Chapter 125: Mai Knocking over a Drink

After spring, many farmers began to fling themselves into the farm work. The ploughs that Lu Lin and his team had made during winter time were all distributed to different villages.

With the help of the ploughs, the farmers were able to finish their work in a more efficient way, and they opened up large tracts of wasteland for Lu Lin within a short amount of time.

Lu Lin bought some good sapling from other places and asked the villagers to be responsible for planting them.

Some villagers were too poor to buy their own seeds for grains, Lu Lin bought a batch from outside and lent them to the villagers.

Lu Lin had assigned the Qins a task, he asked them to transport a batch of white mulberry and plant them on the mountain near the county yamen.

It took the Qins an entire month to finish that task, the Qins has even asked help from the patrolling camp. But they managed to get it done in the end.

The Qins promised the villagers that they would pay them three cents for each tree they plant on the barren mountain near the county yamen. The villagers scrambled to get that job opportunity.

Dozens of villagers went ahead at full steam, working so hard.

Every tree pit was round and deep, no one had slacked off.

When some villagers saw Lu Lin coming over, they greeted Lu Lin one after another. They wore a kind smile on their faces, which was completely different from the gloating look when Lu Lin first arrived.

Soon, a mulberry forest covered the barren mountain. Lu Lin exclaimed at how fast the mountain looked completely different now, he showed a satisfying smile on seeing the new scene.

In addition to the mulberry trees, there were also some fruit trees.

Chen Xiao Mi stood beside Lu Lin and asked curiously, "Why did you plant so many mulberry trees? Do you want to get into silkworm breeding?"

Lu Lin nodded, "Yeah!"

Lu Lin had spent a lot of money to bring this batch of mulberry trees over, and quite a few died on the road.

Chen Xiao Mi glanced at Lu Lin and asked, "Do you know how to raise silkworms?"

Lu Lin shook his head, "Well, I can slowly explore it. We've just got the reward money, it's not like we are spending our savings, let't just take a bet on this one. And hopefully it will work."

Chen Xiao Mi nodded.

"Actually, I did have raised silkworms," Lu Lin said.

Chen Xiao Mi looked at Lu Lin with disbelief and said, "What? When? Didn't you just inherit a convenience store in your hometown? When did you raise silkworms"

Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiao Mi's sparkling eyes and rubbed his nose with affection. He couldn't figure out if Chen Xiao Mi was admiring him or ridiculing him.

Lu Lin had raised silkworms before. When he was a child, someone sold silkworms outside the school. He spent two yuan on some silkworms and some mulberry leaves for fun. A lot of his classmates did the same thing, but unfortunately, none of the kids could find fresh mulberry leaves to feed the worms, and slowly the worms had died. Lu Lin's silkworms were no exception.

Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiao Mi and said, "I've done many things that you don't know."

Chen Xiao Mi looked at Lu Lin and didn't believe it.

Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiao Mi's expression and thought to himself, my mysterious aura in Mi's eyes are slowly fading away, I better come up with a plan to spice things up and keep Mi interested. But it's getting seemed more and more difficult.'
