Ji Mao Tou was a subordinate Leng Yuan had taken in unexpectedly. He was from the County Town and often hung around the black market, so he was very familiar with how things worked there and had some connections.
Whenever Leng Yuan needed to collaborate on something, he would look for Ji Mao Tou.
Ji Mao Tou had a rather pitiful background. His parents died young, and he nearly starved to death back when food was scarce.
By chance, he ran into Leng Yuan, who happened to be visiting the County Town at the time.
Leng Yuan gave him two cornbread buns, which saved his life. From then on, Ji Mao Tou treated Leng Yuan like his own big brother.
At the time, although Ji Mao Tou had a County Town residence permit, he had no job and no land, and spent his days idling about.
So, Leng Yuan gradually had him help deal with some goods, allowing him to earn money from it.
Slowly, he started handling other goods as well.
Over time, he became known as the Third Master of the area.
