Chapter 221

"Jiuge, what's the use of buying that barren mountain? It can't be used for growing crops."

Mo Jiuye knew that as soon as he mentioned buying a mountain, the other party would have such thoughts.

Anyway, the things they would do in the future would have to come to light, and there was no need to keep it a secret.

"My wife made an agreement with that foreigner. The next time he comes, he will bring some specialty fruit trees from their hometown. It is said that many of those fruit trees grow on the mountainside, so I plan to buy a piece of mountain to try cultivation."

As he explained, not only did Meng Huaining fail to understand, but even Mo Chuhan also disagreed.

"Jiudi, I know that Jiumei's maternal family gave her a considerable amount of money before she was exiled. With that money, you should save some for future needs. Besides, even if those foreigner's fruit tree saplings do come, it's uncertain whether they can be successfully planted in the northwest's climate."

Mo Jiuye couldn't explain too much about this matter. Only he knew that the fruit tree seeds in his wife's space didn't care about climate or soil quality.

"Baoge, if Ranan likes them, then let her have her way this time."

Speaking like this, his younger brother pampering his wife, what could he, as the older brother, say?

Mo Chuhan wisely kept his mouth shut.

Seeing that Mo Jiuye had already said so much, Meng Huaining, as an outsider, didn't feel the need to advise him any further.

"The government has always had regulations that set the selling price of mountains the same as wasteland, which is one or two silver coins per mu. But Jiuge, you can rest assured, when my people come to survey, we'll add some water."

In any case, this was all he could do. Hopefully, your fruit can be successfully cultivated."

"And also, when Meng Brothers send people to survey the barren land in the north, they can measure it as well," Mo Jiuye continued.

"That's not a problem. I'll send people to survey it tomorrow."

After a pause, Meng Huaining couldn't help but ask.

"Jiuge, with you buying so much barren land, it won't be productive for several years. Why not wait until the Cui family sells their fertile land before making a move?"

Mo Jiuye understood that Meng Huaining's words were all for his own good.

If it were someone else buying so much unproductive barren land, he would also have such doubts.

Since today's conversation had reached this point, Mo Jiuye didn't intend to conceal anything.

"My wife bought some high-yielding crop seeds from that foreigner. It is said that these seeds don't care about soil quality, so she wants to give them a try, and naturally, I support her."

It's Jiudi again...

Meng Huaining had already noticed it when they first met. Mo Jiuye dotes on his wife, but now it seems that it's not just doting anymore.

It's simply unbounded indulgence!

Looking at Mo Jiuye's resolute attitude, Meng Huaining instantly swallowed the words he wanted to advise.

"Since Jiuge thinks it's suitable, then go ahead and plant them..."

Mo Jiuye knew deep down that even though Meng Huaining said this, he still didn't agree with it.

No matter what others think, Ran Ran has always let the facts speak for themselves.

As for the dilapidated houses of the Cui family at the foot of the mountain, it won't be long before their relatives come knocking on their door, begging them to buy them.

After all, it's no secret that they purchased the houses of the Zhao and Zhou families.

It's believed that only he would spend money to buy such rundown houses.

The few of them chatted in the room for a while, and then the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law came in with freshly brewed tea made by Ran Ran.

It was the first time they had brewed tea at home. The tea leaves came from Ran Ran's space, where she grew Biluochun tea on the mountains of her farm and processed it using the operation platform. The taste was incomparable to ordinary Biluochun tea.

Especially in this era, tea processing techniques were outdated, and there was no such tea as Biluochun.

When her Biluochun tea was brought out, it was definitely the finest of the finest.

They hadn't had the chance to buy furniture yet, so they all sat on the kang (a heated brick bed).

The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law placed the tea by the edge of the kang.

The tea set looked quite new; it was a set of relatively inexpensive antique-style tea utensils that Ran Ran purchased on Taobao.

Mo Jiuye took the teapot and poured the tea. As soon as the tea started to flow, the room was filled with the fragrance.

Mo Chuhan and Meng Huaining both came from noble families, so they were no strangers to judging the quality of tea.

"Great tea..." Meng Huaining, whose lifelong hobby was tea tasting, couldn't help but praise when he smelled the tea's fragrance.

"Ninth Brother, did you buy this tea from foreigners?" He said this because during the Great Shun Dynasty, they hadn't come across such good tea.

The tea leaves in the water were tender green, obviously the most delicate part carefully selected.

One could imagine the preciousness of this tea.

Mo Chuhan was more direct; he naturally had to taste the finest tea first.

It was the first time Mo Jiuye had tasted tea produced from his wife's space. Seeing the impatience in both of them, he lifted the tea cup and made a gesture of invitation.

"Eighth Brother and Brother Meng, why don't you give this tea a try?"

As soon as he finished speaking, both of them took a sip.

"It has a fragrant and elegant taste, smooth and refreshing, with a rich and mellow flavor that lingers and a sweet and aromatic aftertaste." Meng Huaining gave a series of evaluations.

Mo Chuhan nodded repeatedly. "Indeed, it's excellent tea, refreshing and with an aftertaste."

The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law had also tasted some when Ran Ran brewed the tea. They both felt that it was the best tea they had ever tasted in their lives.

Therefore, they didn't rush to leave after bringing the tea; they wanted to see the men's reactions.

Sure enough, their expectations were met. How could anyone not like such tea?

The second sister-in-law smiled and said, "Ninth Sister-in-law is generous. If it were someone else, they wouldn't want to share such good tea."

The elder sister-in-law chimed in, "Yes, according to Ninth Sister-in-law, she only has two packets of this tea, and once they're finished, there won't be any left."

Meng Huaining had originally planned to ask Ran Ran for some of this good tea before leaving, but when he heard what the two sisters-in-law said, he immediately felt discouraged.

Others only had two packets, and he really couldn't bring himself to ask for any.

Da Sao and Er Sao had no idea what Meng Huaining was thinking. Their intention in speaking like that was simply to ask for a favor for their ninth sister-in-law.

Now that their purpose had been achieved, the two of them had no intention of staying any longer. After exchanging greetings, they left.

The three of them had finished drinking an entire pot of tea but still felt unsatisfied.

Fortunately, at this moment, preparations for the meal were already underway.

As before, He Zhiran took charge of cooking, with the sisters-in-law assisting him. With the addition of so many special ingredients, it was impossible for the dishes not to be delicious.

Wu Ge, along with Liang Hao and others, went to borrow some tables and chairs from the villagers once again. Eight dishes and one soup were placed on the table, allowing everyone to once again be amazed.
