Lin Shucheng then asked from outside, "Young Master Ji, would you like barbecue or hot pot for lunch?"

Ji Zixuan's eyes lit up immediately: "What's hot pot? Let's eat hot pot!"

Lin Shucheng smiled and said, "With so many people here today, hot pot is the perfect choice. Does anyone have any dietary restrictions?"

Ji Zixuan: "Uncle, please cook whatever you like. They'll eat anything."

Yun Chengyan, who was about to recite a long list of foods to avoid: ...

Ji Zixuan couldn't wait to discuss the construction of the house with Lin Jinyue.

Lin Jinyue looked at the blueprints he handed her. It was a rather nice courtyard house, complete with pavilions and towers, and it occupied a large area.

Lin Jinyue nodded: "Okay, but the price of this land will be a bit higher than in other places. This piece of land will be more expensive."

Lin Jinyue also showed them the map she had prepared over the past few days.

The drawing is simple and clear.

The mountain land is the cheapest, at ten taels of silver per mu. The arable land that Ji Zixuan chose is fifty taels per mu. The flat land on the other side of the river, which is a bit far from their village, is twenty taels per mu.

The price of land in the residential area near their village is 15 taels per mu.

Even in very remote forests, the price is ten taels of silver per mu, but there might be wild beasts roaming there.

Lin Jinyue explained, "Young Master Ji, the place you've chosen is more suitable for farming, but we're short of it here... so it's more expensive. I think the land across the river is more suitable."

Ji Zixuan said that the house alone occupied five acres of land, and he also wanted to dig a lake in it.

A row of ornamental trees also needs to be planted outside the yard, which will take up ten acres of land.

This is such a prime location, let's build a house there.

Ji Zixuan said directly, "I want this place."

Lin Jinyue:......

Okay, he's rich.

Lin Jinyue added, "If this house isn't a place you live in often, it might not need to be so big. If every courtyard needs a toilet and a bathroom, the construction cost would be extremely high."

Ji Zixuan: "It's alright, I have a large family and plenty of money."

Yun Chengyan added from the side, "Fine, I'll just use your yard from now on."

He turned back and said to Lin Jinyue with a smile, "Young Master Ji has really gone all out this time, preparing ten thousand taels of silver."

Lin Jinyue couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Wow, what a tycoon! He just threw away ten thousand taels of silver.

Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "This is a discounted price now. As more people come, or as our infrastructure is built up, the price will be different."

Yun Chengyan then reserved a spot not far from Ji Zixuan's place.

Lin Jinyue was adding details in the study when, just then, the hot pot outside was ready, and Lin Shucheng invited them to eat out.

There's a large turntable on the table, specially for entertaining guests, so you can sit around and not worry about not being able to reach the food.

The hot pot is a divided pot, so both spicy and non-spicy eaters can enjoy themselves to the fullest.

But who knew that when they were preparing to go back in the afternoon, dark clouds filled the sky and a strong wind began to blow.

Lin Shucheng then said, "Going back now is definitely not safe. Why don't we stay here for the night?"

The others had no objections.

Ji Zixuan was also very good at handling things: "Uncle, what are we having for dinner tonight? I'll help. Chengyan, go and buy a sheep."

Lin Shucheng chuckled, "You've already prepared the sheep, so how about a lamb barbecue?"

Lin Jinyue locked the door and went straight to the farm to draw blueprints, completely unaware of the changing weather outside.

When she came out, those people were having a barbecue on the third-floor terrace.

It was raining and windy outside, but there was a canopy on the terrace, so it didn't affect their barbecue.

These guys really know how to have fun.

When Lin Jinyue arrived, Lin Shucheng handed her a few skewers of lamb.

Ji Zixuan and Yun Chengyan came over.

Yun Chengyan also asked, "Will there be barbecue stalls here in the future?"

Lin Jinyue thought for a moment, "If business is good, I think we will. We can also make hot pot, or open a shop. You can tell us what you want to eat two days in advance."

Their eyes lit up.

Ji Zixuan: "What about the crayfish from last time?"

Lin Jinyue: "That works... but crayfish are hard to find."

Ji Zixuan patted his chest and said, "I'll have someone look for it tomorrow, and I'm sure I can find it."

Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "That's good. It will be better next year. Our village will start raising livestock ourselves, and there will be more next year."

They chatted casually.

Looking at the weather outside, Lin Jinyue felt inexplicably down.

She doesn't really like rainy days.

After the barbecue, Lin Jinyue arranged for the group of young masters to go to sleep. There were nine of them in total, three people per room. Fortunately, there were enough guest rooms available.

The servants they brought could only squeeze in wherever they could.

Each room where the young masters lived had its own bathroom and toilet. Lin Jinyue had considered that people of good status might come to stay there.

To make matters worse, each room was equipped with a bathroom and toilet.

The bathroom has a large bathtub and a shower.

The only trouble is that someone needs to boil the water.

However, these young masters all brought servants with them, and there was a well behind the courtyard. To prevent rain from falling, Lin Jinyue arranged a place to shelter from the rain on it.

Water is also readily available.

These young masters all acted like they'd never seen the world before.

As Lin Jinyue passed by their room, she could still hear a chorus of frogs.

"Wow, hot water is flowing out right out of here? It's just like a hot spring."

"This toilet looks pretty convenient, but what's going on? This button is so powerful, it makes water come out as soon as you press it?"

"Wait a minute, why is this mirror different from ordinary mirrors? It's too clear!"
