Hearing the craftsmen's questions, Fu Chen'an said, "I also don't know what type of wood this is. I got this wood from the mountain forest."
As soon as they heard that he got it from the mountain, the craftsmen's excitement died down. Although they would love to obtain good-quality wood, they were unwilling to hire people to go into the mountains. The cost was too high.
After giving them some instructions, Fu Chen'an went to the kitchen to help his wife prepare breakfast.
Since he had nothing to do at home, he went to the wasteland after breakfast and helped plant the land. Thanks to the good food they prepared, the workers worked harder than usual.
Before sunset, they finished planting all the land. It usually took 25 days to complete the planting, but they only needed 17 days. This saved Yao Zhi a lot of wages.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, she was calculating the workers' wages with Yang Dalang.
