"I speculate that maybe the seeding time is incorrect," said Lin Ziyin after pondering over it.
"We sow in May. Any earlier than that, the temperature is too low for the seeds to germinate," Master Hui Lian explained hurriedly, "Winter in Feng City is slightly longer than in the south after all."
"You can sprout the seeds beforehand," Lin Ziyin said, "As long as the temperature is maintained, seeds can be propagated indoors, and then transplanted in May."
"How are they transplanted?" Master Hui Lian asked with surprise, "Aren't they directly scattered onto the field?"
"That's why I want to change the way we cultivate rice. I wonder if the temple dares to try this with us?" Lin Ziyin questioned.
Horrified, Master Hui Lian widened his eyes, not readily agreeing this time.
Both the host and Master Hui Zhen tightened their frowns seriously.
Lin Ziyin stayed patient, sipping tea quietly while waiting for their final decision.
