At the foot of Dafeng Mountain is a small village with only about a hundred families.After Xiao Yun and Wu Xia got off the carriage, the village chief had already waited respectfully at the entrance of the village, and led all the villagers to salute Xiao Yun and Wu Xia.

Wu Xia asked A Jia to share the candy bought in the last town among everyone.The village head took Xiao Yun and Wu Xia to the most luxurious house in the village.

Although it is the most luxurious house in the village, it is nothing more than a big yard. The house is built with bluestone bricks, and there is a stable in the yard. "Master Xiao, Master Wu, I heard that you were coming, so I asked someone to tidy up the yard, take out the bedding and bask in the sun, and now you can go in and rest."

"I'm sorry to trouble the village chief," Wu Xia said politely.

"It's just that the road up the mountain has to be cleaned for another day tomorrow. The village in the mountain will not be populated for a long time, so we have to go forward to ventilate and clean it." The village chief said.

"Then the village chief will worry about it. If you can use the people I brought, you can use them. You are welcome. Go home and tell everyone that I will invite everyone to dinner tomorrow night." Wu Xia said with a smile.

"That's a good relationship. Except for the New Year, everyone is looking forward to your invitation to this meal." The village chief said with a smile, "I won't disturb the rest of the two masters, I will go first."

"Go slowly, Xiao Yizi, and take the village chief out," Wu Xia said.

After the person had left, Wu Xia let go of her airs and poured a cup of tea on her own. The cow drank it now and said, "Finally, my feet are on the ground. Those who ride in a carriage have sore bones."

Xiao Yun stood behind him and squeezed his shoulders, "Is there something that someone didn't explain to me?"

"Who?" Wu Xia was puzzled, "What didn't you explain?"

"For example, this village? For example, the village chief's attitude towards you?" Xiao Yun reminded.

"Oh, this." Wu Xia said, "This village has been at the foot of Dafeng Mountain for generations. Because of the small population and poor land, successive county officials did not count it as a village. When I bought Dafeng Mountain, the county town The account books sold me the village and its people directly. I want to say that it is like raising a Zhuangzi."

What Wu Xia said was normal, Xiao Yun was dumbfounded as if he had been hit by something, "You should be a hot spring village, and you actually bought the entire mountain directly?"

"Anyway, it's cheap!" Wu Xia said innocently, "It doesn't cost a total of 1000 taels of silver."

Xiao Yun sat on the stool and put his hands on his chest, "Wait a minute, let me take a breather."

"Then how much did you pay for the hot spring village?" Xiao Yun asked.

"One thousand eight hundred taels." Wu Xia said.

Xiao Yun had an expression of being hit by an arrow, and Wu Xia saw that something was wrong with him, so he quickly asked him what was wrong.Xiao Yun showed a pale smile to Wu Xia, "I think, I can no longer rest with peace of mind, and I must find a way to make money after I go back."

"What's wrong?" Wu Xia asked.

"Miss, you spend too much money, my husband can't resist it." Xiao Yun said.

Wu Xia said unconvinced, "That's because you didn't see Zhuangzi. If you saw Zhuangzi, you would think, how could 800 taels have this effect, and then you would feel that the money was worth it."

"No matter what it's worth, it's a waste to be in such a poor country and thousands of miles away from home," Xiao Yun said.

"So, we have to come here a few more times in the future so we don't feel like we're losing money?" Wu Xia said with blinking eyes.

"Beautiful thinking." Xiao Yun smiled, "The little brain is still moving very fast."

Wu Xia threw herself into Xiao Yun's arms and hit her head. "Okay, okay, I'm not tired, take a hot bath and have a good sleep." Xiao Yun said.

"You carry me." Wu Xia said.

Xiao Yun got up and put Wu Xia on his shoulders, "Let's go~~"

Wu Xia hit Xiao Yun's waist with his head down, "I hate it, I don't want this position."

The bath water is also hot spring water, with a faint sulfur smell, and it is still salty when it accidentally touches the lips.Take a good bath and sleep well, the days of the gods are nothing more than this.

Woke up early the next morning. When Xiao Yun opened his eyes, he felt that he slept very comfortably, and the fatigue on the journey seemed to have disappeared.Turning her head to look, Wu Xia was sleeping with her pillow in her arms, with half of her shoulders exposed.Xiao Yun got up lightly, covered Wu Xia with a quilt before going out.

Maybe it's a mountainous area, the air is a little bit colder than other places, Xiao Yun did a few stretching movements at random, and felt extremely happy, secretly thinking in his heart, it's a good place to retire.

The village is not big, but it was well planned, with many houses, rice paddies, traffic, and neat vegetable beds. White smoke was coming out of the village. Xiao Yun walked in and looked. Not too low, I saw many mothers-in-law and young daughters-in-law gathered around the pool, fetching water to freshen up, wash rice for cooking, Xiao Yun even saw someone using a bamboo net to cook eggs in the pool.

The women didn't hide when they saw Xiao Yun, and the daughters-in-law gathered together to chatter and laugh secretly at Xiao Yun from time to time.With a loving face, the mother-in-law moistened the veil with pool water and handed it to Xiao Yun, "My son, come and wash it."

Xiao Yun couldn't refuse, so he could only take the handkerchief and wipe his face and hands.The heat spread from his face to his heart, Xiao Yun felt that even the hometown slang that he didn't understand was very cute.

"Master—" Ah Jia ran from afar, "Master, why did you come out without saying a word, so that we can find it easily."

"Why, I'm afraid I won't get lost." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "Is Second Grandma up yet?"

"Not yet." Ah Jia said, "I heard from Sister Bishui that she woke up and asked where you were. When she knew you were walking around the village, she turned over and fell asleep again."

"Well, today you take Bingding and follow the village chief yesterday to see if you can help. If you want to use a carriage, just use it." Xiao Yun said.

Because Wu Xia said she wanted a treat, Xiuniang woke up early in the morning, went to ask the village chief's wife, and got in a carriage to go shopping in a nearby market.After coming back before noon, after cooking Wu Xia and Xiao Yun's Chinese food, Xiuniang rolled up her sleeves and prepared for the dinner.There are about one hundred households, and there are nearly three hundred people.

Fortunately, after eating Chinese food, the village head's mother-in-law brought a few quick-witted mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over to help. Xiuniang was very grateful.Because there are so many people, Xiu Niang doesn't care what is exquisite, and the affordable big stew is the right way.Vegetables are served in a tile-sized crock with sauerkraut and pork stew, fish head tofu, and fish body slices. Make a spicy fish fillet and cook with delicious radish on the bottom. The meat is good and the soup is good.Come to another table to steam a whole chicken, surrounded by two circles of bird eggs.Add a pot of fresh wild vegetables from the mountains, and cook a large pot of freshly ground soybean milk.

The staple food is rice. Considering children and women, Xiuniang also made deep-fried ones with sesame and bean fillings. After the fried one was divided into one, the children ran away happily.

When it was getting late, the men started the fire, set up the tables and chairs, and the old people took their bowls and chopsticks to sit with acquaintances. Xiao Yun had never seen such a gathering posture, although the airs could still hold up, But his eyes were wandering, Wu Xia only felt cute when he saw Xiao Yun like this, and generously took his hand to the ping.

Say hello to the people you meet, say hello to the old people, girls and daughters-in-law invite friends to choose a good place, and then use bowls and chopsticks to occupy the place.There were four or five different bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Why are they all different tableware?" Xiao Yun asked Wu Xia in a low voice.

"Because they all bring their own bowls and chopsticks." Wu Xia said, "There are too many people, so I can't prepare the bowls and chopsticks. The pots for the dishes are all collected after I raided the county before. The big families bought them back and kept them. Goldfish raise water lilies, I use them for vegetables."

"I said it's all blue and white." Xiao Yun said.

"Even if I find a large bowl for serving vegetables, do you think it will be decorated with golden festoons like the tableware at home? It would be nice to have blue and white flowers." Wu Xia muttered.

"Enter the table~~~" The village chief shouted angrily from a high place, and the tables and chairs on the ground immediately sat in disorder. The man came over with a wooden barrel, "Here comes the wine~~~~~"

Wu Xia whispered in Xiao Yun's ear, "This is homemade rice wine, it's not intoxicating. If someone else comes to toast, don't be intimidated."

Xiao Yun also wondered what was so cowardly about offering a toast, and waited until the village chief shouted in a full-fledged manner, "The banquet is open~~~~~" Xiao Yun had never eaten such a big pot dish before, and stretched out with great interest. Picking food with chopsticks, within two mouthfuls, someone came to toast, Xiao Yun drank politely, one, two, three, Xiao Yun felt something was wrong after drinking three cups in a row, he looked behind, shit, there was a long queue of people waiting in line Toast.

Xiao Yun's scalp was numb, he was a little scared.Wu Xia whispered in his ear, "They know you are my husband-in-law, and half of the wine in the toast is given to me. If you can't drink it, tell me and let me have a few drinks too."

Xiao Yun didn't dare to be cowardly, no man can't drink alcohol, and let his wife get on top of him.Isn't it just wine, I drink it.

Wu Xia was also afraid of getting drunk, so she signaled Ah Jia to wait at the end of the line, and don't let anyone come over with a wine glass.After finally drinking it, Xiao Yun's face turned pale. He was not drunk, but the amount was too much. Xiao Yun covered his stomach, wanting to drain the water.

Wu Xia understood the situation very well, and thoughtfully asked Xiao Yizi to help Xiao Yun go in, and Wu Xia ate all the toasts from the rest of the people.When Xiao Yun came to the table again, the long queue had disappeared. Wu Xia gave him a mouthful of fish soup, "Drink the soup first, and then eat some dry food."

Xiao Yun savored the fish soup carefully, "Then you drank all the toast?"

"There are not many of them. There is no one coming to pay respects later." Wu Xia said.After Xiao Yun relaxed and ate the food Wu Xia had picked for him, Wu Xia said again, "But you still have to go to the table to pay back later."

Xiao Yun's face was ashen.

A night banquet, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

The next day, when I went to Dafeng Mountain in a carriage, Xiao Yun was still lying there in a state of anger. Wu Xia pressed his forehead, "Not feeling well?"

"I feel uncomfortable." Xiao Yun said.

"Can you still feel uncomfortable after drinking?" Wu Xia said. "I also drank a lot yesterday."

"My heart has been traumatized." Xiao Yun said weakly.

"Are you Xiao Yun?" Wu Xia asked.

Xiao Yun closed his eyes, as if you hurt me and I didn't speak.

"My lord, you were so brave yesterday. You stood in front of me and stopped the toast after wave of toasts for me. I adore you so much, lord. You are my reliance and you are my god." Wu Xia squeezed her throat to flatter her explain.

"There is no sincerity at all." Xiao Yun said.

"The slave family, the slave family agrees with the body." Wu Xia continued to hold his voice.
