In the next five days, the check-in amount on three days was 15 Great Unity Banknotes, and one day it was 30 Great Unity Banknotes, as well as various grades of pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as modern stationery, even 100 kilograms each of draft paper and ordinary rice paper.
Generous! Whose kind person sends paper by the pound? And 100 pounds!
Also included are several calligraphy copybooks for brush and fountain pen.
That night, when she returned to her space, Xu Manman put it to use. Looking at her own handwriting, which looked like dog crawling, Xu Manman had an epiphany.
Another day there were 20 big unity cards, and 1,000 pieces of cloth of different colors, patterns, and categories, as well as a very complete needle and thread set. The thread of each color was round, and there was a roll as thick as an arm. There were also embroidery frames, automatic sewing machines, fully automatic hemming machines and other clothing-making tools, as well as a series of books such as "Learning Clothing Making from Scratch" and "Learning Fashion Design from Scratch".
Xu Manman was overwhelmed by the fabrics she was rewarded with. She only wanted to make a few everyday clothes and didn't want to become a master tailor. From another perspective, was the system judging her clothing-making skills as mediocre? Was it asking her to practice more?
However, Xu Manman was still very happy to have so many fabrics. Not only were there the homespun cloth that was more commonly used nowadays, but there were also the silks and satins from ancient times. Moreover, Xiao Jin said that they were produced by the system, could be rinsed and machine washed, would not fade or wrinkle, were breathable and not stuffy, and were of high quality.
Most of these fabrics are brightly colored, and at this time, even if they are made into ready-made clothes, they cannot be worn outside.
Fortunately, the dawn of the day will eventually come. Before that, she needs to practice well and make more beautiful clothes for herself. When she lets go, she can change a set of clothes every day. They are custom-made and purely handmade. This is better than those international brands.
So in the following time, in addition to cooking, learning and practicing calligraphy, I also added sewing practice, and of course the most important thing was farming.
In recent days, Xu Manman would go to the threshing ground to sign in every day when she went to work. She was not disappointed there. On average, she signed in 3,000 kilograms of grain each time, mainly barley and rice. One day, she even signed in a fully automatic grain processing machine.
Xu Manman screamed in her heart. Now, she didn’t have to worry about dealing with the food in the space.

That morning, 15 big unity tickets were signed in and 3,000 kilograms of grain were signed in the threshing ground.
When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, the team leader who had gone to the meeting came back and informed everyone that they would start harvesting corn and sweet potatoes the day after tomorrow and that they would have a day off tomorrow.
I have been here for almost half a month, and this is my first holiday. There may be heavier work in the future, but it cannot compare to the joy of having a holiday at this moment.
After work, Liu Hua came to ask Xu Manman to go to the commune together tomorrow. Xu Manman said that she was going to the next village to visit her cousin tomorrow.
"Is it your cousin who came to see you last time?" Liu Hua still remembered Chen Ming whom he met a few days ago.
"Well, he went to the countryside last year. He lives in the next village."
"That's great. It's so close. Why didn't you choose that place when you went to the countryside? Wouldn't it be more convenient?" Liu Hua was puzzled.
Xu Manman sighed, "I wanted to, too, but the neighboring village didn't assign any educated youth this year, so we chose the one from Hongsheng Village. At least it's closer."
"But it's not bad this way. It's close and convenient to come over." Liu Hua was envious that he could still have relatives to take care of him even though he was so far away from home.
The two chatted for a few more words and then went back to their rooms to cook.
Xu Manman added water to the pot, poured in the corn grits that had been soaked yesterday, turned on the fire and waited for it to simmer slowly. She didn't prepare any dishes for the time being, just took out the empty space and put it at the bottom of the bowl.
