Chapter 155 Land Deed Obtained
"Sixty mu of barren hills, thirty taels of silver, four mu of wasteland, six taels of silver."
As the village chief handed the cloth bag of silver and money to An Yue, he also signaled An Yue to hand the silver and money to the chief clerk.
An Yue counted the silver used to purchase the barren mountains and wasteland, placed it respectfully on the table, and put the remaining silver in her own cloth bag.
The chief clerk picked up the cloth bag of silver and money, carefully checked the amount, and after confirming the number, he began to write on the receipt.
An Yue subconsciously squeezed the silver and money bag in her hand, and couldn't help feeling distressed as she watched the silver suddenly disappear.
But when I thought about the great use of this barren mountain in the future, I didn't feel so painful anymore.
She looked at the clerk who was writing with a brush, and An Yue couldn't help but turn her head to look at An Nian.
An Yue discovered that An Nian had completely changed since he entered the chief clerk's study.
An Nian always stared at those calligraphy and paintings, as if he was thinking about something.
He was only seven years old, but he could sit there quietly, his little eyes almost blurry.
Looking at his expression like this, An Yue felt both happy and worried.
I thought that if An Nian really wanted to take that path in the future, I would have to pave the way for him in advance.
However, that road is extraordinary and will be full of thorns along the way.
How easy is it to pave the way for him?
In this age of class division, there is no absolute black or white.
In this class of scholars, farmers, workers and businessmen, no matter which class you are in, if you don't know how to maneuver when dealing with people, you will be unable to move forward.
An Yue felt somewhat disappointed when she saw that the chief clerk did not ask any more questions about cooking.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: [It seems that the chief clerk has no interest in food, I have to find a new way! ]
At this time, the chief clerk called An Yue to come forward and sign and put her fingerprints.
complete!
He then said to the village chief, "Village Chief Li, please come over and sign. Put your fingerprint here."
After the village chief put his fingerprints on the property, the chief clerk stamped his seal and said, "The purchase procedures have been completed. Keep the deed!"
The village chief handed the land deed to An Yue.
An Yue took the deed and looked at it, her face showing uncontrollable joy. She quickly called An Nian to come over to her, and the three of them bowed at the same time and said, "Thank you, sir!"
The chief clerk smiled faintly at the three of them and nodded, indicating that they could leave.
An Yue held An Nian's hand, and the three of them turned around and walked to the door of the study when they were suddenly stopped by the chief clerk.
"Wait, the girl just said that she knows how to cook?"
An Yue smiled brightly and turned around.
"Just a little bit, a little bit."
"Well, girl, tell me, what kind of dishes can you cook?"
An Yue took a few steps towards the chief clerk, her gestures showing confidence and generosity, and said: "Pork can be made into braised pork, five-spice braised pork, crispy pork belly, crispy pork belly, stir-fried pork shreds, etc., countless."
The chief clerk nodded with a smile and said, "Hmm... not bad, not bad! What about the fish?"
"I heard a few days ago that there is a restaurant that serves fish that is really delicious! It's a pity that I am busy with official duties and can't take the time to taste it."
An Yue replied, "Fish! There are many ways to cook it, such as steamed fish, stewed fish, sweet and sour fish, boiled fish, fried fish, etc. The cooking methods are different and the taste and aroma are different."
After An Yue finished her introduction, she saw the chief clerk standing there motionless, with an infatuated look on his face, as if the delicious fish was already in his mouth.
That's right, he was distracted.
An Yue shouted, "Sir."
Still no movement.
She simply walked up to the chief clerk, raised her hand and shook his eyes, and called out, "Sir?"
The chief clerk finally came to his senses, as if realizing that he had lost his composure just now. He quickly raised his hand to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth, laughing to hide his embarrassment, "Haha... Just listening to the girl announce the names of the dishes makes me salivate with greed!"
He smiled awkwardly and said to the village chief: "Haha... this little girl is really capable! If I have the chance, I will definitely visit your village. Of course, I also want to taste the delicious food that the little girl mentioned."
When the village chief heard what the chief clerk said, he nervously bowed and responded, "Bai Li Village respectfully welcomes you, sir."
"Your village is called Baili Village, right?"
The village chief bowed his head and said, "Yes, sir."
The chief clerk walked forward a few steps with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his beard, and continued, "Well... you are the head of the village! These two children are still young, and their parents have passed away, but paying taxes is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen of Xiyue, and this chief clerk is powerless to change it. But these two children are really pitiful, and you, as the village head, have to take good care of them on weekdays."
The village chief wiped his sweat and replied, "Of course."
An Yue said gratefully: "Thank you for your consideration, sir. The village chief takes good care of us siblings on weekdays, and we are very grateful."
"Okay, okay, that's good, go ahead!"
This time, An Yue held An Nian's hand and walked out of the county government office, with an uncontrollable excitement on her face.
As soon as they walked out of the gate of the county government, the village chief asked worriedly: "Yueyue, can you really cook those dishes?"
An Nian smiled and answered, "Of course my sister can make it! If the uncles and aunts taste it, they will definitely like it."
"That's fine. When you have free time, Yueyue should show off her skills so that the uncles and aunts can have a taste of them."
"That's natural."
An Yue knew that the village chief was very worried about this matter.
"Yueyue, the chief clerk has said today that he will come to our Baili Village. Who knows, he might come someday. By then, you will have to really cook a few decent dishes!"
The village chief was afraid that An Yue would not be able to cook those dishes and would offend the chief clerk in charge of taxes. He would arbitrarily accuse her of a crime and she would never be able to turn over a new leaf in her life.
"Uncle, don't worry! Yueyue can make it as long as we have the ingredients." An Yue said confidently, patting her chest.
After An Nian came out of the county government office, his pair of big, cunning eyes kept looking around.
The streets were crowded with people, performing acrobatics, reciting poems, singing, making sugar figures, and performing magic tricks. It was very lively.
The three of them came to a crossroads. An Nian was watching the acrobatics being performed at the bridgehead. He was very excited. He pulled An Yue's sleeve and jumped while watching and said, "Sister, there are so many strange things in this county town!"
The village chief looked at An Nian's excitement and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
An Yue put her mouth close to An Nian's ear and said, "Niannian, you have to take a closer look. We will be back to town soon."
After crossing the intersection and walking across a stone arch bridge, there is a carriage and horse post at the end of the bridge.
"You two wait here first. I'll go over there and ask if there's a mule cart heading to Shijing Town."
The brother and sister nodded obediently, then stood at the end of the bridge hand in hand.
"Miss An Yue?"
A familiar voice came from not far away.
An Yue raised her head and looked around, but she couldn't see the owner of the voice.
