Yu Ying had others clear away all the surrounding weeds completely. After the snow season, those weeds had also grown rather quickly.

Moreover, looking into the distance, the entire forest was beginning to show hints of pale green colour, as those trees began to sprout.

With the melting of snow water, the earth began to revive. Not only were plants beginning to sprout, but one could even see the silhouettes of some creatures.

Small squirrels or small birds bouncing about on tree branches, as if they too were celebrating having safely survived the snow season.

“Shaman, can crops be planted so soon after the snow has only just melted?” Yu Ying asked.

Yu Ying looked into the distance and discovered that there was still quite a lot of accumulated snow in distant places, where the snow had not completely melted yet.

“It has already been some time. The soil now is extremely fertile, so planting crops won’t be a problem.” Su Bai explained.

Just before the snow season, they had harvested a wave of crops, and all those withered branches and leaves had been buried in the soil.

After fermenting for a long time throughout the entire snow season period, they had naturally formed fertiliser.

Now that crops were planted, those crops would grow better, and there would also be the enhancement of his Growth Acceleration Skill.

“I see,” Yu Ying nodded as if she understood.

“Have another group of people go to the greenhouses and transplant those seedlings out.” Su Bai instructed.

The seeds sown a few days ago had already begun to sprout and had grown quite well.

Transplanting them out at this time was just right and would be very easy to keep alive.

“Okay.” Yu Ying turned around to give instructions again.

*Step step step…*

Half an hour later, a group of women each carried a winnowing basket, filled with crop seedlings that had just been transplanted from inside the wooden shed.

Each plant looked yellowish-green, clearly full of vitality, making one reluctant to damage them.

“Shaman, can we have them plant everything now?” Yu Ying asked with a smile.

“Wait until the soil is organised a bit more. It’s not level enough yet.” Su Bai looked at the soil.

Those freshly ploughed fields were still in large clumps, not yet in a fine, crumbly soil state.

“I’ll immediately have people organise those soil clumps.” Yu Ying knew that organising soil clumps required the use of farming tools.

Those farming tools included hoes and rakes and such, for the purpose of turning these large clumps of soil into fine, crumbly soil, then piling them into long rectangular shapes.

Once all this was piled up properly, they could begin planting crops. Planting crops would not be too difficult as they had been taught before.

“Shaman, how should we plan the planting of these crops?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

Yu Ying saw that the crops transplanted this time were numerous, no longer like before with just one or two varieties.

“I want to plant all the cabbage in this area, carrots in that area, and corn over there.” Su Bai pointed at the cultivated land, planning it out.

Managing them would be more convenient later, because all the crops would be planted in a unified and orderly manner.

Harvesting would also be more convenient. After harvesting one section, new crops could immediately be replanted, which would not affect the growth of other crops.

Besides this, there was another rather trivial function, that it would look more aesthetically pleasing and would not appear chaotic and disorderly.

“I understand. Like building houses, everything needs to be neat and orderly, right?” Yu Ying blinked her pink eyes.

“Yes, mainly because it’s easier to manage,” Su Bai said softly.

Over two hours later, all that soil had been made level by the Tribe’s people.

Looking at it, there was not much difference from the plots of land back on Earth. The newly expanded land had also been cultivated.

Not only that, there would be many crop seedlings left over. Of course, those remaining ones would continue to be kept in the greenhouses.

Because it was now spring and temperatures had begun to rise, the greenhouses no longer needed to be covered.

The front and back doors of the greenhouses were now opened, and the Animal Hide covering above had been lifted, to ventilate.

Otherwise, if it continued to remain sealed, the temperature inside would become too high. Now that it was no longer the snow season, excessively high temperatures could easily prevent those crops from growing properly.

After the soil was organised, seedlings for cabbages and corn were all transplanted.

As for carrots, the seeds were collected and directly sown. Besides this, there were also previously grown tomatoes and sweet potatoes, which were also planted in large quantities.

Especially sweet potatoes. Those could easily provide a feeling of satiety, so this type of crop definitely needed to be planted in large quantities.

Moreover, the storage time was relatively long. After harvest, they could be stored for several months, which could be considered as one of the best crops for food reserves.

“Shaman, I know why we need to plant more sweet potatoes,” Yu Ying said happily, swishing her fox tail.

Yu Ying was sharp. After all, having been with Su Bai for such a long time, she more or less knew some things.

Furthermore, she had personally tried this sweet potato crop and knew the deliciousness and satiety of this food.

“There are many delicacies that can be made from sweet potatoes. Later we can even make sweet potato starch to create other foods. Moreover, sweet potatoes are also very easy to keep alive, so we need to plant more,” Su Bai smiled.

“Shaman, have all these crops had your Shaman Technique casted on them?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

“Yes. In the early stages, we just need to carefully tend to them, and in the later stages they will grow well on their own,” Su Bai nodded.

These crops had Growth Acceleration Skill cast on them when they were not yet seeds, and after maturing, the seeds were kept.

He had once again cast Growth Acceleration Skill on those seeds, and the reason they could grow now was because they used those prepared seeds.

“Then they will definitely grow very quickly. According to previous timing, they can probably be harvested in about nine days.” Yu Ying calculated the time.

“You know what to do next. After harvesting, immediately plant new ones.” Su Bai smiled.

This was basically it for the preparations for agriculture, because this was all the crops available.

The System had not provided any new crops in a while, and the current crops were sufficient for now.

“Shaman, there’s still Wheat,” Yu Ying remembered this key point, after all Wheat had already become a staple food.

“Cultivate a new plot of land to plant Wheat.” Su Bai instructed.
