Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Gu Yanzhou couldn't help but let his thoughts drift away. In his previous life, he was also injured in the back mountain, but he didn't meet Jiang Nan, but met Ergou as mentioned by the head of the village.

The man was greedy for money and took advantage of his injury to rob him of all his money and property, and then threw him into another village.

Penniless and injured, Gu Yanzhou barely survived a life-or-death situation.

However, the wound left some sequelae, and he died with hatred before he could successfully take revenge.

Gu Yanzhou lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in them.

Jiang Nan felt that Gu Yanzhou's muscles seemed to tense up for a moment.

Looking sideways, I saw Gu Yanzhou with his eyes lowered, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Village head, I will take the person away right now," Ergou walked up to the village head and said flatteringly.

He dragged his wife and children back to his residence.

Jiang Nan could see that no one in Ergou's family had good intentions.

"I'm really sorry to bother you these days, headman. I have some salt here for you to take back and feed your children! The human body cannot lack salt." The village was blocked and no one knew when the road would be accessible again. The headman had helped her a lot, and Jiang Nan had wanted to thank him before.

Jiang Nan didn't like to owe favors to others, so he gave some of the refined salt to others.

Anyway, she can refine the salt again if it's gone.

The head of the village took the small handful of salt that Jiang Nan handed over, his face full of surprise.

"Where are you from?" The villagers were completely confused. The head of the village asked Jiang Nan excitedly with eagerness in his eyes.

"I extracted this myself." Jiang Nan hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and realized there was nothing to hide. Everything she did was exposed to the villagers, so how could she have any privacy?

The villagers who were originally standing in the distance watching Ergou's family make fun of themselves, heard Jiang Nan's words and gathered around him.

Jiang Nan shook her head at the head of the village. She could give salt, but she had not yet generously and selflessly offered up the refining method.

"Miss Jiang, just tell us!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Jiang Nan looked at the people in the village without saying a word.

"Miss Jiang, how about this? You want to buy this land to build a house? The people in our village will give it to you in exchange. You don't need to pay anymore. Can you give us some salt?"

Jiang Nan only thought about it for a moment and decided that it was not impossible to tell them the refining method. It takes a long time to refine salt from wood ash, the amount of salt extracted is small, and the operation is complicated.

It wouldn't be a loss if I could exchange it for a piece of land.

"Uncle Lizheng, your words are not reliable. You have to ask the villagers first. You can't take the money by yourself."

The head of the village was so anxious to get some salt for the villagers that he forgot to ask for their opinions.

"Miss Jiang, we have salt here, and we have a method to refine it. I don't know when the road in the village will be accessible. You are not unaware of the harm caused by long-term salt shortage. You also heard what I said just now. If you agree, we will restore normal order in the village in the future. Each of us will pay for the land, a total of two taels of silver."

Two taels of silver is a lot of money, enough to cover the expenses of a family of several people for a year.

But there were so many of them, more than 200 in total! Even if they were evenly split, there wouldn't be much left, so many people immediately raised their hands in agreement.

This money has to be spent for the sake of my own children.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, let the head of the village be a witness here today. This yard will be ours. I will tell the head of the village how to do it."

The villagers were very happy to hear Jiang Nan agreed. Most of the people in the village were honest and simple. They had to pay for salt on weekdays, so no one raised any other opinions on this matter today.

Jiang Nan directly told the village head the method of refining salt.

If she were to provide salt to the villagers, it would be unrealistic for her to refine it herself, and she would be exhausted to death.

"I never thought that salt could be extracted from wood ash," the village head couldn't help but sigh.

After learning the method, the village head quickly gathered the villagers and started refining salt after dinner.

Jiang Nan looked at the head of the village who was still busy in front of him. He thought that he was a man who truly cared about the village.

"Let's go, let's continue cooking," Jiang Nan said to Gu Yanzhou.

"Okay," Gu Yanzhou suppressed the cruelty in his eyes.

The chestnuts in the pot had already been cooked, and Jiang Nan quickly fished them out.

Then put the cleaned vegetables back into the pot and cook them, adding salt to make a pot of vegetable soup.

"Xiaobei, go get the salt from your sister," Gu Yanzhou looked at the roasted snake meat in his hand, the fragrance already emanating.

Jiang Bei immediately stood up, rushed to Jiang Nan, picked up the salt, and put it next to Gu Yanzhou.

He watched Gu Yanzhou sprinkle salt evenly on the surface of the snake meat.

He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he was almost drooling just by looking at it.

Gu Yanzhou sprinkled salt on it and continued to roast it for a while to let the snake meat absorb the flavor.

The fragrance emanating from them attracted villagers from far away to look in their direction.

There is really no privacy at all, Jiang Nan complained in his heart.

"Okay," Gu Yanzhou handed the roasted snake meat to Jiang Nan.

"Share it with the two kids. I don't want to eat it," Jiang Nan quickly shook his head and refused as he looked at the snake meat that Gu Yanzhou handed over.

She would rather starve to death than eat this.

Gu Yanzhou looked at Jiangnan, whose head was shaking like a rattle, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Really, if you don't try it, it tastes pretty good," Gu Yanzhou became interested and joked to Jiang Nan.

"No, I just want to eat the chestnuts. I'll give them all to you."

"Brother Gu, you look so good when you smile. You should smile more in the future." Jiang Shuang held his chin and looked at Gu Yanzhou and Nannan infatuatedly.

Gu Yanzhou's smile paused and became much less smiling.

He had too much on his shoulders, and if Jiang Shuang hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have noticed that he was actually smiling.

"Come quickly, I'll give you some meat," Gu Yanzhou changed the subject.

"It's time to eat meat," Jiang Shuang's attention was immediately attracted and he burst into laughter with joy.

Seeing the two children happy, Jiang Nan found that it was nice to have two children to keep her company in this fictional world.

Jiang Nan poured himself a bowl of vegetable soup from the pot and ate chestnuts.

The two children were chewing on the snake meat, with satisfaction on their faces.

There wasn't much snake meat left, so Gu Yanzhou gave most of it to his two children.

There was still a palm-sized amount of snake meat left in his bowl. Gu Yanzhou pushed the meat to Jiang Nan and said, "Try it! You worked hard to catch it."

"No, I'd better not eat this! You should eat it to nourish your body," Jiang Nan pushed the bowl over again with disgust.

"No matter how scared you are, you will still defeat it and end up in someone's stomach."

After hearing what Gu Yanzhou said, Jiang Nan felt the same way. He turned his head to look at Gu Yanzhou and said, "Why don't I give it a try?"

Jiang Nan stretched out his hand and pulled out a little bit of snake meat and put it into his mouth: "Ugh."

Before Jiang Nan could taste it, his stomach had already reacted.

"You eat it! I'm not worthy of it." Jiang Nan covered his chest and refused again.

"Sister, drink some soup and rinse your mouth," Jiang Bei handed Jiang Nan the vegetable soup, his little face full of nervousness.
