But what Wang Mang said was indeed heart-breaking. If they didn't go hunting, how would they make a living? After all, these country folk only knew these two things. The farming skills were taught to them by Xu Miaomiao. Now the fields were in bad condition, and they had no other options.

Seeing that everyone began to twitch, Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly, and immediately stepped forward, looked at everyone and said, "As long as you promise me to release the two tiger cubs, I can find a job for you."

Everyone was obviously touched, but Wang Mang became dissatisfied when he heard this. He glared at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Don't listen to him. Have you forgotten how Xu Miaomiao treated us? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have ended up like this. She must have wanted us to release the two cubs and then take the tigers away. Anyway, without these two cubs as bargaining chips, how could the big tigers be afraid of us? They must have run away early. She wants to get something for nothing!"

Everyone had to take Wang Mang's words into consideration. The man at the front thought for a moment, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Xu Miaomiao, what kind of work do you want to give us that will allow us to earn enough money to survive the winter?"

Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously and smiled slightly without answering her. Seeing this, everyone tried their best to echo her and said, "That's right. You said you could give us enough money to survive the winter. Although your family is rich, you only run a small shop. How can you support our whole village?"

The crowd obviously didn't believe Xu Miaomiao's words and insisted that he tell them about the job. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao was not in a hurry. He looked at the crowd, touched his hairline, and slowly said, "You also know that I'm a businessman. I don't have much, but I have a lot of money. Just think of it as me seeking benefits for you."

As Xu Miaomiao spoke, she took out an album and placed it in front of her. On the album was a picture of a table of Cordyceps sinensis. She had discovered that although the rare medicinal herbs were in short supply in the back mountain, there were plenty of expensive Cordyceps sinensis. It was a pity that she could not pick them all up by herself. If she asked these people to come, it would surely save a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly in her heart, but with the experience of farming last time, she did not intend to tell everyone about the efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis. She just looked at them and said, "There is a kind of herb on this mountain. I just need you. If you can find me a plant of this herb, I will give you one penny of silver."

"What? One plant is worth one penny?"

The man looked at her in shock. He couldn't believe that this bug-like thing could eat so much silver. Seeing this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Xu Miaomiao in disbelief. After all, he had often seen this thing when he went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms. Isn't this just picking up money for free? The man thought to himself.

Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly: "But I only have one request, each family can only pick up thirty, thirty coins of silver, enough for every household to spend this winter safely."

Besides, there are so many people in Wangjia Village. If she picks thirty plants from each household, it will be enough for her. Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but admire her own wisdom. This is really a way to solve the problem once and for all.

Everyone was in disbelief when they saw this. The leading man was obviously also a little suspicious of Xu Miaomiao. He looked at him as if he was a fool. He immediately dropped the hoe in his hand and walked towards the woods. When Dahu saw him move, he immediately became wary and bared his teeth at him. The man was also trembling. He slowly moved away from Dahu to the edge of the woods, dug twice, picked up a Cordyceps sinensis, handed it to Xu Miaomiao and said.

"This is what you want."

The man didn't dare to step forward, after all, Da Hu was guarding in front, so he had to throw the herbs in an arc from the air. As soon as Xu Miaomiao stretched out his hand, the herb fell into his hand. Xu Miaomiao picked up one and looked at it carefully, nodded, took out a silver coin from his purse, and threw it to the man in the same way. When the man got the silver coin, he was still a little shocked, until he put it in his mouth and bit it. After confirming that it was really silver, he immediately smiled happily and spoke.

"This method is not much safer than hunting. Xu Miaomiao, if you really keep your word, each household can pick thirty plants. I'll give it to you, and you can change it."

"Of course it's true." Xu Miaomiao nodded. Seeing this, everyone immediately dropped the hoes in their hands and started running to the side to pick Cordyceps sinensis. Once they picked up one, they immediately brought it to Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao also accepted all of them without hesitation, but occasionally when she saw one or two damaged plants, she would say, "I only want one plant. I won't count defective plants like yours."

Hearing this, the man dropped the herbs in his hand with some dismay, but immediately threw himself into the work with great interest. Seeing this, Dahu seemed to think that there was nothing to worry about, so he squatted quietly beside Xu Miaomiao, licking his paws from time to time.

Wang Mang, however, was still sitting on his chair. He looked at everyone with dissatisfaction and said, "What are you doing? Do you believe everything she says? Hunting is our only way. Go catch the tiger."

Hearing Wang Mang talking, the tiger bared its teeth at him in dissatisfaction. Wang Mang immediately broke out in sweat out of fear and lowered his forehead. After all, he lost his leg because of the tiger. Wang Mang did not dare to provoke him alone. Seeing that everyone around him abandoned him and immediately went to look for Cordyceps sinensis, Wang Mang could only lie on the chair with a limp, looking extremely helpless.

Xu Miaomiao took a step forward, and the big tiger behind him immediately followed Xu Miaomiao and took a step forward. Looking at the big tiger so close to him, Wang Mang's heart skipped a beat. He swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and his fingers gripped the chair beside him tightly. His heart was pounding.

Xu Miaomiao naturally sensed his fear, but now she acted like a clown in front of him: "Mr. Wang, I advise you to go pick up more Cordyceps sinensis instead of catching tigers. Otherwise, if you can't exchange for the thirty coins, what will you eat to survive the winter?"

Xu Miaomiao said with a laugh.
