After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 223
In addition to caring for her as always, Chen Xinglou mentioned in the letter that she should reserve food as soon as possible.

Chen Xingyan was a bit puzzled at first, how could his elder brother know this because he is a scholar who neither farms nor collects grain?
At the end, Chen Xinglou mentioned something vaguely. He also inadvertently learned about it from a senior official's son. It seems that the absence of drought in Gaoyang County does not mean that there is no drought in other places.

Chen Xingyan thought of a lot at once.

She was careless before.

I have been leaning to one corner, and my brain is not working well, and my thinking is too narrow.

The Dazhi Dynasty has a vast land and resources, and Gaoyang County is peaceful, but it does not mean that other places are also peaceful.

After Chen Xingyan figured out these key points, he couldn't help but rejoice that he had already started to stockpile food earlier.

Not only here, she also went to her own field for a few days, and carefully fed some supernatural powers to the Lu family's field, at least to ensure that these crops would have a better harvest.

Of course, it can't be exactly the same as last year, otherwise, wouldn't it make people see heresy?
Other people's harvest of one mu of land is [-]% less than in previous years, and his family's land harvest is [-]% less, so it will not be too conspicuous.

The key is to find a way to prepare more food, because once the drought comes, no one knows how long it will last.

After their new house was completed, Lu Laohan and Da Xiong worked busy for several days before they dug a hidden underground kiln, which was bigger and could store more grain.

When the Lu family built their house, they had an underground kiln in front of them. Almost every household had this thing. It was used to store food, and it was used to store Chinese cabbage, white radish and sweet potatoes in winter.

Now the Lu family has two, and the underground kiln, which has not been used much, has been used this time.

The underground kiln dug by Lu Daxiong and the others is in the backyard, and ordinary people would not come here, and even if someone really broke in, they would not generally think that there would be two underground kilns in their house.

After all, the underground kiln in the front yard is quite obvious.

After Lu Daxiong read the letter from his uncle, he could guess what his daughter-in-law was thinking without asking.

"Does your yamen have a place to store food?"

Lu Daxiong nodded and said, "Yes, but it will alarm other people."

"You want to hide some food secretly?"

"This kind of thing is hard to say, and no one can be sure where it will go. People die for money, and birds die for food. Who knows when this food will become a life-saving thing?"

Chen Xingyan thought about it, and felt that he was right. This era was inherently unstable, and the Dazhi Dynasty was just established decades ago. Who knows if there will be any turmoil someday?

It's always good to have more food.

Chen Xingyan's income here is quite a lot. Even if she no longer produces precious medicinal materials and flowers, she can still buy a lot of food.

Moreover, the granary at Zhuangzi has been built. By autumn, it is estimated that all the houses will be built on the same land. By then, they can move the whole family to live there. The scenery is beautiful, quiet and comfortable.

Chen Xingyan asked people to buy a large amount of coarse grains and put them in the most conspicuous granary in the village. Apart from corn, there were dried sweet potatoes, sorghum rice, and buckwheat.

Lu Daxiong only silently supported his daughter-in-law's behavior of being able to hoard things. After all, he married in by himself, so what can he do, coax!
In fact, Lu Laohan and Wang didn't think it was necessary to stock up too much. After all, they still had a harvest this year, and their own fields were quite a lot. No matter how little the harvest was, it was enough for the whole family to eat.

The reason why Chen Xingyan hoarded so much was of course not just for the more than 100 people in Zhuangzi, she thought more about it.

Before the earthquake in Ying County, many victims went to Anyang County. Who knew that after the drought elsewhere, Gaoyang County would take in a large number of victims again?
Also, even if there are no victims, food prices will definitely rise by then, so it is better to save some money now, so as not to worry about money in the future.

This day, Chen Xingyan took a carriage to the Chen Mansion in the county seat, and came out of the Chen Mansion after more than an hour.

A well-dressed young gentleman happened to pass by, and when he saw such a beauty, he couldn't walk with his legs.

"Quickly go and find out, whose family's little lady is this!"

The entourage took a look and said: "Young master, judging by the dress of this lady, she should be married as a woman."

The implication is that if someone has an owner, you can just stop and stop.

Who knew that the young master's face sank and said: "If you are told to go, go, if you talk too much, you will be punished yourself!"

"Yes, son."

Chen Xingyan later noticed that someone was following the carriage, and after frowning slightly, he ordered Xiao Liu to go straight back to the town, then make a few more laps, and then return to the village by the small path.

Sure enough, when he left the town, no one followed him anymore.

However, Chen Xingyan didn't feel so relaxed, because the carriage she was riding in was quite unique, with the emblem of Ruyi Workshop on it, if the other party wanted to, they wouldn't be able to find her after asking.

The aristocratic Mr. Cheng entered Fan's mansion angrily, but was stopped by the porter as soon as he entered.

"Mr. Cheng, the master is waiting for you in the study. He said he has something important to discuss."

"What's the matter? I'm busy, I don't have time!"

Cheng Wenbin turned around and walked towards his own residence, ignoring the concierge at all. Obviously, this also did not take Fan Juren seriously.

The concierge was so frightened that he didn't dare to show his breath, and only after Mr. Cheng had gone far away did he rush to the study.

When Fan Juren heard that Cheng Wenbin was in a bad mood, he hesitated for a while. After all, he was asking someone to do something. Now that the other party is in a bad mood, and he rushes to his door, it may not be possible.

It's no wonder that Cheng Wenbin looked down on Fan Juren. He was from the Cheng family in Fucheng. The doorway is quite wide.

Mrs. Fan and Cheng Wenbin were distant relatives, and could barely be called his cousin. This Mr. Cheng also came to Anyang County to temporarily avoid the limelight because he caused trouble in the provincial capital.

After coming here for a few days, I just feel that this place is too poor, there is nothing delicious and interesting, and it is inevitable to be a little irritable for a while.

When I went out today, I finally met a lovely lady, but I lost her again. Cheng Wenbin was upset at this time, and naturally he didn't have a good look at anyone.

"Young master, don't be angry. Although I lost you, there is a sign on the carriage. As long as our people go to inquire, there will be news."

Cheng Wenbin, who was lying down, sat up suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
