It's getting dark.
It was freezing cold outside, but in the house Chen Wang was drinking and eating meat with his master and Chen Dazhuang, and he felt warm all over.
The roe deer meat is stewed by the chef.
Having been a hunter for half his life, the chef may not be able to cook other dishes, but he is absolutely good at stewing and grilling meat.
The roe deer meat was cut into pieces with the skin, and side dishes such as winter bamboo shoots, potatoes, and radishes were added. It was stewed on a wood stove for nearly an hour until it was soft and tasty.
It is served directly in an enamel bowl, and is large and filling, accompanied by fried peanuts, pickled cucumbers, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.
The little girl had finished a bowl of rice and was still eating it.
Lin Xiuqin sat next to Chen Wang, holding the little one in her left hand and eating food with chopsticks in her right hand.
The little guy was obviously full before coming over, but now he seemed to smell the fragrance and was smacking his lips.
"Xiaoyu, eat more, there's still a lot of meat!"
Yan Yulan smiled and put some meat into the little girl's bowl.
"Uh-huh!"
Chen Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, puffing out her cheeks and moving them like a hamster eating.
"Xiaoyu has a really good appetite."
The master praised with a smile.
"She is a foodie!"
Chen Wang joked with amusement.
"Brother, I'm not a foodie!"
The little girl retorted angrily, her words a little unclear.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Just then, a shout was heard from outside.
“Da Zhuang!!”
"It's the village chief!"
The little girl recognized the voice immediately.
Everyone looked outside the house and saw the village chief walking towards them with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Awang, you're here too. It just so happens that there's a meeting in the village today, so I want to talk to you about renting the land."
When the village chief saw Chen Wang, he explained his purpose with a smile.
"Village chief, come in and have a drink together."
Chen Jianjun hurriedly stood up and invited him.
"No, I just ate at home. You guys ate a little late today!"
The village chief smiled and declined.
No one is well off these days, so when you visit someone's home, you should try to avoid meal times.
The village chief did the same, but he didn't expect that Chen Wang and the other man would come back a little late today, and it took a long time to stew the meat.
"I didn't ask you to eat after you ate. Let's drink some wine together to warm our bodies. Hurry up."
Chen Jianjun smiled and waved.
Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang also spoke up and asked the village chief to come over and have a drink with them.
"Okay, I'll be welcome then."
The village chief stopped being pretentious and walked into the house.
"Grandpa Village Chief, sit here with me."
The little girl moved aside to make room for the village chief.
"Okay!"
The village chief smiled kindly and sat down next to her.
Yan Yulan had already stood up and went to the kitchen in the back, and quickly brought a set of bowls and chopsticks to the village chief.
Chen Dazhuang also took a clean cup from the incense table and picked up the wine bottle to fill it up for the village chief.
"Enough, enough, there is no way we can have so much!"
The village chief pretended to complain.
"Village Chief, please stop pretending. Who doesn't know how much you can drink?"
Chen Dazhuang grinned.
The village chief blushed and rolled his eyes.
"Come on, village chief, master, and brother Zhuang, let's go one by one."
Chen Wang raised his glass to toast.
The three of them raised their glasses, clinked their glasses with his, and took a sip of wine each.
"Village chief, have some meat, they just caught some roe deer today."
Chen Jianjun said with a smile on his face.
“It looks good.”
The village chief smiled and nodded, picked up a piece of meat, tasted it, and then gave a favorable comment.
After watching the village chief finish eating the meat, Chen Dazhuang asked, "Village chief, how is the land lease going?"
"Well, it's all been approved at the meeting. Your 20 acres and Awang's 100 acres are both 50 per acre. The lease term is ten years, and the rent is paid once a year."
The village chief told the result in one breath.
Chen Dazhuang's face lit up with joy.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yulan and Chen Jianjun both smiled.
After all, hunting depends on luck, while being able to rent a piece of land to grow medicinal herbs provides a more stable income from the land and gives people peace of mind.
As for whether they can make money, they, like Chen Dazhuang, have unconditional trust in Chen Wang.
Since it was Chen Wang who proposed it, and he himself wanted to rent 100 acres of land, it means that there is definitely a way to do it.
"Village Chief, then my land..."
"It's the area behind your house. I'll take you there in two days to decide on the specific area and then sign the contract."
“Sure, sure.”
Chen Dazhuang smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Awang, the same goes for your one hundred acres of land. You should have a rough idea of the vacant land in the village. You and your wife should discuss which specific land you want to rent in the next two days."
The village chief looked at Chen Wang again and said.
"good!"
Chen Wang agreed.
"Also, regarding the medicinal herb seedlings, I have roughly calculated the amount that the village will need after the spring, and have written them down here. I'll leave it to you to negotiate the details."
The village chief took out a piece of paper and handed it to him.
Chen Wang took it, opened it, glanced at it, then folded it and put it in his pocket.
"Okay, I understand."
…
…
Two days later, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang signed the land lease contract and paid the rent they had withdrawn from the bank.
Chen Wang’s one hundred acres of land is worth five thousand yuan, and Chen Dazhuang’s twenty acres of land is worth one thousand yuan.
This matter cannot be concealed. All the main cadres in the village were present when the contract was signed.
When the news spread, the entire Chenjia Village was in an uproar.
One hundred acres of land, five thousand yuan!
