Chapter 411 Men and Women are Different(2)_1
The remaining day laborers were envious when they saw Zhou Dasheng’s family being retained and also professed a desire to work.
Cui Da retained some handy and capable individuals, instructing them to go to the clearing the next day to sort out the ditches.
Most people had tasks to do, and the few remaining were found by other villagers. Everyone was delighted.
"Ziyin, is it possible to grow white radishes and bok choy on all these fields at once?" Lin Changshu asked, finding it surreal to look at the well-leveled wheat field. Over a dozen mu* of wheat usually took less than two hours to harvest, and now the fields were already plowed and seeded. The more he thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.
"We should plant white radishes while the weather is still hot; by the time it cools down, we’ll be ready to harvest and pickle them," Lin Ziyin explained.
After the white radishes, the most widely planted crops would still be bok choy and soup greens.
"Will it be on time?" Despite Lin Ziyin’s confidence, Lin Changshu was a little worried. He himself was an experienced farmer too, but he had never heard of planting two crops in the Northern Land.
"The pickled vegetables don’t need to be too aged, so the vegetables harvested when the weather cools down will be just right," Lin Ziyin explained. "Brother, it’s a waste to leave the wheat fields idle. I just want to try. Anyway, if the harvest is good, it’s a good thing. If it doesn’t grow well, at most we’ve lost some vegetable seeds."
This reasoning was sound, and Lin Changshu stopped protesting. He laughed, looking at Lin Ziyin, "You have so many ideas, I can’t keep up with you."
"I’m just trying, I can’t guarantee success," Lin Ziyin laughed in response.
