Shuiqing has always adhered to the principle of having three burrows, and like a hamster, she hoards all sorts of things.

In addition to buying storage boxes from the mall to store valuables, I also have several storage rooms at home.

The inner room of the main house's bedroom contained loose silver coins, fabrics, and ornaments—valuable items.

Above the small room next to the kitchen hung smoked meat, cured meat, sausages, salted fish, and other meats. On the wooden shelves on the wall were dried vegetables such as wood ear fungus, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, and dried fruits and vegetables. On the floor were baskets of eggs and jars of pickled vegetables.

Fresh meat should be eaten within one or two days in hot weather and within three to five days in cold weather, depending on how long it can be stored.

The yard is near the large warehouse at the front, which stores a large quantity of potatoes.

The three rooms near the west side of the main house are divided into three sections. The outermost room is used to store various grains and coarse grains, such as soybeans, red beans, mung beans, black beans, millet, and corn. The other two rooms are used to store rice and wheat flour.

Only Shuiqing and Fan Jin have the keys to these three rooms, and only the two of them can come and go freely. When the kitchen runs out of rice or noodles, one of them goes to get them.

Whenever Fan Jin returned with grain, two people would be responsible for unloading the goods, carrying them inside, and storing them properly.

All of this is done so that I can buy food from the store and add it whenever I want. Nothing else matters; food is the most important thing. After all, when you're hungry, the first thing you think about is being able to eat your fill.

Only Shui Qing and Fan Jin know how much coarse grain, rice, and flour are left in the warehouse.

After the two entered the storeroom, Fan Jin casually closed the storeroom door and bolted it.

The room suddenly became a little darker, but it didn't affect the viewing.

As Shui Qing looked at the food, she said, "One person gets one jin of grain a day, which is more than three hundred jin a year. Hong Daniu's family has the fewest members, so let's give them 1,500 jin a year for three people."

"Three hundred catties of rice, two hundred catties of wheat flour, five hundred catties of cornmeal, two hundred catties of potatoes, two hundred catties of millet, and one hundred catties of soybeans. Other households should follow this ratio, is that acceptable?"

They started their own vegetable garden. She had seen it; it was huge. They lacked nothing here except land. As long as people worked hard, they could probably have vegetables to eat in half a month, and in a few months, they would have more vegetables than they could eat.

Part of the vegetable garden is used to grow potatoes. The harvest at the end of the year will supplement the food for next year. We can continue to plant two more seasons next year, and eat them with rice and wheat flour for one or two years.

Red beans and mung beans need to be sweetened to taste good, and they are reluctant to sprout beans as vegetables. Soybeans are the most worthwhile, as they can be stir-fried, ground into soybean flour for dry food, or ground into soy paste to make soy products.

There were originally two stone mills in the house, one big and one small. A few days ago, the big one was moved to their place. There are more people there than in our family, so the big one is often not used.

In this way, when they grind grains into powder or paste, they won't have to carry the grains to this yard, grind them, and then carry them back, saving them the time and effort of traveling back and forth.

Fan Jin agreed without any objection: "Okay."

People who don't have much oil in their stomachs usually have a big appetite, and they always feel hungry at first. It's right to distribute more grain in the first year when the water is clear.

Shuiqing started buying food from the mall.

Fan Jin was responsible for gathering the grain neatly, classifying it for each household, and only opening the warehouse door after the purchase was complete, carrying the bags into the yard one by one.

The four households had different amounts, but the smallest amount was over a thousand catties. They can bring it back themselves in a cart later.

Next to each pile of grain was a smoked meat, five sections of sausage, a large jar of vegetable oil, and a large jar of rendered lard.

There wasn't much meat, but a lot of oil, because the two discovered that apart from the five women who couldn't swim, all the men could swim and were very skilled at catching fish.
