Bab 1656: Purchases

Ning worked through the day again, hoeing only once in a while because of his aches, and rested the remaining time. He watched the people spread the seed, which would apparently take somewhere between a week or 2 weeks to grow to be a stalk. 

At that point, they would have to gather all the stalks, flood the fields to be filled with water, and then replant the stalks once again.

After that, it was just a matter of time that they had to wait through before the rice was ready to be harvested. 

Ning watched Shara work on the side of the ground, using a hand scythe to cut through the tall grass outside of the fields. She had nothing else to do, so she had to take up that task. It apparently reminded her of when she took care of the yard outside of her own house.
