Ye Jingmo chuckled as he watched Jiang Li's actions.

He returned to the restaurant, cleaned up the food, and covered it up.

He wanted to wait for Jiang Li to wake up so they could have a meal together.

When Jiang Li groggily opened her eyes, the sunlight outside the window shone on the curtains, projecting colorful patterns onto the floor.

Startled, she immediately checked the time; it was already past three in the afternoon.

Jiang Li immediately looked around for Ye Jingmo's figure. She only relaxed when she saw him sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Brother Mo, why didn't you wake me up?"

Jiang Li asked Ye Jingmo, her voice choked with embarrassment.

They were completely justified and self-righteous.

"Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to disturb you."

But if you don't wake up soon, I'll have to go and wake you up.

If I don't eat lunch, I'll easily get stomach problems later.

Ye Jingmo closed the book in his hand, stood up, and walked to sit down next to Jiang Li's bed.

He even reached out to tidy up Jiang Li's messy hair.

"Brother Mo, have you had lunch yet?"

"Are you still waiting for me to have lunch?"

Jiang Li suddenly remembered this and quickly asked Ye Jingmo about it.

Ye Jingmo paused for a moment, his tone somewhat unsteady.

"What's the point of eating alone?"

I just wanted to wait for you to come with me.

Jiang Li was taken aback, remained silent, and then slowly spoke:

"Next time something like this happens, just tell me to get up."

So that you won't go hungry with me.

"it is good."

Ye Jingmo readily agreed; whether or not he would actually do it was up to him.

"My princess, shouldn't you get up and wash up?"

He gently reminded Jiang Li.

When Jiang Li heard this address, she almost choked on her own saliva. She felt a wave of embarrassment and touched the goosebumps on her arm.

"Brother Mo, don't call me that next time."

This gave me goosebumps all over.

After saying that, Jiang Li immediately got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom.

After Jiang Li washed her face, she and Ye Jingmo finally had their belated lunch.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Li didn't want to waste any more time, so she immediately went up to the third floor.

She needs to quickly harvest the remaining potatoes and plant the next batch of crops.

There's still a lot to do.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo continued to turn over the planting troughs that had not yet been harvested.

Jiang Li used a shovel to knock the soil off the potato seedlings, while Ye Jingmo picked the potatoes off and put them into a basket.

As the first rays of sunset appeared in the sky, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo finally finished harvesting all the potatoes.

They harvested a total of seven large baskets of potatoes, which can be described as a very high yield.

Jiang Li couldn't help but beam with joy when she saw so many shredded potatoes, and didn't feel that her previous fatigue was anything at all.

She put five baskets of potatoes into her spatial storage, leaving the remaining two baskets outside.

Once Sunday arrives, we can sell a basket of potatoes.

That's not too eye-catching.

The potatoes have been harvested; the only remaining problem is the mud on the covers.

Jiang Li took out a broom and swept the mud on the cover towards the center.

Ye Jingmo took a shovel and poured the pile of soil into the planting trough.

Jiang Li would plant the prepared seedlings when he filled the soil to six-tenths full.

Then Ye Jingmo completely filled the soil and sprayed water on it with a watering can.

While the two were halfway through their work, Zhou Tian called.

"We've arrived at the door."

Jiang Li, who had just connected to the communication, heard Zhou Tian's voice coming from the other end.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo had to temporarily stop the transplanting work, quickly went downstairs, and ran to the front yard gate to open it.

Zhou Tian and Master Li were at the door, with a few other people waiting behind them, when they saw the door open a crack.

Jiang Li welcomed them all into the front yard.

Zhou Tian looked at the front yard, which used to be full of lush green crops, but now it was empty and looked very desolate.

This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Master Li, on the other hand, had a kind and benevolent face. The land was empty, which meant that the harvest had been completed.

He will then receive his share of the payment, and can use it to cook for his family when he gets home today.

Ye Jingmo brought a basket of corn and a basket of potatoes from inside the house.

Zhou Tian immediately stepped forward to help, and the people behind him hesitated for a moment before also stepping forward.

This substantial haul drew the attention of the entire group.

Some people even started swallowing their saliva.

They wished they could just take both baskets of corn and potatoes with them.

Jiang Li took out a bag and packed the portion of corn that had been printed out for Master Li.

"Master Li, take a look, this is the amount we agreed on."

Jiang Li showed the corn hanging on the scale to Master Li.

"Yes, yes."

Master Li nodded as he quickly stepped forward to take the bag from Jiang Li's hand, afraid that Jiang Li might change her mind at any moment.

The people who came with Master Li all had their eyes glued to this bag.

"Um, can you sell us your potatoes? We'll pay with points."

After taking the bag, Mr. Li did not leave, but shamelessly asked questions.

He took a liking to the potatoes next to him; their dark yellow skin looked powdery and soft, and they must taste delicious.

These words made Zhou Tian unhappy.

It was he who recommended Master Li to Jiang Li, but now that the matter is over, Master Li is trying to take the remaining basket of potatoes.

If he were to go back empty-handed,

That would certainly be talked about.

"Jiang Li, can we sell the remaining potatoes to the government?"

We've been working together for quite some time now, so you don't need to worry about the price.

Zhou Tian and Master Li stared at each other, their eyes practically blatantly vying for control.

"The authorities can't just swallow all the potatoes at once, can they? What's wrong with leaving some for us ordinary folks?"

Master Li spoke up.

"The authorities need this crop to ensure the livelihoods of more people."

Zhou Tian retorted without any politeness.

Jiang Li quickly called for a stop, fearing they might start fighting at any moment.

"I'll sell you five jin of potatoes, Mr. Li."

The rest will be sold to the official distributors, as I promised beforehand.

Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Zhou Tian and Master Li's argument ceased.

Although he could only get five kilograms of potatoes, Mr. Li was still very happy.

Something is better than nothing.

If the authorities really force a complete acquisition, there's nothing they can do.

Zhou Tian and Master Li left Jiang Li's villa with their haul, both satisfied.

After seeing them off, Jiang Li sat on the sofa, panting. Reception was definitely more tiring than the actual work.

Ye Jingmo brought Jiang Li a glass of water from the kitchen.

"You must be tired. Have some water to soothe your throat."

Jiang Li drank it all without looking at it, only to find out when the water entered her mouth that it wasn't plain water, but had a plum flavor.

The sweet and sour taste stimulates the taste buds in the mouth.

"Is this plum honey water?"

Jiang Li looked up at Ye Jingmo.

Ye Jingmo nodded.

"This is made with green plums, and the honey from before has been added back in. Is it good?"

"Delicious."

Jiang Li's eyebrows relaxed, her face beamed with a smile, and she felt full of energy.
