Chapter 16 The Secret Vault

There is another cellar, which is secret. The entrance is under the big box in Xiao Youran's house.

In Xiao Youran's memory, there are a lot of good things accumulated by her parents here, as well as a lot of food, which were grown by her father in the mountains.

Her father, Ye Dashan, hunts in the mountains all year round... Actually, hunting is part of it, and the other part is growing food.

After her grandparents died, the family fields were sold off and they were saddled with a large debt. When her father was desperate, he took over his grandfather's hunting career and secretly carved out wasteland for thirty years in a hidden valley deep in the mountains.

Many acres.

He goes into the mountains to hunt every day, but actually spends most of his time farming.

Because the land in the mountains is moist, grain grows well, and the harvest is good every year, and because there is no need to pay taxes on grain, Ye Dashan paid off his debts in just two or three years, and saved ten taels of silver to buy something in the village.

Two acres of land to farm.

The next year, Ye Dashan bought another acre of land and married a wife.

People in the village all thought that Ye Dashan earned money from hunting.

But in fact, most of them are earned from farming.

In previous years, when the harvest was good, Ye Dashan would secretly sell the grain he grew in small valleys in the mountains.

This year, the harvest was not good and the fields were dry. The villagers had to go to the river to water the fields to ensure a 70% harvest. The remaining grain after paying the tax was only enough to feed the family.

Those with little land can barely reach even a half-full house.

Every household is short of food.

Ye Dashan's family is not lacking.

The climate in the deep mountains and valleys is humid, and the thirty acres of grain planted by Ye Dashan were not affected by the drought at all, and they still had a bumper harvest.

However, this time he did not sell all the grain. Instead, he took advantage of the darkness to sneak back a small amount of corn and wheat and hid it in the cellar of Xiao Youran's house.

It was pitch dark in the cellar, Ye Youran lit a lamp, held it carefully, and climbed down.

The cellar is not big, it is square, only about sixteen square meters. There are six large vats next to the stairwell, each of which contains at least more than two hundred kilograms of grain.

A vat of corn crumbs, a vat of cornmeal, a vat of wheat flour, a vat of sorghum rice, a vat of millet, and a vat of dried sweet potatoes. There is no rice that Ye Youran likes to eat, but Ye Youran is not disappointed. These grains

Her father had worked so hard to sow it, and it was the basis for her survival. She couldn't thank her father enough, so how could she be disappointed.

Opposite the staircase, at the very end of the cellar, there is a large wooden shelf on the wall. The shelf is filled with various small boxes, small jars, and more than a dozen bundles of intact cloth.

Ye Youran hung the oil lamp on the wall, walked over and opened one and looked at it. It was slippery satin, which Xiao Youran had never worn before, but Ning Youran's maid wore medium-sized satin every day.

Satin.

Ye Youran touched the piece, and suddenly, she summoned the system master and asked, "Do you want to close this piece of silk? Although it is not the best, it is very comfortable to wear."

"Ding...this system does not accept useless things."

What's the meaning?

"This silk satin can be used to make clothes, so why is it not practical?"

"Ding, the material is not fireproof and waterproof, it cannot withstand the scratches of insects and animals, it is not durable, and it will not be harvested."

Fireproof and waterproof?

Where in the world is there any fireproof and waterproof material?
