Second update, begging for pinks.

Making steamed buns and pickled vegetables is a must-do for tenant farmers come winter, but it's not the same in the city. Typically, people living in the city don't make their own buns or pickled vegetables; if they want some, they can easily buy them from outside vendors.
According to the old rule set by Lady Zhou of the Lian Family, every year in the twelfth lunar month, the best steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and a few slabs of frozen tofu must be prepared and sent to Lian Lanlan's household in Jinyang County Town. As Lady Zhou says, Lian Lanlan happens to have such a poor maternal family that there are no finer goods to offer, only these rustic items from the countryside.
