Chapter 113: Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade

Before leaving,

Zhou Lingling also asked Old Mrs. Chen, "Grandma, I see that food prices have gone up quite a bit recently. Do you have any food left at home?"

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Chen also sighed.

"We have some at home. At the beginning of the month, your uncle heard that food prices had gone up, so he bought over 60 kilograms of it in one go. I was wondering what would happen if so much food went bad?"

"It's only been a short time, and food prices have almost doubled. I don't know if they'll continue to rise..."

As she spoke, the old lady asked with concern, "Where are you at home?"

"Did your mother buy some more food for the house? There's a tavern over there and so many guards. With so many people, is there enough food?"

Zhou Yun poked his head out and interrupted, "Grandma, we have enough food at home! Don't worry!"

As early as when their family just started making wine, my sister asked my father to find a way to buy a lot of grain and store it at home, not to mention that a lot of new grain was planted in the land in their village!

Zhou Lingling had also revealed this matter to the old lady, so when she heard Zhou Yun say this, Old Lady Chen felt relieved.

"That's enough, that's enough!"

Zhou Lingling pulled her grandmother aside and whispered, "Sixty kilograms of food won't last long. Ask your uncle to buy some more. If you don't have enough money, just ask Ieyasu to tell my mother."

"Food is tight now, and pigs in all villages have to be sold in advance. I'm afraid my grandfather's meat stall won't be open until the New Year. If there's too much meat that can't be sold, just send it to my house and we can handle it."

"When the new crops in the village are ready for harvest next month, I'll have my father send some over to you and your uncle and aunt."

Old Mrs. Chen scolded: "You little rascal, you're worrying about two families..."

"Don't worry, your grandfather has been selling pigs all his life, he knows what's going on, and we have some money at home. I'll let your uncle go buy more food this afternoon."

The old lady lovingly touched her granddaughter's head and said, "Don't worry too much. This year is not good. How much grain can the village harvest? There are so many people at home. There is no need to send it here."

Zhou Lingling glanced at the old lady with a proud look: "I'm afraid you'll be scared if I tell you this, but I can harvest a thousand kilograms of grain!"

Old Mrs. Chen smiled, but she didn't believe it at all.

"Okay, okay, I know my good grandson is capable! Then grandma will be waiting for your food."

While saying this, the old lady was actually thinking about asking her husband to buy more food so that if her daughter's family was short of food, she could help out...

Zhou Lingling also knew that the old lady didn’t believe her, but it didn’t matter. When her potatoes were ripe next month, the old lady would naturally believe her.

This time Zhou Chi returned to the academy not alone, but with a large group.

In addition to Zhou Laoer and his wife who have to stay at home to open the store, and Sang Lin and others who are responsible for the safety of the store.

Zhou Lingling, Zhou Yun, Xiao Yan, Fei Yu and others went to the farm opposite the academy.

Tie Yuan had already brought people to clean up the manor. The servants of the Xie Mansion who originally lived there had all run away long ago, and the rest were asked to leave by them.

According to Zhou Lingling, all the furniture in the rooms that had been lived in had been replaced.

The entire farm is not as large as the academy. In front of it is a large house with three courtyards. Although the Xie family is a merchant family, this house is built in great style.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a patio. After passing the screen wall, there is a courtyard and the main hall. Zhou Lingling looked at these mahogany furniture that were very valuable in later generations, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

I want to be a rich man too!

Walking further back is the courtyard. This courtyard is bigger than the courtyard where Zhou Lingling and her family live. There are four main rooms and two side rooms on each side.

Well... let Xiao Yan, Uncle Tie and the others live here!

There are two small courtyards next to it, one is the large kitchen and the other is the front study.

There are still many books left in the study, including some rare and unique copies. I'll keep them for my eldest brother!

The second courtyard is similar to the first, except that there is a small garden in the middle. It can be seen that the craftsmen who built this house were very attentive.

Zhou Lingling's family planned to live in the second courtyard. As farmers, they didn't have many requirements, so they decided to live in the same four main rooms as in the small courtyard for the family of five.

The side rooms are kept so that my grandparents can stay when they come.

Zhou Lingling knew that by the Chinese New Year, the first batch of refugees would appear in Yunshui County.

The unprepared Yunshui County was caught off guard. After the first food-grabbing incident, the government sent people to forcibly drive all the refugees who had entered the city out of the county.

These people had no choice but to go to nearby towns and villages.

Yunlai Town was the first to be affected, and there was even a period of chaos...

So Zhou Lingling thought that when the New Year was approaching, she would bring her grandparents to the farm in advance.

This place is far from the town and has its own separate house. Not far away is the Liu family's Mingzhao Academy.

As the saying goes, it’s nice to lean against a big tree for shade.

Zhou Lingling did not deny that one of the reasons she took a fancy to the Xie family's farm was because of the Liu family.

As for the three-story courtyard, Zhou Lingling planned to make it her own territory.

There were so many things in her space. These three high-yield crops were just the tip of the iceberg. She even had varieties of wheat and rice that were more productive and high-quality than those in the Yuan Dynasty. She also planned to transplant some of the medicinal herbs in her space...

Although there are more than 20 acres of land in the farm, as far as she knows, so much land is tenanted, so Zhou Lingling did not dare to cultivate these seeds outside.

After everyone had made their own arrangements, Zhou Lingling returned to her room carrying a small bag.

She plunged into space.

"One, two, three..."

A total of sixteen thatched huts, oh no, with Zhou Lingling's insistence, the thatched huts have been transformed into neat warehouses.

"Master, do we have to give away all this food?"

Fuguier looked at the fruits of his labor, feeling a little proud but also a little reluctant.

Although I didn't put in much effort, after watching these crops sprout, grow, and finally mature and be harvested for so many days, I still feel reluctant to give them to others!

Zhou Lingling stroked his chin and thought.

"In this space, the potato growing period has already been shortened by half. With the upgrade, we can harvest a batch of potatoes in less than a month. There's still a month left until the New Year. Counting this batch in the fields, we can harvest two more crops, while corn and sweet potatoes can only be harvested once..."

"Each sowing yield is ten times the previous one. Now, if we plant 10 mu of potatoes, we can harvest 30,000 kilograms. If we can plant 100 mu of land, we can harvest 300,000 kilograms of potatoes."

Three hundred thousand kilograms can be used to cultivate nearly a thousand acres of land. The entire Yunshui County covers an area of ​​more than 40,000 acres. Excluding mountains, forests and rivers, there are nearly 10,000 acres of arable land.

Still far from it.

However, Zhou Lingling did not intend to save everyone in Yunshui County by herself. She would do what she could, and if she couldn't, then it would depend on God's will.

Nearly a thousand acres of potatoes can ensure that most people will not starve to death.

Moreover, the farm here has 20 mu of land, and in two months, it can harvest nearly 60,000 kilograms...

Zhou Lingling felt relieved.

But before she could let go of her worries, Fuguier reminded her: "Master, have you forgotten the one who lives in the front yard?"

forecourt?

Who is it?

Zhou Lingling blinked and was suddenly struck by lightning.

"Fuck!"

She also wants to give half to Xiao Yan!
