Chapter 374 Planting Wheat
That evening, Xiao Siyu told Xiao Siyue that he hadn't been able to persuade Xiao Qinian to let her go out.
Helpless, Xiao Siyue went to find Xiao Qinian herself and told him about the wheat seed. In the end, Xiao Qinian agreed, but then assigned Li Bing, who was beside him, to her.
The next morning, Xiao Siyue saw Li Bing waiting for her at the gate.
"Li Bing, it's been a long time." Indeed, it had been a long time. Li Bing had been extremely busy, not only helping Xiao Qinian train the bodyguards she had cultivated, but also dealing with some of Xiao Qinian's affairs. Xiao Siyue hadn't seen her for a long time.
"Hello, Miss." Li Bing is no longer as cold as before, after all, she now has a wife and children.
Xiao Siyu also greeted Li Bing. He and Li Bing had a deeper relationship, after all, Li Bing was his master, and he had learned martial arts from her before.
The seeds had been delivered to the estate long ago, and the land had already been plowed. Xiao Siyue planned to go and come back quickly, as they needed to return to check the results.
Shi Hai and the others were all considered Li Bing's apprentices, and along the way, apart from Xiao Siyue, they listened to him the most.
Li Bing treated them very well, offering guidance from time to time along the way, which greatly benefited them.
Upon arriving at the estate, they were greeted by Manager Liu as always. In recent years, in order to plant all kinds of seeds, her business has grown more and more, and she has bought and bought land. Chun Tao and Lan Yi usually manage it, and she herself can hardly remember it all.
The land that Steward Liu reserved was close to the manor. She had previously instructed her son that these seeds were very important and that he must check on them frequently.
Actually, the task of planting wheat could be left to Manager Liu, since that's what he usually does. However, she had previously found some scientific planting methods from the system, and she planned to use them this time.
“Miss, I have already gathered the men, we can go directly there.” Steward Liu was particularly respectful to Xiao Siyue. Although Xiao Siyue had not explicitly said anything in the past few years, he was not completely unaware of the news. He naturally knew that several kinds of superior breeds in the Great Zhou came from their manor, and he had also made some guesses about the previous ones.
There's also the papermaking workshop on the estate, something that drives scholars all over the world crazy. Who would have thought that the owner is a young girl who hasn't even reached marriageable age? If people knew that, it would be unbelievable.
Sometimes he felt that his young mistress's abilities were not something that ordinary people possessed; perhaps they were divine.
He felt incredibly lucky to have such a master.
Xiao Siyue was also very satisfied with Manager Liu, who was very perceptive and didn't need her to explain many things to him.
"Okay, let's go then."
When they arrived at their destination, everyone opened the bags containing the seeds and couldn't help but sigh in amazement. The seeds were plump and better than any seeds they had ever seen.
It's obvious without even thinking that planting these seeds will result in a higher yield than before.
Unlike the others who were surprised and shocked, Steward Liu showed an expression of knowing it was true. The seeds brought by their young lady could not be anything ordinary.
"Everyone, get started quickly and be careful not to waste the seeds," Manager Liu skillfully directed the tenants to begin planting.
During this time, Xiao Siyue also told Manager Liu about the methods she had obtained from the system. Manager Liu discussed it with several experienced farmers and, based on their own experience, applied it to the project.
With everyone working together in perfect harmony, they began planting wheat. Xiao Siyue didn't go back; she just watched them from the shore.
"Little sister, all of your subordinates are quite capable." Xiao Siyu looked at the busy Steward Liu with admiration, while also feeling a little envious. Why couldn't she handle the task so easily?
"That's right, your sister is very capable, so naturally my subordinates can't be lagging behind." Xiao Siyue gave Xiao Siyu a smug look, her proud appearance was incredibly cute.
"Haha, look at you, so shameless." Xiao Siyu was amused by his sister's appearance and tapped Xiao Siyue's forehead with amusement.
"Hmph, just tell me if I'm amazing or not." Xiao Siyue raised her chin arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, yes, our little sister is the most amazing, absolutely unique in the world." Xiao Siyu said obediently, which was rare for him.
"You have good taste." Xiao Siyue was pleased.
A group of about a hundred people finished planting fifty acres of land in just one hour.
"Miss, all the seeds have been planted," Manager Liu reported to Xiao Siyue.
"Yes, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of these seeds from now on. They are very important, and they are the only seeds we have. They absolutely cannot have any problems." The system's rewards for her are always different; if she loses them, then she'll truly have nothing left.
“Miss, this is all I should do. You can rest assured to entrust this place to me. I will protect these fields with my own life.” Manager Liu naturally understood and immediately swore an oath to Xiao Si.
“I trust Manager Liu to handle things. Now that the seeds have been planted, we should leave.” Xiao Siyue looked at the sky; it was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain.
"Miss, won't you stay for a meal? It looks like it's going to rain. Perhaps you could stay a little longer for a meal, in case it starts pouring on the way." Manager Liu, who often dealt with such matters, was quite confident in his ability to read the weather. He estimated that a heavy rain would start in less than half an hour.
Xiao Siyue thought this was a good idea, and there was no rush. She glanced at Xiao Siyu, and when he nodded, she agreed.
"Alright, let's go back after the rain."
"Miss, I'll have the kitchen prepare lunch immediately. You and the young master can go back to your room and rest for a while." Manager Liu left happily, intending to go to the kitchen to have them prepare more delicious dishes.
There was a separate courtyard reserved for them on the estate, just so that Xiao Siyue and the others could stay there. After returning, Xiao Siyue did not rest immediately, but washed up first. Although she did not do any work herself, she spent a long time in the fields and was covered in dirt.
After washing up, I went to bed and rested for a while. Before it was time to eat, it started raining heavily outside. Luckily, it wasn't a downpour, otherwise the wheat I planted today would probably have been ruined.
While rainwater can promote seed germination, heavy rain can easily cause seeds to shift, resulting in uneven seed distribution and affecting the uniformity of seedling emergence.
Another issue is that low temperatures can actually slow down the germination rate of seeds.
However, judging from the current rainfall, nothing bad should happen. Today's rain came too suddenly; it was a sunny day when it arrived.
