Chapter 44: Spirit Radish and Village Concerns
Then another person guessed five would be enough.
Soon, some villagers were eager to help fertilize and water the radishes, while others felt that treating spirit plants like ordinary crops would be an insult to their nature.
For issues like these, they could debate for a long time, yet everyone spoke with great enthusiasm.
It sounded like an argument, but the atmosphere was actually quite good.
In the end, it was Second Uncle who snapped out of his thoughts first.
Seeing them making a commotion one after another, he finally drove them all away.
Bok Taejin had assumed that Second Uncle would also leave.
However, once everyone else had walked away, Second Uncle lowered his voice and asked, "Taejin, tell me honestly—how many days do these spirit plants of yours take to mature? And how big will the final harvest be? Do you really not know?"
Bok Taejin thought for a moment and answered, "I only know that it’s called a One-Star White Radish. It’s resistant to both cold and heat and can grow in all seasons."
Second Uncle frowned again.
He stared at the vegetable field for a long while before sighing deeply. "Seeing how fast they’re growing, I worry about how much fertility they’re absorbing from the soil. I actually overheard some of their conversation just now. Those little rascals are already thinking about taking seeds from your radishes once they’re harvested. If they get the seeds, they plan to plant them so the entire village can have radishes easily."
