Chapter 198 Consideration
Xingyun was really worried.
Although the prince likes to cook, he is really a bit picky about food!
This is not the braised pork made by Su Cainv herself!
The prince hates eating fat meat the most!
Just like the prince, although he looks approachable, in fact...
Ha ha……
If he had been a little slower, the girl would have been sent flying five meters away.
Back then in the Divine Capital, the granddaughter of General Xie wanted to hold the prince's hand.
The prince kicked him so hard that three of his teeth fell out.
It’s really miserable when you think about it…
I really did a good deed every day and saved another ignorant girl...
Xingyun felt good about himself and picked up a piece of lotus root for Nangong Muchen.
I heard that this was invented by Miss Su, and the prince should like it.
"Sir, try this. It's Ms. Su's idea."
As expected, Nangong Muchen raised his eyebrows.
He picked up the chopsticks and tasted it carefully.
Su Xiaoyuan was so angry that her teeth were itching!
This damn guard! Do you have any sense?
Su Jiuyue and Lin Qingqing looked at each other.
There was a smile in each other's eyes.
Lin Qingqing: Yueyue! Melon! Fragrant!
Su Jiuyue: Eat!
Unlike the undercurrent of food at this table, people at other tables were eating voraciously.
Although everyone has tried their best to restrain themselves.
The dishes were added one after another.
Only Su Laoer’s house is spacious!
If it were any other family, the owner would have been disgraced long ago!
If you eat like this, even the landlord will go bankrupt!
Many people hold on to the door frame when they leave!
Too much...
Even so, Li and Zhou were still busy packing for people.
"Uncle, take this pork belly. You can heat it up and have two more meals at home."
"Don't be polite. There are so many of them that they can't be left alone. If you don't take them and he doesn't take them, it would be a waste if they go bad."
"Uncle San! We don't need you to give us money! It's embarrassing for us. It's not a valuable thing."
……
After leaving the Su family, everyone walked in groups of three or four.
Those who go to the fields go to the fields, and those who catch shrimps catch shrimps.
"The Su family is so generous. I haven't eaten so much meat all year!"
"I have to take a break from work now. I am starving to death from eating..."
"I'm going to... um, I'll leave first. I feel like vomiting after eating too much..."
……
"Hey, don't tell me, I heard Yueyue go to the ditch behind my house to catch crayfish, and there are indeed a lot of them!"
"I caught more than twenty kilograms yesterday at the pond dam!"
"Really? Then let's go! Let's go together..."
……
Most of the guests in the courtyard have left.
Only some people who were familiar with Su Jiuyue had not left.
The head of the village and the old patriarch of the Su family personally presented Su Jiuyue with a plaque and gave her five taels of silver.
"Yue'er, you are the pride of our village! This is a reward from the village and the clan!"
"I know you guys are rich now, so you don't think highly of this, but it's a token of my appreciation, so I can't refuse it."
The two old men smiled kindly.
The clan elder rubbed the plaque engraved with "The Light of Apricot Blossoms" on his body.
"Hey, what a damn bad weather! I'm sweating all over it..."
Su Jiuyue finally couldn't help but speak out her worries.
"This weather is not normal."
His brows were knitted together.
Nangong Muchen answered.
"I have already reported it and arranged for drought relief in Yishan County. We really need to make some preparations."
Su Jiuyue looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
I used to think that those princes and noble sons were mostly playboys.
This Nangong Muchen is a man of action and knows how to prepare in advance.
He is really considering the people.
Doctor Li was also somewhat worried.
"It has not rained for more than two months. I am afraid that many places have suffered disasters. I am afraid that this year will be another famine..."
The heat is not the worst thing.
The main problem is that once drought occurs, grain production will decrease or even disappear completely.
Farmers originally relied on harvesting grain to exchange for supplies for the winter.
Once food is destroyed, it is fatal!
Lin Qingqing clasped her hands together.
"Please let it rain soon, please let it rain soon. There must not be any disaster, there must not be any..."
What she feared most was hearing about a disaster somewhere!
The head of the village looked at the scorching sun in the sky and felt a little worried.
"Many fields are dry, and we have to rely on fetching water every day to survive. The water in the mountains is getting less and less, and I am worried..."
After all, the patriarch has lived to such an old age and has experienced countless disasters, big and small.
He comforted everyone.
"Don't be so nervous. The village head and I have organized everyone to build five reservoirs! They are almost full!"
"Even if there is a drought, it can last for a long time! Besides, we have groundwater here and we haven't run out of water for so many years!"
"This skill of repairing the reservoir was passed down by our ancestors. It's reliable! Don't worry!"
Seeing that the two heads of the family were so concerned, Su Jiuyue felt a lot more relieved.
Not to mention ancient times.
In modern times, we are often powerless in the face of natural disasters.
It was even more fatal in ancient times.
Fortunately, Xinghua Village has good resources, including water and lakes.
I'm not really worried about the weather.
At this time, Nangong Muchen bowed to the two old men.
It's a great courtesy!
"Second Elder, I have an unwelcome request."
The two old men were nearly frightened out of their wits by his move!
He is the prince!
Why do we have to salute these ordinary people?
"No, no, no! Please speak, my lord!"
Nangong Muchen said in a calm voice.
"The weather is weird now, so it's better to take precautions in advance. Since you have this skill, can you take me to see the reservoir?"
"If it is feasible, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to help me build this reservoir somewhere else."
"Of course, I will also reward you. In the face of natural disasters, please don't be stingy."
When the two elders heard about this, their souls that had flown away came back.
"The prince is very righteous."
"If you hadn't told us, we would have gone to discuss this with other villages, but we were afraid that our words would not be taken seriously and that others would not believe us. Now that the prince is taking the lead, it's great."
Doctor Li and his wife and Guan Ruoyu also expressed their desire to go together.
It's a good time to have a meal, so it's nice to take a walk in the mountains.
Lin Qingqing, who was always a scumbag, was particularly serious this time.
"I also need to go."
She has to go!
If this reservoir is really that good, she must bring a blueprint to her father!
This way I can relieve him of some of his worries!
Mrs. Li was worried about the two children, especially the pregnant woman!
Naturally, I followed.
The group set off now and headed towards the reservoir.
I don’t know what method this Xinghua Village used!
The reservoir they built is almost as big as a room!
As the mountain spring flowed in, the water level rose little by little.
The village head said proudly.
"Even if the spring dries up, this water will last for a while, and there are still five of them!"
Doctor Li exclaimed it was magical!
"Good! This pool doesn't take up much water! I think the water seepage is much better than other pools!"
It seems that this is the ancestral craft that the village head is talking about!
"Mix some sand and gravel into the mud to make a base, and use sand and gravel to fix a circle around the reservoir. Once the reservoir is full of water, the water seepage will be much better."
"Although the water may be a little dirty, it can at least save lives."
The explanation given by the head of the village and the old clan leader made everyone's eyes light up.
They then looked at the other four pools.
The farthest one is in a fir forest on the mountain.
Su Jiuyue seemed to be thinking about something.
If this method can be improved, it would be to reinforce the earth pit with cement first.
There was no cement in that era, so it was impossible to make it 100% waterproof.
If she could make cement in this era, she could make up for this shortcoming!
There is plenty of time in this space, so she must first figure out how to make cement!
While there is still time, it is best to build reservoirs around the area!
Just as everyone was preparing to go back, Su Jiuyue saw something under the tree, which seemed to be covered under the leaves.
