"Have you eaten?" Lin Yinan picked up a chicken leg and started eating.

"I've already eaten."

Hearing that she had eaten, Lin Yinan said, "Qianxia, ​​go and ask my brother how much lime he has left from the last shipment?"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Chika put down the half-finished garment she was sewing, stood up briskly, and walked out.

A short while later, Lin Yiheng, Lin Yizhang, and Lin Yuanzhi followed Qianxia into the courtyard where Lin Yinan lived.

Qianxia led them to sit on the corridor, and after a while, Lin Yinan came out after finishing his meal.

"Anan, do you think that lime sprinkled in the field is effective against bloodsucking insects?" Lin Yizhang asked anxiously, as he had also been bitten by those insects two or three times that morning.

"able!"

Upon hearing Lin Yinan's affirmative answer, Lin Yiheng excitedly stood up, "How much should be sprinkled on a paddy field?"

"Do you have a lot of lime in stock?"

With so much land, Lin Yinan was worried that it wouldn't be enough.

Lin Yuanzhi said, "Anan, don't worry! Liu Yu recently discovered a limestone site on the mountain, and there's plenty of it."

Lin Yinan handed the slip of paper containing the calculated lime ratio for each acre of land to Lin Yiheng.

"In that case, let's send someone to scatter it now."

There were too many leeches in the fields. After planting and pulling up the rice seedlings in the morning, everyone stopped working and were chatting in twos and threes under the eaves of the county government office after lunch.

Lin Yuanzhi came out and told the clan chief and village chief, who were sitting in the main hall, about the method to kill leeches. Upon hearing this, the villagers stood up one after another, put on straw hats, and went to the shed where building materials were stored to move lime.
