Mr. Bisheng and Dai were chatting happily, but when they saw that the table was full of rare mountain delicacies, and they were full of color, flavor and flavor, they couldn't help but praise: "These dishes look very good, do you make them?" Lan Ping. ”

"Yes, Uncle Zhu. There is no good wine and good food at home to entertain the distinguished guests, if there is no good hospitality, please also invite Shi Bo Haihan. Lan Ping wiped his hands on the apron a few times.

"Where, where, you are too polite. These dishes are very difficult to eat in our Zhu family. The old man Bisheng picked up chopsticks and sent a bee chrysalis to his mouth, chewed a few times, "Fresh, tender, crispy, fragrant, just right, and a little spicy, it is the top grade in the mountains." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Lan Ping thanked Bi Sheng and asked his mother, "Mother, is there still wine at home?" ”

"Yes. There is also a jar of rice wine brewed during last year's Dragon Boat Festival in the cellar, you can go and move it out. Dai replied.

"Okay, I'll fetch it now." Lan Ping hurried to the kitchen, and soon carried a wine jar to the table, lined up several large bowls, and filled the bowls with wine.

"Brother and sister, we don't drink, we have to hurry back later." Bisheng waved his hand.

"Where? Although this is not a feast, there is no banquet without wine, this wine still needs to be drunk, or we will have to eat this table for several days, and it will be early in the morning. Dai smiled.

"It's better to be respectful." Old man Bisheng thanked Dai, and then said to the head of the room, "Son, go and call the housekeeper and them in, and start the meal." ”

"Oh." Kai Room trotted out......

According to the convention, the sedan chair man is not allowed to sit down, but the old man Bisheng does not have this concept of hierarchy, and treats his subordinates equally, so the servants of the Zhu family compound are loyal to them one by one and dutiful. Several times, the menacing bandits tried to enter Zhu's house to rob the house, but they were repelled one by one and returned empty-handed. People are like this, if you respect others, others will respect you.

Before long, everyone sat around the round table and started eating, talking and drinking. After three rounds of drinking, the old man Bisheng was a little drunk, and he drank a small half bowl of snake broth: "Brother and sister, it's not been a day or two for the two of us to deal with each other, and the elder brother has something to ask for, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”

"Big brother, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is within the scope of our Gong family's ability, I will definitely promise you." Dai stopped the chopsticks and shot glass in his hand.

"Brother and sister, let's not talk about it, Brother Mincheng is not at home?"

"Don't worry, when Wen Jing and his father are not at home, I have the final say on everything. Big brother, is there something unspeakable? ”

Seeing that the palanquin man and the housekeeper had eaten almost, the old man Bisheng paused for a while before saying, "Qibao, you guys go and wait outside the courtyard, and I have something important to discuss with the hostess for a while." ”

"Yes, host." Qibao answered, and then said to a few palanquins, "You have eaten, go out with me." ”

"Okay." The palanquin man put down the dishes and chopsticks in understanding, and hurriedly walked out of the hall with the housekeeper.

After Qibao and a few people went out, the old man Bisheng took a sip of wine: "Brother and sister, our Tangweichong has been a village that relies on Tianshui to farm since ancient times, and when it comes to drought years, the rice harvest in the field is large and large, I want to buy the mountain forest of your family in Tiekeng......"

"Brother, that mountain forest is full of miscellaneous trees and thatch, and it's not worth a few dollars. Wouldn't it be a big loss if you want to buy it, so let's break this thought. Dai said.

"Brother and sister, if you are reluctant to sell the mountain forest in Tuohajing, I can pay three times more than others, how about it?" Old Man Bisheng was silent for a long time, and stretched out five fingers.

"Don't buy five times more!" Dai said with a smile. She thought about it again, no, Zhu Yuanwai wanted the water source of the Toha Well, not for his own selfishness, why didn't I think of it!

It's not too much for people to ask for a well, and besides, it is for the whole village that Zhu Yuanwai said that he wanted to buy it, and it was not for nothing. It's just that if you sell that piece of mountains and forests, you can't pay off the debt, so it's better to give it to them generously. The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, but the evil of an adult.

Although I am a woman, I still understand this truth. The water conservancy fee that can be collected every year is only more than 100 taels of silver, and it is more than 10,000 taels in a hundred years. Or look at the next step of the wisher's attitude and then decide whether to send it or not.

"Ten times!" Old Man Bisheng stretched out five more fingers.

"Not for sale!"

"Fifteen times!"

"Twenty times, brother and sister, it really can't be more."

"Still don't sell it, old brother."

"Brother and sister, how much silver do you say you need to sell?"

"I'll have to wait for my old man to come back before I can decide."

"Brother and sister, why don't you do this, let's write a contract, we will buy the right to use the Python Well for a hundred years, and the ownership will continue to be your Gong family, is it feasible?"

"I'll have to think about this......" Dai was a little moved.

As a result, there was silence in the hall. Qi Mu thought to himself, your Gong family owes us so much silver, won't you take the opportunity to open your mouth?

"A hundred years is too little, it will take five hundred years." Dai said suddenly.

"Brother and sister, aren't you kidding? Since the First Emperor, which dynasty has had a 500-year qi number? Five hundred years later, the Qinghe Kingdom may have long been wiped out, and who knows what the situation will be? "Old man Bisheng doesn't know what medicine is sold in Dai's gourd at all.

"Big brother, look at how nervous you are. Don't you understand what I mean? Dai smiled.

"I don't understand." Old Man Bisheng shook his head.

"The mountains and forests are not sold, only the toad Hajing is sent, and I don't want a penny. As a dowry for Lan Ping. ”

"Dowry? Brother and sister, what do you mean? ”

"Big brother...... I wanted to marry Lan Ping Xu to my nephew, but the girl refused to live or die, crying and crying, and ignored me for a long time. Later I asked her why she didn't want to. She told the truth, it is okay to marry Tangwei Chong, but there are two conditions, first, she wants to marry the descendant of this year's Spring Festival dance leader; Second, I don't want any dowry, as long as I ...... it."

"Mother, what did you say? I'm only 16 years old, and I don't want to leave my parents so early. Lan Ping replied shyly.

"Girl, am I wrong?" Dai smiled, "It's just that I don't know who the offspring of that dancing dragon head is." ”

"Far away, close at hand." Old man Bisheng glanced at the opening room that only cared about grilling rice.

"How could the young owner mix with those mud legs who farm for the Spring Festival? Impossible! Lan Ping kept waving his hand, saying that he didn't believe that the Qi Room sitting next to him was the offspring of the dancing dragon.
