After Huo Jinqian and the others came back, they also prepared to eat.
He went to Gao Zhijun's yard and wanted to explain to her, but Qinglong stopped him. He had to go back and explain to her tomorrow.
Baihu brought Baichen and the others back, holding pheasants and rabbits in their hands.
During this period of hunting in the deep mountains, they have killed all the ferocious beasts. Now there are only some small animals in the deep mountains, and they have not killed them all.
Gao Zhijun said that leaving these small animals for the villagers to catch themselves can occasionally improve their meals.
Qingshuang had already cooked the meal and prepared the dishes. After everyone came back, they started eating.
At Gao Zhijun's place, there was no rule that servants had to wait until their masters finished their meals before they could eat. Everyone sat together to eat.
There are two tables in total, one for men and one for women, this is to take into account the strict separation of men and women.
After dinner, Gao Zhijun gave her nephew a nice bath. She also took a bath herself and went to sleep with her sweet and soft nephew in her arms.
During this period of feeding, my nephew has grown a lot taller and has gained a lot of weight. He is chubby and very cute.
There were so many things to do during this period that Gao Zhijun's body was almost overwhelmed. As soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep in seconds.
Tonight, some people are destined to be too happy to sleep, while others are destined to be too sad to sleep.
Only those who are heartless and don't know what worries are will fall asleep.
Gao Zhijun slept soundly, and got up as soon as her biological clock rang.
The villagers of Huojia Village all got up and worked, no matter if they slept soundly or had not slept all night, they all had smiles on their faces.
Huo Qingchen and Huo Dashan led the villagers and the Huo brothers to butcher pigs, skin tigers and wolves, while the women were killing chickens and rabbits.
There are quite a lot of people at the banquet today, including the people who helped to open up the wasteland, the people who helped to build houses and workshops, and people from the government.
The chef in charge was hired by my aunt's restaurant, and also by my aunt herself.
For today's meal, you don't need to buy any meat except for the vegetables. Tigers, wolves, wild boars, pheasants, and rabbits were all hunted in the mountains. There's so much food that everyone can enjoy a feast today.
There are many wild animals in the deep mountains. All the animals hunted in the past three days were sold to restaurants, making a profit of several hundred taels.
Gao Zhijun had also dug up nearly all the precious herbs. Among them, she found two ginseng plants deep in the mountains, which made her smile from ear to ear. She also found Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, Cordyceps sinensis, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, Eucommia ulmoides, Astragalus membranaceus, Musk, and more. She also found saffron.
After today, she will start making some pills and sell them in the clinic.
After breakfast, she went out to check the ingredients.
The house-entering ceremony is held at the hour of Si. At this time, the whole village sets off firecrackers and waits for the village head to say a blessing. Then each household brings their family to pay homage and then enters their own home.
The banquet starts at noon, and when the guests arrive, everyone can start eating.
Soon it was already noon, and Huo Jinzhou took the young men to set up firecrackers and walked around Huojia Village. They lit them from both sides, and the sound of firecrackers "crackling" could be heard.
"Ah! Firecrackers are setting off, and we're living in a new home!"
The children in the village covered their ears, jumped and danced, and cheered loudly.
After setting off the firecrackers, the village head said many auspicious words, and then everyone followed him into the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
The ancestral tablets were packed up and brought here when they fled the famine, and are now placed in the Huo family ancestral hall.
The Zhang, Huang and Li families also have an ancestral hall.
The Sun family's ancestral hall was located in his yard.
Gao Zhijun's yard also has a small ancestral hall where the original owner's relatives are enshrined. This makes it convenient for the nephew to pay homage to his great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and parents in the future.
After paying respects to the ancestors, everyone returns to their own front door and brings their family members into the house according to their seniority.
Gao Zhijun brought her servants into her yard.
This yard will be left to my nephew in the future.
Entering the yard means that everyone will live a new life in the future.
As noon approached, guests began to arrive one after another. The first to arrive were of course the people who had come to help with the land reclamation. They all came to help on their own initiative.
The officials, the Grand Tutor, and the President of Shu Ren Academy all arrived on time.
Almost all the people in the government office were invited, even their families.
After the dean and his wife of Shu Ren Academy arrived, Huo Jinchuan and Huo Jinfeng took them to the Huo family's courtyard to greet them.
Qinglong and Moxue accompanied Gao Zhijun to the gate to welcome the prefect and officials from the government office.
Huo Jinqian was unable to spare the time to help as he had to pick up his tutor and a few close classmates.
The Sun family wanted to help, but when they thought that the other party was the prefect, they gave up the idea.
The prefect was such a high-ranking official, they were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak and their bodies were trembling, how could they dare to greet him? Don't let it happen that instead of helping your niece (cousin), you will do more harm than good and cause trouble for her.
Magistrate Zhang came with his family, followed by Mr. Qian, the lawyer, who also came with his family to Huojia Village.
After seeing the layout of Huojia Village, everyone was shocked.
The entire village was built with blue brick and tile houses, something that had never been seen before in Daliang. Furthermore, the village was surrounded by walls, making it impossible for anyone to enter, unless they were martial arts masters who could climb walls and fly over rooftops. Ordinary scoundrels couldn't get in.
Gao Zhijun brought Magistrate Zhang into the yard. Xiao Cui, Xiao Hong, and Xiao Xue brought him tea and then went outside to help.
Tian Tongzhi and Gao Zhubu also came with their families. Behind them came the officials of the government office with their families, and even the chief constables came with their families.
Many people showed greedy expressions, and they all wanted to take this place for themselves.
Unfortunately, they are under the protection of the prefect, so they dare not act rashly.
