Guan Ning nodded: "Yes, that's where it is."

The woman showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "I think this must have been dropped by me when I went to collect herbs not long ago."

"Thank you."

Guan Ning smiled and said, "No need."

"Girl, you keep busy. I won't bother you."

As he said this, he prepared to leave. Although the result was not satisfactory, at least he tried his best.

The woman was in a trance for a moment. It was the first time she saw a strange man smile, and he looked quite handsome when he smiled.

"Wait." She shouted belatedly.

Guan Ning turned around: "Miss, is there anything else?"

"Hmm..." The woman stretched out her voice, pursed her lips, and seemed a little embarrassed to look at him.

"You said it's a farming problem. Maybe I can help you."

"You?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows. Although she was a farm girl, she didn't look like a woman who worked in the fields all year round.

"What's wrong with me?" the woman laughed.

Guan Ning glanced at the vegetable garden next to him and said in disbelief, "You're not going to tell me that you planted these vegetables, are you?"

"Could it be this?" the woman joked, pointing at the big black dog, which barked twice.

Guan Ning and Sheng Qi looked at each other in surprise.

"Really you?"

"Really!" the woman laughed. "Do I look that different?"

Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "A little bit."

"Look at your fair skin, you don't look like a laborer. Your hands are as soft as jade, you don't look like someone who's transplanting rice!"

Such compliments were very ambiguous in this era, especially for a woman living in seclusion in the mountains. Her face immediately turned rosy and translucent, and she felt embarrassed but also a little happy to be praised.

This was the first time she felt her heart beating faster.

"I……"

"You, tell me, what's your problem?" She changed the subject, not daring to look at Guan Ning, and hid her hands.

Guan Ning became serious and tentatively said, "The grain production in our area is not very high, so I would like to ask if there is any way to increase the yield of grain per acre of land?"

"For example, your vegetable garden."

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded repeatedly and had already developed some initial trust in Guan Ning.

He said seriously, "This is not difficult. I'll give you some grass powder and insect powder. You can take it back and sprinkle it on the ground to improve it."

"Also, we can make some adjustments based on factors like weather, sunlight, and water sources. It's probably..."

""......

She spoke a lot in a familiar manner, leaving Shengqi and the other two completely confused. Is farming so troublesome?

But Guan Ning's eyes lit up. After all, he was a time traveler and knew a lot. This woman actually mentioned that a shed was built with cloth!

This is a concept from later generations, greenhouse vegetables!

The so-called grass powder and insect powder are most likely the same as chemical fertilizers.

Guan Ning was skeptical at first, but after listening to it, he was completely excited.

"girl!"

"Can you help me?"

"We have a lot of land where we are, and most of it is barren. The annual harvest is very low. You are the capable person I am looking for!" He made a direct invitation. Even if he didn't find the old immortal, he estimated that this girl would be good too. Just look at the vegetable garden.

Sheng Qi and the other two standing by looked confused.

Aren't you looking for the old immortal? Why is it this girl again?

Could it be that the prince is attracted by her beauty?

The woman was overwhelmed by the sudden request and suddenly said shyly: "You don't have to be like this."

"I, I'll give you some extra mealworm powder. I have plenty here, so it doesn't cost you any money."

Guan Ning shook his head like a rattle: "No!"

"I don't want your grass powder and insect powder, I want you!"

Guan Ning could still tell the difference between one meal being full and another. Moreover, things like weather, sunshine, and water sources all required experience to judge. Knowing this knowledge did not necessarily mean that one could do it well.

The fact that there are so many old farmers in Shu is enough to illustrate this point.

"Ah?" The woman was startled, her heart was flustered, and her cheeks turned even redder.

"Ohhhh, no no no."

"That's not what I meant. I want you to go to Shu and help me teach the farmers how to farm."

"Of course, I don't do it for free..."

"Pooh!" Guan Ning slapped himself on the mouth. His tongue was clumsy. Fortunately, this girl lived in seclusion and had no idea about prostitution.

"What I mean is that I won't ask you for help in vain. If you make any requests, I will try my best to meet them."

"Your dog and your family can come with me. The people in Shu are simple and leisurely. If you don't like being disturbed, I promise that no one will appear within a ten-mile radius of where you live!" Guan Ning spoke like a machine gun, fearing that the woman would refuse.

The woman stood there in a daze, her eyes slightly absent-minded.

"You, you mean you want to take me away?" she asked uncertainly, her eyes, as clear as flowing water, flickering with a sense of surprise, as she looked at Guan Ning closely.

At this moment, Guan Ning felt a little embarrassed. What kind of look was that?

"Forehead……"

"Correct!"

The woman trembled noticeably, and her face looked a little unnatural.

"I……"

"I will think about it."

With that, she fled back to her room, slammed the door shut, propped her back against it, her chest heaving as she took deep breaths.

Danchun murmured to himself: "Could it be him?"

"Grandpa once predicted that many years from now, someone would come to this vast land of Nanling, find me, and take me away. This person would be the one I would spend my life with."
