Chapter 269 Disadvantages
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia never imagined that taking over the mountain land from Uncle Yunhai's family would actually attract several other families.
Zhang Juexia didn't even bother to think about the good things that were delivered to his door. He just waved his hand and said, "We'll take as many as we can."
Ye Beixiu spent only half a day at home and accomplished this important task.
As time was too tight, the formalities were handed over to Ye Jitong.
When Ye Beixiu was taking over Ye Yunhai's land, he didn't feel any pressure. But now that he had taken over so much land, he suddenly felt the pressure. "My wife, isn't this too abrupt?"
"Don't be abrupt, think about it, we have enough manpower.
The people who gave us the land had no experience in farming, but they were strong and capable of doing things."
"That's what happened."
Zhang Juexia smiled brilliantly, "Husband, do you know? It's as if this huge mountain in front of us has become our family."
"How could that be? The village head hasn't sold it to us yet. And the whole tracts of forest over there aren't ours either."
"Don't worry, I think it won't be long before the village head will think about selling the land to us."
"Grandpa Lizheng thinks long-term, so that shouldn't happen!"
"Would you like to bet?"
Ye Beixiu shook his head, "Let's just forget it!"
There was a knock on the door outside. Ye Beixiu said to Zhang Juexia, "It should be Uncle Yunhai, Eryong, and Wanfeng."
"Did you call them?"
"Well, I'm afraid I won't have any free time these days. I need to arrange things at home in advance. Do you want to listen?"
"Forget it, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
"Well, I'll go then."
Ye Beixiu arranged the affairs at home and drove back to the city early the next morning.
Yang Daniu was left behind and would return to the city after Ren Tianxing's legs and feet got better.
After returning to the county town, Ye Beixiu devoted himself to preparing for the martial arts imperial examination.
At Li Yingyue's invitation, Zhang Juexia attended several banquets, and gradually she got to know several prominent figures in Shunhe County.
After a while, the eggs at home were also sold.
Now Liu Wanfeng was convinced.
There were more and more mountains at home, so Zhang Juexia asked him to teach the people they brought back that day well, and after they were familiar with the land, they could prepare to raise some chickens.
Liu Wanfeng was anxious at that time. He felt that it was difficult for people to get food nowadays, and it was not easy for him to raise these chickens by taking advantage of the mountains.
But gradually, as more chickens were raised, they laid more eggs.
After all, the people in the town have limited abilities. It would be a shame if so many eggs could not be sold.
And those roosters that don't lay eggs grow bigger and eat more.
In short, he was dissatisfied with everything and advised Ye Beixiu not to just listen to Zhang Juexia, but to use his own brain as well.
Zhang Juexia didn't seem unhappy when he heard what he said. He just smiled and said, "Eggs are such a good thing, how can we not sell them? Don't worry, I guarantee that not a single egg will be left. I will exchange them all for silver."
"What about these roosters?"
"I have my own way."
Zhang Juexia made up his mind to sell the eggs.
When Li Yingyue invited her to the banquet, she immediately accepted.
She deliberately approached the wives of the families at the banquet, and after gradually becoming familiar with them, she was able to sell her own eggs with her eloquent tongue.
Several wealthy families in Shunhe County followed suit and were proud that they could afford to eat Zhang Juexia's pheasant eggs.
For this purpose, Qin Eryong made a special trip to the county town to discuss with Zhang Juexia and buy another horse-drawn carriage specifically for delivering eggs.
Of course Zhang Juexia agreed.
"Does Liu Wanfeng have any complaints?"
Qin Eryong grinned, "Sister-in-law, you have made him obedient this time. Now he is looking for a place to raise chickens on another hill!
And the sheep you wanted to raise have also been raised.
In short, the mountain in our Yejia Village is no longer the same mountain it once was."
Zhang Juexia smiled, "Eryong, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've also learned to be pedantic."
"No, sister-in-law. I'm telling the truth. You don't know how easy it is for young men in our village to get married nowadays.
As soon as people from outside heard that she was from our Yejia Village, they all rushed to marry her.
Young men nowadays are really lucky. Brother Beixiu and I both spent a lot of money on betrothal gifts to get married back then.
Nowadays, they don’t even ask for dowry and are eager to get married.
Even more outrageous is that some young men are even rushing to come to our Yejia Village to become sons-in-law."
Zhang Juexia was also happy to hear this, "That's indeed a good thing. However, we have to keep a low profile."
These days are just the beginning, and things will only get better.”
Qin Eryong couldn't believe what Zhang Juexia said. How much better could it be? However, he still nodded seriously.
"When I get back, I'll talk to the village head and ask him to mention this to everyone more often.
Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, the village head has asked me many times, when will you and Bei Xiu go home? "
"When it's time to go home, I'll go home naturally."
Zhang Juexia's words were equivalent to saying nothing, but Qin Eryong still nodded seriously.
"By the way, Eryong, did you bring the little rooster I asked you to bring?"
"I brought it. Sister Yang has asked Taohua to bring it to the kitchen."
"Okay, don't rush back at noon today. Come back after you eat."
Qin Eryong responded and went to the shop in front to help Li Le.
Zhang Juexia went to the kitchen.
Li Yun had already had the chicken killed and marinated according to the method Zhang Juexia taught him yesterday.
She went up to Zhang Juexia when she saw her, "Madam, please teach me how to cook the chicken underneath! I'll do it."
Zhang Juexia started talking and giving instructions from time to time. Li Yun started moving his hands according to what Zhang Juexia said.
Soon the fragrant fried chicken came out of the pan.
Zhang Juexia picked up a piece and tasted it first. "Delicious, really delicious."
At Zhang Juexia's suggestion, Li Yun also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, "Madam, this... is so delicious!"
"Please help me pack some in the food box and have someone send some to Master Song. Let's share the rest!"
Li Yun was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
After lunch, Zhang Juexia asked everyone in the family who had eaten fried chicken to tell him about its shortcomings.
It’s so exciting to eat them one by one.
This made them talk and they all shut up.
Under Zhang Juexia's repeated questioning, Li Le stammered, "Boss, if you ask me, the only downside to this fried chicken is that it's too delicious."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Qin Eryong nodded in agreement, "What Shopkeeper Li said is what I want to say as well.
Sister-in-law, do you still have this fried chicken? I want to take some back home for my wife to try.
"Eryong, you're going too far! You're eating and taking things at the same time."
