Chapter 21: Befriending

200 taels?!

A deer is worth 200 taels!

The village chief looked at the transaction in front of him, and the whole person was already in a sluggish state.

It's no wonder that when Brother Jiang hadn't joined the army before, those of the Yi family, especially Brother Min, ate for nothing and were fat, and there were books to read!

It's no wonder that Yi Yaozu had the courage to go up the mountain before, if he hit a deer, it would be enough to buy a lot of paddy fields.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, when he came out of Baolin Hall, Yi Jiang had two hundred taels of silver on his body, and he exchanged one hundred taels of them for broken silver, a heavy bag.

Yi Jiang had never hunted deer before, but even if he knew the value of deer this time, he didn't plan to go up the mountain to hunt more deer in the future.

After all, this deer alone was also hunted by him for a long time.

Deer and wolves live in groups, and it's still very tiring to come in a big wave or something all at once.

Besides, he had already planned it before, hunting was too dangerous, and he still had Yao'er to raise.

"Uncle Village Chief, let's go to the Yamen next!" Yi Jiang took Gu Yao and said to the village chief.

The village chief nodded his head a little stunned and said, "Then let's go." ”

When I came to the yamen and explained my intentions, two catchers came out with tools.

"Village Chief Yi, let's go, let's go to the village to measure now."

Because of the provisions of the national law, every household needs a certificate issued by the yamen and a land deed to build a house.

Just like the previous Yijiang and Ren buying and selling shops, they all need to go to the yamen for filing and deed.

Yi Jiang vaguely gave the two catchers five taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Two big brothers, it's really troublesome for you." ”

The older catcher glanced at Yi Jiang, and secretly reversed the weight of the silver in his hand, and the smile on his face instantly became bigger and more sincere.

"Well said, well said." It was the first time he had met a farmer who was so up-to-earth.

A group of five people, Yi Jiang rented an ox cart and drove all the way to the land that Gu Yao had selected before.

There is a household in the vicinity, the other party's house is not small, but it is all dilapidated, if it is left in peacetime, it will be a whole dilapidated house.

Gu Yao looked at the large open space, gently pulled Layi Jiang's clothes and said, "Daddy, how big a piece of land do we want!" ”

"How big does Yao'er want to be?" Yi Jiang asked.

Gu Yao lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "If you want to be big, you must have several rooms, and each room must have a small room, a place to raise chickens and ducks, and a kitchen." ”

Yi Jiang looked at Gu Yao counting with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Then I want a big piece of land." ”

"Yes, big land." Gu Yao said with a smile.

"Two big brothers...... Yi Jiang stepped forward and began to negotiate with the two of them, as for Gu Yao, her eyes were attracted by the person who came out of the dilapidated house.

Yi Ranchen was carrying a large wooden basin in which he and his grandfather's change of clothes were placed, and he wanted to take them to the river to wash.

But.

That's the village chief, and the catch, this is in, measuring the land?

Oh, just measure it, it's not related to him anyway.

"Sister Yao, what's wrong?" When the village chief saw Gu Yao standing over there, he asked, his eyes were still looking in the direction that the other party was looking at, and the back was Brother Chen.

"Grandpa, who is that?" Gu Yao asked.

The village chief glanced at the house not far away, and said to Gu Yao: "That's Brother Chen, it's the people in the house over there, and you will be neighbors in the future." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Gu Yao nodded, and then stopped talking, his eyes were always on Yi Jiang.

O neighbors!

It seems that in the future, I will have to inquire about whether this neighbor is getting along well, and look at their house, it should be because of lack of money.

If they get along, what can I do to help them?

After measuring the land, the five of them rushed back to the yamen and completed the formalities together, because Yi Jiang was the head of the household, so this land fell under Yi Jiang's name.

"It's not too early, two big brothers, let's have a meal together." Because I don't know if I will deal with people from the yamen in the future, but there are only benefits and no disadvantages in making friends with the people of the yamen.

The two of them were not polite, obviously seeing what Yi Jiang meant, so the elder said, "Then there is Brother Lao Jiang." ”

"You're welcome, everyone is a brother, it's rusty to say this, let's take a walk, I was already looking at the place when I came over just now."

Gu Yao quietly followed everyone to a restaurant.

The decoration of the restaurant is average, but it is better than lively.

Yi Jiang asked for a private room, ordered a table of dishes, and ordered two pots of wine.

"Come, two big brothers, you're welcome, I heard that their restaurant is most famous for this roast duck, if the two big brothers think it's delicious, take one back later, let the people in the family taste it."

"Well said, well said."

Gu Yao took a bite of the dish, and then set his eyes on the pot of wine.

The older catcher, that is, Qu catches fast, saw Gu Yao's gaze, as if he saw his own daughter, and said with a loving face: "What? Does the little girl want to taste what this wine tastes like? ”

"Is that okay?" Gu Yao's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hahaha." Qu Zhukuai smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, how is it?" Do you want this little girl to taste it? "It's not my own daughter, let's ask what my father means.

Yi Jiang didn't want Gu Yao to drink it, but when he saw the other party's sparkling eyes, his heart suddenly softened, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Then let her taste it." ”

Gu Yao took his father's wine glass with a smile, took a small sip, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.

It's light, it tastes so light, it's not as strong as the wine she drank at that time.

"How? Is it delicious? Qu Yu said with a quick smile.

Gu Yao returned the wine glass to Yi Jiang, and then said to Qu Zhukuai: "It's not delicious, it's not delicious." That little appearance caused everyone to laugh.

They ate and drank for an hour, and then dispersed.

Village Chief Yi saw that Yi Jiang and Gu Yao still had something to do, so he also found an excuse to go back to the village after Qu Yu and they left.

As for Yi Jiang, he said that he would take Gu Yao to see the shop, so after the end, Yi Jiang directly took Gu Yao to the shop with a yard.

"Daddy, this is the shop you bought?" Gu Yao stood on the side of the street, looked at the closed shop in front of him, and asked.

This seat is not the best, but it is not bad.

This person comes and goes, and she believes that as long as the things in this shop are good, business will definitely be good.

Thinking of the wine she had drunk before, she had an idea in her mind.

But how to achieve it, then take your time.

"Well, let's go in and have a look." Yi Jiang opened the door, and the two walked in.

Inside, Gu Yao felt that this place was good, looked around, found a well, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Yi Jiang: "Daddy, what business did you originally plan to use here for?" ”

"Well, I haven't thought of it yet, but Daddy doesn't seem to know anything but hunting." Although he has the heart to do business or something, he is really not proficient in how to operate it!

"Daddy, we can take our time in business or something." Gu Yao was afraid that Yi Jiang would be sad in his heart, so he hurriedly comforted him.

Yi Jiang found a bench and sat down with Gu Yao, and said slowly, "Then Yao'er has any good suggestions?" ”

Gu Yao thought for a while, and then said, "Daddy, why don't we take a look at what shops are on the street now, and then think about it." ”

"Okay."

Gu Yao walked on the street, looking here, looking there.

Well, there seem to be a lot of grocery stores, restaurants are not bad, and there are a lot of other snacks.

But I don't seem to have seen chestnuts along the way!

Gu Yao's eyes rolled, and he said to Yi Jiang with a smile: "Daddy, I know what we sell." ”

"Oh, what to sell?" Yi Jiang said with a smile on his face.

Gu Yao smiled mysteriously and said, "Daddy, do you remember the chestnuts I picked last time on the mountain?" ”

"Chestnut?" Yi Jiang looked puzzled.

Oh, speaking of chestnuts, Yi Jiang didn't pick the chestnuts back because he forgot the time yesterday, so he didn't know what chestnuts tasted like yet.

"Yes, it's chestnuts, the village chief and grandfather said they were delicious after eating them." Speaking of chestnuts, Gu Yao began to get excited, "Daddy, let's go up the mountain." ”

"Let's pick some more, and then make them for you to taste, how about it?"

Yi Jiang looked at Gu Yao who was excited, and shook her head helplessly, she could see that this girl would only come when she talked about eating.

"Okay, it's all according to what Yao'er said, but what, since we have all come out today, let's buy some things and go back, I remember that there doesn't seem to be much white rice at home, buy some more and go back."

Yi Jiang knew that Gu Yao liked to eat white rice.

"Well, buy some white rice, and buy some salt, ah, Daddy, there's chili sauce over there, let's go buy some."

"This is not bad, Daddy, I want to eat this, this one looks delicious!"

"Hey, what is this, ah, turtle, daddy, let's buy a turtle, and dig a pond in the new house when the time comes, raise fish, and look like a turtle."

......

At noon, the news of the village chief taking Yi Jiang's father and daughter and catching fast suddenly spread throughout the village.

"Is this Brother Jiang planning to build a house?"

"It should be, the people of this yamen have come to measure the land, besides, Sister Yao is also older, and it is not suitable for two people to live in one room!"

"Also, Sister Yao is 8 years old, who said that she and Brother Jiang are father and daughter, but in the end they are not related by blood, and it is not good to live in the same room after all."

"No, where did Brother Jiang get the money!"

"I saw Brother Jiang going to the county seat in Daddy Liu's car in the morning, and there was a deer in the car."

"I saw it too, but didn't Brother Jiang say that it was sold to his eldest brother for leg treatment?"

"Who knows, you don't want to think about what Brother Jiang'er lived in the Yi family in those years."

"But Yi Yaozu is Brother Jiang's eldest brother after all, not yet."
