f water shortage in Fangjia Village."Zhao the village head was stunned, his dejected expression instantly transforming into shock."You, can you make the decision">Chief Zhao excitedly slapped his thig...Even Fang Jinshu didn't know why she suddenly felt this way. During the three days she stayed in Luoshui City, she became sleepier and sleepier each day.

After the vegetable shop was set up, Jade Lotus became busy, working from dawn till dusk, bustling in and out of the shop.

Preparing for the opening.

Fang Jinshi invited an accountant from Fangjiacun. He paid the man one hundred and fifty jin of grain, promising he would stay in the city for a month to teach Yulian how to manage accounts.

During those days when she was drowsy, Zhao Xingzhou came once, but Fang Jinshi was still asleep at the time, so he left first.

As for Pan Zhi'an, there wasn't much movement from his side.

Three days passed in a blink, and Fang Jinshu reluctantly pulled herself up from the bed, her first action after opening her eyes was to ask Zhao Yi outside.

What time is it now

"Madam, it's almost noon."

When it was almost noon, Fang Jinshu's movements as she dressed came to a halt.

What's wrong with her lately Her body doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable in any way, she shouldn't be sick, so why is she so sleepy

Today is the day she sets off for Lishui Town, and also the day she receives the masters Zhao Xingzhou has gathered for her.

So today, no matter what, I can't sleep!

Fang Jinxiu got up with a refreshed spirit and ate breakfast and lunch.

When she was eating, she thought she must have overslept and was therefore extra hungry. She ended up eating twice as much as usual.

Looking at the three empty bowls in front of her, Fang Jinshu was a little stunned. A vague thought flashed through her mind.

Before she could figure out what it was, Zhao Yi's voice rang out from the kitchen doorway.

"Lady, my master has arrived."

Zhao Xingzhou brought all the masters!

Fan Jinshu immediately stood up, discarding the thought she had just had.

"Have him bring the people into the courtyard first, and tell Zhao Er to go to the vegetable stand to find Chang He back and tell him we are setting off."

"Yes."

Zhao Yi had just gone out for a while when Zhao Xingzhou walked in with a dozen or so people from outside, all standing in the courtyard.

Fan Jinshu looked at the empty bowl and thought to herself that she would come back later to study what was going on with her own body.

As soon as she stepped out, Zhao Xingzhou turned around and introduced himself to the crowd with his hands behind his back.

"This one is your true master, the one who hired you. You may call her Mistress Zong."

Fang Jinshi's gaze swept over these faces, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

I didn't expect Zhao Xingzhou to be able to find so many people for her in such a short time.

But are these people, truly all masters

Luoshui City was just a remote small town, and Fang Jinshu couldn't help but question the value of these masters.

Climbing the mountain is dangerous, she doesn't want to waste people's lives for nothing.

Zhao Yi brought Fang Jinshu a chair, and she naturally sat down. Her manner and bearing were so composed that one couldn't tell anything was amiss.

Those who have passed away naturally differ from others in terms of their vitality, energy, and aura.

Even though Fang Jinxiu wasn't wearing extravagant clothing, her body adorned with gold, silver, and jade made her appear noble and unattainable.

At first glance, she looks like a woman from a wealthy and noble family.

"Folks, I'm not one for beating around the bush."

"Since you all have come here today, I presume you've all made up your minds to take on this job of mine."

Immediately someone shouted, "That's natural, two hundred catties of grain per person, even if we had to fight to the death, it wouldn't be a problem."

Nowadays, in the city of Luoshui, everyone is stockpiling grain. Gold and silver are now less valuable than food.

No wonder so many people came, Zhao Xingzhou is really generous.

"Yes, two hundred jin of grain is not easy to obtain now."

Now it's my turn to screen you.

At this, everyone was taken aback. Someone asked,

"Miss Zong, what do you mean Are you questioning our martial arts skills, suspecting that we are frauds"

Some people were angry, others felt ashamed, but Fang Jinshi watched without arguing.

"Since you all have real skills, why bother fearing this hurdle of mine"

"Stop wasting time, my request is simple. Just defeat the two men standing beside me, and you pass."

"After completing the task, I will also give each person an extra basket of fresh vegetables and ten catties of salted pork."

Fang Jinshi had already learned how to handle these people. Hearing that there was still meat to be had, the people who had just felt angry after being questioned by her immediately compromised.

"Alright, let's fight. This old man's skills are all genuine. Today, I'll win food and supplies for my family."

A burly man with a bulging belly stepped forward and began to speak.

This guy, uh, it's clear he relies on brute strength. Even with all those layers of clothing, you can tell how muscular he is. His clothes can barely contain his physique.

Zhao Yi and Zhao Er were bodyguards raised by Zhao Xingzhou since childhood. Although they weren't top masters, they could still handle ordinary martial artists without much difficulty.

If one can defeat the two of them, then it means this person truly has formidable martial arts skills and some ability.s at first, turned red in the face with anger. He seemed determined to continue raising the price, but his servant stopped him.Fu Ming let out a chuckle."That idiotic young master down there, wouldn't...
