After settling the first batch of refugee orphans, Wei Ruo busied herself again with potato farming.
The potatoes harvested from the previous batch as well as the rents returned by the villagers could be used as seeds for the next planting.
In this way, practically no potatoes were left in Wei Ruo's hands. The storehouse remained spotless and clean.
In addition to the big daily consumption of food due to the adoption of children and the hiring of workers to repair the road, the food they brought over had almost been exhausted.
Yun Zixiu worried that the remaining food would not be enough for them to starve before the autumn harvest.
Although the King Rui Residence had a lot of silver, in the current state of affairs, it was difficult to buy grains from the nearby Capital City or the southern regions. The road was fraught with dangers, either being looted by refugees or bandits. Even if it was successfully sent over, it would not arrive for a month.
