Chapter 576: Chapter 565: Harvesting Rice

The breakfast was brought back by the system early in the morning. After eating, she asked the pet house system to tell the sea otter to take care of the pet house, and then she headed to the Planting Area.

"Xia Yue, you’re here. Have you had breakfast?" Professor Hao and his team had just started, he saw Xia Yue and asked with a smile.

"I’ve had breakfast. Where is the sickle? I’ll help out." Xia Yue greeted them, then asked.

"There’s one over there. We could finish this two or three-acre field quite quickly even if you didn’t come." Professor Hao pointed at the threshing machine and told her.

"I’m not too busy, so I ought to help out. After all, I’ve been involved in cultivating and planting here, and now I’m taking part in the harvest. That’s seeing things through to the end, isn’t it?" Xia Yue walked over, picked up the sickle, and replied with a smile. She then bent over and started harvesting with them.

"If this batch of hybrid rice wasn’t so significant, I wouldn’t be harvesting it manually because I’m afraid the machine might damage it." Professor Hao said. Harvesting rice was both exhausting and hot, and if the rice leaves were to touch their skin, it could either cause itchiness or cut the skin.

"That’ll work out just fine, then. We can split the work. Professor Hao, you can handle the threshing later. One of them can harvest with me, and the other can assist you. That way, we can get this done faster." Xia Yue suggested with a laugh.

"Alright, let’s get this done quickly." Professor Hao knew that at his age, he couldn’t continue to bend over to harvest. But handling the threshing is manageable.

For now, it was just the four of them. Around nine o’clock, the employees from the Planting Area and the Farming Area, after finishing the vegetable picking and feeding the livestock, also joined in to help with the harvest.

Xia Yue advised Professor Hao to rest so that he wouldn’t tire himself out and delay the research. Eventually, he acquiesced and merely watched them work.

The three-acre field was only fully harvested around one in the afternoon despite their hard work.

Xia Yue was fine; her recent nightly cultivation practices in the different space had greatly improved her physical condition. The work didn’t tire her out because of her improved cultivation base.

If this were before, she would’ve collapsed by now, unable to get up until the next day.

Xia Yue asked Qu Xin to prepare herbal bath-packages for them to soak in so as to prevent body aches the next day.

The harvested rice was placed in the Drying Area. Professor Hao and his two students were responsible for overseeing it.

The harvested field wasn’t immediately replanted. Instead, they left it to rejuvenate. The leftover grains on the field attracted chickens and ducks. Their droppings acted as fertilizer for the soil.

Without Xia Yue’s pet house, the procedures for checking in and out today were guided by the sea otter to the self-service area.

The tourists were curious as they watched the sea otter, who knew the pet house routines well, take care of the pets, play with them, and give them water with such familiarity.

Some curious individuals spent the whole day squatting at the pet house, watching the sea otter hustle around. They even filmed it and posted the video online.

Thus, this sea otter once again made it onto several trending lists. Many netizens were amazed, but some were puzzled. They wondered why the sea otter was so familiar with the routines, questioning if the resort had used some means to train it for publicity.

But this comment was quickly shot down, as many who knew about this sea otter clarified that it had only been at the resort for less than half a month. It was just temporarily residing there and happened to be exceptionally clever.
