Chapter 135 How to sleep tonight

Hearing Taylor's words, Ophelia smiled and excitedly hugged Taylor's neck and kissed him again and again.

"Taylor, you are so amazing. I like you so much."

At this time, Zeref, who came in with barbecue, heard Ophelia's words and dug his slender bamboo-like fingers into the stone bowl.

Taylor saw Zeref come in, helped Ophelia up and whispered, "Princess, do you want to go outside now?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Ophelia shouted excitedly.

The two of them were about to go out together, and Zeref put the stone bowl in his hand heavily on the ground.

He looked at the three little dragon cubs wagging their tails and said indifferently, "Eat it yourself."

Then he turned to look at Ophelia and said, "I'll go with you."

Only then did Ophelia notice her hands intertwined with Taylor's and pulled her hand away awkwardly.

"Okay, let's go together."

After Ophelia pulled her hand away, a trace of loneliness flashed in Taylor's eyes.

Although he was prepared, he still felt heartbroken when he saw that the princess really kept a distance from him for Zeref.

So Ophelia escaped from the Fu tribe while being attacked from both sides by Zeref and Taylor.

The atmosphere along the way was very awkward, but after seeing the lush green rice fields and corn fields outside the tribe, Ophelia's attention was immediately diverted.

She walked into the rice field and bent down to check the growth of the rice seedlings.

The rice seedlings are growing well, but perhaps due to climate change, they are not as strong as the first crop of rice.

She sighed and said that if she wanted to increase the yield, she had to apply fertilizer to the rice.

Otherwise, given the current situation, there is a high probability that the rice will have empty husks when it is ready for harvest.

"What's wrong, Princess?" Taylor asked with concern when he saw Ophelia looking dejected.

"Rice needs to be fertilized, otherwise the yield will not be high. But if fertilizer is used, it will be difficult to promote double-season rice."

Because if she grows double-season rice on a large scale, she will not only have to prepare seeds but also fertilizers, which will inevitably arouse suspicion.

So she plans to temporarily put the plan to promote double-season rice on hold and put other crops that are suitable for their season on the agenda.

She remembered that winter wheat could be grown in winter.

So after thinking about it, she decided to pull out the rice and plant winter wheat seeds.

"Why do you want to pull out these rice plants?" Taylor was very surprised when he heard Ophelia's words.

He felt a little reluctant to leave the lush rice fields, after all, rice cultivation requires a lot of water.

All these rice fields were irrigated by him and his tribesmen carrying water bucket by bucket.

Now that he suddenly has to pull out all the rice, he feels a little pain in his heart.

"Don't worry, we're just pulling them out to grow better crops."

Ophelia lowered her voice and leaned closer to the two of them. "There's a crop in this space that can be grown in winter, and the yield is about the same as rice."

"If we can really grow it, we'll have food to eat all year round, and we won't have to rely solely on rice every year."

Although the Beast World has now mastered the technology of growing rice, the development of crops is still very limited.

Since there is no way to promote double-season rice, she has to win by quantity and variety.

Hearing Ophelia say this, Taylor felt less reluctant.

So they got down to work and Taylor and Zerev pulled out all the rice in an acre of field.

It is slow to plant, but fast to pull out.

Ophelia composted the land again and planned to wait two days before planting winter wheat.

Then Ophelia went to the watermelon field. The watermelons had grown as big as grapefruits.

The watermelon's ripening period is also eighty days, and it will be mature in about another sixty days.

She searched the watermelon patch carefully and picked up a few watermelons and knocked on them.

Then I found that there was a hole drilled in one of the watermelons, revealing the pink flesh inside.

"Why is there a hole here?" Taylor asked confused.

Zeref also squatted down and looked around, then grabbed a little guy from the ground next to him.

"It's a hedgehog."

"Oh, you little thing, you stole food into my field." Ophelia pinched the little hedgehog's neck and tapped its little nose.

This hedgehog is still very small, only as big as a woman's palm.

The thorns on its body are also soft, and there is some pink pulp on the tip of its nose, proving its "evil deeds".

"Squeak, squeak." The little hedgehog twisted its body and struggled, but it was no use.

"What should we do now?" Zeref frowned.

Ever since he had the little dragon cub, he has no resistance to these soft and cute little animals.

The previously cold heart gradually warmed up, and he was no longer as harsh, cruel and ruthless as before when dealing with things.

"How much can it eat when it's so small? Just let it go."

However, what Ophelia didn't know was that this release caused a series of consequences, of course, that's a story for later.

After checking, she found that one acre of field could produce about 300 watermelons, which was nearly twice the yield of wild watermelons.

And this is when Ophelia deliberately controls the yield. If not, according to modern yields, one acre of watermelon can yield at least 3,000 kilograms.

One watermelon weighs ten pounds, so three thousand kilograms means six hundred watermelons.

If he really took out 600 watermelons at once, it would probably scare people.

Finally, Ophelia went to the cornfield again. The corn was growing well and the corn stalks had grown as tall as a person.

Many of them have already produced corn cobs. The ripening period of corn and watermelon is both eighty days.

So in just over a month, the corn and watermelon will be ripe.

When so many watermelons and grains are brought out, it will definitely shock the entire Wanshou City.

By then, the reputation of his Fu tribe’s shop will be even higher.

Ophelia walked around a few times and finally released the depression that she had been holding in at home for several days.

When they returned, it was already dark.

Taylor and Zeref went to prepare dinner, and after dinner the three of them looked at each other.

Finally, Taylor stood up to clear the dishes, and then said casually.

"I'm going to wash the dishes. I won't be back until late. Princess, please sleep with Zeref tonight."

Ophelia blushed slightly and stammered, "I, I can do it alone."

It was Taylor who gave him a reassuring smile. "You have three little dragon cubs to look after tonight. One person can't do it all."

"Zeref is their father, so he's naturally obligated to help you. Don't be embarrassed."

Although Ophelia was embarrassed, she was finally persuaded by Taylor.

Don’t be fooled by the three little dragon cubs who appear well-behaved during the day; they turn into little devils at night.

It is very energetic. Not only does it run around, but it also likes to chew things everywhere.

They dug a hole in the corner of the wall and even lifted up a piece of the bluestone bricks on the ground.

If there is really no one watching over them at night, they can cause chaos.
