Chapter 238 Drought aggravates 1
"The owner is back, I just happen to have something to tell you." Sun Hongliang saw Zhou Ying come in and hurriedly walked out of the counter.
"Then go to the back." Zhou Ying nodded and walked back with him.
After sitting in the main room, he poured himself a glass of water and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"When I was lifting water just now, I found that the water level in the well has dropped again."
Zhou Ying's hand holding the cup froze immediately after hearing this, and then asked, "How much did it drop this time?"
"It's about half a meter. It's also because the water consumption has been too high recently. Every day, there are about twenty buckets of water in the porridge shed."
"The main reason is that it hasn't rained for too long, and the groundwater level has dropped." Zhou Ying sighed.
After there was a snowfall, I thought it would be better, but now it seems to be worse than last year, and I don’t know that the spring wheat will not be able to reach maturity.
"Then now..."
Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and said: "Then we can't stop at the porridge shed, otherwise the refugees will not demolish our restaurant, so let's save as much as possible.
As for later….
Now everyone's situation is similar, there will always be someone who can't stand it before us, there is no need to make such a head. "
said this, paused and asked, "By the way, how much grain is there in the warehouse?"
"The rice is about 2,000 catties, and the black noodles are less than 5,000 catties."
"Add some oil and water to the porridge shed, such as butter and mutton stored in the ice cellar, you can put it in, and put more dry vegetables of various kinds to save as much food as possible.
The situation is not optimistic this year, we have to make plans early. "
"Understood, then you rest." Sun Hongliang answered and got up and walked forward.
Zhou Ying couldn't sit still after drinking a glass of water. She immediately walked to the well and tied a clean stone with a rope to measure the water depth.
I didn’t expect that the water depth was less than two meters.
Their well is a well-known deep well in the town. If the water in this well is almost bottoming out, what about the other wells?
Then he directly carried the stone out of the restaurant, and wanted to find a public well for testing, but only after arriving did he find that there was no need for testing at all.
On the edge of the well, there are long queues of water fetchers.
Just by inquiring, I know that the water in this well has bottomed out, and it would be good if they can wait for one or two buckets of water here every day.
Zhou Ying then found two more wells, and the general situation was similar.
"Manager Zhou, what are you doing on the street with a rock?"
Zhou Ying looked around, and saw that the shopkeeper Qian was driving a carriage, pulling a cart of things and parked beside him, followed by a carriage and carriage.
then walked over and said, "Uncle Qian, don't you want to escape?"
"Really, this drought is getting worse and worse, and business is getting worse and worse.
Coupled with the influx of large numbers of refugees now, the draft has become a problem, so we thought of relying on my wife and sister in the south. "The shopkeeper Qian asked here: "What about you guys, what are your plans, do you want to go together?" "
"What about our big family, there are still crops in the fields, we can't move them if we move them, let's talk about them after the summer is harvested."
"That's right, then we're leaving now, we'll have an appointment later."
"I wish you all a smooth journey." Zhou Ying waved.
After they left, Zhou Ying didn't bother to check any more and went back to the restaurant directly.
On the other side, Gu Chengrui drove the carriage all the way to the county office, found Master Kong, and told him about the situation of the three people: "I'm sorry, Master Kong, because I'm afraid that my sister's affairs will affect you."
