After several more days of construction, the farm was finally completed, and the surrounding walls were also built. For safety, Zhao Xian built the walls to be high and large, which greatly pleased Li Guang.

Since the farm was basically completed, most of the craftsmen had left, leaving only a few craftsmen leveling the yard.

There were still some blue bricks left, so Li Guang planned to use them to pave a road in the courtyard so that he wouldn't step into the mud when walking in the courtyard on rainy days.

At this moment, a craftsman came over and told Li Guang.

“There is an abandoned mountain god temple at the foot of the mountain in front. It collapsed more than ten years ago. Some things in the temple were taken away long ago. There is a stone table and four stone stools there. You can move them into the courtyard to use them.”

Li Guang thought this was a good idea. He put a stone table and benches in the courtyard and planted a few big trees, which made the place feel different.

"Great, we'll go move it over right now." Li Guang said, and then prepared to get up.

"The stone table is too heavy. It would be best to use an oxcart to move it. We just need to lift the stone table and benches onto the oxcart and bring them back."

“Okay, then I’ll bring the oxcart over.”

“The oxcart is outside, so you don’t need to go. The stone table is too heavy, and your body can’t handle it. Let a few of us go; we’ll be back in half an hour.”

That's fine. Let a few craftsmen go. There are still some things to take care of at the farm, so we can't leave them for the time being.

"Alright, then I won't go. Thank you for your help, masters."

The craftsmen nodded, put down their work, and drove away pulling an oxcart.

Li Guang carried the scattered blue bricks outside the courtyard wall into the courtyard, and several soldiers came to help. Half an hour later, all the blue bricks outside were moved into the courtyard.

At this moment, several craftsmen brought back the stone table and stone benches. Li Guang went over and took a look, and immediately fell in love with them.

The stone table is quite old. It is round and carved from a single block of stone. The tabletop is flat, and the round table is decorated with carved patterns, giving it a very rustic feel.

"Look where we're going to put this stone table and stone bench. We'll set them up now and then lay blue bricks around them. The whole courtyard will look much better then."

The craftsman's suggestion was excellent, so Li Guang placed the stone table and bench in front of his room and planted trees next to it, so that the place would be under the shade of the trees. It would be very pleasant to sit here and read books.

"Let's put it in front of this room, and plant a few trees here later."

Following Li Guang's instructions, the craftsmen placed the stone table and stone benches in the designated locations.

The stone table and benches were quickly placed, and the craftsmen began to lay the blue bricks.

Around noon, Li Guang went back and brought over his lunch.

During this period, he ate lunch at the farm, while the craftsmen went home for lunch and then came back to work.

The two cooks in the house felt very sorry for this hardworking young man. After packing the food for Li Guang today, they also made sure he took a plate of braised wild boar meat.

Last time we hunted several wild boars. Most of the wild boar meat was air-dried, and a small portion was cured. Today's braised pork is made with the cured wild boar meat, and it tastes even better. This may be related to the fact that the wild boar meat was thoroughly marinated.

The stone table and benches in the courtyard had been set up. Li Guang sat down at the stone table and prepared to eat.

After a morning of hard work, Li Guang was indeed hungry. He couldn't wait to take the food out of the basket, open the lid, and the aroma of braised wild boar quickly filled the courtyard.

Li Guang picked up his chopsticks, preparing to eat a piece of braised pork, when suddenly he saw a person standing at the door. He looked up and was stunned.

An old Taoist priest stood at the entrance of the courtyard. He was thin and tall, and his age must have been quite high, at least over eighty.

The old Taoist priest looked very tired, but his mental state was still good, and his eyes were sharp.

Seeing the old Taoist staring at him, Li Guang stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"May I ask, sir, what brings you here?"

The old Taoist priest didn't answer; his eyes were fixed on the plate of braised pork. Judging from his appearance, he must have been starving.

"If you haven't eaten yet, please come and have a meal," Li Guang said.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, young man. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he walked straight to the stone table.

He sat down at the stone table, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat the braised pork.

It seemed this old Taoist priest really didn't consider himself an outsider. Li Guang didn't argue with him and sat down opposite him, watching the old Taoist priest wolf down his food.

After eating a few pieces of braised pork, the old Taoist took off the wine gourd hanging from his waist, shook it a few times, and found that there was nothing inside. He could only smell it with his nose, and then picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.

It seems this old Taoist priest enjoys drinking, but his gourd is already empty. It's a real pity to have such a good snack to go with the wine but no wine.

After quickly eating most of the braised pork, the old Taoist priest finally came to his senses and looked up at Li Guang.

"Young man, why aren't you eating? If you don't eat soon, I'll finish all this wild boar meat."

The old Taoist priest was quite skilled; he immediately recognized it as wild boar meat, which suggests he had eaten quite a bit of it before.

Li Guang was a little helpless. Looking at the old Taoist priest's appearance, he hadn't eaten for at least half a year. Who would dare to take his food?

"I'm not hungry, you eat this bowl of rice," Li Guang said, pushing the bowl of rice and dishes towards the old Taoist priest.

"Thank you very much, young man. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he picked up his rice bowl.

There were quite a few good dishes in the bowl of rice, and the old Taoist continued to wolf it down, finishing the bowl in the blink of an eye.

By this time, not a single piece of braised wild boar meat was left.

The old Taoist priest finally finished eating, and with something in his stomach, he felt much more energetic.

"Is Master Dao full? If not, I'll bring you some more."

"No need, I've already eaten enough. Thank you, young brother. Actually, you're hungry too, yet you're giving me your food, preferring to go hungry yourself."

"You're too kind, Daoist Master. Actually, I'm not that hungry. You need this meal more than I do," Li Guang said with a smile.

"Young brother, with such a broad mind, you will surely achieve great things in the future. I still need to visit an old friend of many years, and I will pass through here again in a few days, so I will come to bother you again."

"Then I will wait here for you, Daoist Master. Please tell me the specific date so I can prepare some wine and food."

"There's still wine to drink!" The old Taoist's eyes lit up immediately.

"Your Excellency carries a wine gourd, so you must be a wine lover. I could tell just now that you wanted to drink, but there was no wine in the gourd."

"It's good to have wine. I will come over at noon on a certain day within five days and have a good drink with you, my little brother."
