I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Chapter 158 Meeting an old friend again

Yan Fang was frightened by Lin Jin's sudden tears. For a moment he actually thought it was like this, but then he saw Lin Jin secretly winking at him.

Yan Fang: “…”

This Miss Lin Jin is really, really smart.

Yan Fang noticed Lin Jin's intention and quickly agreed, "This Miss Lin has a miserable life, so I used her to find you two. On the one hand, it can help your family solve their urgent problem, and on the other hand, it can also ensure the life of this girl. You should always consider your daughter."

The old lady glanced at her granddaughter, who looked pale and thin, and trembled with trembling lips, and nodded in agreement.

"Since you have agreed, I will send food over tomorrow." Lin Jin couldn't bear to see this kind of scene, and quickly signaled Yan Fang to leave, "Sir, we can go make the curved plow now."

Yan Fang nodded quickly, and after saying goodbye to the old lady, he asked Lin Jin about the details of the curved plow: "Do you have the blueprints? If so, I can have someone make it for you. You don't have to do it yourself."

Lin Jin: “…”

You are really good at talking, but you just hit the sore spot that she can't draw.

"Without the blueprint, I can only make it for you. I just don't know how many curved plows can be made with iron." Lin Jin thought about whether there was any substitute. Stone would definitely not work as it was too heavy and the curved plow would lose its advantage. But iron was precious in this era.

A shovel had to be borrowed from many households, which was one of the reasons why it was difficult to reclaim land in this era. Without the right tools, work efficiency would decrease.

This feeling of having to do something, only to find out there are more problems just after solving one, suddenly made Lin Jin feel a little irritated. She wanted to give up on herself and become a hands-off boss, but this negative thought was suppressed for only a moment.

All things are difficult at the beginning, so take it slow.

I just don’t know when she will be able to return to the capital if this continues.

Lin Jin was making the curved plow meticulously. The curved plow consumed one more piece of iron than the straight plow, which made Lin Jin a little discouraged.

This is not just a little difficult, it is extremely difficult.

She was thinking about using the saw vigorously. Yan Fang, who was standing by, didn't know what was wrong with the girl. "If you are tired, why don't you take a rest aside and let us do what we need to do. You can also give her some pointers."

"It's okay, let me saw this out first." Lin Jin sawed the wood with a grunt. After taking out all the things he needed, he straightened up, "That's all. I really need your help next."

She only knows the basics of mortise and tenon structure and is definitely not as good as these old masters.

Lin Jin blew on her red palms. It hurt a little, but she could bear it. The spring ploughing later would be really life-threatening. "Masters, please put them together. My hands are not as good as yours, so I won't show off my ugliness."

It's great that the theorist can achieve this, please forgive her.

Under Lin Jin's guidance, the carpenter made the curved plow and then hammered it with iron. Thus, the first curved plow of this era appeared.

Lin Jin looked at the curved plow and exhaled, "That's it. I wonder how many oxen we have here and how many curved plows we can make."

Yan Fang looked at the curved plow and fell into deep thought: "There are not many oxen for plowing, and the number that can be produced by this curved plow is about the same."

Lin Jin was not surprised by this result at all. Even a straight-beam plow was not something that everyone could have.

"Miss, don't worry. It's great that you can bring this curved plow. We will take care of the rest. If you do everything, then we, the officials, will just be eating for free, right?" Yan Fang saw what she was thinking and quickly spoke to comfort her.

This is not something Lin Jin should worry about, it is something they should think about.

Lin Jin smiled, but she had not let go of the worries in her mind. There was still a lot to do. She knew she had to take it step by step, but she was still worried and always wanted to do something more.

Stay calm, be steady, be steady, or you will fall.

"Now is the right time to plant potatoes. Let me teach you how to plant potatoes." After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Jin calmed down a little. "Potatoes are good things."

Yan Fang quickly agreed. Lin Jin found an excuse to leave and took the potatoes given to him by the system. The system was very considerate. The potatoes had already sprouted, so Lin Jin didn't need to spend time germinating them.

Lin Jin handed the potatoes to Yan Fang, had them cut, and then planted them herself: "Potatoes are not picky about the soil, but they are picky about temperature and time. The current temperature is just right for them to grow. It would be a bit late to wait until July or August in Jiangnan."

What's more, if it is not planted correctly and the temperature is not suitable, it will be really difficult to grow well.

Yan Fang asked someone to write down everything Lin Jin said.

Lin Jin thought about it and asked again: "What kind of fertilizer do you usually use here?"

Upon learning that the only thing he had done was watering and weeding, Lin Jin frowned.

To put it bluntly, even watering with urine is better than not using any fertilizer.

Lin Jin was surprised but also thought it made sense: "Then I'll teach you how to make organic fertilizer. It's actually similar to slash-and-burn farming."

Slash-and-burn farming is the process of using fire to burn the weeds in the fields, and the wood ash naturally becomes a kind of fertilizer.

Lin Jin taught them two kinds of organic fertilizers, one is the ash from burning straw, and the other is the feces of chickens, ducks and fish. Yan Fang nodded repeatedly as he listened.

After a busy day, the sun was about to set when Lin Jin remembered that he had not found a place to live yet.

"Sir, I have an unreasonable request." Lin Jin coughed twice embarrassedly, "Well, I'm passing by here and haven't found a place to rest yet. I wonder if you can help me find a place to stay for just one night."

She raised a finger for fear of causing trouble.

Yan Fang was stunned for a moment, and quickly thought about which family had an apartment where a girl like Lin Jin could live. He originally thought of letting Lin Jin live in his aunt's house, but when he saw the way Lin Jin was dressed, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.

"Miss, please wait a moment. There is indeed a place where you can stay, but I need to discuss it with the owner." Yan Fang thought that Lin Jin had been busy all day and had really benefited them a lot, so he could not neglect him.

Anyway, the adult lives alone, so if the two girls live together, they can be taken care of.

Lin Jin nodded in understanding. After all, she was staying in someone else's house, so she definitely had to discuss it with others. Otherwise, it would be too presumptuous and no different from trespassing.

Yan Fang left in a hurry, leaving Lin Jin alone standing at the edge of the field. She didn't despise him, and just sat down and looked at the land: "System, what else can I do?"

[The host has done a good job. Don't think too much. Everything will work out.] The system's mechanical voice had no emotion, but it tried to comfort Lin Jin.

"Everything will come naturally." Lin Jin chewed on these four words, but she was afraid that she had not done enough and things would not come naturally.

Lin Jin sat by the field thinking about life. About half an hour later, she heard footsteps behind her, and then stopped not far away. The other person's voice was hoarse and frosty: "Are you Lin Jin?"

When Lin Jin heard the name, she quickly stood up and turned around. When she saw the person coming, her eyes lit up: "Sister Xi!"

Xi Lilong was much darker than she was three years ago. She was now dressed in military uniform. She had lost the elegance she had in the capital. Instead, she had the solemnity and murderous feeling that came from fighting on the battlefield. She had come here because she had heard the name Lin Jin.

When she returned to Beijing and heard the news that Lin Jin and Song Shixia had died together, she couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to understand it.

She looked at the face in her memory with a dazed look. Even though she knew that Lin Jin had long since turned into a pile of bones, how could she say that this identical name and appearance was not fate's will?

It was not until she heard the other party call out that familiar name that she suddenly came back to her senses with a complicated expression: "What did you call me?"

Lin Jin trotted over to Xi Lilong and touched his head: "Is it true that I can't call you Sister Xi now? Should I call you General?"

"What's your name?" Xi Lilong felt her eyes a little sore for some reason. It turned out that she was not sad about Lin Jin's death.
