Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

After Shi Anan finished speaking, she was about to go out to find the village chief to discuss how to arrange the manpower, when she saw Liu and his group standing outside her door.

Shi Anan laughed: "What's wrong with you?"

Fu Xin said angrily: "Miss, those villagers don't believe you, but we do. Just tell us what you want to do, and we will always support you!"

When Shi Anan heard Fu Xin's words, she smiled even more brightly: "Of course you have to believe me. If you don't support me, who else do you want to support?"

"Okay, don't worry, I'm fine. It's normal for them to have doubts. After all, we are outsiders. Although we have the halo of God, the current Guangming Village is not ruled by me alone."

Fu Xin was still a little angry: "But Miss, you have helped them solve the food problem. Without you, they would still be living a life of hunger. And the previous hailstorm, whether they could escape it was a question. Even so, they still don't believe you, what an ungrateful person!"

Shi Anan shook her head helplessly: "Miss, I'm not angry, why are you so angry? Besides, growing crops and setting up protective shields are for our own benefit. They provide us with a place to live, so it's fair for me to protect them as well. Okay, little lucky star, don't be angry, how are you raising my sows!"

Speaking of sows, Fu Xin became excited. She had never seen so many piglets!

"Miss, those sows are doing well. We now have 160 piglets, which means each sow has given birth to 16 piglets on average!" Fu Xin said with a beaming face. When she was in the mansion before, she also heard from the young sisters who were in charge of the breeding that it was a lot for the sows in their mansion to give birth to ten piglets!

Shi Anan was not too surprised to hear this number. Due to nutritional and breed limitations, sows of this era can produce 8-10 piglets. It is not surprising that the high-quality sows rewarded by the system can produce so many piglets. She even felt that it was too few.

"It's just that our pigpen is still a little small. Mu Shan and I are planning to expand the scope of the farm. Oh, and those villagers often send us pig grass. Since they help me feed the pigs, I won't mind it." Fu Xin muttered to herself about pig farming.

"If you want to expand the range, you should find another place that is a little farther away from where you live, otherwise the smell will be very strong." Shi Anan said. She didn't want to smell the stench of pig manure as soon as she opened her eyes.

Fu Xin nodded and said, "Of course. We have already asked the village chief to allocate a new piece of land to us. It is far from where we live, and there is no one else around."

After talking with Fu Xin about the pig farm, seeing that they were doing quite well, Shi Anan did not interfere too much and hurried out to see the village chief again.

Liu and Ruan looked at her back and smiled helplessly. They still wanted to talk to her about the soap.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, An An was frightened as soon as he entered the door because of the crowds of people there.

Seeing Shi Anan coming, the crowd automatically dispersed to make way for her to pass. Shi Anan walked up to the village chief and asked in surprise, "Did all these people sign up to help me open up the wasteland?"

The village chief's mood at this time was completely different from before.

After hearing what An An said, he felt that he might have been living in comfort for too long and no longer had the awareness of being prepared for danger.

"Miss Shi, they are here to thank you and to help you open up the wasteland. People in our village are not well educated and do not have so many far-sighted ideas. If you hadn't enlightened us, we would not have known that disaster was imminent."

The village chief smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued: "So, after we all discussed it, we all decided to listen to you. We will plant whatever you say!"

Shi Anan looked at the village chief in surprise. She didn't expect his thinking to improve so quickly. However, "I am also wrong in this matter. I took it for granted. This cold wave is just a disaster I speculated. I don't know if it will happen or when it will happen."

"I just think that Lingnan has been hot and humid in previous years, and everyone has lived here for a long time and is used to it, so I'm afraid they don't have much experience in keeping warm, so I thought of growing cotton. But you're also worried about food, so I decided to follow what I said today, and grow both cotton and food!"

The village chief looked up at Shi Anan in surprise and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid our fields won't be enough."

Guangming Village is surrounded by mountains, and there is not much flat land. Although there is a large flat land after turning a hill at the back, there are many wild animals and beasts there, just like the original plains. Except for hunters hunting, basically no one will go there, and naturally no one will go there to open up wasteland and farm.

But if they only rely on the fields in their village and grow both grain and cotton, the yield of either will be low. This is why they reacted so strongly when they heard that cotton was planted in the fields.

"If there are not enough fields, we can open up more wasteland. I've observed the terrain of Guangming Village and we can make terraced fields for planting." It's not that Shi Anan didn't want to plant in the flat area at the back, but her current protective shield has not covered that place yet, so who knows what's inside.

To be on the safe side, she would rather farm in the mountains.

"What are terraced fields?" The village chief asked a soul-searching question on behalf of himself and the confused villagers.

"Terraces are terraces that we have opened up on the slopes of mountains for growing crops, especially rice and wheat. Lingnan is mountainous and rainy, so building terraces can not only improve land utilization, but also prevent soil erosion by changing the slope of the terrain, thereby conserving water, soil and fertilizer."

After Shi Anan finished speaking, she found that the village chief and the villagers were still confused, and she felt helpless: "In short, the terraced fields are very useful to us. If you trust me, just listen to my instructions and reclaim the land. In this way, we will have enough land for planting."

Fortunately, although the people in Guangming Village did not understand what terraced fields were, they were still quite convinced of Shi Anan. After all, it was she who solved the famine problem for them.

"Miss Shi, I'll go with you! My family only has that much land, and we can't harvest much food all year round. If it weren't for the high-yield sweet potato seeds you brought, we would have starved to death. It's just reclaiming wasteland, and I have a lot of energy sitting around doing nothing. If the reclaiming is successful, we will be the ones who benefit!" A sturdy man stood up from the crowd and said.

They were uneducated, but they knew what was good for them. With a person like Miss Shi, she could live well even if she didn't open up the wasteland. They all knew who she was working so hard for.

"Yes! Yes! I will do the same with you. You can order us around as you wish."

"Me too! Me too!"

Shi Anan was touched to see the active response from the crowd. She started out because the system had chosen this place as the construction area, and she did these things with the mindset of completing a task.

Providing sweet potato seeds to solve the famine was a task issued by the system that required her to do so, so she became the god who brought hope to Guangming Village. Because of this, she thought too highly of herself and always made decisions based on her own ideas, never considering the feelings of the local villagers.

Although she felt that the villagers were too conservative and lacked the vision to prepare for danger in times of peace, which made her a little angry, she was also angry because of her dissatisfaction with being questioned.

She still seemed to regard herself as an outsider who just wanted to complete the task and use all means to complete the task, but she ignored the fact that they were also living people who needed to communicate.

After reflecting on her own behavior, Shi Anan decided to change herself from now on. She wanted to treat Guangming Village as her home and work hard with every villager to build her own home.

"Okay, I have received everyone's support. I will lead everyone to open up new land in the next two days, and the rewards I mentioned will also be given to everyone who comes to open up new land."

When the village chief heard Shi Anan talking about the reward, he retorted: "You have brought us to open up the wasteland, and we are the ones who benefited. How can we ask you to pay us? No, no, if you say that, we will not go."

Shi Anan smiled and said, "After all, it was me who asked to open up the wasteland. We can't have nothing at all. That way, no one will be motivated to work. How about this? I won't give you any other compensation. I plan to build a canteen in the village, and I will provide meals for all the people who come to open up the wasteland."

Yes, Shi Anan finally remembered that she still had a research and development room for the God of Cooking that had not been set up yet. This research and development room had been acquired before the earthquake, but it required being activated in a specific building in the construction zone.

She has now activated the construction area. Although she doesn't know what the specific building is, it is definitely related to the kitchen. Since she plans to build a canteen, she is also going to wait until the canteen is built to see if she can bind it.

She was really coveting ingredients that could increase her physical strength and energy, which were essential for pioneering new land!
