The three shrewd old men all knew what it meant if the grain yield was really that high, and she sent it to the government office to present it to the imperial court.
This is a major event that benefits the country and its people, and the imperial court will surely offer some reward.
At that time, the Chi family will become known to the world.
Putting everything else aside, the help that Xiaoyu has given to the tribe since the disaster last year is enough to make her deserve such treatment!
Chi Yu had no idea what the three old people were thinking.
Then she continued, saying that it was the most important thing.
She cleared her throat, and after everyone looked over, she said with a serious expression:
"Now, the fifth thing I'm going to say, you all need to pay close attention."
The crowd was puzzled, wondering if there was anything worse than corvée labor and plague.
However, that was the reality. Before they could even figure it out, Chi Yu said:
"What follows will be extreme heat and drought."
As for how hot and dry it is, all I can say is that rivers have dried up and the land is cracked.
It will take about three months to reach that stage.
So, you'd better think carefully about how to prepare and how to deal with this!
Chi Yu's words were like dropping a bomb into a small pond.
The explosion left everyone stunned and unable to react for a long time.
Even Chi Dongyi and the two clan elders, who considered themselves to be knowledgeable and experienced more than anyone else present, were no exception!
Seeing their reaction, Chi Yu cleared his throat again.
As everyone stared at him blankly, he said:
"Now is not the time to be confused; we need to quickly think of how to deal with this."
In my opinion, it's too hot; we could live underground.
In the event of a drought, we should stockpile water. Of course, stockpiling food is also essential in that situation.
I don't know the exact extent of the impact yet, but I'm certain that Anping County is affected.
Chi Dongyi felt that he had lived to his sixties and had experienced more disasters than he had in his entire life.
Hearing Chi Yu say that everyone should live underground and that they should store water and food, he felt particularly bitter.
"Little Fish, everyone is building houses now, living underground, so it's not a big deal."
Dig a large cellar on either side, the same size as the house above, so there will be enough space for everyone to live there.
Even if you could get your hands on some grain, the villagers don't have much money to buy it!
Now that the weather is starting to warm up, it's a good time for women and children to go dig for wild vegetables.
However, according to the little fish, the temperature will rise rapidly.
It's estimated that it won't even take a month before summer arrives.
It's too hot to go out and dig for wild vegetables.
Without any wild vegetables to dig up, people got sunburned and developed health problems.
Of course, we should still grow our own vegetables. If we run out of food, we can eat dried vegetables instead!
He was unsure about the situation because he couldn't stockpile too much food.
Hearing Chi Dongyi say this, and seeing that he and the two elders all looked preoccupied, Chi Yu couldn't help but say:
"Uncle Chief, you don't need to worry too much."
I remember that before the rain disaster last year, everyone stocked up on some food.
Later, they bought quite a few more from me.
Even if there are many people in my family, I think as long as I'm frugal, we can still eat for a year or two without any problem.
I don't know how long this drought will last right now.
But we live off the land, so no matter what, we won't be any worse off than those people in the city.
The food I have here was all brought by Amu.
I don't know how much he can get now, given the current situation.
Anyway, let's try to stock up. Buy what we can, and if we can't, we'll eat sparingly.
