The herb garden now had over ten mu of herbs ready for harvesting. The contracted herb merchant was due to arrive in three days to haul the herbs away. Over the last two days, Grandpa had hired about a dozen people from the village to help with the harvest. They were paid daily wages and given two meals, as everything had to be harvested before the merchant showed up.
On the southeastern slope, a large, four-room building had been constructed. It had a waist-high foundation of bluestone, with walls of old-kiln red brick built on top. Stepping inside, she saw that a second-story loft had indeed been built with thick wooden planks. The ground floor was paved entirely with blue bricks and was immaculately clean and orderly. Xiao Man couldn't help but marvel, 'Grandpa's temporary herb storage warehouse is even better than the Sun Family's herb warehouse I saw back in Wancheng.'
