Chen He, a PhD in agricultural science, never imagined his graduation project would be “How to Farm and Stay Alive in Republican-Era China”!
After waking from a nap, he had not only transmigrated to a time of war and chaos, but also collapsed from hunger on the refugee road to Tianniu Temple Village! He was about to become another starving corpse in a troubled age. From the start, he was facing hellish difficulty.
Luckily, kindhearted Ning Xiuxiu found him and took him home. Looking at the barren land before him and the handsome Xiuxiu, her face creased with worry, Chen He slapped his thigh, mostly because he was hungry. “I know how to solve this!”
Scientific composting? On it!
Ecological pest control? Let’s do it!
Cultivating superior seeds? Leave it to me!
Doubling the yield per acre? Easy!
While everyone else still relied on the weather and worked their fields with their heads down, Chen He used modern agricultural science to leave them in the dust, leading the whole village in a sweeping “industrial upgrade.”
Feng Dajia: “He-ge, will this fertilizer recipe really work? Why does it smell worse than my feet?”
Dajia’s Mother: “That boy’s got a quick mind, but he’s always tinkering with strange things. Just don’t blow up the cooking pot!”
Ning Xiuxiu, wide-eyed: “H-He-ge, why are the seedlings in the fields growing faster than I am?!”
From a “bean sprout” who nearly starved to death to Xiuxiu’s astonishment and the chief agricultural adviser who helped the whole village thrive, Chen He proves through his achievements that scientific farming can truly sustain life!
See how a modern agricultural science PhD makes the most of rural Republican-era China, revitalizing the countryside with his hoe while tenderly protecting the woman who took him in.
[A story of farming, technology, gentle comedy, and an ordinary man striving to protect what matters!]
Quick shot, the author is really ready to teach readers how to farm.
