Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Chili seeds are precious. The chili seeds that the villages are going to use this time have all been processed. Soak them in water. After that, you can just sow and breed it. There’s no need to do anything else.”
“Yes, Miss!” Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, “I’ll personally demonstrate the method of soaking in warm water to everyone later.”
Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
They nodded.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue begin to sow the chili seeds.
“Sowing the chili seeds is very simple. You just need to take out the seeds and sprinkle them evenly on the seed bed.”
Lin Xiaoyue said as she skillfully sowed them. In a short while, she had sown a piece of land.
“After sowing the seeds, use a hoe to collect some fine soil from the surroundings. Gently cover the seeds with fine soil.”
After that, she asked a few assistants to copy her actions.
After this step was completed, Lin Xiaoyue continued.
“The next step is to spray water to moisten the soil.”
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue demonstrated again and let the assistant continue the work.
“After you’re done, cover the ground with mulch.”
As soon as Lin Xiaoyue finished speaking, one of the assistants brought over the cloth that had been prepared in advance.
There was no plastic film in ancient times, so Lin Xiaoyue chose fabric to replace it.
Although the effect was not as good as plastic film, it was still passable.
Seeing the assistants follow Lin Xiaoyue’s instructions and cover the seed bed with cloth and then with soil, people were very curious.
“The seeds will sprout in about seven days.”
“After that, we have to water it in time and maintain proper ventilation.”
“Only when the seedlings have grown to this height can the cloth be completely removed.” As Lin Xiaoyue spoke, she made a gesture.
Then, she explained in detail the timing and method of watering and ventilation.
Next, she asked everyone to ask questions, and Lin Xiaoyue answered them one by one.
After that, the representatives sent by the various manors were sent to the other locations to do the sowing.
Lin Xiaoyue watched from the side. If she found something wrong, she would remind them in time to ensure that every representative who came to the Zhou manor to study could learn the sowing method of chili peppers.
Therefore, for the entire day, except for lunch and a short break, everyone was busy at the field.
Before the sky turned dark, with everyone’s hard work, the Zhou manor’s chili seeds were finally sown.
The representatives of the various manors also received their chili seeds and returned to their manors with excitement.
Lin Xiaoyue felt so tired that she fell asleep on the carriage back to Daishi Village.
During dinner, she left the table without eating much.
Then, she returned to her room.
Li Xiao realized that something was not right, so he went to Lin Xiaoyue’s room to ask about the situation.
“It’s nothing. 1 have been idle for too long and was a little tired after a busy day.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a pale face.
“Sleep for a while and you’ll be fine tomorrow.”
“Hurry up and go back to eat. Don’t let mother worry.” As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue even pushed Li Xiao.
Li Xiao frowned.
“Your face doesn’t look right. Did you catch a cold?” As he spoke, his big hand reached out to Lin Xiaoyue’s forehead.
Lin Xiaoyue did not hide and obediently let Li Xiao check on her.
“I don’t have a fever. I’ve already taken a thermometer to measure it.” She said.
“It’s really nothing. I’ll be fine after a night’s rest.”
Seeing that Li Xiao still had no intention of giving up, Lin Xiaoyue continued, “I’ve already done everything today. I won’t go out tomorrow. I’ll rest at home.”
Only then did Li Xiao relax.
“Then I’ll stay at home with you tomorrow.” He said.
Lin Xiaoyue felt warmth in her heart.
“Hmm.”
Then, she asked Li Xiao to tuck her in and closed her eyes to sleep.
She was indeed too tired. After a while, Lin Xiaoyue fell asleep.
Then, she had a dream. She dreamed that she fell into a hole filled with ice. It was so cold that her bones were trembling.
When she woke up from the nightmare, Lin Xiaoyue could still feel the chill and subconsciously tightened the blanket.
At this moment, she realized that her hands and feet were cold, and her lower abdomen was in pain.
At the same time, a warm current flowed from her lower body.
This strange yet familiar feeling made her instantly think of something.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue quickly got off the bed.
After checking, she realized that she was indeed on her period.
Feeling the pain in her lower abdomen, Lin Xiaoyue reached out and patted her forehead. She really didn’t know if she should be happy or uncomfortable at this time.
Before the apocalypse in her previous life, she had also experienced menstrual cramps. When it acted up, she felt like she had nothing to live for.
After the apocalypse, she awakened her superpower and never had any menstrual cramps again..
