Qi Yin laughed. “It’s okay, I have the time.”
“Alright, alright. Thank you.” Liu Guixia laughed twice in response.
Qi Yin then returned to the house.
At this time, Xue Dafu had already gotten to know the people who sent the seeds here. As soon as they arrived at the door, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and Xue Erfu warmly invited these people in for tea.
The people who came to send the seedlings were Shao Zhongxi’s subordinates. They had originally planned to leave after sending the seedlings, but Xue Dafu and the others were too enthusiastic for them to reject. After the baskets were unloaded from the carriage, they could only go in and have a cup of tea.
It was not until these people left that Liu Guixia and the others surrounded the green seedlings in the basket and looked at them. They could not make up their minds.
“How should we plant these seedlings? Should we plant them more densely or sparsely?”
This was cumin. The planting method was usually to spread the seeds and drill them. However, even if it was drilled, the seeds would be evenly scattered in the strips. In short, it just needed some simple sowing.
If it was scattered, it would be dense.
It was not easy to plant cumin seeds directly now. Only Jiang Yue could raise seedlings professionally in her space because of the conditions.
“It would be a waste of land if the seeds were planted sparsely at home. Just now, when the guards who sent the seedlings were drinking tea, they mentioned that when the local people saw these things grow on the mountain, they were densely packed! ”
“It’s also because they were densely packed before that there were so many new seedlings. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to dig so many of these at once. We should plant them more densely so that we can plant more of them on one acre of land.’
When Shao Zhongxi and his men were drinking tea, Liu Guixia and the others were chatting with them. They asked why there were so many seedlings and whether they were dug from the same place. Those people secretly looked at Jiang Yue, and she nodded. Only then did those people say that they were dug from the same place. They said that there were many seedlings in the wild in that place. They thought it was strange, so they dug them up. They also said that they would look for other places to see if there were any. If there were any, they would dig them up for them to plant.
“Right, right, right. We should plant it more closely.” Xue Dafu and the others felt that it made sense and nodded hurriedly.
Jiang Yue did not say that it was best to plant cumin in an interplanting manner. It could be planted that way with cotton, or it could be naturally planted with corn, or… In short, this method would not only increase the yield of cumin, but it could also increase the utilization rate of the land.
It could also increase their profits in the long run.
However, it was not appropriate to tell Xue Dafu and the others about this.
Moreover, corn, cotton, and other crops had already been planted. If they entered the corn and cotton fields and planted cumin in the gaps, they might accidentally trample on the corn and cotton seedlings.
Moreover, if they were to plant cumin in this way, it would be best to sow cumin seeds instead of seedlings.
Since they had decided to plant it more carefully, there was naturally no need to wait. Xue Dafu immediately urged Xue Erfu to tell the hired people. “Tell them that our family has seedlings. We need help to plant them again.” “Alright, I’ll go now!” Xue Erfu immediately left happily.
When Xue Erfu called over the people he hired to plant the plants, everyone carried a basket of strong seedlings and each took a small shovel to plant them. They went to the barren land on the mountain to plant.
The barren land had already been tidied up. When they reached the barren land, they could directly plant it.
There were so many baskets of strong seedlings. Although there were many people, each person still carried a full basket. With just one trip, their baskets were only a little bit lighter. Those who were very physically strong had a bigger basket and moved back and forth..
