It's only a little past ten in the morning, but she feels like it's already thirty-three or thirty-four degrees.
It's hotter than yesterday!
Early this morning, under the arrangement of the clan chief, the villagers delivered grain and marriage certificates to the people of Wuning Prefecture.
Now everyone is building workshops or houses.
The remaining people either stayed at home and continued digging cellars, or stored food everywhere.
"Auntie, the potatoes in my yard have sprouted. I want to plant them, but I'm worried they'll die from the heat."
"I don't know much about farming either. When you have some free time later, you can ask your dad or your wife, or if all else fails, you can ask her."
As for the main table you mentioned, the clan leader and others will definitely sit there, followed by the elders from each branch of the family.
There will be two tables for men and one table for women.
As for those outside, they're mostly either peers or juniors; you can arrange things as you see fit.
Chi Ye nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Aunt, where is Amu, no, I mean my uncle? I heard he's back?"
"You're back! I don't know how long it's been since you rested. You're sleeping soundly in your room right now. Is there something you need to see him about?"
"It's nothing, I just heard he went to look for a water source and wanted to ask if he found one."
The temperature rose sharply that day, and I heard that the river in Beishan had already shrunk.
I estimate that if things continue like this, the river will dry up in less than half a month.
There are more than 800 people in Beishan now. If the water supply is cut off, their drinking water will become a problem.
If a water source is found on the mountain, that would be fine.
If there weren't any, those people from Wuning Prefecture would probably have to dig a well, or they'd have to come to our village to fetch water.”
The distance from Chijia'ao to where the people of Beishan Wuning Prefecture lived was not short.
It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
Moreover, carrying water up the mountain would only increase the difficulty.
Chi Yu had also considered the drinking water problem for the people of Wuning Prefecture, and upon hearing Chi Ye's words, he said:
"You don't need to worry about that. Let A-Kang discuss it with the clan chief himself later."
How the clan communicates with the people of Wuning Prefecture at that time is up to them.
Ah Ye, what you need to do is help me build the workshop before it gets too popular.
By the way, how's the collection of grease and wood ash going?
She had already asked the clan to retrieve the ashes from the previous wildfire.
Before the people from Wuning Prefecture arrived, that place was generally considered to belong to the people of Chijia'ao.
They need the ash from the wildfire, so we should give it to them; there's no need to buy it from the people of Wuning Prefecture.
However, if you want it again in the future, you will have to buy it.
She hasn't decided on the acquisition price yet.
"Now, people from Chijia'ao and Beishan all choose to sell their wild animals with fat to us whenever they hunt them."
Regardless of quality, including the grease on fur, it was all two coins per pound.
Besides that, my aunt paid one coin for every five catties of wood ash.
The dam over the threshing ground is flat, and the stones that the village can use to rebuild the stone houses have already been bought back.
However, there was no foundation there, so the foundation for the workshop had to be dug again.
I don't know if you went to see it, Aunt, but the foundation is almost finished.
I'm waiting for you, my aunt, to send over the wood ash, cement, and glutinous rice paste. I wonder when both of these will arrive?
Chi Yu really wished he could split himself in two and use him for his own purposes.
The land in the space hasn't been fully cultivated yet, and the workshop is waiting for wood ash and cement.
Fortunately, her space is currently filled with dust.
She and her sister will go and get it done this afternoon, hoping to get it done before the tenth of the lunar month.
"The wood ash cement takes time; I'll give it to you before the tenth of the month. As for the glutinous rice paste, I'll give you the glutinous rice."
