After a brief day of rest, Liu Ji took his living expenses and hurried back to the academy.
Once again, it was Qin Yao who took him to Jinshi Town, and then he traveled to the county on his own.
On her return trip, Qin Yao bought a lot of daily necessities and inquired in the town if there was any land for sale.
Land is the most important asset for common folks, and generally, people would rather not sell unless they're at their wit's end.
Because she frequently bought meat, and each purchase was at least two pounds, the butcher in town already recognized Qin Yao. Hearing that she was inquiring about land for sale, he advised her to go to the county's pawnshop directly.
"But be careful, those clerks at the pawnshop are very shrewd; be careful not to be deceived by them," the butcher warned.
Qin Yao hadn't considered pawnshops as a means for buying land, so she curiously asked, "Aren't pawnshops supposed to deal in pawned items? Do they sell land too?"
