Chapter 79: The House on Zhuangzi
Since the Master of Qingshan Temple would not be back in the short term, Xiao Li gave up the idea of thanking him in person.
But after thinking about it, he finally wrote a letter and asked Yu Qingshan to pass it on to him, and then he took his family to the farm given by the other party.
Yu Qingshan also came along, just to lead the way and stay for a few more days. Once they were more familiar with the place, they would go back to Qingshan Temple.
The Xiao family thought they had a chance to repay the favor, but when they learned from Xiao Li that the manor was a gift from the master, they almost worshipped Yu Qingshan.
Yu Qingshan was not used to their behavior. After some persuasion, they finally got along as they did before.
However, I can still feel the difference occasionally, and that difference is nothing compared to the previous unfamiliarity.
Different from the way they came, Yu Qingshan led them down the mountain from the opposite direction, and arrived at Zhuangzi two hours later.
Five hundred acres is almost half the size of Yangliu Village, and everyone was stunned by the sight.
Even the head of the family, Xiao Shugen, was so excited that he stuttered, "Is this ours from now on?"
"This farm will be ours from now on. Grandpa can plant whatever he likes. If he doesn't want to work hard, we can rent it to the people like Qingshan Temple did in the past." Xiao Li thought that five hundred acres was not a big deal, which was about the same as a farm.
Compared with the grain bases of later generations that often cover hundreds of thousands of acres, it is nothing.
In addition, the space he currently has is enough for him to work on, and he does not plan to cultivate the 500-acre farm himself.
Xiao Shugen nodded in shock, "Okay! Okay! We can't grow that much, so we'll just grow a few acres of food for our own consumption, and rent the rest out to others to grow."
There are only a few people in their family, and even if they work day and night, they can't grow much. It's better to rent it out.
Renting out the house can not only feed more people, but the family can also collect some rent, which provides a stable income without having to worry about running out of money.
"Listen to grandpa." Xiao Li still respects this old man who is willing to leave his hometown for his grandson.
Under the leadership of Yu Qingshan, the group had a rough idea of how big the Zhuangzi was, but they did not take a closer look.
If you really want to look at it carefully, it will take you at least three or two days to finish it.
Because they were in a hurry to check the territory, everyone didn't prepare lunch and just ate dry food.
It was not until the sun set that the group went to the house that Qingshan Temple had built here in the past: a three-story house with blue bricks and black tiles, covering an area of more than one acre and nearly two acres.
Unlike those houses in the city that pay so much attention to aesthetics, the main consideration here is practicality.
The house in front of you is actually the effect of three ordinary farmhouses superimposed on each other.
Entering from the gate is the front yard and the first courtyard. Opposite is the main hall. There is an eight-diagram well made of blue bricks on the right side of the main hall. On the right are three rooms of different sizes. The room near the door has a small bed, which is used for night watch. The room in the middle is filled with farm tools such as hoes. The room closest to the main hall is the largest and is now empty. It is a warehouse. There are only two rooms on the left. Next to the main hall is a warehouse with many wooden shelves, which used to store dry goods or herbs. Next to it is the kitchen.
The road leading to the back is not only through two small doors in the main room but also behind the kitchen.
That's right, in addition to the area of the house itself, there is also a lot of space reserved for growing fruit trees, and there are also some empty vegetable plots.
But they are all on the far left after entering the door. The fruit trees are next to the yard, and a bluestone path separates the vegetable garden next to the wall.
After walking along a bluestone path, you enter the second courtyard. The layout is similar to the first courtyard. The only difference is that there are only two houses on each side, one large and one small.
There is also a bluestone path in the middle of the yard, with some drying racks on both sides, but they are all empty now.
Continuing to walk forward, the third courtyard is the most different. The main hall has become a pigpen, stable, cowshed, etc. There are two warehouses of the same size on the right, and three rooms on the left. The larger one is used to store carriages and the like, and the remaining two rooms are warehouses.
Continue walking down the bluestone path outside the yard and you will reach the back door of the house. Although it is not as high as the main gate, it is about the same size as the main gate, making it convenient for carriages to pass through.
Next to the back door, there is a small house in the corner of the house, which is used specifically for night watch.
There is the same Bagua well in every yard, and two or three fruit trees are planted outside the yard. Opposite the fruit trees are either some unknown herbs or empty vegetable fields.
Along the way, the Xiao family members kept happily praising the beauty and practicality of the house. Even Lin Qing, who was always calm, couldn't help but nod frequently.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Yu Qingshan smiled and said, "I am relieved that you all like this place."
Seeing that Xiao Shugen and the others were about to be polite to him again, he raised his hand and shook his head, "No need to say more, kind people. Young Master Xiao is a man of great benevolence and righteousness. He deserves all this."
Xiao Li: "..." If I wasn't the person involved, I would have been fooled by his serious look.
When the others heard what he said, they looked at each other, not knowing what he meant for a moment.
Lin Qing was the first to react, "But what about the drought in Liangzhou?"
"Exactly!" Yu Qingshan had been studying his medical skills for a long time and was considered half his master. He was well aware of his extraordinary intelligence. "Young Master Xiao's thoughts are consistent with what I have calculated. Moreover, Young Master Xiao has proposed many methods to save lives. This will save many lives. This is a great merit. How can these material things compare to Young Master Xiao's great benevolence and righteousness?"
Xiao Li looked at him coldly as he praised him, sneering in his heart.
It's okay if he wants to trick me, I will get back at him sooner or later.
As he finished speaking, Yu Qingshan suddenly felt a chill on his back, and had a feeling that he was going to be unlucky.
Almost subconsciously, he began to calculate with the hands hanging by his legs, but he could not figure out anything.
In their line of work, there is a saying that if you calculate others but not yourself, you can't calculate yourself, so he was not surprised. But he couldn't understand why he suddenly felt that he was going to be unlucky?
Lin Qing looked at Xiao Li and opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end he didn't. He just said calmly, "Master, if there's anything you can do with us, please let us know. We may not be as capable as Li'er, but if you need us to help, we won't refuse."
Xiao Shugen nodded in agreement, "Qing'er is right. We may not have much experience, but we do have some strength."
The others also looked in agreement. Yu Qingshan nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, kind people. If that day ever comes, I will tell you the truth."
As the group walked back and talked, Lu Yuan looked at his little daddy with admiration and silently made up his mind that he would become a great man like his little daddy in the future.
Cao Ge'er also had a similar expression to him. He walked behind Lin Qing holding Cao Ge'er in his arms, looking at Lin Qing with both admiration and envy.
He is not as smart as Qing'er, and his vision is not as broad as Qing'er. He does not ask himself to be as capable as Qing'er in the future. He just hopes that Bao'er can be half as smart as Qing'er in the future.
When the yards were being allocated, the group had already found their own houses tacitly without saying anything.
Because Shen Congzhou went into the city, Xiao Li directly arranged a room for him, the one on the right side of the main hall; the one on the left side was where Yu Qingshan stayed temporarily, and it was left empty when he was not staying there, so that people could stay there when there were guests staying overnight; Niu Dahe and his wife chose the room at the very edge of the right side.
The Xiao family lived in the second courtyard. The old couple lived in the room to the right of the main hall, and Lin Qing lived in the room opposite.
Xiao Laosan and his family of three lived in the big house next to the main hall on the right. The smaller house next to it was left empty, ready to be cleaned up in the future and given to Baoger to live in when he grew up.
Xiao Li and his wife lived in the house on the left, directly opposite Xiao Lao San's house, and the smaller one next to it was going to be used as a study.
After allocating the accommodation, the group started cooking.
Because of Yu Qingshan's reminder, they knew that the house was almost empty, so they specially brought down some fresh vegetables from Qingshan Temple. They also prepared smoked meat and other meats for the journey, as well as two chickens sent by Qingshan Temple.
No matter what era, the first meal after moving into a new home is always given special attention, and the Xiao family is no exception.
For this reason, Xiao Li, who had not been allowed to cook for a long time, was pushed by them to cook.
The kitchen is very big and it doesn't seem crowded even with a group of people inside.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, young or old, or brothers, no one was idle. They worked together and spent an hour to prepare this meal.
Stir-fried smoked pork with garlic sprouts, braised rabbit, poached chicken, spicy chicken, crispy chicken, stir-fried chicken offal, cabbage in chicken soup, cold wild vegetables, fried peanuts, and the staple food is rice stewed in chicken soup.
On the way, everyone ate from separate bowls. When Aunt Xianglan went to set the table, she subconsciously only took portions for the Xiao family and Yu Qingshan, intending not to sit at the table herself.
When Lu Yuan brought the dishes to the table, she was stunned for a moment and called her, "Aunt Xianglan, two sets of bowls and chopsticks are missing."
"No, not less." Aunt Xianglan didn't think it was a big deal not to eat at the table together. "My boss and I can just eat in the kitchen."
"How can this be possible?" Lu Yuan frowned, "We've been eating together all the way!"
Seeing that the young man didn't treat them as servants at all, Aunt Xianglan was very grateful, but she still shook her head and explained to him, "This is the rule. I, the head of the household, will serve the food out in a while. Don't worry, brother Yuan."
In fact, according to the rules, they should call Yuan Ge'er the head husband, but Yuan Ge'er couldn't stand it, so he always called him Yuan Ge'er.
"This..." Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said as he ran, "I'll go talk to Xiao Si!"
When you are in doubt, look for Xiao Si!
Xiao Li had just finished washing his hands when he saw his young husband running towards him, holding up his clothes. He reached out and hugged him, looking down at him, "What's wrong?"
