Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1099

Meanwhile, after leaving Father Li’s house, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo returned home. Since it was still early, they decided to go to the mountain. Knowing that his eldest brother had also gone there, Li Chenmo chose a different route.

As they ventured into the mountain, Lu Jueyu noticed mushrooms, wild vegetables, and wild fruits growing densely. This path was hard to traverse and quite distant from the village, so no one else used it besides them. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Looking at the free resources around her, she suggested, "Husband, let’s forage for mushrooms and pick some wild fruits first before we go to the mountain."

Seeing his wife’s bright eyes, Li Chenmo nodded with a smile and readily agreed, "Okay."

Lu Jueyu retrieved tools and two bamboo baskets from her space. Thanks to their tacit understanding on dividing their works, the two of them managed to gather all the mushrooms and fruits in under two hours. They also picked wild vegetables along the way.

Since they drank Lu Jueyu’s boiled lake water, they didn’t feel tired at all. After storing everything in her space, Lu Jueyu took out a bag of wheat seeds and a bag of bell bean seeds.

Looking around, she handed the wheat seeds to her husband and said, "Husband, help me scatter these seeds."

Holding the bag, Li Chenmo looked at his wife and asked, "Wife, are we scattering the seeds directly? Don’t they need to germinate first?"

"It’s fine. I have tried it before, and it’s possible to grow them without germination," Lu Jueyu assured him as she began scattering the bell bean seeds.

Since his wife had said so, Li Chenmo didn’t ask further questions and got to work.

Lu Jueyu had chosen bell beans and wheat for intercropping due to their numerous benefits. Together, they improved the availability of nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil, resulting in higher crop yields compared to monoculture or crop rotation. This combination also enhanced the quality of wheat grain, including increased gliadin content and protein yield.

Additionally, intercropping reduced the incidence of bell bean wilt, improved soil microorganism diversity, increased enzyme activity in rhizosphere soil, and aided in weed management. It also attracted more pollinators and stabilized crop performance.

While the results might not rival those of a well-maintained field, it was still better than wild grown wheat and bell beans.

After scattering the seeds, Lu Jueyu walked around, drawing water directly from her space’s lake.

This was the first time Li Chenmo had seen his wife do this. Following her, he watched as water gushed from her palm like a faucet. Although amazed, he didn’t think too much about it, considering his wife’s magical ability.

Once finished, they ventured further into the mountain forest, heading to another open field. Unbeknownst to them, the seeds they had scattered had already begun sprouting and taking root not long after they left the area.
