During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

After returning to her room, Qin Shuangshuang opened the brocade pouch in her hand.

After looking closely, the gist of it was that it was telling me to take good care of my health, and that was about it.

Qin Shuangshuang exclaimed, thinking that it might bring her some good news.

Just then, she inadvertently spotted some broken seeds in that area.

Qin Shuangshuang took them out carefully and examined them closely. Before long, she heard the seeds crackling and popping in her ears.

"Where is this place? Why is the sun shining so brightly out of nowhere?"

"I thought we'd be stuck in that dark, sunless little bag forever!"

"Stop talking! Look at this guy, his eyes are wide open, and he's clearly up to no good. We'd better shut up."

"What are you afraid of? We're all dried up right now, and we can't be eaten. We need to process it properly. Don't worry, with just a few of us small fry, he won't go that far."

"Everyone, please be quiet. He's watching us. We need to be careful, be careful!"

Qin Shuangshuang realized that this thing was actually wheat. She took a closer look and decided that it would be good to put the wheat in her space and cultivate it properly. At least that way, one stalk would grow and then another would grow, and there would only be more and more. It was better to have something than nothing.

Qin Shuangshuang understood this principle more and more, and put the things into her space before returning to the kitchen to start her own work.

She had ground all the konjac into powder by herself, working late into the night. Not long after, Qin Shuangshuang sensed someone loitering outside the door.

Qin Shuangshuang said warily, "Who is it? Since you're here, please come in."

Then the door was pushed open, and Qin Shuangshuang saw a small head.

It turned out to be Qin Hao, followed by his mother. Qin Hao said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Sister, are you hungry? You've been busy all night, and I didn't see you go out to eat, so I brought some things over. Try them."

Qin Shuangshuang looked at the old food box that Zhou had brought. There was actually food inside. Qin Shuangshuang saw that it was a shriveled pancake, but it looked very tempting. She quickly put down her things and went over to pick up the pancake and started to gnaw on it like a hungry wolf.

I was already a little hungry, and now that I saw food, it was hard to resist.

At this moment, looking at the powder on the ground, he said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Can these things really be eaten, sister?"

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and wolfed down a cup of tea before saying to him, "Of course it's edible, but it's not fully processed yet. You can try it after I've finished making it."

Qin Hao nodded and said happily to her, "I'm especially happy to be able to eat the food my sister made."

I just don't know if what my sister made this time will be enough to feed everyone.

Qin Shuangshuang said reassuringly, "Okay, okay, don't worry. With your sister here, everyone will only eat better and better, and we'll definitely be able to eat our fill."

Then, seeing that there were still so many konjac flowers on the ground, Zhou said to Qin Shuang, "Daughter, it's too hard for you to do it all by yourself. I'll come over and help you. If we work on it all night, we'll make sure you can finish everything you want to do tomorrow."

Qin Shuangshuang thought about it. After all, Zhou Shi was old and Qin Hao was young. But she also realized that if she were to work alone, she would indeed be busy until late at night.

It can be quite lonely to be busy by yourself. Just then, someone pushed open the door and came in, accompanied by several burly men.

Qin Shuangshuang looked at them with delight and said, "What brings you here?"

Uncle Li said to her, "Everyone, I came to help because I couldn't sleep at night. The competition is just around the corner, so I thought I'd help you get what you need done."

If you don't succeed and don't win that bet, we won't have a good time either.

The few behind her had initially objected to Qin Shuangshuang, insisting on using konjac to make the winnings, but they suddenly remembered that Qin Shuangshuang was indeed their team's savior, and they certainly couldn't let her work around like this alone.

Then, the burly men who had initially opposed Qin Shuangshuang said to her, "Although some of the things I said during the day weren't very nice, you have to believe me. What I said was reasonable. I hope you won't be angry. Now that everyone's here, they'll definitely help you."

Just tell us how to do it, and we'll help you make it tonight.

Qin Shuangshuang thought that with so many people helping her, she was sure that all the processing would be completed tonight.

Qin Shuangshuang then gave some instructions, and soon everyone was busy.

Qin Shuangshuang thought it was fortunate that some gloves had been made beforehand; otherwise, the predicament tonight might have become unsolvable, and everyone would have been busy working together.

Looking at the lively atmosphere, Qin Shuangshuang knew that she would definitely have something to gain tonight.

The next morning, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Qin Shuangshuang looked at the wooden basins in front of her. Several basins were filled with the prepared powder, along with water and konjac powder.

They are being settled little by little by the water. Qin Shuangshuang watched and believed that in two or three days, these things would be fully usable.

Qin Shuangshuang pushed open the door and took a deep breath of fresh air. Just as she was about to relax, she suddenly looked out and saw that everyone was watching the commotion.

She listened to the footsteps outside, and as soon as she went out, she saw one carriage after another coming, as if they were carrying something.

Qin Shuangshuang, out of curiosity, grabbed someone at random and asked, "Auntie, what's going on here? Why are there so many people, horses, and carriages? What are they doing?"

At this moment, the aunt next to her, who also recognized Qin Shuangshuang, said to her, "Miss Qin, you don't know yet, do you? The chairman of the chamber of commerce who made that bet with you has brought a lot of things directly from the capital to feed us. It seems that you are in some danger this time."

Qin Shuangshuang thought to herself, he was able to transfer things from the capital, which she didn't know if it could be considered cheating, but she felt that since the other party had already found a way, she didn't know if her own method could win against him.

But she still had some confidence, so she confidently said to the person next to her, "Don't worry, it's still uncertain who will win this time."
