Chapter 39: Harvesting Sweet Potatoes
The most important point is that points can be exchanged for things.
However, you need to accumulate 100 million points to open the redemption mall.
10 points are not far away, so are 100 million points still far away?
Far, but not too far.
Once she was able to sign in on the map, it was simply a matter of time.
Yuanman was lying on the bed, and suddenly he couldn't fall asleep.
She looked sideways at Yuanbao beside her and whispered, "Yuanbao, your mother is about to become the richest person in the entire continent. Are you happy?"
"I'd better hand over half of the grain and wheat seeds I got from signing in to the prince. Otherwise, it would be tiring for me to distribute them everywhere."
It was almost the end of the Chou hour when Yuanman gradually fell asleep.
But her biological clock didn't allow her to sleep long, and she woke up automatically at noon.
As soon as she woke up, Yuanbao woke up too, and looked at her with his eyes open and blinking.
"Oh, my Yuanbao is awake too. Get up. Mom will take you to harvest sweet potatoes and potatoes." Yuanman got up holding Yuanbao.
"Madam, we're coming in." Hongxiu's voice sounded outside the door.
"Okay, get up." As Yuan Man's voice fell, Hongxiutianxiang pushed the door and walked in.
"Madam, the young masters and young ladies are waiting in the yard. They are very enthusiastic." Tianxiang put down the water and said with a smile.
"That's right. It's a rare opportunity for them to go out, so they are naturally enthusiastic." Yuanman handed the Yuanbao to Hongxiu and went to wash up.
She never likes to be served when she washes or brushes her teeth; she just doesn't have that habit.
After Yuan Man washed up and changed her clothes, she came out and saw six children sitting quietly in the yard waiting for her. She smiled and asked, "Have you all had breakfast?"
"We ate it." Several children responded.
Xiaoyaer ran over, grabbed her clothes, looked up and said, "Sister, eat breakfast quickly, then we will go play."
"Okay, Xiaoyaer, stay with your brothers and sisters and wait for your sister for a while." Yuanman sat down and started to eat breakfast.
Yuanbao has been taken to the wet nurse by Hongxiu.
After Yuanman finished her breakfast, Grandma Liu came over holding Yuanbao, and Hongxiu followed behind her.
Yuan Man took Yuan Bao and said, "Okay, let's go to the village to play."
Butler Li arranged two carriages. Hongxiu did not go, but Tianxiang, Qingzhu and the wet nurse went with her, as well as Butler Li's two grandchildren.
As soon as the carriage left Mingzhou City, the Gu family received the news.
Mrs. Gu immediately sent someone to call Gu Cheng and tell him that Shu Li was back.
So, as soon as Yuan Man and his companions arrived at the farm, Gu Chen rushed over, but he did not approach them immediately.
Yuan Man naturally pretended not to see it and walked towards the farm with the children.
Manager Li knew that the boss had arrived and hurried over to greet him.
Yuan Man looked at the sweet potato fields and said with a smile, "Manager Li, arrange to harvest the sweet potatoes. Remember, be careful when digging and try not to break the sweet potatoes."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Manager Li immediately bowed and went to arrange for the farmers to start working.
Gu Cheng saw that she had finished giving instructions, so he came over and said, "Madam, long time no see. Can you sell some of these sweet potatoes to our Gu family?"
Yuan Man glanced at him and said, "I can sell you 200 kilograms at most. Besides, the Luo family and the Zheng family both need it, so 200 kilograms is the limit."
"You know, one hundred kilograms of sweet potato seeds can be used to grow such a large field, so two hundred kilograms is not a small amount."
Seeing that she insisted, Gu Cheng did not force her, "Okay, how much do you sell these sweet potatoes for?"
Yuan Man thought for a moment and said, "I'm the only one that has sweet potatoes now, so they're naturally not cheap."
"Of course, I won't go too far. Just 500 coins per pound."
Gu Cheng: “…”
Is this excessive or not?
She was stuck right in the middle, five hundred coins, neither more nor less.
It is expensive, right? Compared with the current grain prices, it is that much more expensive. But compared with other grain varieties, it is cheap.
Finally, an idea popped into Gu Cheng’s mind. It turned out that he was a businessman and was good at calculating.
He had to buy the sweet potatoes anyway, so he nodded and said, "Okay, five hundred coins a pound, one hundred taels of silver, I'll have someone deliver it to your house later."
Yuan Man nodded, and when he saw the people arranged by Manager Li started digging, he shouted, "Jinnan, take your brothers and sisters to help pick sweet potatoes."
“Be careful not to get close to the uncles and aunts digging sweet potatoes, so as not to get hurt by them.”
"Okay." Jinnan took a few children to help.
Yan Bei, who was over three years old, also followed them unsteadily.
Manager Li came over and asked, "Boss, do you want to pick those tender tips?"
Yuan Man looked at the sweet potato vines in the field. The tender tips were still tender and edible, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead, let the children pick them. Just pick the tender tips, and you can take care of the rest."
After Manager Li left, Yuanman gave Yuanbao to Granny Liu and walked towards the nearby mountains.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng asked, "Where are you going?"
"Get some firewood and roast the sweet potatoes." Yuanman waved his hand and walked into the mountains.
Gu Cheng glanced at the sweet potato field and finally didn't follow.
After Yuanman entered the mountains, he asked Yuanyi and the others to see if there was any game to catch.
She asked Butler Li to prepare the seasonings, and she was planning to have grilled game for lunch today.
Yuanman found a dead tree, dragged the tree away, chopped it up and burned it in the field.
When the children saw Yuanman dragging a tree back, they exclaimed in surprise, but did not run over to watch. After watching, they continued to help pick sweet potatoes and pick the young tips.
Manager Li was not involved in digging sweet potatoes. He had been patrolling the fields. When he saw his boss dragging such a big tree back, he immediately came over and asked if he needed help.
Yuan Man then asked him to find an axe so that she could chop the tree into firewood.
Before she could make a move, Gu Cheng took the axe and said, "How can I let you do the work of chopping wood? Let me do it."
Yuanman was naturally happy to have someone help him chop wood.
She picked out some small sweet potatoes and planned to roast them later.
Half an hour later, Yuan Si came back with a wild boar.
This time the children couldn't hold on any longer and ran over to watch the fun.
The farmers wanted to do so, but were scolded by Manager Li.
Yuanman looked at the wild boar. It was very big but very thin, weighing probably over 200 kilograms.
"Manager Li, are there any farmers who can kill pigs?"
Manager Li immediately called over the person who knew how to butcher a pig.
The man was different from the pig butcher that Yuanman had in mind. He was a thin and small man.
He glanced at the wild boar and went back to get his tools.
Seeing that the children were not leaving, Yuan Man said with a smile, "Go back and help. After we kill the wild boar, each family can take some back for a snack."
"Okay, thank you, boss." After hearing this, the farmers' children immediately dispersed.
Jinnan watched for a while, then took his younger brother and sister to pick sweet potatoes.
The butcher came back with his tools, and Yuan Si came back with one or two pheasants and a roe deer.
Seeing him put it down and was about to leave again, Yuan Man immediately said, "We don't need it anymore. You can eat it yourself if you get it. If you don't have any seasoning, come to me and get it."
Yuan Yi and Yuan Yue all followed them out, so of course she knew about it.
It is not appropriate for them all to appear in front of everyone, so they naturally got their own food.
Besides, she couldn't prepare barbecue for so many people by herself.
"Yes." Yuan Si agreed and fled away.
