"Isn't it amazing? I, your young lady, am very powerful. From now on, you will follow your young lady and enjoy the best of everything."
Lin Jiuyue sorted the seeds while talking.
"Great, miss."
the next day.
Lin Jiuyue was afraid that the village chief would go to the fields to work with his family without a word, just like he did yesterday, so she got up early.
Lin Jiuyue actually guessed it right!
The village chief was preparing to go to the fields with his family.
"Village Chief, didn't I tell you yesterday that we don't have to go so early?"
It’s not time to really get busy yet. When the rapeseed seedlings grow bigger and are ready to be transplanted, then we’ll really start to get busy.
"Hey, we farmers are used to getting up so early. It's no problem."
Today the village chief did not bring his entire family with him, only a few strong men in his family.
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Village Chief, I'm really embarrassed by what you've done."
I had originally wanted to plant something that wasn't often seen here, or rather, something that few people grew. Now I've found it, but the village chief seems even more enthusiastic than me.
It can be seen that the village chief has high expectations for this rapeseed.
"Haha, Miss Lin, I won't say those polite words to you. After these two days of sorting, I think your rapeseed will definitely work. It's more cost-effective than growing grain."
Although the village chief is also a farmer, he is different from other farmers. At least he is not as obsessed with food as other farmers.
Some farmers are particularly obsessed with food. As long as they have some land, they will plant food on it. If someone asks them to plant something that cannot fill their stomachs, they will be very panicked.
The village chief is different. His thinking is more avant-garde. As long as something can be exchanged for silver, he is willing to try it.
"Village Chief, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. I thought you would be like everyone else and think that growing rapeseed is a 'waste' of land."
Lin Jiuyue bought twenty acres of land, and the news that he wanted to plant rapeseed on all of it had spread.
The villagers heard about Lin Jiuyue's story, and some people secretly said that Lin Jiuyue put all her eggs in one basket and that she was not smart.
This is still a polite statement. Some people even said directly that it was a waste for Lin Jiuyue to buy the land because he didn't even grow crops.
People like Lin Jiuyue, who have land but don't grow crops, shouldn't have so much land.
Although Lin Jiuyue was not on the battlefield when the villagers said those words, he still heard about it later.
"Hey, Miss Lin, don't listen to their nonsense. If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with the rapeseed you're growing."
"If you grow grain and it sells for three cents per pound, and you grow rapeseed and it sells for five cents per pound, then growing rapeseed is definitely more profitable, right?"
The village chief didn't know the yield of rapeseed or how much oil a pound of rapeseed could produce. But he was inexplicably convinced that Lin Jiuyue would definitely make money by growing this crop.
At least, it's more cost-effective than growing crops.
After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue gave the village chief a thumbs up.
"Village chief, you should be more open-minded."
The village chief smiled.
Plant whatever you want to earn money from.
If there is not enough food, you can sell the rapeseed and then buy food. It’s the same.
"Haha, that's nothing. I just learned a little bit from following you. It's nothing."
The group talked as they walked, and when they arrived at the field, Lin Jiuyue took the rapeseed seeds off the car.
"Miss Lin, this is the rapeseed seed you mentioned, right?"
The village chief had already glanced at the rapeseed seeds several times along the way, but the rapeseed seeds were wrapped in cloth bags, and he couldn't see what they looked like from the outside.
The cloth bag was tied tightly by Lin Jiuyue, and the village chief was embarrassed to ask Lin Jiuyue to open it and take a look.
"Yes, village chief, this is rapeseed."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed a handful of rapeseed seeds and showed them to the village chief.
This was the first time for the village chief and his son to see rapeseed seeds, and they were extremely curious.
"Oh, this is rapeseed? I finally get to see what it looks like today."
"That's right, but these rapeseed seeds don't look like anything special. Besides, the seeds are so small. How are we going to harvest them?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
Rapeseed seeds are indeed small, but there are things that are about the same size as rapeseed.
Sesame seeds are about the same size as rapeseed seeds.
"If sesame can be harvested, rapeseed can be harvested as well."
Speaking of harvesting, Lin Jiuyue suddenly thought of something called a tarpaulin when harvesting rapeseed in the 21st century.
The tarpaulin hasn't been produced here yet. I'll have to make some myself when the time comes, otherwise it will be difficult to harvest the rapeseed.
"Ah? You want to harvest it like sesame seeds? If you plant all 20 acres of rapeseed, you won't know when you'll be able to harvest it."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
It is definitely impossible to harvest it all by yourself.
But, this is ancient times!
In ancient times, there was not much in abundance except for the population. I only have 20 acres of land, so why should I worry about no one harvesting it?
Although there are no large harvesters, labor is cheap, so I can just hire more people to help when the time comes.
"These are not problems. Now we only need to worry about how to get a good rapeseed harvest!"
"That's right, your worries are unnecessary."
The village chief echoed and then turned his attention to the rapeseed seeds in front of him.
"Miss Lin, how do you sow these rapeseed seeds?"
Lin Jiuyue had Paopao soak the rapeseed seeds in diluted spiritual spring water in advance. Lin Jiuyue was confident that as long as the seeds were sown, it wouldn't be long before lush green rapeseed seedlings would sprout from the field.
"It's very simple. Just spread it evenly on the ground. I've already processed this kind of seeds."
The village chief did not ask Lin Jiuyue how he handled the matter, and just thought that the handling of the matter mentioned by Lin Jiuyue was a "confidential" matter.
Fearing that the village chief and his sons wouldn't know how to operate, Lin Jiuyue first demonstrated the operation. Then the village chief and his sons followed behind and started sowing the seeds.
The field wasn't very large, and there were quite a few people sowing the seeds. It didn't take long before all the seeds were spread.
Lin Jiuyue looked at the seeds that had been planted in the field, and a smile appeared on her face, as if she had seen the scene of a good harvest next year.
Since I came here, I have been eating animal oil.
The rapeseed seeds have been sown now, and by May next year, the rapeseed can be harvested, and then you can drink pure rapeseed oil.
