Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Seeing that Song Shiwei didn't say anything, Zhang Wu continued, "I also learned about the situation in the capital from Brother Li. The capital has not been peaceful recently. It is said that the emperor intends to take action against the powerful Lord Cao and remove many of his minions."

"Cao Chong?"

Zhang Wu nodded, "It was him. Brother Li didn't specify what happened, but he said that someone caught Lord Cao amassing wealth and reported it directly to His Majesty. With all the evidence, Lord Cao has no way to defend himself."

This is good and exciting news. The bastard was finally punished. Although he was not really hurt, the pain in his muscles and bones still penetrated deep into his bones.

Song Shiwei was in a very good mood after hearing this: "No matter how chaotic the capital is, it will not affect the northern border. We should just wait and see what happens. By the way, you should send these medicine bags to the Huang family this afternoon. They are prepared according to the prescription I gave to Doctor Xu before. Let them divide them among themselves. If something happens, they can just cook it and drink it themselves."

Song Shiwei took out fifty medicine packets from the space, all of which contained medicinal materials prepared according to the prescription, mainly for treating plague.

Zhang Wu took the medicine bag solemnly: "Then I will thank the master on their behalf."

Song Shiwei waved his hand lightly: "I am just in case. I hope the city will not be infected with the plague."

If it still came in, it was fate. Song Shiwei didn't have the transcendent idea of ​​saving the world. Even if he had the ability, so what? It was none of my business!

However, you still need to protect your own people, after all, they are useful.

After Zhang Wu took Huang Ying out, Song Shiwei returned to the room, locked the door, went into the space, and started picking vegetables.

Only two acres of land were opened up in the space, one acre was used to grow various medicinal herbs, and one acre was used to grow fruits and vegetables; the fresh fruits were just common ones like apples and oranges, which Song Shiwei did not pick often. Instead, vegetables were planted one after another, and it was not convenient to take out the fresh ones to eat, so each time they were dried before being taken out.

There was an empty room in the backyard. Song Shiwei thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea to go on like this, so he took some cabbage seeds, left the space and called Feng Ru. The two of them put on straw raincoats and held umbrellas and went out.

It took them an incense stick of time to reach the river. Without Song Shiwei saying anything, Feng Ru rushed to the river with a small shovel and a basket, squatted down and started digging the soil.

Song Shiwei also took out a cloth bag, scooped a pile and put it into the bag.

It took only a cup of tea to dig three full bags of soil. Feng Ru stood up and looked around. She stood next to Song Shiwei and whispered, "Sister Song, there is no one around. Please collect them quickly. We should go back soon."

Song Shiwei smiled slightly, said okay, waved his hand to put the bag into the space, and then the two of them went home one after the other.

After arriving home, he began to clear out the room, took out the wooden frame that Zhang Wu had made earlier, poured soil into it, and sprinkled cabbage seeds on it after it was full. The house was inevitably damp as no one lived in it, so Feng Ru brought a pot of firewood and burned it in a corner, and opened the window halfway for ventilation.

"Sister Song, is this all right? Do you want to do anything else?"

Song Shiwei shook his head: "Let's try it first. If it works, we can eat fresh vegetables in no time."

Feng Ru smiled brightly: "I will definitely come here every day to water and watch over the plants, and I will make sure that my sister has enough vegetables to eat."

Song Shi smiled slightly, looked around the room again, then turned and walked out.

Zhangwu Huangying brought the package of medicinal herbs prepared by Song Shiwei to the Huang family. After handing the herbs to Huang Changyuan, she repeated what Song Shiwei had said.

Fifty portions of medicinal materials are enough for everyone, and the prescription that Song Shiwei prepared is very particular about the use of medicine. One portion of medicinal materials can be used three times, so one portion is enough if there is really an epidemic.

Before leaving, Huang Ying left a large bag of face masks she had made at home, and reminded her family to wear them when they went out in the future, as a layer of protection.

Huang Changyuan and the Huang Hai brothers sent Zhang Wu and his wife to the gate of the house. Huang Changyuan looked at them kindly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't go out and wander around. You should also be more careful."

Watching Zhang Wu driving, Huang Changyuan raised his hand and said, "Wait a moment, your mother has gone in to get something and will be out soon."

"Dad, what is Mom getting?"

As soon as Zhang Wu finished speaking, Luo Hongmei came out with her two daughters-in-law, and the three of them came out holding a bag that was bulging with things.

"Nothing. There's someone in the city who's selling beans and corn flour privately. Someone came to our house to ask before dawn today. Your father thought the food was OK, just soaked in water, so it's definitely edible, so he simply bought a few hundred kilograms. It just so happens that you're here today, so you can take some back. If Xiao Song doesn't have enough food, come home and tell us."

After Luo Hongmei finished speaking, she asked the two Huang Hai brothers to load the grain onto the carriage. There were three large bags of coarse grains, one bag was filled with corn flour, and the other two bags were soybeans.

Zhang Wu waved his hands quickly: "Mom, there is still plenty of food at home. You can keep it and eat it slowly. There are so many mouths waiting at home. Don't give it to us."

Luo Hongmei glared at him and said unhappily, "Just take it if I give it to you. We have enough food at home. We bought several hundred kilograms from Xiao Song before, and another several hundred kilograms this morning. With so much food at home, are you still worried that we won't have anything to eat? Hurry and take it."

Huang Changyuan also chimed in: "Your mother told you to take it, so just take it. It's just a little food. Compared to what Xiao Song helped us with, this little food is nothing. Be obedient."

The wives of Huang Hai and Huang Ping also tried to persuade Zhang Wu, and Zhang Wu had no choice but to accept it.

Just after the grain was loaded into the car, Luo Hongmei brought in a basket of eggs, also saying that she had exchanged them with someone else.

The Huang family still had money. Zhang Wu had brought in fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Huang Ying had said at first that she would not take the money away. In the end, the old couple secretly gave her ten taels of silver as a dowry. She had saved a lot of money after fleeing to the northern border.

The silver notes sent by the Xie family were shared with the villagers, and later Xu Shihe and his apprentice also sent silver notes, which were split equally. After settling down in Xiahuang Village, Huang Ping often went into the mountains to cut trees and sell them in the city. Half of the wild animals hunted by Huang Hai were kept for his family and given to Zhang Wu, and the other half were sold at restaurants in the city. As a result, the Huang family saved a lot of money.

After Zhang Wu helped Huang Ying get into the car, Luo Hongmei took a bundle from her daughter-in-law and handed it to Zhang Wu, saying with a smile: "I bought some good material on the street a few days ago, and I made clothes for Xiao Song. You can take it back. As for the ones your mother didn't make, just let Yingying make them for you."

Zhang Wu grinned, smiling naively: "Yingying has made a lot of clothes for me, mother, please stop making them, it will tire your eyes. Father, mother, elder brother, second brother, and sister-in-law, we will go back first. Be careful when you go out these days, don't open the door to strangers, and let elder brother and second brother come to me if there is anything."

"Okay, okay, we know what's going on. You guys should be careful too and take care of yourselves. We're all fine. Don't worry. Yingying, be fine with Xiao Zhang."

Huang Ying smiled and nodded: "Got it, Dad and Mom, let's go."
