The mountains at the end of the village are very wide, and the places along the mountains and forests, but all the boundaries that belong to Yangliu Village can be sold as mountain land.

However, because there are many rocks in the mountains, many tree roots and wild grasses, no one is willing to open up the wasteland when the imperial court launches a five-year tax exemption policy.

Like Liu Ya, there are even fewer land deeds that have not yet been opened up, or 200 acres of land that can be bought as soon as they are purchased.

"Second sister, did I hear it wrong just now? How many acres of mountainous land do they say they want to measure for our family? ”

Liu Ye waited for the officials to start working, and then he came to his senses, and the hand holding Liu Ya was trembling.

"Two hundred acres, although it is mountainous, but the eldest sister believes that I am not an impulsive person, and I must not earn less than the good land." Liu Ya said with a smile.

Liu Ye only felt dizzy, she really heard it right, the second sister actually bought her 200 acres of mountain land in one go, that is...... Two hundred taels of silver!

"Ya'er, where did we get so much silver? If you can't get the money out for a while, the officials must not be angry, and when the time comes...... Just say it's my idea, don't admit anything. ”

Liu Ye bit her lip, and although she was scared, she still blocked Liu Ya behind her.

Liu Ya chuckled, sure enough, people's hearts are biased, Liu Ye's words did not make Liu Ya feel that she did not trust her, but felt a strong sense of care.

Moreover, the meaning of the two things is different, Liu Ye believes that Liu Ya will not do bad things, which is the biggest affirmation of her.

"This place has to measure a little day's work, let's go to the village chief's grandfather's house first to prepare lunch, don't make trouble for the village chief's grandfather."

Holding Liu Ye's hand, Liu Ya said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, don't worry, the silver has been paid, it is the salary I withdrew in advance from the restaurant, and then I have to pay it back slowly, so the eldest sister has to pay more snacks on this land, otherwise I will die of sorrow." ”

Liu Ye nodded stunnedly before he understood what Liu Ya said, and immediately his body stiffened again, and he didn't know what to say.

Although Liu Ya will be tired for a few years doing this, it is better than going to prison, Liu Ye thought to herself that she would rest less and pay off the debt as much as possible.

Before the sisters went to the village chief's house, they bought some stupid chickens in the village.

The sisters also went home to get a jar of wine that they had bought from the town, as well as some seasonings from home, as well as spicy fish and pickled game, salted meat, and wild eggs.

The village chief's daughter-in-law knew Liu Ya's intention, so naturally there was no reason not to agree.

Even if Liu Ya doesn't provide food, their family can't let the servants go hungry, right?

"You girl cooks well, we will give you a hand, you can do whatever you say."

After the village chief's daughter-in-law finished speaking, let a few daughters-in-law go to the garden to pick vegetables, these things are available at home, there is no need to let willow sprouts spend money to buy them, that would be too unkind.

"I asked Aunt Xiao to steam the rice, and Grandma Tang will help me stew the chicken in a while, so I will follow the practice in the countryside, and I am willing to put some oil and add the ingredients I prepared."

"The cold dishes were handed over to my eldest sister to make, and she made them delicious. is to make six dishes and one soup, and you have to trouble Grandma Tang, you will be tired. ”

Liu Ya cleaned the marinated rabbit meat, and she couldn't guarantee that she would always have the opportunity to go into the mountains alone to get game, so she pickled two of them for a rainy day, which she just used today.

The village chief's daughter-in-law didn't expect Liu Ya to prepare so much, so she didn't worry about it anymore, and she was not idle when she could take a hand, and by the way, she learned the craft of Liu Ya's cooking.

It's just that after looking at the oil and condiments used by the willow buds, the village chief's daughter-in-law couldn't stand it in distress, so she simply went back to the house to coax her grandson and asked a few daughters-in-law to help with the handle.

Spicy rabbit meat, roasted potatoes with salted meat, scrambled wild eggs with shallots, cold vegetables, plus chicken stewed vermicelli and spicy fish, and finally a clear soup with cucumber and eggs, it is definitely a hard dish to accompany the wine.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in a restaurant, not everyone is willing to order such food.

"You girl is really honest enough, so many meals, how much money does it cost."

The woman couldn't serve the table, and the village chief's daughter-in-law came to the kitchen after helping to serve the food, and she was distressed.

The main thing is that Liu Ya prepared enough meals, even their family and Widow Xiao brought it.

Not to mention anything else, more than 20 people eat two pots of white rice, and rural people may not be able to eat so much rice in a year.

"Grandma Cousin's lesson is that I will pay attention to it in the future. I just think that if such a good dish is not accompanied by white rice, we will be blind, who will let us not drink alcohol. ”

Liu Ya said with a smile and sandwiched fast rabbit meat for the village chief's daughter-in-law.

"The mouth of cannibalism is short, and these officials have a little looseness in their hands, and they will ensure that you will not suffer. You girl knows what to do, and you're still pretending to be here at your grandmother's house? ”

It's one thing for the village chief's daughter-in-law to feel distressed, but her own man is the village chief, and she knows a lot about some things.

Liu Ya smiled playfully, but did not reply.

After listening to this, Liu Ye understood why Liu Ya was so generous, and felt that she was not as good as her sister in everything, and she had to learn more to share some of it for her second sister.

The officials who ate a meal of wine and food all wanted to live here forever, especially the spicy fish that they had been hungry for a long time, and now they know that it is made by willow buds.

At this time, the village chief Liu also understood why Liu Ya often went out and sold everything to the county seat, which was the first in the village.

When I was measuring in the afternoon, I didn't know if the officials had drunk too much, or if they had deliberately miscounted, and they had more than a dozen acres of mountainous land set out, even if they ate and drank a few more meals.

Village Chief Liu secretly said a word to Liu Ya, and Liu Ya immediately understood, and when the officials left, he gave a small bucket of spicy fish, not to mention more than twenty, and gave a red envelope.

"It's a pity that this girl was born in a farmer's family, if she is in a big family, maybe she will be rich!" Servant A sighed on the road.

"What happened to being born in a farmhouse? Look at it, in a few years, maybe you will be more productive than those of us, and you will be rich and wealthy by then. ”

Ya Gong B is optimistic about Liu Ya, or he is just drinking too much and raising the bar.

Liu Ya didn't know the conversation between the officials after they left the village, and the family was sitting together looking at the title deed stamped by the government, and they were all in disbelief.

How long has it been since they went from the poor days of eating wild vegetables to the landlord?

"Quickly put away the title deed, no matter how much you look at it, you can't get a few more acres, don't you rest early after a tired day?"

Liu Ya yawned, although she understood the mentality of Liu Wang's mother and daughter, but she was already happy, and she really didn't have the energy to spend it anymore.

"Ya'er, you will hide the silver, and you will keep this, I will save it again."

Liu Ye hurriedly pushed the title deed to Liu Ya, but he paid attention to the strength of his hands, afraid that it would be broken.

"As long as the eldest sister doesn't go to the government to transfer the land to others, even if the land deed is lost, it can be replaced, but it costs a little money."

Liu Ya didn't refuse, she took it so that everyone could feel at ease.

Liu Ya and Liu Miao slept well as usual tonight, but Liu Wang and Liu Ye were destined to not be able to sleep, and the mother and daughter couldn't help but chat in the second half of the night.

Not to mention the third room, the old mansion is about to explode, and no one dares to go out all day, for fear of being laughed at and they drive away a golden bump.

"The things of this group of losers in the third room, two hundred taels of silver! They went to buy mountain land, and the mourning star of the Wang family didn't know that he came to honor the two of us! ”

Mrs. Liu sat on the kang and scolded, but Old Man Liu snorted a little louder than usual as if he hadn't been noisy.

"No, I can't let them hold this land, I have to find a way to sell it when I get it, even if I sell it halfway, a hundred taels of silver is enough for me to chew and use in the coffin."
