Chapter 55: Developing Agriculture and Teaching the Beast-eared Girls to Plant Potatoes
The Beast-eared Girls heard Lin Ye’s instructions and immediately got to work.
With over thirty Beast-eared Girls working together, a large open space was quickly cleared.
Seeing that it was almost ready, Lin Ye took out the one hundred potato sprouts from his Storage Space and placed them in a wooden bucket.
Then, he spoke to the Beast-eared Girls who were still clearing weeds.
“It’s ready, everyone come over here.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s voice, the Beast-eared Girls raised their heads one after another.
They saw Lin Ye holding a wooden bucket and waving at them.
The Beast-eared Girls threw aside the weeds in their hands and walked over to Lin Ye.
The Beast-eared Girls saw that the wooden bucket in Lin Ye’s hand was full of potato sprouts.
Then they asked,
“Ye, are all of these potato sprouts?”
“With so many potato sprouts, how should we plant them?”
Lin Ye placed the wooden bucket on the ground and took one out.
Then, he said,
“Everyone take one and follow me.”
Lin Ye then took a potato sprout and walked to the land that had just been cleared.
The Beast-eared Girls also followed, each holding a potato sprout.
Holding the potato sprouts, the Beast-eared Girls looked at Lin Ye with doubt.
Lin Ye walked to the center of the cleared area and stopped. He then turned around and began to teach the Beast-eared Girls how to plant potatoes.
“First, everyone needs to spread out, and no one should be too close to each other.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls immediately began to spread out.
Lin Ye observed for a moment, adjusted everyone’s positions, and then nodded, continuing,
“Next, everyone should dig a hole at your feet, deep enough to fit your foot.”
Lin Ye then crouched down and dug a hole, demonstrating for the Beast-eared Girls.
The Beast-eared Girls nodded blankly and then, following Lin Ye’s instructions, crouched down and dug a hole.
When Lin Ye saw that everyone had dug their holes, he picked up a potato sprout and said to them,
“Watch carefully, this is very important. Place the potato piece into the soil. Be careful, the green sprout on the potato piece must face upwards.”
Lin Ye pointed to the small potato sprout on the potato piece in his hand and emphasized it to the Beast-eared Girls.
Then, he pressed the potato piece in his hand into the soil with a little force.
The Beast-eared Girls followed Lin Ye’s actions and placed the potato pieces into the soil.
Lin Ye was still a little worried, so he walked around all the Beast-eared Girls.
He looked at all the potato sprouts.
As a result, Lin Ye found that these Beast-eared Girls were very serious in everything they did.
Not a single Beast-eared Girl planted it incorrectly.
Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction.
Then he said to the Beast-eared Girls,
“This is considered planting the potatoes. All you need to do is water the small hole and then cover it up.”
Hearing Lin Ye say that the potatoes were planted, the Beast-eared Girls all looked happily at the potatoes they had planted.
“So planting potatoes is this simple.”
“If we just plant them like this, will we have endless potatoes to eat?”
“There are still more than half of the potato sprouts left in the bucket, let’s plant all those potato sprouts.”
“Yes, there’s still such a large empty space left, let’s plant all the potato sprouts.”
Lin Ye listened to the Beast-eared Girls’ discussion and smiled, nodding.
There was indeed a large empty space left, so they naturally had to plant all the potato sprouts.
However, Lin Ye did not expect the Beast-eared Girls to be so enthusiastic.
They didn’t need him to tell them; they voluntarily brought the wooden bucket over.
Then they started looking for places to dig holes and place potato pieces again.
What Lin Ye didn’t know was that in the eyes of the Beast-eared Girls, he was almost like a god.
All the Beast-eared Girls had a blind admiration for Lin Ye.
Ever since Lin Ye said that planting potatoes would lead to endless food,
the Beast-eared Girls had never doubted the truth of Lin Ye’s words.
This was also the reality; Lin Ye had never lied to them.
Therefore, the Beast-eared Girls would unconditionally trust anything Lin Ye said.
Over thirty Beast-eared Girls, each planting three potato sprouts, planted all one hundred potato sprouts.
“Didn’t Lin Ye just say that after planting the potato sprouts, we need to water them?”
“Right, I’ll go get water.”
“Wait for me, I’ll go too.”
“But there’s only one water bucket.”
“I’ll go to the cave to get one, I’ll be back soon.”
Lin Ye stood aside watching the busy Beast-eared Girls.
A gentle smile played on his lips.
He secretly vowed to protect these beautiful and lovely Beast-eared Girls.
At this moment, the Beast-eared Girl who had gone to fetch water returned with a bucket.
Holding the bucket, she was about to pour all the water into one hole.
Lin Ye quickly stopped her.
He then told her that about a cup of water per hole would be enough.
Other Beast-eared Girls also returned from the cave with empty buckets.
When everyone had watered each small hole and then covered it up,
everyone was covered in dirt.
But everyone’s face was beaming with happy smiles.
Thinking of having endless food in the future, the Beast-eared Girls were genuinely happy.
