Guarding Wen Ya and the head of the He family, he signed the contract and paid one hundred and twenty taels of house money in person. Then Qian Laoer took the contract and the account to Cao Yamen and exchanged four official deeds.
'Then he ran back to He's house.
After Wen Ya and the head of the He family signed the four official deeds, Qian Laoer took the four official deeds and the deed tax money to the Commercial Taxation Institute to pay taxes and have them stamped, and then went to the Hucao Yamen to have them stamped.
Finally, four copies of the official deed were left, one for Cao Yamen, one for the Commercial and Taxation Institute, one for Wen Ya and one for the head of the He family. In one afternoon, the house sale was completed.
After leaving the He family courtyard, Wen Ya handed the house deed to Qing Yu, Hong Tao leaned over and read the contents on it,
"He Mengyou, the person who established the deed of sale, now has a base of one acre, four points, seven centimeters and thirteen steps, located in Jiuquli, with fifteen rooms in the east, to the east.
Gongchen Street_, south to _Baihuajing Lane_, west to _Sajin Street_, north to _Lihua Lane_,
Sold to _Wen Ya_ as a business, the price was _one hundred and twenty_ two cents that day. There were no repeated sales, disputes between relatives and neighbors, etc. If there are any unknown matters, they are solely the responsibility of the seller and not the buyer.
If you want to have proof later, please keep this as a record."
"I didn't expect that there are so many rules when buying a house." Hong Tao said after reading the contents of the deed carefully several times.
Shi'an sighed, "Now, I can really live in peace and stability."
Hearing this, the four of them looked happy again. After living without a fixed place for more than half a year, they finally had a home that was completely their own.
"Go back quickly and dispel all the negative energy in that alley. I've endured it for a long time." Hong Tao hurriedly took a few steps away.
Several people followed him with smiles.
Back in Jiuquli, Xu Lan had already returned and was making dinner.
When Xu Lan heard the four people coming back, he took the dishes out of the pot with a shovel and then went out to greet them, "Is everything going well?"
"It really saves effort to have Fang Ya help me run." Wen Ya said with a smile.
Hongtao hugged the trees here and rubbed the flowers there, very happy, "I didn't feel it just now, but now it feels a little more real. From now on, this place will truly be our home."
Qingyu couldn't help but smile when she saw how happy she was.
"Are we going to live here all the time in the future? A few years, ten years, decades..." Shi'an looked at Qingyu and said slowly.
Qingyu paused and looked up at the sky. She didn't know where Xuanmen was, but she had lived in that place for hundreds of years. Where could her disciples, disciples, and the Xuanmen for which she had devoted so much effort be?
Go back?
"I can't see it, it's blank there, I... don't know." She became unusually confused.
Warm touches came from the top of the head, but Shi'an comforted us as always, "Now that we've come, let's make peace with it. Since God wants us to stay here, there must be a reason."
Xuanmen, the Patriarch, and Tan'er Shaohua are all people who can take charge of their own business, with them here, you don't have to worry."
Yes, with them here, there is no need to worry. Qingyu lowered her head slightly. She has been in Xuanmen since she was born, and it was her only home, but now she has to settle down in another place, which makes her feel mixed.
Get up.
"You and us." Two familiar voices came to my ears.
Qingyu looked up in confusion and saw Wen Ya and Hong Tao looking at her with smiles.
"We are all here." Shi'an looked at her tenderly.
"We still need that coward to cry, but he must be thinking about us now." Hong Tao said with a smile.
Qingyu chuckled, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned away, "Well, I don't know what's going on with the medicine field now." Anyway, Xuanmen is far away, but at least she is not alone now.
Xu Lan glanced at it for a few times, then silently went to the kitchen, put the food on the table, then came out and called out "Eat" with a smile.
"Eat, eat." Hongtao hugged Qingyu hard, gave her a kiss on the forehead, and then pulled Qingyu to the dining table.
Qingyu touched his forehead and returned to his usual faint smile.
When the four of them came to the dinner table, they were surprised to see a large table full of rich dishes.
Xu Lan was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know if it is to your liking. There have been a lot of things going on in the past few days. The mountain pavilion has been opened, a house has been bought, and there are medicine fields. I took the initiative and made this table dish to celebrate."
Several people followed and sat down, Wen Ya smiled: "We are just eager to enjoy this blessing, but it will make you tired."
Xu Lan poured a bowl of rice wine for everyone and said with a smile:
"My grandpa and I used to be the only ones on the mountain. I loved cooking whenever I had free time, but no matter how many different ways I cooked it, there was only what grandpa said was 'delicious.' Even though I was happy, I always felt that something was missing."
He sat down and said: "Now I know that I want more people to eat the food I cook. I want to hear them all say it is delicious, so I will feel very satisfied."
The red peach sandwiched a square piece of meat about two inches long, half fat and half lean. The skin looked thin and tender, and the color was bright red. Before it even entered my mouth, I could smell the aroma of wine.
She carefully took a bite, and it was fragrant and glutinous in the mouth, fat but not greasy, mixed with the aroma of wine, extremely rich and mellow, and crispy but not broken. Her eyes widened in shock, "This is too delicious, how did you make it?"
Two blushes appeared on Xu Lan's cheeks, but she was happy, "To make this dish, you need to cook it slowly, with less water and more wine, but it must be combined with other seasonings, otherwise the aroma of the wine will overwhelm the aroma of the meat, and the gain will outweigh the loss. These two
It's best if they complement each other.
This dish has a name, it’s ‘Dongpo Pork’.”
I quickly finished one piece of heart, but it was not enough. I picked up another piece and my mouth was full of oil.
Shi'an picked up a piece of hoof with red meat and white skin, smooth and crystal clear, and transparent in marinade, like crystal, and asked curiously: "What is this called? It's not like ordinary pig's trotters."
"I call it crystal hoof. The lean meat is crispy and the fat meat is not greasy. It tastes crispy, tender and fresh, especially when paired with shredded ginger and Zhenjiang vinegar, it has a unique flavor."
Shi'an nodded slightly and took a bite. The taste was really amazing. He couldn't help but praise: "It's not greasy, slightly crispy and fragrant. It's bright red and tender, and it's frozen crystal dish. This taste is incredible."
Xu Lan suddenly beamed with joy and introduced the dishes on the table next to each other. However, before the introduction was finished, she realized that everyone had not eaten yet, so she quickly stopped talking and urged everyone to use their chopsticks to eat.
Wen Ya took the lead in picking up the rice wine bowl and said, "May everything go well for us in the future."
Several people picked up their wine bowls and drank the whole bowl of rice wine with a smile.
Qingyu took a few sips and said with some aftertaste, "This rice wine tastes really good, it's not the one we bought." After a few sips, he said.
"I brewed this myself." Xu Lan replied with a smile, and poured another bowl for everyone, "But don't drink too much, as it will have a strong stamina."
It's sweet and fragrant, what kind of staying power can it have? Qingyu thought to herself, drank it in a few sips, and then poured another bowl by herself holding the wine jar.
After Wen Ya took a few bites of the food, she suddenly remembered and asked Xu Landao: "Is Shange okay for the afternoon?"
Xu Lan was reminded and then remembered, "Oh yes, a girl named Jiang Chenglan sent a congratulatory gift in the afternoon. She said it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but she didn't expect that Guohuai Street was packed with people and they couldn't squeeze in. Today,
Just sent it.
The gift was twenty wooden swords, and I thought that real swords and guns would hurt people, so I sent a set of wooden swords."
