn't eat less on weekdays, so she asks the Chen family to make fish, rabbit and chicken.
The Chen family then carefully made a large amount of four dishes and one soup, drunken chicken, dried fried rabbit, sweet and sour carp, stewed eggs in broth, and dried scallop soup with winter melon.
It just so happened that Zhang Kang also came back from school, and An Ruyi took the opportunity to go out to find a secluded place to bring Liu Huairan, who had been practicing for several weeks, out of Ruyi Juli.
During the meal, An Ruyi asked Liu Huairan to entertain the Zhang family father and son to eat in the hall. He followed Liu Yue to accompany Sister-in-law Zhang to eat in the room. In the kitchen, several members of the Chen family gathered together to eat at another table.
The dishes are all the same, the difference is that the Chen family feels that their identity is a servant after all, although the lady said that they should eat the same meal, but she still has less meat in the dishes for several people. It's not as much as the other two.
In this way, several members of the Chen family were already very grateful to An Ruyi, and felt that it was really luck that they could meet such a generous master.
The actions of the Chen family and the reactions of several people have been observed by a trace of divine thoughts released by An Ruyi. From the beginning when they didn't show dissatisfaction with such a humble environment, to the fact that everyone was quite reliable and knew their duty in the back, An Ruyi was still quite satisfied, if the people of the Chen family could continue to maintain this state after a while, An Ruyi was ready to take them for his own use.
The day's work passed quickly, the cowshed was successfully completed, and the cattle could be brought back.
Dinner was still hearty, and the main dish was a fist-sized meat bun, accompanied by a large bowl of braised pork and a large pot of sauerkraut and fish soup.
After dinner, Sister-in-law Zhang's family said goodbye and went back, and An Ruyi made an appointment with Sister-in-law Zhang to come back the next day to help make clothes. And everybody dispersed.
Settle the two children to sleep. An Ruyi entered Ruyiju and began to think about what kind of house to build and how big it should be, while slowly drawing her ideas into drawings. Although she can't draw architectural drawings, she has studied fine brush painting, she has seen a lot of various garden buildings, and she is also familiar with the current high mansions, so it is particularly easy to draw.
She couldn't wait to contact Jiang Zijie immediately to find someone to build the new house.
The next day, Sister-in-law Zhang came over after breakfast, and the two hid in the house as usual to chat and tailor, and it was almost noon, Sister-in-law Zhang insisted on going home to cook by herself, regardless of An Ruyi's efforts to keep her. An Ruyi had no choice but to follow her. It's just that she often asks the Chen family to get some new dishes she instructs, and she never forgets to send a plate to the next door in the name of trying it out. Sister-in-law Zhang will always return some home-grown seasonal vegetables or pork bones, pig trotters and the like.
After being busy for two or three days in a row, Sister-in-law Zhang came to help and felt that time passed quickly, and An Ruyi, Liu Huairan and Liu Yue finally had two or three sets of clothes without patches each.
In the town, Jiang Zijie quit his original job in the shop, although the big shopkeeper secretly said that it was a pity, and he kept it once, but he did not deliberately make it difficult, fortunately, Jiang Zijie was promoted not long ago, and he was still in the transition with the help of the master.
Afterwards, Jiang Zijie specially took Liu Rong to Liujia Village, and the three of them discussed the external rhetoric and unanimously said what An Ruyi said to Sister-in-law Zhang.
Later, An Ruyi, accompanied by Jiang Zijie and his wife, found the patriarch of the village, and was also the chief of the village to ask for land.
After looking at the land, selecting the land, measuring, making a book, and taking it to the county government for the record, An Ruyi finally bought more than 20 acres of barren land near his home after several twists and turns, and the title deed was also done.
After buying the land, Jiang Zijie brought her a well-known master of garden construction and a group of more than 20 experienced craftsmen specially invited from Fucheng.
For the sake of the high price, the master surnamed Zhou, who barely came to such a remote mountain col, is an old master in his fifties, and is a showman, but unfortunately he has not been able to continue to pass the exam for many years, and he can only make a living by helping people design gardens in desperation.
He has helped people design and build many houses and gardens. It was well received. People are also quite talented, but they are proud of their talents. Others call him Zhou Lao.
Zhou Lao came to see An Ruyi with a look of arrogance, but after seeing An Ruyi's own garden drawing, he was surprised and admired, and immediately restrained his arrogance. At the same time, after listening carefully to An Ruyi's various requests, Zhou Lao quickly sent a drawing of the current standard house.
She is satisfied with Zhou Lao's knowledge of the current affairs and An Ruyi, and for those who are proud of their talents, as long as they have real skills, An Ruyi has always had a good impression, not to mention this kind of person who can bend and stretch, and she appreciates the current affairs even more.
An Ruyi's most disgusting thing is actually the kind of person who only boasts, looks like he is the best in the world, and he is arrogant and arrogant, who doesn't put others in his eyes at all, finds fault everywhere but has no corresponding ability.
