Her Cultivation Diar Chapter 1600 - 1460: Blacking Out

Chapter 1600: Chapter 1460: Blacking Out

The film crew arrived, and the affairs in the mountain village increased significantly.

The director and a few others were just the advance team; many other staff mbers would soon follow, but most of them didn’t need to co with the equipnt, so their high-speed rail travel tis inevitably wouldn’t coincide.

However, these were not worries for Song Tan. Xin Jun and Zhang Yanping had already completely shifted away from family work and fully taken over the guesthouse. Previously hired skilled service and cleaning staff from the city’s hotels, along with an aunt from the village, were now arranging everyone’s compact accommodation without appearing rushed.

But the place was rather humble—honestly, Zhang Yanping’s guesthouse was well-decorated, but it couldn’t withstand the sheer number of the film crew, many of whom didn’t want to stay in the town, so they cramd in here.

But for those in their line of work, if they were working at the film and television city, commuting would be tough even for regular employees, so this hardship was bearable.

Secretary Xiaozu was still coordinating the transportation for the large number of staff in the town and hadn’t returned. anwhile, Song Tan was called to the fields by Yan Ran.

It was already the end of April, and many flowers’ blooming periods were about to be over. Only the large pogranate blossoms on the mountain were vibrant and looked particularly beautiful.

But no matter how beautiful, seeing them every day made them just ordinary.

Yan Ran and a few others were holding tablets and notebooks, walking along the cent path built through the forest towards the fields by the pond, explaining, "The wheat is already in the filling stage, so the water and fertilizer need to keep up. We need to quickly arrange for workers to apply another batch of fertilizer."

Everything here followed the route of a pure natural organic farm. Fertilizers and dicines were used with extre caution, only resorting to physical thods or targeted biological controls.

Otherwise, just spraying so monopotassium phosphate would suffice for fertilization. But this kind of fertilizer easily releases organic salts that affect the soil, so using their own fernted fertilizer was better.

Song Tan nodded: "Alright, when’s a good ti? I’ll go back and hire people."

"No rush." Qi Lin glanced at the notes: "The wind’s been too strong recently. We can’t flood the wheat fields with water, or they’ll fall over in patches and affect the harvest. Let’s arrange for a sprinkling tomorrow and check the timing for fertilization."

Professor Song was quite capable, and most of the students he brought were down-to-earth. The three of them had been here for months, cautious and ticulous as last year, without a hint of difference.

This made Song Tan very trusting: "Alright. Once the wheat is harvested, we’ll arrange for Master Jiang to cook you a wheat al."

ntioning this, everyone got excited!

Tai Xiaodong even started calculating: "This year, your wheat yield is up to 800 kilograms per mu, which is really high."

"Also, the red and powdery mildew we had to prevent didn’t really show up, with very high resistance. But the sa batch of seeds, Fengde 22, was chosen for its high yield and resistance, yet other farms had to spend a lot on pesticides and effort this year."

However, farming was sothing they initially approached scientifically, but now they hardly talked about it because no matter how they tried to explain, it was inexplicable. Their efforts here were minimal, yet the performance was excellent and the taste was exceptional—who could argue against that?

In any case, as long as the farm produced good things they could enjoy, that was enough.

Song Tan listened silently. Though she understood farming, those skills couldn’t be applied here now. In terms of familiarity and knowledge of existing varieties, she certainly couldn’t compare to the three agricultural students in front of her.

At this point, they had arrived at the edge of the layers of green wheat fields, and she pushed aside so of the wheat with multiple tillers, frowning: "I thought we could harvest next month, but judging by the current growth, it’ll have to wait until June."

"Mm." Yan Ran nodded, then pinched a grain to show her. "It’s in the filling stage, very white and plump inside, and it looks like it can continue growing. Let’s wait until June."

After saying this, she clasped her hands together with a sincere expression: "Please! Please! Let it be slightly dry in May, no random rain, please!"

Song Tan couldn’t help but laugh, though she knew her abilities certainly wouldn’t affect the weather. Grateful for the year of favorable weather last year, but farrs relied on the sky, which was anything but docile.

What she could do was ensure that even if there were natural disasters, she would be able to avoid major damage.

So she, too, clasped her hands with sincerity: "The sa prayer!"

But even if the weather is favorable in May and June, it doesn’t guarantee trouble-free harvests.

For example, Qi Lin’s reminder at this mont: "Start preparing to hire people in advance. In June, not only will the mountain’s vegetables enter the harvest period, but your Eagle Beak Peaches, waterlons, early rice, etc., will all be ripe."

"And don’t forget, you’ll need to recruit a large number of people for Ai Cao as well."

"We’ve planted quite a bit of early rice this year, and the next batch of autumn rice needs to be prepared."

"By July, the crops harvested in June might still be growing, the rice will ripen, and more crops will be waiting to be harvested."

However...

Qi Lin looked at her, smiling helplessly: "In June and July, will the mountain’s tea leaves still be harvested?"

Song Tan: "..."

Of course, they needed to be harvested, and at most, trimd a bit in July.

Alright, alright, she thought she could relax this year, but unexpectedly, she was going to be as busy as a spinning top.

She understood why the three of them told her these matters so early because the number of people she needed to hire this year was far more than last year.

However, even though so villagers stayed at ho and didn’t go to work this year, it was rely a drop in the bucket for her over a thousand mu of land.

Song Tan sighed, "I’ll think of sothing."

She looked at the already sun-tanned faces of the three in front of her and started to feel disheartened: "Why doesn’t the local area have a decent agricultural university? It would be easy for

to hire temporary workers!"

"Forget it!" Tai Xiaodong was quite down-to-earth, speaking plainly at this mont: "Even if there were agricultural university students, they’re not real farrs. Relying on them to harvest rice and pick peaches, the efficiency would be questionable. You’d better hire so with actual farming experience."

Of course, Song Tan knew this, but with not even a hundred households in ten miles and eight villages, where would she find so many migrant workers? It was truly...

She sighed again and repeated: "I’ll think so more."

Tai Xiaodong chuckled: "I know you’re a bit panicked, but don’t worry, there’s sothing you probably haven’t considered yet—"

"Fish."

"The fish in the ponds and rivers are at risk of floating belly-up in the sumr. I know you don’t expect to earn much from them, but you also need to collect a batch. Whether to sell or consu, if there are too many, they’ll affect the water quality."

Song Tan remained expressionless: "What else, go ahead and say it all."

Everyone thought for a mont and realized there wasn’t much else.

Until Yan Ran spoke: "Uh... there’s sothing that might not take too much of your ti, but you should be prepared."

"I heard Dabao and the others are in relationships this year, right? Dogs give birth two months after pregnancy, so even if they co over after full-term, you’ll have..."

Little need to ntion, training the puppies and arranging their kennels would require so effort too.

Song Tan kept a straight face—during the hot months of June and July, she had assigned herself quite a lot of work!
