Luo Yunhe rushed into the village and knocked on doors to ask if he could borrow a machete.
However, things did not go as smoothly as she had imagined. At each house she went to, people shook their heads and refused when they heard that she wanted to borrow a machete, and they chased her away without any politeness.
Luo Yunhe was very surprised; she had never imagined that she would be so unwelcome in this village.
Nevertheless, she did not give up easily and continued to try to find someone to lend her a knife to.
After trying several places, Luo Yunhe finally realized the problem—people lacked trust in her and were unwilling to lend her a machete.
Then, she had a brilliant idea: to use money to borrow a machete.
"Borrow a machete, three coins a day! Machetes are available for rent here, only three coins a day!" Luo Yunhe shouted loudly through the village.
This tactic worked, and her voice immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.
The women, in particular, showed great interest in this novel way of trading.
As Luo Yunhe walked around the village, more and more people rushed out of their homes carrying machetes.
The scene made it seem as if they were about to fight.
In reality, they were just trying to make money by renting out their machetes.
In no time, Luo Yunhe had more than ten machetes in her hands, which greatly boosted her confidence.
It seems that money can indeed make the devil turn the millstone, even for people!
When Luo Yunhe returned, she had brought with her more than 10 machetes.
The boys each carried one, and a few others didn't, so they could only follow along up the mountain and do what they could.
"My lord, I'll go with you!"
A large group of people headed up the mountain.
It has to be said that there is strength in numbers.
In addition, these students were already exhausted from studying in the classroom every day, and they were more excited than anyone else to finally get out.
At this moment on the mountain, they all seemed to have found their goal: logging, as Luo Yunhe had said.
As noon approached, a large group of people descended the mountain.
Almost each of them carried a trimmed tree on their back.
Others were dragging large amounts of tree branches behind them.
Upon arriving at the wasteland, they all left their belongings behind.
"Everyone must be tired, come and take a shower!"
Children in their late teens are at a playful age, and from the moment they come into contact with water, they start roughhousing with each other.
"My dear husband, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to make it today!"
"Fool, studying is important, but it's also good to let them relax a bit. Today is a good opportunity."
Is this enough?
Luo Yunhe looked at the wood and finally shook her head. "I've already calculated that four acres of land will require at least a hundred pieces of wood!"
Moreover, a shed needs to be built, so…”
"Okay, I understand. I'll think of another way for you!"
Luo Yunhe nodded.
After seeing them off, Luo Yunhe began to sort through the wood and branches, chopping them into small pieces and piling them aside.
She also took the opportunity to plan out the entire area, and dug out a hole in the designated spot.
She calculated that it would take at least 150 scaffolding poles to build the entire site, not to mention that she also wanted to build a courtyard wall around it.
Now, she only has two taels of silver, which is not enough to make any trouble.
It seems she needs to figure out how to make money first.
"System, are you there?"
[Host is here!]
"Tell me, what's the fastest way to make money? You can't just keep making me lose points, you have to give me some ways to make money too!"
[System: Host, there are many ways to make money. However, they require points to redeem.]
"Change it! Change it! Tell me quickly!"
[Master Thief skill: 1000 points, one day! Currently the cheapest and fastest way to make money. Host, do you need it?]
"What? You're sending me out to steal? What if I get caught? Don't try to trick me! I'm a perfectly good citizen, and you're making me learn to steal? You're so mean! I'm starting to suspect this system is a scam!" Luo Yunhe was speechless.
[System: ...The Thief skill naturally won't be detected, and besides, at your current speed, the points you're gaining are far too slow. Host, don't you want to see what unexpected benefits I'll get when I upgrade to the second tier?]
"You can level up?"
Of course, although I'm a face-slapping system, the higher my level, the more functions I have. The system shop will also have more and more items!
"Besides stealing, is there anything else?"
Yes, but the host needs to have enough patience!
"What is it?" Luo Yunhe asked, intrigued.
[The host can exchange for Fiery Eye Essence Gold to find large quantities of precious medicinal herbs in the mountains and sell them. This is one of the fastest ways to make money!]
Luo Yunhe: "You have this skill too?"
[Of course, the Fiery Eyes skill is temporary, not permanent, and the exchange points are a bit expensive. If you need it, you can exchange for it directly!]
Luo Yunhe didn't want to become a thief, but this was the only option she had now.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow!"
At noon, Luo Yunhe had just returned when she saw the family sitting in the main room, eating and talking.
She wasn't in the mood to talk to them, so Luo Yunhe went straight to the kitchen. When she found there wasn't any extra food in the kitchen, she pouted.
She washed all the wild vegetables she picked yesterday, then mixed them with a lot of flour, salt, and oil.
Finally, put it in a pot and start steaming.
While it was steaming, Luo Yunhe prepared another sauce.
After crushing the ghost peppers, she added some garlic and oil, and that was it.
There are no extra materials; this is already the simplest version.
After steaming the wild vegetables, she turned off the heat and poured them into a small bowl.
Without sesame oil, she had no choice but to make do with what she had.
She initially thought the taste wouldn't be very good, but after tasting it, she found it to be quite delicious.
Luo Yunhe ate a whole bowl by herself.
She put everything else away, cleaned the pot again, and then left home.
She didn't want to be with them for even a second.
In the afternoon, Luo Yunhe continued to measure the dimensions in the ground and began to dig a hole.
She was busy until evening, and as soon as she got home, Su Jingxuan returned.
Before they could even exchange a single word, Su Jingxuan was called away by Madam Su Chen.
Luo Yunhe frowned. She didn't go inside, but stayed in the courtyard listening to the sounds coming from the main room. If there was any bad noise, she would rush in immediately.
