Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

The same procedure applies: take it away, return it tenfold, and put it back in its original place.

All done!

Su Wanqing glanced at the space with satisfaction: one thousand tons of rice had become ten thousand tons, and wheat had increased tenfold to seven thousand tons. Now, even if a blizzard blocked the mountain for four or eight months, she could handle it. The casualties would definitely not be as heavy as in the original story.

On the surface, there are still a lot of supplies in the group's warehouse, but secretly there are dozens of times more in other spaces, giving us an overwhelming sense of security.

It was dark when she left the granary. Li Aiguo and Zhou Yanshen were still guarding the door, but they didn't ask her any questions when they saw her come out.

Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief—the grain and coal were secured, now all that was left was to wait for a letter from Elder Zhang to take her and Zhou Yanshen to find beryllium ore.

·

Zhou Yanshen has been going out more and more frequently lately. This mission involves a large number of people, and as one of the executors, he had a lot of preparations to make beforehand: route planning, resource allocation, safety plans—he had to worry about everything. Just when he had almost finished his work, the official documents from Elder Zhang arrived as expected.

Liu Shuqing happily called her to the command post and handed her the documents: "Dr. Su, this is the transfer order from above! You're still an external technician for the Geological Bureau? They personally requested you to participate in the exploration mission, that's really giving our regimental commander a lot of face!"

Su Wanqing took the document and glanced at it, not surprised at all: "It's because my husband helped them out when he was on a mission last time, that's how we got this relationship." She put the document away. "Secretary Liu, I need to ask for leave. If there are any patients with acute illnesses during this time, tell them to go to the county clinic first, and if they're not in a hurry, they can wait for me to come back."

"Alright, alright, go ahead without worry!" Liu Shuqing waved his hand and sighed again.

"Dr. Su, you have no idea. When that kid Gu Zhixing opens his mouth, I have to run my legs off. A few days ago, after our regiment finished stockpiling supplies, I kindly told the surrounding regiments and the county town that the weather this year was abnormal and there might be a blizzard, much stronger than usual, so they should prepare more supplies. And what happened? They laughed at me for making a fuss over nothing, saying things like, 'Old Liu, you've made a fortune and you're burning it out'—only the 61st Regiment believed me and bought more cotton, made a few more quilts, and even traded dried peaches for some grain. They often get hail there, so they're sensitive to this kind of thing. As for the others... sigh, I'm caught in the middle."

Su Wanqing was silent for a moment.

She had anticipated this—in this day and age, who would believe you if you told them there was a natural disaster? Everyone was struggling to get enough to eat; who had the resources to prepare for the uncertainties? But no matter how many supplies she had in her spatial storage, they still needed to reach people. If heavy snow blocked the roads, clearing the snow between farms and counties would take three to five days. How many people would starve or freeze to death during that time?

What she wants is to accumulate merit and get rewards, not to watch people die and resources sit idle.

"I'll write a letter to Director Li and Leader Jiang," Su Wanqing decided immediately. "I'm packing my things today and leaving with Yan Shen tomorrow morning. I'll trouble Secretary Liu to pass it on for me. They're big shots in Yili now, and their words carry weight. Even if the people below don't believe them, a document they issue or a reminder will always make people more cautious. If there's no disaster, that's best; we might lose face. But if there is, it'll be a lifesaver."

Liu Shuqing nodded in agreement. He hadn't expected Su Wanqing to be so concerned about this matter, making it seem like a major disaster was imminent. But since she had spoken, he would do as she said.

Su Wanqing walked to her desk, picked up her pen, and wrote:

"To Leader Jiang and Director Li:"

Reliable sources have recently indicated that a severe blizzard is expected to hit Yili this winter, arriving at least a month earlier than usual and potentially lasting for several months. The blizzard will completely disrupt road transport, and without adequate preparation, there is a risk of numerous deaths and injuries from cold and starvation.

It is recommended to immediately notify all counties and farms: 1. Emergency stockpiling of coal and firewood, enough for at least three months' use; 2. Purchase surplus grain and store it in warehouses, storing enough for four months' worth of rations at a standard of 30 jin per person per month; 3. Mobilize the masses to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts, giving priority to the elderly, weak, women and children.

It's better to believe it's true than not. If the disaster is real, this action could save tens of thousands of lives. I urge you both to take this seriously.

Su Wanqing bowed her head.

After blowing away the ink, she folded the letter and handed it to Liu Shuqing: "While Yanshen and I were away, we would like to trouble Secretary Liu to take care of the two elderly people at home."

"Go with peace of mind, I'll take care of things in the troupe." Liu Shuqing carefully put away the letter.

Back home, Su Wanqing began packing her luggage.

Practice makes perfect, and since she already knew she was leaving, she had already given all the necessary instructions over the past few days. With Uncle Ding at home, growing vegetables, watering plants, feeding chickens, and feeding pigs were no problem—the only issue was that Uncle Ding wasn't very good at cooking.

But this was no problem for Su Wanqing. These days, every time she went to the market, she would buy a lot of pork and fish, pretending to fry pork meatballs and fish pieces. So, now that she was leaving, she put out more than 100 catties of pork meatballs, ten basins of fried fish, and several large pots of braised eggs, salt-baked eggs, and braised tofu and vegetables.

In short, I braise everything. Of course, I'll bring some braised vegetables and meat with me on this trip.

By the way, she has a lot of eggs now, thousands in her space. She upgraded for free after getting ten times the normal amount and got a lot of tiger-skin eggs. This time she left some at home and took some with her.

Also, bring a bag of fried small fish and fried large fish as snacks, as well as pork jerky, pork floss...

Bring some honey to moisten your mouth on the road, a few boxes of fermented rice wine to eat in the morning, and some canned malted milk powder as well.

There's plenty of space for steamed buns and meat buns, so every few days she would pretend to steam several large baskets of them, leaving dozens for her family and taking dozens with her on the road.

In short, when Su Wanqing finished packing, the baskets and boxes on the left were what she was going to take with her, while the cooked meat and various foods in the kitchen on the right were for Uncle Ding and Zhou's mother.

Uncle Ding's lips twitched as he looked at the scene: "Wanqing, this isn't going out, it's moving house! We feel like we can eat until the New Year with all this left!"

He's been so busy these past few days that he hasn't had a moment to spare, and he hadn't even noticed how much food he had stocked up in the kitchen. Now that he looks at it, wow, it's more lavish than even the New Year.

In addition, the weather is cool now, so these things can be stored in a cellar or a well.

Su Wanqing smiled as she stuffed things into her basket: "When you're traveling, you need to eat and stay well. Yan Shen can carry all this stuff without any trouble. I'm worried you won't eat well at home. Here, these cooked foods can be heated up and eaten. The vegetables in the yard are all ripe; just pick some and cook them in. It'll be nutritious and convenient."
