Chapter 266: Familiar face

Chapter 266 Familiar face

The viewer didn't say anything, he just looked at Gu Jinli and looked at her carefully.

This little girl is young and has not yet grown up, but she feels...familiar.

The viewer turned around, closed the lid of the medicine pot, turned and walked towards the mule, pointed to a basket on the mule and asked, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"

Gu Jinli trotted over, took out two bean dregs cakes, and handed them to the viewer: "They are bean dregs cakes made of soybeans and white flour. There are seasonings made from ground herbs in them. They are delicious. Please try them." "

Gu Jinli knew that she must look very bad at this time, but she worked hard to buy the land!

The viewer looked at Gu Jinli's flattering smile...the feeling of familiarity faded a bit. His eyes turned and fell on her clothes, where he saw a picture the size of a wine glass embroidered on her clothes.

The picture is embroidered with a small house. On the roof, a native dog is grinning and fighting with two birds. The embroidery is very vivid, as if it is alive.

Gu Jinli saw the viewer looking at the embroidered pictures on her clothes and said with a smile: "My sister embroidered this. The viewer likes it. I will bring you a few next time. What do you like? Is it a mountain scene or a forest scene?" Farmhouse picture?”

 “No need.” The viewer withdrew his gaze and put the bean dregs cake into the basket.

Gu Jinli hurriedly took out the jar of soybean oil from the basket and said: "Master, this is the soybean oil I made. It is made from soybeans. It is real vegetarian oil. I know that the masters who are practicing Qing Dynasty eat food without oil, so I brought it here specially." For the masters, please accept it."

The master of the temple said: "What I am practicing in the Qing Dynasty is the word "ku", and what I want to eat is food without oil."

Gu Jinli: "..." Master Guan, you are having a hard time trying to please me.

While Gu Jinli was searching for ways to please the contemplative master and let her descend to earth, the contemplative master said: "Keep all these things of yours, and we will also eat oily food."

Gu Jinli: "..." Master, you have changed too quickly!

“Hey, junior, I’ll move it down for you right now.” Gu Jinli smiled brightly, and he and Gu Daya moved everything off the mule.

 Two baskets were hung on both sides of the mule, and three boxes of tofu were placed on the back of the mule. The two of them used great strength to move the things down.

Gu Jinli opened the lid of the wooden box, lifted up the burlap, pointed at the white tofu inside and said: "Viewer, this is the tofu made at home. It is a fresh food. You put some soybean oil in it and fry it, and then add some seasonings. The taste will be better." Excellent. It can also be used to make stewed tofu. It’s a good dish anyway.”

She took off a small cloth bag from her waist and opened the bag: "These are the spices made by our family. They are all made from medicinal materials. Not only do they taste good, they are also good for the body. They can remove cold and dampness from the body. "

The master of the temple is someone who understands pharmacology. He grabbed some spices and ate them. After a while, he said: "There are cumin, cinnamon, and kaempferol... They are indeed medicinal materials. Eating them can drive away the cold."

"I have heard about your tofu and seasonings. They are sold in Daxing Town recently. They are indeed good things." The viewer turned around and walked to the medicine pot, took a wooden spoon, scooped out a spoonful of soybean oil, and tasted it. , said: "It is indeed made from beans, and it has the aroma of beans."

The visitor put down the spoon, looked at Gu Jinli, and asked: "Your family is fleeing from famine. How do you know how to make these new things? Is this a recipe passed down from your ancestors?"

Gu Jinli smiled and replied: "No, it was the grandparents and grandmothers who helped the victims on the road who told me."

 Did the victims on the road tell them?

The viewer looked at her face, then at the picture embroidered on her clothes, then turned to look at Gu Daya... This little girl doesn't look like her aunt, that is to say, this little girl should look like Inherited from her mother.

“The Lu family’s land has been through water and people have been burned to death. Are you willing to buy it?” asked the viewer.

Gu Jinli's eyes were bright and he nodded repeatedly: "I'm willing to do it. We don't believe in such things as ghosts and monsters."

 The viewer nodded: "In that case, Pindao can sell you some of the Lu family's land."

As long as the patron is willing to sell it, Gu Jinli will burn the incense: "Okay, how much the patron will sell is entirely up to the patron, but we need to be close to the other side of the road where we can open a shop and do business." But...

"Master Guan, does that piece of land belong to the Lu family or your Huyun Guan? You sold the land to me. The Lu family will not come to us to ask for it in the future." This must be asked clearly, otherwise it will be a troublesome matter in the future. .

"It used to be from the Lu family, but now it belongs to the Hu family temple in Huyun Temple." The temple owner replied again: "All the Lu family are dead."

 In fact, there is none, and the Huyun Temple was built here to wait for the descendants of the Lu family. However, the owner of the temple did not want to say more and only said to Gu Jinli: "I will go and get the land deed for you."

The viewer left the courtyard and didn’t know where he went. He came back half an hour later and handed Gu Jinli a land deed: "This is the land deed for twenty acres of land. Take it."

“Twenty acres! So much?” Gu Jinli was shocked.

"It's not much. The land plus the house totals sixty acres. Now I'm just selling you twenty acres of land near the road."

Gu Jinli was surprised again. He didn't expect the wasteland to be so big, but he said: "Master, shouldn't there be only one title deed for that piece of land? What about this one?"

The master of the temple said: "When my poor master was still alive, he changed the land deed and divided it into three. Each land deed has twenty acres of land. You can rest assured."

Gu Jinli was happy. After reading the land deed carefully, he put it away and asked the viewer: "How much does this land cost? I'm afraid it's not enough."

The viewer looked at her, a bit speechless. He had collected the land deeds and was afraid that he didn’t have enough money at this time... The viewer sighed and said, "Six taels of silver per acre, a total of one hundred and twenty taels."

 The price of one acre of paddy field is not expensive.

Gu Jinli smiled and narrowed his eyes, took out a one hundred tael silver note, plus twenty taels of broken silver, and handed it to the viewer: "You keep it."

The young woman who had been brewing medicine in the yard came over and collected the money.

"It's getting late, you go back." The host said to see off the guests.

"Hey, we're going back now." Gu Jinli responded, but still asked: "Guanzhu, I heard that many people wanted to buy the Lu family's land in the past, but Huyun Guan didn't sell it, why did you sell it to me? ?”

The master of the temple said: "Pindao looks at your face and feels comfortable."

Gu Jinli: "..." Did she succeed in getting rid of her face in ancient times? You can buy land based on your reputation.

“Master, the land of the Lu family is actually very popular. If you sell the land to us, someone will definitely come to you to buy the land in the future. What should we do then?”

Gu Jinli was very curious, how did the old patron send away the people who came to buy land?

 The temple owner was a little annoyed with her and said, "This is Huyun Temple's business, you don't have to worry about it."

Having said that, he ignored Gu Jinli and turned around to continue brewing the medicine.

 The little girl said: "Two donors, I will take you out along the path."
