Chapter 955 Closing the Store
Shen Qingqian pursed her lips and forced a smile, "Nothing, second brother, continue with your work, don't worry about me."
She had never expected that the soil here would change in such a short period of time.
The moisture content in the soil was more than five times lower than the last time she checked!
Five times! If grain production is linked to soil moisture, the yield of this land would now be half of what it was before.
This data is too scary. Shen Qingqian was very confident about getting through this winter before, but now she felt like she was slapped in the face. The change came too suddenly.
It seems that Ezhou will be much colder this year than last year, and the plan they had previously made will have to be enhanced.
Shen Jun looked around and guessed that she had some concerns, so he didn't ask any more questions and went back to work with his men.
With strength in numbers, it only took half a day to complete the work on the fertile land in the small valley.
On the way back, Yuan Lai patted the dirt off his body and said, "I haven't worked for a long time. I almost forgot how to use a hoe."
"Do you still want to farm on the mountain?" Shen Qingqian asked curiously.
Yuan Lai rolled his eyes at her and said, "Look at what you said. If we don't farm, what will we eat?"
However, he has been concentrating on practicing martial arts in recent years, and the farming is taken care of by several farmers invited from the foot of the mountain.
Moreover, he usually does not need to turn the soil by himself, and the earthworms in the ground can be turned around at will.
When Shen Qingqian heard this, she suddenly recalled the scene when Sheng Ze and Ling Yun first started farming. At that time, they seemed to be more skilled than others.
But the third brother in front of me seems to be able to communicate with animals
Shen Qingqian looked at Yuan Lai, thoughts racing in her mind.
Yuan Lai felt uncomfortable when she looked at him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Look at what you said. We are all family now. I won't harm you." Shen Qingqian smiled and looked at Yuan Lai as if he saw a savior.
If we can get this person to help, then we won't have to rely on manpower to plow the soil in the winter. Saving manpower means that everyone won't have to go out in the winter, which will reduce a lot of danger.
But she still needs to think about asking him for help.
Yuan Lai subconsciously distanced himself from Shen Qingqian. He always felt that this little girl was thinking of something bad for him.
Shen Qingqian couldn't care about him at the moment, so she walked to Shen Jun and said, "Second brother, I'm going into the city this afternoon."
"Didn't we just go there a few days ago? Or do you need to buy something? Let me go with you." Shen Jun asked curiously.
Shen Qingqian shook her head. "No, I wanted to tell Fourth Sister and the others that the pastry shop would have to close this winter."
"Close the shop" Shen Jun was stunned, "Why?"
Shen Qingqian simply said, "I'll tell you in detail when Fourth Sister and the others come back."
If this winter is really as she predicted, a cold winter that occurs only once in a thousand years, then Shen Qingning and the others will not be safe in the city, and the store will not be able to do business at all.
At times like this, it is more reassuring for the whole family to stay together.
"Then you don't have to go. I'll go." Shen Jun knew that she would not make a decision lightly, so he said immediately.
Shen Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go to the planting base this afternoon."
Things at home are easy to arrange, but there are still many preparations to be made at the planting base.
Moreover, she just had a new idea about keeping warm in winter, and she has to try it out in the next two days to see if it can be promoted on a large scale.
Shen Qingqian looked up at the sky and sighed inwardly: I hope God can have more mercy on the people!
"Finally back from Beijing. Starting tomorrow I'll do my best to update more. So here's to you all~"
