Chapter 140: The Field
In the early morning of the second day, Shen Jinan got up from the bed lightly, for fear of disturbing the good dreams of the two dumplings.
She turned and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but heard movement in the yard.
hurriedly ran out to check and found that it was the red lady who came back.
"Sister!"
She hurriedly rubbed the water droplets on her hand on the apron and looked at the red lady happily.
"Sister, you're at home, it's great, I've been so busy these days that my feet don't touch the ground, and I haven't come to see you."
The red lady felt a little guilty, and walked over quickly to take Shen Jin'an into her arms.
"It's not in the way, how is my sister doing in the restaurant these days?"
Shen Jinan comforted her with a smile and asked about the current situation of the restaurant.
Speaking of this, the red lady's face changed a little, and finally sighed.
"The flood flooded all the fields in Puzhou, the granaries were also affected, and the price of rice rose to sky-high prices.
With a bitter face, she sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.
Shen Jin'an heard about the Red Lady opening a porridge shop, but he didn't expect that the situation would be so difficult now, even the Red Lady, who had never worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt, now began to sigh for the sake of rice.
"Sister, don't worry, there is always a way."
Shen Jin'an thought of the system, his heart moved, and he comforted the red lady.
The red lady felt that Shen Jinan probably didn't want her to be too sad to say this, so she reluctantly responded with a smile.
After appeasing the red lady, Shen Jin'an returned to the kitchen and summoned the system while making breakfast.
"System, now that rice is in short supply, what can you do?"
The system heard the call and immediately responded, "Host, you can use the most advanced rice technology, although it can't be effective immediately, but it can ensure future yields." ”
Hearing this, Shen Jinxin was moved, rice is the most rice-producing crop in modern times.
But in ancient times, no one had the seeds and technology yet.
She was afraid that as soon as this rice appeared, before the famine could be alleviated, she would be beheaded as a demon girl first.
Perhaps sensing Shen Jin'an's concern, the system kindly reminded him.
"If the host can't wait that long, you can exchange it for rice and experiment it in the land of the space, and then use experience points to ripen it."
Shen Jinan sighed, although he couldn't immediately let everyone accept the rice planting technology, but now there is a good way to get food, and he can also try to alleviate the urgent need.
"Okay, let's exchange it then."
With her consent, the system's voice became cheerful.
"Congratulations to the host for spending 2000 experience points to exchange for rice technology, the gift is a number of rice seeds, and now you can plant them to mature, as long as 100 experience points~"
The cold electronic voice was a little underwhelming, and Shen Jin'an's heart was dripping blood when he heard the reminder of deducting experience points.
"Okay, okay, look at the buckle."
Shen Jinan gritted her teeth, for the sake of the people, she endured it!
After a stick of incense, Shen Jinan walked out of the kitchen with a hot breakfast.
The red lady sat at the table and watched as she placed a few bowls of hot noodles on the table.
"Sister, don't be worried, eat breakfast first, my sister already has a way to do the food, tomorrow you just have to call someone to come to my house to move rice."
She smiled and pushed a bowl of noodles in front of the red lady.
"Where did my sister get the rice? Don't you cling to your own food and clothing? Now that the two children are growing up, don't be too frugal for this matter. ”
The red lady's chopsticks were inserted into the noodles, she couldn't wait to take a big bite, and said to Shen Jin'an again.
"My sister just don't worry about taking rice, my sister knows it."
Shen Jin'an didn't wait for her to ask more, turned around and went to the room to ask Sui Sui Huanhuan to get up for breakfast.
The red lady half-convinced and finished breakfast before leaving to go back and continue to deal with a mess of things.
On the Mingjiang wharf, the swarthy men carried sandbags and sweated like rain.
Although it is already spring, the temperature is still cold, and if you sweat and blow such a cold wind, and then walk into the muddy and cold river, the iron beaten person will also fall ill.
Sure enough, most of the people began to have a fever in the afternoon, and Commander Qiu couldn't bear the pressure of everyone, so he had to invite a doctor to come and see.
The rest of those who have not yet fallen ill continue to repair the dam, and after the devastation of last night, the dam has shown signs of slackening.
Gu Yanqing had Shen Jin'an's pills by his side, so naturally he didn't fall ill, and he also distributed some to the seriously ill.
After distributing the medicine, Gu Yanqing looked at everything on the dock, his eyes were full of human suffering, his eyes were deep, and he strode towards Commander Qiu.
Xiong Wei on the side hurriedly stopped him.
"Gu Langjun is going to talk to Commander Qiu?"
Gu Yanqing nodded, and prepared to leave again.
"But Commander Qiu is extremely cruel, and now at a glance, I know that he is in a bad mood now, didn't Gu Lang hit the muzzle of the gun?"
Therefore, yesterday Gu Yanqing saved his life, and his mother-in-law Li Chunhua accepted Shen Jin'an's kindness again, so he kindly reminded him that he didn't want his benefactor to be damaged.
"Thank you Brother Xiong for the reminder, but I can't sit idly by."
Gu Yan thanked him lightly, with a determined look in his eyes, he brushed away Xiong Wei's hand and resolutely walked towards Commander Qiu.
Commander Qiu saw that the people under his command were so sick that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he saw that Gu Yanqing was not working and went to him, he was even more angry.
"Which family are you? How dare you not work? Want to be lazy, don't you? ”
Commander Qiu waved his whip angrily, and many people heard the movement and sneaked a few glances at them.
"Qiu Tong should not be angry, it is better to listen to the views of the contemptible people on water control, it is useless to block the dam now, and it may even cause a second flood, if you can open a canal downstream to divert water, it is a long-term method."
Gu Yanqing arched his hand, looked at Commander Qiu's eyes and said without humility or arrogance.
He is eloquent, determined, and imposing.
Commander Qiu was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
"You, a commoner, dare to point fingers at me? Blocking the dam is an idea from above, what identity and what courage do you have? ”
After speaking, the whip in his hand waved unceremoniously towards Gu Yanqing.
Gu Yanqing saw the whip calling at him, but he didn't dodge, still maintaining the knowledge just now.
Commander Qiu was even more angry when he saw him like this, and he riveted his strength and pulled it at him.
One by one, the bloody whip marks bloomed on Gu Yanqing's body, and the dark red blood blurred on the tattered robe, many people stopped their movements to look at him, but he still stood like a green pine.
Li Yashi was frightened when he saw this scene, but he didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him.
Everyone remembered Gu Yanqing's goodness, and they all stopped their movements and used silent protests to prove their centripetal affection for Gu Yanqing.
Soon Commander Qiu noticed that everyone looked at him as if they were going to eat him, his palms shook, and the whip fell to the ground.
And Gu Yanqing finally couldn't support it, fell to the ground and fainted, and the blood on his body stained the sand on the ground.
