I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

"No girl! Do you really have to farm like this? Why didn't you take some breakup fee when you left?!"

Qiu Shenji dug the ground with a sense of despair. He had never suffered in his previous life, but now he had to go hungry, be careful not to be killed, and farm the land himself.

"Shut up! What will you eat if you don't farm? Han Dong and I were both high school students, and we never lifted a finger. You're just being dramatic." It's good enough to be able to farm peacefully in these chaotic times. This twenty-something-year-old is being incredibly pretentious.

"Qiu Shenji, if you don't work, Chaoyan and I won't support you! If you don't want to farm and want to live a life of luxury, you can go out and gamble."

Although farming was tiring, Chao Yan, being a girl, didn't complain. Besides, she had always been pampered by Ying Zheng, so she had never suffered like this before. Thinking of this, Han Dong worked even harder. Now that Lin Chao Yan was his own sister and he wasn't strong enough, he took over all the housework.

"Asagao, from now on, Qiu Shenji, Du Ming, and I will take over the housework. If he doesn't want to, then get out."

"No, I just complained a bit, I didn't say I was unwilling! Why does that dumb chicken do absolutely nothing? It eats for free and can't even lay eggs. It's unbelievable how the system has become!"

Despite his grumbling, he didn't stop working. The four of them worked together and quickly cleared three plots of land. While the others were loosening the soil, Lin Chao dug ditches to bring water from the river. Since rice cultivation requires a lot of water, Lin Chaoyan chose a spot in the mountains with abundant water.

The appearance of the house startled the other three. Although Han Dong already knew that her cheat was a movable house, he was still so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw it with his own eyes.

Qiu Shenji opened his mouth wide but couldn't speak for a long time, wondering whether he should teach Lin Chaoyan his ancestral Taoist techniques so that he wouldn't be taking advantage of her.

Du Ming had long known, through Gao Qiu's subtle and overt hints, that his master was no ordinary mortal; he never imagined she was truly an immortal. To be able to serve and follow an immortal was a blessing he could never attain in several lifetimes!

Lin Chaoyan wasn't interested in their ideas; growing crops was her top priority. This task wasn't difficult for her, but she didn't want to show off by working too hard and would take breaks, so it took her three whole days to complete a two-kilometer-long ditch.

"Girl, did you study agriculture before?" This efficiency is incredible! In less than a week, you've cultivated two acres of rice paddies, two acres of wheat fields, and three acres of vegetable gardens. You've even dug the irrigation ditches. Qiu Shenji suddenly felt utterly incompetent!

"After we finish planting, we'll rest for a few days and then dig a well so we don't have to worry about drinking water. Now that there's war, if there are corpses upstream and it gets contaminated, we'll all be in trouble."

This era cannot withstand the torment of illness, and the two immediately agreed to Lin Chaoyan's idea.

"That makes sense, it's always good to be prepared!"

"Girl! I'll buy some pigs, cows, and sheep to raise in a few days! I'll graze them. You're so skinny, a gust of wind could blow you away, you need to eat more meat." But how do you raise a castrated pig? And nobody knows how right now. Thinking this, Qiu Shenji looked up at Lin Chaoyan.

"Buy it if you have enough money, forget it if you don't. Why are you looking at me like that?" This guy is really unsettling. Lin Chaoyan frowned slightly.

"Don't frown! It's so heartbreaking! I just wanted to ask if you know how to castrate a pig?" It was definitely inappropriate to ask a girl this question, but he felt that Lin Chaoyan certainly did.

"...I'll come to castrate them then. Now, let's quickly start cultivating rice seedlings so we can transplant them in June. Tomorrow, we'll plant wheat, peppers, eggplants, cabbages, cucumbers, radishes, and green beans. We need to plant all of these too." Having once killed more than thirty pigs while castrating them, Lin Chaoyan continued, saying "Amitabha, I'm so sorry."

When I have free time, I'll plant some watermelons and cantaloupes!

The seedlings should be about 40 days old, with 5-7 leaves on the main stem. The leaves should be upright, green with a hint of yellow, and the plant should be 15-20 cm tall. There should be 1-2 tillers, and the stem base should be flat, thick, and elastic. There should be many root primordia, with many white roots and no black roots, pests, or diseases. This is the foundation for ensuring the growth of rice.

During the seedling stage, timely watering and fertilization are also necessary. Before the three-leaf stage, the focus should be on dry growth, after which appropriate watering can be applied. For seedbeds that have become alkaline, the bed should be washed with water and fertilized promptly. When the seedlings are 35-40 days old, watering should be stopped to harden them off, allowing their tissues to mature and adapt to the external environment, thus improving their resistance to adverse conditions.

"Girl, how do you know so much? Was your family a farming tycoon before you transmigrated?" Lin Chaoyan recited a textbook-like amount of knowledge about rice seedling cultivation, which completely overwhelmed Qiu Shenji's brain.

"You've been farming for years, so you probably know more than I do. Besides, I have books—agriculture, medicine, technology, military, novels, comics, plus the books I copied in the Qin Palace, probably over five million volumes. The top floor of this villa is a library; you can go take a look if you need it." After absorbing that person's power, this small villa has grown into a large villa; after absorbing a few more, it might even become a palace.

"Look! Although she didn't get a breakup fee, she took knowledge with her! The minds of intellectuals are just different." Reading? Do you think I, Qiu Shenji, am someone who reads? Impossible, off to cultivate seedlings!

"Asagao, would it be inconvenient for me to go and see?" After all, it's a girl's private room, and it's definitely not convenient for a boy like me to go and see. How about I borrow it to go and see?

"No, my bedroom is separate from the library; it's basically like a living room. You can go anytime you want. You applied to an agricultural university, right? You can take a look."

The science whiz's dream is to attend an agricultural university; I bet others would be furious if they knew. The first ones to be furious would probably be his twisted parents.

After busying themselves for half a day, the science whiz was studying cooking with a book in hand, meticulously calculating down to the milligrams. Qiu Shenji couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him to start the fire, resulting in Han Dong's hair being burned and his face covered in ash.

Qiu Shenji was only slightly better than him, not even a fraction of a second better. In the end, Du Ming, seeing the culinary disaster, snatched the spatula from Qiu Shenji and sent Han Dong to wash the vegetables, while Qiu Shenji went to start the fire.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings who do nothing but eat nothing. If it weren't for me, the master would be driven crazy by you."

"If you wash vegetables but not your face, do you want to eat dust?"

Lin Chaoyan was happily gutting a fish; this was the first time she had done so in years. Having been pampered and waited on hand and foot, she was still a little unaccustomed to doing it herself.

Du Ming, who had just finished stir-frying a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, turned around and found his master cleaning a fish. He was so heartbroken that tears streamed down his face.

"Oh dear, Master, you can leave it to me! You are too precious to do this kind of work."

"I've cleaned it! We'll braise this fish."

Precious and esteemed? If it weren't for Ah Zheng's flattery, I wouldn't be anything special. With someone pampering me, I can be a little spoiled, but without that, I'm just an ordinary person!

"Master, I promised Master I would serve you well. Now you're working in the fields and killing fish, how can I live up to Master's expectations?" Du Ming cried as he prepared to cook the fish. Lin Chaoyan gave him remote guidance, but Du Ming started to cry again when she got closer. She sprinkled some salt on the oil to prevent it from sticking to the pan, and prepared scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers.

I made braised fish, shredded pork with green peppers, spicy rabbit cubes, stir-fried mushrooms, and also a wild vegetable and egg soup.

The four of them ate until their bellies were round. Lin Chaoyan patted her belly and exclaimed, "Stir-fried dishes are indeed the best! Xiao Du is really amazing, his culinary talent is extraordinary! I'll teach you a few more dishes in the future. But you can't tell anyone, okay? If you tell anyone, I'm doomed. Stir-fried dishes only existed in the Song Dynasty."

"Don't worry, Master, it won't get out. My apprentice will only cook for you after he learns it." Master's recipes are even better than those of the royal chefs in the palace! So this is how food can be cooked!

Lin Chaoyan was helpless! She was in great pain. This pain was like wearing fine clothes but only being able to travel at night.

Qiu Shenji exclaimed in surprise, "Girl, come quick! The rabbits have given birth again!"

"You've got even more work to do!" The mother rabbit has two uteruses and gives birth to seven or eight kittens a month, so she already has twelve. Add to that a calf, two horses, two pigs, two sheep, and five chickens.

He has now given birth to another litter of nearly twenty rabbits, which is far more than he can eat, but he is reluctant to release them back into the wild.

Qiu Shenji's farm life is very colorful, but shoveling manure can make him feel terrible.

"Hey girls, what are you two staring at this pile of shit for?" The mountain of shit in front of him was disgusting.

Han Dong and Lin Chaoyan both sighed at the same time.

"Compost!"

Seeing Qiu Shenji's blank expression, the two exchanged a glance, and Lin Chaoyan decided to let Han Dong explain.

“In ancient times, before chemical fertilizers were available, excrement and decomposed plants were used to make fertilizer, which was then mixed into the soil to supplement the plants with nutrients.”
