"It has the effects of nourishing qi and yin, tonifying the spleen, lungs and kidneys, consolidating essence and stopping leukorrhea. It contains a lot of starch and can be eaten as a staple food."
Chen Hongjie was clearly unconvinced and exclaimed, "How is that possible? That stick would swell up your hand if you touched it. If you ate it, wouldn't your intestines and stomach rupture?"
Ling Jiheng shook his head frantically: "Not really, not really. It's not poisonous, it just causes allergies. Just don't touch it when peeling it."
Chen Hongjie was skeptical and took them to find the scorpion root.
When Ling Jiheng came out, he borrowed tools from Chen Lizheng. When he saw a pile of dead vines, he went forward to dig them without hesitation.
Seeing this, Chang Wan hurriedly called a few brothers to come and help.
Ling Jiheng did not refuse and used local ingredients to steam the crabs.
Soon, the crab shells turned red. A crab that knew how to eat led a few crabs that couldn't eat to taste the extraordinary delicacy.
There is no seasoning, so besides being fresh, it also has a bit of fishy taste. But you can imagine how delicious it would be if dipped in seasoning.
Chang Wanji and his men worked quickly, and soon they had dug out the yams. Without even washing them, they roasted them over the fire.
After a while, the skin was peeled off, and the soft and sticky taste once again attacked the taste buds of several people.
Chen Hongjie's reaction was very similar to Song Lizheng's, full of regret and anticipation.
Ling Jiheng reminded them of sustainable development and ignored the rest.
The temperature was not high at noon, and I can’t remember how many days it has been cloudy.
Chen Hongjie was strolling with a few people when he suddenly thought of something and excitedly said to Ling Jiheng, "Brother, I know a good place. Do you want to go with me?"
"Oh, what's a good place?"
"There are several springs on our mountain. They emit steam even in the middle of winter. The men in the village sometimes come up here to bathe."
Chi Xingyue's eyes lit up, and he thought, isn't this the hot spring he was looking for? It was really easy to get.
He immediately signaled Ling Jiheng: "Go, go!"
Ling Jiheng lived up to expectations and nodded, "Is it far? I really want to see it!"
Chen Hongjie smiled and said, "It's not too far. It's just on this mountain. It's only half an hour away from here. There are some over there, but that's where the aunts go. There are some other places too, but they're a bit far away."
Ling Jiheng glanced around and found that the other side was closer to the village, but it was still a bit far from the land he had his eye on.
He nodded and let Chen Hongjie lead the way. They walked quickly and soon arrived at the hot spring pool.
Ling Jiheng discovered that there were not only three springs here, but the water was clear and there were natural rock walls to block it.
It’s just too perfect!
Yu Tingzhang looked at the light in his eyes and immediately understood Ling Jiheng's plan.
Considering his behavior of entertaining Chang Wanji and others and giving them a mushroom recipe, he suddenly felt that this guy was setting a trap for him and was a sinister person.
But I also admire him more, it's a pity that he was exiled. Otherwise, his future is limitless.
Thinking of Ling Jiheng's identity before his exile, Yu Tingzhang's eyes flashed.
It seems that the Ling family is not simple as they dare to make such a big fuss about buying houses and land.
Even the wife he married is very powerful.
That is, why didn't I think of buying a spring before? Looking at Ling Jiheng's eyes, it is obviously a good thing!
He went back and calculated how much money his family had, and if possible, he would also buy a piece of mountain wine.
Ling Jiheng caught a glimpse of Yu Tingzhang's thoughtful look out of the corner of his eye, smiled, and didn't take it too seriously.
He knew that this time he could no longer hide the fact that he was rich, but for the sake of the hot spring villa, revealing some of his wealth was worth it.
After all, even a rotten boat has three pounds of nails. How could it be possible that he, the richest man in Jiangnan, did not have any hedging measures?
Seeing that Yu Tingzhang and others wanted to soak in the hot spring pool, Ling Jiheng took the initiative to take his young wife away from this area and stroll around.
I found that the air here is humid and even the grass is green.
Ling Jiheng asked: "How is it? Do you like it here?"
Chi Xingyue chuckled: "Of course, a hot spring pool, I haven't even been in one before!"
It’s a pity that it was occupied by those stinky men, otherwise I could go in and play for a while.
Chi Xingyue saw that the water was flowing. This kind of pool is much cleaner than a public swimming pool!
Ling Jiheng raised his hand to rub Chi Xingyue's hair and comforted her, "It's okay. We'll build a wall around it and only use it for our own people."
Chi Xingyue nodded: "I want the biggest one, for one person."
Ling Jiheng's smile froze: "No, you have to bring your husband with you."
Chi Xingyue looked Ling Jiheng up and down, and after a moment, pretended to be reluctant: "Okay, I'll take you with me!"
Ling Jiheng raised his hand and pinched Chi Xingyue's face, thinking that the little girl was quite good at pretending, but he liked it.
The two of them stood there in the cold wind for half an hour before a group of men came out of the hot spring pool.
Although my hair was disheveled, it was almost dry. When the wind blew, only my body felt cool, but my head didn't feel anything.
Yu Tingzhang met Chi Xingyue's gaze and felt a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "Let's go!"
Take a few people down the mountain.
She tied her hair up on the way and met a villager, and it was the noble and elegant Lord Yu again.
The group went straight to Chen Lizheng's house. Ling Jiheng came straight to the point and said that he wanted to buy the wasteland and the mountain with hot springs behind the wasteland.
Chen Lizheng looked at his son's guilty look and wondered what he didn't understand.
To be honest, he didn't want to sell it, but he had already agreed to it and signed the deed, so it was difficult to go back on his word.
With Lord Yu present, Chen Lizheng's momentum was completely suppressed. He could only mumble, "That mountain is huge. It won't be cheap to buy it."
As for the spring, although it was painful, it was not unacceptable if the money was in place. After all, there were other springs in the village.
Ling Jiheng nodded: "Don't worry, it's the right amount. Just get the formalities done as soon as possible."
Chen Lizheng sighed, "It's getting late today. I'll take people to measure the land at daybreak tomorrow. Let's try to finish it by evening!"
Ling Jiheng nodded and said he would come back early the next morning.
At this time, Yu Tingzhang spoke, and his words and actions expressed the same meaning as Ling Jiheng.
But the land he wanted wasn't that big, and it wouldn't take up a mountain. He just wanted a hot spring so he could relax when he was tired.
What else could Chen Lizheng do? Of course he agreed.
And with Yu Tingzhang's support, he didn't dare to ask for a high price. He could only sulk alone.
After finally sending the two groups away, Chen Lizheng felt something was wrong. Unable to contain himself any longer, he sought advice from the elders of the clan.
The answer he got was: "Sell it, why not? With Lord Yu in charge, how can our village be in trouble from now on? I'm afraid those scoundrels won't dare to come and cause trouble!"
As for Ling Jiheng, ha, can anyone who can come up with so much money be an ordinary person? Didn't you see that he can make a fortune with just a simple prescription?
It would be a blessing for them if they could really settle down in Changning Village!
"Zhaohe, if you have the blessing, take it boldly. Don't be timid or you will ruin it!"
