Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

When he got home, Su Zihui gave Yan Jiekuang a thumbs up and said, "Brother Jiekuang, you are amazing! You can actually make them take the initiative to ask for less work for you."

Yan Jiekuang said, "The captain and his men are helping me. Normally, the work points are fixed, and the highest is only ten. Everyone hopes to earn more work points this month. Everyone was doing well, but a monster like me showed up and took away their work points. Do you think others would be willing?! Although the people here are simple and honest, don't forget that there are three major surnames in the entire team. If we offend one of them, our life here will not be easy. Unless we have a way to return to the city immediately. The current situation is the best for me."

Su Zihui thought about it, nodded silently, and asked: "What should we do next?!"

Yan Jiekuang said mysteriously: "After dinner, let's go steal some vegetables!"

"Stealing vegetables?!" Su Zihui was stunned and muttered, "What's going on?!" Then Su Zihui wanted to ask Yan Jiekuang what was going on, but Yan Jiekuang had already entered the house. Su Zihui pursed his lips and was about to go back to his room, but Yan Jiekuang carried out a stone mill from the house, and then moved out two large water tanks.

Su Zihui asked: "Brother Jie Kuang, why did you move these things out?!"

Yan Jiekuang looked mysterious and said, "The stolen vegetables have to be dealt with, right? This is what we use to 'destroy the body and cover up the traces'."

Su Zihui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and asked, "Are these used to make candy?!"

Yan Jiekuang tilted his head to look at Su Zihui and said, "Xiaohui! Has anyone ever told you that girls who are too smart are more likely to have no friends?!"

Su Zihui replied: "We are not friends, we are a couple. The kind that will get married in the future. Are you planning to abandon me and find a new love?!" Then Su Zihui looked straight at Yan Jiekuang with an attitude of "if you don't coax me, I will cry in front of you."

"What a rude guy!" Yan Jiekuang muttered to himself, secretly looked around, then took a step forward and said, "Xiaohui, you misunderstood me! If I, Yan Jiekuang, really planned to abandon you, I would not be with you. First of all, I am not a scumbag, and secondly, I am not an animal who thinks with my lower body. What I said just now was just to make our lives more interesting and less boring. I didn't expect to cause your misunderstanding. Don't worry! If we want to go back to the city, we will go back together. I won't leave you alone."

Su Zihui snuggled into Yan Jiekuang's arms and said, "I believe you! I won't leave you alone to go back to the city."

Yan Jiekuang reached into his pocket, took out a piece of chocolate, and handed it to Su Zihui. Su Zihui was stunned when she saw the chocolate suddenly appearing in front of her, and looked up at Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang said, "I brought it from Sijiucheng. I saw it when I was packing up a few days ago. I think you will like it."

Su Zihui snatched the chocolate from Yan Jiekuang's hand and said, "This thing is hard to get even in Beijing. The last time I ate it was when my second uncle brought it back from a business trip. It was just a small piece." Su Zihui gestured with his hands to measure the size.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Since you like it, I will write to my friends in Sijiu City and ask them to find a way to get some for me."

Su Zihui frowned and asked, "Will it be troublesome?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "You don't have to worry about this. My friend is a purchasing agent for the factory, he has connections." At the same time, Yan Jiekuang muttered to himself, "It really takes countless lies to cover up one lie. When there is a chance in the future, find a place to get some of the things in the space out. Otherwise, with this little woman's shrewdness, she will discover the secret of the space sooner or later."

After eating the rest of their lunch, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui each carried a backpack and went out. Not long after they walked, they arrived at the beetroot growing area in the village. Su Zihui asked with some concern, "Brother Jiekuang, can we really take the vegetables here?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Just put your mind at ease! If the sky falls, I will hold it up." After that, Yan Jiekuang entered the vegetable field and began to pick the ripe beets. Su Zihui saw that Yan Jiekuang had already started, so she gritted her teeth and followed him into the vegetable field. Not long after, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui each carried a basket of beets on their backs and left the vegetable field.

After returning home, Yan Jiekuang moved out a table and first cleaned the leaves around the beets. Then he and Su Zihui gave the picked beets a bath and a massage.

Yan Jiekuang returned to the house and took out two pieces of very fine gauze, handed them to Su Zihui, and said, "Xiaohui, help me make two net covers that can cover the water tank."

"Hey!" Su Zihui responded, took the gauze, walked to the water tank to measure its size, and then took the gauze back to her room.

After Su Zihui left, Yan Jiekuang cut the beets into pieces quickly, took them to the stone mill, and crushed them with the stone mill. After that, Yan Jiekuang added water to the crushed beets in a ratio of 1:7. Then he used a clean bamboo pole to mix the beets and water. At this time, Su Zihui took out the prepared net cover. Yan Jiekuang covered the water tank with the net cover and said, "It's up to time next." Then Yan Jiekuang picked up the backpack again.

Su Zihui asked: "Where are you going?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I saw some limestone in the mountains a while ago. I'll go get some. I'll use lime to bleach it later."

"I'll go with you!" Su Zihui also picked up a backpack. Yan Jiekuang stared at Su Zihui for a few seconds, smiled and nodded, and then the two of them went out together.

Divine consciousness was Yan Jiekuang's navigation. Not long after they walked, they came to a pile of limestone. Su Zihui took a look at the surrounding environment and said, "I didn't expect there was such a thing here."

Yan Jiekuang said, "It's just a small piece. Although the place is not big, it is enough for the team." After that, Yan Jiekuang quickly moved a few larger pieces of limestone and put them into the two people's backpacks, then walked back.

When Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui arrived at the door, Gao Junsong and Tian Dazhuang were already waiting outside. Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Captain, you two came at the right time. Can you find some tools to help break up the limestone?"

Gao Junsong noticed the things in Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui's backpacks and asked curiously, "What do you want these things for?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "It is used for bleaching."

Tian Dazhuang saw the beet leaves in the corner and asked, "How long will it take to produce sugar?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "The longest time in the process is to extract the juice, which takes about an hour. Then the sugar juice is filtered out and decolorized with lime. The rest is to heat and extract the crystals." After that, Yan Jiekuang raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, "It's cold in winter. When extracting the juice, you can heat it appropriately."

Gao Junsong asked, "Xiao Yan, how much sugar can one hundred kilograms of beets contain?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "With our current technological level, ten tons of sugar beets can produce about one ton of sugar. And the variety of sugar beets must be the variety grown by our brigade."
