The air was moist and warm, carrying a sour, slightly fishy-sweet scent, like the smell of soil mixed with some strange medicinal liquid after the snow.

The soil here was a darker color than other fields, and gray-white mist lingered between the turned furrows.
Several craftsmen wearing leather masks and protective gloves were operating long-handled wooden ladles, evenly spreading the milky-white bone fertilizer slurry into the grooves.
Occasionally, a few drops splashed, reflecting a faint blue-white gloss in the sunlight.
