Ji Zixuan's expression was not very good throughout the journey.
He was heartbroken over his bamboo pen, and wondered if he would have another chance to work with Lin Jinyue and the others with so many people around.
Yun Chengyan, the young master of the Yun family who was on good terms with him, went over to him.
Yun Chengyan was quite puzzled: "Are you being too ruthless in drawing the pen, or are you afraid we'll steal the spot you wanted?"
Ji Zixuan said irritably, "I'll get the panda pen sooner or later. I was afraid you guys would steal my spot, so I should have been the one to talk to the shopkeeper first."
Yun Chengyan chuckled: "It's just a house, right? No one will fight you for it."
The others couldn't help but laugh out loud as well.
"Hahaha, Young Master Ji, you should have said so earlier! We thought we had come at the wrong time."
"Hey, are you making a big deal out of this? It's just a village with some interesting things. I've been to Nanjing and the capital, what haven't I seen?"
"That's right, it can't be just one village."
Yun Chengyan smiled and said, "How about this, let's let Young Master Ji choose a place first. Anyway, we won't be staying here for more than a few days each month, so let's just pick a place randomly."
Ji Zixuan glanced at them.
These simpletons have no idea how good Yunhe Village is.
But this is good too, no one will compete with him for the spot. He wants the one closest to Lin Jinyue's house with a view of the lake.
Yun Chengyan and the others even got together to joke around:
"Haha, is Young Master Ji possessed?"
"If you ask me, the food here is fresh, but we can just have the servant come and buy more next time. There's no way to watch singing and dancing, and it's the middle of nowhere. Is it really necessary?"
"Haha, this is something you should only say in private. Don't say it in front of Young Master Ji."
“I’ve noticed he’s been bewitched these past few days. I heard he spent 10,000 taels of silver to build a house there, and his leg was almost broken by his brother.”
A group of young masters arrived at Lin Jinyue's place by boat, chatting and laughing.
As soon as the boat arrived at Yunhe Village, they smelled a peculiar aroma, unlike any of the delicacies they had ever eaten before.
Ji Zixuan wished he could live here year-round.
How many surprises does Yunhe Village hold that he doesn't know about?
The village is currently preparing braised prawns in oil.
This all started yesterday when Lin Gou Dan left get out of class early to go fishing in the river and got his hand pinched by a shrimp.
No, we should call him Lin Chen now.
Yesterday, Lin Chen only taught for an hour and read a few pages of the math book Lin Jinyue had given him before letting the students do the test themselves.
He then slipped away to catch crabs and fish.
There are river crabs and shrimp in this river, and occasionally some fish from the sea will swim by.
Sure enough, Lin Chen's hand was pinched by a huge lobster.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't attend class.
Jiang Yun treated him, and it will take at least a week for him to recover.
That day, Lin Jinyue asked her father to make braised prawns, which made everyone's mouths water. Chen Pang then asked if he could make smaller ones.
Lin Jinyue then mentioned braised crayfish to them, saying that the smaller ones were easier to flavor than the larger ones.
Sure enough, everyone in the village who had free time went out to find lobsters today.
They also found quite a few.
Lin Jinyue is preparing to raise crayfish.
She painstakingly dug a simple breeding pond on the farm and threw in the immature crayfish as shrimp seedlings.
Every household in the village received some. Some ate it directly, while others listened to Lin Jinyue and dug a pond to prepare for crayfish farming so they could eat more next year.
Honestly, lobster farming and snail farming are much easier than raising chickens, ducks, and pigs.
Although the earnings are small, it's basically a business with no initial investment and doesn't require much effort.
Lin Jinyue said that they could start a crayfish business next year.
Lin Jinyue watched the villagers busy themselves, and Lin Chen, despite his injured hand, still wanted to join in the fun.
She felt that the name Lin Gou Dan suited his temperament better.
Lin Jinyue recalled the steps to make braised prawns and guided her father step by step.
Other women in the village also came to learn.
Lin Shucheng was quite experienced, and the shrimp balls he made the first time were so easy that the shells could be easily broken off with a bite, and the taste was not much different from those in his previous life.
Others also borrowed seasonings from the Lin family to try making it themselves.
Lin Jinyue hadn't eaten crayfish in a long time, and she devoured most of the plate in no time.
Fortunately, the farm's supply chain is relatively fast; relying solely on wild crayfish, they probably won't last long.
About a month later, the batch of shrimp larvae on the farm will be ready to be harvested.
Lin Jinyue ate to her heart's content.
After finishing her meal, she went to the terrace on the third floor of the house.
The new houses have been built, and the construction team has started operating, helping villagers build many pigsties and rabbit sheds.
Yeah, I always feel like I've forgotten something.
Lin Jinyue sat on the swing on the terrace. Her house was on high ground, and she could see a ship coming from the sea in the distance.
The Ji family's flag was hanging above.
She remembered that she was supposed to discuss building a house with Ji Zixuan today.
Lin Jinyue quickly stood up and ran downstairs.
When Ji Zixuan and his group arrived, the air was filled with the aroma of braised crayfish. Every household was making it.
The aroma was so enticing that it made one's mouth water.
Ji Zixuan found Lin Jinyue's house, where Lin Jinyue, who had been waiting, waved to him: "Over here, over here, my new house has been built."
Ji Zixuan brought along a group of his cronies.
Looking at so many people, Lin Jinyue felt a little happy: "Are they all here to buy land and build houses in our village?"
Ji Zixuan nodded, "But I made a promise, I have to do mine first."
