Chapter 41: Placing the Hanging Palace
Chapter 41: Placing the Hanging Palace
Yuanman picked out the sweet potatoes buried in the charcoal fire and waited until they were cool enough before letting the children eat them.
Xiao Yaer looked at the black thing on the ground, blinked and asked: "Sister, this is a sweet potato, why is it all black?"
Yuan Man picked up a sweet potato, washed off the dust on the surface with water, and peeled the skin while saying, "Just peel the skin and eat the flesh like my sister did. Don't eat the mushy ones."
He took a bite of the sweet potato and said, "Mmm, it smells really good."
Several children couldn't hold on any longer, so Granny Liu held their hands as they were about to take the food and said, "Wait a minute, Granny will wash it for you before you eat it."
Yuan Man smiled and said, "It's okay, grandma. Let them wash and peel them themselves."
"living comfortably without anybody's help."
After hearing this, Grandma Liu said nothing more.
It is also good to help children develop the ability to do things by themselves.
After listening to this, Jinnan took the lead in washing the roasted sweet potatoes. If he saw any of his younger brothers and sisters who didn’t know how to do it, he would go up to them and teach them.
Gu Cheng picked one for himself, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and started peeling and eating it without even washing it.
“It’s fragrant, sweet and sticky.”
Little Yanbei was the first among the children to eat the sweet potato. After taking a bite, he exclaimed, "It's sweet. So sweet and delicious."
Yuanman didn’t let them eat too much sweet potato, just one for each person.
Just after they finished eating, the sound of gongs rang out and the farmers continued to dig sweet potatoes.
When it was time to finish work at Youshi, Yuanman asked Manager Li to arrange for someone to weigh the harvested sweet potatoes to see how many sweet potatoes had been harvested that day.
Then she pulled out two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes and gave them to Gu Cheng to take away. She didn't want to see him for the time being.
Manager Li asked the others to go back first and left four men to help weigh the sweet potatoes.
We harvested nearly twenty acres of land today. As long as we weigh the sweet potatoes, we can roughly calculate the total output of the one hundred acres of land.
While waiting for the sweet potatoes to be weighed, Yuanman re-roasted the roast chicken and roast roe deer left over from lunch and let the children eat them first.
Each person can have a baked sweet potato for dinner.
Gu Cheng tore off a roe deer leg and ate it while watching the sweet potatoes being weighed.
This attracted the attention of the farmers and Manager Li, and even Yuan Man couldn't help but look at him more.
Is this man really the eldest son of a noble family?
It would be fine if he followed them to eat barbecued wild game, but wasn't it a bit disrespectful of his image for him to pick up a roe deer leg and chew on it?
Gu Cheng seemed to know what they were thinking. He glanced at her and said, "I often go out and about. I've experienced being outdoors before. What's so strange about this?"
That’s right, Yuanman withdrew his gaze.
It was not until the end of the You hour that all the sweet potatoes were weighed, and the remaining 200 kilograms were packed in sacks.
Manager Li looked at the registration book in his hand, and couldn't close his grin.
"Boss, today we collected a total of 99,620 kilograms!"
It’s almost reached 100,000 kilograms!
Gu Cheng listened and snatched the notebook from his hand to read it. After a careful calculation, it was really 99,620 kilograms.
The surprise was beyond words. Growing such a high yield of grain was a life-saving medicine for Anguo, and they would soon be back on track.
Gu Cheng looked at Yuan Man and said, "With such a high production volume, can you sell me some more?"
Yuan Man shook his head, "No, I can't make the decision on anything else."
Gu Chen immediately thought of Leshan Hou Yuanman and asked, "When will he come back? I want to have a chat with Leshan Hou."
Yuan Man shook his head, "I don't know."
I thought to myself: I'm right here, how do I know when he will come back?
Gu Cheng frowned, thinking that he had to send a message to Hui Chengyuan quickly, so he took his two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes and left first.
Yuan Man looked at Manager Li and said, "Put these sweet potatoes in the warehouse of the other courtyard and spread them out on the ground. Don't put them in sacks, as they will spoil easily."
"Okay, boss."
Yuanman told him to continue harvesting sweet potatoes, and then potatoes, and she would not come tomorrow.
"If anyone comes to inquire about sweet potatoes and wants to buy them, they will be sold at 600 coins per pound, and each person is limited to buying 10 pounds."
"Also, I will ask Butler Li to take away 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes tomorrow. Once they are dug up, we will load 200 kilograms first."
"After you have collected everything, be sure to carefully calculate the total amount you have collected."
"Yes, Boss." Manager Li responded.
Yuanman gave some more instructions and then took the children back. After all, it was already late and the children were very tired after helping out all day.
Gu Cheng returned to the Gu family, gave all the sweet potatoes to Mrs. Gu and went to the study.
Mrs. Gu looked at the bags of sweet potatoes and immediately had someone take a few of them to cook, and stored the rest in the cellar.
Gu Chen sent the letter and then heaved a sigh of relief.
Anyway, he has done what he can, and the rest depends on Hui Chengyuan.
Early the next morning, Yuanman said hello to Grandma Liu and went out, heading straight for Qinheshan.
When he arrived at the foot of Qinhe Mountain, he did not let Yuan Yi and the others follow him, but flew up alone using his Qinggong skills.
This made Yuan Yi's eyes widen.
The last time she came, the master said she wanted to learn Qinggong from him. It has only been a short time and her Qinggong has become so good!
Yuanman naturally didn't care so much about the people he trusted.
After climbing to the top of Qinhe Mountain, I looked in the direction and then looked down the mountain. Finally, I decided to place the Hanging Hall on the north side, facing south.
After confirming the location and size, Yuan Man took out the Hanging Hall.
As soon as the Hanging Palace was released, it began to slowly grow larger until it reached its original size and then sat down on the ground.
Yuanman took a look and realized that he had miscalculated the distance a little bit, because there was a gap of about two meters left on the edge of the northern cliff.
In order to prevent the children from falling while playing, Yuanyue had to arrange for someone to build a guardrail.
I walked into the hall and took a look. It was really huge.
It is divided into three halls, the East Hall is the main hall, which has only two floors.
When I walked into the East Hall, I found that it was filled with furniture and even ornaments.
Then there is the North Hall, which has five floors. Each floor has many rooms, and each room has a bed. It is more like a single dormitory building.
The West Hall has three floors, but they are empty.
There are two side rooms next to the west hall. They are not big, but each room is about 200 square meters and is also empty.
After Yuan Man looked at it, she walked out of the Hanging Hall and saw the plaque of the Hanging Hall. She did not plan to change it.
After descending Qinhe Mountain, Nalai Yuanyue said, "Send someone to Dongyuan City to pick up Feng Ziyu and his sister, and send them directly to Qinhe Mountain."
"The Hanging Hall above will be the headquarters of Jubao Tower in the future. You guys can arrange it accordingly."
"Yuan Yi, arrange for someone to pick up Guan Fanyun, and send Qin Heshan over as well."
Yuan Yue didn't know the situation on Qinhe Mountain. Yuan Yi had been there before and found it was empty, with nothing there.
As for the Hanging Palace that the master mentioned, what is that?
He had questions, but he didn't ask them. Instead, he followed his master's orders.
Finally he sent Yuan San to pick up Guan Fanyun. The others were afraid that they might not know him, but this one could walk away and get to know him.
