This time Qixun's cooking skills finally came in handy, and Brother Hou and Third Sister Lingsu helped her. After being busy for more than an hour, a table of fruit dumplings was finally completed.

Grilled banana, apple pie, mango pudding, baked avocado egg, apple juice chicken, lemon passion fruit chicken feet, lemon honey fried chicken breast, pineapple sweet and sour pork, orange juice pork ribs, snow pear meatballs, banana yogurt, strawberry chicken, poplar sticks

Manna, watermelon and sago, lychee and rose drink, rock sugar strawberry porridge, spicy and sour apple shreds, wolfberry banana millet cake, sausage, vegetable moss and pineapple fried rice.

If he didn't have just these mouths, Qixun felt that he could make hundreds more.

Gongyu Mingxi asked Brother Hou to pick out a few items whose raw materials could not be seen, and sent a few copies to the Zuo family, the old man, and his second uncle's family. He only said that they were made from fruits that Shande occasionally got.

Brother Monkey walked quickly and was hooked by the delicious food. He returned home in less than half a stick of incense.

The family then started to move.

Because there was too much to cook, even with Brother Monkey, a big eater, there was still some leftover after finishing the meal. Brother Monkey put the leftovers into the space and planned to keep them as snacks.

Because there were so many bananas, apples, and pineapples, Qixun made a lot of banana cakes and apple pies, banana pies, and pineapple pies after dinner. Back then, Xiaoba, Xiaojiu, and Xiaoshi, the favorites, went to her house.

The ones who run away come and serve as snacks for them.

In order to prevent people from seeing the raw materials, Pai Qixun uses apple puree and pineapple cubes instead of diced apples and pineapples.

Fortunately, Brother Hou and Lingsu often went into the mountains and found a lot of strange things, and the people at Zuo's family and the ancestral home didn't think there was anything wrong.

The next day, Qi Xun and Brother Hou spent a whole day wandering around the nearby mountains before drawing a rough map of the area. To buy mountains and wasteland, just follow the large areas drawn on the drawing.

Brother Monkey was anxious to realize the Huaguo Mountain in his dream. Early on the third day, he took all the banknotes at home and ran to the county town.

When he arrived, he happened to meet Mr. Zuo, who was out of the county office patrolling the streets. Seeing Brother Hou smiling brightly at him, he was speechless. Knowing that this boy came to buy the mountain, he did not delay and went to pay the county official in person.

Your Excellency reports that Li Xingjian is currently talking to the Palace Chief Shi sent by Prince Kang of Jinling.

Then the young master from Prince Kang's mansion has been locked up in the county government office for such a long time and has not been released yet?

Brother Monkey was also surprised. The speed of doing things in Prince Kang's Mansion was not good enough.

Either he was reluctant to give Li a piece of money, or the prince of Prince Kang's palace was causing trouble.

Brother Monkey also overheard the nickname of Li Shishu, Li Papi. He thought of the county magistrate's fierceness in pulling wool, and felt that this nickname was quite appropriate.

It's a pity that Prince Kang's Mansion is different from those powerful and wealthy families. They will never lower themselves and give him money as an apology just because he is a practitioner. They would rather give more money to Li Xingjian, who has the title of county honorary, and will never pay attention to him.

He, Brother Monkey, couldn't get any wool, so he was a little regretful.

Whoever encounters this kind of regret of watching others pick it up but not being able to pick it up themselves knows it.

Brother Monkey looked at Li Xingjian sending Prince Kang's Mansion Chief Shi out of the house and clicked his tongue and shook his head.

When Li Xingjian finished seeing the person off, he turned around and saw this boy standing on the porch, tutting and shaking his head, nodding at him and laughing and scolding: "What's wrong with you? Are you here to give me money?"

Brother Monkey secretly rolled his eyes, Mr. County Lord, you are from a very powerful circle, how come you love money more than a monkey like me?

"Didn't the one who gave you money just leave? Why did you set your sights on me, my nephew? Uncle Shi, you really love money more than me. But you were right."

Then he asked Li Xingjian: "Is it not possible for Prince Kang's Palace to handle the matter? The person has not been taken away yet? In Prince Kang's Palace, the legitimate son was detained for a crime, but they are not in a hurry at all? It's just a matter of spending money. This is too fussy.

Searched. My Xiaoxun said that anything that can be solved with money is nothing. This Prince Kang’s Mansion is really not grand!"

Li Xingjian:......

Li Xingjian glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile: "Are you feeling uncomfortable because you didn't have a chance to pluck out the wool in Prince Kang's Mansion this time? Very unhappy? It's a pity?"

Brother Monkey thought to himself, it's a pity that I feel unhappy and uncomfortable, but I can't tell you.

This uncle really likes to use himself to save others!

Although the degree is quite right, it is impossible for me to admit it.

Brother Monkey hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm not the kind of person who loves money!"

Li Xingjian: "...Haha."

He didn't bother to talk to this guy about all these things. As the top administrator of a county, he was busy. He just waved Brother Monkey to follow him into the house. After waiting for everyone to sit down, he went straight to the topic: "Think about the hilltop you want to buy."

Is it a wasteland? Come and let me hear it."

Brother Monkey neatly took out the picture he and Xiao Xun drew from his arms, unfolded it, brought it to Li Xingjian, pointed to the area circled on the drawing: "Just buy these nine hills and this area near Yanjia Village.

wasteland."

There is actually not much wasteland. According to the two outermost mountains he wants to buy, it is about four to five hundred acres.

Those mountains are not close to the river embankment national highway, and Yanjia Village has to go further in. In addition, it is just outside the Dongze Forest, and the development value is not great. There are very few people who are free to buy this mountain forest and wasteland.

, that is, the Yan family lived nearby, so they paid for it.

Li Xingjian looked at it and knew the approximate location, so he gave a quotation: "The wasteland is originally worthless. If it is opened up, it will naturally become your family in five years. But you want the land title now, so I can only pay the worst price."

I'll give you the price of the cultivated land, two taels of silver per acre. This land is probably less than 500 acres. You give your uncle and I will round up the whole number and calculate it as one thousand taels. This can be considered as your family's contribution to our Linjiang people.

As for these nine hilltops, there are 2,000 taels each, totaling 18,000 taels, plus the one thousand taels in the wasteland, which makes nineteen thousand taels. If you pay the money now, I will have someone get the red land deed for you right away.

, you can get it in a moment, how about it?"

Brother Monkey hummed in his heart, he was still Uncle Shi, he didn't care about any human relations, and he didn't know how to give any discounts.

The fruit snacks brought here today are really useless. I knew I would come empty-handed.

But he brought all the banknotes at home, and he could afford it anyway, so he said with a fake smile: "Then we'll do it right away."

After speaking, he took out the banknotes from his arms, shook them, and pointed to several boxes of snacks on the table: "My mother asked me to bring those to my aunt and my younger brother. They are only suitable for women and young children."

The implication is, if it’s not your share, don’t eat it.

Li Xingjian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he nodded, chuckled, got up and went to the Finance Office.

Pay the money first and let this kid have some pain for a while.

In fact, he really didn't charge too much. The price of the wasteland was not low, but for those nine mountains, he really didn't charge too much.

Although no one usually buys these mountains, it does not mean that they are not valuable. It is just that for ordinary people, there is no market for them.
Chapter completed!
