The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 50 50 Water storage, food storage

Zhou Jia returned home and said Xia Tao's words to his loyal servant Zhou Bo, and said to him: "Zhou Bo, please prepare more rice and water and store it up. Xia Tao said that there is a drought in some places in Daqi, and it will continue. It will also have an impact on Dayong."

Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "Master, there are still two months before the Chinese New Year. Even if the rice grains stored in the family encounter natural disasters, it will be no problem to eat them for three or four years. The drought in Great Qi should not affect us very much, or It is even more difficult to be stable in the court hall. If the third prince fails to wake up, the Queen's natal family is in control of the military. If the Queen's natal family," Zhou Bo pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I am afraid there will be military disasters!"

   Zhou Jia nodded in agreement, "You're right, but that's not something we can control."

"Yeah! You have vowed not to return to the Zhou family in the capital, and that succubus is still eyeing you, sending people to plot against you again and again," Uncle Zhou looked at Zhou Jia, "Fortunately you met a savior, otherwise this old slave How can I have the face to see the old man in the future!"

   Zhou Jia remembered Li Yu's smile and whispered, "Yeah! Thanks to her sending someone, I wouldn't have gotten to know her."

   Zhou Bo looked at Zhou Jia's smile and thought to himself: Young Master may have someone in his heart.

   Li Yu turned around and went back to the wing. Mrs. Li smiled and asked Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, are we not doing enough work?"

Li Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes, Aunt Li, Mr. Zhou said that he took some goods to Qingzhou Prefecture and sold them. It would be faster to sell if there were more people there. He wanted us to hire more people to do the work. Mr. Zhou asked us to hurry up to celebrate the New Year. Give us a red envelope."

   Mr. Li laughed happily after hearing this, "That feeling is good! This year, thanks to Mr. Zhou, let us all have a good year."

  Li Yu remembered Brother Chen Yaohui and asked Mrs Li, "Aunt Li, did Uncle Chen go to the town to find work?"

  Li shook his head, "No! It's hard to find a living now, and they are resting at home!"

   "Then ask Uncle Chen to help me fetch water for a few days! I want to fill up those cisterns."

   Mr. Li smiled heartily after hearing this: "Okay! Your uncle is also idle at home, I will let him come tomorrow."

   "Okay, then I'll trouble you." Li Yu said to Zhao Di again, "Cousin, tell your aunt I have something to go to town."

  Zhao Di looked up at Li Yu and said with a smile, "Okay, go and come back quickly!"

  Li Yu nodded and went to the cowshed to lead the cows out, put on a car and walked towards the town.

When they got to the town, Li Yuzhi Street went to the grain shop. They saw the old shopkeeper and the man sitting around the brazier and roasting the fire. When the two saw Li Yu, they greeted him attentively, and asked with a smile, "Miss, do you want to buy rice or buy rice? Cereals?"

  Li Yu glanced at the millet in the barrel, grabbed a handful and looked at it, "I want to buy millet, how much do you sell for one stone?"

   The old shopkeeper looked at Li Yu, "Girl, the price is higher now, seven hundred and fifty cents a stone."

Li Yu remembered that the millet he bought at the village chief's house was only 600 cents a stone. In just over two months, he gained 150 cents. Li Yu looked at the old shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper is cheaper, I Buy twenty stone."

   The old shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, "Little girl, you said that the price of food is not the same as before. If you are willing to buy it, it is this price, and there is no cheaper price."

   Li Yu smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Okay! It's expensive to buy it! So many people want to eat! You can put twenty stone on the car for me!"

   "Okay! Wait a minute!" The shopkeeper asked the staff to go in to get the food, turned his head and smiled at Li Yu: "Girl, let's sit and bake!"

Li Yu used to sit by the brazier, and the shopkeeper looked at Li Yu and said with a smile: "Girl, you won't suffer from buying grain now, and the price of grain will probably go up. I heard that there was a disaster there, whether it's true or not, or Save more food!"

   Li Yu looked at him with mock surprise, "The shopkeeper, where is the disaster? Is it serious?"

The old shopkeeper pointed to Daqingshan and said, "Daqi! I heard from the caravan who came back and said that in some places it hasn't rained much since the end of the year, and the cracks from the dry and cracked fields can even stick their feet in. There is money over there now, but you can't buy food."

   Li Yu smiled after hearing this, "Daqi is so far away from us, it has nothing to do with us as long as we are fine."

   The shopkeeper shook his head after hearing this, "You are young and don't understand. Daqi is in the north, and our Dayong is in the south. If they are dry, we will be flooded. This is the experience passed down by the older generation."

   Li Yu thought about it after listening to it, and thought it was right! Floods in the south and droughts in the north, I have heard of it in my previous life! Why did you forget it? Then what are you doing with the water?

Before Li Yu could figure it out, the man put the millet on the ox cart. After Li Yu counted it, he bought another 50 catties of flour, paid the money, bid farewell to the old shopkeeper, and drove the ox cart to Xishan Village. When the car arrived at the pass, Li Yu looked around at the station and made sure that no one around had stored all the millet in the space.

After saving the food, Li Yu thought to himself that there was so much food, even if it were a famine year, it would be enough for his sister, brother and aunt's family for two years. The news that Li Yu heard from the old shopkeeper today, Li Yu still plans to talk to Li Shi and the others mentioned it, it's up to them to believe it or not.

   Li Yu drove the ox cart back home, took the flour and put it in the stove, and went to the wing to see that Li Mei had returned.

   Li Mei looked at Li Yu and smiled, "I invited Aunt Chen and her eldest daughter, as well as your Aunt Ma and her daughter Xuelian, and...they will come to work tomorrow."

Li Yu counted that there were more than a dozen people, "Okay, a dozen more should be enough." Li Yu looked at Li Mei and changed his head, "Aunt, when I go to town to buy flour, I listen to the grain. The shopkeeper said that there is a drought in Daqi, and the price of food will probably increase, and he also said that there has always been drought in the north and floods in the south.

   Li Mei and the others were shocked when they heard it. Mrs. Li said, "What does the drought in Daqi have to do with us? It's so far apart."

   "I think so too," Li Yu looked at a few people, "Aunt Li, why don't you ask the village chief grandpa when you get home, is there any saying that the north is drought and the south is flooded?"

   Mr. Li looked solemn after hearing this, "Okay, I'll ask when I get home from work."

  Chen Qian put his hands together in prayer, "God bless us, we have finally had a good time, but don't make a famine!"

   After seeing everyone, they also put down their needles and threads and prayed sincerely.

After hearing the news that Li Yu brought back, they were all a little listless. After finally getting off work, Mrs. Li hurried back home, found Chen Yaohui and said urgently: "Ahui, let's go back to Dad's place, today's little one. The fish went to buy noodles, and the grain shop shopkeeper said that the drought in the north was very serious, and he also said that the north was drought and the south was flooded.”

Chen Yaohui was also confused after hearing this. Without a word, he dragged Mrs. Li and walked towards the village chief's house. When the two arrived at the house of the village chief, Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes when she saw the two of them and squinted at them, "You two come back here. What are you doing?"

  Chen Yaohui also rolled his eyes at her with a sarcastic expression, "Come to see my father! It's hard to see you."

   Liu's face turned blue with anger, but he didn't dare to talk any more, watching Chen Yaohui and his wife enter the house.
