The transplanting speed was faster than Lin Yuelan had expected. Of course, she didn’t know that the soldiers were faster than farmers when it came to farming work. This was thanks to the strength and speed they had trained in the Army.
During this time, Lin Yiwei heard from his eldest son about the unique way Lin Yuelan had planted the field. He was curious and puzzled, so he came over to ask.
“Lan ‘Er,” Lin Yiwei called Lin Yuelan and said, “I heard from Liang ‘Er that you have a unique way of planting rice. It involves things like space, distance, fertilizer, and so on, right?”
Lin Yuelan nodded, “Yes, Grandpa Village Chief.”
Lin Yiwei immediately asked in bewilderment and worry, “but can the seedlings survive like this? Isn’t it too risky?”
Because they had never tried it before, no one knew if the seedlings could survive after being pulled out of the ground and planted again.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “Grandpa Village Chief, I don’t know either. However, it was the King of Hell who showed me this method in my dreams. He said that I could get a big harvest with this.”
Internally, she muttered, ‘The King of Hell is a really good excuse. It can be used to cover up my punishment and the sudden acquisition of new knowledge.’ Lin Yuelan had no idea how long this excuse could last, but she knew that she would be powerful enough when she didn’t need this excuse anymore.
Lin Yiwei was puzzled. “The King of Hell?”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “that’s right. You know, the King of Hell is in charge of the life and death of the world. Many amazing individuals have gone through his hall. Some of them shared their knowledge. One of them was a capable farmer. He had his secret farming technique. The King of Hell heard it and shared it with me. So I’m giving it a try.”
Even though Lin Yiwei didn’t quite believe the story about the King of Hell, he had no evidence to prove that she was lying. If anything, he had seen many proofs that she was telling the truth. For example, Lin Yuelan said that she would cure his Qing ‘Er’s illness, and that was what she did. Since Lin Yuelan said this was a technique taught to her by the King of Hell, he believed her.
Lin Yiwei stroked his slightly long beard and said with a smile, “since that’s the case, Grandpa village chief will definitely support you with all his might. If you need Grandpa village chief’s help in any way, feel free to ask. I will definitely do my best to help you within my capabilities.”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “thank you, Grandpa village chief!”
In just two days, five or six men had transplanted the seedlings in the five mu of land.
After that, Lin Yuelan became a hands-off manager, telling them how to check the growth and development of the seedlings, when to fertilize them, when to hoe the weeds, and finally, to keep the water source in the fields from drying up.
Before the apocalypse, Lin Yuelan was also from the city, but her grandmother lived in the countryside, so she knew a bit about farming from her grandmother. Furthermore, during the apocalypse, some of her partners were farmers in the countryside, and she learned a lot from them as they would take about farming every day. She picked up tips like what to plant during what season and so on.
Therefore, even though she had never really farmed before, she could manage people to do it for her.
Moreover, Jiang Zhennan and the others were also very happy to plant these five acres of land. They wanted to see if the yield had increased.
“Miss Yue ‘Er, now that the seedlings have been transplanted, what’s the next step?” Jiang Zhennan asked in a very serious tone.
