Purchasing Fruits
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Ruyue was not feeling well, so she went back to rest. Chu Qingzhi took over her duties. Already swamped with work and with the payroll due in a few days, she was incredibly busy.
After arranging most of the tasks in the morning, a group of beggars arrived.
They had already helped harvest the family's rice and came today to dig a fruit cellar for Chu Qingzhi.
The chosen location for the cellar was in the vegetable garden behind the old house. Initially surrounded by a hedge, the area was now enclosed with a brick wall, approximately one acre in size.
Half an acre was occupied by the workshop, a quarter by the cattle shed and the stable, leaving another quarter.
Chu Qingzhi led the beggars to the backyard, having already planned the entrance to the cellar. "Wait here for the master to come before starting work."
All the tools were ready, just waiting for the master digger to guide them.
