After they left, the three Zhao brothers pulled Zhao Zhizhi into the main room and surrounded her nervously asking questions.

Zhao Yimu: "Zhizhi, where did you get so much food?"

Zhao Ermu: "Even if our family is completely plundered, we still don't have that much food!"

Zhao Sanmu said nothing, but looked at Zhao Zhizhi with worry.

Zhao Zhizhi had already thought of an excuse: "Brothers, don't worry, I have been collecting herbs in the mountains these days. I was lucky enough to pick a Ganoderma lucidum, so I exchanged it for grain and rice."

Ganoderma lucidum has extraordinary medicinal effects. The older the Ganoderma lucidum, the more valuable it is. Rich people will even pay tens of thousands of gold to buy it.

The three brothers of the Zhao family knew nothing about medicine. Even if they had doubts about this statement, they could not find any doubts about it and could only choose to believe it.

When delivering food to Wei Shao at noon, he said suddenly, "Where did you find the food?"

He was not a meddlesome person, but he took Zhao Zhizhi to the government office last night. When she came back, she obviously didn't take anything, but she suddenly brought out so much food. It was really rare.

Zhao Zhizhi knew that it would be difficult to deceive him, and the matter of space could not be exposed, so he simply said bluntly: "Young hero, everyone has secrets that cannot be told. All you need to know is that I got these grains through my own efforts. , I can’t comment on anything else.”

After hearing this, Wei Shao understood it in his heart and asked no more questions.

"By the way, I don't have a clue about the poison on your body yet. However, if you trust me, you can let me try."

As a doctor, Zhao Zhizhi is naturally interested in some strange and strange diseases.

Wei Shao was very vigilant. The poison in his body had indeed been present for many years as he said. Doctors from all over the country could not cure it.

Although he hadn't given up yet, he had given up hope. When he heard these words, he just raised his eyelids and said lightly: "Let's talk about it later."

When encountering an uncooperative patient, even if the doctor has the ability to change the situation, there is nothing he can do.

Zhao Zhizhi decided to do business first.

There is plenty of food, and the inventory in the space will save their family from having to worry about it for at least three to five years.

But she knew the severity of the famine. Although she had never experienced it, she could imagine the cruelty of that time from the words in the book. She could not survive with just food.

Zhao Zhizhi didn't waste any time and hurriedly called Zhao Yimu, carrying two small baskets of grain and leftover bacon from hunting, preparing to go to the market in the town.

The journey to the market is not far, it takes about two sticks of incense to get there.

Zhao Zhizhi decided not to hire a cart when he went there. Since the brother and sister were very strong, if they got a lot of things when they came, they would hire a mule cart.

Walking onto the street, Zhao Zhizhi found that the situation here was completely different from what she had imagined.

Most of the shops in the market were closed and gone, and some of the remaining merchants wanted to leave, but they couldn't bear to part with their goods, so they thought of transporting the goods first before escaping.

The entire street was so sparsely populated that there were spider webs everywhere, and it looked extremely desolate.

After finally finding a grocery store that was still closed, Zhao Zhizhi hurriedly pulled Zhao Yimu and ran over.

The boy guarding the shop was surprised to see someone coming. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and very few people go out to buy things. They either flee, or they just muddle along with their own food.

Zhao Zhizhi put the things in his hands on the ground and asked the man directly, "Do you have any wind-resistant clothing?"

The clerk nodded and said, "Sometimes, but it's twice as expensive as before. Are you sure you want it?"

Zhao Zhizhi frowned, and her habit of bargaining made her unable to help but say:

"Looking at your store, your boss is not in a hurry to leave even if he wants to come. Why are they still so expensive?"

The guy smiled bitterly and sighed:

"Young lady, you don't know. Our master just bought a batch of goods a few months ago. The reason why he didn't leave now is to get some money back."

Zhao Zhizhi nodded, which is understandable, "You can talk about the price."

The clerk opened his mouth and said, "If you want to get a piece of wind-resistant clothing, it will cost you five taels of silver. If you get more, I can give you a discount."

"Fifty taels of silver!" Zhao Zhizhi was shocked. Before she came, the family had only saved twenty or thirty taels of silver by cheating the villagers for so many years.

Zhao Zhizhi, who had other plans, gritted his teeth and could only discuss it with his clerk: "How about I exchange grain and rice with you for clothes?"

The guy opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Are you serious?"

Zhao Zhizhi didn't waste any time and threw a bag of rice on the table. "I want to exchange it for a set of wind-resistant clothes. Can I exchange it?"

The clerk didn't even need to ask the boss for his opinion, he just agreed, "Girl, wait a minute, I'll get you some clothes now."

After saying that, he was afraid that Zhao Zhizhi would regret it, so he turned around and ran to the second floor. He only heard a clanging sound coming from upstairs, and came down after a while.

Zhao Zhizhi touched the wind-resistant clothing made of thick fur in his hands. It was of excellent quality and warmth.

Without saying a word, he asked the waiter to wrap it up, threw down a bag of rice and left.

Zhao Yimu followed behind, very puzzled by his little sister's behavior:

"Zhizhi, everyone is hoarding food now, why are you still replacing it?"

It wasn't that he felt sorry for the food. Ever since he saw a roomful of food that day, he had no doubts about his little sister's ability.

Furthermore, even if he didn't like what Zhao Zhizhi wanted to do, he wouldn't stop her. He would only help her clean up the mess.

Zhao Zhizhi looked at the location of the blacksmith shop and explained to Zhao Yimu:

"Brother, if it doesn't rain and the crops fail, we will have to flee sooner or later."

"If we encounter bad weather, sudden illness, or bandits blocking our way during our escape, it will be useless no matter how much food we have."

Zhao Yimu understood and praised Zhao Zhizhi for his foresight.

The blacksmith shop is a little more convenient than the grocery store. They are all rough people. Zhao Yimu can speak well. He exchanged two large pieces of bacon for five or six fine iron tools.

The most important thing is medicinal materials, but all the medicine shops in the market are closed without exception.

Just when Zhao Zhizhi was worried, a resident on the street who followed him from the blacksmith shop hurriedly stood up and said, "You two want to buy medicinal materials, right?"

Zhao Zhizhi observed this person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He was not half as big as her, but he looked a bit mean and had a mole on his chin that was as big as a fingernail.

Zhao Yimu came forward with an iron tool that glowed with cold light. The man was trembling with fear, but he still stubbornly refused to leave and stammered:

"Girl, strong, strong man. I am an ordinary resident on the street, my surname is Wen Liu. I happened to meet two of you looking for a medicine shop. There is a traveler living next to my house. Would you like to come with me?"

Zhao Zhizhi: "What do you want?"

Wenliu rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile: "The girl is really smart and has a delicate heart. Taking you two there is just a trivial matter, but if you can give me some food, I will be very grateful."
