Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Culinary Skills That Almost Burned Down the Kitchen Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Culinary Skills That Almost Burned Down the Kitchen If she really were idle and full, she would be picking and drying peach blossom petals to sell them every day. Instead, she might as well dig up some more medicinal herbs; at least those could be sold for a few bucks.

“I’m planning to brew some peach blossom wine as soon as the weather warms up. This way, we’ll be able to drink a little whenever we want.”

“You know how to make wine?”

At her words, a look of surprise swept across Ya Molian’s face, raising his eyebrows.

He had experienced her cooking skills, almost burning down the kitchen at home in the past. After that, Ms. Lu of Lin Family sternly advised against letting her cook. Only then did the family drop this concern.

She wants to brew wine?

“What, I can’t?” Lin Caisang also raised her eyebrows, looking at him and asked.

From his expressions, just how much was he underestimating her? What was wrong with her knowing how to make wine? Although she couldn’t cook or make dishes, she could still make some sweets and wine, right?

As the head of a family with a long tradition in herbal medicine, shouldn’t she be good at preparing medicinal meals or medicinal wine?

“Fine.”

Ya Molian didn’t say anything else, only uttering a single word from his thin lips.

…

Time flies when you’re busy, and over half a month has passed in a hurry. The vegetable seedlings planted in the field are growing well. The pond, planned for twenty acres of land on Manghuang Mountain, is almost excavated.

The paddy field is almost ready as per Lin Caisang’s requirements. However, there hasn’t been any rain, and there is no water on the mountain, leaving everything parched.

But the land was already being cultivated.

By this time, the peach blossoms on the mountain had fallen. Lin Caisang no longer stayed on the mountain, but began to uproot the vegetable seedlings in Lin Family’s fields, which the villagers didn’t think much of, and transplanted them on the mountain.

Upon noticing, Lin Changhong and others naturally began to help.

“Sangsang, these seedlings have all been uprooted. Can they survive?” As he buried the roots of the seedlings in the soil, he asked Lin Caisang.

He had never seen such a planting method before. Normally, people would scatter vegetable seeds on the ground, thin out the extra sprouts to allow the seedlings to grow bigger.

As for corn, soybeans, and others, they plant them grain by grain. If it didn’t sprout, they would plant a few more in.

Unlike this, digging up healthy seedlings and moving them to a different place seemed unnecessary. No wonder everyone thought it was a waste of seeds.

Even he felt the same.

“Whether it will survive or not, you’ll just have to wait and see.”

Lin Caisang didn’t look up, she kept tending to the seedlings as she spoke.

“But there’s no water on the mountain. We have to carry water up to water them, otherwise they won’t survive.”

“Then I’ll carry a few more buckets of water from the pond later.”Upon hearing her say this, Lin Changhong didn’t even consider, he immediately responded.

He didn’t have any other abilities, but he was strong physically. It would be easy for him to carry dozens of buckets of water up the mountain. Considered it as a workout. Despite his confident tone, he was still worried.

“Sangsang, everyone in the village just started cultivating their fields and haven’t even sown their seeds yet. Whereas you’ve already got such big seedlings. If the rainy season washes them away, all efforts will be in vain. I’m genuinely worried for you.”

At his words, Lin Caisang finally lifted her head, looking at her elder brother with an expression of exasperation on her face.

“Lin Changhong, could you please stop your doom-and-gloom talk? The hill terrain of Manghuang Mountain is higher than the terraced fields below. The rainwater can’t wash up the mountain, right? Unless the pond you dug collapses!”
