There was white smoke in the villa, and the smell of cumin came to his nose, Liu Zhouzi looked at the charred barbecue in Liu Qiaoer's hand and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

He had never eaten food cooked in such a way, the chicken wings sizzling on the iron net, the surface was brown and crispy, and the aroma of honey juice wafted from the roasted wings.

"Is Qiao'er ready to eat?" Wang Er couldn't help but look at it dryly.

Liu Qiao'er smiled and handed the burnt chicken wings to Wang Er and Liu Zhouzi, "The people haven't arrived yet, so I'll pad your stomach first." ”

They didn't care about etiquette or anything like that, they couldn't wait to take the chicken wings, the fat and tender chicken wings were bubbling with gravy, and the honey juice wrapped the tip of the tongue when you took a bite, and the chicken was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Liu Zhouzi's eyes were shining and he nodded again and again, "It's delicious, and it smells like honey, it's really delicious." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao handed the wine to Chu Qing, worried that Liu Zhouzi and Wang Er would choke, and handed them a glass, "You eat slowly, there will be more later." ”

Liu Zhouzi and Wang Er talked about the chicken bones and could not take care of the reply, and worked hard to gnaw the chicken bones cleanly.

At this time, Liu Lizheng took Wang Lizheng, Huang Shopkeeper and Zhao Shopkeeper into the courtyard together, followed by Li Damiang and Liu Dahua, and several people entered with laughter.

The breeze blows, and the fallen leaves cross the air and fall on the green tile path, which is lined with oil lamps in the shape of plum blossoms, and the bright lights illuminate the path.

Xu Xiaoxiao was arranging the dishes, chopsticks and chairs, there were more people, and the ingredients could not be placed on the ground, so she asked Liu Zhouzi and Wang Er to move the dining table and stools that had just been set to the yard.

She spread a thin layer of dining cloth, placed an oil lamp in the shape of a lotus flower in the center of the table, and hung plum blossom oil lamps on the stumps around her, and the originally dim courtyard instantly became bright.

"It smells so good." Shopkeeper Zhao walked into the yard with a smile and was surprised to see the scene in the yard.

He came to Liu Qiao'er's side and looked curiously at the skewers tumbling in her hand.

"This is the kebab?" Shopkeeper Huang stood behind Liu Qiaoer, stretching his neck and asking curiously.

Liu Qiao'er nodded again and again, "Yes, this is the skewer, it's fragrant, come and try it." ”

She smiled and handed the roasted beef to the two of them.

Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Zhao retreated to each other, Liu Qiaoer couldn't stand it, so they stuffed a string in their hands, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

The rest of the people sat on the stools, staring curiously at Xu Xiaoxiao's tumbling roast whole sheep.

I saw her rolling while brushing bee juice on the roasted whole sheep, and the aroma of bee juice wrapped in meat wafted throughout the courtyard.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, looked at it in a daze, and licked their dry lips from time to time.

"Small, this big guy is a sheep?" Aunt Li stared at the whole sheep and asked cautiously.

Xu Xiaoxiao turned around and replied with a smile, "Yes, this is a sheep." ”

"Where did you get such a sheep?" Aunt Li couldn't help but ask curiously.

Liu Lizheng, who was sitting on the side, kicked her when he saw this, and glared at her fiercely, but asking about small things is a secret that everyone does not declare, so why do you have to ask more.

Aunt Li hung her head weakly knowing that she was too talkative, she had never seen such a big raising, not even mutton.

She was so curious.

Xu Xiaoxiao was worried that the two of them were embarrassed and chuckled, "The Westerner didn't give me a wooden box, I opened it and saw that there was a leather sheep in it, and I will take it out and eat it together if I am happy today." ”

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they had heard that Westerners like to eat beef and mutton, and Xiaoxiao helped them so much, it was not too much to give her a sheep.

Just when everyone thought it was reasonable, only Chu Qing thoughtfully took a glass of wine and drank lightly, he knew that Xu Xiaoxin was just a trick, how could a Westerner be so stingy and give her an expensive whole sheep.

But he still chose to acquiesce in the matter, after all, the situation is chaotic now, and it is already a blessing to be able to eat, and it doesn't matter where the things come out.

Xu Xiaoxiao cut a small piece of mutton and tried it, and the taste was just right, so she took the plate and cut the mutton piece by piece.

"Here, let's try it." She took the cut lamb and distributed it to the people.

Liu Dahua looked at the fragrant mutton and exclaimed, "This is also too fragrant, charred on the outside and tender on the inside." ”

The rest of the people couldn't help but taste a piece of the meat on the plate, full of juice and wrapped in a thick honey flavor.

Everyone smiled and nodded to each other, and then continued to bury their heads in hard work.

After the wine and dinner were full, Xu Xiaoxiao looked around, since it was rare to have a complete number of people, she felt that she would take a look at the current situation of Xin'an City with everyone.

"By the way, Wang Er, you said that the farmland where cotton is planted has fallen?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked curiously while wiping the corners of her mouth.

Wang Er, who was concentrating on eating mutton, heard Xu Xiaoxiao mention the matter of farmland, and he suddenly came to his senses and tried to swallow the mutton.

"Yes, yes, Lizheng, you tell the novel." He looked at Wang Lizheng and said.

Wang Lizheng put down his chopsticks when he saw that he was talking about business, "That's the case, there are still a lot of vacant farmland in our village, about a few hundred acres, I don't know if it's suitable." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it and touched her chin, she had seen the farmland in Wangjia Village, it was very desolate, and the land was not watered, it dried up everywhere, and if she took over, it would be a big project to turn over the soil again.

"Wang Lizheng, if you take over, will you give it to me as it is or will you renovate it for me?" She has never traded at a loss, although she has dealt with Wangjiacun a few times, it is better to make things clear when people are unpredictable.

Wang Lizheng was stunned for a while, and it took a while to ease up, he didn't expect Xu Xiaoxiao to be so straightforward, when he first entered the villa, he thought that he would rent out useless farmland at a high price while the prince was fishing in troubled waters, but he didn't expect this girl to be in the trap.

"That..."

Wang Er looked at Wang Lizheng with a toothpick in his mouth and smiled, "Lizheng, aren't there many idlers in our village who don't work?" It's better to let them weed and renovate the abandoned farmland, otherwise it would be too inauthentic to hand it over to someone else. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao heard Wang Er's words, he gently put down the teacup and said, "I think Wang Er is right, what you hand over is what it looks like, and what we go back will look like, we can't let us raise the farmland well and send it back, so it's better to buy a few pieces yourself." ”

Wang Lizheng glared at Wang Er embarrassedly, smiled wryly, and took a few sips of the teacup with a weak heart.

Wang Erruffian smiled angrily, he had long been tired of looking at Wang Lizheng's two sons in the family, he didn't do anything, he ate white food, he couldn't say, who said that he was in a hurry, and this old guy was very protective of his son.

"By the way, aren't your two sons free? Why don't you let them renovate it? ”

When Wang Lizheng heard the mention of his two precious sons, he instantly became anxious, he slammed the teacup on the table, and shouted angrily, "What is free, they are very busy, I will handle the renovation by myself, and there is no need for you to interfere with people from other villages." ”

When Wang Er heard this, he was angry and rushed up, people from other villages? If there is something to do, it is our family, and if you don't need it, you will become a person from another village? Okay, you're a king.

"Okay, people from other villages, don't call me if you have something to trouble in the future."

Xu Xiaoxiao watched the smell of gunpowder between the two of them getting heavier and heavier, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Wang Lizheng, how much is the rent per mu?" Is it calculated on a yearly basis? ”

Wang Lizheng heard Xu Xiaoxiao's voice suppressing his anger, and sat down from the new seat and gasped, "2 silver and one acre, the annual package is counted." ”

"Okay, won't it be too hasty to hand over the farmland to me in a week?" Xu Xiaoxiao pinched his fingers and said.

Wang Lizheng lowered his head and muttered to himself when he heard this, then raised his head and said, "Yes." ”

"Then sign the contract." Xu Xiaoxiao turned his head and stretched out his hand to Liu Qiaoer.

Liu Qiao'er knowingly took out the contract from her arms, this is the contract they prepared in advance, and all the rules and regulations are clearly marked.

Xu Xiaoxiao took the contract and handed it over to Chu Qing, she also hoped that Chu Qing could be a witness, after all, there were many people involved.

Chu Qing took the contract and read it carefully, and then handed it to Wang Lizheng, "Wang Lizheng, there is no problem with this king, you can also take a look." ”

Wang Lizhen took the contract tremblingly, nodded again and again, and began to check, the treaty on the contract was not a big problem for him to sign.

Liu Qiaoer hurriedly handed over the charcoal, and Wang Lizheng took the charcoal and began to sign his name.

After signing, it was handed over to Xu Xiaoxiao.
