Liu Daxi turned back as he walked away and said, "Big sister, is it really okay for us not to help? Those fifty water tanks are really heavy."

Liu Qiang also echoed with a worried look on his face: "Yes, we are country people who are used to doing hard labor. We are definitely more capable than those guards. Why don't we go back and help?"

Hearing this, Ren Dong quickly spoke up to stop them: "No need, Second Uncle, Brother Xi, please stop looking back.

The people the girl hired are not ordinary guards, they are skilled in martial arts, so lifting those things is a piece of cake. Not only that, they can also fly, so they can transport all those supplies away in no time."

"Fly?!" Liu Qiang and Liu Daxi exclaimed in unison.

Honeysuckle was so frightened that she gestured with her hands: "Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Song Mingtao laughed when he heard this and said, "Rosewood, the flying you mentioned refers to Qinggong, right?"

Honeysuckle Chick Pecking Rice nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's Qinggong. But those people have a quirk. They don't like people to see their faces when they are doing things. That's why the girl asked us to stay away. We just obeyed her."

When Su Yue saw that Rendong and the others had turned a corner, she stopped dawdling and directly put the supplies and jade boxes on the four ox carts into the space.

As for the box containing clothes and jewelry, Su Yue confiscated it because she was afraid that the gems on the jewelry would also be absorbed by the space.

Honeysuckle didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so when they came to another alley, she changed the subject.

"Uncle, the girl wants so many water jars this time just to store water. Our family should also buy more jars and store some water. And Uncle Song, the same goes for your family."

Liu Daxi was very confused. He wiped the sweat off his face and asked, "Sister, why do you want to store water? Although the weather is a bit hot, it's not necessary to store water."

Honeysuckle stamped her feet vigorously, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Just stock up if I tell you to, follow our girl, I guarantee that both our families will be right, and don't keep asking why, I'm just a slave, how can I know so many whys."

Liu Daxi responded with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "Oh, I see."

Since the eldest sister of this uncle's family became a maid following the girl, her temper has become worse.

Song Mingtao's eyes flashed, he looked up at the starry night sky, and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

In fact, he was also very confused as to why Su Yue wanted to stockpile so much food and other supplies. He had previously thought that Su Yue wanted to open a large rice shop or for other purposes.

But with Rendong's reminder just now, and Su Yue also asked him to buy some food and keep it at home, he could put his previous guess aside.

He even had a vague feeling that Su Yue was afraid of drought in the future, so she stockpiled supplies in advance. It seemed that he also had to make more preparations.

Liu Qiang thought for a while and said, "Let's stock up. The girl pays both of our families a lot, so buying a few jars is not a big deal. But if we buy so many jars, we won't have anywhere to put them."

"If there's no place to put it, then dig a cellar."

Su Yue's voice suddenly sounded behind them, startling everyone.

"Girl, why are you here? Have you collected all the supplies?" Liu Daxi said, and couldn't help but want to go out of the alley to take a look, but was pulled back by Rendong.

"Brother Xi! I told you that they don't like being seen, why didn't you listen? What if they find out you're peeking at them, they'll just make you sleep here forever, are you afraid?"

Liu Daxi shuddered again when he heard this and stammered, "Yes... yes... I'm sorry... I... I forgot for a moment, I... I will definitely not look around."

Su Yue gave Rendong an approving look. Although she didn't know what Rendong had said to them, it seemed that the effect was good at the moment.

Song Mingtao thought about it and decided to ask, "Miss, did you foresee that there will be a drought in the future, so you stocked up so many supplies?"

Su Yue did not shy away from saying, "Yes, I read in a book before that several droughts in the past few hundred years actually had precursors, such as early summer, less rain, etc.

The heat came early this year, so it's better for us to be prepared. Anyway, food won't go bad if left alone, and water won't go to waste if stored. It may not be drinkable if stored for too long, but it can be used to water vegetables or wash things. "

After hearing Su Yue's words, everyone felt a little uneasy, but they also felt more confident.

Song Mingtao nodded and said, "Miss, you have thought it through. Let's go back and prepare as soon as possible."

Liu Qiang also responded: "Don't worry, young lady, we will do it."

Su Yue smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. By the way, you also need to inform Uncle Liu and ask them to prepare.

Uncle Liu, please buy some more mung beans or herbal tea bags tomorrow, and ask the aunts and others to take turns cooking some for the workers to drink every day to cool down.

Houses can only be built quickly if the workers are not tired. If the workers don't want to work because it's too hot, they can pay more. There will always be brave men under a lot of money.

Also, if it gets hotter, I can switch to resting during the day and working at night. As long as my house is built quickly, the money and other things are negotiable."

After Su Yue finished speaking, she took out ten thousand taels from her bosom and gave it to Liu Qiang, but Liu Qiang waved his hand and refused to accept it.

"Miss, we are honored that you trust our two families. We will also do our best to complete the tasks you have asked us to do. I will not accept this money. I have not spent all the money you gave me last time. How dare I take so much again?"

Su Yue stuffed the money directly into Liu Qiang's hand and said, "Take it. This money is not for your family. It is for you to find a way to make the things I want to buy and my house as soon as possible. Of course, the quality must be guaranteed while being fast."

Seeing Su Yue's firm attitude, Liu Qiang stopped refusing, carefully put away the silver, and said, "Don't worry, young lady, we will definitely live up to your expectations."

Su Yue nodded, and then suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, if you use a water tank to store water for drinking, you must wait until the water is almost gone, then clean the water tank and put some charcoal in it, so that the water quality can be maintained for a longer time."

After hearing this, everyone nodded and kept Su Yue's words in mind.

After explaining all this, Su Yue asked them to go back and prepare. After the ox carts gradually went away, Su Yue put the honeysuckle into the space. Then she jumped on tiptoe holding the mahogany box and flew back to Qingyou Garden.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Nanny Yang still embroidering a lotus pattern on her plain clothes.

When Nanny Yang heard the noise and looked up, she only saw Su Yue but not Ren Dong. She asked in confusion, "Where is Ren Dong? Why isn't she with the girl?"

"She's here. I put her away, nanny. You don't know, every time I fly with Honeysuckle in my arms, I always feel like I can't fly." Su Yue said as she released Honeysuckle from the space.
