There was a loud noise outside, which prompted Xu Zijun, who was busy in the kitchen, to run out quickly to see what was happening. However, she saw a group of people crowded at the door of Xiaoshan's house, pushing and shoving each other, and finally Xiaowu was pushed out.
Xiaowu is still injured.
But at this time, his complexion was very good and his face was full of smiles.
"Aunt, you don't have to cook tonight. The village wants to invite guests to attend the banquet later today. We sincerely welcome the arrival of these guests..."
Xu Zijun didn't know about the Banquet of a Hundred Families, but Wang Ju did. She was so surprised when she heard this that she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She quickly went to tell Zhang Fan that she hoped they could attend the Banquet of a Hundred Families.
"Our Hundred Family Banquet is the most grand banquet in the village. It is held on the first day of the first lunar month every year. Yours is the first time that our village has held a Hundred Family Banquet to welcome distinguished guests. It's very fun. You must participate..."
Wang Ju was very much looking forward to Zhang Fan and his friends' participation, and her son hadn't attended a banquet for more than ten years.
"Our banquet for hundreds of families starts with singing and dancing after noon, and then in the evening, each family will serve four dishes, which will be placed on the table in turn and spread out on the grass. Everyone can eat and drink as much as they want..."
"With so many people, dancing is especially lively, so you are welcome to join us..."
Zhang Fan originally planned to stay here for a while, observe the changes in the Source of Huayueyingmu, and then have someone come here to finalize the contract, and then he could go back.
Since you have nothing to do anyway, you might as well go to some banquet.
When everyone saw that Zhang Fan agreed, they all left with a smile, but Xiao Wu was reluctant to leave and secretly asked Zhang Fan.
"Mr. Zhang, we still have a lot of mountain land here. Are you willing to buy some more? I went back today and told the people around me. They were all very happy. They all thought it would be great if they could sell you a piece of mountain forest..."
Every household here has forests, but there are very few people willing to buy their forests. In all these years, I have never met anyone willing to buy.
Tens of thousands of dollars is really not a small amount for them.
That was an opportunity that was enough to change their family.
No one wanted to give up, but they didn't know Zhang Fan. Plus, they heard that Mr. Zhang had already bought a lot of forests, so they were worried and thought that Mr. Zhang definitely didn't need those forests anymore.
They were trying every possible means to give those mountains and forests to them.
When Xiao Wu said this, he secretly looked at Zhang Fan's expression, his face blushing and his heart extremely uneasy. They were a bit shameless, trying to force some forests on Mr. Zhang.
This is treating Mr. Zhang as a sucker, but they really need the money.
At this moment, he knelt down and begged Mr. Zhang, hoping that he would have pity on these ordinary people and buy back some of the forests.
"Oh, let's talk about it later. I will attend the banquet on time this afternoon. You can go and get busy first..."
Zhang Fan smiled but didn't look happy, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
This amount of money for purchasing the mountain is too cheap for him. If he builds some airports nearby, this place will be revitalized. With such beautiful environment and air, it will be the best resort!
Leave a big house in the Wild Wolf Valley, surround the valley and the mountain, and then build some villas around it. With a little publicity, people will soon know about this place.
By then, the prices of the mountains, forests and land here will be terrifying figures.
It might be wealth that the villagers would never dare to imagine in their entire lives, but they don’t know that the mountain land that is forced upon them and begged to be sold is actually very valuable.
Unfortunately, these people could not realize that at this moment they were probably still trying every possible means to sell more mountain land to themselves.
When Xiaowu returned home, quite a few people had already gathered at home. They were all his relatives. When they saw him coming back, they all rushed up to him and surrounded Xiaowu to ask questions.
"What did Mr. Zhang say? Is he angry? Is he willing to buy our mountain land again? Any price is fine, as long as he is willing..."
"Yes, Xiaowu, you are the only relative here who can talk to Mr. Zhang. You have to say a few good words to us and find a way to help sell those mountains. Your cousin is still waiting for the money to marry a wife!"
"Will Mr. Zhang agree to attend the banquet? I plan to serve him a few dishes and ask him to help me. I also want to show my face in front of Mr. Zhang!"
"I plan to invite Mr. Zhang to dance with my family at the banquet for hundreds of families. I hope it will be of some use. It would be great if my family could also sell a mountain forest..."
…
All kinds of speculations and worries made these people think about how to please Mr. Zhang and how to show their face in front of him so that their family can sell a piece of mountain land and improve their family's living conditions.
That’s a huge sum of money!
Who among them doesn't want this huge sum of money? Xiaoshan is quite capable. Just by staying in a big city, he can meet such capable friends. I'm really envious!
It seems that I still need to urge my children to read more.
Wang Ju and Xu Zijun were busy in the kitchen, and soon a table of dishes was served. In the middle was a large plate of bamboo shoots and bacon, and a ham and boiled potatoes.
Those potatoes were dug by Wang Ju directly from the field behind the house. Each one was the size of a ping-pong ball and very fresh.
The ham here is not only pickled, but also specially put on the fire and smoked with a kind of cypress. The taste of the ham is very unique, with a unique aroma of bacon.
Take a bite of potato, a piece of ham and drink a sip of soup, and you will feel a completely different feeling.
"The bacon here is made from pigs I raised for two years last year. I smoked them with cypress trees. Xiaoshan, you haven't eaten bacon from your hometown for many years. Try it. Mr. Zhang, you should also try our local bacon. It's delicious..."
Wang Ju called out to them enthusiastically. In addition to the bacon she had prepared, there were also wild vegetables that could be found everywhere in the mountains. Plates of wild vegetables and even tree roots were brought to the table.
Zhang Fan listened to Wang Ju's explanation and picked up some vegetables from time to time. The wild vegetables here all had a unique taste.
Zhang Fan ate with gusto, and from time to time he asked Wang Ju how to cook that dish or that dish.
Even when he encountered a dish he didn't know, he would eat a few more bites. He had no psychological burden at all and didn't have any dietary restrictions. This made Wang Ju very happy, and she thought it was no wonder that her son liked Mr. Zhang so much.
Mr. Zhang has a really good temper. How can he be so approachable even though he is so powerful?
This is really a blessing for their small mountain village. In the afternoon, I must take Mr. Zhang to attend the banquet of a hundred families and protect him from being snatched away by others...
