“Madam, what should we do next? We haven’t been able to send the grain out these past few times, and we’ve lost quite a bit. These losses add up to a lot,” Aunt Wang said first, her voice filled with deep concern.

Su Li wasn't surprised to hear the purpose of Aunt Wang and the others' visit. She said, "Don't worry, ladies. We're already working on a solution, and this situation shouldn't last too long."

Hearing Su Li's words, Aunt Wang and the others felt somewhat relieved, but they still couldn't help but ask, "So, do we still need to prepare food and fodder as usual?"

Upon hearing this, Su Li nodded and said, "Prepare as usual. There shouldn't be any more accidents this time."

These words reassured Aunt Wang and the others. They visibly relaxed and said, "It's good that it won't happen again. The food losses have been quite significant these days, and everyone is heartbroken."

Su Li naturally understood what Aunt Wang and the others were saying, but since the matter had already happened, she could only try her best to mitigate the losses.

"Madam, based on the amount of grain being transported to Lingnan so far, should we prepare more next time?" Aunt Liu asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Su Li remained silent for a moment before saying, "Let's prepare for the next few months and make as many preparations as possible. Things should stabilize in the future."

Although Aunt Liu and the others knew a little about the situation in Lingnan, the prolonged food depletion still worried them. Knowing that the prepared food would not be increased, they all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps fearing that Su Li might misunderstand, Aunt Wang and the others quickly explained, "Madam, please don't misunderstand. We didn't have any other intentions. We were just thinking that winter is coming soon, and we need to start stockpiling grain in the warehouse. We were worried that our preparations might not be adequate."

When the topic of winter food storage came up, Su Li asked, "How are the preparations going?"

In winter, grain production is not as high as in previous years, but grain consumption remains unchanged. Therefore, under normal circumstances, granaries begin to stockpile grain from the start of spring planting.

Since the food supply for the entire city was at stake, Su Li dared not be careless, so she inquired, "What is the current situation with the grain reserves? Are there any problems?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang and the others quickly replied, "Everything is ready. We prepared early as in previous years. However, we are worried that the amount of grain needed in Lingnan may increase, so we wanted to ask about the situation."

After listening to Aunt Wang and the others' explanation, Su Li said, "It won't keep growing; it will be brought under control. You don't need to worry. Just focus on doing your current tasks well."

Aunt Wang and the others naturally understood what she meant, and nodded hurriedly to show that they knew.

The development of the grain base has gradually gotten on track. Su Li no longer manages it much, but she still knows the general progress. However, she still needs to confirm the final result.

When it came to serious matters, Aunt Wang and the others became serious and answered carefully: "It's all ready. The grain depots in the base are already full of grain, and we're considering whether to build some more."

Su Li had heard about the expansion of the grain depot before, and when she heard this, she said, "If you think it's necessary, then build it. Grain always needs a place to be stored, and it would be good to have more grain depots to store grain."

Aunt Wang and the others had been waiting for these words. The matter that had been troubling them for several days was finally resolved, and they happily agreed.
