You are my golden finger

The ingredients were almost ready, and the two guards who were responsible for carrying the food from home also arrived at the lawn. Uncle Jianan called the surveyors back, and everyone sat around the lawn and started the picnic mode.

The family prepared a rich meal, with six dishes and a large pot of soup. Lin Xijin took out a can of wine from the backpack and handed it to Uncle Jianan, who poured it for several adult men. The amount was not much, just one bowl each.

"Let's have a few drinks at noon to relieve our fatigue, and then have a drink to our heart's content in the evening. There's plenty of wine!" Lin Xijin added with a smile.

He took out a dagger and cut the barbecue into small pieces so that it would be easier for everyone to chew.

Perhaps they were hungry, or perhaps the wine and meat were too delicious, everyone stopped talking and just focused on eating.

After eating and drinking, Gu Tou touched his stomach and said to Lin Xijin: "Miss Lin, your family's food is so delicious. I want to help your family with housework every day!"

"Brother Gu, you can come often in the future, and you can bring your family with you. You can eat whatever you want!"

"That's great. I'd like to thank Miss Lin first!"

There was still some barbecue left, so Lin Xijin asked Xihui and Xinfeng to put it away and go back later to call a few friends to eat with the old and young at home. After packing up, he asked two guards to help send it back, and he also went back to arrange tonight's meal before coming up.

When the men saw the only woman had left, they lay down on the lawn without any image! However, the two guards and Uncle Mu Xiong and Uncle Jian An were still alert, fearing that a wild beast would come out and attack them, and their lives would be in danger.

The two boys returned home, put down their backpacks, and went to each house. They quickly called Xingwen, Xingcheng, and Xingwu, and also called the two elders and three children at home. They put the barbecue in the dining room and cut a plate of fruit. Everyone started to eat with grunts.

Jin An ate a lamb chop and muttered, "Good! Good!"

The eight children ate happily, and Old Lady Shangguan and Aunt Qi also ate with their eyes closed.

The mutton and mutton offal were put into the kitchen, and three big black fish were released from the space and kept in the wooden basin.

Cut the mutton into three portions, each weighing about four or five pounds, and then ask a few children to deliver them to the clan leader, the village head, and Uncle Muxiong's homes.

He called the cook to prepare the mutton offal, told her clearly that we would have hotpot tonight, and asked them to prepare the ingredients. He went back to the room to rest for a while before heading to the back mountain.

When they got to the top of the mountain, several people on the mountain had already started the afternoon surveying work. Lin Xijin accompanied them not too far away, and also picked some herbs and threw them into the backpack. The more precious ones were thrown into the space and planted in the evening.

After measuring for more than an hour, the measurement of the back mountain was completed, and the group was led to the valley with a pond on the left. Gu Tou told her that this valley was still unowned. Lin Xijin decided to buy it as well, so the group started measuring in the valley again.

Because of the fear of wild animals on the mountain, usually no one comes to the valley. Even the clan leader and the head of the village have only come here a handful of times in their entire lives, so the environment here is particularly quiet and peaceful.

"Jin girl, why don't we go catch some fish?" Uncle Jianan couldn't help but be moved when he saw the sparkling pond.

"it is good!"

So while everyone was measuring, Lin Xijin accompanied Uncle Mu Xiong and Uncle Jian An to catch several more fish.

The valley was not big, only about 40 to 50 mu, so the measurement was completed quickly. Lin Xijin looked at the sky and decided it was just the right time to go home for dinner.

So we packed up and went down the mountain together.

After coming down the mountain, the two tables in the dining room were already prepared with hot pot soup and various ingredients. Since we had made special arrangements for lunch, Xingwen, Xingwu and Xingcheng also stayed to have dinner together.

Inviting everyone to sit at the table, several people exchanged polite words, but finally they couldn't resist the temptation of the hot pot aroma and sat down to eat. The clan leader, the village head, Uncle Jian'an, Uncle Muxiong accompanied the surveying team at one table, and the elderly and children sat at another table. Lin Xijin took care of both sides, and the four guards went to eat in the kitchen.

Lin Xijin took out two more cans of wine and told everyone to drink as much as they wanted, saying there would be plenty of wine tonight.

Gu Tou joked, "Miss Lin, your food is delicious and your wine is great. We will come here often to eat and drink!"

"We in the mountain village can only offer simple meals to entertain you. As long as you don't mind, you are welcome to come anytime."

"Miss Lin's words are enough. We will come here often." Xiao Gao and Xiao Tian echoed.

After having enough food and drink, night had fallen, and the three of them said goodbye. Lin Xijin politely asked them to stay, but they said they had to go back overnight because they still had to calculate materials the next day.

Lin Xijin ordered the coachman Liang Derong to harness the carriage, and hinted to the housekeeper to give red envelopes to the three people, and asked the little ones to bring the prepared gifts and put them on the carriage together.

The three of them politely declined, but finally accepted it.

Lin Xijin secretly told Gu Tou that she had prepared two extra gifts for him to give to his superiors.

Gu Tou gave her a thumbs up.

"Ms. Lin, you can go to the county government office to handle the deed formalities in two days. I estimate that you will need to prepare around 8,000 taels of silver. I'll be waiting for you in the government office then. Goodbye!" Gu Tou clasped his fists and bowed to say goodbye.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I will be there on time!" Lin Xijin waved to a few people and watched the carriage leave.

The clan leaders and their companions were shocked by the eight thousand taels that Gu Tou mentioned. When Lin Xijin turned around, they were still standing there in a daze.

"Uncle, what happened to you?"

"Girl Jin, are you so rich already?" Uncle Jianan broke the silence of the few people.

"Oh, the money was given by General Wu and Madam Shangguan. I want to buy the mountain to plant some herbs and fruit trees. I'll need your help after the deed is signed!"

Several people were very happy when they heard that there was something to do again.

"Jin girl, if you want to do something, just tell us, and we will do our best!"

"Jin'er thanks everyone in advance!"

He also asked each family to take two fish and a can of wine before letting them go home. They had already heard from the children that Lin Xijin had sent mutton to their home, and they felt embarrassed to eat and take it now, so they kept refusing.

In the end, a few children helped to carry it out. The four of them said goodbye and left after expressing their gratitude several times.

As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water! This is also the truth she has always believed in.

These people have always been kind to the three siblings and have always helped them. Lin Xijin is willing to give back as long as it is within her ability, regardless of the small gifts.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Xijin got up early in the morning and told the children to exercise on their own, and then asked the coachman Liang Derong to harness the carriage and drive to the county. After arriving in the county, the two had a simple breakfast and went to the county government office.

When they arrived at the county government office, Xiao Gao, who had gone with them that day, was already waiting at the door. After Lin Xijin greeted him, she realized that Xiao Gao was waiting for her, and hurriedly expressed her gratitude to him.

Xiao Gao brought Lin Xijin directly to Gu Tou's office. Gu Tou had already prepared all the documents for buying the mountain. He was just waiting for Lin Xijin to come and sign, hand over the purchase money, and stamp the official seal. Then the mountain would belong to Lin Xijin.

He signed his name and fingerprint on the document, handed in a silver note for 6,800 taels, and soon Gu Tou went to stamp it with the official seal.

After receiving the document, Lin Xijin still felt as if she was in a dream. Was the efficiency of the ancient government so high? Was it so cheap to buy a mountain?

"Miss Lin, please keep this deed in good condition. Thank you for the gift, Miss Lin. Yesterday, the county magistrate and Master Shangguan drank the tea you gave them, and they both praised it for being delicious!" Seeing that Lin Xijin looked a little confused, Gu Tou kindly reminded her.

When Lin Xijin heard this, what else was there to not understand? It must have been Shangguan Rui who helped, so she was able to get such an advantage.

Lin Xijin sincerely thanked Gu Tou and said that next time when she made new tea, she would definitely send it to everyone for tasting and let everyone give more suggestions!

They were all foxes that had cultivated for thousands of years to become spirits. Gu Tou said that everything could be discussed, and Lin Xijin said goodbye and left.

Sitting on the carriage, although he had a heart as strong as steel, Lin Xijin was also worldly and was quite happy. From now on, the hills behind the house were under his name, and he felt the pride of "being the king of the hill" in his heart.

So he asked Liang Derong to drive the car to the largest grocery store in the county, do some shopping there, and then drive to the town.

When they arrived in the town, they told Liang Derong to drive the carriage to the restaurant. Lin Xijin took the gift she had prepared off the carriage (of course, part of the gift came from cheating in the space), went to see Shangguan Rui, and expressed her gratitude to him.

"Miss Lin, you don't need to thank me. You cured my illness and gave me a life. My grandmother is still living with you and still relies on your treatment. It's my honor to help you, so don't be so polite!"

"Okay! Then I won't be polite. Bye." Waving his hand, Lin Xijin turned and left.

Looking at Lin Xijin's funny look, which finally revealed a hint of a little girl, Shangguan Rui couldn't help but laugh.
