After washing her face in the bathroom, Chi Qiao came over, hugged Zhuangzhuang, and said:

"Second brother, third brother, Xiaoyu said before that this batch of grain in the field is going to be donated to the frontier."

Let's see if we can collect them all by the 20th.

I want Amu to make the contact and try to get the grain transported before the 21st.

At this point, she looked at Chi Yu and said, "Little Yu, starting tomorrow, take all the newly harvested grains from the cave out to dry."

"Don't even mention donating grain; the grain over there is still wet and hasn't been dried."

"good!"

After saying this, Chi Yu reached out and patted her son's head before leaving the space.

It's so hot outside now, and it's not going to rain. Even without the sun, if you leave it out in the yard overnight, it should be pretty dry.

As for the morning dew, that's because of the large temperature difference between day and night.

On this day, the highest temperature is 46 degrees Celsius and the lowest is 40 degrees Celsius, so there is none at all.

Putting everything else aside, it's only a little past seven in the evening now, and the sun has already set.

The real-time outside temperature displayed inside the space was still forty-four degrees.

So how could there be dew?

Because they wanted to get the grain out before they had to go back, everyone worked hard from then on.

With Qin Mu as a strong laborer, the group finished harvesting in just three days.

Just as Chi Yu wanted Qin Mu to have the grain moved away immediately, he disagreed!

He said that this was not Fang Daren's territory after all, and it was hard to explain why so many sweet potatoes and potatoes suddenly appeared here.

After all, Anping County and Beijing are already growing it, so we can't just say it's an imported product from overseas.

He also said that it would be best to wait until after returning to Chijia'ao before finding an opportunity to "transport" the grain down the mountain!

So after the twenty-second announcement, the group immediately set off on their return journey.

When they arrived at the city gate, they happened to run into Shen Zhaochen and Song Chongjin, who had come from Anping County.

Accompanying them were Guo Fu and several of his subordinates.

"Amu!"

Upon seeing Qin Mu, Shen Zhaochen, though still hesitant to approach, was noticeably more at ease than before.

He was still quite excited to meet her in a foreign land.

Qin Mu found a quiet spot and stopped the carriage.

Guo Fu, who had driven over, then asked, "Amu, how did you do on the exam this time?"

Things are not peaceful in Wuning Prefecture, and the lord has asked you to participate in the transport this time.

As for my younger brother and sister-in-law, I will send someone to take them back.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu subconsciously looked at Chi Yu.

Fang Shizhong was the ruler, and he was the subject. He had to carry out Fang's orders.

Similarly, Chi Yu understood, so she nodded slightly to him.

This time, Madam Su exchanged all her fruit for more than three thousand shi (a unit of dry measure) of grain.

If her sister hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, Chi Yu probably wouldn't have been able to imagine it.

You must understand that although this fruit is rare, food is far more important at this time.

More than 3,000 shi of grain, if each shi is calculated at 100 jin, is equivalent to more than 300,000 jin.

This number is quite considerable!

Indeed, the saying "Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste, while on the road, frozen corpses lie" is no exaggeration.

Ordinary people are trying every means to hoard food, while wealthy families with connections can afford to spend so much on fruit.

Although she did not know the exact weight of the fruit, she knew that fruit was not easy to store and could not be eaten as a staple food for a long time.

With those three thousand shi (a unit of dry measure), it should be able to give the people of Wuning Prefecture a much-needed respite.

However, she estimated that not only was Wuning Prefecture in turmoil, but Jianzhou Prefecture was probably in a similar state.
