It turns out there is such a trick here.
Li Yan understood, packed up her backpack, and said goodbye to Uncle Zhou.
Li Yan left Xingren Hall, looked at the sun, and thought it was still early, so she went to the pork shop again.
When we arrived at Zhu the butcher's stall, we found that there was still a lot of meat on it.
Li Yan bought two pounds of pork ribs, three pounds of pork belly, and one pound of lard from Zhu the butcher for a total of eighty coins.
Butcher Zhu took out two large bones that had been shaved almost clean from the bamboo basket behind him and gave them to Li Yan. Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction.
After getting the pork, Li Yan went to a wine shop and bought four small jars of wine, spending a total of eight cents of silver.
When Li Yan returned home with her things, Mrs. Lin was busy cooking.
Seeing the meat his daughter brought back, he smiled and said, "I forgot to ask you to buy some vegetables this morning. I was just worrying about it. I must arrange for the head of the village to come to our house for lunch!"
Li Yan had thought of this situation, so she bought some wine and meat when she came back.
While Li Yan was stewing the ribs, she asked Lin, "Did my grandfather go with the village head to measure the land?"
"It seems that there are only your father and the clan leader!" Lin replied.
After hearing what Lin said, Li Yan asked her mother to watch the heat while she went next door to find Mr. Li.
As soon as Li Yan entered the door, she saw her little cousin squatting on the ground playing with mud.
Seeing his cousin coming over, the little cousin rushed towards Li Yan enthusiastically and reached out to her for a hug.
Li Yan put her hand on his head before he got close to her: "Your hands are covered in mud, go wash them!"
After hearing her say this, the little cousin turned around and went to wash his hands with his elder sister.
Li Yan walked into the room and saw no one, so she went to the backyard and found her grandparents were busy tilling the vegetable garden.
Li Yan ran to Old Man Li and grabbed his hand: "Grandpa, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Old man Li staggered as his granddaughter pulled him. Mrs. Wu squinted at their backs and muttered, "What's going on? You're so mysterious!"
Li Yan dragged Old Man Li to her doorstep and told him on the way that Li Erlang had bought the barren mountain.
At first, Old Man Li thought he was hallucinating: "What? What did you buy?"
"Maoshan, it's the one next to our house!"
With a click, the pipe in Old Man Li's hand fell to the ground.
Old man Li rushed home like a gust of wind to settle accounts with Li Erlang. He said that his son was a useless person. In just a few days, he had squandered all the family money!
She rushed into the yard like a gust of wind, and looked inside and outside the house, but she didn't see her son. She only saw Lin standing at the kitchen door in panic, looking at her father-in-law, cursing and looking for her husband.
As if afraid of scaring his pregnant daughter-in-law, Old Man Li controlled his outburst and asked, "Where's Erlang?"
At this time, Li Yan also returned home from outside. When she heard the old man Li's question, she quickly replied, "Father and the head of the village are measuring the barren mountain right now!"
When Old Man Li heard his granddaughter say this, he immediately went to find someone!
Li Yan quickly stopped him and explained, "Grandpa, don't worry. I was the one who suggested that my father buy this barren mountain!"
When Old Man Li heard her say this, he was even more shocked. His son turned his head back and actually listened to a child!
Old Man Li's chest was heaving with anger. Seeing him like this, Li Yan hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, we bought that mountain because we discovered a Chinese medicinal herb there. I just sold it for quite a bit of money!"
Old Man Li was stunned, thinking he was hallucinating: "Chinese medicinal herbs, and they're selling for money?"
