Lin Yuelan replied, “No.”
She did not elaborate.
Then, she said to them, “Soak these seeds with cold water first, then pack them in a cloth bag with holes. Water them with warm water, seal them, and hang them on a hook for two days. During these two days, don’t touch them, and don’t open them.”
When Jiang Zhennan heard about watering the seeds with warm water, he asked in confusion, “Won’t the seeds ripen if we water them with warm water?”
Lin Yuelan had the urge to roll her eyes. She said in a cold and tender voice, “I said warm water, not hot water. As long as the temperature is below 25 degrees Celsius, it’ll be fine. ”!!
“25 degrees Celsius?” Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were confused.
Lin Yuelan didn’t bother to explain. She said, “it’ll be fine as long as you won’t burn your hand when you touch the water.”
Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing still did not understand, but they nodded.
After that, the two of them soaked the 100 catties of seeds in cold water in four earthen jars. According to Miss Lin, they had to be soaked for five days in the cold water. After the fifth day, they would be taken out and packed into cloth bags. After watering them with warm water, they would germinate.
While the seeds were being prepared, Lin Yuelan worked the two Fens of land the Lin Family had given her.
Lin Yuelan ordered little three and the others, “get some straw and burn it to ashes.”
Originally, she had planned to buy the straw from the villagers, but Lin Yuelan didn’t like to deal with those people. Moreover, she didn’t want to benefit them. Those people treated the straw as waste, but she knew the straw was a treasure. Perhaps after they knew the use of the straw, they would hide it from her or raise the price of the straw. Therefore, Lin Yuelan didn’t want to deal with the villagers if possible. She would rather gather the withered grass from the abandoned fields.
Little Three, Little Six, and Little Twelve were all young and strong men. They were soldiers in the army and could endure hardships. In addition, they had a lot of strength. Very quickly, bundles of dry grass and leaves were collected.
Little twelve asked curiously, “Miss Lin, why are we burning them?”
“To make fertilizer!” Lin Yuelan didn’t try to hide anything.
Little twelve scratched his head, indicating that he didn’t understand.
However, they didn’t stop. They used flint to light up the dry grass. In an instant, people from far away could see the smoke and fire.
“Fire, fire! The back mountain is on fire.” After a while, the Lin family villagers thought that the back mountain was on fire.
When they came over with buckets and basins, they saw Lin Yuelan and her group burning dry grass.
This made many of the villagers angry, but they couldn’t say anything because of their fear of Lin Yuelan. They could only glare at her and go back with their things.
After the crowd had left, Lin Yiwei looked at the burning dry grass in confusion and asked, “Lan ‘Er, you…”
Lin Yuelan answered with a smile, “Grandpa village chief, I’m making fertilizer for the fields.”
Lin Yiwei was puzzled. “Fertilizer? Fertilizer for the fields?”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Grandpa village chief, have you started the planting season?”
Lin Yiwei shook his head gently. “No, I’m planning to start in the next two days. Lan ‘Er, do you mean you will get fertilizer from burning the grass?”
Lin Yuelan nodded, “Yes, Grandpa village chief.” Then, she thought for a while and said to Lin Yiwei, “Grandpa village chief, if you trust me, you can burn the useless straw in your house into ashes and then scatter the ashes in the field before planting the seeds.”
Lin Yuelan didn’t tell Lin Yiwei about the more efficient way to grow rice. She didn’t want to care too much about these things yet. She would wait for Jiang Zhennan to return to the imperial court and have him handle it directly.
Instead, she told Lin Yiwei how to make fertilizer.
Lin Yiwei didn’t quite understand it, but he knew that Lin Yuelan would never do things without a purpose ever since she had returned from the hall of hell.
Besides, the straw would take up extra space anyway. It wouldn’t cost much time or money to burn it, so why not trust this girl for once?
Lin Yiwei nodded and said, “Okay, girl. I’ll burn those things when I get back. However,” he said with a smile, “Seeing how big the fire is, I better prepare a wooden bucket with water first. Haha…”
After preparing the fertilizer for the seedlings, Lin Yuelan took Jiang Zhennan and the others to the plot of land in Changping. She had five Mu of high-class fields that she had bought from the Zhou family. They had to weed the fields, water them, and loosen them.
However, Lin Yuelan’s face darkened when she arrived there.
Lin Yuelan’s face was cold and stern. She looked at the Zhou family who were working in the fields, then at the young seedlings emerging in the fields. She was a little angry.
‘Very good. Zhou Ping and his wife actually want to take advantage of me so openly. Did they forget that these fields no longer belonged to them?’
Lin Yuelan looked at the few people in the field. They were nervous, but they pretended not to see her. She said coldly to Jiang Zhennan and the others, “Get down and pull out these seedlings. Don’t leave a single one!”
In this ancient time, people cherished food. Uprooting them would be a great waste.
Jiang Zhennan and the others looked at the seedlings that were growing green on the entire field and said with some difficulty, “Miss Yue ‘Er, after all, this field has already been planted. Do you think…” it’s wise to ruin the seeds?
However, Lin yuelan interrupted him sharply and said coldly, “I don’t care if the field has been planted or not. This is my field, and no one can take advantage of me.”
Then, she looked at Jiang Zhennan coldly and said, “Are you going to help me or not?”
