The child next to him sniffed, with a string of crystal clear tears hanging on his face, and pointed at the konjac in the house and said pitifully.
"Mom! I'm so hungry, I want to eat that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the child's mother slapped his pointing hand down with a merciless slap.
"Eat, eat, eat! Why don't I eat you to death! That thing is a potato, a bullshit konjac!"
The child's mother glared at Zhan Qingyue fiercely and yelled at the child fiercely.
How could a child of several years old have so much thought? He felt aggrieved and burst into tears.
"Just eat it! It's so delicious, mother, I'm hungry!"
Hungry?
Who here is not hungry!
No one's eyes moved anywhere, staring at Zhan's konjac.
Mr. Gangtongsheng can tell you, this is konjac, not sweet potato.
But with my wife here, who dares to talk to her like that?
When I turn around, I won't be allowed to wear small shoes by the Rizheng family. It will be light if I can't get food from the back of the queue!
If they were targeted again, they might not be able to get there alive.
Those busy villagers looked at the glowing green wild vegetables in their own pots, not even a drop of oil or water could be seen, and after counting the pot, there were not even a few grains of rice!
Look at Renzhan's house again, there are so many konjacs, and you can eat several meals if you open your belly.
Everyone waited eagerly, their faces burnt yellow by the sun, and their stomachs filled with greed.
They are all waiting for someone to stand out.
Several villagers with ragged clothes, messy hair, and blood stains on their bodies finally stood up, supported each other and walked towards Zhan Qingyue.
"Miss Yue, I'm really sorry that the Li Zheng family was showing off their power here just now. I couldn't even do anything to help you!"
Zhan Qingyue raised her eyes and saw a few people who were injured while hunting in the mountains, and smiled politely.
"It's all in the past. Let's not mention these things. How about the wounds? Are they not bandaged?"
Several people shook their heads, wildly sniffing the scent of the konjac, and swallowed unconsciously.
"Miss Yue, no matter what the family members say, we believe you will not make a mistake. I will have food if I follow you!"
Zhan Qingyue looked at them with admiration, thinking that they knew the goods.
She was happy because it turned out that these people were here to express their position to her.
Seeing that they had a good attitude, Zhan Qingyue generously educated them on science.
"This konjac is a good thing. Even if it is roasted in a fire pit, it will still be delicious."
Several men had been hungry for several days and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Zhan Qingyue's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and she glanced around the villagers around the camp. The corners of her mouth curved slightly. These people all had their own thoughts, and they were probably just waiting for someone to take the lead!
She looked at the men who were covered in wounds and picked up a piece of konjac.
"You guys haven't eaten yet, have you? Take some to try?"
Several men looked at Zhan Qingyue with grateful faces, stretched out their hands to catch the konjac, and bravely took a bite. Their eyes lit up.
"It's delicious. This is not a buttercup. The buttercup tastes very astringent. This one is delicious, soft and glutinous in the mouth."
With someone taking the lead in eating, the hearts of other villagers became more and more restless.
Several villagers hurriedly ran to Zhan Qingyue, nodding and bowing for a while in a stiff gesture of goodwill.
Seeing them like this made Zhan Qingyue feel a little twisted. She led people to dig konjac, not to be superior to others, but simply to let them eat enough.
"Everyone, there is no need for you to be like this. Just say it directly. After all, we are not familiar with each other. What do you think?"
Seeing her speaking so straightforwardly, the villagers lost their temper and all smiled.
"Miss Yue, can you share your konjac among us?"
Zhan Qingyue saw them opening their mouths and didn't do anything to embarrass them.
"Okay! Isn't it just konjac? Let's try it."
When the Zhan family heard this, they were unhappy.
"Yueyue, you risked your life to dig this up with them, are you just giving it away like this?"
Song Cuihua felt sorry for her precious daughter and could not bear to see her daughter being wronged.
They didn't believe Zhan Qingyue's words before, but now they came to her door again, Song Cuihua felt a fire in her heart.
They watched Han Yiyun speak, and the few injured villagers tried to eat.
These people are so shameless that they ask for help.
Other members of the Zhan family also spoke out to dissuade her, thinking that what Song Cuihua said made sense.
Zhan Dayou looked at those people with an unkind expression.
"This is something that can kill people. My family, Yueyue, doesn't want to take someone else's life. You should leave quickly! Leave quickly!"
Zhan Qingyue was moved. It was a good thing to have someone to support her. Looking at Zhan Dayou's protective look, she shrugged helplessly.
"As you can see, this is the poison I took the risk to bring back, and I don't dare to give it to you."
When several villagers saw what Zhan Qingyue said, they immediately became anxious and said good things.
"Miss Yueyue, it was our fault before. There was little food on the way to escape the famine, and the children were so hungry that they howled."
Others said that I couldn’t get off the ground while waiting for dinner.
Seeing how miserable they were one by one, Zhan Qingyue curled her lips helplessly and looked very embarrassed.
"It's okay if you want konjac, just exchange it for food. One pound of food can be exchanged for two pounds of konjac!"
This is a guaranteed profit!
Firstly, the rations have increased, and secondly, this konjac really resists hunger!
Several villagers looked confused and gathered together to whisper.
After a while, someone went home to get food.
Gradually, more and more people exchanged grain for konjac.
The Zhan family also got busy.
Wait until the food is replaced.
Zhan Qingyue ordered the bags of food.
The joy on the faces of the Zhan family members could not be hidden, and they hurriedly scattered and hid the food while no one was paying attention.
The villagers who returned after switching to konjac followed the most traditional method and threw the konjac into the fire pit and burned it.
After a while, the whole camp was filled with fragrance.
"This konjac is much more delicious than the mushy wild vegetables!"
"If I had known it, we would have taken action earlier! It's so fragrant that one konjac can feed several people!"
Some of those who had been misled by Li Zheng's wife now regretted not having changed with Zhan Qingyue earlier, and had been hungry for so long in vain.
After lunch, everyone gathered at Zhan's house again, still wanting to know more.
"Miss Yue, this konjac is a good thing. There is still a lot of undigging in the mountains. Let's go back and dig it!"
"Yes, Miss Yue, there are so many konjacs, enough for our team to eat for a while!"
Everyone looked at Zhan Qingyue with anticipation, wishing they could urge her to take them up the mountain to dig konjac right now.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Qingyue had a calm face and looked at the excited crowd with indifferent eyes.
"no!"
"There is a tiger on the mountain, and the people injured by the tiger have not recovered yet!"
"This is too dangerous! Don't risk your life just for a bite!"
Her face became serious, and she was a little scared. With so many people's lives, she didn't dare to joke.
"It's a good fortune to be able to escape a disaster that day. Maybe the tiger is waiting to take revenge on us. If we enter the mountain now, will it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"
After Zhan Qingyue finished speaking, the villagers who were still eager to try turned pale with fright.
In an instant, everyone was crying, and no one had the intention to go into the mountain to trouble the tiger again, so everyone left the Zhanjia camp unwillingly.
After persuading everyone to leave, Zhan Qingyue's thoughts gradually started to change.
She looked thoughtfully at the forest where the konjac was.
It was not too far from the entire camp. If she went into the mountains alone and encountered a tiger, she would be very sure that she would be able to escape.
As for those konjacs, they are just something to take out of the bag, just a little hard work.
