Bab 48: Chapter 48: Surprise Inspection_1

He Tiantian was diligent, and Aunt Liu was thus much lighter in her steps and very happy.

Aunt Liu was overjoyed and said, "Then we must put in extra effort today, finish early, and rest early."

The two arrived at the middle of the mountainside and found the spot where they were to cut grass today, and began to busy themselves with their work.

This time, they weren't cutting a basketful to send down the mountain per trip, but rather cutting a large pile all at once, then spreading it on the ground to dry. In just one morning's time, it could be half dried. In this way, they could pack more grass of the same weight and volume.

The four baskets from the morning were even more than the previous five, a more efficient yield. When brought down the mountain, just drying them a bit more would allow them to be stacked together, waiting for the harvest to be over before being chopped into small sections, bagged in burlap sacks, and stored inside as fodder for the livestock's winter.
