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

Zhou Da and Zhou Er looked at each other, and seeing the villagers' trust and gratitude towards Lin Kunlun, they could not help but feel an inexplicable bitterness in their hearts. They remembered that in the past, Lin Kunlun was always the weak man who was played around by them and manipulated by them. Every time they gambled, they took advantage of him and drained Lin Kunlun's savings. But now, Lin Kunlun has become the savior of the whole village. How can they accept this?

Zhou Er felt indignant and couldn't help but suggest: "Zhou Da, why don't we go to the mountain to pick some herbs and bring them to Baicaotang to try?" There was a gleam of unwillingness in his eyes, as if he wanted to regain some lost dignity.

Zhou Da thought for a moment, nodded, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes: "Okay, let's go collect herbs too. When we ask about the price, we will expose Lin Kunlun's price difference and see if these villagers will still be grateful to him!" He already had a plan in his mind. As long as he let the villagers know that Lin Kunlun made a profit from it, their position would be stabilized again.

Lin Kunlun didn't pay attention to Zhou Dazhou's little trick. He carried the full bamboo basket and returned home with the old village chief. The yard was full of various herbs, and Lin Shi's brothers and sisters were sorting them carefully.

The old village chief pointed at the herbs in the yard and said with a smile, "Kunlun, today many villagers brought herbs to exchange for food. Some villagers had too few herbs, so I asked them to exchange them together." His words were full of praise and gratitude for Lin Kunlun.

Lin Kunlun nodded and said seriously: "Old village chief, in the future, ask the villagers to hand in the herbs they picked in different categories. It will be too much trouble to deal with them if they are mixed together. We have to dry these herbs before we can sell them in the town."

The old village chief looked at the messy herbs in the yard and nodded: "You are right, I will go and tell the villagers now. It is indeed much more convenient to pick them according to categories." His words were full of trust and dependence on Lin Kunlun.

"Kunlun, the village is really grateful to you this time. Every bite of these food is life-saving!" said the old village chief with emotion.

Lin Kunlun smiled slightly and said, "Old village chief, we are all from the same village, and we should help each other. And I heard from the town that the drought is very widespread, and the court may increase taxes. By then, many villages that are barely maintaining their existence will not be able to hold on." His words revealed his concern for the future of the village.

The old village chief frowned upon hearing this and said, "This is what I am most worried about. We are located in the southwestern mountainous area, and many places are not suitable for farming. Due to the drought in the past two years, many places have already lost all their crops. If the court continues to increase taxes, there will really be a big mess."

Lin Kunlun took a deep breath and said, "Old village chief, we need to make plans early. I wonder if there is a place in the nearby mountains suitable for us to hide temporarily?" His eyes revealed firmness and determination, and he was ready to face future difficulties.

"Our village is surrounded by mountains on both sides. There is a canyon behind the eastern mountain. It is okay if we need to take shelter temporarily. But food will be a big problem over time!" The old village chief frowned and said, "However, the powerful Dakun Empire should not force us into that situation!"

"Old village chief! It's better to be prepared! I heard the news in town! The barbarians in the north have been very dishonest now! The Dakun Empire has mobilized a lot of manpower and resources to defend against them! Most of the western regions are in drought! So the tax knowledge is probably true! There is more than a month left before the tax collection! If we are not prepared at all, what will really happen? Then everyone in this village may be in danger!" Lin Kunlun said to the old village chief!

In such a small mountain village, everyone is concerned about themselves and whether they can fill their stomachs. They never think about what happens outside that will affect them. They will regret it when bandits or the army come to kill them one day. This is an extremely backward environment. Therefore, Lin Kunlun's reminder played a big role, and the old village chief fell into silence. After a long time, he raised his head with a serious expression on his face: "This matter is very serious and cannot be sloppy! Kunlun, is there any way to raise food? As long as there is enough food, we have all come to this mountain! Even if there is an emergency, we still have the possibility of survival!"

"Under the current situation, I'm afraid that there will be no food to sell in the town soon, so what we can do is to store as much food as possible! Store some in the mountains!" This is actually an excuse for your difficulties. If he takes out the food from the space at that time, it won't be impossible to explain. He can say that he hid the food in the mountains in advance.

Since Lin Kunlun came to this world, he always felt insecure. Unlike modern society, where there is enough material satisfaction, in the current situation, even ordinary food is difficult to satisfy. Not to mention developing business like in the current society.

After seeing off the old village chief, Lin Shi and his friends had already divided the herbs.

"Dad, why did you come back so late today!" Lin Hua ran over and asked.

"Look what I found in the mountains today!" Lin Kunlun smiled, pointing to the bamboo basket he had placed next to him!

There was a large portion of sweet potatoes in the bamboo basket. It was covered with a layer of sweet potato vines. When I came back to find Lin Kunlun just now, I deliberately put a piece of clothing on it to prevent other villagers from seeing it!

"What is this? Is it Pueraria root?" Lin Shi took out a sweet potato and looked at it. Because Li Haoyue told them last time that Pueraria root can be eaten, they guessed that this thing is Pueraria root!

"This is called sweet potato! I didn't expect to be so lucky to find sweet potatoes today! If this thing is planted in the ground, the yield will be much higher than sorghum and the like! Moreover, this thing can be eaten raw, or made into many foods!" Lin Kunlun smiled, took a sweet potato, washed it casually, broke it into pieces and gave them to the four children.

"Look at what this thing tastes like!"

Lin Hua is the most greedy of the four children. Because she is the youngest, the other children usually eat before her.

Lin Hua didn't care about the sweet potato skin and bit into it directly. She chewed it up and swallowed it with the skin.

"So sweet! I've never eaten anything so delicious! Sweet and pink!" She shouted excitedly, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Lin Shi and Lin Hua are both children who love to eat. After hearing their sister’s comments, they both swallowed their saliva.

Lin Shi picked up a piece of sweet potato and took a bite carefully.

"So sweet~!" He couldn't help but exclaimed!

Lin Hua and Lin Shi had similar reactions. Lin Shui put a piece of sweet potato into his mouth and chewed it for a few times. "Mmm! It's really sweet!" His expression became extremely intoxicated! He quickly swallowed the piece of sweet potato in his hand, even the skin.

Lin Yan looked at the sweet potato in her hand, hesitated a little, and finally took a bite.

"Hmm~!" Lin Yan looked happy and intoxicated! This is much better than the kudzu root I ate last time. You know, kudzu root doesn't have much water. It tastes like biting a tree root. This sweet potato is different. Not only is it rich in water, it also has a sweet taste. It's not that hard to bite.

"What are you eating?" Liu Ye had already prepared dinner. It was porridge made by the sorghum group. Although Lin Kunlun had some food in the past few days, it was just some sorghum powder and flour, so the food was actually very simple!

"Mom! These are the sweet potatoes that Dad brought back! They are so delicious!" Lin Hua smiled and picked one up and said to me.

"What is this! Can this be eaten directly?" Liu Ye asked as she took a look at the sweet potato. The most important thing was that they had never seen this thing before.

"You'll know if you try!" Lin Kunlun stepped forward to help her break the sweet potato. This kind of sweet potato is the more traditional white sweet potato. But maybe it's because. Now in the fallen leaves in the forest. Your soil dye is very good. Is there anything hard, so the sweet potatoes are all very big!

Liu Ye carefully took a bite of the white sweet potato!

"Hmm, hmm, delicious!" Liu Ye nodded. She picked up a sweet potato and put it in her mouth. A sweet fragrance instantly filled her throat and went all the way to her stomach!

This sweet potato tastes better than the kudzu root last time.

"What is this?" Lin Hua asked, holding a piece of white sweet potato.

"Sweet potato! This is a good thing. The yield is very high! The most important thing is that it can really fill your stomach!" Lin Kunlun looked at Lin Hua and said with a smile.

"Boss, how do you recognize this thing? I don't remember having this sweet potato here before!" Lin Hua asked puzzledly.

"This! I saw a caravan bringing this thing from a very far place when I went to the county town before, but the price was quite expensive!" Lin Kunlun was at a loss for words for a moment.
