Thirty minutes later, Zhang Ermu finally parked his bullock cart in a small open area.

This spot was right behind the wheat field, spacious enough for them to place their tools and process the wheat. The path leading here was secluded but wide enough to make the transportation process easier.

As An Xuyuan surveyed the area, he asked, "Brother Zhang, how did you find this place?"

"I discovered that wheat field earlier and planned to harvest it. So, I scouted the surrounding area and found this spot. From the wheat field to here, it's only a ten-minute walk. It will save us time," Zhang Ermu explained.

Hearing this, An Xuyuan realized that the people he had assumed to be simple and honest were actually more resourceful than he had expected.

While smart people could be harder to deal with, working with them was much better—at least he wouldn't have to waste time explaining simple things.
