Although Shen Lan's cooking skills are not very good, she still tastes very good. The corn tortillas are very sweet, and considering that the weather is still very hot, she steams the corn tortillas in a pot instead of using oil. fry.

While everyone was eating corn cakes, someone passed by the door and shouted: "Shen Lan, why don't you go to the village ancestral hall? I heard that Landlord Pan has passed by, and now everyone is going to get food. Handed over."

Shen Lan, who was standing at the door of the east room eating cakes, heard this and responded loudly: "Hey! I know, I will take Xiaoxia there right now!"

I originally thought I would come back later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. Fortunately, she had already steamed the tortillas.

"Xiaoxia, let's go!" Shen Lan turned around and entered the house. All the money in charge of this family belongs to Xiaoxia.

"Hmm!" Su Xiaoxia nodded with a piece of corn tortilla in her mouth, then reached into the bowl and picked up another piece. She needed to eat two pieces to be full.

Yesterday when she was selling pork, she said she wanted to give some money to Shen Lan and Xu Yiyun. She originally wanted to give it to Shen Lan and Xu Yiyun after finishing the meal, but when she encountered those guys stealing something during the meal, she forgot about it.

I'll give it to you later after the rent is paid, so you can calculate the money properly!

"Sanbao, go too!" Seeing this, Sanbao stuffed the patient into the capital, grabbed another one with his little hand, then quickly came to Su Xiaoxia's side, grabbed Su Xiaoxia's pants, "Sanbao, go with your mother!"

"Okay, go with mother." Su Xiaoxia picked up the two pieces of cake with one hand, and then freed up one hand to hold Sanbao.

But when she was leaving, she said to Xu Yiyun: "You three can stay at home. Xu Yiyun, if you are full, help me peel the wood off. The wood can also be dried and used as firewood."

"Yeah." Xu Yiyun nodded, "If anything happens, ask someone to come back and call me."

"Sure!" Su Xiaoxia responded, holding Sanbao in hand, and walked out of the house with Shen Lan.

The village ancestral hall is the ancestral hall of Xujia Village. When there is something to discuss in the village, it is basically here, or you go to the village chief's house, but it is usually here at the ancestral hall. After all, the front of the ancestral hall is The courtyard is very spacious.

Eighty-nine percent of people in Xujiacun are named Xu, and occasionally several families have different surnames. Xujiacun is named this way because there are relatively many people with the surname Xu.

Pan Zhengmin, in his early forties, is the richest landowner in Shiliba Township. He lives in Panjia Village. Many of the fields in the surrounding villages, including Xujia Village, have been bought by Pan. If the villagers want to farm, You have to rent land or buy land.

Compared with other landlords, Pan Zhengmin is still a good landlord with a kind heart and a kind heart.

Because his daughter fell ill after birth, a monk told him to do one good deed every day so that his daughter could grow up healthily, so Pan Zhengmin would go to the city to give porridge to charity on weekdays.

He was more kind than other landlords when it came to land leasing and taxation. Although he would make a lot of money from it, he would not deliberately and hatefully oppress the people.

Therefore, every time he or he sends people over to collect rent and food, everyone is very cooperative. If you are really short of money, you can issue an IOU first, but you need to pay some interest...

The original owner had been to the ancestral hall once before. When he got married to Xu Yiyun, he needed to come here to pay respect to his ancestors. No matter what happened after that, the original owner never came here.

If Shen Lan hadn't led the way, Su Xiaoxia would have led Sanbao astray.

"Xiaoxia, are we sure we want to pay? This is a lot of money!"

"Pay the money." Su Xiaoxia said, "Don't worry, mom, we have enough money and there is more."

"Sure, I'll listen to you." Shen Lan smiled, her eyebrows filled with relief, thinking that there would definitely not be a second daughter-in-law better than her daughter-in-law in these ten miles apart!

At the village ancestral hall, the villagers were all queuing up, and everyone was carrying food on their backs. More or less, looking around, only Su Xiaoxia had empty hands.

Those who handed over food queued up, and everyone else was waiting nearby, so Shen Lan stood aside holding Sanbao.

"Xiaoxia, why are you and your mother-in-law here? Xu Yiyun?" The woman behind Su Xiaoxia asked doubtfully, "You don't want to pay for the food? I heard that you rented a lot of fields!"

"He's at home! We just pay the money and my mother and I will come."

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the woman, the other people in the queue were also shocked. This was probably the first person in Xujia Village who said that he would pay money but not pay food.

Su Xiaoxia also knew the reason for everyone's shock. Comparing paying money with paying food, paying food would relieve a family's pressure to a greater extent.

If the grain is gone, you can buy it with money, and the landlord does not stipulate that you must hand over good grain, as long as the quantity is met, it doesn't matter if the grain is of poor quality.

"Xiaoxia, are you kidding? Do you really have to pay?"

"Yes, as for food, it's better to store it for the winter." Su Xiaoxia said with a faint smile.

"That's not the case. Just wait until the time comes and spend money to buy it. It's too early to stock up on food now!"

"It's getting late. I don't think it will rain these days. I'm worried that it will be difficult to grow things by then. It's better to stock up on food. Otherwise, I won't be able to buy food even if I have money."

Su Xiaoxia knew the plot of this book, so she would do this. She would say this, and she would just mention it. If these people can listen, they will listen. If they can't, it is none of her business anyway. She has reminded her here. .

After hearing this, many people in the queue realized that it really hadn't rained for many days. If they paid for the food, their family's money would not be enough to buy food and store it. Yes, but the family doesn’t have a penny left.

Su Xiaoxia no matter how entangled everyone was, when it came to her, she directly asked: "How much does Xu Yiyun's family have to pay in total?"

"Pay? Are you sure?"

The person responsible for keeping accounts is one of the Pan family housekeepers, who is responsible for following Pan Zhengmin out to collect grain and money. His name is Feng Nan, who is in his early thirties.

"OK." Su Xiaoxia nodded.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll do the math." Feng Nan said. He originally did the calculation according to the method of paying for food, but now it was the first time someone asked him to pay. Without preparation, he could only do the calculation on the spot.

While waiting, Su Xiaoxia looked elsewhere.

There are two chairs in the shade not far away. There are two people sitting on the chairs. One is the potbellied Pan Zhengmin, and the other is in his early ten years. Ya bun.

Presumably, this little girl is Pan Zhengmin's daughter, named Pan Ting. It is said that he got a daughter from old age, and none of his wives or concubines at home had any other children, so he loved this girl very much and indulged her in everything.

This girl has a good temperament and is not overbearing like the landlord's girl in other novels.

Suddenly, she saw an emerald-green snake crawling over from the eaves on the ground, and that direction seemed to be aimed at Pan Ting, but no one noticed it.
