章 125: Irrigation

Old Hu said to Li Yu, "Miss Li, everyone knows what to do. Rest at home for two days. We'll pick you up when the water bridge is built."

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yu said, "Alright, you'd better get someone to dig up more rotten soil in the forest and scatter it in the ground. That rotten soil is good for fertilizing the fields. After scattering the rotten soil in the ground, dig deep into the ground and rake it carefully. Then, scatter a layer of rotten soil. When the ground is ready, I'll tell you how to fertilize it."

Old Hu and the villagers listened attentively and remembered it in their hearts. "We'll remember it. I'll get Hu Gui to send you and Miss Er Ya back."

"Alright, look for me when you're done. Make sure the soil is clayey or it won't be able to hold water." Li Yu instructed Old Hu.

Old Hu cupped his hands at Li Yu. "Miss, we'll remember. Sorry to trouble you to make a trip without even serving tea."
