This was something he hadn't expected.
“If the temperature is right, it will take three months, but now that the temperature has dropped, it will have an impact. However, I will try my best to make sure this batch of sweet potatoes can be harvested in three months,” Jiang Qinyu said while thinking.
There's no time to burn earthworms in the sweet potato field, but building greenhouses is still an option. As long as it's done properly, a good harvest is guaranteed.
Lu Yanzheng said, "If we eat sparingly, the food in the border town can last for another four months at most."
If the sweet potatoes ripen any later, he will have to find another way to buy grain from other places.
However, with soaring grain prices, many places are even unable to buy grain despite having money, making the future of the border town truly bleak.
Jiang Qinyu also thought of this and fell silent for a moment.
She has a system and a shop. If no one asks about the origin of the supplies, she can use the points earned by the system to support the people of this city.
But she knew she couldn't do that.
Once the system is exposed, she will be ostracized.
Perhaps no one cares about famine years right now, but what about in the future?
There are countless ungrateful wretches in this world, and she doesn't want to risk her own safety.
"The temperature is dropping, so I've had someone open the kiln to burn charcoal. Remember to remind Uncle Chen to fetch it. You all stay in the mansion and try not to go out, and you'll be fine." Lu Yanzheng quickly finished his meal and handed the food box to Jiang Qinyu.
Jiang Qinyu nodded, "Don't worry about the manor, we'll take good care of things."
She didn't say anything more and walked back with the food box in her hand.
Lu Yanzheng stared in the direction she had left, remaining silent for a long time.
...
After returning home, Jiang Qinyu immediately went to the riverbank.
Last night, Qi Wu organized people to build several thatched huts by the river as a place for people to stay while keeping watch and patrolling the sweet potato fields.
Upon seeing Jiang Qinyu approaching, Qi Wu immediately led his men forward.
“Madam, we are here. If anything happens, I will go to the General’s Mansion to find you. You don’t need to come here in person,” Qi Wu said sincerely.
They are all grown men who are fine being out in the wind and sun, but it's not good for the lady, a frail woman, to keep going out like this.
Jiang Qinyu shook her head, "It's getting colder now, the sweet potatoes need to be kept warm..."
