"My boss is back, I just have something to tell you." Sun Hongliang saw Zhou Ying coming in and hurried out of the counter and said.

"Then go to the back." Zhou Ying nodded and led him to the back.

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 the water just now, I found that the water level in the well had dropped again."

After hearing this, Zhou Ying's hand holding the cup froze immediately, and then asked, "How much has it dropped this time?"

"It's about half a meter, and the water consumption is too large recently. There are about 20 buckets of water in the porridge shed every day."

"The main reason is that it hasn't rained for too long, and the groundwater level has dropped." Zhou Ying sighed.

There was a snowfall in the next year, and 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 can't reach maturity yet.

"Then now..."

Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and said: "Then we can't stop at the porridge shed, otherwise the refugees won't demolish our restaurant, so let's save it as much as possible.

As for the future...

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. "

Having said that, he paused and asked, "By the way, how much food is there in the warehouse?"

"The rice is about two thousand catties, and the black flour is less than five thousand catties."

"Let the porridge shed add more oil and water, such as butter and mutton stored in the ice cellar, and put more dried vegetables to save as much food as possible.

The situation this year is not optimistic, we have to make plans early. "

"Understood, then you rest." Sun Hongliang responded and got up and walked forward.

Zhou Ying couldn't sit still after drinking a glass of water, and immediately walked to the well, and tied a clean stone with a rope to measure the water depth.

Unexpectedly, 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 about to bottom out, what about the other wells.

Then he went out of the restaurant with the stone in his hand, trying to find a public well to test, but after arriving, he found that there was no need to test at all.

On the edge of the well, there is a long line of water fetchers.

As soon as they inquired, they knew that the water in the well had bottomed out, and it would be nice for them to wait here for one or two buckets of water every day.

Then Zhou Ying found two more wells, and the general conditions were similar.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, why are you walking around the street with a stone in your hand?"

Zhou Ying looked around, and saw that it was Shopkeeper Qian driving a carriage with a load of things parked beside it, followed by a carriage.

Then he walked over and said, "Uncle Qian, you don't mean to escape the famine, do you?"

"It's true, the drought is getting worse and worse, and business is getting harder and harder.

Coupled with the influx of a large number of refugees, draft has become a problem, so we thought of going to the south to seek refuge with my wife and sister. "Treasurer Qian asked at this point: "What about you, what are your plans? Do you want to go together?" "

"As for our big family, there are still crops in the field, so we can't move it just by talking about it. Let's talk about it after the summer harvest."

"That's right, then let's go now, we will meet later."

"I wish you all the best." 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 end, Gu Chengrui drove the carriage all the way to the county government office, found Mr. Kong, and told him the situation of the three people: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kong, because the matter of my sister may have troubled you."
