The earth is rejuvenated.

Ning Qingxi worked hard for three days, and finally saved up about a liter of alcohol.

On the first day, they still had the leisure to sit down and roast taro, but they didn't want to move at all when they were tired in the next few days, and the roasted taro plan went bankrupt.

The alcohol that Ning Changrong bought back was too low, and there were more than a dozen jars he bought, thinking that it was already a lot, but in fact it was not enough at all, Ning Changrong also set up an ox cart, ran back to the city again, and spent all the five taels of silver on his body, which was barely enough.

Fortunately, he went to the county again, otherwise they might not know when something happened.

After finishing up, all the equipment of the cattle pen was dismantled, Ning Changrong wanted to melt it back into the copper coin, but Ning Qingxi felt that if he could put it, he would put it first, maybe it would be useful in the future, if he wanted to use it, he would have to find a blacksmith to fight, and he would have to spend more money for no reason, and the family was not so short of money now, Ning Changrong was right when he thought about it, and he didn't know how long this alcohol could be used, mainly because something happened, maybe it wouldn't be enough once. I just left it to find a place to put it.

After looking for a long time, I finally put it in the cellar, mainly because this place is hidden enough and safer, and several layers of straw are laid on it to prevent ash.

After finishing the equipment, I went to move the things in the cattle pen back, and the black spot that had been cold outside for three days finally returned to my home.

……

Wang Xiujuan locked the alcohol in a box with another bottle of allicin, and Ning Qingxi was so tired that she collapsed on the kang at this time.

She's been busy collecting alcohol for the past few days, and she's not doing anything. I thought it was very simple, just keep the fire over there.

It's easy to think about, but it's difficult to do, and after steaming for a while, I found that a few drops of wine fell from the port of the bottle where the alcohol was collected, and it all ran into the air and volatilized, so a lot of wine was wasted.

I finally finished distilling, and then I found that the alcohol concentration was not enough at all!

The three of them were sometimes in a hurry, the bullpen was small, and they could touch their heads when they walked, of course, Ning Qingxi's height could only hit her milk and her father's waist.

"It's finally done, it's too tiring."

"Milk, have you noticed that the black dot sneaks up to lick the distilled water we poured out? Do you think it wants to drink? ”

The alcohol was all evaporated, and all that was left was water, which smelled a little alcoholic, but in fact there was no alcohol at all.

Wang Xiujuan was too tired to sit on the kang after locking the box.

"This cow is really strange to buy, and there are people who love to drink."

"There are no wonders in the world, we have even experienced crossing, and I still have a golden finger in my head. What's so strange about cows drinking? But it won't have any effect on its body, will it? ”

"How do I know that? It shouldn't be a problem, and there's no alcohol in the water anyway. ”

Ning Qingxi is still very honest, and when he runs out of the black dotted bullpen, he will be given the reward he should give. "I don't know if there is anyone selling tofu in the village, so I promised to give it tofu residue when the black spot runs out of its cattle pen."

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi were temporarily idle, and Ning Changrong began to work again.

In the past two days of collecting alcohol, Ning Changrong has not only helped at the beginning, but also ran to the county with an ox cart several times and bought a lot of food to go home.

At the moment, the cellar is being expanded, and there is no place to put the food bought, and Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San are also helping on the side.

Originally, there was enough food at home, but when he went to buy wine for the second time, he also met Steward Feng in the county governor's mansion, probably for the sake of face last time, and people revealed a news to him that Jinju was causing a locust plague!

It was also because he was the county lieutenant's housekeeper that he learned the news now, and the others were still in the dark.

When Ning Changrong met the other party, they were buying food, and several large carts were moving into the car.

After Ning Changrong heard this, he suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the sky.

In ancient times, the Kanyu map was a military secret, but there were still maps of a country in the world, and Ning Changrong had already spent a sum of money to buy it and put it at home, so he naturally knew where Jinzhou was.

Taixi County is located in Qinzhou Mansion, and Jinzhou is still a little far away, there are three provinces in between, Jinzhou is in the south of Qinzhou Mansion, the weather is warmer, there is a locust plague in that place, if they are lucky, they will not be affected.

But just in case, Ning Changrong can't gamble on luck, the lives of the family can't afford to gamble, he has to hurry up and stock up on a wave of food before the others can react!

Who knows what those locusts think? He didn't dare to leave anything to chance.

In the past two days, Ning Changrong bought a lot of grain, and when he saw that the price of grain in this county began to rise, he stopped, and spent ten taels of silver, and now there was only one hundred and thirty-five taels left at home, which was why he thought about melting the copper pipe.

The Ning family also bought some food and put it away under his suggestion, of course he didn't directly tell them that there was a locust plague in Jinzhou, otherwise these people went out and talked nonsense, if the news came, forget it, before the news came, they would spread the news everywhere here, and the court detained him with a hat of bewitching and confusing the public was enough for him to eat.

Although the Ning family didn't know why the eldest brother asked them to buy more food to save up, since the eldest brother said so, he must have a reason, and the eldest brother's family also bought a lot of food, they are all a family, and it will definitely not harm them.

Although I was distressed to spend money to buy a chilblain cream prescription, and now I have to use a large sum of money to go out, even Fang Chunmei, a person who is very good at living, did not save this money.

In the past six months, they have seen that the eldest brother is capable, and it is always right to follow him.

After resting in the room for a while, I heard a sonorous sound outside.

Ning Qingxi put her hands on her head, feeling a little irritable, although the two places were far apart, she was still very worried in her heart, "Milk, do you think that locusts will run to our place?" ”

Wang Xiujuan was also worried, "How do I know this?" I won't pinch your fingers. ”

Their family has saved enough food, but the people in the village don't know that if it really affects their place at that time, and people don't have it, but their family has food, their family will become the target of everyone, don't test human nature.

If it is more serious, there will be displaced people who will flee to their place, and when the time comes, they will have to face the displaced people and deal with the villagers, which is really a back-to-back enemy.

Ning Changrong dug his back ached and came in and took a sip of water.

Wang Xiujuan took the opportunity to tell him about her concerns.

Ning Changrong already had an idea in his heart, "Mother, don't worry." Later, I will go to the village chief's house and tell him about it, but I don't know what to say, so I will ask him to raise the villagers and let them stock up on some food for themselves. Believe it or not, it's none of my business. ”

"Besides, we are still some distance from Jinju, and it will not necessarily affect us. I'm stockpiling food just in case, so don't worry too much. "When the time comes, there will really be those eyes, and their weapons will not be ornaments.

In fact, there has been a rumor in the county, that big family suddenly bought a large amount of food, as long as you are not stupid, you can detect strange places, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, even if you don't know the situation, but don't you panic when you don't hoard food when you watch others hoard grain? The people of Taixi County also began to stock up on grain.

It's just that the people in these villages live far away, and the news is not clear.
