The temple master didn’t speak, just looked at Gu Jinli, examining her closely. This young girl was quite young and her features were not yet fully mature, but she gave her a sense of familiarity. The temple master turned back, covered the pot of medicine, and then walked towards the mule, pointing to a basket on the mule and asking, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?" Gu Jinli hurried over, took out two bean dregs cakes, and handed them to the temple master, "These are made from soybeans and wheat flour, with ground herbs as seasoning, very delicious. Temple master, please try some." Gu Jinli knew she must appear very servile at the moment, but in order to buy the land, she was all in! The temple master looked at Gu Jinli’s ingratiating smile... The feeling of familiarity faded somewhat, then she shifted her gaze to the clothes Gu Jinli wore, noticing an embroidery about the size of a wine cup on her clothing. The embroidery depicted a small house with a dog on the roof, baring its teeth and fighting with two birds, vividly stitched as if it were alive. Seeing the temple master look at the embroidery on her clothes, Gu Jinli laughed and said, "This was embroidered by my sister. If the temple master likes it, I’ll bring a few more next time. What do you prefer? Scenery of mountains and forests or rural scenes?" "No need," the temple master withdrew her gaze and placed the bean dregs cakes back in the basket. Gu Jinli quickly took out a jar of bean oil from the basket, "Temple master, this is bean oil I made from soybeans, real vegetable oil. Knowing that the masters eat vegetarian and oil-free meals, I specifically brought this for the masters. Please accept it." The temple master said, "Our ascetic lifestyle is about simplicity, and the foods we eat are without oil." Gu Jinli: "..." Temple master, you’re a bit difficult to please. As Gu Jinli was racking her brains on how to ingratiate herself with the temple master, the temple master said, "Leave all these things behind, we will also try meals with oil." Gu Jinli: "..." Temple master, you change your mind too quickly! "Eh, I’ll move them down for you right now," Gu Jinli said gleefully, and together with Gu Daya, moved everything down from the mule. Two baskets hung from either side of the mule, three boxes of tofu were placed on its back, and it took a lot of effort for the two to move everything down. Gu Jinli lifted the lid of a wooden box, lifted a coarse cloth, and pointed to the white tofu inside, "Temple master, this is tofu made in our home, a fresh food. You can fry it with some bean oil and add some seasonings, it tastes very good. It can also be used to make stewed tofu, overall a great dish." She untied a small cloth pouch from her waist, opened it, "This is the seasoning made in our home, all made from medicinal herbs, not only tasty but also beneficial for the body, can expel the cold and dampness from the body." The temple master, knowledgeable in herbology, took some of the seasoning and tasted it, after a while, said, "There’s fennel, cinnamon, cardamom... indeed all medicinal herbs, eating this can dispel cold." "Your tofu and seasonings, I’ve heard about them, recently they are sold in Daxing Town, indeed good stuff." The temple master walked to the side of the medicine pot, took a wooden spoon, scooped a spoonful of bean oil, and tasted it, "Indeed oil made from beans, with a fragrance of beans." The temple master put down the spoon and looked at Gu Jinli, asking, "Your family fled here due to famine, how did you come to know how to make these fresh items? Is it a recipe passed down from your ancestors?" Gu Jinli smiled in reply, "No, it was the elder grandpas and grandmas among the disaster-stricken people we helped on the road who told me." Was it told by the disaster-stricken people on the road? The temple master looked at her face, then at the embroidery on her clothes, turned her head to look at Gu Daya... this young girl didn’t look like her aunt, that meant, this girl’s features must resemble her mother’s. "The land owned by the Lu Family has been waterlogged, and it has claimed lives previously, does your family still want to buy it?" the temple master asked. Gu Jinli’s eyes sparkled, nodding repeatedly: "Willing, willing. We don’t believe in those demons and ghosts." The temple master nodded: "If that’s the case, I can sell a portion of the Lu Family’s land to you." Gu Jinli, as long as the temple master was willing to sell, she was grateful: "Good, sell as much as you decide, but we want the part near the main road, where we can open a shop and do business." "Temple master, is that land really the Lu Family’s or is it the Hu Yun Temple’s? If you sell the land to me, will the Lu Family People come to us later demanding it?" It’s necessary to ask clearly, otherwise it will be a trouble later. "It used to belong to the Lu Family, but now it belongs to Mrs. Hu, the temple master of Hu Yun Temple." The temple master added another sentence: "All Lu Family People have died." Actually not, and Hu Yun Temple was built here to wait for the descendants of the Lu Family, but the temple master did not wish to elaborate, only saying to Gu Jinli: "I will fetch the land deed for you." The temple master left the courtyard, not knowing where he had gone, and only returned after half an hour, handing Gu Jinli a land deed: "Here is a deed for twenty acres of land, take good care of it." "Twenty acres! That’s a lot?" Gu Jinli was astonished. "Not a lot. That land, along with the residence, totals sixty acres. Now, it is merely to sell twenty acres near the main road to you." Gu Jinli was again surprised, not expecting that wasteland to be so large. However, "Temple master, shouldn’t there be only one land deed for that land? What about this one?" The temple master said: "In his lifetime, my master had modified the land deed, dividing it into three, each deed for twenty acres. You can be assured." Gu Jinli was pleased, carefully examined the land deed and tucked it away, asking the temple master: "How much for this land? I’m afraid I might not have enough money." The temple master looked at her, somewhat at a loss for words, the deed was already taken, and now saying she might not have enough money... The temple master sighed, saying: "Six taels of Silver per acre, totaling one hundred and twenty taels." The price of one acre of paddy field, not expensive. Gu Jinli squinted happily, took out a silver note of one hundred taels, and added twenty taels of broken silver, handing them to the temple master: "Please keep it safe." The young female Daoist who had been brewing medicine in the courtyard came over and received the Silver Coin. "It is getting late, you should return," said the temple master in a gesture of seeing off. "Ah, we will go back now," Gu Jinli responded, yet still asked: "Temple master, I heard that there were many people wanting to buy Lu Family’s land before, and Hu Yun Temple didn’t sell. Why did you sell it to me?" The temple master said: "I looked at your face and felt comforted." Gu Jinli: "..." Did she just successfully charm with her face in ancient times? Buying land with a face, this could work. "Temple master, the Lu Family’s land is actually very popular, if you sell the land to us, there will definitely be people looking to buy land from you later, what should we do then?" Gu Jinli was very curious, how did the Old Temple Master deal with those who came to buy the land back then? The temple master was somewhat annoyed by her, saying: "This is Hu Yun Temple’s matter, you don’t need to worry." Saying this, he no longer paid attention to Gu Jinli and turned to continue brewing medicine. The young girl said: "Sirs, I will lead you out."
