In order to avoid being discovered by Ji Kun, Mu Jiu asked Xiao Er to bring breakfast up, and after getting the news that Ji Kun and the others had entered the Xiang Pavilion and closed the door, he followed up and entered the Qiuju Pavilion next door to Dongmei Pavilion.

In order to protect the privacy of the guests, the initial design was very well soundproofed, and Mu Jiu could not hear any sound next door.

This is also the reason why Ji Kun chose Jiu'an Restaurant instead of Tianxiang Building.

Mu Jiu had the idea of inquiring about intelligence when he opened the restaurant, and Xiao Erli also had people who specialized in reconnaissance.

The shopkeeper arranged for two juniors to go in, but Ji Kun kicked them out, saying that they didn't need to wait.

Mu Jiu was not worried at all, when he designed the Four Pavilions at the beginning, he deliberately left a few loopholes for eavesdropping, and he couldn't listen openly, so he eavesdropped.

Mu Jiu was full in Qiuju Pavilion and asked the shopkeeper for a pot of tea, tasted it slowly, and sat for an hour before the shopkeeper came in.

"Master, Ji Kun signed a big order, five hundred beds, one thousand Taishi chairs, three thousand chairs and coffee tables, and all kinds of tables in the future."

What a big deal!

This order was delivered, which was enough for the Ji family to eat for several years.

No wonder the Ji family, who had been low-key after the clean-up activity, suddenly came to her.

It's a pity that Ji Kun made a fatal mistake and trusted the sound insulation of Jiu'an Restaurant too much!

"Immortality." Mu Jiu looked at Lin Changsheng.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

The two of them left Jiu'an Restaurant, and originally wanted to go to the spice shop, but Mu Jiu temporarily changed his mind and went to Lijia Village.

Because there is a town further down from Lijia Village, the town is halfway up the mountainside, and all the subordinate villages have forest farms, and most of the timber in Qizhou City comes from there, and the timber transported from the town must pass through Lijia Village.

Mu Jiu went to Jiu'an Food to get some pastries and melon seeds, and then went home to take the day and the wind, and took Zero One and a few members of the Shannai team, and the group went to Lijia Village.

This time in Qizhou, Mu Jiu brought up the sun and the wind.

Xiaocao didn't know how to ride a horse, so Xiaomi rode a horse with Xiaocao, and a group of people soon arrived in Lijia Village.

Mu Jiu only left Xiaocao, Xiaomi, and Zero One, and the others scattered and continued to go to the town inside.

After Mu Ying'er got better, Li Degui was able to start working again to make money, Li Erdou and Li Sandou also made money, and the family's life began to nourish again, and Li Degui built a new house next to the original house.

Mu Jiu didn't come for a long time, and he almost didn't recognize that this was Li Degui's house!

The door of the house was closed, and Mu Jiu asked the neighbors, only to find out that they had gone to the fruit field.

This season, the peaches are about to ripen!

Mu Jiu had been to Li Degui's fruit field, and led the horse to walk over familiarly.

Li Degui and Mu Ying'er were weeding the fruit field, and when they saw Mu Jiu from a distance, they dropped the work in their hands and ran over.

"Uncle, aunt!" Mu Jiu grinned.

"Jiu'er is here!" Mu Ying'er was very happy, "Stay and eat at noon." ”

"Thank you, aunt!" Mu Jiu gave her the pastry, "My aunt is getting younger and younger. Seeing that Mu Ying'er's hands were all covered with mud, Mu Jiu took it back again, "I'll take it." ”

Mu Ying'er was a little shy, "Jiu'er is really good at making people happy." ”

"How can it be, it was originally, you used to be in poor health, and your face was not good, but now your body is better, your complexion is ruddy and shiny, you are really good-looking!"

Mu Ying'er blushed from being praised, lowered her head and didn't know how to answer.

Taking advantage of the gap between Mu Jiu and Mu Ying'er talking, Li Degui emptied the basket filled with weeds, climbed a big peach tree, picked a few particularly large peaches, and handed them to Lin Changsheng along with the basket, "This is the earliest ripe, take it to Jiu'er to quench your thirst." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Lin Changsheng took it generously, handed one to Xiaocao and Xiaomi, and then took the pastry in Mu Jiu's hand and gave her a peach.

"I'll wash it before I eat it." Mu Jiu put the peaches back in the basket and was about to take Mu Ying'er's hand.

"My aunt's hands are dirty." Mu Ying'er was a little embarrassed, "It's going to stain your clothes, you're pink, you can't wash them off if they're dirty." ”

Mu Jiu didn't insist, the clothes were very difficult to wash, so don't make trouble for your subordinates.

Li Degui picked up the hoe, "Let's go, go pick some food and go back!" ”

"Will it delay your work?" Mu Jiudao.

"No, no, it's hot, the sun is poisonous, I was going to go back." Li Degui smiled, "I caught two big fish yesterday, and I will stew fish soup later." ”

"And the fish here?" Mu Jiu knew it for the first time.

"There is a big river next to Lijia Village, there are many fish, in the past, Lord Yan was here, and he collected a very heavy fishing tax, and no one dared to fight, but now Lord Zhang is the prefect, and he does not need to pay taxes to fish from the second to the sixth day of the first month of every month, and yesterday your uncle and other villagers went to fight in a day and got two big ones."

For the first time, Mu Jiu knew that fishing also required fishing tax, which ......

However, they did not misunderstand Zhang Jinwei, who was exempted from this harsh tax, but also knew that they could not overfish.

It's not in vain that they pull him along.

A group of people walked to the end of the fruit field, where some cowpeas and water spinach were planted, and Li Degui picked a little of each.

It took a while to walk from the fruit field to Li Degui's house, Mu Jiu saw many people using ox carts to pull fresh wood out, and the cut of the wood was still dripping with water, as if it had just been cut for less than an hour, she asked curiously, "Do you have a forest farm in your village?" ”

The road into the town is not easy to walk, and it takes more than a day to transport it out, and even if the wood is freshly cut, it is impossible to return a drip.

Li Degui said with a smile, "Yes, there is a forest in the north of the village, but it belongs to the Ji family, it is the famous Ji family in Qizhou City. ”

After a pause, he said, "It's strange to say, they used to cut wood in the winter in previous years, why did they cut it in the summer this year?" ”

Knowledgeable people know that the wood cut in winter has less moisture, and the quality of the wood is better, and the wood in summer has heavy moisture, which is easy to crack after drying, and the furniture made is also easy to crack.

Furniture makers generally don't cut wood in the summer.

The Ji family opened a furniture factory, made furniture for many years, and has a good reputation, it is impossible not to know this.

"Could it be that the wood is not enough to take a large order?" Mu Jiu thought about it like this and turned around and called Zero One, "You go and take a look." ”

Zero Yi got the order, turned around and left.

"Stop." Lin Changsheng stopped the person, "Follow the master, and then arrange for others to do this." ”

Li Degui didn't know what Mu Jiu was doing, and said with a smile, "What do you want to do Jiu'er, just do it Uncle do, he is not familiar with this." ”

Mu Jiu just smiled, "It's a small thing, it's okay, he can handle it." "But he didn't insist that Zero One go.

Li Degui suddenly realized what he could help with Mu Jiu's affairs, and smiled to hide his embarrassment.

happened to pass by a small ditch with water in it, and Li Degui and Mu Ying'er went to wash their hands.

The source of the ditch was a very small spring, the water in the ditch was very clear, Lin Changsheng took out the peaches and washed them, and handed them to Mu Jiu.

Mu Jiu took it and ate it, it was quite sweet, but it would be even sweeter after a while.

Li Degui is also a daughter-in-law, seeing this, he said, "Most men don't take their daughter-in-law seriously, but they don't know that the man who knows how to love his daughter-in-law is the most promising and blessed!" ”

"Uncle is right." Lin Changsheng agreed.

He has always been cold and arrogant, and he is very humble in front of Li Degui, which is really rare.

Mu Jiu and Mu Ying'er looked at each other and smiled.

Mu Ying'er said, "So Changsheng and Jiu'er are both very blessed people. ”

"Uncle and aunt too, we are all very blessed."

"Hey, hey......" Li Degui touched the back of his head and smiled innocently.

When a group of people arrived at Li Degui's house, Mu Ying'er began to burn fire and water, and Li Degui grabbed a big rooster and slaughtered it.

Lin Changsheng sat in a corner of the courtyard, his eyes empty.

Xiaomi followed Mu Jiu step by step, but Xiaocao helped Mu Ying'er light the fire in the kitchen.

When the water boiled, Mu Ying'er took out the water spinach and cowpeas to choose.

People in the village usually take the vegetables to the small river at the edge of the village to wash, but Li Degui's house drilled a well, and Mu Ying'er washed the vegetables at home.

At this time, Li Degui's chickens were also killed.

Time flies, when the sun has climbed overhead.

Li Degui soaked a handful of shiitake mushrooms, "This is picked up in the mountains in the spring, it's fragrant!" ”

Chicken stew with mushrooms is full of nutrition.

However, when she was at home, under the influence of Lin Changsheng's words that she was not in good health and that she was not suitable to have children for the time being, Li Xiaotao stewed chicken soup for her every once in a while, and she couldn't help but drink it.

So much so that after a period of time until now, Mu Jiu smelled the chicken soup and changed color.

After stewing the chicken, Li Degui cooked the sauerkraut fish again.

Under Lin Changsheng's order, Xiaomi and Mu Jiu ate at the same table.

Li Degui was very enthusiastic and kept greeting Mu Jiu, "Jiu'er eat more." ”

also gave Mu Jiu a bowl of chicken soup, "Come, chicken soup supplement." ”

Mu Jiu glanced at the sauerkraut fish, "I'd better drink fish soup, I'm scared to eat chicken soup at home by my mother." ”

"That's also a girl who loves you, look at how thin you used to be, and this time you finally grew a little meat." Mu Ying'er said, picked up the soup spoon casually and scooped a large piece of fish belly meat for Mu Jiu, "Eat more, your uncle will fight again next month, strive to beat a few more, and send two to you." ”

Li Degui said, "I played a lot in March and wanted to send you two, but your people said that you were not there, and they refused to accept it, so they sent it back to me." ”

Mu Jiu explained, "There are some things at home during this time, and I didn't go to Qizhou, but I will be in Qizhou most of the time." ”

"This dare is good, the oranges I planted two years ago have borne fruit this year, and after the peaches have been eaten, there will be oranges to eat."

"Thank you uncle first."

"Hey, don't keep saying thank you, since you call me uncle, it's normal for uncle to give fruit to his niece."

Mu Jiu generously agreed, "That's still thanks to uncle, it seems that this uncle is right!" ”

"Hahaha......"

The group laughed happily, and after lunch, Mu Jiu rested for a while, preparing to continue to enter the town inside.

When I got on the road, I encountered a large convoy of timber outside.

This time, though, they were transporting old timber instead of freshly cut wood.
