The kitchen had a storage room, about twenty square meters in size. Xu Zhi asked the steward to find a carpenter on the street to build a canopy for the house, where the family's grains and rice could be stored using a ladder.
Xu Zhi not only did it herself, but also made Ping Shi do the same. The housekeeper simply took the carpenter to the Feng family. The kitchens and storage rooms of the two families had the same layout, so the carpenter was able to do it easily. He finished the ceilings of both families in one afternoon.
The house not only needs to store good food and useful items, but also a lot of sandbags. They are placed between the front gate and the second gate. Xu Zhi carefully checked them. If the city floods, these sandbags can be used to block the water, and the water might not be able to get into the yard.
In Miaozhou City, there is a river that runs from the north to the south. Some of its smaller branches pass through the backyards of some houses. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a garden like the one where the Yun family girl fell into the water last time. Xu Zhi was actually quite worried. The river is blocked by a large iron fence at the base of the city wall to prevent people from sneaking into or out of the city. But if there are a lot of debris on the iron fence, will the city wall be able to withstand the force of the flood?
Xu Zhi couldn't sit still any longer. Knowing that Zheng Boyuan was coming back today, she wandered around the yard waiting for him.
When Zheng Boyuan returned, he saw Xu Zhi pacing around in the courtyard. Upon seeing him, she quickly came over and asked, "Did you see Lord Chu today? I heard that Lord Chu sent his family away. Is Lord Chu staying or will he go with them?"
Seeing that Xu Zhi's forehead was covered in sweat, Zheng Boyuan took her hand and said, "Don't worry, sit down and let's talk slowly."
Seeing Zheng Boyuan's calm expression, Xu Zhi gradually calmed her somewhat anxious mood, sighed, and said, "It's good that you're back. I've been thinking about some things again."
