Chapter 22 This Peach Cake Is So Fragrant

"Grandpa, look, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I bought specially for you. Please try it. Does it taste good?"

Xue Zijin pretended not to see the old man's sullen face, happily took out an oil paper bag from his sleeve pocket, opened it, and then approached the old man with a smile.

"Huh! I don't want it. It's not bought just for me. It's not rare."

Wang Boliang pursed his lips and turned away, and the sparse white beard on his chin also swayed.

Good guy!

Whether it is an old man in ancient times or an old man in the 21st century.

Being jealous is a virtue.

Xue Zijin was also drunk.

Didn't she just tell Grandpa Yu that Tao Su was specially bought for Grandpa Yu?

This old man even got into trouble with her.

Lao Yu outside the door listened to the commotion in the room, smiling happily as he twirled the salty peach cake and put it into his mouth.

"Oh! This peach cake is so fragrant!"

Wang Boliang became even more angry when he heard the compliments coming from outside the door.

Xue Zijin touched his nose, quickly put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, went around behind the old man and massaged his back.

"Grandpa is busy with things. Jiaojiao will pat your shoulders and rub your back!"

She was an expert at this in her previous life. Grandpa and grandpa especially liked her giving them massages.

Every time the elderly people were really angry or pretending to be angry, as long as she showed her hand, she would make them docile.

really!

Xue Zijin had just finished massaging a set of fingering techniques, and Wang Boliang moved his shoulders comfortably.

"Girl, where did you learn this craft? My old bones have been rusty for many years, but this is the first time I'm so lively!"

"Haha, feel good!"

Xue Zijin clenched his hands into fists and began to pound the old man's back from the center outwards little by little.

"Yeah! Comfortable."

Wang Boliang asked slowly with half-squinted eyes contentedly: "Those two people... do you want to keep them?"

Well!

This topic changed too quickly!

Xue Zijin blinked and said calmly: "Yeah! I asked, they are from Lishi, Hexi County. Because they offended Liu Cong, the Wei family was destroyed, and only the two brothers and sisters escaped."

"Brother and sister?"

"Yeah! That Xiaojiu is a girl."

Feeling that the old man's breath had become serious, Xue Zijin continued: "But she disguised herself so well that even Uncle Yu didn't recognize her as a girl!

What’s more! Did I spend more than a dozen dollars to buy these two?

It would be a shame to let them go now, so I thought they were just slaves anyway and would not go out to show their faces.

Liu Cong is in Hexi County again, and he can't find us in Jinyang, so he plans to wait for his brothers and sisters to do some work for me and then drive him away."

After listening to the little girl Balabala talk a lot, the result was that she was reluctant to let her go.

"Okay! You can keep it if you want! Grandpa is the other one!"

There are only two servants on the left and right. Even if Liu Cong does come, the Wang family will not be afraid of the Liu family.

Wang Boliang smiled, picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake placed on the low table and put it in his mouth.

Well……

Sweet but not greasy, delicious.

"I heard from Daqiang that you bought more than 200 people and placed them in Nanshan to build houses. What are your plans?"

"This..."

Xue Zijin kept answering: "I plan to build a breeding farm on Nanshan Mountain. With such a big mountain, someone must help me look after it!"

Breeding farm?

Seeing the question mark on the old man's face, Xue Zijin explained: "The breeding farm is to raise animals such as chickens, ducks, cows and sheep. The land on Nanshan is wide and lush. It costs nothing to raise these animals. When the animals grow up, there will be many big animals."

It’s an income!”

When Wang Boliang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and joke: "Animals eat grass for free, but the two hundred people you bought can't also eat grass, right?"

"This is easy!"

Xue Zijin beat his back and said with a smile: "Don't I still have more than a hundred acres of land at the foot of Nanshan Mountain? I plan to let them help me take care of the crops. When the wheat is harvested, it will be enough for them to feed them for a year."

"Okay! It's up to you to do whatever you want!"

Wang Boliang picked up another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it into his mouth: "But for the food you need during this period, you can get it from home! Our family is not short of some Sanhe noodles and sweet potatoes."

"Yeah! Thank you, grandpa! When Jiaojiao makes money, I will honor you with all my capital and profits."

"Hahahahaha..."

Wang Boliang was amused and laughed loudly: "Then grandpa is just waiting for our delicate filial piety!"

Xue Zijin also told her about the book about forging farm tools.

When Wang Boliang heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Where is the book? Bring it to grandpa to see."

"Oops! I forgot to take it."

Xue Zijin slapped his forehead: "Grandpa, please wait, I will go back to get it!"

She ran back to Haitangxuan in a gust of wind, dug out the farm tool forging book in the package, and ran back in a hurry.



The next day.

It’s not until five o’clock.

The sky has not yet opened.

Two petite figures quickly shuttled through the fields.

"Look! The girl is here."

As soon as Zhao Cheng and others got up in confusion, they saw two figures getting closer and closer not far away.

After hearing this, Dingshan and Qiu Wu, a dozen or so people, also hurriedly climbed out of the temporary shed.

When Xue Zijin ran over with Hongxiu, he saw more than sixty young and middle-aged people all present.

"Very good! Does anyone know what we are going to do next?"

After everyone gathered in the open space where they practiced boxing yesterday morning, Xue Zijin asked, standing upright with his hands behind his back.

More than sixty young and middle-aged people looked at each other, and no one dared to answer casually.

Xue Zijin smiled when he saw this and said: "From now on, we will build houses together with everyone during the day, and we will receive training in the evening and morning."

Moreover, it is a devilish training.

"Girl...do you want us...to be your subordinates?"

Dingshan and Qiu Wu looked at each other, and both of them swallowed unconsciously.

The song is here!

That means going to the battlefield!

Hearing this, others immediately began to discuss in low voices.

Xue Zijin did not interrupt everyone's discussion, but just waited quietly for the voices to calm down before speaking: "That's right! I want to form a military team, and there is a high possibility of bloodshed and sacrifice in the future.

."

Her sharp eyes scanned the emotional changes on everyone's faces one by one.

"If you are scared, you can quit now. I will return the deeds of sale to you and your family. When the houses here are built, you can leave with your family."

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd became commotion again.

"Girl...you...are you really willing to let us go?"

"Yes! How could you lose a lot of money?"

Xue Zijin smiled and said: "What I want is someone who sincerely stays, and if you help me build the house, I won't lose much."

Everyone was silent for a while, but no one said they wanted to leave.

Are you leaving?

I do not go.

Then I won’t leave. If I go out, I can only be a tenant or a long-term laborer. I might as well stay and be a servant!

Dingshan and Qiu Wu were communicating with each other with their eyes, when someone pulled the sleeve on their right side.

"What's wrong? You want to leave?"

Dingshan looked at the boy pulling his sleeves and couldn't help but frown and asked in a low voice.
