As Chu Suifeng's counsellor, Situ Gong was undoubtedly a very busy man. Yet, the idea that he would come to a field to chat with an old farmer was simply unbelievable.
The old man gave him a penetrating gaze.
In the face of his meaningful look, Situ Gong responded with a constant smile.
"Mr. Situ, you're a busy man. It's a privilege for an old man like me that you would take the time to idle chat with me," the old man finally said, nodding slightly.
"I wouldn't dare to think so," Situ Gong politely replied. "The production of food is the foundation of survival in the Northern Land. Regarding being busy, you sir, are not idling either."
At his flattery, old man Lin merely smiled faintly, not indulging in further courtesies.
Not far from the vegetable field, there were houses for the workers to rest. The old man also kept one here as a place to rest.
