Seeing Jiang Jiang pointing at the pile of materials with various colors, the shopkeeper's eyes brightened.

There is no way. Most people only buy green jade. I don’t know how long this pile of material has been there, and not many have been sold.

It just so happened that they were also moving back to the provincial capital, so carrying less on the journey would also reduce the weight.

After thinking for a few seconds, the shopkeeper spoke.

"Madam, the red and purple jadeite are thirty taels of silver, and the rest are fifteen taels of silver. You can choose whatever you like."

How much?

Jiang Jiang began to doubt his ears.

Did she just hear it wrong?

There are quite a few glass-type jadeites among them. Even if they are not imperial green, violet, red jadeite, spring-colored jadeite, aren’t they also very fragrant?

Jiang Jiang began to silently count the number of materials in the pile.

She was ready to take them all.

But that was not the case in the shopkeeper's eyes. He thought his price was too high. Thinking about how troublesome it would be for him and his group to carry such heavy items to the provincial capital, he gritted his teeth.

"If you buy all this material, it will only cost three hundred taels." The shopkeeper felt a little distressed.

He had spent nearly three hundred taels of silver to buy this batch of materials, and now he made almost no money.

How much?

Jiang Jiang once again doubted his ears.

For only three hundred taels, she can move these twenty or so pieces of material away?

The pair of glass beads she sold to the pawnshop in town was not worth even three hundred taels of silver.

Now she has exchanged it for a bunch of glass-type and high ice-type materials. Even if there are a few pieces of glutinous type among them, she has made a fortune.

Jiang Jiang was ecstatic inside, but his expression remained calm.

She casually asked about the price of another pile of green jadeite.

There would be no bargain for her this time. Any piece of material she liked would cost hundreds of taels, and the good ones would even cost five or six hundred taels, or even a thousand taels.

Forget it.

Jiang Jiang thought about it and decided that although it would be great to clear out the store, it was too risky and she should keep a low profile.

So she just bought all the colored jadeite. Seeing that she was so generous, the shopkeeper also gave her a fine Hetian jade ring as a gift.

After this battle, Jiang Jiang only had more than eighty taels of silver left, but she was not panicked at all. Instead, she felt a sense of pleasure that she had finally spent the money.

After all, money can only be called money when it is spent. If it is put into space, it is nothing.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Jiang planned to leave the city.

According to Aunt Zhao, people are allowed to leave the county town but not enter, so it would be convenient for her to leave the town.

Before leaving, Jiang Jiang rented a cart from a nearby family, put the grain, salt and some medicinal herbs on it, and sent the cart and the person out of the county town for a total of 15 cents.

Just as Aunt Zhao said, the soldiers at the door didn't say much even though they watched them transport the food out.

After all, the grain in the county is purchased in fixed quantities. To be able to get so much grain, one must know with one's imagination that the relationship behind it is complicated and it is not something that a small group of soldiers guarding the city can handle.

Li Shuming had been guarding the door with the villagers. When he saw Jiang Jiang waving at him, he hurriedly took the patrol team members to meet them.

Li Sheng even drew the knife at his waist, and the refugees around him who were ready to move suddenly stopped.

Li Shuming couldn't hide his joy. Everyone in the village knew that Jiang Jiang had used his connections to get into the county town, and they were all hoping that Jiang Jiang could come back and buy grain.

Doctor Qin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the herbs on the cart. If there were herbs in the village, he wouldn't have to be unable to make a living every time.

Everyone took everything off the cart. Jiang Jiang handed fifteen cents to the guy who rented the cart. After the payment and the goods were settled, he happily pulled the empty cart away.

Everyone in the village saw that this huge pile of food was brought by Jiang Jiang from the county town. Especially those families who didn't have much food at home, they were very grateful to her.

Jiang Jiang knew the principle of "a little kindness will be rewarded with a little resentment", so she did not take credit for herself. The money for buying food was paid by Li Shuming, and she even included the money for the medicinal materials into the fifty taels of silver.

Forty-five taels of silver worth of grain, two taels of silver worth of salt, three taels of silver worth of medicinal herbs, and some miscellaneous items, but it was only two or three hundred coins, and Jiang Jiang was too lazy to count them.

Li Shuming asked someone to find out about the prices in the city in the afternoon. He knew that food prices were not cheap and was worried that Jiang Jiang had to pay for it himself. The first thing he asked was whether Jiang Jiang had enough money and whether he needed some extra money.

Jiang Jiang smiled and shook his head, saying that the money was enough.

"Who knows if she secretly embezzled the money?"

Without having to hear the whole story, Jiang Jiang knew that Liang Xiaohua was just making sarcastic remarks. After she came to him to borrow grain a few days ago and was driven away by Li Xu and Li Sheng, the two families had completely fallen out.

Jiang Jiang knew that no matter whether she benefited from it or not, there would always be people who would think so, so she calculated the prices of these things very carefully. She would not take advantage of the villagers, and the villagers would not take advantage of her either.

Even if these people thought she had stolen the money, no one would pursue the matter for the remaining several hundred coins. Instead, they would be grateful to her.

After all, if we ask them to go to the county town, they might not be able to get the job done even if they spend a few taels of silver.

Jiang Jiang did not participate in the rest of the matters, she left it entirely to Li Shuming.

Li Changfeng stood behind Li Xu and gave her a thumbs up.

"Aunt, I knew you were capable."

Li Changfeng also joined the patrol team and was in the same team as Li Xu. He followed behind him all day long and was more like a follower than his younger brother Li Sheng.

Li Sheng: I have become desensitized, haha.

Li Wang is in great health now and is as lively as before. Li Chunhua has also regained her gossipy nature.

She squeezed through the crowd and came to Jiang Jiang.

"Sister Jiang, I'm telling you, you are the most capable person in Daxi Village. Everyone wants to go into the city, but no one goes in. Only you have the ability to go in and bring food out."

Jiang Jiang whispered two words to her.

"Zhou family."

Li Chunhua understood immediately and nodded while covering her mouth.

Very good, Jiang Jiang knew that she was fantasizing wildly at this moment. That’s it, you can imagine it yourself.

She is what she is now thanks to others, her distant relatives, the wealthy businessmen she rescued, and the powerful people she met. In short, she did not rely on herself.

That's it, it's best if everyone doesn't focus on her.

Li Shuming's distribution plan was also very simple. Those who had money to buy grain could come to him to buy it, and those who had no money could exchange it for other things. If someone had nothing, didn't they still have the land deed of Daxi Village?

At this time, the people of Daxi Village were not sure where to go. They followed the Zhou family to a place with abundant water resources. After this famine, maybe they could return to Daxi Village.

So, in everyone's opinion, the land in Daxi Village is still very valuable.

Except for Liang Xiaohua's family who had run out of food, no one was willing to exchange land for food.

Following Jiang Jiang's reminder, many families bought a lot of grain, and some even bought more grain than they sold at the time.

In the end, these thousands of kilograms of grain were divided up by a dozen families with insufficient food, which solved their urgent problem.

On the second day, the Zhou family arrived late, and everyone set out on the journey south again.

Jiang Jiang noticed that there was something wrong with Butler Zhou's expression.
