But as soon as she put the mutton on the shelf, a tortilla was stuffed into her mouth.

It's a small purse.

"Mom, you should eat too—"

"Mmm, okay, okay, Mom will eat."

Yan Xia had just swallowed the tortilla in her mouth when, good heavens, another tortilla was stuffed into her mouth.

It's wrapped with osmanthus flowers.

"Mom, you eat first, let's each have a piece."

"Okay, Mother will eat too."

Just like that, one piece on the left, one piece on the right.

All her children gave her the first piece.

Yan Xia was fed until she was about 50% full.

The family was enjoying a barbecue in the yard, with smoke rising from the chimney and the aroma of lamb skewers wafting through the village on the evening breeze.

No one could eat the wild vegetable porridge and brown rice porridge in their bowls.

"Who's cooking pork? It smells so good! It's terrible. Couldn't they have cooked it later? How am I supposed to eat this?"

Aunt Big Mouth was so angry that she wanted to throw down her bowl and chopsticks again.

But her rumbling stomach forced her to finish the bowl of brown rice porridge in front of her.

He was grumbling and cursing as he ate.

"Yan Hecheng didn't even bother to send any meat, just some worthless coarse rice. No wonder Yan Xia was treated so badly by the Chen family. Her father and mother don't care about her. Bah, a whole family of lowly scum, poor bastards!"

The night gradually deepened.

The Yan family's barbecue feast has come to a successful conclusion.

Everyone ate until their bellies were round and full.

Yan Xia felt that she was at least 120% full tonight.

I'm so full.

The family, who were so full, walked around the yard for half an hour before they felt a little better.

"Alright, go to sleep early."

The mother made a statement.

The group obediently returned to their house.

Time flies, and soon the shop had been open for more than ten days.

Yan Xia made a fortune.

She now has over four hundred taels of silver in her pocket.

"Mother, I'm going to the outhouse. Go check what's in front of me."

"OK."

Yan Xia handed the two stoves to her daughter, then got up and went to the front of the shop.

Business isn't as good as it was when we first opened. After deducting costs, we can only make about twenty taels a day.

She went up the mountain twice during that time, but did not find any dendrobium flowers or lilies.

The store offers only a limited selection of products, including flower cakes and peach shortbread.

Customers will eventually get tired of the same thing.

If it's just for gifting, her store is still the first choice.

At this point, they're almost sold out; there are only three people queuing in the shop.

We all know each other.

They are chatting.

"Brother Deng, have you sold your land yet?"

"No, they all want to sell them piecemeal. I refuse to sell them; it's such a hassle. It's only a hundred acres after all. Let's see. If they can't be sold by the end of this month, I'll sell them piecemeal."

“A hundred acres is no small amount of money. If I weren’t short of cash right now, I would have bought it.”

"Oh, you want to buy it? I'll save it for you. How about 480 taels for 100 mu? I'd sell it to someone else for 500 taels."

"Haha, stop joking, Brother Deng. You know my family's situation. If it were ten or eight acres, I would buy it. So, Brother Deng, let me know when it's time to sell it, and I'll definitely be the first to act."

The man addressed as Brother Deng looked to be about the same age as Yan Xia.

He was dressed in a brown brocade robe, and a high-quality jade pendant hung at his waist.

They look like rich people.

"Sir, do you have land to sell? Where is it located?"

Yan Xia became interested.

She happened to have some money on hand but didn't know how to spend it.

Since it's just sitting there anyway, why not use it to make more money?

A hundred acres of farmland! If you buy it and rent it out, wouldn't you become a landlord?

"Oh, shopkeeper, are you looking to buy land?"

Yan Xia nodded repeatedly.

"I'm somewhat interested, but I don't know where it is."

"It's that piece of land outside the city gate. There's a village there called Shoucheng Village. My land is a full hundred acres, all contiguous, and it's all top-quality, first-class farmland. If I weren't moving in September, I really wouldn't want to sell it. But I can't make money here, sigh..."

Deng Qiuzhi shook his head.

Shuangqiao Town is too remote.

His family owns three shops, and all of them are losing money.

I had no choice but to close down my business and go to my wife's family home at the end of the year to make a living. My son was studying there, and there was a famous academy there. If I could get in, I would definitely get the title of Xiucai (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations).

For his son's sake, he only dared to register the shop under his cousin's name.

What's a short journey of learning?

"Oh, I see. Could you take me to see it later?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jin Fu finished using the restroom, and then he casually brought out the last batch of freshly baked peach shortbread.

After being divided among the three people.

The shop is about to close.

Yan Xia simply took her two children and went with Deng Qiuzhi to look at the land.

It's still early.

The group walked there.

After crossing the twin bridges, you will arrive at the city gate. Once you exit the gate, walk for another ten minutes or so to the right.

We arrived at the entrance of Shoucheng Village.

From the entrance of the village to the end, every villager along the way bowed and scraped before Deng Qiuzhi.

"Good afternoon, Landlord Deng!"

"Um."

A few people came up to greet him, and although Deng Qiuzhi was indifferent, he still responded.

This village is not located near a mountain, and it is not a large village.

It only takes ten minutes to walk from one end of the village to the other.

However, the land at the end of the village was very vast, and not a single crop was planted in the fields on the right.

"Shopkeeper, this is the land. Whether you buy it and farm it or rent it out, it's none of my business. For convenience, I didn't rent it out this spring."

No wonder it's empty.

Yan Xia squatted down and casually pinched a handful of soil.

The mud was black, and the soil was very fertile, unlike any other place she had ever been on, her family's wasteland.
