When Zheng Sisi and others arrived at the field, they saw from a distance that most of the people working were women, and some were children around ten years old. They followed the adults to clean up the weeds they had dug up.

This place is backed by a mountain and has high terrain, so it must have become dry land because there is no water available.

Zheng Sisi approached them and paid special attention to the hoes they were using, which were all straight and lacked the modern diversity.

Zheng Sisi walked around the field and saw that the geology of the land was very good and the fertility was sufficient, so it was suitable for growing corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Considering the soaking time of the rice, she didn't go up the hillside anymore. She went back today and there would be plenty of time to go shopping later.

The third prince and his companions were like a tail, doing nothing and knowing nothing as they followed Zheng Sisi back to the yard.

The Third Prince and his several noble sons didn't know how to farm and couldn't get a say. Xia Sicheng and Uncle Li didn't know what Zheng Sisi was going to do and couldn't get a say either.

Back in the yard, Zheng Sisi looked at the time. It was almost time, so she asked the Third Prince and others to pour the soaked rice seeds into baskets, and then move them to the warm room and cover them with quilts after the water had drained out.

From now on, you can just soak the rice seeds in water depending on the situation every day. This just takes time.

Xia Sicheng was standing by with a pen and a book, carefully recording everything, fearing that he would make a mistake. After recording everything, he would ask Zheng Sisi to look it over again. Zheng Sisi would always explain it to him patiently.

After doing all this, Zheng Sisi said to the third prince: "You can spend the rest of the time as you please. I have something to do."

The Third Prince: "Do you need my help?"

Zheng Sisi: "Yes, I saw the farm tools they used just now, they are too simple, inefficient and laborious. My master's book records a lot of farm tools. I want to recall and see if I can draw them. Then I need you to take them to the Ministry of Industry to make them."

The Third Prince: "Okay, take your time painting, we won't disturb you."

Zheng Sisi returned to the backyard and told the maids not to disturb her because she had something to think about. She then went to her room to study slowly.

After making sure that there was no one around and it was safe, Zheng Sisi entered the space and went straight to the utility room on the second floor, which was filled with tools that her grandparents had used before. She searched for a while and pulled out a curved plow from it. It was an old-fashioned model, but much better than what they were using now, and it was labor-saving and lightweight.

Zheng Sisi picked it up. It wasn't very heavy. Maybe it hadn't been used for a long time, and the wood was cracked. She planned to take it down and copy it.

When I came to the study, I found that there was no paper again. I had no choice. I left the space and found a stack of paper in the box. I thought that my level of drawing with a brush was still a little lacking, so I ran to the kitchen to find two unburned sticks before returning to the room.

She might as well take the curved plow out of the space and draw it directly in the room to prevent others from noticing that she was not in the room. It would also be convenient if someone came and could just fold the space away.

Zheng Sisi calmed down before taking a wooden stick to copy on paper. It looked like just a few simple lines, but it was quite difficult to draw them. She destroyed several pieces of paper before she was able to draw the plowshare of the curved plow, which was the iron part.

Then he lowered his head to draw, and he needed to draw the wooden frame and the entire curved plow. After wasting five or six pieces of paper, Zheng Sisi was satisfied. He took a few pieces of paper and compared them back and forth, and only put them down when he felt there was no problem.

She put the curved plow into the space and slipped in. She was still looking for the pattern of the hoe. These two were for urgent use, and she would draw the other ones when she had time.

The hoe was found quickly and Zheng Sisi took out the space. The hoe was simple in style and it was successful after only two strokes.
