Speaking of this matter, it is also a headache.

"Your eldest brother and I have basically walked through all the mountains around here, big and small. There are no big caves, but there are more than a dozen small ones. If we just want to store food, it's still barely enough."

“But if we need to store food and then have people live there, we haven’t found a suitable one.”

Ye Guo was deeply moved. This would require modern infrastructure conditions and there would be no need to be so entangled.

It’s just finding a few caves, moving mountains and filling the sea. It’s all easy. As long as the project is approved, it won’t be a problem at all.

But the reality is, if you dig deep into the mountain with a hoe, you'll find it's all rocks, so there's no need to think too much.

"Then hide separately. Why worry about the people living there? As long as there is an endless supply of food, there is no place that can't be made do?"

"There are so many trees in the mountains. If things really go wrong, we can stay on the trees for a few nights. Cut some wood and build a wooden house. There are so many people in Yejia Village, at least the elderly and children, so we should protect them first."

Ye Lao Er thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. With winter approaching, it was time to go, time was tight, and the task was heavy. There was no time for him to hesitate.

"If there is enough time, you and my brother can take a few trustworthy people with you. Find a secluded spot in the mountains where there are many connections and dig a few holes."

"The only downside to the cave is that the food is easily affected by moisture. But we won't be storing it for several years at a time, so don't skimp on the moisture-proof cloth. It should be fine."

This coincided with Ye Laoer's idea. Ye Laoer had a good sense of direction, so he went back to the house and took a piece of paper, and began to tell Ye Guo about which place could be used to store grain, what the advantages and disadvantages were.

After listening for a long time, my brain was confused. In the end, the table saved everything.

After a rough calculation, it was clear that there was no problem in loading the autumn grain. The two also made a preliminary decision on the weight that should be stored based on the distance between the different places.

After discussing this matter, Ye Lao Er still couldn't help but ask his younger sister, "When is he going to return to the imperial city? I have stopped the Wang family many times. The question now is, your second sister-in-law wants to see him, do you think it's okay?"

Ye Guo, "No problem, I'll go with him tomorrow."

"Really? Don't you need to ask him in advance? What is his identity?"

Ye Guo waved his hand without thinking, "No, no, I don't have any plans for tomorrow. Find some time to go there, there's plenty of time."

"Okay then. I'll stay in the county tonight and wait for you to come tomorrow."

When Ye Laoer left, in addition to the various food and drinks prepared for his second sister-in-law at home, he also brought two sacks of fresh chili peppers to Zuixianlou.

Although I have warned myself countless times, every time I see Xu Changqing and think of his true identity, it still doesn't feel real.

Ye Lao Er had already thanked him for saving his life and gave him a fist-sized piece of uncut jade.

Although the gift was not particularly expensive, it was the best he had at the moment.

This is not the key point. The key point is that Xu Changqing is really humble to his family members. Not only is he humble, but he also responds to their requests.

To be honest, he really didn't believe that his younger sister could make decisions for him, as she was his own sister. There was nothing going on between them.

But if I wanted to ask, I couldn't.

As long as that layer of window paper has not been completely broken, he will pretend to know nothing.

Early the next morning, Ye Guo went to find Xu Changqing on his own initiative without waiting for him to come.

His residence in Yejia Village was also a separate small courtyard. It was a guest house proposed by Ye Guo when the whole village was newly built.

The structure inside was exactly the same as the one Ye Guo was living in now. Even the house he was living in now was in the same location as Ye Guo's.

In late autumn, Ye Guo had already put on his outer coat and a pink double-breasted shirt.

On her feet were a pair of handmade deerskin boots.

"Good morning, Grand Minister. How are you guys packing your luggage?"

This was not the first time that she ran into Xu Jiahe in the yard, who had come to report on work earlier than her.

Ye Guo greeted him familiarly and handed him the basket containing breakfast.

"Master Xu, eat it while it's hot. Xiaowan made it herself. I'm sure it suits your taste."

"Grand Minister, have you eaten it? I prepared enough for three people."

Even if he had a hundred guts, Xu Jiahe couldn't do what Ye Guo did and eat at the same table with the imperial teacher.

"No, no, Hinata must have left some for me, it would be a waste if I don't eat it."

"I've finished what I want to say. You guys are busy. I'll leave first."

After saying this, he left without waiting for Ye Guo to speak again.

"How come he's still so scared of you when we meet every day?"

Ye Guo had originally planned to come and have breakfast with him, but she just put down the basket, and Xu Changqing was responsible for the rest of the work, including setting the table, taking the bowls and chopsticks.

Ye Guo had become accustomed to this kind of relationship between an old couple. Seeing that he forgot to take the chili sauce at the bottom, she reminded him.

"You should ask him this question."

Ye Guo snorted and laughed, "I told you to smile more often, but you still don't believe it."

Xu Changqing just listened to this and didn't take it to heart.

"You came a quarter of an hour earlier than usual today. Is there something you need me for?"

"You underestimate yourself when you say that."

Having said that, Xu Changqing didn't see any embarrassment on her face.

"My second brother let the cat out of the bag, so I have to trouble you to accompany me to the county town today."

"And I remember you said that the clothes you brought were not enough, so it's a good opportunity to buy some more."

"Although you are in good health, you can't be too hard on yourself when you can dress warmly, right?"

During the days that Xu Changqing lived in the village, she only had a few sets of clothes.

I couldn't help but nod my head. "I heard that in Yongzhou Prefecture, when it snows heavily in winter, the snow is knee-deep."

"You are not feeling well, so you should prepare your clothes in advance."

Xu Changqing could actually pay attention to such details. A strange feeling flashed through Ye Guo's heart.

But when she looked up, he was still the same as usual, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was just stating a trivial matter.

Ye Guo suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said, "You have also checked my pulse. My body is just a little weak, not really unhealthy."

"Don't worry, I won't even go out when it's cold."

Xu Changqing did not doubt the truth of her words. She was already wearing three pieces of clothing, but he was still wearing summer clothes.

But I was still a little worried. "When will your shipload of herbs arrive? I'll make you some warming pills."
