"Not too much, not too little! I can eat it all." Bai Manshan cheerfully reported his culinary haul: "Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone us humans?"
Outsiders only think that the Bai family's land is distributed in Nandu, but in fact, Nandu accounts for less than 30% of the land.
Next to Guangning Prefecture is Nanning Prefecture, where there is a place called Ma Ya Lake, which is like a natural reservoir, surrounded by 800 acres of fertile land! And the land is countless.
And precisely because of the natural reservoir of Ma Ya Lake, irrigation during the dry season and water storage during the rainy season are both convenient, it has always been the largest supplier for my Bai family's grain shop.
Bai Manshan couldn't hide her joy when talking about her foresight and careful planning.
Plus a little bit of pride.
Li Huyu couldn't bear to look.
She shouldn't have shielded him from the tea earlier; now she's showing off in front of her friend and embarrassing her.
Bai Manshan caught his wife's gaze and quickly suppressed his smug expression.
Feeling wronged, he thought to himself, "He doesn't show off to everyone. He just thinks Shuiqing and her friend are trustworthy people."
Shui Qing's lips curled up repeatedly, she was struggling to hold back her smile.
The image of a natural reservoir came to mind, and the question arose: "Is the lake a reservoir formed between two mountains?"
Bai Manshan asked in surprise, "You've been there?"
Seeing Shuiqing shake her head, knowing that she had guessed correctly, she explained, "It's between two mountains. A dam has been built in front of it to store water during the rainy season and release it during the dry season, so the harvest there has always been good."
Shui Qing thought for a moment, then used the old village chief as an excuse, saying, "The old village chief said that the winter weather is unusually bad, and there might be torrential rains in the summer. If the reservoir's water storage capacity is insufficient, the flood will spread."
Thinking of the dam collapse caused by the torrential rain and floods in China decades ago, which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people and affected countless others, he quickly stopped.
It shouldn't be that serious.
Bai Manshan took it to heart.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he came up with a solution: "There is a Fish Back Mountain on the other side, which is higher than the reservoir. The rice seedlings have been planted now, and it is the off-season for farming. I will go to the village and tell the men to build a dozen or so thatched huts and treehouses on Fish Back Mountain."
Add a few more stoves, put some grain on them, and if the rainy season is the same as usual this year, you can carry the grain back after it passes.
If the rainfall is extremely heavy, move to the mountains immediately!
Shui Qing looked at Bai Manshan and realized that it was well-deserved for him to be the richest man in Nandu!
They are strong in action, execution, and response.
"If the rice seedlings in the fields are damaged, so be it. My Bai family can afford to lose them. People can't be harmed. As long as there are people, there is hope." Bai Manshan said, standing up and cupping his hands to the two of them. "I originally wanted to have lunch before leaving, but I was worried. I'll go and make arrangements first. We can meet again another day."
Shui Qing and Fan Jin really didn't expect Bai Manshan to leave so suddenly.
What I didn't expect was that he had originally planned to come and leave today.
The two stood up, wanting to persuade him to stay, but afraid of delaying their business.
"I'll go make you some egg pancakes for your journey!" Shuiqing said as she walked out.
Li Huyu grabbed her arm: "Make more! And make some for me too."
Shui Qing: ...This couple is really in sync.
Li Huyu turned to her husband and said, "You can't be out there all by yourself without someone you can trust. Let's work together; you use your brain and I'll do the work!"
"...good."
Bai Ziqian had disappeared somewhere, and Bai Manshan and Li Huyu didn't have time to care.
He only instructed Fan Jin and Shui Qing not to spoil him, to do his chores, and to discipline him if he made a mistake.
After giving his instructions, the carriage, loaded with the food prepared by Shui Qing, departed without stopping.
They came in a hurry, and left even faster.
