When Gu Jinzhi first moved in, she was busy packing her luggage and tidying up the house. Now that everything is ready, she wants to do something else.
"We orphans and a widow have some savings, but we can't just sit there and eat it all. Our two acres of land... I really can't cultivate it. I'm thinking of renting it out to someone else to farm. Otherwise, we can't just leave it empty. Aunt and Sister Yuefang, is there anything you can do?"
Mrs. Ling and Chu Yuefang were not surprised to hear this.
Although Gu Jinzhi never said where she came from or what she did in the past, she had a slim figure, fair skin, long and slender fingers, and long and white nails. No matter how you looked at her, she didn't look like someone who could work.
Although Chu Yuefang is also beautiful, you can see at a glance that her arms are very strong, which is completely different from Gu Jinzhi's conditions.
It seems impossible to imagine Gu Jinzhi farming.
It's not impossible to rent out this land...
"There is a way. The Liang family is definitely the one that needs the most land. They sell steamed buns and pies and so on, so they are the most in need of land. If you want to rent it out, it would be most appropriate to rent it to the Liang family." said Old Mrs. Ling.
Although every household in Huaihe Village has land, not every family can grow wheat or harvest flour, and even if they have flour, they may not be willing to make white flour buns.
At this time, the steamed bun shop is very important. You can occasionally exchange grain for some steamed buns to eat without feeling bad, and it also saves the effort of kneading dough and steaming buns at home.
The Liang family not only has white flour buns, but also date flour buns and corn flour buns. Occasionally they also bake some pies and make some buns to sell. They buy whatever they can get.
"So there's a steamed bun shop here? That's great," Gu Jinzhi said. She hadn't known there was a place selling steamed buns. She had seen Mrs. Ling and her family steaming their own buns before and had thought they didn't sell any. "Then, could you please talk to me about it? I'm not very familiar with this place..."
After all, Gu Jinzhi had just arrived, and she felt a little embarrassed to talk to others directly about leasing land, especially since she only had two acres, which was not a lot.
It's a bit difficult to say.
Mrs. Ling didn't think too much about it and simply nodded: "What's the big deal? No problem. How about this, I'll take you there now. The Liang family's steamed bun shop is not far away."
"This is really troublesome, auntie..."
Mrs. Ling waved her hand and said, "I told you before, we are from the same village, and we are neighbors across the street. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. There is no need to be polite about such a small matter."
After saying this, he stood up, told Chu Yuefang to stay and look after the children, and then he went out with Gu Jinzhi.
It’s good that both of them are here now, otherwise Mrs. Ling would definitely not feel at ease leaving alone.
The previous incident of Xiao Linglong being accidentally injured was considered an accident, but before that, Xiao Linglong and Long Sheng had sneaked away when no one was paying attention.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
What's more, such an accident has already happened twice. If it happens a third time, Mrs. Ling's heart will definitely not be able to bear it.
After leaving the Ling family, Mrs. Ling took Gu Jinzhi to the Liang family's steamed bun shop.
Gu Jinzhi was still unfamiliar with Huaihe Village, so she followed closely behind.
The Liang family's steamed bun shop is three or four blocks away from the Ling family's yard, and it only takes about six or seven minutes to walk there.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a huge brown wooden sign on the wall at the entrance of the courtyard. There was a round shape drawn on it with a black pen, which was obviously the shape of a steamed bun.
The Liang family’s steamed bun shop is here.
