Chapter 201 Idea
"I'll go check the fields when I get home. Now is the time for them to grow taller. Don't let them wilt in the sun."
If they all dry up, this year's harvest will be ruined.
"Yeah, if that doesn't work, we'll have to carry water to irrigate the fields."
We have been working on this for a long time. If it doesn't rain, all the corn we have planted will be destroyed.
Thinking that San Ya wanted to buy a jar, Boss Zhou went to the pharmacy to pick her up first.
Zhou Mingshu bought several jars, large and small, stacked together, and then left the town.
"Why are you guys so sad? Did someone go to the stall to cause trouble?"
Zhou Mingshu discovered it as soon as he met them, but he only had time to ask now.
"No, we are worried about the crops in the field. It's so hot and it hasn't rained yet. If it continues like this, the corn in the field won't be able to hold up."
So that's how it is. Zhou Mingshu doesn't have a good way to improve the weather conditions.
"What should we do? Should we go home and water the fields?" Dig a canal...
"No hurry, let's wait and see, the villagers haven't taken any action yet."
"Yeah, let's see. If it doesn't work, let's go and water it first."
We can't just wait for the crops to be roasted to death by the sun? !
"Auntie, mother, it must be very hot for you to set up a stall on the street, why don't you build a tent or open an umbrella."
Zhou Mingshu suggested that in such hot weather, standing in the sun all the time would be very hot, and it would be bad if one got heat stroke. Moreover, the jelly and braised meat would also deteriorate in such high temperatures.
"It's hot, but the market is too crowded. There's no place to set up a tent. It's impossible to use an umbrella. Where can I find an umbrella that big? A small umbrella can't block out much of the sun."
When Zhu told Zhou Mingshu about these things, he understood what they were worried about.
"It's okay. If you don't mind, we can change the stall. Otherwise, we can go to the carpenter's shop and order an oversized umbrella that can block the sun and the rain. If it rains, we won't be caught off guard."
It’s not that the method San Ya mentioned is impossible, but she is just afraid that the diners will not be able to find their stall for a while.
Besides, they had never seen such a big umbrella, so they preferred the first method.
"That's not a big deal. We can put up a big sign and have Uncle shout around on the street. We won't have to worry about not being able to sell out. And if we set up a stall, maybe business will get even better."
Who wants to stand in the sun in such hot weather?
"Okay, let's get ready and try to build a shed. It's so hot, if it continues like this, I'll melt."
Liu pulled at the clothes that were sticking to her back to let the wind in.
It's been unbearably hot these days.
Lunch was ready at home, and after dinner Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan rode the donkey to the slaughterhouse.
Thinking about setting up the shed tomorrow, the two sisters-in-law found a piece of oilcloth from the woodshed, washed it and hung it up to dry.
He also picked up a few bamboo poles to use as carrying poles.
"Stop making such a fuss and go to bed. You've been exhausted after a long day."
Old Mrs. Zhou poured a basin of dirty water on the dung pile. It was very hot at that time. She just wiped her body and the sweat came out again.
"Okay, we'll clean it up right away."
They didn't need to do any housework, so Liu and Zhu washed up and went back to their room to rest.
The room is still relatively cool.
After Zhou Mingshu washed the jars, he returned to the room and is now sleeping soundly with his quilt in his arms.
She planned to start brewing beer as soon as she woke up.
After Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan came back from buying meat, they started roasting pig hair.
The two men gathered around the fire and roasted the raw meat they had bought over and over again, which made them very hot.
"Brother, this weather! I think it's going to rain. The temperature is abnormal. It feels much hotter than yesterday and a bit stuffy."
"Shut up your crow mouth now. I'm afraid the rain won't come again because of what you said."
"Hahaha, that won't do. You have to do it now."
After collecting these things, put them into a large basin to soak in blood water.
It was so hot and there were few people in the fields or in the village. Even the dogs were lying in the shade with their tongues hanging out to keep cool.
Zhou Mingshu turned over and was soon awakened by the heat.
"Phew, what kind of weather is this?! I'm really impressed."
She scratched her head and sat up, folding up her pillow and leaning against the headboard.
He just conjured up a popsicle and started eating it.
After finishing the popsicle, she brought a porcelain jar and placed it under the window, then put a piece of ice in it. This way, the temperature in the room would drop a little.
I looked at the time. It was just past two o'clock. Even if I was eager to brew beer, it was impossible for me to go out at this time.
The sun outside is so strong that it can really make your skin bald!
She didn't want to go out, so she just stayed in the house.
After feeding the little fish, she discovered that the water lily had buds and would bloom in a few days. That was great.
When the sunlight became weaker, Zhou Mingshu went to the barn and took out some wheat.
These wheats have been washed clean before and can be used directly now.
After moving the small stone mill into the house, Zhou Mingshu began to grind malt.
Just grinding the malt takes a long time, so she is not in a hurry and just does it bit by bit.
It is impossible to brew beer in one day. After everything is done, it still needs to ferment for a long time.
When the weather outside is not so hot, family members come out one after another to start working.
Old Mrs. Zhou brought in a large bundle of grass from the fields outside and threw it into the little donkey's trough.
It's been hot these past two days, so let it stay in the donkey shed to cool off.
Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan are moving the manure pile at home.
Now the cart at home is free, which is perfect for them to use.
Zhou Mingqi washed his face and went to Zhou Ming's study with a frown.
"Saya, what are you doing? Are you grinding flour?"
"No, I'm grinding malt, not the fine kind, to make some ale. What's wrong with you? You look so droopy."
"It's not that the weather is lively, I feel like I'm sleepy."
"Then sit here and rest for a while. You can help me when I get tired."
"it is good."
When I woke up, I felt sore all over and had no strength, and I didn’t know if I could turn the millstone.
"But I feel that your room is quite cool. Maybe it's because the direction of the room is different."
"I don't know, but I put some cool water under the window so the wind blowing in will be fresher."
Zhou Mingshu looked at the porcelain jar and found that the ice inside had melted.
"I've learned that. I'll put a basin of water under the window tonight and try it out."
With a good way to relieve heat, Zhou Mingqi became a little more energetic. He reached out to grab her millstone and helped her turn it.
"Then help me turn it, don't grind it too finely, I just need to go to the toilet."
After Zhou Mingshu came back, he washed his hands and face. The water in the basin was hot and did not have any cooling effect at all.
No wonder everyone looked so listless. If she hadn't eaten ice cream just now, she might have been in the same state.
