After completing soil improvement, Wei Ruo instructed Zhang Mama, Agui, and Xiaoba to level the land, then hold water.
Once the land was prepared, Wei Ruo came to the southern wasteland again, this time bringing a large bag of rice seeds.
When Wei Ruo handed over the bag of rice seeds to Zhang Mama, instructing her, Agui, and Xiaoba to sow them, Zhang Mama showed a hesitant expression, deliberating a while before trying to persuade Wei Ruo again:
"Miss, allow an old servant to speak out of turn. Is it really possible to plant rice at this time? Shouldn't we switch to other crops? As long as they can survive, other crops will suffice too."
"We will plant this. Rest assured, these are late rice seeds that I brought back from Huzhou Prefecture. People over there have already planted them. Planting at this time is just right, they will grow," Wei Ruo replied with conviction and confidence.
"Really? There's such a variety of grain?" Zhang Mama asked in surprise.
