The next few years will be even more difficult for the Great Qi Kingdom.
It's just that the poor suffer, facing such natural and man-made disasters, they can only wait to die.
Jiang Wanwan's eyes sharpened as she suddenly thought of two extremely serious situations.
Given their current situation, the Jiang family is not well-equipped to handle these risks. Although they have earned a considerable amount of money making mosquito coils recently, it's only a little over two hundred taels of silver. If the price of rice and grain rises as rapidly as described in the original book, this amount of silver won't be enough to buy much food.
Moreover, their family also needed to build a sturdy courtyard to avoid future troubles.
Without a sturdy house, if thieves are rampant, one's home will be easily burgled, and one's life may even be endangered.
Therefore, the courtyard must be built according to the original plan. Not only must it be built, but it must be an even sturdier courtyard.
Secondly, if only one family in Dashui Village has food while other families have no rice or food, that family will inevitably become the target of everyone's envy and be robbed by the villagers.
Therefore, in addition to earning money to stock up on food for their own families, they also had to help the villagers of Dashui Village store up food and get through this difficult period.
Only by uniting the villagers and ensuring they have food to eat can everyone have the strength to protect Dashui Village, which is also a form of security for themselves.
In addition, one must make money in one's own store as soon as possible and open up sections for weapons and medicine to cope with the natural disasters and man-made calamities to come.
Jiang Wanwan was lost in her thoughts when she suddenly heard Jiang Hu grit his teeth and shout, "If only locusts were edible! Locusts eat our crops, and we eat locusts."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up.
Why didn't she think of this great idea!
One year during her vacation, she went to the province famous for Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles. While strolling through the night market, she saw various fried insects on the food stalls, including locusts.
Surprisingly, these fried insects are quite expensive.
Since modern people also eat it, should the mall also buy it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan made a quick decision, opened her palm and grabbed a handful of locusts that flew past her.
A familiar mechanical sound instantly echoed in my mind.
[Ding! Top-grade wild, unpolluted locusts detected. Price: 198 yuan per jin (500g). The locusts are underweight and cannot be weighed, therefore they cannot be sold. Please continue your efforts and catch more.]
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan was overjoyed. The mall was not only buying locusts, but also paying a hefty price. The price per unit was comparable to that of wild mushrooms.
Thanks to the online store, and thanks to modern people who love novelty; it is because of their love for it that the online store made the acquisition.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and looked at the locusts flying all over the sky with shining eyes.
At this moment, are locusts still pests in her eyes?
No, that's pure, hard-earned money!
The villagers' mood changes drastically when they exchange grain for locusts, and they become more proactive in catching locusts. In this way, they can both increase their own shop's balance and help the villagers of Dashui Village earn grain.
Moreover, once locusts can be exchanged for grain, why worry about not catching all the locusts in the fields?
In that case, locusts will probably suffer the same fate as crayfish today, being eaten to extinction.
Now that it has been verified that the online store can buy locusts, all that's needed is to find a suitable reason to get the villagers to help catch them.
Jiang Wanwan quickly calmed down and thought it over.
A thought suddenly struck her and she came up with a brilliant idea.
