Chapter 107 The Liu Family Bought the Mountain



My family tried the blanched bamboo shoots and found them to be delicious, not bitter at all and still very fresh.

Liu Daling decided to call the villagers to go digging together tomorrow. There are so many bamboo shoots on the mountain, and spring bamboo shoots cannot wait, so it would be a pity not to dig them.

In addition to seafood, Liu Yuhan also likes bamboo shoots, as well as pickled peppers and spicy bamboo shoots. However, pickled peppers and bamboo shoots should be very small, so the taste is better.

Liu Yuhan is mainly working on cosmeceuticals in her space tonight. She's making a whitening Chinese herbal mask that can brighten and improve skin in the shortest possible time.

Every woman loves beauty, and a fair complexion can hide all flaws. First, make a Chinese herbal facial mask, and if you find it effective, then market it.

Liu Yuhan first mixed angelica, white angelica, white poria, bletilla striata, and almond powder with a hand blender, then ground them all with a stone grinding stone. After mixing these ingredients, she added ground pearl powder and egg white to make a paste for facial application.

This recipe is suitable for promoting blood circulation, brightening skin, whitening and preventing wrinkles.

Put the ground facial mask into a small porcelain bottle and cover it. Apply it thinly for a while before going to bed every day, then wash your face with clean water. A small porcelain bottle is enough for ten days.

Liu Yuhan prepared herself and applied the ointment first. There was nothing unusual on her skin. Her face was smooth after washing and had a faint medicinal scent.

She packed two more small porcelain bottles, one for her mother and one for her aunt. The three of them would try the products out first to see if they worked, so that they would feel more confident in selling them.

The next day, Liu Shinan sent a group of children to school and came back to tell his daughter that the mountains near the village could be bought and sold.

The land behind their mountain is for sale. It's the same price as sand fields: half a tael of silver per acre. If you want it, you can call the county people to measure it and write a contract.

He has already agreed on behalf of his daughter, and he estimates that people from the county will come to measure the land tomorrow.

She had already informed the adults at home last night about her plan to buy the mountain land. When the adults heard that Liu Yuhan was planning to buy the mountain land to raise pigs and chickens, they were very happy and interested, and they all started discussing and offering suggestions.

They like this environment very much. It is not only close to home, but also convenient because there is water on the mountain.

Whether it's raising crops or something else, who in the countryside doesn't raise or grow something? Fields and land hold a very important place in the hearts of farmers. The more land a family has, the more secure they feel.

The happiest person was Liu Daling, as the tofu shop he had invested in earlier was already making a profit.

He gets his profit every two weeks, and this time he got a full 20 taels of silver! His family was very happy to see that the tofu shop could make so much money. They had never imagined that their family could have such a large income in a month!

Liu Da was very happy. He said to his granddaughter generously that he would pay for the purchase of dozens of acres of mountain top, as it was all earned from selling tofu.

Liu Yuhan naturally followed his grandfather's wishes as long as he was happy. The old man would feel happier and more accomplished because he felt that he had made a contribution to the family.

In short, everyone in the village knows that their family has income now, so buying the mountain is not a big deal.

The next day, as Liu Shinan had guessed, Zhang Lizheng and Xu Zhubo came to Liu's house with four fast-moving yamen runners.

The Liu family bought mountain land not long after purchasing Shatin. It seems that this family has a solid foundation. The chief clerk and the yamen runners were very polite to their family.

Without further ado, I went to measure the hilltop as they requested. This hilltop looked small, but that was only as far as the eye could see. In reality, it was quite large, more than 50 mu. Calculating it as 50 mu, including the three mu outside the Liu family's wall, it came to 52 mu, a total of 26 taels of silver.

Liu Daling readily paid the silver, and the contract document was written, stamped and signed on the spot, and the 52 acres of mountain land belonged to the Liu family.

It was getting dark, and Xu Zhubo was anxious to return. Liu Daling slipped him two taels of silver to buy tea for the journey. The four yamen runners also worked hard, each slipping half a tael of silver. Liu Daling secretly slipped one tael of silver to Zhang Lizheng. He might have to trouble them again in the future, so he couldn't save this money.

The Liu family gathered together tonight. They were very happy looking at the land deeds and discussed what to do. They first decided to find a flat place with convenient water access to build a pigpen and chicken coop, build a few more houses for people to live in, and if possible, enclose it with a wall within a suitable area.

In short, all safety work must be done at one time, and fire prevention, waterproofing and theft prevention must be taken into consideration in advance.

Where can I buy pig and chicken seedlings? For pig and chicken feed, if you see suitable grass, you can cut it, dry it, and save it for later use. (Rural pig farming usually involves mixing grass with rice bran or leftover rice and cooking it.)

I'll go to the town to ask tomorrow instead of going to the county. I'll just ask Yang Nianhua directly in town. He's now opened a noodle shop in Yukou Town and is very familiar with the customers and the shops next to him.

This person is a typical social butterfly in modern times. He is naturally familiar with everyone and can chat with everyone. There will be no dull moments with him around, and he will not feel embarrassed even if he can't chat.

Liu Yuhan still admires his uncle for this. This is a skill that not everyone can learn.
