All houses with courtyards transformed as much space as possible into more land for the purpose of growing vegetables and grains.
For those without courtyards, the bold ones brought soil into their homes to create a plot of land, using bricks to contain it within a specific area.
Even the corners of small paths had seeds being scattered by hopeful hands.
Now that they had seeds distributed by the Princess Consort, growing vegetables became much simpler.
Growing rice was too complicated and had a long maturity period, so it wasn't suitable for their situation, leading them to plant tuber crops instead.
They planted potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other seeds they had never seen before, but these had a high survival rate and short growth cycle.
Every household had some land to till.
These seeds were soaked in Spiritual Spring Water by Pei Shu'er, which naturally increased their vitality.
Moreover, there was barely enough water available now.
