Chapter 399 - Planting The Thousand Grain Gold
The weather had turned cold. The air was humid but soon faded after the sun rose.
Shao Xuan brought his small pouch of grains down the hill in search of people to talk to at the designated farm plots.
He had talked to the old lady experienced in farming and today he was going to bring his grains to the old lady for her opinion.
Shao Xuan knew how to farm but there were many plants that he did not recognise in this world because they never appeared on the other side. He had spent the past few years working hard to memorise the herbs and plants of this world only to find himself a beginner once again after arriving on this side. Although he knew a few, the main crops and their characteristics differed from the ones on the other side. All he could do was talk to the experienced farmers.
The farmlands extended from the middle to the foot of the hill. These plots of land were divided, every square shared by several families. However, the tribe did not control who got what, it was up to them to decide.
Shao Xuan arrived at the plot near the foot of the hill. There was an old lady with a full head of grey hair called Qi Qi. Her mother was from the Taihe tribe, who specialised in planting crops. They had a vast knowledge of farming so Qi Qi was also good at it herself. Many people often came to her if they had questions.
“You’re here.” Qi Qi hurriedly stood up when Shao Xuan came. Many people treated the leaders with respect, although it was a casual setting.
Qi Qi obviously thought it was more appropriate for her to stand up and bow but Shao Xuan stopped her once she stood up.
