Chapter 451 Let Him Open His Eyes and Look Carefully
But an hour later, Jiang Yubai regretted it.
Jiang Yubai looked expressionlessly at the long queue of people in front of him, then turned around to look at the distant toilet, and the veins on his forehead bulged silently.
Jiang Yubai took a deep breath and said, "Wait a moment," and stood up in a very awkward manner.
Xu Yanran, who had come along to keep the accounts, stole a moment's rest from the side to glance over, then calmly said to Xu Mingxu, who was also sealed at the table, "It's only been a short while, what on earth is this guy dawdling about?"
In less than an hour, you've already run twice, right?
Xu Mingxu was a small man, buried in his writing at his desk. Without even looking up, he said, "It seems my second brother has found a dishonest helper."
"By the way, how much does my second brother pay him per day? Isn't our family losing out if he slacks off like that?"
Speaking of losses, Xu Mingyang raised his head cautiously, squinting his eyes and said, "That won't do."
"Since he's paid by our family, he must work hard. I'll keep an eye on him later!"
"Ouch! Uncle San, why are you hitting me?"
Xu Mingyang covered his head and pouted in grievance.
Uncle Xu, the only one who knew Jiang Yubai's identity, took a deep breath, turned over the paper on the table and said earnestly: "Don't stare at others, focus on your own writing."
"If you can't remember this account, wait until your sister-in-law comes back and see how you're going to take credit for it!"
Speaking of Sang Zhixia, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, the little ones instantly became well-behaved.
But when Jiang Yubai hurried back, Xu Mingyang still quietly went over and whispered a warning: "Don't be lazy!"
"If you slack off again, I'll have my brother deduct your wages!"
Jiang Yubai grabbed the pen and left a large ink dot on the paper. When he spoke again, his words were filled with powerlessness: "Boy, your brother didn't even pay me wages, okay?!"
"How much does your accountant earn per day? Please remember to remind him to pay me!"
There was no way the bill could be settled, absolutely no way.
After Xu Mingyang learned that Jiang Yubai didn't want any money, he stopped complaining and even took the initiative to run to make tea for Jiang Yubai when he was still thinking about slacking off.
Jiang Yubai glanced at the steaming teapot with an indescribable expression, gnashing his teeth in hatred and saying, "I won't drink it anymore."
Once you sit at this accounting desk, you don't have to have any distracting thoughts.
Jiang Yubai's face was dark as he wrote furiously, and his expression gradually became solemn as he wrote more.
Jiang Yubai paused his pen in mid-air, staring at the man reporting the amount in disbelief. "Eight hundred and sixty-three kilograms of grain per acre. Are you sure you weighed it correctly?"
The person being questioned said, baffled, “How could it possibly go wrong?”
"The numbers reported have been weighed three times and are absolutely correct."
Jiang Yubai's eyes trembled fiercely as he wrote down the words. When he wrote the words "pure grain", his wrist trembled uncontrollably. "Is it pure rice with the husk removed? How can one acre of land produce this much pure rice?"
"That's not too much."
Xu Tongsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted, "The harvest from the experimental fields designated by the boss this year will not begin until tomorrow. The harvest from there will be the most astonishing."
"What I've written down today isn't much different from last year, so it's a steady and solid progress. The real highlight will come when the crops from the experimental fields are harvested!"
"Experimental field?"
Jiang Yubai quickly turned the page and motioned for the next person to come forward while casually saying, "What is a test field?"
"I can't really say for sure."
Xu Tongsheng said with a smile: "The boss called it that, and everyone followed suit. It's hard to say what it means."
"But the experimental fields are different from other places. The owner personally leads the people to the fields. From sowing seeds to transplanting seedlings, the owner does everything without anyone else's help. This is the place that the owner values the most."
In the past two years, the experimental fields produced the most grain.
Before the autumn harvest this year, people who knew the situation in the previous two years were already secretly speculating and discussing whether this year's experimental fields could create miracles again.
However, until the harvested grain is actually weighed, no guesses can be made.
Everything will have to wait a few days before a conclusion can be drawn.
Xu Tongsheng chatted for a few minutes and then continued to work.
Jiang Yubai silently rubbed his sore wrist, concealed the dark look in his eyes, and continued to keep accounts amid the noisy and joyful voices.
After a busy day of rest, Jiang Yubai arrived at the threshing ground on time the next morning, holding his small teapot and starting to help.
The autumn harvest is a major event that irrigates the hopes of the entire year, and the autumn harvest at Xu’s Farm is a big event that everyone talks about.
Jiang Yubai gradually heard a lot of details that he had overlooked. When he was not so busy, he would run to the field with a sickle and help harvest two rows of rice.
He did the whole process by himself. After harvesting, he carried the grain to the threshing ground himself and watched the whole process of weighing and threshing with his own eyes, not missing a single detail.
Jiang Yubai's actions were reported to Xu Minghui, but Xu Minghui simply said, "Let him do whatever he wants. There's no need to avoid him."
Uncle Xu was a little worried at first, but when he heard this, his eyes flickered slightly and he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is this what your eldest brother meant?"
The farm is Sang Zhixia's industry, and it is also the result of the joint efforts of Xu Yu and her.
If it weren't for the approval of Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia, Xu Minghui would not have dared to be so bold as to lay everything out in front of Jiang Yubai.
Xu Minghui laughed and said, "I can't hide it from Third Uncle."
"Brother's point is that since we're here, there's no need to hide things from others. Showing some things might be a good thing."
Xu Yu did a lot of things during his trip to Shu this time. Apart from Sang Zhixia, Xu Minghui was the only one who knew the most.
Xu Minghui couldn't tell how disappointed Xu Yu was with Kyoto right now, but he felt that it was a good thing to let Jiang Yubai know the truth in advance.
After all, if you want to reach a cooperation and confirm the Xu family's status, you must first put the bargaining chips out in the open, and it is best to let people see them clearly.
If Jiang Yubai wants to see, then let him open his eyes wide and look carefully.
The greater the shock that the Xu family farm brought to him, the more favorable the situation would be for the Xu family in the future.
Uncle Xu guessed they were hiding something from him, but after thinking about it, he just smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, as long as you guys have discussed it and think it's okay."
Xu Minghui responded with a smile. After listening to Jiang Yubai's words, he nodded without thinking and said, "The experimental field was marked out by my sister-in-law. It's not a secret. You can take time to see it yourself."
Jiang Yubai had been busy all day and finally had time to sit down and drink some water. Hearing the sound, he paused holding the small teapot and said with a half-smile, "It's okay if I let him go and see it by himself?"
"OK."
"If you're afraid of getting lost, I can find someone to take you."
Xu Minghui put away the account book on the table and said slowly, "If you don't want to be disturbed, you can do whatever you want."
Jiang Yubai tutted, not knowing what to say. He waited until the tea in the teapot was empty, then said slowly as he filled the pot with water: "The fields are probably all about the same, the difference should be somewhere else."
“For example, seeds.”
Jiang Yubai turned to Xu Minghui with a smile and said playfully, "I heard that the rice seeds used on the farm were all cultivated by my sister-in-law herself, and she was very particular about seed selection and seed preservation. Is this true?"
