hunter's daughter-in-law

The next day, the two woke up early in the morning, packed all their things into the car and set off to Zhang Nanny's house.

The farmers all got up very early. When the two arrived in the village, many people had already got up to work. They couldn't help being surprised when they saw Yuan Hong and Zhang Jin, and couldn't help but glance a few more times.

Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong didn't have time to care about it, so they drove straight to Madam Zhang's house. The courtyard door was open, and Nanny Zhang happened to be cleaning the yard.

"Oh, why are you down at this hour?" Nanny Zhang hurriedly put down the broom and came out of the yard, "Come in and sit for a while!"

"No, Madam Zhang." Zhang Jin took out the pork jerky that had been wrapped in advance, "We have to go to the town to sell the prey that Yuan Hong caught later, so we won't go in and sit down. This is the pork jerky we made , specially brought some for you to taste."

Seeing this, Nanny Zhang couldn't help but said, "Why bother to come here specially for this, it's delaying your business instead!"

"You have taken care of us a lot, as it should be."

"Okay, don't be sour!" Nanny Zhang waved her hand, but she couldn't stop smiling, "Hurry up, there are too many people late."

After the two said goodbye to Madam Zhang, they drove the ox cart to the main road, and picked up an unknown uncle by the way. After getting off the car, the old man kept thanking the two of them.

When we arrived in the town, we came to the same restaurant as last time, and the shopkeeper was doing his calculations.

"Oh! I'm really waiting for you!" The shopkeeper looked up and said anxiously when he saw them, and quickly came out from behind the counter, and came to the two of them.

"Brother Yuan Hong, you are too mean! It's been almost half a year, and I haven't seen you bring over a prey. I thought it was some restaurant that snatched you!" The shopkeeper complained.

Yuan Hong replied, "I'm sorry, things have been delayed these days. You see, I'll send it to you as soon as I'm free. It's the same as before, fresh."

The shopkeeper grinned and said, "As long as it is not snatched by other restaurants. Brother Yuan Hong, I can trust your character and skills, and the prey is always like this!"

The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up.

Yuan Hong didn't listen to him anymore, and went straight to the topic, talking about the price of the prey he brought this time.Because I am an acquaintance, I have done business many times. Although the shopkeeper is very smooth, the price he gives is still very reasonable.This time the prey was sold for 10 taels of silver.

The main purpose of the two this time was pork jerky, so after they finished talking, Zhang Jin asked the shopkeeper.

"Please help the shopkeeper, do you know any store here that specializes in selling snacks and food?"

The shopkeeper heard the words and replied, "The most famous dim sum shop in our Chang'an town is 'Xiao Zhai'. There are many varieties of dim sum and delicious taste. It is famous in all places. If you want to eat dim sum, It’s definitely worth buying there. Although the price is a bit expensive, it’s worth the money. I, Zhu Youfu, are also in the catering business, but I admire the owner’s craftsmanship from the bottom of my heart!”

Originally, it would be better to go directly to shopkeeper Zhu to cooperate, but this restaurant only deals in food, so Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong decided to find a special dim sum shop.

The store recommended by shopkeeper Zhu seemed really good. When the two arrived at "Xiao Zhai", the business inside was very hot.It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Zhang Jin found a little waiter who was a little free, and explained to him why he came.

"In this case, please stay here later, I will ask the boss for instructions and give you a reply."

Zhang Jin has a good impression of this store. First of all, the attitude of the service staff is good, second, the decoration is very refreshing and clean, and there are many varieties of dim sum in the store, which are divided into different categories, so that people will not feel dazzled.

After taking a closer look at the place, the original mistress returned to the two of them, "Our boss invites you two to come in for an interview."

Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong followed him to the back of the shop, and saw a large backyard inside. Opposite the backyard was a well-decorated two-story house, and the two were brought into the hall of the house.

A young man in his twenties was sitting on the Taishi chair. When he saw the two people coming in, he put down the teacups in his hands and casually called them to sit down. The waiter served them tea and left.

Only then did Zhang Jin notice that this young man was actually a pregnant woman with a big belly!

The man said unhurriedly, "I heard that you are going to cooperate with our store, and the ugly words come first, and it is impossible for me to be dissatisfied at all!"

Zhang Jin smiled slightly, got up and opened the wrapped pork jerky, "This is the finished product we brought, if you don't mind, you can try it now, if you are not satisfied, we can leave immediately."

Seeing what Zhang Jin said, the man cheered up a little and took the jerky pork, and looked at it casually for a while, "I've heard of jerky pork elsewhere, and no one in Chang'an Town can make this, so today is the first time I've seen it. .”

The man casually picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, a stream of light flashed in his eyes, "Can you tell me where you learned it from?"

"We just have a recipe."

The man straightened his body, "That's good! I'll buy your prescription!"

Zhang Jin didn't expect that this man had such a big heart, but he still had to make a living on this dried pork, so it was impossible to sell it, at least not now. "Sorry, we don't intend to sell this prescription."

"Cut, it's boring." The man lay back leisurely, "Okay, then what do you guys think about it?"

Yuan Hong said, "We want to sell the dried pork in your shop, or you can decide whether to sell it to you."

The man sneered, "It's really a good idea! Well, since your dried pork tastes good, and I'm too tired today, I don't want to say more, so I'll go with the second option. Uncle Wang, come here for a while." trip!"

After a while, an old man about 60 years old appeared, "Madam, what's your order?"

"Go talk to them about the business, do whatever you want, you can do what you want. If Li Mingyin comes back, tell him not to bother me, I'm going to sleep!" The man was about to walk away when he suddenly turned around and said, "I took the pork jerky in your hand away, and you will settle the score later, Uncle Wang."

"Okay, ma'am."

This man really has a personality.Zhang Jin thought in her heart.

"You two, please follow me here." Uncle Wang led the two of them to the other direction.

Yuan Hong pulled Zhang Jin, who had just recovered, and followed him.

Soon they negotiated with Uncle Fu, and the store purchased a total of 40 catties of dried pork from them.For the rest, Zhang Jin knew that Yuan Hong also liked to eat, so he stayed at home.

Uncle Wang paid them 20 taels on the spot. During the conversation, Zhang Jin couldn't believe his ears, but he was willing to pay them 40 taels of silver for only 20 catties of dried pork!Really right! ?But he was willing to pay a high price, Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong followed suit, they really wanted to see what price "Xiao Zhai" would sell for.

Afterwards, Uncle Wang presented some snacks to the two of them.After tasting it, Zhang Jin finally understood why the business of "Xiao Zhai" was so good, it was really delicious, and the appearance was also very beautiful!

After inquiring, the two found out that the man who saw them just now was called Lou Xiao, and the real owner of this shop, that is, the chef was actually Lou Xiao's man, named Li Mingyin.

After leaving "Xiao Zhai", the two had a total of 35 taels of silver on hand, which could almost buy a few acres of land.So instead of going home directly, the two bought some gifts and went to Yuanjia Village to find the village chief.

The regulations here are like this, if a certain village has land to sell, it will be reported to the village head, and if you want to buy it, go directly to the village head to pick it up. After the purchase, the village head will lead both parties to the government to go through the regulations. Just go through the procedures.

Zhang Jin's impression of the village chief was still a majestic old man from last year, but seeing him this time was a little different from his impression, and he felt quite kind.

"It's time to buy some fields. People here rely on the land for food all their lives. You can make a fortune by hunting, but it's always safer to farm." The village chief said to Yuan Hong with relief after learning of the two's intentions. "I watched you grow up too, it's great that you're fine!"

"Thank you uncle for your concern!" Yuan Hong said.

"Look at what you kid said! Well, you wait here, I'll go and show you the notebook."

After the village chief finished speaking, he entered the inner room and came out with a thick notebook within a moment.

"People in the village don't have many fields to sell. But it happens that there are fields next to the mountains to sell here, which are much closer to where you live than other places. You can come and have a look."

Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong looked at the place pointed by the village chief. It said "Yuan Jun, selling three acres of land, northeast, backing the mountain." Behind it was a map of Zhang Yuan's family village, which marked the property of each household. field.

"I'll take you to have a look now. If you are satisfied, you can make a decision."

After the village chief finished speaking, he took Yuan Hong and Zhang Jin to the field that Yuan Jun wanted to sell.

After reading it, both expressed satisfaction.Although the location here is relatively remote, as the village chief said, the place where they live is much closer than other fields, and they are not close to other people's fields. In the future, there will be less disputes with others when irrigation or release of water. Come on, that's exactly what they wanted.

After making a decision, Yuan Hong explained their wishes to the village chief.

"As long as you are satisfied. The price he offered is ten taels per mu, which is already relatively cheap."

Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong expressed their willingness to accept.

"Well, Yuan Hong and I will go to the Yamen tomorrow, and then you can prepare the money and give it to Yuan Jun directly."

Thanks to the village head, the two slowly drove the ox cart up the mountain.

This time is suitable for planting rice, and the two decided to plant all three acres of rice with rice.But they still have to hurry up to make money, and they only have 5 taels of silver left in their hands. The three mu of land is not enough, so they have to buy more land. They also hope that the dried pork can sell well, so that they can earn more money.
