    Seeing that the new small village was looking good, Xin Hu said, ¡°It¡¯s time for us to give the village a name.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right.¡± Everyone agreed.

    ¡°Everyone think about it, what¡¯s a name that¡¯s easy to remember and has good intentions?¡± Dalang said.

    Basically, everyone contributed one or two names, but most of them were very rustic and didn't have any new ideas. Neither Dalang nor Xinhu were satisfied.  The former Reed Village is easy to remember because of the large reed forest.  However, it is surrounded by undulating hilly areas with miscellaneous trees and weeds, so it is really difficult to give it a distinctive name.

    After thinking about it for a few days, Xin Hu had an idea and said, "How about calling it Happy Village?"

    "Happiness Village, hey, let's not say this name is really good." Everyone thinks this name is good.

    So, the small village with only five households got a resounding name, called Xingfu Village.

    Dalang, Ashin and Azhi, three grown men, went out of their way to find a big stone and spent several days carving a stone tablet to serve as a village monument.  It has the three characters "Happiness Village" written on it, and it is painted with bright red paint. It stands on the newly organized path at the head of the village, and it still looks like that.

    Since no crops can be planted during this season, everyone¡¯s energy is basically spent on digging fields and repairing the roads around the village.

    Dalang Yexin Lake, with Xingfu Village as the center, was looking for a place. They had to choose a place that was large enough, fertile, not far from the village, and there was also a geomantic treasure land nearby that could be used as an ancestral tomb.  Find a way to buy it.  Treat it as their permanent field and ancestral property.

    "Are we going to invite a Feng Shui master to come and check it out?" Xin Hu asked half-jokingly.

    "Our family is not a big shot, so how can we pay so much attention to it. It just seems to be suitable." Dalang said with a smile.

    Although he said this, he has traveled all year round and has seen a lot, so he naturally understands some basic Feng Shui.  So finally, he settled on a place.  There are mountains in the distance, open plains in front, and a large river stretching out. There are mountains, water, and fields. Even a person like Xin Hu, who doesn't know anything at all, thinks this must be a good place.

    "That's it. I think it's okay, what do you think?" Dalang said.

    "Well, I think it's good too. I wonder how big it is here?" Xin Hu said.

    Dalang had a rough idea in his mind, "I made a rough estimate, this place is about three hundred acres in size."

    "Is three hundred acres a bit too small?" Xin Hu asked.

    "It doesn't matter, we can just pick a few acres closer." Dalang said disapprovingly.

    Now that it is completely deserted in ten or twenty miles here, and there are fewer people. It is not a thing to do if you want to open it. It is not a thing to get it for yourself.  The biggest difficulty is to get more people to work and then slowly expand the village.

    "Actually, the biggest gap now is labor force. Just rely on the four of them. I'm afraid they won't be able to produce much in the past half year. The combined labor force of these four families is less than ten, and the rest are small businesses.  Child." Xin Hu said worriedly.

    "Where do you think we can get people? To buy? Or what?" Dalang asked.

    "Buy? It's definitely not possible for the time being. We have to wait until the place is almost ready before we can buy people, right?" Xin Hu objected.  He doesn't even have a master, so buying some servants won't do much good.

    "That's good. I'll go to Cuizhu Village to see if I can persuade a few families to move here." Dalang thought for a long time and said.

    Cuizhu Village relied on him to sell bamboo utensils, and the life of the entire village was indeed much better.  It was precisely because of the bamboo utensils that Dalang remembered something. He planned to get some bamboo to plant.  If bamboo is produced locally, there is no need to go all the way to buy some daily necessities and bamboo utensils.  For example, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, baskets, etc.  These things are not worth much, but they are used by every household.  Therefore, he decided on Cuizhu Village.

    This idea was discussed with Xin Hu, who also agreed.  Although the bamboo utensils in Cuizhu Village are good, with such inconvenient transportation, it is definitely not as convenient as Xingfu Village having its own bamboo and bamboo utensils. Besides, it's not like they don't care about Cuizhu Village anymore.  I just want to develop an additional bamboo transportation road to reduce transportation costs.

    "To go to Cuizhu Village from here, it will take at least twenty days to go back and forth. If we can bring people here directly, I'm afraid it will take a month." Dalang said that he didn't want to take Xinhu there, but wanted to  Let her rest here, and someone needs to shake things up here.

    Xin Hu understood his concerns very well and said, "Then you can take A Zhi or A Xin with you. As long as I am here, you will be safe."bsp; These fragrant and steaming dishes attract everyone to drool as soon as they are served.

    "Don't worry, I'll eat with you. To be honest, you guys are lucky. My wife is a very good cook. Next time you come, you may not be able to eat well." Dalang smiled and said first  I moved my chopsticks and took a few bites of each dish.

    The people in the caravan then sat down, took out the wine they had brought, and ate with Dalang.

    "Oh, brother, your wife's cooking skills are really good. It's delicious, so delicious." Everyone praised loudly while eating.  These dishes are all made from real ingredients, especially the pot of stewed meat. The large pieces of meat fill the pot. The pot of meat weighs at least five kilograms. Everyone's mouths are filled with oil.  The steamed cured fish pieces, although they were cured fish, were brought out in two large plates.  Even these two methods are measured in pounds, so generous.

    An ordinary peasant woman would definitely not be able to cook such a dish. After all, the peasant families are very poor, so how can they eat such hard dishes?  Even during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to be so lavish. The leader of the caravan felt a little confident that this family was not poor and might live a good life.

    "That's right, my wife is very famous for her cooking skills. Our family has plenty of food, and she loves cooking. Let her prepare a few big dishes tomorrow for you to try." Dalang smiled and took a sip of wine.  Said very proudly.  It made everyone laugh.

    While everyone was eating, there was thunder outside.  After a while, it started to rain heavily. The big raindrops poured down and hit the window lattice. The strong wind almost knocked over the wine bowl. Dalang quickly got up and closed the window.

    "This rain is coming hard." The people in the caravan were secretly glad that they had a place to rest now.  Otherwise, if they were outside and it was raining like this, their goods would be in trouble in less than half an hour.

    "No. If it's midnight next night, I'm afraid you will have to stay with us for a day tomorrow. Fortunately, we brought back a wild boar two days ago, and we have enough meat tubes to eat in these two days." Dalang  explain.  It's raining too hard. He plans to go out tomorrow. It seems he will have to rest at home for two days.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
