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

Qin Shuangshuang was surprised to find that Lin Zheng was indeed very clever.

He did this simply to showcase the superior qualities of people from his county in front of the other county association leaders, and in hopes of getting them to cooperate with him.

If Qin Shuangshuang can come up with a decent plan this time, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will be feasible in the future, and no one will be willing to give up such an opportunity to invest money.

Qin Shuangshuang thought to herself, "This Lin Zheng really does have some brains; he's using me to make money."

Then, Lin Zheng stood up and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "After I have recovered, I will have my men inquire around to see if we can get more grain. What do you think about your konjac flour now? Are you willing to give it to the people to eat, or are you just making it for your own group to eat?"

I see there's a lot of that stuff, so why don't we take some out? What do you think?

Qin Shuangshuang smiled, "Of course, I understand your intentions. However, the reason you arranged such a large house for me is so that I can research things to cook for everyone. Don't worry."

I understand your intentions, and I will certainly follow your instructions regarding the konjac powder. However, I will need you to find more konjac. Since you intend to make a name for yourself with this, let's first distribute the konjac powder to the vagrants in this county and let them try it.

You should gather the heads of those chambers of commerce together, treat them to a meal, and have a good talk about this big deal. Right now, they all hope to find a way to ensure that the people in their county can have enough to eat.

Now that we've mastered this technology, why don't we have a good talk with them and see if we can exchange goods or technology for technology? What do you think?

Lin Zheng thought Qin Shuangshuang's words made sense, so he agreed.

After Lin Zheng left, Qin Hao stepped forward and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Sister, are you really going to hand over this formula?"

Qin Shuangshuang smiled. "This formula was bound to be known sooner or later anyway. Nowadays, those chamber of commerce presidents probably also have some ways to get rich, or how to grow crops taller and faster."

So this is how I see it; it's not enough to just give it to them for nothing.

Qin Hao nodded in understanding.

……

The winter moon, though shrouded in cold air, still shines brightly.

Qin Shuangshuang looked at the moon, then glanced at the courtyard below, which was deserted.

Qin Hao and Zhou Shi had already gone to rest in nearby rooms.

Now, with no one able to see her in this house, she squatted down on the stone embankment, took out some soybeans from her spatial storage, carefully counted them in her hands, and smiled faintly, "These are very well grown. I'll add some water and let them sprout as quickly as possible."

"Then you can sow them in the soil, and I estimate that they will grow and bear fruit before long, right?"

Suddenly, she heard something else's sound, and then she hurriedly brought the squealing pig out of that space to her eyes.

Qin Shuang looked at the little pig in front of her, nudged its head with her hand, and said to it, "What are you yelling about in the space? Why don't you just live a peaceful life in there?"

"Look at you, you've grown so much in just over ten days, you've already made some progress. So, you'd better stay inside and grow up obediently. Since there's no one around now, I'll let you wander around here a little longer."

Qin Shuangshuang looked closely at the soybeans in her palm, thinking about how to grow them as quickly as possible so that they could bear fruit soon.

Suddenly, she realized that she had stockpiled so much oil residue. If she used it at home, she estimated that it would grow faster than other soybeans.

This is the only solution she can think of so far.

If you want something, go look for other things in the space, and you'll find that the wheat you threw in earlier has already grown.

Qin Shuangshuang's face lit up with curiosity as she looked at the crops placed in this space. She hadn't expected that this space could not only grow quickly but also purify toxins. This thing was too useful. Was this bet set up for her?

Qin Shuangshuang almost burst out laughing.

Just then, Zhou saw Qin Shuangshuang in the yard, grinning foolishly at the little wild boar in front of her.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't believe it. Wild boars often roamed the yard. She rubbed her eyes and went over. When she saw a wild boar in front of her daughter, she was so shocked that she almost screamed. She quickly covered her mouth and went back into the house.

After returning home, Qin Hao kept looking at his mother, whose face looked as if she had been frightened.

Qin Hao quickly asked, "Mother, why do you have such a strange expression? It looks like something happened. What's wrong? Didn't you go to your sister's courtyard to see her?"

Did something happen to her?

Qin Hao was about to leave.

However, Zhou quickly grabbed him with one hand.

"Silly child, you absolutely mustn't go to your sister. She looks like she's possessed by something,"

Qin Hao was so shocked that he almost covered his mouth as well. He said to Zhou Shi in front of him, "Mother, what are you saying? How could my sister be possessed by some strange thing? She's always been perfectly normal."

After calming down, Zhou said to him, "I've always felt that your sister is acting strangely. Lately, I've been thinking about why she can produce so many things, and suddenly it dawned on me..."

It's very likely she's possessed by something. Let's find some shamans to take a look at her in a while."

Qin Hao could hardly believe it.

After hesitating, Qin Hao frowned slightly. If his sister really wasn't bothered by anything evil, they really needed to find someone to take a look at her.

But I think that her ability to pull things out from behind the scenes is her own skill; how can that be considered possession by something?

At this moment, Zhou shook her head and said to him, "You're just too naive. It's normal for a kind girl like your sister to be possessed. I had one when I was little too. But if she was making some kind of deal with someone behind the scenes, that wouldn't be so good."

A young girl's innocence is of utmost importance, and your sister is so concerned about saving face, what if she doesn't tell us...?

Qin Hao nodded and said to him, "Okay, Mother, I've remembered everything you said. I'll keep this a secret and I'll take good care of my sister."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou said, "There should be a temple near the county town. Tomorrow I will get some incense ash for her to drink. My daughter is so kind, she will surely be rewarded. Trust me, I will definitely find the medicine for your sister tomorrow."
