Chapter 23 Preparations Before the Famine
Jiang Mumu was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Lu Zhaoqing.

The man's brows and eyes were cold, and he looked at Jiang Mumu very calmly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

But for some reason, when Jiang Mumu heard these words, she was taken aback for a moment.

"Jiang Mumu, people change."

Lu Zhaoqing said so.

Jiang Mumu stared at Lu Zhaoqing.

Probably because Lu Zhaoqing's words were too heavy, Jiang Mumu couldn't recover for a while.

"So, Lu Zhaoqing, are you willing to trust me?"

Jiang Mumu tentatively opened her mouth and asked cautiously.

If everyone will change, then she has become like this now, is Lu Zhaoqing willing to believe her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mumu looked at Lu Zhaoqing expectantly.

Lu Zhaoqing just looked at Jiang Mumu and didn't answer immediately.

Just when Jiang Mumu thought that Lu Zhaoqing would not answer, and lowered her head in frustration, she finally heard Lu Zhaoqing's voice.

"Jiang Mumu, I can cook delicious meals."

"What?" Jiang Mumu didn't quite understand the meaning of Lu Zhaoqing's words.

Lu Zhaoqing paused, and continued: "I used to cook food that may be difficult to eat, but now I can also make food delicious."

"It may be difficult for you to change your personality, but at least for now, you haven't lied to me."

When Lu Zhaoqing said this, he paused every word, and his tone was very sincere.

"So Jiang Mumu, I'm willing to try to trust you."

Don't know why.

Lu Zhaoqing clearly only said a very common sentence.

Jiang Mumu's eyes instantly became moist.

She lowered her head, trying to make herself look less embarrassed, and she didn't want Lu Zhaoqing to see her current appearance.

She has never been trusted.

Whether in modern times or in this time and space.

Jiang Mumu was actually rarely trusted.

They say that businessmen can do many things for profit.

So no matter when, for a "businessman" like Jiang Mumu, she is always the one to be guarded against.

It is rare for someone to say "I believe in you" to her.

Now that Jiang Mumu heard such words, she felt somewhat emotional.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head to cover her expression, but her body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

"Jiang Mumu?"

Lu Zhaoqing called out Jiang Mumu's name.

Jiang Mumu didn't answer.

Lu Zhaoqing frowned slightly and walked towards her.

"Jiang Mumu?"

"Well, I'm here."

This time, Jiang Mumu finally answered. She lowered her head and didn't look up at him, but there was a cry in her voice.

Lu Zhaoqing also understood that she was crying.

He coughed lightly and frowned.

"Jiang Mumu, did I say something excessive?"

Lu Zhaoqing is a straight man, so I don't know why she is crying.

Jiang Mumu laughed through her tears when she heard the words: "No, I'm just very grateful that you are willing to trust me. I am rarely trusted by people, so I find it incredible."

Lu Zhaoqing frowned slightly.

He didn't expect Jiang Mumu to say that.

He only knew that Jiang Mumu was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and she should have been spoiled and raised, so why was she "not trusted"?

Lu Zhaoqing has always been cautious.

So, he originally wanted to ask her why.

Just looking at Jiang Mumu's current situation, he couldn't ask all the questions.

I don't know how long it took.

Jiang Mumu heard a sigh coming from her head.

In the next second, Lu Zhaoqing's slender finger bones landed on the edge of her eye sockets.

The warm, callused fingertips gently wiped Jiang Mumu's tears.

Lu Zhaoqing's voice was hoarse and stiff, and it seemed that he was not used to comforting others.

"Jiang Mumu, don't cry."

"Hey, is this why I don't cry if I don't want to?" Jiang Mumu couldn't help complaining when he heard him speak straight.

"But when you cry, it's like I'm bullying you."

Lu Zhaoqing said this, as if complaining with some dissatisfaction: "Jiang Mumu, I'm not the kind of person who takes out my anger on my wife because of my incompetence."

Jiang Mumu laughed unconsciously when she heard the words.

This guy, how do you say it seems to make some sense?
-
In the next few days, Jiang Mumu became busy again.

Not only did he have to bring new villagers to familiarize himself with the work, he also received more entrusted work from post stations, and Jiang Mumu's "express station" became bigger and bigger.

But after all, in the ancient times when there was no convenient means of transportation, even "express stations" could only be active between a few villages.

If the distance is too far, not to mention the labor cost of the distance between the two places and the cost of horse feed, even the "express" delivery will take a few days, and it may be too late when it arrives at the place.

Jiang Mumu thought, when the opportunity arises, perhaps this shortcoming can be improved.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Jiang Mumu led the villagers of Anping Village to continue working, and the income of Anping Village gradually increased.

Even the title of Jiang Mumu's "Express Station" in Anping Village can be regarded as a name.

Many post stations traveled thousands of miles to come to discuss cooperation with Jiang Mumu, and for a while, there was an endless stream of guests at Lu Zhaoqing's doorstep.

Before I knew it, another month had passed.

Jiang Mumu counted the time, and it seemed that the famine was less than a month away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mumu frowned unconsciously.

There is a lot of food in Jiang Mumu's space.

Not to mention famine, even if they don't farm the land all their lives, they won't starve to death.

It's just that the current Jiang Mumu doesn't know the cause of the famine, and doesn't know what the result of the famine is. Regarding the unknown, Jiang Mumu still worries for no reason.

Jiang Mumu's eyes fell on the two little dumplings not far away.

She narrowed her eyes, worry flashing in her eyes.

Lu Jingheng and Lu Chengan.

She will never let the two little groups have trouble!
Jiang Mumu has been stockpiling food recently.

——It's not accurate to say that, to be precise, it's Jiang Mumu who is saving food for her world.

Now the income of the people in Anping Village, except for a few families who did not participate in her "express point", almost all of them have doubled their income.

Jiang Mumu is now their "boss", so at the end of the second month, when wages were paid, Jiang Mumu gave each of them a few bags of food.

It's called a reward for everyone.

Jiang Mumu remembered that during the famine at that time, many people died in Anping Village, most of them were caused by lack of food.

So Jiang Mumu specially bought a lot of food from the county town and distributed it to them.

Can help a little is a little.

Jiang Mumu knew that since it was in the game, the chances of these processes being changed were very small, so the safest way was to plan ahead and get ready before the famine came.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mumu's expression turned cold again.
