Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head, "There are no dragon horns. Just like us, we have horizontal eyebrows and a straight nose, two eyes and one mouth, and one pair of feet on the ground."

Yang Huamei said: "So that's what happened. Hey, let me just say that these villagers, one or two who have never seen the emperor, all think of the emperor in all kinds of weird ways. It's so funny."

Yang Ruoqing also laughed, and the two of them said nothing more, because the order-receiving ceremony over there was about to end.

The day after the ceremony of receiving the order, Daan set off and left Changping Village.

The whole family arrived on the road at the door. Watching Daan's carriage gradually condense into a small black dot in the morning mist, Yang Ruoqing helped Sun and the others back home.

There is not much time to be reluctant to leave, because the busy farming schedule that is about to come makes everyone unable to spare time.

Rapeseed and wheat mature one after another, and they have to rush to harvest.

When the harvest is over, we have to wait for the sun to dry, polish the seeds and store them.

The dried rapeseed can be sent to an oil mill to be ground into rapeseed oil, which is what you rely on for cooking all year round.

After harvesting wheat flour, I ate noodles, steamed buns, etc., and I was starving to death.

Farmers are all busy harvesting, and there is laughter and laughter everywhere.

In the fields after harvesting, there were still many old people with their children, carrying baskets, rummaging through every inch of soil on the opposite side, trying to find the missing wheat.

Not to mention, at the end of the day, if you are lucky, you can actually pick up two or three kilograms!

Don't underestimate the two or three kilograms of wheat. Two or three kilograms of wheat a day. If you pick it for five or six days, it will be more than ten kilograms.

From wheat weighing more than ten kilograms, seven or eight kilograms of wheat flour can be ground.

These seven or eight kilograms of wheat flour, in times of famine, can be eaten by a family of six every day for less than half a month.

So right now, the fields are full of people. After almost all the wheat ears have been picked, it rains a few times and the soil loosens.

It’s time to start bringing water to the fields, hitch the old oxen, and start plowing the fields.

Yang Huazhong was very busy during this period. Not only was he busy arranging for the long-term workers to plow the fields, but he was also busy planting early rice seedlings.

Damo has been working in a restaurant in town for half a month, and he is very good at it.

Because they are honest, hard-working, willing to endure hardships and suffer losses,

He quickly became friends with the people in the restaurant, and because he was ugly and humble, everyone liked to be friends with him. Being friends with him gave him confidence and a sense of superiority.

"Brother Damo, it's not good for you to be too honest. In this world, honest people tend to suffer."

Yang Ruoqing came to town to buy things, and the carriage took a circuit to the restaurant.

Damo grinned, "Suffering a loss is a blessing, not to mention that I won't suffer a big loss, so it'll be fine."

After hearing his words, Yang Ruoqing said nothing more. Everyone has their own way of survival in this world.

This is Brother Damo’s choice, as long as it suits him.

"Qing'er, I don't think Ge Dayan and Xiao Mo are suitable to work in a restaurant. The good job you gave them has been ruined by them." Damo continued.

Yang Ruoqing raised her head and looked at Damo in shock.

"How do you say this?" she asked.

Some time ago, after threshing the wheat, Ge Dadan and Xiao Mo came over to help Yang Huazhong's family free of charge, as agreed in advance between Damo and Yang Ruoqing.

No money is given, three meals a day are provided, and a place to stay is provided.

But in the end, Yang Huazhong settled the wages for Ge Dadan and Xiao Mo, and each received two taels of silver.

This time, Ge Dayan and Xiao Mo were very happy.

In the past few days, the two of them were brought to the restaurant by Damo to work as odd jobs.

After only a few days of work, Ge Dayan and Xiao Mo were in various situations.

At first Ge Dadan was clumsy, then Xiao Mo was a greedy person, always stealing the food given to the guests.

He was caught red-handed by Chef Zhou and Chen Biao, and after being educated twice, he still refused to change. Chen Biao directly reported it to Yang Ruoqing.

"What? One of them is still lazy and the other is eating. They won't change their old habits, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked Damo.

Damo looked ashamed, "I've been talking about them these past few days, and these two people can't listen."

"Xiao Mo's problem of stealing food has improved a little bit, but it still can't be eradicated." He said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm afraid this is because of the hard times in the past. Give him a while, and when he sees too much and eats too much delicacies, he will naturally stop eating secretly."

Damo shook his head and said: "Didn't I also survive the hard days? In the final analysis, it is human temperament."

"Although Xiaomo is my younger brother, I can't tolerate this kind of thing. If we run a restaurant and risk our own death, how can we do business?"

"After much thought, I decided to find a master for Xiao Mo and let him learn the craft from him."

"Masonry, carpentry, stonemason, painter, whatever! Sister Qing'er, what do you think?" Damo asked.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "Well, learning a craft is equivalent to holding a bowl for eating. This is indeed a good idea."

Damo smiled and said, "Just a few days ago, your father was so kind that he settled his wages of two taels of silver."

"I plan to use the money to fix his clothes, and use the rest to buy him a change of clothes and send him to be an apprentice." He added.

Completion of training is tuition.

Unexpectedly, during the period when Damo came out of the mountain, I learned several of these more refined languages ​​outside the mountain.

"Brother Damo, what are you going to send Xiao Mo to learn?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Da Mo said: "Well, I told you so many types before. Which one to learn? I will discuss it with Xiao Mo later."

Yang Ruoqing said: "That's fine. It doesn't matter what you study. At least you have to be interested in it. Otherwise, it's just trying to catch up."

Damo said: "That's the truth. I haven't studied in school and can't speak a lot of words. It's just like what you just said, sister Qing'er."

"So Brother Ge Dayan and Damo, have you made any plans for him?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Damo said: "I talked to him this morning. I said you originally asked me to help you with everything. Now I will help you run a restaurant. If you are lazy and sell out like this, what are you going to do?

How to fix it?"

"What do you mean by Ge Dadan?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.

Damo said: "Ge Dadan just told me a lot of nonsense, saying that working as a waiter in a restaurant will lead to nothing, and so on."

"To put it bluntly, your father paid him twenty taels of silver a few days ago."

"When he had some money in his hand, he straightened up and started to wander again," he said.

Ge Dadan also tried to get Damo to go with him, saying that he was going to other nearby villages to work as a caterer for others.

The so-called Mai Ke is a general term.

The general idea is that when the farmers are busy harvesting wheat and rice, the owner will settle the wages.
