Well, it was my fault after all, as long as she's happy!
"Oh, right. You're my aunt's distant nephew now, don't get your identity wrong. You eat first, I'll come over after dinner to help you apply the medicine."
"Let's go, Wangcai. Let's go eat." When she called Wangcai, her eyes were fixed on Qi Zhao on the bed, her big eyes full of mockery.
Qi Zhao shook his head, not angry at all. Instead, he found the little girl's behavior somewhat... well, cute.
During dinner, Jiang Wanwan mentioned Qi Zhao's name to her family. The Jiang family members exchanged glances, all understanding that Gou Wangcai had angered her.
In addition, she also revealed that Su Mu was the mastermind behind the men in black, but omitted the reason why he was hunting down Qi Zhao.
After learning that the man in black was Su Mu's doing, the members of the Jiang family cursed Su Mu and Su Wan'er, and said they would be more vigilant about everyone and everything.
After dinner, she immediately went to the woodshed to apply medicine to Qi Zhao's wound.
After washing up, Jiang Wanwan returned to her room and bought some materials from the mall to make smoke bombs, tear gas, and other items. She made a lot of things to use for escaping and stored them in her storage space.
The ones in the store were too expensive; buying too many wasn't cost-effective. Luckily, she knew how to make them, so she crafted some simplified versions of tear gas and other weapons. While their power wasn't as great as the ones in the store, the effect was about the same.
The next morning, as always, the villagers brought the locusts they had caught to be weighed and exchanged for grain.
The number of locusts received today was more than double that of yesterday, allowing Jiang Wanwan to earn over 100,000 yuan in a single day!
Jiang Wanwan was overjoyed as she watched her balance in the online store grow larger and larger.
She drove the oxcart out of the village. Today, besides delivering mosquito coils to Laifu Restaurant, she also wanted to go to the county town to look for the person Qi Zhao had asked her to find.
Not long after leaving the village, Jiang Tietou, Jiang Dali, and Jiang Dayong also drove their oxcart out of the village, swaying and staggering.
They will continue to sell mosquito coils at their stall in town today.
When Jiang Wanwan arrived in the county town, she found a secluded corner, bought rice from the mall, and then drove an oxcart to Wanhuofang.
As soon as Zhen Duoqian saw her, he kept urging her to deliver mosquito coils to the store. He only let her go after Jiang Wanwan promised that she could deliver them the next day.
After parking the oxcart in the backyard of Wanhuofang, Jiang Wanwan wandered around the county town, looking for the person Qi Zhao had mentioned.
However, after searching the entire market, she couldn't find a trace of that person.
Continuing to search like this wasn't a solution, so Jiang Wanwan had no choice but to go to a dilapidated temple and bribe the beggars in the county town to help her keep an eye out for clues about this person.
On her way home in the oxcart, Jiang Wanwan thought that a drought would soon strike the entire Daqi region. Although the villagers of Dashui Village had already exchanged some rice with her, the amount was still too small, and with the internal strife that followed, it probably wouldn't be enough to sustain them.
Currently, it seems that only Dashui Village and one or two nearby villages are experiencing locust plagues, while other areas appear to be unaffected. Therefore, grain prices have not been affected at this time.
But it won't be long before the locust plague sweeps across the entire Daqi. At that time, food prices will skyrocket, and the people and farmers will have no money to buy food. Then, Daqi will be thrown into turmoil.
Meanwhile, the current emperor's sons also took advantage of that time to launch a battle for the throne.
Therefore, the villagers of Dashui Village need a type of grain that is both drought-resistant and high-yielding.
Jiang Wanwan immediately thought of sweet potatoes, cassava, potatoes, and kudzu root.
But after comparing them, she ultimately chose potatoes.
After all, potatoes have the shortest growth cycle among these crops, and can generally be harvested in just over sixty days.
If we plant now, it will be just in time for the drought to occur, which is more than two months away.
This period of time has been sufficient.
