Even though Lin Zao didn't reveal the actual yield, what they saw already left Sun Ding and the others speechless with shock.
By the time they realized what was happening, Lin Zao had already started arranging the harvest for Jiang Fu.
Lin Zao picked another one to demonstrate, saying, "You can pick any of these big ones now! For the smaller ones, just pick them every two days!"
"Yes! I understand!"
Jiang Fu excitedly led the people from the village carefully into the cucumber field and began picking.
Sun Ding and the others watched Lin Zao with envy and anticipation, wanting to participate as well!
Lin Zao's eye twitched; she had never seen anyone so eager to do work.
"You can pick whatever you want!"
"Thank you, Madam!"
Watching the group of people enthusiastically picking cucumbers, Lin Zao took Xiao Bao and the twins to check out other vegetable fields.
The corn, peppers, pumpkins, and other crops are growing very well, and they should be ready to be harvested in about a month.
This shows how hardworking the tenants in the village were!
As the weather gets hotter, the river has almost dried up, and now only well water is still usable.
Even if they used well water, it shouldn't be enough to irrigate so many fields! I wonder where they got the water from.
Could it be that groundwater has been found here?
Lin Zao planned to go and ask Jiang Fu. If they really found it, it would be a great joy!
Lin Zao and her three children carefully examined several important crops and found that apart from some pests, there were no other problems.
Lin Zao already knew what was going on, and led the children back to the cucumber patch.
Jiang Fu, Sun Ding, and the others continued picking, looking at the ground filled with basket after basket of cucumbers.
Lin Zao was somewhat worried; how should she deal with so many of them?
Oh well, Zhuangzi has already been handed over to King Cheng, so it's their problem to worry about him!
Seeing that Lin Zao had finished inspecting everything so quickly, Jiang Fu hurriedly came out of the cucumber field, worried that there might be some problems with the crops.
"Madam, is there anything else about these crops that we need to pay attention to?"
“You’ve done a great job! As for those pests, you can burn some wood ash, dissolve it in water, and spray it on the crops to prevent some pests, but don’t spray too much.”
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Madam!"
They used to deal with those pests by catching them with their hands, but this method was completely ineffective. They never expected that wood ash could have such an effect!
He had no doubt about Lin Zao's proposed method, and even though it seemed simple, he trusted it completely.
"I see that these crops are kept very moist. How do you manage to do that?" Lin Zao asked casually.
"Thank God! The Emperor's grace is boundless!"
Jiang Fu first knelt down and kowtowed towards the east, then excitedly explained to Lin Zao:
"Madam, you have no idea how wise and powerful our Prince is! As soon as the drought struck, he sent many capable people to search for groundwater everywhere."
“We found a spot on the back mountain of our village. When the prince sent people to dig a hole, you didn’t see it, but the water suddenly gushed out high! It was absolutely a miracle!”
Lin Zao knew that the groundwater pressure was very high, so it was normal for it to gush out.
Finally, Jiang Fu sighed:
"His Highness must have received divine guidance to discover this underground water, bringing blessings to the people!"
Lin Zao coughed twice and quickly changed the subject:
"I see it's getting late, so hurry up and pick these cucumbers and pack them up so the prince can send someone to collect them. Oh, and I see the lettuce and bok choy are all ready, so please harvest them too!"
Jiang Fu then regained his composure and said, "Don't worry, Madam, we will definitely complete your mission!"
