"Keep those and buy some better farm tools." Speaking of this, Luo Xi felt heartbroken. When she was collecting supplies in the apocalypse, she passed by the farm tool store several times, but thought she wouldn't need them and didn't take them.

Therefore, collecting recyclables is sometimes really necessary.

Who knows when she might suddenly fall and be played by fate again, just like she is now.

"Alright then." Zhou Cang's hands trembled as he took out another large bag of silver: "Boss, would you like to go and check on those people who are supposed to come and work?"

"No need, you can handle it yourself." Luo Xi didn't want to exhaust herself like a donkey.

There was no need for her to take over her subordinates' work; it would make it seem like she didn't trust Zhou Cang at all.

Moreover, she also has her own things to do.

The emotion in Zhou Cang's eyes almost materialized.

He has truly met his mentor!

Zhou Cang sighed for a long time before clutching the silver and preparing to leave. But after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask again, "Boss, in this kind of weather, can we really manage to farm?"

"What if I lose everything in the end?"

Especially seeing the boss throwing money around like a spendthrift, he felt more at ease asking him.

"I thought you would keep quiet and not ask," Luo Xi said with a teasing smile, looking at the uneasy Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang was a little embarrassed.

When I first met the leader, I thought she was a bit fierce, so I didn't ask her any questions out of caution.

But as a farmer, how could he bear to watch the seeds go to waste in the ground, especially since the head of the household treated him so well?

He thought he was going to be in deep trouble for messing things up, but to his surprise, the boss not only didn't blame him, but also wanted to help him with his personal matters.

They all say that no robber is a good person, but he felt that the leader was different.

She really is a Robin Hood!

“Boss, based on my many years of farming experience, the weather is indeed not suitable for spring planting. Why don’t we wait and see? If it still doesn’t rain, then… forget it.” Zhou Cang patiently advised.

“Count? That’s impossible.” If it were possible, Luo Xi wouldn’t have considered settling down here.

Although she had harvested a lot of grain, sitting idle and relying on the empty mountains was not a long-term solution, and besides, who knew when this damned drought would end?

"You don't need to think about anything else, just focus on planting the land well. As for whether the crops will survive, you'll find out when the time comes."

Thinking of the few adorable little plants that had already sprouted in the house, Luo Xi rested her chin on her hand, a slight smile curving her lips.

"Alright, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do. Go do your thing."

Zhou Cang was extremely conflicted, feeling he should say a few more words of advice, but looking at Luo Xi's resolute expression, he finally replied, "Yes, Chief, I'll take my leave."

The anxious people waiting in the hall felt a pang of unease when they saw Steward Zhou enter with a distressed face.

"Manager Zhou, is it... is it that the boss doesn't like us?"

What should we do?

Are we really going to have to flee the famine?

Zhou Cang then came to his senses, looked at the crowd staring at him expectantly, and explained, "How could that be? The chief is busy with other things and has put me in charge of this matter. You can just come here and put your fingerprints on my documents."

He knew these people very well; they were all honest, simple farmers, so he could accept them without worry.

The people breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Although it was a bit of a shame not to see the leader, it was probably for the best. They were instinctively afraid of bandits, so it was better that he was gone.

Zhou Cang took out a document he had prepared beforehand and had them put their fingerprints on it.

The people didn't realize it was all real until they received the grain and felt its heavy weight in their hands.

The leader is no ordinary bandit; she is... a heroine of the outlaw world.

"Manager Zhou, just tell us what you need us to do. We can start work today."

"Yes, yes, these kinds of crops can't be delayed."

However, some people had doubts: "Manager Zhou, with such a severe drought, do we really need to plant crops?"

"Why don't you go and ask the chief again, so you don't waste your time?"

Holding the real grain in their hands, they instantly felt like they were part of the mountain resort and began to think about its future.

He was also full of doubts. Zhou Cang sighed deeply in his heart, but when he spoke, his tone was unusually firm.

"Don't worry, everyone. Our boss is no ordinary person. She has her own way of growing crops and will definitely not let you work for nothing. You can go back first and come back to work the day after tomorrow."

Is that so? The others were stunned.

But the chief is only human, and humans cannot control the weather. With no rain and the river almost dried up, the people were skeptical that they could really grow grain.

Since the host had already said so, they couldn't ask any more questions and had no choice but to leave with a heart full of doubts.

Gu Heizi dawdled for a while, and only after everyone had left did he approach Zhou Cang with a grin: "Uncle, do you have some connections? Otherwise, how could you be so sure that you can grow crops?"

"What are you asking about?" Zhou Cang glared at him. "Just do your job."

He then pushed the person out of the lobby.

Gu Heizi stared at the closed door, his eyes darting around, seemingly deep in thought.

Meanwhile, the others who had left gathered halfway to discuss the matter, and also to see how those who stayed behind would fare.

"I think this boss is a fool. Planting crops in this weather? He must be out of his mind. He might as well give me the seeds to eat. It's such a waste to leave them in the ground."

"Yeah, growing crops in this weather? Tsk tsk~ Women are just women, long hair and short brains."

"You think they actually grow grain?" Zhou Fugui sneered. "That's just an excuse for them to trick those brainless idiots into becoming sheep."
