You are my golden finger

During dinner, the little ones did come back, but they were not in a good mood. Lin Xijin asked what was wrong, but the little ones kept silent.

Finally, Grandma Qi couldn't help cursing: "It's that damn Jiang. She called you an ungrateful person in front of Jia Jia, a disloyal person, and an unfilial person! You spent so much money on the clan and the village, and treated the villagers to food and drink, but you were so ungrateful to your family that you didn't even give them a penny!"

When Xihui and Xijia heard what Qipo said, their eyes were immediately filled with tears.

Lin Xijin touched their heads and wiped away their tears. Then he said to everyone: "The best steel should be used on the blade! Money is worth spending on hardworking and caring people. If everyone lives well, we can live better. But it is not worth spending a penny on those who are heartless and only know how to take. No one needs to pay attention to Jiang's abuse, and it is not worth being sad. If a dog bites you, can you bite it back? Only by making yourself stronger and holding a big stick in your hand, the dog will not dare to get close. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand! We must work hard and cheer up! Learn skills and make a lot of money!" The little ones became excited and raised their fists and shouted slogans.

Even little Jinan raised his little fist and shouted, "Money! Money! Money!"

Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing at Xiao Jinan's childish behavior!

The excitement in the village lasted for three days. Lin Xijin did not show up except for lunch at noon. Everyone knew her temper and did not come to disturb her.

After the three-day activity was over, Lin Xijin took a few workers and servants who were building the greenhouse to the farm, called the village head to arrange the work in the near future, left various vegetable seeds, and returned home to wait for the arrival of the county surveyors.

Perhaps Old Lady Shangguan had too much free time, so when she saw her family members feeding chickens and rabbits and planting and watering vegetables, she also joined in with great interest.

After breakfast, Lin Xijin was leading everyone to plant pepper seedlings in the greenhouse when the doorman came to report that Manager Li had arrived with a few people.

Lin Xijin thought that the surveyors from the county had arrived, so she hurried out to greet them. She asked the old lady if she wanted to go back with her, but she waved her hand and went back to her vegetable planting business.

When they arrived at the front yard, Manager Li and the others had been welcomed into the living room by the housekeeper. As expected, his guess was right, the surveyors from the county had arrived.

The leading surveyor was named Gu, about thirty years old, with a dark face and a tall and strong figure. He looked like a simple and honest man, and everyone called him Gu Yatou or Gutou. The two people who followed him were slightly younger, one surnamed Gao and the other surnamed Tian, ​​and everyone called them Xiao Gao and Xiao Tian.

He quickly brought out fruits and tea to entertain them, and arranged for the cook to prepare food. Although Manager Li said that everyone had already had breakfast in town, Lin Xijin, who was very smart, would not miss the opportunity to show off his preconceived ideas. He let everyone have another meal on the grounds that everyone had come from afar and should be hungry.

He secretly asked Xihui and Xinfeng to see if the clan leader, the village head, Muxiong and Uncle Jian'an were free. If they could spare the time, he would ask them to come and accompany him to the mountain to measure.

After they had finished their meal, the clan leaders also arrived one after another. When they heard that Lin Xijin wanted to buy the mountain, they were stunned. But they didn't say anything and were happy to accompany him up the mountain.

Fearing danger on the mountain, Lin Xijin asked Xihui to bring Duoduo with him, and arranged for four guards to accompany him up the mountain. He, Xihui, and Xinfeng carried tea and snacks in a backpack, and secretly opened a pack of famous cigarettes, removed the packaging, put it in a pottery jar, and carried them up the mountain together.

After exiting the back door, they reached the foot of the mountain and found out which hills Lin Xijin wanted to buy. Then they started to measure. Although Lin Xijin knew a little about surveying and mapping, he was reluctant to participate and just pretended not to understand. The clan leader and others knew nothing about the surveying method and just accompanied them.

The group worked quickly and measured the foot of the mountain in about half an hour. Soon they reached the col. Because there were four mountaintops surrounding the col, there were more points to be taken in this col.

Lin Xijin knew that she would be busy later, so she found a flat piece of grass, took out the things in the backpack, and invited everyone to smoke and drink tea.

After a short break, the surveying work of the valley officially began. Lin Xijin used the excuse of going to see if there were any prey in the traps, picked up two backpacks and walked to the valley on the left where there was a pond.

When passing by the trap, Lin Xijin saw two wild rabbits fell into it. He then threw two goats into it and went to the pond to fish.

In fact, there were still fish caught in the past in the pond in the space, but Lin Xijin couldn't go back too quickly, so he had to go fishing again.

All the fish that were caught were thrown into the space, and six fish were killed with the water from the pond before they headed back. When they were almost back, they took them out and put them in two backpacks and carried them with a wooden stick.

From a distance, he shouted loudly, "Uncle Mu Xiong."

When Uncle Mu Xiong heard the shouting, he hurried over to take over the load. He was surprised to see several fat black fish in the basket!

"Jin girl, where did you catch this fish?"

"I caught them in the pond down in the valley. Take them over first, and I'll tell you later. There are goats in the trap, too. Catch them first."

Lin Xijin stopped and asked Uncle Jianan and the two security guards to get the tools. Xihui and Xinfeng also came over to join in the fun, and they all went to catch sheep together.

After finally catching the sheep and rabbit, Lin Xijin thought it would be better to have a barbecue lunch in the mountain valley to avoid wasting time running back and forth. So she went to ask Gu Tou's opinion, and Gu Tou readily agreed.

After arranging for Uncle Mu Xiong and others to kill rabbits and sheep, Lin Xijin took two guards home to carry the food prepared for lunch.

When I got home, the meal was almost ready.

He asked the guard to wait for the food to be cooked and then bring it to the valley. He put light items such as salt and barbecue ingredients into the backpack, and he himself made the excuse of going to fetch water and slipped away with the two empty buckets.

When he was close to his destination, he took out a small can of wine weighing two kilograms from the space. He didn't dare to take too much wine, because if he got drunk, he wouldn't be able to work in the afternoon. He also filled two empty buckets with water, and then he appeared in front of everyone with a grunt.

When Uncle Jianan saw Lin Xijin showing up, he hurried over to meet her, took the two buckets of water, and regretted not going back with her to fetch more water.

Arriving at the lawn where the things were originally piled, they saw that everyone had skinned the rabbits, shaved the goats, and removed the internal organs and put them aside. Lin Xijin told Uncle Jianan to take the intestines away and bury them, and to pick some large leaves to wrap the others, and take them home later to wash them and save them for hot pot tonight. Uncle Jianan did everything he was told.

Xihui and Xinfeng had already collected a lot of dry firewood, and they continued to collect for fear that it would not be enough.

The remaining marinated ingredients were Lin Xijin's job. Without saying anything, Lin Xijin rolled up her sleeves and quickly marinated the fish and rabbit. She also rubbed one of the goats with salt, wine and ginger juice all over its body and skewered them with wooden sticks. She then asked Uncle Mu Xiong to make a simple grill with wood and started the fire to grill.

The aroma wafted out after a while. When it was baked to 80% done, Lin Xijin took out the barbecue ingredients and honey, brushed another layer of oil on it, and continued to bake it over slow fire.

The fragrance became stronger, attracting several people who were busy measuring to look in that direction.
