The field would not bear any more strawberries and tomatoes this year, but strawberries were perennial plants. After being planted, their ability to bear fruit would only decline three years later.

Moreover, in general, when planting strawberries, the number of strawberries bearing fruit in the first year would be relatively small, the number of strawberries bearing fruit in the second year was the most, and the number of strawberries bearing fruit in the third year would drop significantly.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, in order for strawberries to bear more fruits, new seedlings had to be replaced every three years or so.

However, Jiang Yue had planted the strawberry seedlings that she had taken out from her space. They were not cultivated from ordinary strawberry seeds. For these seeds, the first year was actually the year with the highest yield, so there was no such thing as a cycle of three years. In order to increase the yield, it was best to plant new seedlings next year.

However, there were two ways to plant strawberries. One was to grow seedlings with seeds, and the other was by dividing them.

It was as simple as splitting the fruit. The strawberry would grow some branches and tendrils, and when the branches and tendrils came into contact with the soil, they would grow roots, just like the side branches. They could remove the side branches with roots and replant them, and that would be a new strawberry seedling.

Since they could be planted separately, Jiang Yue didn’t plan on uprooting all the strawberry plants on the field. Moreover, Liu Guixia and the others had already kept the seeds.

She planned to wait until next year when they divide the strawberry plants and no longer need them.

Tomatoes were an annual herbaceous plant, so Jiang Yue didn’t think too much about it. Seeing that the tomato plant would no longer bear fruit, she planned to dig up the plant and tidy up the half an acre of land that was originally used to grow tomatoes. After a period of time, it would be easier to plant carrots or cabbages next time.

If she wanted to plant rapeseed, that would be fine too.

Initially, Xue Dafu had promised Xue Yan that he wouldn’t plant anymore. However, that was because his uncle’s oil mill hadn’t been opened before and he felt that the oil mill in town was bullying the farmers. Now that the oil mill was doing well, Xue Dafu and the others still wanted to plant oil to generate some income.

In general, in the second half of the year, all the villages in Xinyuan County basically planted the most rapeseed, which could survive the winter. The next year, there would be rapeseed flowers everywhere.

When the rapeseed was old, they could be harvested.

Since they had decided to dig up the tomato plants, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came to the half acre of land with a small hoe each.

Shao Shuting had nothing to do, so he also put on a straw hat and carried a hoe to help. His hoe was much bigger than Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s.

Shiye was holding a sword and following behind his general in his martial attire. Even those who didn’t know them could tell that Shao Shuting was a young master.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of many people.

“I’ll be leaving in two days. If there’s anything you need my help with, just go to Quanping Inn and look for the innkeeper there.” Shao Shuting said as he watched how Jiang Yue and Xue Yan tidied up the land with a hoe.

The shopkeeper was his man. In fact, the whole of Quanping Inn was filled with the Shao family’s people.

Quanping Inn was also a contact point for the Shao family.

Jiang Yue did not say anything. Xue Yan stopped what he was doing and cupped his hands, “Many thanks.”

“Xue Yan, you’re different after you’ve studied.” Shao Shuting smiled. Then, he took out a token from his pocket. There was a big Shao character on the token. “Keep it well. It might be useful for you in the future.”

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue didn’t want to take it.”

“It just so happens that I’ve specially tied a red rope on it.” Shao Shuting said as if he was going to hang the token around his neck..
