Then, Lin Yuelan immediately noticed that the blush on Jiang Zhennan’s face had quickly shifted to his neck. It was obvious that he was embarrassed.
Jiang Zhennan’s face was red, and his ears were buzzing. He lowered his head and no longer wanted to answer Lin Yuelan’s question.
A 12-year-old girl was asking a 24-year-old man if he was still a virgin. This was too much for him to accept.
The people in ancient times were very conservative. Other than those flirtatious young masters, normal people would not talk like this.
Lin Yuelan saw that Jiang Zhennan’s entire body had turned red, like a cooked shrimp, and she suddenly felt that it was interesting and fun.
Hence, she continued to tease him. “You’re all red. One look, and I can tell that you’re embarrassed. It looks like our general will still be in this state for quite some time.” Lin Yuelan looked at the moon and said with a strange smile, “I wonder which girl will be so lucky to enjoy the general’s tenderness, and first time in the future. She must be very lucky, don’t you agree, general?”
Lin Yuelan’s teasing was too much for the general, who had never had any contact with a woman since he was three or four years old.
He picked up the medic kit and quickened his pace. It was obvious that he was running away.
Lin Yuelan, who was walking behind, laughed even louder.
Lin Yuelan had no idea that she would eventually become that lucky woman.
…
The next day, Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing, and the others followed Lin Yuelan’s instructions and opened the seeds in the cloth bags.
It was already the fifth day since the seeds had been wrapped in the bag. The seeds should have sprouted.
Guo Bing and the others were very surprised. Most of the seeds had sprouted. A few were quite stubborn still.
Guo Bing said excitedly, “boss, all of them have sprouted. This is amazing!”
In the past, they would scatter the grain seeds in the fields and then let nature take its course. However, due to factors like water source and climate, most seeds wouldn’t germinate.To the farmers, this was a huge loss of food and money.
Lin Yuelan taught them a new method that was far more effective.
“Boss, are we just going to scatter the seedlings into the fields?” Little twelve said with excitement.
He was also a child from the countryside. In a few years, when the country was no longer at war and the Imperial court could let them retire, he would also go home to farm. Now that he had learned something new, how could he not be excited?
Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said seriously, “Miss Yue ‘Er said that we’ll now let the seedlings grow in the nursery.”
“Nursery?” The three kids didn’t know what that was. Lin Yuelan only explained the concept to Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing. “What’s a nursery?”
Guo Bing answered them, “Basically, the nursery is a plot of specially prepared soil. We will plant these seedlings there. When the seedlings have three or four leaves, we will then transplant them into the fields.”
Little Three and the others didn’t understand. They asked in confusion, “Why would we do that? That’s so troublesome.”
Jiang Zhennan looked at the seedlings in the cloth bag and said seriously, “this is a little troublesome, but Miss Yue ‘Er said that this way, the grain production will be higher. If the seeds are carefully grown, we will be able to get at least six or seven catties of harvest per mu.”
Little Three and the others opened their mouths in surprise. Little Six was the first to react. He stammered in disbelief and asked, “boss, is… Is this true?”
It was noteworthy that the best harvest of the current method was four to five catties. With Lin Yuelan’s method, they would get an extra one to two catties per Mu.
When the farm was large with plenty of Mus, the extra catties would increase by a lot.
