Chapter 177: Human Immortal Realm

given me some errands to attend to immediately."Liu Zhanggui took the opportunity to leave with Wang Fu, Wang Gui had no choice but to stay behind.Liu Zhanggui sent Wang Fu off, looking back at the ga...Mrs. Cui smiled even wider and took a bite.

Jiayin went to give some to her grandmother, mother, and aunt. Everyone was reluctant to eat it and only took a tiny bite.

Jia Yin only then sat down, hugging the chicken leg and biting into it. The flavor was so good that she wanted to bark with delight, her tail wagging happily behind her like a contented little fat dog.

Everyone looked, all laughing uncontrollably.

"This girl will never lose weight!"

"Just looking at this sweet food, I'm always a glutton."

Mrs. Cui called for Qiongsao to send the other roasted chicken to the west room for Li Laoer and Jia Ren and Jia Yi.

When Li Laotai and the others saw this, they were willing to help out, but they only ate some chicken skin and wings, leaving all the chicken meat for Jia Yin, their precious darling.

Li Lao Er and his friends were truly surprised, they never expected to have such a delicious dinner late at night. They were all overjoyed.

Two chicken legs were given to Jiaxi and Jian, the wings belonged to Jaren and Jiyi. Li Laoer's three brothers also just picked at the chicken skin and bones.

The moonlight of spring, seeping in through the window slits, bathed the family in a gentle, soft glow, warm and beautiful like a veil.

Over a thousand taels of silver were poured in, and the entire village was busy for over a month. The investment was huge, but the returns were equally gratifying.

SUIJIN TAN has changed completely, especially the valley between the two mountains.

From afar, the bottom of the valley looked like a large leaf, and the pond was like the fruit pressing down on the leaf.

The original small puddle has been expanded a lot, now it's about two mu in size. The bottom of the pond is paved with smooth stones and fine sand to ensure the clarity of the water.

On either side of the waterfall, several pipes as thick as sea bowls were built, each channeling the purest spring water to the small courtyards and wooden houses beside the waterway, ensuring that guests would use it with peace of mind.

Underneath the waterfall, the pool can also be opened up for activities like boating and swimming.

Each wooden hut and courtyard had a wooden boardwalk leading to the pond and beyond, with terracotta pipes lining the walkway like the veins of leaves.

On both sides of the mountains, lush and verdant, fruit trees stretch their branches eagerly, hoping to blossom and bear fruit soon.

And the wheat under the tree also stealthily jostled for space, wanting to bear a humble and drooping ear of grain when autumn arrived.

Especially in the morning, the hot spring mist pervades the air. The rising sun shines on the western mountain wall and reflects into the valley, creating a breathtakingly beautiful and otherworldly landscape.

Young Master Yan had grown thin and haggard from exhaustion, a far cry from the carefree young master he once was.

He wore coarse hempen clothes, rolled up his trousers and sleeves, his hair was disheveled, he had a biscuit in his mouth, and stood beside the village head, Zhao Shu and Li Lao Er, gesticulating excitedly.

"How is it, how is it! I told you I would build a paradise on Earth! Didn't I fool you!"

Everyone was stunned into silence for a moment, though they all saw it every day. To appreciate it so attentively was something new.

This is the hot spring valley built with all the village's strength and effort, isn't it

This will be their whole village's treasure chest from now on!

No wonder everyone is scrambling for it, a hot spring really can change your life!

The village head led the way in paying respects to Young Master Yan and the numerous craftsmen with sincerity.

"Many thanks to Sir Yan and all the masters for your hard work! Our village plans to carve a stone tablet at the entrance of the valley, with all your names inscribed upon it. As long as Broken Gold Beach exists, and the hot springs continue to flow, everyone will remember your contributions!"

Li Laoer and the others also nodded, "Indeed, such ingenuity, such a breathtakingly beautiful fairyland, it should be known to everyone that it was painstakingly crafted by someone."

"Yes, and Mr. Zhou, don't forget to add his name too."

The craftsmen all politely declined, but couldn't help but be delighted.

We're just here for the paycheck, no credit due.

“Yeah, we’re happy to see such good results.”

The village head occasionally turned his head, only to see Master Yan crouching down and biting into a pastry with tears falling like raindrops onto the ground.

He couldn't help but sigh, he really didn't understand what was going on with wealthy families. How could such a good child be looked down upon in every way

Young Master Yan has been at Suijin Beach for almost two months now, and none of his family members have come to visit him. They haven't even sent any food, drink, or supplies. It's truly heartless.

"Young Master Yan, if you don't mind, I can leave a room for you in our courtyard. You just come to play whenever you want and stay here. That...our village will always welcome you, make it your second home, how about that"

The village head patted Young Master Yan's back with his rough hand. Young Master Yan rubbed his face haphazardly, stood up and smiled, "Alright, old man, we've made an agreement!"

"Of course, Old Man can still fool you" The village head waved his hand boisterously and laughed at all the craftsmen, "From now on, when everyone comes to play, I won't charge any money."

Everyone burst into laughter and thanked him repeatedly. Though they might not come, just hearing this made them happy.

Soon, the artisans continued to finish up some small tasks, and the village head and Li La Er along with a few others began settling accounts. They were going to pay the artisans their wages, as well as settle accounts with the miscellaneous laborers from each village.

The craftsmen were still on strike, but the miscellaneous workers from each village were overjoyed. Whenever they had a break, they would gather around the villagers and chat idly.

"Brother, how much silver would it cost to take a bath in these hot springs"

"Yeah, quite a few people have been asking about it lately. It seems like those wealthy city dwellers will all be flocking here in the future."

"Yesterday, several carriages came asking!"

The villagers proudly and confidently replied, “We are new here and haven't established ourselves yet. We plan to not accept silver coins for now but instead will take grain as payment. For instance, if someone enters the village, they will have to give five catties of coarse grain or two catties of fine grain as an entrance fee. Of course, for meals, lodging, and other expenses afterward, additional silver money will be required.”

The laborers all envied, "If we had known that the rubble beach could really become a gold beach, we would have claimed it first."

"Well, that's enough. You just got lucky. There's no money to build it this well anyway."

"That's over a thousand taels of silver! Even if we sold everything we have, we couldn't come up with that much."

"Brother, we heard you came from the north by going through the mountains. You encountered wolf packs and bandits in the mountains Just hearing about it makes our legs go weak, how did you survive"

The villagers were even more excited and proud when they brought this up. “Don’t even mention it, we also came here with our heads held high. We almost got eaten by wolves that time, and almost everyone in our village was injured.”

"What about the bandits You actually dared to provoke them I heard they kill without hesitation!" A handyman questioned, his voice hushed as if afraid a bandit might suddenly appear.

The villagers burst into laughter. "What are you afraid of Bandits are people too, they don't have three heads or six arms. They are indeed quite ferocious though, and have killed a lot of people. Fortunately, our village is united, otherwise we would be finished."

The crowd laughed merrily, occasionally glancing at Li Lao Er and the others with hopeful eyes.

Soon, Li Lao Er calculated everyone's wages and paid them out. He also asked for the names of the craftsmen, planning to have them engraved on the stone tablet.

When it came to Young Master Yan's turn, the village head intended to give Young Master Yan eighty-eight taels of silver as payment, hoping for good luck. However, Young Master Yan refused absolutely.

When I came here, I said no pay. I just love building houses! Besides, the village head didn't give me a house It's half my home too, who charges for doing work around their own house

The villagers were unable to

and could only temporarily keep it for him, planning to wait for Lord Zhou to come over before speaking further.aps feeling insulted, the three started baring their teeth at the street vendor again.Zhao Yu-ru didn't dare to delay, she quickly bought two pieces of brand name (products).The peddler was very pleas...
