Having spent so much time with Jiang Gu, Zhou Lan had become the person Jiang Gu trusted the most, almost to the point of adoration.
Seeing Zhou Lan stretch out on the other bed without a care, Jiang Gu finally relaxed and lying down on the bed like Zhou Lan
In this era, a hotel was merely a room with two beds. Forget about bathrooms, even public bathhouses were scarce.
But since they were traveling, they had to make do with what was available.
The family packed their things and lay down to sleep.
Jiang Gu and Zhou Lan were really tired. Even Jiang Chuan was exhausted after a long day of running around. Soon, the only sound in the room was the gentle rhythm of their breathing.
Before Jiang Xia went to sleep, she entered her interspace to take a look. As usual, she watered the fruits and vegetables planted in her interspace. She harvested what needed to be harvested and planted new seeds.
She looked at the rabbits she was raising, and a new idea came to her.
Since there were people who wanted the wild vegetables, perhaps the meat could be sold too?
The people in the city did not lack food stamps, but meat stamps were in short supply. In this era, there was no restriction on food. They would eat whatever they had. It was also possible for rich people to buy meat for a changed of pace.
Having made up her mind, Jiang Gu came out of the interspace, planning to discuss selling a couple of rabbits with Jiang Chuan tomorrow.
She slept soundly till morning.
As soon as she woke up in the morning, Jiang Xia told Jiang Chuan about her idea.
“Good idea. But who will we sell to? The hotel lady definitely won’t do.” They had the goods, but finding a way to sell it was what worried Jiang Chuan the most.
Jiang Xia thought about it and saw Zhou Lan pulling Jiang Gu out of bed.
Poor little girl had followed them around all day yesterday. She fell asleep as soon as she lye on the bed, and this morning, she was still struggling to wake up.
“Why don’t Mom and Jiang Gu explore the nearby area while Dad and I check elsewhere? We might just stumble upon a potential buyer. Besides, if we stick together all the time, not only will we tire ourselves out, we also won’t be very efficient.” Always the problem solver, Jiang Xia took charge of the situation.
“So, where should Mom and 1 go?” Jiang Gu asked, putting forward a concern that needed immediate resolution.
Jiang Xia thought about it in her mind. They had rushed to this hotel before it was dark last night. If she remembered correctly, this was a relatively developed area in the county. There seemed to be a shopping mail on the way.
That’s right! Let’s go there. Xiao Gu will definitely like it!
“How about Mom takes Xiao Gu to the shopping mall ahead to see if there’s anything we need? 1 still have ten yuan.”
“What is a shopping mall?” Jiang Gu asked curiously.
“It’s a place where there are lots of fun things and delicious food. Would you like to go and see?” Afraid of Jiang Gu’s resistance, our ‘idol’ Zhou Lan jumped into action.
“Can we go?” Jiang Gu asked cautiously. She was aware of their financial situation and knew that a trip to the shopping mall could cost quite a bit of money.
“Yes, we can. It’s alright if we don’t buy anything. Let’s just look around while we wait for your dad and sister to return.”
Understanding her mother’s intentions, the sensible Jiang Gu reluctantly agreed to accompany Zhou Lan to the shopping mall, despite not wanting to leave her sister and father.
Having agreed on their plans, the family set off in separate directions.
As they left, Jiang Xia changed into the clothes that Wang Ping had given her, and stowed the food and sugar they had traded for the previous day in a basket.
After walking a considerable distance, Jiang Xia put the food back into the interspace and took out two rabbits.
The father-daughter duo wandered for a while until they found an alley. Hoping to strike some luck, they decided to explore it.
Emerging from the alley, they came upon a district of single-story houses. Unlike the tidy ones near the hotel, these houses seemed older, probably constructed before the Liberation era.
When they reached the place, the father and daughter decided to find the right target and hit it in one shot.
Walking further into the single-story houses, they quickly spotted a particular residence.
The house was grand and imposing, with unusual steps leading to the entrance and two stone lions symbolizing high status. It was clearly no ordinary residence.
Seeing such a house, Jiang Xia’s mind flashed with the image of someone. However, she quickly put the thought aside, realizing she needed to focus on the task at hand.
Shaking off her distraction, Jiang Xia decided to give it a shot, successful or not.. She stepped up and knocked on the door, asking, “Is anyone home?”
