"I mentioned earlier that the winter melon had wilt disease. It is actually very simple to prevent this wilt disease. All you need to do is rotate the crops."

"Crop rotation?" The man didn't understand.

Gu Yin nodded: "Crop rotation means planting different crops in sequence between seasons or before the end of the year on the same piece of land. For example, if you planted winter melon on this piece of land this year, you can't plant it again next year, otherwise there will be bacteria in the soil, and if you plant it again next year, it will easily cause wilt disease!"

The man suddenly realized: "No wonder the melon seedlings didn't wither when I planted them the first year!"

"Yes, in fact, there are many crops that are suitable for rotation, such as legumes. Planting legumes on different lands can also increase soil fertility."

"There are other crops that you can try on your own. If you rotate them well, you can greatly increase the yield of the crops."

"So this is actually possible!" The woman who was listening was also quite moved.

"But...Miss, you told us such an important thing, I don't know how to repay you?" The man was a little terrified to get guidance from a young lady from a rich family.

"It's just a little common sense, not much of a reward. If you want to grow winter melons, it's not enough to just know how to prevent and treat blight."

Watermelon can be said to be one of the most difficult fruits to grow. Various diseases emerge one after another. In addition, you must pay attention to the moisture in the field. Too much water will cause the watermelon seedlings to rot, and too little water will cause them to wither. When the watermelon seedlings grow up, they must be pruned, when they bloom, they must be artificially pollinated, and when they bear fruit, the ones that are not growing well must be pruned.

In short, if you grow watermelons, you will be busy all day long!

"Ah? This..." The man was dumbfounded and a little embarrassed. "Then I wonder if Miss can..."

"You want to ask if I can teach you how to grow winter melons, right?" Gu Yin continued his words.

"Yes...but this request is too much. Miss, just pretend you didn't hear it." The man's face flushed a little.

Gu Yin looked at the honest farmer in front of her and felt a little emotional for a moment.

"It's okay to teach you how to grow it, but there's a condition!"

"I agree to any condition!" the man said excitedly.

Gu Yin didn't know what to say: "You agreed before I even mentioned the conditions. Aren't you afraid that I will sell you out directly?"

"How could that be? You can tell from the first glance that the young lady is not that kind of person!" the man said cheerfully.

"Since you said so, I won't give in. I wonder if you are willing to help me?"

"what?"

"I would like to invite you to come to my farm and help me grow winter melons. I will give you one or two taels of silver as monthly salary. If you can grow the melons well, I will give you a certain bonus based on the actual situation!"

The man stood there in a daze without saying a word, which made his wife anxious. She poked him in the elbow secretly and said, "Hurry up and agree to it!"

Seeing that the man was still thinking, the woman quickly said to Gu Yin, "Miss, he will definitely be willing. Just tell him to do it!"

One tael of silver a month!

Where can I find such a job!

At this time, the man also came back to his senses and nodded in response: "As long as the lady teaches me how to grow winter melons, I don't need any money!"

Hearing the man's words, the woman next to him glared at him, then looked at Gu Yin with some worry, fearing that she would really let her man help with the work without paying.

Gu Yin chuckled, "Then I'd be a fool. Don't worry, you'll get the monthly salary. Once you learn how to grow crops, you can even go home and grow them yourself. But you have to help me grow crops for at least five years, and teach one or two apprentices."

"No problem, no problem!" The man was very happy and rubbed his hands happily. "I promise to try my best to grow the winter melon well."

Having successfully recruited another skilled talent, Gu Yin was very happy. After instructing the man to report to the farm, she continued to ride the carriage back home.

The couple who were still there, after finding out that Gu Yin was actually their county lady, felt dizzy as if pie had fallen from the sky.

"So she is the county lady. She is just as approachable as the rumors say..."

Gu Yin returned home, sat in front of her dressing table, and silently checked the things in her system.

I don’t know if it’s because spring has arrived, but after not paying attention for a few days, the system has uploaded a lot of new seeds. There should be dozens of seeds of various fruits and vegetables, including the watermelon seeds she saw on the road just now.

In addition to seeds, the system also provides a number of rhizomes and branches that can be directly grafted.

I didn’t expect the system to be so generous. Now it’s just right for large-scale planting!

Gu Yin turned her head and glanced out the window. It was about to get dark. It was the perfect time to put the seeds in the house in the alley as agreed with Manager Fang.

Thinking of this, Gu Yin found an excuse and walked into the alley.

However, Jun Lan stopped at another street that intersected with the alley entrance.

I saw him frowning slightly, hesitating whether to move forward.

When he heard his cousin say at home that Gu Yin was often with Shi Yuheng, he couldn't control his desire to see Gu Yin immediately, so he quietly went out by himself.

But when they were almost at Gu Yin's house, he hesitated because he didn't know what to say to her when he saw her.

Should I express my feelings to her directly?

But he was not sure whether Gu Yin had any thoughts about him in that regard, and he did not like to do things that he was not sure of...

Just as Jun Lan was about to turn back, he saw Gu Yin walking through the alley in front of him as if nothing had happened...

So I followed...

Before Jun Lan caught up, Gu Yin had already opened the door and went in.

Jun Lan looked at the closed door in front of him, and then took a look at the surrounding environment. It didn't look like anyone lived here, what was Gu Yin doing here?

Thinking of this, Jun Lan frowned again.

Suddenly, Jun Lan seemed to have thought of something, and quietly climbed over the wall...

After Gu Yin walked into the small courtyard, he directly opened one of the rooms.

Standing at the door of the room, he took a look at the area of ​​the room, then glanced at the seeds provided by the system, and estimated that it could be put down.

So, as soon as Gu Yin closed her eyes, the seeds in the system instantly filled the room!

Jun Lan, who had just climbed over the wall, happened to see this scene. His pupils suddenly dizzied, and his hands clinging to the wall unconsciously clenched, and he stood there in shock!

"Rustle..." The sound of soil falling broke the tranquility of the yard.

"Who!" Gu Yin turned her head suddenly.

"Meow~~~" A tabby cat jumped from the wall to the roof.

"It turned out to be a cat..." Gu Yin patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She just estimated that the seeds could fill the room, and since no one usually came here, she just stood at the door and started operating without closing it.

Fortunately, she was not discovered by anyone, otherwise she might have been burned to death by the monster!
