Chapter 40: Harvest in the Farmland
"Franz-sama, it's amazing! The fruits have grown!!"
"Yes, they have indeed produced fruits. And the vegetables have also grown their own fruits!"
It was a growth that defied common sense in Japan. Both rice and wheat had abundant yields. It was delightful to see the vegetables thriving as well.
I used to be a freeter with a low income. While I had taken up various part-time jobs, I had never even considered farming, let alone imagine myself doing it. This was my first experience with agriculture, and if I could harvest something in a day, it would be quite an achievement—no, it was beyond extraordinary.
If I could use Mithril farming tools in Japan, I would become incredibly wealthy. No Japanese farmer would be able to compete with me. But this was a different world; I had to face reality.
With this bountiful harvest, I could live comfortably without worrying about hunger. I'm relieved because my biggest concern was food.
"Alright, I'll harvest enough for my meal. I don't need to harvest everything, just enough to eat."
"Thank you. Since I'm not familiar with this, I'll watch and learn."
Since Sui was completely new to agriculture, she decided to observe.
Well, I was no different. I had zero experience with farming in Japan, so I had to rely on my vague knowledge of agriculture to harvest.
Though I could technically harvest with my bare hands, I thought it would be inefficient. Farmers use tools and machines in Japan for harvesting. But in this world, there were no large-scale agricultural machines like in Japan.
Thinking about using a Mithril sword for harvesting, I realized it would be challenging. Harvesting involved delicate movements, and with a sword, the only option would be cutting.
What about Mithril farming tools? Those were designed for tilling the soil and might not be suitable for delicate harvesting tasks.
So, in the end, I decided to harvest with my bare hands. Well, since it was just enough for my meal, it shouldn't be a problem.
With that in mind, I proceeded to harvest the rice, wheat, and vegetables. It was difficult—no doubt about it. I wasn't used to it, and I lacked knowledge.
However, I managed to harvest enough food for a meal!
Now, I could have dinner tonight. When I showed the harvest to Sui,
"Wow! This is the food that Franz-sama made, right!? It's amazing and looks so delicious!"
"Indeed. Let's have it for dinner!"
