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

Feng Ru nodded: "We must buy more on such a hot day, so that everyone can sleep more comfortably at night. Besides, Granny Cai stays in the kitchen during the day, and it's so hot in here, so we must put a basin of ice in it, otherwise what will happen if she gets a heat stroke?"

Mrs. Cai was flattered: "I... an old slave can also use ice?"

"Why can't I use it?" He looked at Mrs. Cai with a strange look in his eyes: "We are all family members. If I can use it, why can't you? Besides, this is what the master said."

At this moment, Mrs. Cai was extremely moved. Not only was she grateful for Song Shiwei's kindness, she also knelt down and kowtowed towards the main house: "Thank you, Master."

Feng Ru helped her up and said with a smile, "It's enough for Granny Cai to know how kind the master is. I bought a lot of ice this time and it will be delivered over the next few days."

"But...."

Feng Ru tilted her head: "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Cai asked tentatively, "There is no ice cellar at home. Where is Miss Feng Ru going to store all the ice she bought?"

Feng Ru: ...

It's outrageous, too outrageous. I only thought about whether my sister could put Bing into the space she mentioned, and completely forgot about the three people including Mrs. Cai, Jasmine and Uncle Qin.

"Don't panic, the master has his own arrangements for this matter," Feng Ru said and ran towards the main house.

"Sister, sister."

Song Shiwei looked at her with confusion.

Feng Ru ran straight to Song Shiwei, and said awkwardly, "There is one thing I may have done wrong."

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't my sister ask me to buy some ice? Jasmine and I went to two ice shops in East City and ordered a total of 4,000 kilograms of ice, but...but we don't have an ice cellar at home."

"I'll just put it in the space," Song Shiwei hesitated, and when he met Feng Ru's cautious eyes, he suddenly thought of something: "Mrs. Cai and the others."

Feng Ru nodded repeatedly: "I just forgot about Uncle Qin and Granny Cai. They don't know my sister's ability, and they haven't taken the loyalty pill. They didn't know where to put the ice when it was delivered at night."

Song Shiwei was also speechless. Not only did Feng Ru forget, but he himself didn't remember either. The truth was that one of the three was in the stable in the outer courtyard, and Cai Pozi and her daughter were in the kitchen and chopping firewood in the backyard. They would not show up in front of him if they could. They had no sense of existence in Song Shiwei's eyes.

Song Shiwei tapped the coffee table lightly, thought for a moment and said, "Go tell Mrs. Cai later that there is no need to cook tonight. Let them eat out at night. If they ask about the ice, just say that it is somewhere else and they can get it from me when they need it every day."

"But wouldn't this be very troublesome? Sister, why don't we let them take loyalty pills? This way, we don't have to carry them on our backs, and it will be more convenient for everyone."

Song Shiwei shook his head: "It will only be troublesome for a few days. If I rashly let them take the loyalty pill now, I am worried that people will be uneasy. Let this matter take its course."

Feng Ru had no choice but to respond: "I'll go talk to Granny Cai later. Anyway, the ice cream will not be delivered until the evening hour, and the weather won't be that hot then."

"Well, let's go."

Afterwards, Feng Ru went back to the kitchen and told Mrs. Cai that she would not be cooking in the evening. Facing her questions, Feng Ru tried her best to look normal.

"The master said that everyone has been working hard during this period of time. Since we are not at home for dinner these days, let everyone relax. You can go to a restaurant outside for dinner. The master will pay for the money. You don't have to rush back after dinner. You can walk around the street for a while."

Mrs. Cai's eyes widened. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen. Thinking that she had never been out for a walk since she was bought here, and there were many things she needed to buy, she immediately agreed with a smile.

"That ice..."

Seeing that she still remembered about the ice, Feng Ru continued, "Don't worry about the ice. The master has more than one house. There is an ice cellar in the other house. The ice will be placed somewhere else. I can just go and get it back every day."

Mrs. Cai was relieved at this moment. Thinking that Bing was not light, she hurriedly said, "Call Jasmine for this kind of physical work. She is very strong."

Feng Ru waved his hand: "No, you don't have to worry about this matter, you can leave at 3 p.m."

"Okay, okay. Miss Feng Ru, please thank the master for us."

"I will."

After talking to Mrs. Cai, Feng Ru went to the main room to report to Song Shiwei, then returned to his room, rubbed his forehead, and thought to himself that he was really stupid.

At the end of the Shen period, Mrs. Cai and the other two were urged by Feng Ru to go out for dinner. Feng Ru also specifically told them about a restaurant that was far away from Camellia Lane. After watching the three of them leave, Feng Ru squatted at the door waiting for the ice shop owner to deliver the ice.

Half an hour later, mule carts carrying ice came over, with thick quilts padding around the ice to prevent it from melting too quickly.

Feng Ru hurried forward to welcome them to the door, and then asked them to move the ice into the back room and put it away first.

The servant who came to deliver ice from the ice shop didn't ask any questions. He called out to the people who followed him and started moving the ice. After a stick of incense, all the thousand kilograms of ice were moved into the back room.

After they left, Feng Ru was about to go to the main house to call for help. She turned around and saw Song Shiwei standing behind her. Feng Ru smiled and said, "Sister, the ice has been put in. We delivered a thousand kilograms today. We will finish delivering in three days."

Song Shiwei nodded slightly, then walked into the room and put a thousand kilograms of ice into the space.

After the ice was collected, the whole room was still extremely cool and Feng Ru still felt a little cold standing inside.

Mrs. Cai and the other two returned at the end of the garrison hour, carrying large and small bags of things in their hands.

After Feng Ru opened the door for the three people, he went back to the house to sleep. However, when Mrs. Cai and others entered the house, they saw a basin of ice inside. The temperature in the house was much cooler than outside.

Seeing Jasmine staring with her mouth wide open, Mrs. Cai patted her on the back of her head and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? This ice was given by the master. My girl, we have really met a good master. Such a precious thing as ice is given to us as servants. It shows how kind the master is."

Jasmine grinned foolishly: "Master is such a good person. I have never seen ice before in my previous master's house, let alone used it."

"You were just a maid who cleaned the house before. It was hard for you to even see the master. Not to mention you, even the maids in front of the master only enjoyed themselves by serving the master. I have never heard of the master giving ice to the servants. Not to mention that the masters in the past were not so generous, even those high-ranking officials have never heard of servants using ice."

Jasmine smiled and trotted over to the ice. Feeling the slight coolness, her eyes lit up immediately: "Mom, it's so cool."

Mrs. Cai also walked over to the ice, smiling: "It is indeed very cool. I see that the ice is quite thick, and it will probably last for a long time. Go and pour two glasses of water and put them on top of the ice."

"Yes, why didn't I think of it? I can drink ice water soon," Jasmine said, and then she ran to the table and poured two glasses of boiled water, and then placed the two glasses of water on the ice cubes.
