Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Whose Threat (3)_1
“”You two give it a try,” Lin Ziyin said to the two young wives from the village.

The women went straight to work. They were not naturally gifted in such tasks, but they were diligent and familiar with fieldwork. Lin Ziyin instructed them on how to cut the chives, and they quickly got the hang of it.

“After snipping the roots, it’s ready for planting,” Lin Ziyin said. “I’ll show you how.”

She put on leather gloves and began to dig shallow trenches in the prepared soil. Into these trenches, she arranged the chives in a row. An important step was to cover them with a thick layer of plant ash, known as yong. After being transplanted, chives can grow fat and easy to cut, she explained.

Indeed, the planted chives now formed neat rows, evenly spaced.

“After each harvest, you must promptly replenish the fertilizer. I will also bring you a comb for the soil in a few days,” Lin Ziyin instructed seriously. “Chives’ soil can’t be left hard and dry, it needs to be combed regularly.”

“Even soil can be combed?” Si Jinhan asked, looking at her curiously.
