Farmers need these seeds right now, which is why I'm thinking of taking as many as I can. There are so many people in the entire empire, and although only a few provinces have been affected by the disaster, the areas near those provinces are also in dire straits.
When He Caiwei heard on the radio that it had rained in the disaster area, she was waiting for her uncle's call.
Another day of slacking off has arrived. When it's time to leave work, He Caiwei grabs her small handbag and dashes out the door.
The older colleague in her department looked at her like this, and then at the direction she ran, and shook her head with a smile. These young people really don't know how to hide their emotions.
He Caiwei was thinking of going to the capital. The disaster in the south was not so severe, and if they tried hard, they could still find some seeds. The north was a different story. They had been suffering from drought for more than two years. They had eaten all the tree bark and grass roots. What they needed most now was relief food and seeds, because it had started to rain in the north, which meant that the dry season was over.
To avoid suspicion, He Caiwei shredded all the corn she had grown in her space, except for the corn used for planting, into powder, including the corn cobs and stalks. She mixed this powder with some broken rice flour, which could be used as relief food to fill her stomach.
She has a multi-purpose workshop. Originally, these things would automatically decompose into nutrients when thrown into the ground. Now, after she puts them into the workshop, she has adjusted it so that the workshop can process all the rice into powder. Although it is a bit harsh on the throat when cooked, it can fill one's stomach.
Using these as relief food is at least much better than those meal replacement powders made from tree bark and trunks.
It wasn't that she was unwilling to take out those coarse grains; it was just that there were too many people affected by the disaster. She combined all the coarse grains together and processed them. The result tasted alright and was easier to fill one's stomach without causing any other side effects. She herself had taken out some to try it out.
This way, the processed rice has more weight and can help more people. Since the amount of straw and husks added is very small, she specifically pointed to the top section when harvesting the rice, which only had a section of straw about the size of a thumb, in addition to the rice ears.
In the past few days, she has almost filled up the warehouses that were previously used to store food, and the largest warehouse is full of the relief food she is going to take out.
He Caiwei asked Lu Qingfeng to give her half a month's leave. Now it's almost the end of the month, and she has already done her work. All that's left is to get the money and calculate it the day before payday. This can be left to the people in the finance department.
To get from here to Chuncheng, it would take five or six days with the current transportation; she would have to rely on herself.
Of course, she took so many days off because she was thinking of going out to make some more money. She could go and come back quickly by herself and didn't have to go through the normal channels.
It's not impossible for her to provide everything; her space is so vast that if she works hard, she can grow enough crops to feed the entire empire for a year. But she'll take what she can get; it's only fair that she takes advantage of any opportunity. She can manage to run errands all she has to do.
Lu Qingfeng wanted to know where the little girl was going, but she only told him that she was going to deliver seeds to her father, and said nothing more.
Seeing her leave under cover of night, Lu Qingfeng had no choice but to wait until dawn to send a telegram to his father at the post office.
After realizing that no one was watching him, He Caiwei took out an electric car from her personal space and sped off, taking the shortest route to Chuncheng.
The train journey, which would normally take five or six days, was shortened to two and a half days because Caiwei and I took a shortcut and drove ourselves, avoiding many detours. In addition, she traveled day and night, resting in her space whenever she was tired.
Because she was afraid that others would notice her car was different and cause trouble, she drove a car during the day that was similar to the cars that were available outside.
They arrived at the cave where they had stored potatoes. No one had been there for a long time, and the entrance to the cave was covered in dust.
He Caiwei wandered around the area again and found an even larger cave nearby. Perhaps because the current Shandong cave was still usable, she didn't look for it and thus didn't find the cave.
The caves all looked about the same size, but this one was much deeper, shaped like a gourd.
He Caiwei quickly prepared the new cave and then made a trip to the Russian territory. By the time she arrived, the Russians had been covered in snow, so there wasn't much left to look for.
There wasn't much that wasn't covered, but even a mosquito's leg is meat, and He Caiwei, who was always eager to take advantage of any opportunity, would never let it go.
After visiting several farms, I found a quiet farm at the foot of the mountain with no lights. It had a lot of supplies, with potatoes and wheat filling the warehouse. The only problem was that the person was nowhere to be found.
Seeing the sheep inside the shed, all frozen and on the verge of death, one wonders if the farm owner has left or encountered some accident, otherwise they wouldn't be running outside in the dead of winter.
Moreover, there are several hundred sheep here, and there is not a single blade of grass left in the feeding area. The shed is still warm enough, but the fire has been extinguished, and the whole place is freezing cold. Based on a rough estimate, no one has been here for at least 10 days.
These sheep are really resilient. In so many days, only about 10 sheep have died. Although the others don't look like they will live much longer, as long as they still have a breath left, they are considered alive sheep.
He Caiwei took all the sheep back to her own space, moved them to the grassland to graze, gave them some well water, and then left them alone.
After she came out, she used the farm's machinery to ransack the entire farm, including all the potatoes and wheat that had been buried underground.
She took all the machines and usable items from the farm, and when she came to her senses, all that was left were empty house frames and livestock sheds.
After she finished packing, she discovered that the farm owner had died in the backyard. It looked like he had slipped and fallen, hitting his head on something that looked like a hoe, and then bled to death.
He Caiwei took so many of his things, and reluctantly dug a hole in the house to bury him.
Don't ask why we don't dig outside; it's simply because it's frozen solid and impossible to dig.
The room was much warmer than the outside, except for the wooden floor, which was easy to pry open. After burying the people, He Caiwei returned to China.
Back at the cave, she put all the relief food she had prepared, as well as the things she had looted from the Russians, into the cave. Her uncle was too fast; she was afraid that after she went down the mountain to make a phone call, her uncle would arrive before she could get back up. So she had to put them away first. Besides, the place was sparsely populated, and she had already checked that there were only wild animals on the mountain besides hers, so she wasn't worried about anyone coming.
