Su Yue, who had just come downstairs, saw everyone sitting around the table watching, so she asked everyone to sit down and eat.

"What are you all standing for? Sit down. Let's have a good meal tonight. This is our hot pot dinner. Mammy, Honeysuckle, don't stand either. Sit down and eat."

Hearing Su Yue's words, everyone responded and sat around the table with joy in their hearts.

Su Yue sat at the main seat, raised her chopsticks, and said softly, "Let's eat, don't be restrained, you are not allowed to leave the table until you finish eating."

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, everyone couldn't wait to start tasting the food on the table.

The rice grains in the bowl are plump and exude an enticing aroma. For these villagers who usually eat coarse grains as their staple food, this is undoubtedly a rare luxury.

The braised grass carp has tender meat and rich soup, and every bite is unforgettable. Liu Shan loves this bite the most. A mouthful of fish and a sip of wine makes him feel like a living god.

Liu Shan couldn't help but sigh: "The braised grass carp Cui made is really amazing. Paired with the good wine, it is simply a great pleasure in the world!"

Liu Qiang also took a sip of wine happily, "Well, you can surpass me."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of agreement and laughter.

The remaining braised pork is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, melts in your mouth and makes people praise it.

The scrambled eggs with leeks are bright in color and smooth in taste, adding a touch of freshness to the feast.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms was extremely delicious, with the richness of the chicken and the freshness of the mushrooms blending perfectly. In the blink of an eye, the chicken in the pot was eaten by several boys and there was not much left.

Ye Mei was thankful that she had the foresight to pull out two big chicken legs for Su Yue and Ren Dong respectively, otherwise neither of them would have had a chance to eat some chicken.

Seeing the boys eating so much that their mouths were full of oil, she could only smile awkwardly and said, "They say that the boys can make me poor. It's true."

Seeing Song Da eating a mouthful of braised pork and a mouthful of rice, Li Hui's tone was full of disdain, "That's right, look at the way my son eats. Fortunately, the girl has a huge fortune, otherwise she would have gone broke sooner or later."

After listening to his mother Li Hui's words, Song Da smiled and touched his head, mumbling: "Mom, this meat is so delicious, I can't help it."

His appearance caused laughter from the people around him, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

But Li Hui's mind suddenly changed. She looked at Liu Cui who was constantly picking up food for the little sisters, and then looked at her son who was eating with relish. She had a very happy idea in her mind.

When most of the dishes on the table were gone, everyone's waving of chopsticks gradually slowed down. Su Yue was already full at this time, but she had no intention of leaving early.

Song Mingtao was a perceptive man. Seeing that Su Yue didn't move her chopsticks much, he asked for something to talk about: "Girl, I think we can grow some vegetables in the yard on the right."

Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "It's getting hotter these days, so let's not plant it in the yard. I bought a lot of flower pots before, so I'll plant it in the pots.

Everyone should work harder and move the crops out to the sun every day. When the sun gets brighter, move them back to the room with the ice basin. Although this is more work for everyone, it can ensure that the crops can grow better. "

After hearing this, Song Mingtao immediately nodded in agreement. "Miss, you have thought it through. Using flower pots to grow vegetables is indeed a good idea. It can ensure that the vegetables get enough sunlight and prevent them from being directly roasted by the heat. I will arrange for everyone to start working tomorrow."

Liu Shan also nodded and praised: "Miss, you have thought it through. This way, even in hot weather, we can still have fresh vegetables to eat."

Liu Qiang also agreed: "It's just moving flower pots back and forth a few times a day, it's not that hard. We farmers have all the strength, so there's no need to save it."

Upon hearing this, others also agreed that it was not a problem. Some people even said that there was enough money and it would not be a problem to move it more than ten times a day.

Su Yue smiled slightly and continued, "Also, today I heard from Uncle Liu that some places have no water sources, so tomorrow we have to take out all the water tanks we have stored, clean them and start storing water.

When using water, start from the water tank, and refill it when it is empty, so as to extend the shelf life of the water."

Song Mingtao nodded again: "Well, the reservoir is also going to start filling up with water."

While eating, Zhong Tie listened to the conversation between Su Yue and Song Mingtao, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if Su Yue built this strange tower just to survive the drought.

Zhong Tie couldn't help but look up at Su Yue. This girl was young but gave people a sense of mystery.

The girl in front of him used a fake identity from the very beginning when she contacted him. It was only when he arrived at the village that he found out that the girl's surname was Su instead of Song.

But no matter how he asked, Zhuangzi's servants and others kept their mouths shut and did not reveal where the girl was from.

Zhong Tie felt that Su Yue was definitely not an ordinary person. She might be the daughter of some high-ranking official. Otherwise, how could she come up with so much money to build such a big building and purchase so many supplies every day.

Su Yue naturally noticed that Zhong Tie was looking at her, but she didn't care at all. He just looked at her.

Anyway, as long as Zhong Tie obediently makes bows, crossbows, arrows and various iron tools for her, she is willing to support Zhong Tie's family.

As the night deepened, the people in the tower returned to their rooms to rest one after another, leaving only some people cleaning up. Su Yue returned to her room, and the cool air made her feel particularly comfortable.

Seeing that Su Yue looked sleepy, Nanny Yang and Rendong hurriedly prepared the bath water. After Su Yue took a bath, she fell into a deep sleep soon after lying down.

The next morning, Liu Qiang and Liu Daxi set out early to purchase supplies.

Song Mingtao began to arrange the work for other people. He divided the people into two groups, one group cleaned the vats and prepared the reservoirs for water, and the other group was responsible for planting vegetables in pots.

Su Yue also got up early. She asked Rendong to take her and Nanny Yang to the pond with a spring that Rendong had mentioned before.

She had accidentally discovered before that water spilled in the space would condense into water droplets and would not wet surrounding objects.

So she wanted to try to store the spring water into the space. If possible, she wouldn't have to worry about running out of water during extremely hot periods.

It must be said that the road is really long. After climbing for half an hour, they still haven't reached the destination. Su Yue is already so hot that her whole body is wet.

"Lindong, how long will it take?" asked Nanny Yang breathlessly.

Honeysuckle wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Mammy, young lady, we are almost there. We will be there in just a little further."

Su Yue expressed her disbelief. Rendong had repeated this several times, but she still had to keep going.

The three of them walked with difficulty for a while and finally saw the pool of water where Honeysuckle said there was a spring.

Honeysuckle said happily, "Girl, Mammy, look, it's right in front."
