After entering the book, I took the heroine's space and lived in the end of the world

Su Yue tapped the table lightly, her eyes lingering on the village chief for a moment, and she slowly said, "First, you must leave after buying food, and don't gather outside. If you get heatstroke again, I won't let Uncle Wu go out to save you.

As for food, you can pay according to the outside price. As for water, I won’t charge you, but each family can only take one bucket of water away.”

After hearing what Su Yue said, the village chief was filled with gratitude. If he was exempted from the water fee, he would have more money to buy food.

He quickly said, "Miss Su, you are such a good person. We will definitely abide by the conditions you proposed."

Su Yue nodded slightly and continued, "The second point is that you cannot tell the people in the neighboring villages about this."

The village chief was slightly startled, and then he understood Su Yue's worries. If people from the neighboring villages learned about this, they might flock to the tower. By then, even if the tower had more food and water, it would not be able to withstand the turmoil.

He quickly responded: “Miss Su, don’t worry, we will never tell this to people in the neighboring village.

We are very lucky to be rescued by the girl, and we will never bring unnecessary trouble to her."

Su Yue's eyes remained calm and steady: "As for the third point, no matter what happens on your way south, you must not turn back.

My tower is not a place that can provide unlimited supplies. I am helping you this time because you are from the same village as Jindong and you are pitiful. But if you are greedy and cause trouble again and again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The village chief said in a serious tone, "Miss Su, I understand everything. Your worries are reasonable. But don't worry, we villagers have made up our minds to escape the famine southward. Even if there are numerous difficulties and dangers along the way, we will not come back to bother you."

Su Yue nodded slightly, and the scrutiny in her eyes faded a little: "Since the village chief has agreed to the conditions, I will let Uncle Song take you to get food and water."

Upon hearing this, Song Mingtao immediately stood up and nodded to the village chief: "Village chief, please follow me."

The Xiaohe village chief still looked hesitant, and Su Yue signaled him to speak frankly.

The village chief then spoke bluntly: “Girl, we don’t want raw food, we want dry food, and we have discussed sending representatives from each family to buy food.

Please allow them to enter the tower, otherwise I can't carry so many things by myself."

Su Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and understood the village chief's considerations. Raw food would need to be cooked with water on the way.

This was indeed a lot of inconvenience for them while fleeing famine, while dry food was easy to carry and could be eaten at any time.

"The village chief has thought it through very carefully. As long as you don't cause trouble, it doesn't matter if some people come in. It's just that it takes some time to make the dry food, so you may have to wait a while." Su Yue said.

The village chief responded quickly: "It's good that Miss Su can agree. We can wait. This is the greatest gift from Miss Su to us."

Su Yue turned to Song Mingtao and said, "Uncle Song, ask Xiao Cui to bring a few aunts from the village to the kitchen to help. Make the dry food as soon as possible and sell it to the village chief and others at the market price."

Song Mingtao replied "yes" and took the village chief to find Xiao Cui to arrange the preparation of dry food.

Liu Cui was a girl with quick hands and feet. After hearing Song Mingtao's arrangement, she immediately called her mother and several familiar aunts to the kitchen.

As soon as the women in the village entered the kitchen, they began to work skillfully, some kneading dough, some lighting fires, and preparing dry food in an orderly manner.

Outside the tower, representatives from each family took buckets and entered the tower to get water under the organization of the village chief.

At the water collection point, Song Mingtao carefully watched the representatives from each household fetch water. Each representative carefully carried the bucket and could not help looking towards the kitchen.

They still have water. After all, there is no water shortage now, the water level has just dropped. What they lack is food.

One of the young men was already very hungry, and his stomach started growling when he smelled the aroma of noodles in the air.

The man's eyes were filled with anxiety, and he couldn't help but say to Song Mingtao: "Manager Song, how long do you think it will take for the dry food to be ready?"

Song Mingtao looked in the direction of the kitchen and consoled them, "It's almost there, it's almost there, Xiao Cui and the others are very quick, just be patient and wait."

The village chief also said, "Don't be anxious, Miss Su is willing to help us, it's already a great favor, why not wait a little longer."

After listening to the village chief's words, all the representatives nodded silently.

As time went by, the aroma from the kitchen became stronger and stronger. Finally, Liu Cui and the women came out of the kitchen with bamboo baskets full of pancakes. They were all sweating from making these pancakes.

After Liu Cui placed the pancake on the table in the courtyard, she said loudly, "The pancake is ready, Uncle Song, you can come and get it."

Song Mingtao led everyone to the table in the patio, where they saw the bamboo basket was filled with golden cakes. The aroma of the cakes filled the air, making everyone's stomach growl.

Song Mingtao looked at the villagers of Xiaohe Village with his eyes almost glued to the pancakes. He couldn't help but cough to remind the villagers.

“Our girl said that we will sell this cake to you at the market price. Recently, the price of food in the market has risen sharply, and the prices of other commodities have also increased a lot.

But since you are from the same hometown as Honeysuckle, I will sell you cakes at the previous market price of two cents a piece. Come and buy as many as you want."

After hearing what Song Mingtao said, the villagers were stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

They had thought that under the current circumstances, even if Miss Su was willing to help, the price of the cake would be ridiculously high. Unexpectedly, it was still sold at the previous market price.

The village chief took a step forward and said to Song Mingtao gratefully, "Manager Song, you and Miss Su are really kind people. This price is really fair."

Other village representatives also nodded. They each took out all the money in their homes, lined up and walked in front of Song Mingtao, eager to tell him the number of pancakes they needed.

The first person to come forward was an old man with half-white hair. He took out a tattered cloth bag from his arms, which contained a few copper coins.

He said in a hoarse but grateful voice: "Manager Song, my family is not large, only five people, but the children are still young, so we need to prepare more food. I want to buy thirty cakes." After that, he carefully counted out sixty cents and handed them to Song Mingtao.

Song Mingtao took the money, counted it, and confirmed that it was correct. Liu Cui took out thirty cakes from the bamboo weaving and handed them to the old man, saying, "Uncle Lin, these are thirty cakes. Take them. It's a long journey, so you must take care of yourself."
