"No need, Aunt Li. Xiyue isn't fully recovered yet. She can't do much if she goes with you. It's better for her to stay at home with you."

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

When we arrived at the fields, the village chief and his family had already started working.

When he saw Lin Jiuyue coming, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Miss Lin, you are here."

Lin Jiuyue nodded and smiled.

"Village Chief, why are you here so early? There's no need to be so anxious."

The village chief laughed twice.

"Haha, I offered you money for the seeds, but you refused. I have no choice but to come earlier and do more work."

The village chief and his family had already plowed the land for the seedlings. Once the plowing was complete, they would break up the larger clumps of soil and sow the seeds.

Lin Jiuyue was about to go to the fields, but the village chief raised his hand to stop her.

"Miss Lin, you don't have to come down. Just watch from the shore. We'll do whatever you say."

Lin Jiuyue felt a little embarrassed.

"How can this be possible? How can the owner of the house not do any work and just watch others do it?"

The village chief's family didn't hire any long-term workers, so it's a bit unreasonable for him to just watch them do the work without doing any work himself.

The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue.

This girl looks weak and fragile, and she is not the type to work.

But before, when they were cutting trees on the hill, he saw with his own eyes that Miss Lin could take on several adult men.

It is true, you cannot judge a person by his appearance!

Using oxen to plow the land is much faster than digging by people. A large area of ​​land has been cleared in half a morning.

"Village Chief, it's almost noon. Go back and have lunch before coming back."

Lin Jiuyue looked at the sun in the sky.

Although I am much stronger than ordinary people, working for a whole morning is still a bit tiring.

In addition, it is almost noon now and the energy has been almost consumed.

"Haha, Miss Lin, you go first, we'll do it for a while."

The village chief had high hopes for the rapeseed that Lin Jiuyue had mentioned. He was just waiting for this opportunity to "get rich" with Lin Jiuyue so that those family members who denied his decision would "look at him differently."

Lin Jiuyue was too embarrassed to leave by herself, so she asked the village chief and his family to help her with the work.

"Village Chief, this kind of work is available all year round. It's almost noon now, let's go back and eat first."

Isn't the purpose of working to eat and drink good food? If you skip meals just to work, you might as well just lie at home.

Seeing Lin Jiuyue's stubbornness, the village chief thought that if her family members didn't leave, she wouldn't either. After much hesitation, he finally agreed.

Except for a few children, everyone in the village chief's family came to help with the work.

After returning home, Lin Jiuyue called the children of the village chief to the Lin family. After dinner, before Lin Jiuyue could say anything, the village chief and his family hurried back to the fields.

Lin Jiuyue looked at the hurried backs of the village chief and his family and shook his head with amusement.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s the village chief’s job.

When the sun was about to set, a piece of land was finally cleared.

Although it was not Lin Jiuyue who cleaned up the land alone, Lin Jiuyue still felt a sense of accomplishment when looking at the cleaned up land.

"Miss Lin, we've cleared out a piece of land today. Do you think it's enough? If not, we can continue tomorrow."

Lin Jiuyue smiled and nodded.

"Village chief, we don't need a lot of land to grow seedlings. This piece is enough."

When the village chief heard Lin Jiuyue say that it was enough, a smile appeared on his face.

Although he is the village chief, he is also a farmer. What farmers want most is a good harvest.

"It's enough."

After the village chief and his family left, Lin Jiuyue entered the space and found Bubble to take out the rapeseed seeds.

"Miss, is this rapeseed?"

Xiyue looked at the seeds in front of her and asked curiously.

"Well, Xiyue, have you ever seen rapeseed seeds?"

Xiyue shook her head. She reached out and pinched the rapeseed seeds in her hand, letting them slip through her palm.

"No, I haven't. This is the first time I've seen rapeseed seeds."

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"Really? Then when we have a good rapeseed harvest, your young lady will use the oil pressed from rapeseed to cook you a dish. Then you can try it and see whether the dish cooked with rapeseed oil tastes better or the dish cooked with animal oil tastes better."

Cooking with animal oil does smell delicious, but it has a drawback.

That is, in winter, dishes fried with animal oil tend to solidify together.

Dishes fried in vegetable oil don’t have to worry about solidification.

"OK."

Since her health improved, Xiyue's mood has improved a lot and she has become more talkative.

The rapeseed seeds have been soaked in spiritual spring water in the space, and the moisture on the surface of the seeds has now dried.

In the afternoon, a layer of wood ash had been sprinkled on the prepared ground.

Tomorrow afternoon, just go to the field and spread the rapeseed seeds.

This dynasty did not yet produce chemical fertilizers, and the most commonly used substances by farmers were wood ash and farmyard manure.

The new land Lin Jiuyue bought is a bit far from home and there is no farm manure.

There is a little bit of wood ash, left over from the previous mountain burn.

Fortunately, Lin Jiuyue doesn't need those fertilizers.

Soaking the seeds in spiritual spring water is better than using any fertilizer.

But it's not okay to not spread anything, lest it arouse suspicion from others.

Therefore, Lin Jiuyue had to sprinkle a layer of wood ash on the ground.

"Miss, can we just sow the rapeseed seeds like this?"

"Well, when the rapeseed seedlings have about four or five leaves, they can be planted."

"Ah? After sowing the seeds, we still have to plant them again? My lady, I thought that sowing the rapeseed seeds was enough."

Although Xiyue was a servant, she had never farmed much. Even when she was with her previous master, she didn't need to farm.

Now that I have come to Lin Jiuyue, I am also studying farming with her.

"Haha, this kind of food thing, how can it be that easy? After sowing the seeds, you have to water them frequently, otherwise, the seeds won't grow. Even if they do grow, the germination rate won't be high."

After hearing this, Xiyue was a little confused.

What is germination rate? Why don't I understand what the lady said?

"Miss, what is the germination rate?"

Lin Jiuyue casually explained a few words.

"The germination rate is... How do I put it? For example, if I sow a hundred seeds on the ground and ninety-eight germinate, then the germination rate is ninety-eight."

After listening to this, Xiyue nodded thoughtfully.

"Miss, you are amazing. You even know these things."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

If I remember correctly, the term "percentage" already existed in this dynasty, right? Xiyue didn't know, but that didn't mean no one else knew.
