Chapitre 108: This Woman Is Not Simple

This time, she didn't hire anyone and worked with the servants to plow the land. They spread chicken and cow dung and sprinkled a layer of wheat straw on top before setting it on fire.

Afterward, they plowed the land again and watered it.

At this point, it was time to set up the wooden stakes.

Qiao Mai instructed Shopkeeper Niu to order many unprocessed wooden materials from the carpenter's shop. These were freshly cut tree branches of similar thickness, with their ends sharpened.

Upon arrival, they were systematically driven into the ground, enclosing the five acres of land.

Qiao Mai divided the land into ten equal sections, each half an acre. Due to the size of the warm shed and the harsh winter conditions in the area, they could only work on half an acre at a time, splitting it into five equal parts.

When Old Mister Wang finished his lessons, he often came to the backyard to observe Qiao Mai's work, curious about what she was doing.
