Chi Ye nodded: "Okay! I still need your help with the travel permit. Also, regarding the food you mentioned, please leave me ten loads each of coarse grains and coarse flour."

"Reserve ten bushels each of refined grains and wheat flour."

Ikeno didn't know exactly how much to buy, but he thought that buying more couldn't be wrong.

There are several children in the family. It's already early September, and we have ten bushels of fine grain each. If we eat it sparingly, it should last until the beginning of next year.

Qin Mu agreed when he heard that the amount was not large: "Alright, we'll settle the payment when we deliver the grain!"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out.

The Ikeno brothers followed closely behind.

The fish in the pond next door are unaware of all this.

At this moment, she is in her online space, making a list with her sister.

"Sister, besides food, warm clothes, and medicine, we should also prepare more salt and sugar."

In addition, if there is an epidemic or something, disinfection will be necessary.

In this era, there was no disinfectant, so we could only use vinegar and high-concentration alcohol.

But that's such a waste. Do you think there's anything we could use instead?

"Quicklime, that's all you need for disinfection."

"Okay, let's add the quicklime. Besides that, shouldn't we buy more seeds?"

Grain seeds, vegetable seeds. Oh, and sis, we can also try to see if we can raise animals.

For example, you could raise chickens, ducks, and pigs inside.

Chickens are easy to handle, but as for ducks, aren't there streams nearby?

As for pigs, although we hunters have no shortage of meat, who knows what the situation will be like then?

I think it would be a good idea to buy some pigs to raise.

By the way, the weather is starting to get colder now, should we buy more meat and put it in our storage space?

Once the weather gets completely cold, we'll take the meat out and make cured pork and sausages.

Speaking of this, I'm reminded of something.

As the weather gets colder, clothes alone aren't enough to keep warm; we also need to stock up on charcoal.

Upon hearing the word "charcoal," Chi Qiao recalled the temperature of Chijia'ao in previous years from the original owner's memories, and immediately shivered. She then said:

"It's good to stock up on charcoal, and if possible, it's even better to burn it yourself."

In this way, costs can be saved, and every household can save some money.

Another thing I'd like to do is let everyone build a kang (heated brick bed).

Our geographical location is neither north nor south, but right in the middle.

In addition, our Chijia'ao has a high altitude, more than a thousand meters higher than Anping County.

"It will be much better with a heated kang bed in winter."

Chi Yu also thought of the altitude of Chijia'ao, and nodded: "I am a science student, and I know the construction principle of the kang (heated brick bed).

I'll draw it later, sister. You can take it to my nephews and tell them to go home and make one for each room.

However, to save firewood, it's best if the flue is connected to the stove area.

"Okay, you draw first, and I'll take a look later."

It's already September, and we don't have much time left.

Chi Yu, holding a pen, leaned back on the sofa, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister, I wonder how big the earthquake will be."

The houses in our Chijia'ao are all stone houses.

Although it is warm in winter and cool in summer, if an earthquake occurs and rocks roll down, it is no joke.

I'm thinking about whether I should make the cement.

"If the stone house had cement, I think it would be much more sturdy, right?"

Chi Qiao, who was pondering what preparations she still needed to make, looked up at her with surprise in her eyes when she heard this.

"Cement? Little Fish, you want to make cement?"
