Ox-Head was busy peeling the fish. When he saw her coming out, he asked her what she should do with the fish.
She had interacted with Chen Nianran for a period of time, but she understood that this owner was an expert in cooking.
After arranging a few main dishes, the few of them began to busy themselves in the kitchen.
As for Huang Dean, he became the host. There weren't any men in the house, so it was only natural that someone would pick the right person to entertain a male guest. Huang Dean just so happened to be competent.
After almost half an hour, a beautiful feast was served.
The Village Chief looked at the large table full of red-roasted fishes, the alluring and colourful roasted chicken, the spicy and fresh water to cook the meat, as well as some very beautiful dishes. He immediately opened his eyes wide and praised, "Brother Huang, your wife and sister have such excellent culinary skills!" I think that the skills of the cook that we invited might not even compare to them. "If your two people were to hold a banquet, there would definitely be a lot of people who would invite them."
As the village chief spoke, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish with his chopsticks.
"Good, good. This taste, is both sour and sweet. After taking a bite, I still want to take a second bite. I've always eaten fish made by my wife at home. When have I ever eaten fish with this taste? Even the guests in restaurants have never eaten such a delicacy. "
Huang Dean filled the wine cup for everyone, "Hur Hur, the village head is joking. These dishes were arranged by my sister. "She is intelligent, and her skill is also coincidental. Any simple dish in her hands can create good tricks."
Lin Junsheng heard and thought, "Your sister is indeed a good person. However, why is Big Brother Huang surnamed Huang while your sister is surnamed Chen? "
Huang Dean was stopped in his tracks. He looked at the Village Head, Li Zheng, and Fu Guansan's man, Fu Guiyuan. All of them were looking at him. He then laughed and scratched his head, "Actually, I won't hide it from you all. My sister and I are cousins. Well, our family has suffered a disaster. We've been engaged to a few relatives, and our wives are pregnant women. If we were to go, our children might even be born in our families. Sigh, human nature is so warm, they don't want us to sully our family, so they threw ourselves at my cousin to try to marry us. She, is also a poor person. "
Because of Huang Dean's half-truths, everyone present began to inquire about Chen Nianran's family members with great interest.
Amongst them, the one most interested was none other than Village Officer's wife.
Secondly, was the scholar, Lin Junsheng.
Before he left, the host was full of joy. Both the village chief and Village Officer patted Huang Dean's shoulder excitedly, "Brother Huang, you're not a bad person. To have such a righteous cousin like you, not bad, not bad, stay well in our village. Those things you said about the sand, I thought. It's just some sand. As long as the price was about the same, he would definitely be able to achieve it. I will discuss this with the villagers later. If they can descend, then they will. As for anything else, I really can't help. "
For this banquet, besides the host thanking him, the most important thing was to find out the price of the desert. thought that it would be a little expensive to pay three silver coins per mu of sand.
Based on his senses, if he wanted to eat this type of sandy land, it would be cheaper to eat it. After all, staying in this place only made the eyes of the villagers hurt.
If we can't grow grain there, we might as well exchange it for some money.
There was also a barren mountain surrounding the desert. Chen Nianran's plan was to eat the barren mountain at the same time that she ate the desert sand cheaply. She did not want another person to make money by relying on the barren hills, and then get into trouble again. The incident with the Mushroom Amorphophallus had made her wary.
"Aunt Fu, I'll have to trouble you today. Here, this bowl of food, don't mind it being leftovers. Go to the house, it's still warm tomorrow and you can still eat."
Neighbors in the village would treat their guests after they were done with their work. If there was more leftovers, it would be better to give them to others. Today, the taste of this dish was quite good. Because there was a lot of food to buy, it was also full. So there was still a lot left after the meal.
Thinking about Folin, her new neighbor, and how she helped him for the first time, when she sent her off, Chen Nianran insisted on sending her off with a bowl of leftovers.
The Fu family looked at the big bowl of leftovers. There were fish and meat, and there were quite a few good things. His expression immediately changed as he waved his hand, "No, no. Your family is too numerous. Just keep the food warm for tomorrow." Our family is still building a house, it's not easy to get this back. "
His family had hired someone to build a house, and the dishes were all cooked in a huge pot. He wanted to carry the bowl of food home in case people felt bad when they saw it. Yi Fu's wife quickly refused.
Chen Nianran thought about it, with the Fu Clan building a house right now with a big pot of rice, it would be really hard to arrange for them to take the dishes to the house. "Then Folin, let's eat late tomorrow night. After you send the workers away, come and eat with me at Fortune University. In the future, we will all be neighbors. How much closer must we be to each other? "
When Aunt Fu heard this, she didn't decline. In any case, her mission was to build a good relationship with this family. " C, C, big sis, you are so passionate, I want to brush away your good intentions, then I won't know how to appreciate your kindness. It's done, Lil 'Six got a shock today, you guys should go and rest early. "
After sending off the Fu family, there were only the two of them left in the house. A few of them went to comb their hair, then Chen Nianran and the little Fifth Sister walked towards Little Six's house.
The little guy's face was red from sleeping. Unexpectedly, he became feverish. It looked like this time, falling into the water would bring about some harm.
Although the temperature was not very high, Chen Nianran still helped her dry her body with the alcohol. The fever could be big or small. If one was careless, it was extremely easy for one's brain to burn in a place like this where medicine was left behind.
In between, Niu Niu wanted to change her to go to rest, but Chen Nianran didn't. " I stayed with her. I can go back to sleep tomorrow. "
Chen Nianran did not even raise her eyelids, as she continued to make clothes.
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Ox-Head decided to give up.
Although her heart ached, she knew that Chen Nianran was afraid that something bad had happened to Little Six.
Fortunately, Xiao Liu's fever had not spread far and wide. The next day, Chen Nianran sent Huang De An to get a doctor to come back, and after looking through the medicine and telling Huang De An to go and pick it up, Chen Nianran yawned and went to rest.
After he woke up, he heard a few unexpected news.
The Scholar Lin from last night wanted to settle down in this village.
The reason why they said they wanted to settle down was because the village they lived in was flooded. This was because the Lin Clan was originally a foreign family name, so whether or not they moved away from the village did not affect the villagers at all. As for him, he didn't care where he settled down. Because of this, the village had its first mister of enlightenment.
If his family were to marry him at this moment, then even if he became a poor Elementary Scholar, his daughter and his parents would be able to bask in the glory. Because of this, due to Lin Junsheng's arrival, many families in the village started to become stupid, stupid, lustful, and moved.
The third was Village Officer's wife's brother … Coming to his house!
Hearing this news, Chen Nianran did not take it to heart. Think of it as a scandal.
That day was the end of our whole village's meeting. Village Officer and the village head came to our door.
"After the discussion of our entire village, the price of that piece of sand could be lowered. However, to purchase five hundred mu of sand in one go, it must be five hundred mu."
When Village Officer said this number, Huang De An immediately frowned and looked at Chen Nianran. In his heart, he was already calculating how much manpower and money it would take to purchase five hundred mu of land.
"We will calculate one mu, and we will calculate according to two taels of silver." When Village Officer said this, he was also carefully sizing up Huang De An and Chen Nianran.
Chen Nianran was quickly calculating what she should do if she were to buy the land. To be honest, purchasing five hundred mu of sand at once was not considered expensive. One mu for two taels of silver, ten mu for twenty taels of silver, and this one hundred mu for two hundred taels of silver. But as for the management and what she wanted to do with the sand, she had to make a good plan.
After all, five hundred mu was no small amount.
"500 mu is still too much." Huang Dean could tell from her expression that she was talking about too much sand. Indeed, if one didn't produce sand, buying every 500 mu was a must. It was possible that people would treat them as fools.
Village Officer and the Village Chief knew that this request was a little excessive. They just wanted to sell that huge area of sand that was almost five hundred mu wide. After all, it wasn't easy to put it there.
Now, listening to the Huang Clan's intentions, it seemed that they did not want to eat so much. Village Officer was just about to open his mouth, but the village chief snorted and took the initiative to speak first.
"Ai, actually, it's not like we didn't think about it. Taking out a thousand taels of silver in one go is a bit too much." However, we are not unreasonable people. The five hundred mu of desert surrounded the two barren mountains, and after consultation with our entire village, we agreed. If anyone is willing to buy that piece of desert in one go, we can give the two mountains to the purchaser. Two mountains, this is not a small number. "Just from those two mountains alone, if they were developed, they'll be the leaders of a piece of land."
