"Smack."

It's just that the slender fingers haven't touched the other party's face yet, but they have been grabbed by a hand.

The pain in his wrist let Cheng Yuan know that the place where he was held was most likely bruised.

Look at this little girl again, her face is still leaning on the table and sleeping soundly.

Continue to hold it for her, Cheng Yuan is afraid that her hand will be wasted.

Fortunately, the wrist struggled a few times, and when the hand pulled back, it broke away.

Looking at the red mark on her wrist and at the person who slept sweetly, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a capable person, the vigilance is so high when you fall asleep, it seems that this little face can't be pinched, you continue to sleep." ”

After saying that, she smiled, shook her head, and continued to drink.

She drank wine on her lips, looked at the sleeping person with her eyes, and sighed softly after looking at it for a while, "They are not as great as you imagined, Gao Zu is just Gao Zu after all, but not Tai Zu." As for the other one, I really can't understand her, it's a pity, it's a pity..."

After drinking wine for a while, the other party had not woken up, Cheng Yuan simply took the wine jug and turned around to count.

When she came to the bookcase, she took a piece of rice paper and drew with a pen.

But seeing that this person was drinking in his mouth and painting with his pen, he was so chic, and the comfort seemed to be even worse than the comfortable Mu Qingyun in Xue Langjing's eyes.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see that.

Before long, Xue Langjing's peaceful sleeping face jumped on the paper.

The painting is finished, the person holding the pen puts down the brush in his hand, sits down at will, closes his eyes and drinks, holds the wine jug in his left hand, rests his right hand on the bookcase, and the slender and white fingertips tap the table at will, making a 'da, dada' sound, as if he is closing his eyes and contemplating.

Time passed like water, and when Xue Langjing woke up, the candlelight was already lit in the study, and Mr. Cheng, who had been drinking with her before, was sitting peacefully reading a book.

Seeing her movements, the woman looked up and asked, "Awake?" ”

"Hmm."

Xue Langjing, who had just woken up, seemed to be a little sleepy-eyed, so he subconsciously responded, and then stood up straight and stretched his waist.

After maintaining the same posture for a long time, the body is a little sore, and you have to move.

"The kitchen has left your dinner, it's still warm, go eat."

The woman seemed to have regained her former gentleness.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for the trouble."

Eating at someone else's house, eating late, and letting the family stay for dinner, Xue Langjing was quite embarrassed.

"You're welcome, it's not that I missed dinner because I pulled you to drink, go quickly, this meal will affect your appetite if it's too warm for too long."

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, then I'll go first."

Xue Langjing arched his hand at her and left the study softly.

After dinner, it was already completely dark, and by the candlelight from the room around her, and the faint moonlight, she walked out for a while, and went back to her room early.

Since she had nothing to do, she would make a noise when she played a sword or forged her body, so she simply wrote, and she couldn't finish what she could write in her travelogue for a few days and nights.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, after breakfast and settling the wages with the academy, Xue Langjing left with everyone's warm farewell.

In addition to the money for food and lodging, she received a total of 370 yuan in salary.

Although her daily income is not less than half, she is comfortable living a small life, although she is now one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry.

Now she has saved 1,370 yuan, even if she doesn't go to work, it is enough for herself to eat and live for several days, and she is not short of money for the time being, so she is not in a hurry to work, but mainly rushes every day, and does it when she encounters things, and continues to walk if she can't meet them.

Leaving Xiakou Town, Xue Langjing's next destination is Haitang City, and he has to pass through Hualiang County on the way, if nothing else, he can reach it before dark.

Anyway, today is November 1st, she has been away from home for nearly a month, and the farm has passed, so the sweet potatoes at home should have been dug and planted.

However, after processing so many sweet potatoes, this is probably the beginning of a busy time.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of sweet potatoes have to be processed, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I am afraid that it will have to be carried out for a long time.

So, what happened to the Xue family's sweet potatoes?

Let's take a look at what's going on with the Xue family.

On October 20, all the employees came to Xue's house to report for duty.

There are about 80,000 laborers, but there are actually more than 100,000 people, so many people, even a dozen people from the Xue family and the students, they can't manage it at all.

Therefore, the hired workers are managed by the leaders of their own villages, and they contract sweet potato fields according to the labor that their villages can provide.

As for the long-term workers of the Xue family, they are also divided into batches and selected for management.

After the contract, it is to deal with how much silver is given for an acre of land, as long as they are diligent, they can finish it earlier, and the extra time can be used to do the next job and earn more money.

Compared with the daily settlement of wages, the enthusiasm of the people to work naturally increases greatly.

Not only do they usually work hard, but they also go out early and return late when they go to work, and at lunch time, they send people to bring the rice that belongs to their own village share and eat it directly in the field, so as to save some time.

The task of the Xue family and the trainees is, of course, to calculate labor, assign tasks, and liaise with the managers of these villages or long-term workers.

Just doing this, they are also busy every day, and almost all of them are spinning.

During this time, all activities in the Xue family's family were temporarily suspended until the sweet potato planting was completed.

Of course, this does not include Xue Yuhe.

Nearly 150,000 acres of sweet potatoes have to be processed into sweet potato noodles and other finished products before they can be handed over to the Zheng family.

After discussion, the Xue family built several large workshops early, and invited a large number of craftsmen and apprentices to work collectively to make a large number of sweet potato grinding bowls, sweet potato planers, fine sieves, wooden barrels, grain ladders, bamboo mats and other tools.

And this matter is, of course, the most suitable thing to let Xue Yuhe, who knows how to do handicrafts, take care of.

To make so many tools, the cost of materials and labor is another big expense.

It also led to the fact that during these days, don't look at the Xue family, everything is thriving, but in fact, there is basically no silver in the family, and they use as much as they earn, and they have saved a lot of debts.

They waited for the sweet potatoes to be sold and exchanged for silver to pay off their debts.

Xue Linjing roughly calculated, even if all the sweet potatoes this season were sold, the money she received would not be enough to pay off the debt.

Therefore, it is impossible for Xue Langjing to buy Yitian and Yixue in a short period of time, so Jiang Qianyue did not tell everyone her plans.

This is not the first time for many people to dig sweet potatoes and plant sweet potatoes.

Especially the people of Xinwen Town and the surrounding villages and towns, they have long been familiar with the process.

Therefore, although there are many people and many things, the whole project is carried out in an orderly manner and there are no major mistakes.
