Her series of operations were so smooth that even Xiao Yihao, who had seen Jiang Chuyue's strange methods before, couldn't help but be curious, "How did you get Zhang San and the others to listen to your arrangements so obediently?"

Jiang Chuyue blinked innocently, "I don't know. I just gave them a bag of food and a piece of meat, and they happily helped me carry the things back."

Looking at Jiang Chuyue who just talked nonsense, Xiao Yihao knew that it was impossible to hear Jiang Chuyue give a reasonable and correct explanation, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Chuyue was also busy arranging the food that was sent back one by one. Although she didn't know how much medicinal herbs the villagers could bring back on the first day, it would always be no problem to prepare them in advance.

Although Aunt Zhang and Wu Gang didn't know anything about medicinal herbs, they were still capable of doing physical work. After helping Jiang Chuyue stack all the food neatly, Aunt Zhang was still a little worried.

"Sister Jiang, you bought so much food. It may not be safe at night." Nowadays, almost every household in Wanshan Village does not have much food. Jiang Chuyue's family, who has stored so much food at home, will definitely become a popular commodity in everyone's eyes.

For the sake of stuttering, in order to survive, no one knows what will happen, even bleeding is possible.

"Or, Sister Jiang, why don't you deliver the food to my house? You have two children, and your husband..." Aunt Zhang thought about it again and again, but still couldn't help but raise this suggestion to Jiang Chuyue.

Knowing that Aunt Zhang meant well, Jiang Chuyue patted Aunt Zhang on the shoulder and said, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, no one dares to touch these grains."

As long as people knew that they could collect herbs and exchange them for food, or even money, Jiang Chuyue didn't have to do anything, as those who collected herbs would help her protect the food.

These foods are their hope for the survival of their family this winter, and they will not sit idly by and watch these foods being snatched away.

When people are at their wits' end, they may indeed take desperate risks, but now that they can make money by collecting medicinal herbs, no one would want to take such risks.

As a killer, Jiang Chuyue had received various special trainings. If Jiang Chuyue had not learned well the course on how to provoke and manipulate people's emotions and thoughts, I am afraid that he would have been dug out and eliminated while lurking before the action.

Seeing Jiang Chuyue say this, although Aunt Zhang didn't understand where she got the confidence from, she didn't say anything more.

……

Everything is in place, waiting for the villagers who went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs to return.

In order to ensure that she had enough energy, Jiang Chuyue even ate a big bowl of rice before they came back. However, they didn't expect that she would have to wait until dark.

Seeing that no villagers had returned so far, Jiang Chuyue could no longer sit still. She stood up, picked up her small hoe, and planned to go up the mountain to check the situation.

When we reached the entrance of the village, we saw a group of villagers led by Aunt Wang, their trouser legs covered in mud, walking back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Before Jiang Chuyue could speak, the sharp-eyed Aunt Wang spotted her first and trotted over excitedly.

"Sister Jiang, we found a large area of ​​medicinal herbs today. Take a quick look. Is this the one you mentioned today called...Bupleurum?"

Jiang Chuyue looked carefully. Although it was late, she could still see that Aunt Wang had returned with a basket of medicinal herbs.

He quickly called them back home and asked them to pour out all the herbs and arrange them according to categories. Then Jiang Chuyue personally checked them out and calculated the quantity and preciousness of the herbs each person had dug up.

The most common ones among them are Bupleurum and the common Plantain and Ophiopogon. Seeing that everyone returned with full loads, Jiang Chuyue couldn't help but smile along with their joy.

"Aunt Wang, you dug up a lot of medicinal herbs today!" Jiang Chuyue chatted while quickly calculating the value of each person's herbs.

In order to avoid disputes, I made it clear to everyone.

After saying so many words suddenly, Jiang Chuyue couldn't help feeling a little dry in the mouth, but seeing that everyone was obviously tired after a day's work and everyone had bright and happy eyes, Jiang Chuyue decided to distribute the food to everyone first.

"If you think it's okay, please line up and come to get food. I have rice, flour, cornmeal and potatoes. You can take a look and see what you want to exchange."

After Jiang Chuyue directed everyone to line up, she sat down. Grabbing the scale on the table, Jiang Chuyue looked at Aunt Wang who was at the first in line.

She said with a smile, "Aunt Wang, the herbs you dug today are worth about forty-seven copper coins. Let me see what you want. If you want copper coins, that's also possible." Jiang Chuyue held the brush, and for the sake of convenience, she simply held the brush in the normal way of modern times, and wrote down the value of Aunt Wang's herbs and her name.

Aunt Wang chose cornmeal and potatoes without hesitation, as these two things were the cheapest and could be exchanged for more food shares.

Jiang Chuyue said that after giving Aunt Wang enough food, she asked Aunt Wang to put a fingerprint on her name, and the deal was completed.

The same thing happened next. When Jiang Chuyue, who was busy as a whirlwind, didn't notice, Xiao Yihao calmly placed a bowl of water on the table.

Jiang Chuyue didn't even bother to see who brought it. She grabbed the bowl, drank it all, and continued to be busy.

After giving out the food that everyone wanted and watching the last person put their handprint, Jiang Chuyue collapsed on the chair exhausted, looking lazy and without any consciousness of a girl.

"Will you regret finding yourself such a tiring job?" Xiao Yihao appeared beside Jiang Chuyue at some point and said something that sounded a bit inexplicable.

Jiang Chuyue was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her eyelids. The yard was in a mess and she didn't bother to clean it up. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang and Wu Gang were still there, so Jiang Chuyue didn't have to fight alone.

"What's there to regret?" When Jiang Chuyue first decided to do this deal, she was worried that something might go wrong. But when she saw the excitement and joy of everyone who exchanged herbs for food to support their family, Jiang Chuyue had to admit that she felt that what she did was still of some value.

"Do you know what kind of food they exchange the most for?" Jiang Chuyue suddenly asked this question as she watched the last person disappear into the darkness.

"What?" Xiao Yihao didn't quite follow Jiang Chuyue's train of thought.

"The most common items they exchanged were cornmeal and potatoes. It was because these two items were the cheapest and they could be exchanged for more."
