Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 915: The landlord’s family has no surplus food either

Prime Minister Su's boy at the door brought the letter in. Prime Minister Su opened it and read it on the spot and nodded. He also read medical books in his spare time. The matter of drinking water was recorded in detail in "Compendium of Materia Medica". He told Gu Fei The general ones are the same.

He showed the letter to King Qi again.

King Qi raised his brows, not expecting his daughter-in-law to know this, "Very good, what I just said, plus what the Crown Princess said in her letter, we need to do it as soon as possible to prevent the plague from spreading."

After the letter was sent, Gu Fei felt relieved.

She asked Lian'er to arrange a car again, as she wanted to go back to her parents' home.

Lian'er went back and said, "Prince Concubine, the manager said that there are not many horses in the mansion, so there is no need for a carriage at the moment."

Gu Fei thought for a while, "Then let's walk."

Taking Qin'er and Lian'er with her, Gu Fei went out.

After leaving the palace, we walked onto the street. The shops and walls on both sides of the street all had watermarks on them.

There is still mud in many places along the street.

Crossing three streets, we arrived at my parents' house.

Mrs. Chen got the message and hurriedly ran out to support Gu Fei, "I told you not to come. There is nothing going on at home. You are running around with a big belly. What should I do if you have fetal force?"

Gu Fei walked slowly inside, "Where are dad and eldest brother?"

Mrs. Chen sighed, "Your father, eldest brother, and your brother-in-law have all gone to the countryside. Our family has more than 2,000 acres of land, and most of it is planted with millet. Now it's all gone."

"We have to appease the tenants and say that they won't collect rent this year."

"You don't know, some of the millet in the field have sprouted, and some have soaked and smelled sour."

"That's it, I have to collect it quickly and see if there is anything edible after drying it."

"Those tenant farmers were just waiting for the rice to be put into the pot, but now it's all over."

"Your father and your eldest brother went to the countryside and were surrounded by tenants asking to borrow money. They were both soft-hearted and borrowed money when they saw how pitiful they were. They didn't receive any rent this year, but they lent a lot."

“I don’t know if I’ll have to pay it back at the end of the year.”

Gu Fei couldn't help but think of a sentence, the landlord's family didn't have any surplus food.

The family will probably need to buy food soon. The food she collected that day can last for a month at most.

Chen muttered, "If I had known that all the peppers were planted, my peppers would have been harvested and sold."

Gu Fei came in and sat down, comforting her mother, "It's okay. When the water recedes, we can still plant another season of rice."

Mrs. Chen nodded, "That's true. That's the good thing about Jiangnan. It can harvest two crops of rice a year, so it's not easy for people to go hungry."

"However, yesterday, my fifth aunt went out to buy vegetables. She said they were grains and the prices of vegetables had gone up, but not much."

"By the way, the government office is distributing food. Anyone who wants to get it can go and get it, but the food is soaked in water."

"Many people took them back and spread them out in the yard to dry."

Next to her, Li Chunhua added, "I heard people say that rice soaked in water doesn't taste very good."

Mrs. Chen sighed, "It doesn't matter what the taste is, as long as it can be stuffed into your stomach and you won't starve to death."

Gu Fei laughed. King Qi's move was a good one. It would last for a while and no victims would starve.

Nowadays, many places have been conquered, and only two counties were affected. Food can be transferred from other places, so it doesn't matter.

Seeing that her parents' house was in good order, Gu Fei felt relieved and stood up to go back. Mrs. Chen kept walking with her and sent her into the gate of the palace before spinning around.

On the way, she was repeatedly told not to run around, but to have someone send her a message when the baby was about to be born. She and Lanzhi would go to the palace to guard her, but she was worried.
