I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You are right to be concerned, but Princess Huai'an said that she will make up for the losses in the Thanksgiving account, so our restaurant will not lose money. Moreover, since the princess invested in the Thanksgiving account book, the restaurant's business has soared."

Meng Qingyu paid the silver, and he was touched. He knew Qiao Linxi came from a poor and remote place. He also heard some rumors that her parents took them to escape from the famine, but died on the road. It was she who brought more than a dozen brothers and sisters alive.

She is someone who has experienced suffering and is someone who truly understands suffering.

"Grandstanding!"

Qiao Wan'er looked at the plaque with disdain, thinking that Qiao Linxi was stupid. Wouldn't it be better if she had the money to buy jewelry herself? She actually bought food for those poor people. What benefits could the poor people bring to her?

"Don't talk nonsense. Princess has the world in her heart." Xu Yanzhou scolded Qiao Wan'er.

"Princess?" The shopkeeper was stunned.

"Well, Princess Huai'an was promoted to Princess Dingguo." Meng Qingyu explained.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's great! The princess really cares about the people."

"Cousin Yu, let's go."

Mu Qing tugged at Meng Qingyu's sleeve, then looked at Meng Qingyu and said, "Cousin Yu is really a thief. He brought us to the princess's restaurant for dinner, and he didn't want to spend a penny."

Meng Qingyu was granted marriage to Qiao Linxi, but this was only circulated in official circles, and the public did not know about it. It was because Fuxi Restaurant had cooperated with Qiao Linxi before, otherwise they would not know who Princess Huaian was.

The restaurant was bustling with people, and Mu Qing's "cousin" attracted many people's attention. Seeing the four talented men and beautiful women, they couldn't help but whisper about it.

"Isn't that the son of the Meng family? I heard from my great aunt's daughter's cousin that the son of the Meng family was tricked into marrying Princess Dingguo at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet... and was granted marriage to Princess Dingguo. Now he is the future consort."

"The couple next to them seem to be the young master of the Xu family and the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. They are really a perfect match, cousins ​​and husband and wife. They will definitely live happily together in the future."

"That's Marquis Ding'an's legitimate daughter, Miss Mu. She and Master Meng are cousins, but I feel something is wrong between them. You see, Master Xu and Miss Qiao have similar facial features. If you don't tell them, outsiders would think they are siblings."

"Don't dare to talk nonsense. He is the Marquis of Jian'an. Are you afraid that the Marquis of Jian'an will crush you to pieces with just a flick of his finger?"

"But I think they are like siblings. Look at Mr. Meng and Miss Mu, the relationship between these cousins ​​seems much more normal."

The discussions of the people around were buried in the laughter. Meng Qingyu and the others didn't hear it, but he still looked back at those people and nodded casually.

After the four people left, the discussion became louder and louder, and spread further and further. However, everyone just speculated that Qiao Wan'er and Xu Yanzhou might be siblings, otherwise they couldn't be so similar.

After swimming in the lake, they separated. Meng Qingyu went to the edge of the Cuiyu Lake and picked a few branches of beautiful osmanthus flowers and returned to the princess's mansion.

Princess Mansion...

Qiao Linxi was sitting in his bedroom with a sad face.

Because the system suddenly reminded her to collect more supplies, but the system did not tell her the reason.

Qiao Linxi guessed that there might be a war with East Vietnam, or that extreme weather was coming.

"Is the princess asleep?"

Meng Qingyu came back a little late. They came back after dinner, so it was dark now.

"No, come in."

Meng Qingyu pushed the door open and went in, but didn't see any maid. He knew that Qiao Linxi didn't like maids to serve her and always sent them away.

Meng Qingyu found a vase, filled it with water, and put the osmanthus flowers in it.

The unique fragrance brought Qiao Linxi back to her senses. She looked at Meng Qingyu who was fiddling with the osmanthus flowers and asked, "Where did you get the osmanthus flowers?"

"It was broken from the Jade Lake."

Meng Qingyu put the flowers in place and took the initiative to come to the table and pour Qiao Linxi a cup of tea: "What are you thinking about? You look so sad."

After spending a few days with Qiao Linxi, they became familiar with each other, and Meng Qingyu no longer had the respectful attitude he had in the beginning.

He knew that Qiao Linxi had a good temper and would not make things difficult for him.

"Thought of something."

Qiao Linxi really felt tired. If it was really extreme weather, it would be either hot or cold. But she was just one person, how could she prevent extreme weather from happening?

"I have completed what the princess asked me to do." Meng Qingyu wanted to ask Qiao Linxi if she really wanted to go back to the Meng Mansion with him tomorrow?

"Thank you for your hard work, that..." Qiao Linxi looked at the young Meng Qingyu and felt like a big bad wolf, with the tendency to pounce on him at any time.

After all, Qiao Linxi is actually in her thirties, a dozen years older than Meng Qingyu.

"Princess, you say."

Qiao Linxi thought for a moment and said, "Do you know who is in charge of money and grain?"

Since extreme weather is coming, we need to store food, and we need to make that food into dry food for easy storage. Whether it is extremely hot or extremely cold, fresh food cannot be preserved for a long time.

And even if Qiao Linxi had the Qiankun Ding, it would be impossible for her to store all the food of the Great Yue Kingdom in it, right? Even if she could, the Qiankun Ding was only for her to use. Could it be that when the weather was extreme, she would have to take care of everyone in the country?

"Money and grain belong to the Ministry of Revenue. Why are you asking this, Princess?"

"Nothing, I just want to discuss with the people who are in charge of grain some ways to store grain for a long time."

Qiao Linxi thought about it and realized that no matter whether it was extremely hot or extremely cold, they had to rely on stored food to survive. If he informed the Ministry of Households of the method of dehydrating fruits and vegetables and let the people in the Ministry of Households implement and promote it, wouldn’t it be better?

Under normal circumstances, rice can be stored for two to three years, and the taste will deteriorate and insects will grow on it. As for other fruits and vegetables, they can only be stored for about seven days.

"Why did you suddenly think of storing food? But... did the princess know something?"

Meng Qingyu was a little worried. It was only a matter of time before Dai Viet and Dong Vietnam went to war. If food could be stored in advance, it would provide an extra layer of protection.

"Let me ask you, if we encounter extreme weather conditions, such as drought, snow, or a heavy snowstorm, what countermeasures will the emperor take?"

Humans seem powerful, but they are actually very small. Especially in front of nature. Not to mention this era, even in her era, it was extremely difficult to face extreme weather. She had read some novels about the end of the world, such as zombies and ice age. It was really difficult for humans to resist such a situation.

"The emperor will open the granaries and ask the Ministry of Revenue to distribute food to the people, and do his best to help the people get through this difficult time."

Qiao Linxi asked, "What if the snowstorm lasts for several years?"

Meng Qingyu was stunned: "Then... can anyone survive?"
