Chapter 318 Wangyue Village is a wonderful place
"Apart from each other~"
Mu Tiantian let out a satisfied burp and leaned back in her chair.
She had eaten plenty of delicacies, but this was the first time she had ever tasted anything so delicious.
Her father had been away for so long this time, and everyone in the family was worried sick, thinking he had been kidnapped.
So this time she personally went out to find her father.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that her father was held up by the delicious food here.
"Sweetie, let me tell you, Wangyue Village in Pingyao County is a wonderful place!"
I've gotten used to being here, and I'm not going back.
While picking his teeth, Mu Yang glanced at Mu Tiantian out of the corner of his eye.
He reluctantly negotiated with his daughter, his heart pounding with the urge to back down, but for the sake of a better life, he was determined to fight for it.
His daughter came to him in person, and the consequence of taking her back was that she was forced into marriage.
The women chosen to marry him were either beautiful young women or clever ladies, each one younger than the last.
He's over fifty years old; there's no way he could possibly become a husband and wife.
This time, Mu Tiantian unusually did not immediately refute.
Instead, he asked with a face full of curiosity, "Dad, is Wangyue Village really that good?"
"Of course! This Wangyue Village is unique in Qianyu Kingdom. Even the capital city can't compare to it!"
Looking at her father's proud expression, Mu Tiantian thought that Wangyue Village belonged to him.
His father was a playboy who was no good at studying or doing business, but he was good at eating, drinking and having fun.
It has to be admitted that even a good-for-nothing father has some good judgment.
To receive such high praise from him, this village must have something special about it.
"Alright, then take me back to your place. I'll stay for a few days and take a look around."
Mu Tiantian yawned. Two months of non-stop work and riding in a carriage had really exhausted her.
"A place to stay? This is it!"
Mu Yang was taken aback, then understood and pointed to the table.
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian was stunned, just like her father. She instantly woke up from her drowsiness, thinking her father hadn't understood, and said again:
"Father, I'm not talking about the inn, I'm talking about the courtyard where you're staying."
"You've been here for over a few months; you must have bought a courtyard house in Wangyue Village by now."
His father took five thousand taels with him when he went out this time.
Spending a few hundred taels to buy a courtyard was his habit whenever he went to a new place.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yang felt somewhat embarrassed: "Ah, ah... Father's courtyard is in Pingyao County, not here."
He had always dreamed of buying a courtyard house in Wangyue Village.
But the land in Wangyue Village isn't something money can buy.
Fortunately, a guesthouse has opened in the village, so he can stay there from now on!
"what?"
The unexpected result made Mu Tiantian frown: "Don't tell me you've spent all five thousand taels of pocket money you took, to the point that you can't even afford a courtyard in Wangyue Village?"
If that's the case, then this living father of hers is too expensive; it's better not to have him.
"no no……"
Mu Yang flexed his arms into a whirlwind shape and hurriedly explained, "How could that be? Your father is that spendthrift!"
It's not what you think. It's just that this land in Wangyue Village isn't something you can just buy whenever you want!
"Oh? Then tell me!"
Mu Tiantian immediately became interested.
There's nothing money can't solve; if it really can't, then you've definitely given too little.
Mu Yang held his teacup and took a sip: "Sweetie, put away your merchant's tricks. Your methods won't work in Wangyue Village."
This Wangyue Village is the most united village I've ever seen. The county magistrate protects this area.
As long as the village doesn't give in, no one can buy the land in the village.
Of course! If just anyone could settle down in Wangyue Village, wouldn't Dou Weiyi's rebellious blacksmithing den on the mountain be impossible to hide?
Dou Weiyi thoroughly investigated the ancestors of everyone who moved in, even going back eighteen generations!
Mu Yang said with a face full of regret, "Your father wanted to buy a courtyard here on the first day he came here, but the county magistrate wouldn't approve it, and no amount of money could change his mind."
"What else is going on?!"
Mu Tiantian's face froze. This was truly the first time she had ever seen a village that didn't want money. She'd never seen anything like it before.
Mu Yang nodded helplessly: "Mm."
"Dad, can you take me out for a walk?"
She wanted to see what kind of magic this village possessed that made her father so happy that he didn't want to go home.
"Okay, Dad will take you for a walk!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yang immediately agreed that it must be arranged properly!
As the two went outside, they encountered Gao Mengli and Lin Xi, who were drying soy sauce and vinegar in the courtyard.
"Is Mr. Mu heading out?"
Gao Mengli spoke to Mu Yang, but her eyes were fixed on Mu Tiantian.
Damn it, this child is so cute and adorable!
Mu Tiantian blushed, a rare occurrence, under Gao Mengli's gaze.
"Uncle, Aunt!"
Being overly polite is never a bad thing, so Mu Tiantian gave the two of them a proper, well-bred bow.
Lin Xi chuckled and, without even untying her apron, quickly stepped forward to gently help Mu Tiantian up, saying, "We're too kind! There aren't that many rules in this village."
Sure enough, girls are much more pleasing to the eye than his brat.
Gao Mengli put down the vinegar jar and walked over: "Are you two going out?"
"Yes, this is my daughter, Tiantian. I'm taking her for a walk around the village!"
Mu Yang nodded with a broad smile.
After the two left, Gao Mengli and Lin Xi continued to fiddle with the jar.
"By the way, Mengli, Ali just came over and said that the malt has sprouted well and can be used to make maltose."
Lin Xi always remembers this matter.
Gao Mengli has been busy with the inn lately and hasn't been to the nursery. Hearing this, Gao Mengli's face lit up with joy: "Okay, after you and Hei Yi finish work, help A Li carry the malt seedlings over. I'll go find the village chief."
After Gao Mengli finished speaking, she untied her apron and headed towards the village entrance.
A short while later, the sound of a gong rang out at the entrance of the village.
Upon hearing the sound, the villagers rushed towards the edge of the village!
Mu Tiantian was looking at the chayote trellis along the village road when she suddenly heard a noise. She looked at Mu Yang with curiosity and asked, "Dad? What's going on?"
"Don't be nervous, this is a matter for the village to discuss, and the village chief is gathering the villagers with a gong!"
If there are safety issues in the village and the village patrol needs to be mobilized, the village chief will strike the area with an iron block.
Mu Yang was well aware of this commotion.
The sound of the gong signals the arrival of silver!
You can tell just by looking at the villagers' happy faces!
At the village entrance, the village chief, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, gestured with his hand: "Everyone, go back to your homes and bring over all the sesame seeds you have left. The Lin family will charge twenty coins per pound!"
"Oh my, I knew it! The village chief's gong is never empty. Let's go back and get it!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers knew that today was auspicious for making money, so they quickly went back to fetch the sesame seeds!
Every household grows sesame seeds, which are an essential filling for making "pig's glutinous rice cakes" during the Lunar New Year. However, they are not plentiful, with each family producing at most ten or so kilograms.
More than fifty households, and it weighs about 500 jin (250 kg).
