Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Mr. Fan was so surprised that he didn't dare to reach out to take the dozen or so silver ingots.

"Madam, isn't this too much? We work in the grain store and have already received monthly wages. We were also given bonuses a few days ago, and now we are getting..."

Mr. Fan felt that it was too much and the treatment was too good, so he didn't dare to accept it.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Not much. The shop is able to make so much profit because of you. You all have made contributions. This money is what you deserve!"

"Manager Fan, take the silver back and distribute it to everyone. Also, emphasize to them again that as long as they work hard in the shop, they will receive a steady stream of rewards in the future."

"But if someone dares to cheat, I will not tolerate it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Fan carefully accepted the twelve silver ingots, intending to return to the shop later, exchange them for small change, and distribute them.

"By the way, Madam, our two granaries are now full of grain, and the small warehouse in our shop is almost full as well. Do you think we should continue to buy grain?"

Before this, Gu Yunxi had repeatedly instructed Mr. Fan to buy grain. Although Mr. Fan didn't know why, he still did it.

Now, both granaries are full, and the small warehouse behind the grain shop is also full.

Gu Yunxi looked at the blue sky outside, and thought of the drop in the water level of Green Creek at Green Creek Farm. He nodded and said, "Go find another granary, buy it, and continue to purchase grain."

If the space elf had not lied to her, then in the near future, there might really be drought and famine, and food would be in short supply.

Mr. Fan nodded, stood up and said goodbye to leave the Lu family.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi asked Xiao Cui to look for Mo San and prepare the carriage to go to Luxi Farm.

Mo San personally drove the carriage, taking Gu Yunxi and Xiao Cui with him. On the way, Gu Yunxi asked, "Mo San, has the well at Green Creek Farm been dug recently?"

While driving the carriage, Mo San answered loudly: "To answer Madam, Mr. Zhang from Green Creek Farm came to your house a few days ago and told me that the two wells have been dug."

"But, he said that the well is a bit strange and doesn't seem to produce much water."

Gu Yunxi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. There wasn't much water coming out, which shouldn't be the case? Was it really going to be a drought?

"What about the two wells that originally existed on the farm?" Gu Yunxi asked again.

Mo San recalled and replied, "I heard Zhang Zhuangtou mention it. It seems that the other wells are the same. The water is less, but it is still there."

Gu Yunxi stopped talking, his face tense and a little worried.

When they arrived at the farm, Zhang the village head hurried over and told Gu Yunxi about what happened at the farm. Gu Yunxi's face became even more tense.

"Madam, the water in both the well and Green Creek is running low. The water level in Green Creek has dropped significantly, but the water level in the well has not dropped much. However, something doesn't feel right. This has never happened before."

"Young Madam, could it really be that the world is going to have a severe...drought?"

Zhang Zhuangtou has been dealing with fields for half his life and has only experienced drought when he was a child. That year, he almost died due to lack of water and food.

The memories of that year were like a nightmare to him!

Now, he is the person who least wants a drought to occur, but if it really occurs, it seems that there is nothing he can do.

As they were talking, they had already walked to the edge of the Green Creek. Seeing that the water level of the Green Creek was lower than before, Gu Yunxi's face was full of worry.

"Zhangzhuangtou, maybe there will really be a drought." Gu Yunxi said woodenly.

"But don't worry. It's already May, and our winter wheat is about to mature. The water in Green Creek should be enough to last until the wheat is harvested."

After the wheat is harvested, at least there is food on the farm and there is no need to worry about starving because of not being able to buy food. However, we need to think about how to solve the water problem in advance.

Zhang Zhuangtou looked at the wheat fields that had begun to turn yellow and nodded. The winter wheat was indeed about to mature, with only ten to twenty days left before the end of the month.

The water in Green Creek should be able to hold on until then, but after that...what if Green Creek dries up?

The fields can only be left idle and nothing else can be grown?

Zhang Zhuangtou looked at Gu Yunxi helplessly, feeling a little uneasy. If there were no paddy fields to grow crops, wouldn't all the people on the village become useless?

Would the young lady let them stay? After all, if there was a real drought, the farm would also be short of water. One more mouth to feed would mean one more sip of water and one more bite of food.

Gu Yunxi glanced at Zhang Zhuangtou and said calmly, "Zhang Zhuangtou, don't think too much. Even if there is a drought in the future, I will not do anything to you."

"You just have to work hard and behave yourself, and this farm will support you until you grow old."

"But I will not tolerate those who are sneaky and cunning. You should also explain this clearly to others so that everyone knows the situation."

If a severe drought really were to occur, everyone would surely be nervous and uneasy, and would inevitably discuss it privately and feel panicky.

Gu Yunxi asked Zhang Zhuangtou to explain everything to the people in the village in advance, so as to calm people's hearts and prevent them from panicking and worrying.

Zhang Zhuangtou nodded and felt much more at ease. He inexplicably trusted this young lady. She was a good person and he thought she would not ignore them.

The few people left Green Creek and went to see several wells on the farm. After returning, Gu Yunxi instructed Zhang Zhuangtou to start saving water on the farm from that day on.

The fields planted with winter wheat are maintained as before, waiting to be harvested when the wheat is fully mature.

Zhang Zhuangtou hurriedly made arrangements. Some people cleaned up the granary on the village, some were sharpening sickles, and some were building a threshing floor.

Everything was ready, and half a month later, Green Creek Farm officially began harvesting wheat.

Almost all the people from Qingshan Farm were called over by Mo San to help harvest the wheat.

For a moment, the entire Green Creek Farm was very lively. Gu Yunxi even specifically instructed Mo San to go to the restaurant and order some good wine and food so that the workers could eat and drink their fill.

Every time they ate meat and drank wine, they felt tired but very happy. Some people even secretly hoped that the wheat harvest would come a little later so that they could eat and drink well every time!

It took seven whole days to harvest all the wheat on the farm and pull it to the threshing floor to dry. When it was dry enough, the oxen on the farm were used to pull the stone roller to crush the wheat to separate the straw and the wheat grains.

The final dusting of wheat grains was also done by Zhang Zhuangtou and the farmers. The farmer was not confident in letting the farmers do it alone, so he would do it himself every year.

After finishing all these, Zhang Zhuangtou came to the Lu family to report.
