A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

The more Zhao Yunpeng thought about it, the more unsettling it seemed. Perhaps it really was a deity who saw how miserable the people on the frontier were and came to bring them warmth.

As for the silver, it was merely an excuse used by the immortals.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the other party appears and disappears without a trace.

Zhao Yunpeng immediately knelt down, and the others followed suit, kowtowing three times in a devout manner, "Thank you, immortal, for bestowing food!"

The others were horrified; it turned out to be a deity. No wonder the people lurking outside hadn't noticed anything before the deity delivered the food.

He looked solemnly at the sack of grain in front of him.

"General!"

"This matter must not be publicized. Not a single person more than a few of us is allowed. All those lying in ambush outside, please retreat. Call a few elite soldiers to come and move the grain. You all come back to the manor with me, and we'll discuss the next grain purchase."

Everyone was overjoyed that there would be a next time. Next time, they would definitely buy more.

"Yes! I will obey the general's orders!"

In the study room.

"These are the things and prices that the immortals can give us. Let's discuss how much to buy this time. If you need them for your own homes, you can also pay for them yourself."

It's great that they can buy it privately!

The kids and elderly in my family eat salted fish and wild vegetable soup every day; they've all become dried salted fish.

There was even wheat flour, white rice, radishes, Chinese cabbage, eggplant, cucumbers...

OMG!

Are they dreaming? The immortals have actually prepared such abundant supplies.

Buy it, I must buy it! Buy it all and store it to eat slowly!

"General, may we go home now?"

Go home and move your gold and silver!

"Go."

Xia Ning, on the other side, was also very satisfied with the transaction. She took out all the silver and touched it repeatedly.

"Jiang Yi, do you know how much I spent on these? Do you know how many times their value has increased?"

Being a middleman is a job you can do!

"They've gotten a good deal, so next time they'll definitely come up with even more money."

"Hmm, this business is worth doing!"

Jiang Yi still felt that Xia Ning was too kind-hearted; even if the price was ten or twenty times higher, they would still have to buy it honestly.

How many are you planning to sell to them?

"Let's see how much they want. We're still planting in the space, and we don't lack it. If they have silver, we'll sell it. Once the disaster year is over, the prices will plummet. If we don't take advantage of this now, we won't be able to get this windfall later."

That's true. I've heard that during times of peace, a few thousand taels can buy a lot of things.

This time, Zhao Yunpeng stopped dawdling. Who knows when the immortal will go back to cultivate? He should cherish every opportunity.

When Xia Ning saw the specific figures, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. It really was a big deal. He hadn't realized that General Zhao was so wealthy.

No one in a high position should be underestimated.

There was no one outside the warehouse.

Wow, no wonder she's someone who does big things; she's not afraid of being double-crossed at all. With no one around, she was completely relieved. Brown rice, coarse flour, black beans, soybeans, wheat flour, white rice, cabbage, radishes…

If only it were a cold wave, I could sell charcoal and firewood. No, a drought would be even better, I could sell water; she hoards mostly water and ice.

The general here is so stingy, he probably won't buy her ice.

There were so many things, and they were so varied, that it took almost an hour and a half to finish.

After taking the money, Xia Ning happily ran away.

"Jiang Yi, we can relax and enjoy the rest of our lives now."

They have space, land, and money—what more could they possibly need? Nothing. Their lives are perfect. She doesn't want to strive anymore; she wants to be a couch potato.

"From now on, I'll go out to work, and you can stay home and lie down however you want!"

Oh my, this kid has really grown up! She was the one who raised him. Looking at Jiang Yi, she felt a sense of pride, like a mother seeing her son grow up.

As soon as it was light, Zhao Yunpeng rushed to the warehouse.

The door was opened, and the inside was piled high with things.

"Bang!" His knees buckled and he fell to his knees.

"General, a divine intervention has occurred!"

"Quickly, prepare the altar! I want to offer a sacrifice to the heavens to thank the gods for helping the people of Haicheng!"

"Yes!"

Even the capital city doesn't have this kind of treatment, and the common people during natural disasters don't get it either. But they do. What does that mean? It means that the general is virtuous and talented, and that what he has done for the people has moved Heaven. He is even more favored by Heaven than the emperor himself!

They chose the right master!

"Take out your own grain, and send half of the rest to the military camp and the other half to the grain shops in the city."

Of course, he also bought some for himself, because his family needs to eat too.

The soldiers who came to collect the grain were shocked to see so much food.

Where did this come from? When did the general go to rob them? Why didn't he call them along?

If they go, they can bring back even more!

"Hurry up, move it quickly! Be careful not to tear the bags."

The soldiers were full of energy, carrying grain. With so much grain, they were happy even if they were exhausted.

"Everyone will have an extra meal today! At noon, each person will get an extra cornbread bun! And stir-fried shredded radish!"

yeah!

The whole camp was buzzing with excitement. Shredded radish—they hadn't had it in so long, they'd almost forgotten what it tasted like.

Eating dried fish every day, he can't even poop.

Shredded radish!

Sweet and refreshing shredded radish!

Zhao Yunpeng swallowed hard, watching the soldiers carry away the radishes and cucumbers.

"Give me a cucumber." Actually, he wanted an extra radish, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

He bought them, took them home, and ate them raw. Raw radishes are the best; they're juicy and have a sweet taste.

The others watched the general munching on a cucumber with envy, and unable to resist, each of the generals next to him asked for half a cucumber to taste it.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of cucumbers, making the soldiers' mouths water. They could only speed up their carrying, heads down, trying to convince themselves, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!"

A cucumber isn't very big to begin with; if you split it in half, it'll only take a few bites.

"General, next time, let's buy more vegetables."

"Wait a minute, food is the most important thing. If you want to eat, just buy it with your own money."

It seems there will be a next time, that's great! "General, let's go back to the manor to discuss this."

"go!"

"General, what did the immortal say?"

"Transaction in five days."

Very good!

No matter what, I'm going to buy ten pounds of cucumbers to keep for myself this time.

"General, our current food supplies can only last for a month. How much do you plan to buy this time?"

"50,000 catties of coarse grains, 5,000 catties of fine grains, and 10,000 catties of vegetables."

He sold the fine grains and vegetables at high prices to the wealthy households in the city. They had money, and with the silver he earned, he could buy more grain to feed his soldiers.

"General, could you ask the immortal if there is any coarse cloth? Many soldiers are already barely clothed."

"Okay, I'll send a letter to ask."

"General, the altar is ready!"

"Follow me, all of you, to worship the immortals and thank Heaven for its blessings!"

"Yes!"

The sacrificial ceremony to heaven was solemn and dignified, and everyone wore a devout expression.

The priest presiding over the ceremony was muttering incantations...

"kneel!"

"rise!"

"kneel!"

"..."

"..."

The process was complicated, and everyone's knees were red and swollen afterward.

"General, lunch is ready, please come in!"
