Chapter 141: Chapter 138: It’s Miraculous, After All, Money Is Power

A hundred jars?

Why don’t you just go to heaven?

Jiang Mingyue knew that the wine-loving DNA in her cousin was acting up again. In her previous life, her fifteen-acre basement wine cellar housed almost all the famous wines of the entire galaxy. While others collected famous watches and cars, her cousin loved to buy and collect wine from her.

"No, don’t be greedy! I only brewed ten jars in total." Yeah, right!

"Give them all to your brother, go get them quickly."

See, her brother’s mouth in this world is glued to her shoulder. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Jiang Mingyue went back into the space and brought out the other nine jars.

"Brother, drink less, don’t squander your body just because I have a pharmacy." Didn’t you suffer from stomach bleeding in our past life?

"I know, nag! By the way, there hasn’t been any grain at the food counter for half a month. Give me some of yours."

The siblings returned to their previous courtyard.

After calculating her total inventory, two months’ worth, she had ten thousand pounds of flour, a hundred thousand pounds of rice, two hundred thousand pounds of cornmeal, and ninety thousand pounds of sweet potatoes. Jiang Ming’an took all her flour, fifty thousand pounds of rice, and five pounds of sweet potatoes.

"That’s enough."

Jiang Mingyue swept the corresponding quantities of supplies out of the space.

After Jiang Ming’an went back, he brought a group over to weigh the goods onsite. The accountant recorded the amounts, and after signing the papers, the cashier took Jiang Mingyue to collect her money.

The cashier looked delighted, but didn’t speak to her, and Jiang Mingyue was too lazy to break the ice. After all, she didn’t need to.

When she smoothly received thirteen thousand two hundred in cash along with a pile of coupons, Jiang Mingyue felt a surge of emotion.

They hadn’t discussed price before; she assumed the last time’s rate, only half of what Pan Zhoucong gave her. She wasn’t expecting much, just helping her cousin with his work. But what did she see? Not only did they match Pan Zhoucong’s price, but also gave her coupons?

That’s just benevolent! Such generosity could almost make her kick Pan Zhoucong out!

But after meeting Xiao Xiao, Jiang Mingyue couldn’t laugh anymore.

"Didn’t you know? It’s been over a month. Many places have been hit by disasters, crops have been washed away, and many areas are now lacking food. Nowadays, as long as you can buy grain, the price has sky-rocketed and is dictated by the seller."

Gu Xiaoxiao hadn’t noticed, and a certain Ming Yue was already clenching her teeth hard. If Jiang Ming’an were here, he might get beaten up. What did she say? Her brother is such a screw-up.

Before she could even collect her expression, the cashier who had been there earlier chased after her, breathlessly saying, "Mr. Jiang is waiting for you at the door; don’t leave by yourself."

Jiang Mingyue immediately smiled bright, "Okay, thank you, sister."

For some reason, the cashier felt a bit intimidated by Jiang Mingyue’s smile.

After the cashier left, Gu Xiaoxiao continued their conversation.

"Yueyue, you wouldn’t know, but in the half-month Director Jiang was gone, the subsidiary food department was a complete mess. The guy who replaced Xue Hong, named Xue Sunjie—oh right, you might not know Xue Hong.

He used to be a colleague of your brother and a good friend too. Later, somehow he ran himself into a tractor, turning himself into a vegetative state. But his luck is better than others; even in that state, he woke up. It attracted many experts to come, and now Nanxi City’s surgery department is a star in the industry, with many bigwigs coming to check it out."

Nanxi City Surgery? Her original brother was in the general surgery department at Nanxi City Hospital! But a small place like Nanxi City’s hospital doesn’t have detailed departments, with only internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery. Jiang Mingyue guessed the surgery department was Jiang Shuangyi’s general surgery.

Oh! There’s a chance to interact with influential people, the medical enthusiast would be happy.

"Yueyue, Yueyue..."

"Huh?"

Gu Xiaoxiao didn’t mind her momentary distraction and continued explaining, "It’s amazing that vegetative colleague woke up, right?"

Jiang Mingyue: Of course he woke up. It was the divine medicine of four hundred years later, a miracle worth ten thousand bucks; that wasn’t luck, it was cold hard cash.

"That Xue Sunjie, same surname as Xue Hong, I hear they’re relatives. But Xue Sunjie is really annoying, with a garlic bulb nose, and clearly ugly, but still thinking he’s a heartthrob, acting all disgusting every time he comes to the counter. This time, when your brother was away on a business trip, he couldn’t wait to show off, claiming he could source food. And the result... The result was that the subsidiary food counter faced complaints every day, and he still hasn’t delivered a single grain.

Your brother is still amazing, the top twenty selling products in our mall are all brought in by him, and now that he’s back, he brought so much grain back with him. He’s practically the savior of the subsidiary food section!

By the way, Yueyue, you still haven’t said why you disappeared so long. I was going to look for you several times, but there were never any bikes in stock, and I felt embarrassed to bother you."

No bikes in stock? Tsk tsk, just praised my cousin, and yet his capabilities need a boost after all!

"No worries, it’s not your fault. By the way, our village has built a brick and tile factory, and they’re already on the second kiln of bricks. If you have time, come over, and I’ll take you to see the site."

"Really? You guys are amazing. I have a day off next week; I’ll come find you then."

"Great, I’ll be waiting." With that, Jiang Mingyue took out two bottles of jam and two pine-baked chickens from under the cover in the basket for Gu Xiaoxiao.

Gu Xiaoxiao was a bit embarrassed, "Yueyue, I didn’t know you were coming, and I didn’t prepare anything."

"It’s alright. I’m not here to trade food with you. I made this jam myself; it’s great with steamed buns."

"Okay, thank you, Yueyue."

Seeing that her cousin still hadn’t come, Jiang Mingyue went with Gu Xiaoxiao to pick out what she wanted to buy.

"Give me some more of the big basin."

Gu Xiaoxiao didn’t ask any questions and swiftly brought over all the inventory.

"Do you have some paper and pens?"

Gu Xiaoxiao proudly lifted her chin, "Yes, our Director Jiang is unbeatable; there’s nothing he can’t do, only things you can’t think of."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." What’s up with the bikes being out of stock then?

"These, these, these notebooks, pencils, fountain pen ink, I’ll take all of them, and ten notebooks."

Jiang Mingyue thought about what else the house might be missing, but couldn’t think of any.

After paying, she was ready to wait for her cousin at the door. Passing by the clerk who liked to cause trouble, she heard a sarcastic snort. It wasn’t harmful, but it was indeed annoying.

Jiang Mingyue decided not to leave, smiling as she stared at this female comrade with a name tag saying Duan Min.

Her spiritual power had already slipped into the other’s sea of consciousness.

Duan Min: A native of Zhushan Village. Five years ago, when a brother from the same village returned for a visit, this Ms. Duan Min targeted him, proactively pursuing him. Unfortunately, the brother was married with a daughter, but having someone deliver themselves like that was neither a huge deal nor a minor one. With someone like Duan Min, it was definitely not minor. Fortunately, her demand was only for a job.
