269 Dig a cellar
Moreover, the request of Li Zheng and Uncle Nineteen is that if the people in the village have grain in stock, no matter how high the price is, they are not allowed to sell a single grain, and if they do not have grain in stock, they should find a way to buy some and put it in the cellar, buy as much as they can, and the cellar will be full until it is full.

Uncle Nineteen also said again and again that today's affairs are not allowed to talk nonsense outside, just need to be done quietly.
Because he was afraid that these people would not obey, Uncle Nineteen's words were very serious, saying that if something happened outside talking nonsense, once it was verified, the Lin family's exception would be driven out of the village, and all other families with surnames would be driven out of the village and would never be allowed to come back.
The people in the village have lived in one place for so many years, until Uncle Nineteen is an old man with a public heart, and they know that he is a bit stubborn, but they have never seen Uncle Nineteen say something so harshly.
It's not that these people don't know the severity, so they don't say much at the moment.
However, if there are more people, then there is everything, although Uncle Nineteen said harshly, these people dare not go outside to talk nonsense, but in the end, there are some people who feel that Uncle Nineteen is too worried and do not obey to buy food.
The people of Xihe Village now have money to spare, as long as they have money, when will they not be able to buy food?
"Yuxiu, you can help me buy some food and save it, why do I always feel panicked." Qiao's family naturally also knew the news of the large-scale drought, and she found Lin Yuxiu to speak.
Although she clearly knew that Lin Yuxiu had food in her hands, she would not let her go hungry, but after so many years alone, she always felt that it was better to rely on herself.
has lived most of her life, and she has experienced a lot of ups and downs, but she doesn't want to suffer again when she gets old.
It's not that there is no money in her left and right hands, in addition to the money she saved a few years ago, the dividends and filial piety that Lin Yuxiu gave her in the past two years and the ground rent and the like, add up to hundreds of taels of silver in her hands, and they are all wealthy people in Xihe Village.
She is not confused, when there is really no food, those white flowers and silver are just good-looking, and they can't solve any problems at all.
Lin Yuxiu agreed, this was originally the same, although she could provide enough food for Grandma Qiao, but at that time, Grandma Qiao would feel a little uncomfortable, so it was better to prepare her in advance to make her feel at ease.
However, there are only her and two girls in Grandma Qiao's family, and those two girls are still Lin Yuxiu's people, so it is enough for Lin Yuxiu to buy her 2,000 catties of grain and save them.
This food is enough for the three members of Grandma Qiao's family to eat for a year or two. If the drought does last for two or three years, it is estimated that no one will survive without water. Therefore, there is no need to think about whether you will starve to death if you die.
Lin Yuxiu himself sent people to buy grain everywhere, and at the same time asked the fifth uncle to take the two brothers of Dahe Dachuan to dig a cellar on the mountain for emergencies.
She had a lot of food to store, and it would be too noticeable if she kept it all at home.
Even if the people in the village have food in stock, they won't be tempted, but what about the people outside? Who can guarantee that?
In Lin Yuxiu's view, it is always not safe enough to put life-saving things in the village at critical times, and it is safer to put them in the mountains.
Facts have also proved that Lin Yuxiu's idea is not redundant, but very reasonable.
Every household in Xihe Village buys grain for the same reason, that is, the people in the village have used the fields to grow flowers, and now there is no food, so they have to buy grain.
After hearing such a reason, some people think that it is possible, and they want to ridicule them for sacrificing their roots, what is the use of making money? Isn't it time to spend money on food?
Isn't it the same as not earning the money that you earned when you spend it like this? It is better to grow food comfortably, at least without worrying about food and clothing.
However, some people noticed that there was a different taste, and soon found the reason for the special weather this year, so they followed the trend to buy food. The food in the town has risen by two percent, and it continues to rise.
In the early morning of this day, Lin Yuxiu still woke up early to collect dew in the space, but found that the dew collected today was less.
Lin Yuxiu didn't care, thinking that maybe she got up late.
However, in the next few days, Lin Yuxiu found that there was less and less dew in the space, and the current harvest was not half of what she had before, and she suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
This time, the drought is not so easy to alleviate, after all, even the space has been affected by the outside world. If you say that, the drought is more severe than you can imagine.
Looking at the flowers in the space, Lin Yuxiu began to worry, and she didn't know if the flowers that were planted with great difficulty would also be affected and withered, and the flowers outside were basically not harvested this year.
Lin Yuxiu asked the fifth uncle and others to speed up the construction of the cellar, and on the other hand, he bought a lot of large tanks and stored a lot of water in the space. In Lin Yuxiu's view, this water may be life-saving.
It is not difficult to dig a cellar in the mountains, but the problem is that the cellar that Lin Yuxiu has to dig here is large and deep, and it must be moisture-proof and rat-proof. In addition, there are few people who come to work, and there are only two uncles and fathers, plus a few people from the Dashan and Dahe families, and the speed is obviously full.
It took a few people a month of hard work to dig two cellars that were not too small.
After Lin Yuxiu saw it, he felt very satisfied, if such two cellars were used to store grain, they could store a lot. Although there is no guarantee that the people of Xihe Village will be able to eat for a year and a half, it is almost the same.
"Yuxiu, every household in the village has a cellar, whose cellar is not enough to eat for a year? Why do you have such a big cellar? The fifth uncle asked a little puzzled.
How much grain does such a large cellar have to hold? Does this baby still think that it can be drought for ten or eight years?
I have never heard of a ten-year drought without rain, and if it really doesn't rain for so long, I'm afraid that people will not starve to death but die of thirst.
Lin Yuxiu also knew that the fifth uncle felt that she was doing this too much, but there were some things that she couldn't say more now.
So she just smiled and said: "Maybe I was hungry a lot in those years, so I always thought that I had food in my hand so that I didn't panic, so I thought about saving more food." It doesn't hurt to have more food left and right, right? In the unlikely event that the drought passes, it would be nice for us to use the grain to make wine. ”
These two cellars are also used glutinous rice water and lime powder and mud to carefully wipe everywhere two or three times, not afraid of insects, nor afraid of rats and the like will come in, put the grain here, Lin Yuxiu is very relieved. (To be continued.) )
