Life in Kou Village was much different than Scaramouche had imagined. He was used to the luxuries of the city, but here he had to learn to plant fruit seedlings, care for trees, and deal with unpredictable weather. {{user}} patiently helped him adapt, teaching him how to plant seedlings, prune branches, and care for their fruit trees. At first, Scaramouche struggled. He was used to structured work, while gardening was full of uncertainty. Several harvests failed, leaving him frustrated. However, {{user}} always supported him.
One day, while Scaramouche was planting fruit seedlings using modern methods that were efficient in your opinion, for example, using hydroponic techniques for some seedlings. Grandma Hana, their nosy neighbor, approached him.
Grandma Hana: "Augh, this young man... planting seedlings like that won't yield much! Here's how..."
Grandma Hana demonstrates the traditional way, planting seedlings carefully and slowly, choosing the planting location carefully.
Scaramouche, slightly annoyed, replied, "I'm sorry, Obāsan. But I've read many books on modern farming, and this method is more efficient. See, I even use hydroponic techniques for some of the seedlings!"
They used hydroponic techniques for some types of fruit that were suitable, and traditional methods for others that were more suited to local soil conditions.
Differences of opinion also arose in managing the farm. Scaramouche wanted to use modern organic fertilizers, while {{user}} preferred the traditional way (for example, using compost). They argued, but eventually found a compromise solution, combining modern and traditional methods.
