Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Prime Minister An became famous for solving the Niu Shangpo problem and is about to take over the position of the current county magistrate after his promotion, so he has a very good impression of the Zhang family.

He laughed heartily. "It's a small matter. I'll immediately ask Captain Lin to accompany Boss Zhang to measure the land on site."

Zhang Laoer was quite surprised by Lord An's straightforward attitude. He bowed like the ancients and expressed his respect: "Lord An is really a good official who cares about the people and works for their benefit!"

Although he knew that these words contained compliments, Lord An still felt sincerely gratified after hearing them, and his favorable impression of the Zhang family grew even stronger.

"Li Si, take Boss Zhang to Niu Shangpo to measure the land they need and see how much they want. Well, just give them the price of wasteland, three taels of silver per mu."

Lord An's words made Li Si understand how much his superior valued the Zhang family. He immediately led the Zhang family to Niu Shangpo with a more enthusiastic attitude.

……

Stepping into the crossroads again, Zhang Laoer parked the carriage on the side of the road. Captain Lin followed closely behind on horseback and skillfully tied the horse next to a big tree.

Xiao Youniang and Zhang Wuya curiously observed the carriages and pedestrians passing by. After some family discussion, they decided to take the open flat land on the right and the nearby grove.

After some negotiation between Zhang Lao Er and Captain Lin, the two began to measure the land. "Boss Zhang, this piece of land is 32 acres in total. Let's calculate it as 30 acres!"

This small discount made Grandpa Zhang nod with satisfaction.

Afterwards, the group returned to the county government to go through the procedures for purchasing the land.

Although they did not carry their household registration, they had a travel permit with them. Lord An was extremely efficient and quickly drew up the deed and stamped it with the official seal.

Lord An's vigorous and decisive style of work was greatly appreciated by Zhang Laoer, who was also decisive in his actions.

He took out a silver note of 100 taels from his pocket and handed it to Lord An, saying with a smile: "I will treat you to tea with the extra 10 taels as a token of my gratitude."

After leaving the county government office, Zhang Laoer carefully put away the deed. "Time flies, and a morning has passed just like that. Why don't we go to a nearby restaurant for a meal and check out the layout of the restaurant here?"

……

They returned to the restaurant where they had stayed the night before. After listening to the waiter's detailed introduction to the menu, each person ordered a few dishes according to their preferences, and then began to carefully look around the interior of the restaurant.

There is nothing special about this restaurant. Its structure and layout are roughly the same as Jixiang Restaurant, making it look ordinary.

As the dishes were served one by one, Grandpa Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It was originally just a simple trip to burn incense and pray for blessings, but I didn't expect to experience a series of changes. Especially when the second child accidentally took psychedelic drugs, I was really worried about the fate of our family at that time."

Zhang Mingyi gently picked up a piece of braised pork for Grandpa Zhang and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry. Our Zhang family is blessed by God, and everything will be fine."

Zhang Wuya continued, "We are people who have experienced hardships, and good fortune will naturally follow. If it were not so, how could we have the vision to choose the precious land of Niu Shangpo!"

Xiao Youniang opened her arms excitedly and gestured exaggeratedly, "When our restaurant is built, money will come in like water. When the time comes, I will hire a group of young and strong servants and servants for Grandpa, and let them surround him and take care of his life in every detail."

Grandpa Zhang was so amused that he laughed out loud, "Then when an old man like me goes out, people will think I'm the leader of a wealthy family!"

As he laughed, he stroked his gray beard proudly.

Xu Liyun looked at the laughter of the family in front of her, her heart was filled with warmth, and the smile on her lips became even brighter.

After a satisfying meal, Xu Liyun suddenly remembered the family's financial situation. She turned her gaze to Xiao Youniang and gently reminded her, "Oh, by the way, we don't have much money on hand. Buying the land in Niu Shangpo is already the limit. As for building a restaurant, why not hold off for a while and make plans when our financial conditions improve."

The little girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, with a cunning light in her eyes, and gently responded to her mother's exhortation.

"I know, mother. You are right. These thirty acres of land are equivalent to forty standard basketball courts. I have to think carefully about whether we should add some specialty shops, such as teahouses, cloth shops or medicine shops, in addition to running our restaurant. This will not only enrich the life of the village, but also attract passing merchants. I think I need to sit down with my sister and Zicheng and discuss this matter carefully."

Xu Liyun smiled when she heard this, but her eyes were full of love and helplessness. She pretended to blame, but her tone was full of doting: "Hey, you little brats, your heads are always thinking about these ideas of spending money like water. But then again, being able to think alike is also a rare tacit understanding."

Grandpa Zhang, the elder of the Zhang family, stood up slowly. His eyes revealed a kind of indifference and wisdom that came from having experienced the vicissitudes of life. He slowly suggested, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Why don't we go and pray in advance this afternoon? This way, we can return to our warm Wuli Village early and have a good rest."

……

Arriving at the intersection, the Zhang family members all looked to the right at the same time. At that moment, it seemed as if even the air froze, and they secretly sighed in their hearts: "Oh my, that vast expanse of land is the foundation of our Zhang family."

As they walked slowly deeper and along the path extending from the intersection, a magnificent scenery gradually unfolded before their eyes.

A long vermilion wall comes into view. Inside the wall, among the lush bamboo forest and towering ancient trees, a spire is faintly visible. That is the well-known "Hong Temple" in the local area. It is said to have a history of hundreds of years and is the most spiritual Taoist holy place within a hundred miles.

When you walk to the gate of the temple, the view in front of you suddenly opens up. You will see a spacious open space as flat as a whetstone. At the edge of the space stands a lifelike statue of a god. Although small, it exudes an indescribable solemnity and peace.

Zhang Laoer couldn't help but recall the scene of his last visit: after tying his own carriage securely aside, he always remembered to put some incense money in front of the statue, as a reward for guarding the carriage, which could be regarded as a respect for the gods.

Although it appears to be a pious offering, in reality it also has a bit of the meaning of paying for bus fare, which makes people laugh secretly in their hearts.

Xiao Youniang muttered quietly, with a hint of confusion between her brows: "You said that Hongsiguan is so good at business, why doesn't it just open a restaurant and make money directly?"

Although her voice was soft, it revealed the alertness and curiosity unique to a young girl.
