In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

When Lin Kunlun stepped into the house, he received a lot of criticism, but the joy in his heart flowed like a spring, which came from the deep care of his family. That warmth was what he had longed for in this prosperous world. He repeatedly promised that he would never let such a thing happen again, and then he said goodbye to Lin Dashan and his two brothers.

At this time, Liu Ye finally had a chance to be alone with Lin Kunlun. She said nervously, "Master, you really scared me to death today! If something happens to you, what should we do?" Lin Kunlun comforted her, "It's okay, I just stayed at Xiaosong's place for a while longer and didn't notice that it was getting late. Xiaosong sent me down the mountain. He is by my side, so there will be no danger." Lin Kunlun's words were both an explanation and to reassure his wife. Liu Ye never interfered in Lin Kunlun's affairs, so she didn't investigate further.

She continued, "Today we made some cakes with sorghum. Eat them while they're hot." As she spoke, Liu Ye brought out a few steaming cakes and a bowl of wild vegetable soup. While tasting the cakes, Lin Kunlun examined the herbs piled in the yard. He noticed that in addition to the ones that Lin Shi and Lin Shui brought back, there were many new varieties.

"Did Dad and his family pick these herbs?" Lin Kunlun asked curiously. Liu Ye replied, "Yes, in addition to my eldest brother, second brother and Dad, my two sisters-in-law also picked some while digging wild vegetables. They have already sorted them. Shouldn't you go to the town to sell some tomorrow? I heard that the price of food is rising every day now."

Lin Kunlun nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will send these herbs over first. But I think that if we process the herbs ourselves in the future, the processed herbs can be sold at a higher price. I want to talk to Baicaotang to see if they can teach us how to process herbs." Liu Ye agreed: "This is a good idea. Anyway, there is not much work in the fields now. There is not enough water now, and the crops in the fields can't be saved. Some villagers even save well water to irrigate the fields."

Lin Kunlun further said: "This time I got some skins from Asong, which should be able to sell for a good price. We can exchange more food for it. In addition to the share for the eldest and second brothers, and the one promised to Asong, I want to transfer some of the food to the mountains. As the saying goes, you must be on guard against others. In this world, people can hardly survive. I don't know what will happen next." Although Lin Kunlun has not experienced drought and famine, he clearly remembers that his grandfather once said that people did starve to death when there was a shortage of food. In order to survive, people will do anything. The current situation is not far from that day. Many families in the village can only eat two meals of wild vegetables every day.

This time when he went up the mountain, Lin Kunlun not only found many herbs that could be sold, but also moved some of them into the space of the fairy jade gourd. The spiritual energy there was gradually increasing, and he believed that the space would expand soon.

Lin Kunlun suddenly thought: "By the way, does our village have any mules or horses that can be used to transport goods?" He took into account that it was impossible to carry so many herbs entirely by manpower, and that they would need to buy food on the return trip. It would definitely be hard to carry so many things along a dozen miles of mountain roads.

Liu Ye shook her head and said, "Nowadays, every household can't even get enough wild vegetables, so how can they afford to raise livestock?" She was a little puzzled as to why Lin Kunlun asked this question, because he should know better which family in the village had what livestock.

Lin Kunlun said helplessly: "It seems that I have to let my brother go with me tomorrow." He could not use the space of the fairy jade gourd to store things in front of others, but carrying so many herbs to the town and then carrying back the food was indeed a problem.

Liu Ye suddenly remembered: "However, the village chief's family does have a wheelbarrow, which should be much more convenient than carrying things on one's back." Lin Kunlun thought for a moment and did remember that the village chief's family had a wheelbarrow, but he had no idea how to use it. A wheelbarrow has only one wheel and is not as stable as a four-wheeled vehicle.

Thinking of this, Lin Kunlun picked up two sorghum cakes and walked towards the village chief's house. The village chief's house was located at the easternmost end of the village. At this time, the whole village was quiet. Due to food shortages, the villagers went to bed early to reduce losses, and every household closed their doors.

Seeing this scene, Lin Kunlun couldn't help but sigh. The impact of the drought was too great. If the next harvest was still not satisfactory, I'm afraid some people would really starve to death. Moreover, the vegetation on the mountain had dried up, and the chances of finding food would become less and less.

When Lin Kunlun arrived at the village chief's yard, he saw the village chief's two grandsons playing in the yard. He knocked on the door and called out, "Uncle, are you home?" Upon hearing the voice, the village chief hurried out to open the door: "Kunlun, is that you? Why are you here at this time?"

Lin Kunlun smiled and handed the sorghum cakes to the village chief's grandchildren, one each. When they saw the sorghum cakes, their eyes lit up immediately.

"Kunlun, just tell me what you want to say!" The old village chief didn't have a good impression of Lin Kunlun, thinking that he was a gambler. Although he had heard that he had changed recently, who knew how long this change would last.

"Uncle, I have dug some herbs and mountain products these days and plan to transport them to the town to sell. I would like to borrow your wheelbarrow for a while and I will return it as soon as I am done tomorrow." Lin Kunlun explained. He would not hide the matter of herbs for too long. Because if Baicaotang accepted it, he would organize the villagers to dig more herbs and process them together, which would also prevent the villagers from starving to death due to lack of food.

"Does anyone in town still want these herbs?" Although the old village chief didn't have much experience, his eyes lit up when he heard Lin Kunlun's words. Seeing that the harvest this year was not good, their family was also short of food. If the herbs could be sold, it would be a good idea. There are still a lot of herbs on this mountain, and you can make a living from the mountain.

"There is only one Baicaotang in the town that buys these fresh herbs, but the quantity is not much," Lin Kunlun added.

"In that case, it won't be of much use!" said the old village chief with a sigh.

"Uncle, are you worried that everyone is out of food?" Lin Kunlun thought about organizing the villagers to collect and make herbs together. If the old village chief came forward, it would be much smoother.

"Yes! This year, we can see that there is no harvest! We don't know if the imperial court will come to collect the autumn tax! Even if the imperial court does not collect taxes! I'm afraid that few families will have enough food to survive!" The old village chief sighed as he watched his two grandsons happily eating sorghum cakes. Even their family relied on wild vegetables to survive. It was even more unimaginable for other families.

"Actually, I have the same idea! Let the villagers help me collect herbs and I will take them to the town to sell them to Baicaotang! However, the number of materials needed by Baicaotang is still limited! So I plan to learn from Baicaotang how to process these herbs! When the time comes, the villagers will work with me to process these herbs! The processed herbs can be stored for a long time! In this way, we can transport them to a county town farther away to sell!" Lin Kunlun said after thinking for a while.

"Your idea is good! How about this, I will call several village elders here tomorrow! Let's discuss it carefully!" The old village chief said with his eyes brightened up after hearing this.

The two discussed the details for a while before Lin Kunlun pushed the wheelbarrow back.
