The Legend of the Extraordinaries Chapter 7: Rent collection in Fenglin Village
Master Zengli sits cross-legged on the kang with a string of rosary beads in his hand. He uses a string of 108 rosary beads, and he lowers his head to silently recite the mantra.
The mantras he chanted can already be virtualized, one by one, with a faint golden glow, appearing out of thin air, and then put into the rosary, it looks very magical.
Mi Xiaojing didn't dare to bother, but just stood and watched Master Zeng Li recite the mantra.
Master Zengli, who is already in his sixties, is in good spirits, with two jet-black silken eyebrows, a pair of gleaming eyes, and his body is also a patchwork patchwork shirt. Although sitting and reciting the mantra, his back is straight.
For a moment, Master Zeng Li raised his head.
"Mi Xiaojing, today I am going to Fenglin Village to collect rent, and you will also go with you. Go back and prepare. We will live in Fenglin Village for two days."
Mi Xiaojing was in a daze, he was puzzled.
"Uncle, rent collection is not the responsibility of the Supervisory Court, why should we go?"
"You don't need to ask these things, if you ask you to go, you go."
"Yes, uncle."
Master Zengli fiddled with the Yanzhu in his hand.
"In the past few days, a caravan will go to Fenglin Village. Some of your mountain products can be brought to exchange for something."
Mi Xiaojing suddenly overjoyed, caravan! In Xiyanmen, it’s really hard to see caravans. Generally, there is hope in autumn, because in autumn, caravans will enter the village to buy food. At this time, every family has food, which can be exchanged for some daily necessities. There are groceries or something.
Going to Fenglin Village to collect rent is actually a good deal for the Xiyanmen Yanxiu.
Mi Xiaojing left immediately and hurried back to his room. He collected a lot of mountain products.
Mi Xiaojing took a total of two large baskets of mountain products, including many pecans, hazelnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, dried mushrooms, and a small amount of dried wild vegetables. I left it for my own use.
There are a total of eight bullock carts, two of which are piled up with wild products, both of which are senior brothers and apprentices of Mi Xiaojing, and some are wild products collected by long-term workers and hired workers. They bring more things, including a lot of game. , Dry cured smoked meat, air-dried chicken and duck.
a total of more than a dozen people went there. Master Zeng Li led the team, and several disciples from the prison, Mi Xiaojing also sat in the bullock cart.
Fenglin Village relies on Xiyanmen for survival. The land here is cultivated by the masters of Xiyanmen, and then leased to the villagers for growing. The rent is collected every year. The entire village is actually from the west. Tenants and permanent workers in Yanmen.
Xiyanmen's development is not only to collect rent, but also to protect the safety of the villagers. Every winter, wild beasts such as wolves or tigers and leopards appear in Xishan and Jingshan, and there are even terrible spirit beasts. Villagers must protect them from Xiyanmen.
In the spring of each year, Xiyanmen will send Yanxiu to cultivate new land. In addition to planting it by itself, it will also be rented out to villagers.
Every fall, when the crops are ripe, the tenant households in Fenglin Village reap the harvest, and after half a month, it is the day when Xiyanmen collects rent.
Xiyanmen is located at the foot of the West Mountain, opposite to Jingshan. A small river flows through the gate, along the valley floor of Xishan and Jingshan. Lin Village passes through and converges to Jingxi Lake, this small river is also called Jingxi.
Along the dirt road beside Jingxi, eight ox carts bumped all the way, and after about an hour, they came to Fenglin Village.
At the entrance of Fenglin Village, there is an ancient maple tree that has grown for a thousand years. By this time, it is all red, like a huge torch, erected at the entrance of the village.
The old village head brought a group of young men to greet him at the entrance of the village. He came to Master Zeng Li and bowed his bow.
"Masters have worked hard, everyone has worked hard."
Master is the honorary name, and the same is true for master. Ordinary people call Yanxiu, and most of them use master or master.
Everyone followed the bullock cart, directly into the village, and then into the village chief’s house.
The village chief’s home is the largest in Fenglin Village. He was originally the agent launched by Xiyanmen. He is a good-for-nothing person in Fenglin Village. New villagers who want to be long-term workers and tenant tenants must be The village chief vouched that otherwise he would not be able to be a tenant and long-term worker in Xiyanmen.
The village chief’s house is divided into the front yard and the back yard. There are two houses in total, with one bright and two dark rooms, with a bright hall in the middle and a dark room with two compartments. The front yard is large and the back yard is occupied by family members.
The front yard is actually a rent-collecting yard. Eight ox carts go in. The inside is very spacious. There is a barn along the courtyard wall. The cattle in the ox cart rush to the barn, and someone specially cuts the forage to feed.
The mountain goods were also unloaded and placed in the wing. When the caravan arrived, they could exchange for the needed goods.
The village chief’s mother-in-law greeted them graciously, and set up a large table in the front yard to enshrine these masters for dinner.
Mi Xiaojing sat at the dinner table with a few brothers early. For them, this meal was definitely better than the food in Xiyanmen. Mi Xiaojing was also pitiful. He lived 13 years old, but I haven't eaten any good food. If the rent is collected this time, if it weren't for Master Zeng Li, he would not be eligible to come to ~IndoMTL.com~ He is not a disciple of the Superintendent.
white noodle buns, thin hand-rolled noodles, topped with a layer of red spicy oil, and a layer of chopped green garlic, braised eggplant in oil, fried peanuts in oil, pan-fried tofu, and fried pickled vegetables with edamame, although they are all vegetable oil Burned, but in Xiyanmen, where can I see such oily vegetables?
A bunch of masters went crazy. They were all big-bellied men. Even Mi Xiaojing was extremely edible. In a few moments, a table of food was wiped out.
Master Zengli ate very little. He ate two steamed buns and didn’t eat any dishes. He couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing as his disciples were eating. This kind of food was cultivated to his level. He couldn't be tempted anymore. He had a profound cultivation base, and he could resist the temptation of delicious food.
Mi Xiaojing almost didn’t eat his tongue, but his nature was good, and he soon realized that this is not good for cultivation, so after eating, he kept chanting mantras to suppress the temptation of food on him .
As far as Mi Xiaojing is concerned, as long as it is not unpalatable, food or something is the floating clouds in the sky. Once you have experienced it, you will not be tempted in the future.
Of course, the food really strikes, Mi Xiaojing actually doesn't know if he can resist it, anyway, if I have repented and repented, I feel at ease.
The rent is collected in the afternoon. They are all big buckets. After they are weighed, they are poured into big bamboo baskets, and the baskets are placed on the ground.
In fact, the tenants collected in Xiyanmen are not heavy. The average tenants eat better than the masters in Xiyanmen because they can eat meat. They usually raise chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs, and some even Going up to the Xishan Trail to hunt in the mountains, the masters of Xiyanmen are suffering.
