Volume 1: Settling down to live and work 70: Pastures in the mountains
Cheng Dongyu cooked a large table of sumptuous dishes, and Tian Liangchen reportedly helped a lot.
Xiao Lengyue called Li Yan again, and Zhou Dawei and Li Xun came over.
He had been in Chu Jitang for some time, and these people were all very kind to him.
Everyone gathered together, and there was constant laughter and laughter.
Cheng Dongyu suddenly felt that there seemed to be many more members in his family.
Li Xun was originally a little uneasy, as his status was not comparable to that of these proud men.
On weekdays, especially Zheng Zhong who came back from the combat team, he is an elite member.
This is the role he only dares to look up to on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhong personally raised his glass and gave him a glass of wine.
Thank him for taking care of Xiao Lengyue on weekdays.
Li Xun quickly stood up and responded, saying that he didn't dare to take it seriously.
Tian Liangchen and others also stood up and toasted to Zheng Zhong.
They also envied Xiao Lengyue's luck.
He actually got the favor of the most outstanding senior in the history of Chu Jitang.
Zheng Zhong responded one by one, thanking everyone for their help and care as Xiao Lengyue's master.
In the end, Zheng Zhong and Cheng Dongyu toasted three glasses to each other. From now on, everyone will be a family.
Lu Yao was eating and watching the play with relish, looking happy.
Zheng Zhong couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. Xiao Lengyue was right. He really liked to eat and watch the fun.
…
Early the next morning, Xiao Lengyue got up early.
He went to the kitchen to make a delicious breakfast before waking up Cheng Dongyu and Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was very satisfied. He still liked Xiao Maotou's cooking skills the most.
Cheng Dongyu touched Xiao Lengyue's soft hair. He was really a sensible and good boy.
When I was as old as him, I didn't understand anything, and I was always looking for mud to eat.
"Meow~~~ It seems like you are sensible now."
Lu Yao yawned and muttered to himself.
Xiao Lengyue pursed her lips and smiled.
"What did the elder brother say? Is it interesting?"
"whee."
Xiao Lengyue smiled but said nothing.
After breakfast, they chatted for a while, and the time was almost up.
Xiao Lengyue and Cheng Dongyu left Chujitang together and waited outside Chujitang for a short while. The boss from yesterday arrived in a carriage.
The boss looked at Xiao Lengyue curiously and thought the child looked very cute.
"Shopkeeper, he is my third brother, and he is now studying at Chujitang. He is not yet six years old. Originally, I was reluctant to let him leave home so early, but unfortunately his cultivation has reached the stage of becoming a god early, and there is nothing I can do about it.
That's not the case. Today he specifically asked for leave and wanted to accompany me to see the ranch."
Cheng Dongyu said proudly, showing his virtue as if he was waiting for others to exclaim and praise him.
The boss really did not disappoint him, he was extremely surprised and envious.
"Oh my! Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth! The young master is so young, I never imagined that he could be so great.
No respect, no respect, little old man, it is a great blessing for me to be lucky enough to meet a genius."
"Grandpa, you are overestimating me. I'm just a studious person. I really don't dare to be considered a genius."
"Oh my! It's amazing! You're smart and humble, and you will become a great person in the future!"
"Shopkeeper, you praised my third brother so much that he blushed."
"Haha, I'm telling the truth, little old man. Who made him so good?"
"Haha, what the store said makes sense."
Cheng Dongyu greatly satisfied his vanity.
Lu Yao flicked his tail in boredom, feeling that this was a large-scale scene to show off the excellence of his children.
Talking and laughing along the way, it didn't take long before we arrived at the ranch.
It turns out that this ranch is in a mountain next to Chuji Hall.
The mountain is very close to Chujitang in a straight line, but the road here is controlled and you need to take a few detours before you can turn into the mountain.
“This was originally a key development project back then, but because it was too close to Chu Jitang, I was afraid that it would affect the affairs of Chu Jitang, so it was abandoned in the end.
Many merchants have spent money, so they want to sell the land here at a low price. The ranch we are going to is one of them. It was bought by a large owner who wanted to build a summer resort here. Unfortunately, the scale of his groundbreaking was too large
, was eventually ordered to be banned.
Later, this place was converted into a ranch, which is not too big or too small. It is considered a medium-sized ranch. Most of the pastures are surrounded by open spaces. Even if the price is not expensive, few people are willing to try their luck here. The land is good.
It's a pity that there are too many rules, and ordinary merchants who need to welcome and deliver goods cannot start their business here.
Fortunately, you are just running a ranch, so you don’t need to care about the location, as long as the soil and water source are good.”
Xiao Lengyue nodded, the store owner was right.
Naturally, pasture does not need other social attributes. As long as the land is good and the water is good, it is a good pasture.
While they were talking, they had already entered the ranch.
Xiao Lengyue noticed that the defensive array on this ranch was of high quality.
Elder Bai said before that defensive formations are roughly divided into three levels.
The different colors at the center of the array represent three levels from low to high.
At the first level, the array eye will emit green light.
A defensive formation of this quality is the most basic type and often only has defensive functions but no offensive functions.
In the past, at the Leng Family Ranch in You County, the defensive array was of this level.
However, after Lu Yao quietly upgraded, the defensive array had already become the second level, but Xiao Lengyue never noticed it.
At the second level, the formation's eyes will emit blue light.
This is an upgraded defensive array with both defensive and attack functions.
It's just that this kind of defensive array still focuses on defense. As for the offensive ability, it's better than nothing.
At the third level, golden light will emit from the center of the array.
This kind of defensive formation is complete, capable of both offense and defense, and both its attack and defense power cannot be underestimated.
If you want to break through this kind of defensive formation, it will be very difficult for you unless you are a top formation mage.
The ranch in front of us is equipped with a third-level defensive array.
The space inside the ranch is indeed not too big, about one-third the size of You County Ranch.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
The planting area not only has several neat farmlands, but also greenhouses and irrigation facilities.
In the livestock area, there are closed livestock sheds and semi-open free-range areas.
The living area is clean and tidy, and there is a small yard with swings and banyan trees, and even an artificial river surrounding it.
What's even more striking is that there are two training rooms that cover a large area, and a martial arts arena with complete defense facilities.
The spirit gathering formation in the training room is also of the best quality.
Satisfied, Xiao Lengyue went to confirm the soil conditions, water sources and other invisible resources, and finally nodded happily.
"Grandpa, we want this ranch. Thank you grandpa for bringing us here to see it. However, it will still take some time for our property in our hometown to be converted into money and sent over. Do you think we can pay a deposit first?"
"Haha, no problem, just pay a deposit of 100,000 taels first. As for the price, I will have a good discussion with the owner. Anyway, he is eager to make a move."
"Thank you so much, grandpa, for taking the trouble. It's just a little thought, and I hope you won't mind it either."
Xiao Lengyue gave away specialties from You County and stuffed 100 taels of silver notes into the store.
When the store receives the benefit, it will naturally do its best to do the job.
They agreed to come over tomorrow to pay the deposit and discuss the price.
The store owner enthusiastically sent them back to Chujitang, and then returned to the Fifth Market.
After Xiao Lengyue visited Chu Jitang, she went to see Elder Bai again because he still needed to take a day off tomorrow.
After Elder Bai learned the whole story, he said with some embarrassment: "Actually, that ranch is my family's property. If you want to buy it, I can give you a 20% discount."
Chapter completed!
