Chapter 39
Li Zheng took his daughter and son, and Gu Qing was alone with Mo Li, and a group of people surveyed and recorded. These had to be written clearly on the documents, and then they had to be taken to the county government for stamping, so that this land would truly belong to the land. Gu Qing.

Gu Qing didn't understand these things, so she didn't go with her and stayed at home to cook.

She asked Gu Yu to go out to catch three fat ducks and come back. The three hens stewed the soup directly, put some mushrooms collected at home, made a ginger duck with two or three ducks, and picked the freshly sprouted vegetables in the yard. Stir-fry it with lard, then take out 20 eggs from the cabinet, and spread out a super-large omelette.

She walked into the back room and opened the food cabinet. The cabinet was unlocked, and there was still a lot of food in it.

Originally, she wanted to use white flour and rice as the staple food, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. She took out some cornmeal and millet, and planned to make some corn tortillas, and cook some dried millet rice that was neither hard nor soft.

Gu Qing prepared all the ingredients, and the process of cooking was handed over to Zhu Han.

Seeing that the food was almost ready, she said, "Nonuo, go and call your grandpa, grandma and grandpa Lizheng to eat."

Coincidentally, at this time, Li walked in with a land deed: "There are 41 mu of land in total, and it is 32 taels of silver plus eight dollars."

The old lady Gu followed in and said, "Qing'er bought forty acres of land in one go, shouldn't the eight dollars be wiped away?"

"Old sister-in-law, if you don't say this, I will also erase the eight coins." Lizheng handed over the land deed, "Your Dong Rong is a boy student. Let Dong Rong see if there is anything wrong with the land deed. If there is no problem, Tomorrow morning, go to the town to get a seal."

"What's the use of a Tongsheng, Auntie Lizheng, let me take a look. I'm a scholar better than Tongsheng." Mo Li took a look at it, basically nothing wrong, folded it up and solemnly handed it to Lizheng's hand .

"Are you a scholar?" Li Zheng was a little surprised.

"Aunt Lizheng, you wait!" Mo Li hurriedly ran out, then rushed back, and handed Lizheng a piece of scholarly writing.

"Aunt Lizheng, you can see clearly!" Mo Li was a little proud, but also a little indifferent.

"Oh! I didn't expect you to have two brushes. You are actually a scholar at such a young age. There is actually a scholar hidden in my Gujia Village!" Li Zheng was holding the writing disc in both hands for fear of breaking it.

"Okay, okay!" Li Zheng said three good words in a row, and then reluctantly returned the writing disk to Mo Li, and then ran to tell Mo Li to keep it safe and not damage it.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Aunt Lizheng, grandma, stay and have a meal. Today is a great occasion to buy land. It's too late to go to the town to buy vegetables, so I'll eat what's left at home."

When Lizheng and Mrs. Gu entered the yard, they had already smelled the smell of meat.

The two looked at the main room, good guy, a table is full of food, a big pot of ginger duck, a big pot of chicken soup, and a big plate of omelets, even the dish of ugly vegetables is full of oily flowers , This is really richer than what you eat during the Chinese New Year.

Old Madam Gu opened her mouth and wanted to scold a prodigal.

But if you think about it carefully, Gu Qing is sick and working hard to make money, so it is understandable to eat more chickens and ducks for this master. Besides, the vegetables just grow in the yard, and the eggs are also born by the hens at home. The only thing that came down was the cornmeal and millet. I must eat at least three or four catties for this meal...

Forget it, it's not bad that Gu Qing can afford land now, and it's not a problem to have a meal.

The old lady Gu immediately turned her back on the guest: "Lizheng, sit down."

At this time, Gu Nuo called old man Gu over, and the two sat down at the table, old lady Gu Qing and others also sat down, and Mo Li and the others brought Gu Nuo and Gu Yu to the side with a bowl There is no way to eat, the table is too small to sit down, so I just hold a bowl for each person to eat in the kitchen, and save a portion of all the dishes.

It was the first time Lizheng tasted the ginger duck in Gu Qing's house, and after taking a bite, he was shocked: "Our family has eaten duck a few times, but the taste of the duck meat is not as good as yours. It's too delicious."

Gu Nuo muttered, "Auntie Lizheng, my brother Mo said that this ginger duck is better than the restaurant in the town."

Li was eating two mouthfuls of meat and didn't dare to put down his chopsticks. Everyone is greedy for meat these days, so she helped to measure the land. How could he be able to eat meat for free in other people's homes? He bowed his head and ate corn and cornmeal pancakes.

When Gu Qing saw it, he couldn't help but say that the bowl was filled with meat, and there was even a big duck leg.

In the past, he could only eat three to four cents full, but this meal was filled by Gu Qing's non-stop picking up vegetables, Li Zheng put down his chopsticks very satisfied.

Gu Qing said that she didn't want to add food either, but she didn't, and she didn't dare to stretch out her chopsticks when she finished eating the meat in her bowl. How can she invite people to eat and make people look at the meat but feel embarrassed to eat it!
After the meal was over, Gu Qing took out 32 taels of silver and handed it to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng is holding the money from the land sale, which is the public funds of Gujia Village, if he keeps it with him, he is really afraid that it will be stolen in the middle of the night.

Lizheng warned in a low voice: "Miss Gu, hide the money in your hand well, don't be spotted and stolen..."

After sending Lizheng away.

Dong Rong took the initiative to collect and wash the dishes. These tasks used to be done in rotation, but Dong Rong felt ashamed and rushed to work every day.

In the past, he thought he was a boy, and he felt that Gao Moli was equal to the three of them, but since he knew that Yang Pei and Zhu Han were all children, and that Mo Li, who was more than a year younger than him, was a scholar, he realized that there was something about Yunshan Academy. Geniuses are deceptive.

He squatted next to the wooden basin, washed all the dishes and chopsticks, and then passed the water again, took them into the kitchen, put them neatly, and then covered them with a dustpan to prevent mice from crawling around in the middle of the night.

Gu Qing was about to go into the yard to do chores, but was stopped by Aunt Zhao: "Well, Mrs. Gu, I have something to discuss with you, that's what, don't your husbands and sons-in-law teach Gu Yu and the others to read every night? How about writing? Can I have the cheek to let Erya come over and learn together... Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you, I will pay for the repair..."

It happened that Dong Rong was washing dishes in the yard.

Gu Qing waved him out and said with a smile, "Aunt Zhao, if you ask him about this, I can't decide."

So Aunt Zhao said this again, and Dong Rong nodded: "Just bring a stool and sit down and listen together, it's not a big deal."

"It's not yet the autumn harvest, and my family has no food." Aunt Zhao was full of uneasiness, "I'll ask Erya's father to cut a few loads of dry firewood to put it first, and then add it later, will it work?"

Dong Rong didn't even have time to refuse.

Another person came to the door of the house, Mrs. Zhou, in her early seventies, with gray hair, but she walked very steadily.

Mrs. Zhou held a cloth bag in her hand, shook out more than 20 Wen and stuffed it directly into Dong Rong's hand: "The repair fee in the town is one or two taels of silver a month. My wife can't afford so much money, but I ask It’s not too high, just let Niach know a few words, I’ll give you the money, and I’ll let Niach come over to learn together at night.”

Mrs. Zhou left after saying this.

Aunt Zhao turned around and carried two loads of firewood from her firewood shed, and threw them into the yard of Gu Qing's house. She was afraid of being rejected, so she left after throwing away.
