She just glared at him and changed the subject: "Why hasn't the food come yet? I'm a little hungry."
"Right away, I'll go and urge them to cook." Duan Weiyi ran to the kitchen as if he was escaping and urging them to cook.
"Haha, Song Ziyan, be nicer to your cousin in the future. Look how scared you made him." Xiao Chen laughed.
"You don't know, he's completely lawless at home." Song Ziyan's mood turned from gloomy to cheerful: "I'm the only one who can control him. My aunt and uncle can't control him at all."
"The reason why he dares to be so lawless is that there must be someone in his family supporting him." Xiao Chen said.
"That's right. His grandparents back him up, so he can't be beaten or scolded." Song Ziyan said helplessly, "And it just so happens that he's planning to go live at an unfinished construction site with a bunch of friends."
"He still dares to go?" Lin Fang on the side was shocked: "With his physical condition, if he goes to a place with strong yin energy again, his illness will relapse, and it may be more serious than last time."
"Really? Then I have to persuade him well. If he dares to mess around again, I really won't let him off." Song Ziyan was stunned.
Soon, the food arrived.
Medicinal pig's trotters, stir-fried liver and kidney, coated tofu, steamed beef with rice flour, and the owner's homemade rice wine.
It is really fragrant, the pig's trotter flower is stewed until it is soft and melts in your mouth. It is also added with medicinal herbs such as angelica, jujube, and cored lotus seeds, which have the function of clearing heat and moisturizing dryness.
"Well, this pig's trotter is really delicious, and the kidney and liver are fried so tender." Song Ziyan is also a foodie.
And after getting to know Xiao Chen, they often ate at roadside stalls.
She felt that the dishes from these roadside stalls were very down-to-earth and were really different from what she would eat in a five-star hotel.
"Not bad, medicine and food have the same origin. The owner of this small restaurant is really good." Lin Fang also praised it highly.
"Lin Fang, I suddenly thought of an investment direction." Xiao Chen put down his chopsticks: "What you just said about the common origin of medicine and food reminds me of a complete collection of medicinal food that I saw from Master."
"You mean combining medicine with food, so we can treat illness while enjoying delicious food?" Lin Fang asked doubtfully, "Traditional Chinese Medicine has always had the concept of dietary therapy."
"Yes, but it is only circulated in a small range. What if we commercialize the diet therapy method, incorporate health care into catering, and promote the concept of medicine and food having the same origin?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Good idea, but I can't cook." Lin Fang spread his hands.
"It's okay. I know a friend who works in the catering industry. I'll ask him out to chat tomorrow." Xiao Chen thought.
"Okay, this is a good idea." Lin Fang gave a thumbs up.
"Xiao Chen, don't let your mind wander to business. You have a competition coming up." Song Ziyan warned him with some concern, "This physics competition is crucial to whether you can be admitted to the university."
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "By the way, our project is quite promising. Would you like to ask your family to invest in it?"
"My family is in the loan business. I'm afraid my dad won't consider cross-industry." Song Ziyan shook his head.
"Okay, then we have funding needs, so we have to rely on you." Xiao Chen said.
Song Ziyan drank rice wine and made an OK gesture to Xiao Chen.
The way she held her chin with one hand touched Xiao Chen's expression.
This made Xiao Chen think of the woman in black veil when he was lying in the cold morgue in his previous life.
Elegant and melancholy, she remained silent from beginning to end and calmly handled Xiao Chen's funeral arrangements.
But to this day, Xiao Chen still can't remember who that woman is.
Damn it, I remember everything clearly, except that person.
The next day, Xiaoli Village.
Zhang Ziang and Xiao Chen went here together and set up the collection department directly here.
There are a total of 106 households in Xiaoli Village. Because of the rumors of expropriation, every household rushed to build their own houses.
The rough materials and colored steel tiles made the house several hundred square meters larger.
Some people even converted the grain collection point into their own house, adding more than a thousand square meters of building space.
However, nearly ten years have passed, and the characters written in the village have become dilapidated.
The children of those young wives who married here because of the demolition are already in primary school, but there is still no intention of demolishing this place.
What’s more important is that the geographical location of this place is not good, and the land is saline-alkali land, making it impossible to cultivate it.
The village has experienced a significant population loss in recent years.
As soon as the village chief heard that Hongzhi Real Estate was coming to develop the property, he rushed over with a group of people from the village.
"Mr. Zhang, we've finally got you here." The village chief's eyes nearly filled with tears. "There are still 106 households in our village. I've brought the roster and property deeds."
"Village Chief Zhou, right?" Zhang Ziang sat down. "Because this project is urgent, I hope the formalities will be kept simple."
"I retrieved a government report from eight years ago and looked at the collection standards at the time. It was about 700,000 yuan per household, collected on a per square meter basis."
"But so much time has passed, and prices have gone up. I'll increase the tax by 40 percent based on the current tax rate. What do you think?"
"Forty percent won't do. It's too little, too little." Before the village chief could even finish his words, a shrewd-looking village accountant shook his head and said, "Your Hongzhi Group is a big company."
"The compensation for demolition should be higher than the local standard. Besides, our land is of high quality both in terms of its geographical location and the availability of cash crops."
"So, the demolition standard for each household starts at two million..."
Zhang Ziang and Xiao Chen couldn't help but look at each other. The lion opened his mouth wide.
"Village Chief Zhou." Zhang Ziang put down the contract in his hand and said, "To be honest, we have chosen more than one site to develop this resort."
“There is also a piece of land in the west district, which is farther from the city, but all we need to do is build another road.”
"If your village is coming to the negotiation with this attitude, then we might as well not talk about it at all. We will directly take the land from the West District, and you can continue to put it on hold."
"Xiao Chen, let's go."
Zhang Ziang said this, then stood up and left.
"Mr. Zhang, please don't." The village chief was dumbfounded.
I originally thought that after seven or eight years of hard work, Xiaoli Village would finally be developed, and it would be owned by a large group.
Hongzhi Real Estate has a good reputation in Jiangcheng. They have high standards, pay money quickly, and never procrastinate.
I originally wanted to raise the price a bit, but the young master didn't buy it.
"Leader, let's be frank," Zhang Ziang said. "The whole of Jiangcheng knows about your village's situation, right?"
“The direction of development is not in this direction, and there are no natural conditions.”
"We are taking a huge risk by investing money in this project."
"The standards we offer are also extremely superior. If you want to raise the price, then I'm sorry, the land will remain idle."
