Chapter 94 Investigating Her

The little Border Collie, upon hearing the doorbell video call, even forgot to fetch its favorite ball and excitedly squatted down under the doorbell video to wait.

It is quick to respond and waits for its owner's command before running off to fetch people.

Jian Ning carried the bowl over and answered the doorbell video call.

The screen showed a strange man, and you could clearly see shadowy figures moving behind him, but the screen wasn't big enough to see exactly how many there were.

Jian Ning asked, "Who are you?"

The man immediately gave a formulaic smile and said politely, "Hello, Ms. Jian, we are staff members from the Ministry of Agriculture. We are here because some members of the public have reported that there is a problem with your vegetables."

Jian Ning frowned.

The other party immediately replied, "Of course, in today's online environment, it's very common for rumors and misinformation to spread. Our department has specially invited experts to take samples. If it's true, we may have to fine you. Of course, if there's no problem, we will immediately issue a statement to dispel any doubts among the public online."

"I don't know, are you available now?"

Jian Ning pondered for a moment.

There was nothing wrong with her vegetables to begin with, so it was actually a good thing for her that someone came to take samples for testing.

She just fought off those trolls last night, and today her lawyer is gathering evidence to sue those spreading rumors. But no matter what she says, for the general public, it's not as powerful as an official statement directly clarifying the situation.

She nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll have the dog come and get you."

After saying that, Jian Ning hung up the video call with a gesture.

The Border Collie pup rushed out of the yard like a cannonball.

The main entrance of Huayue Villa.

The man turned around and looked at his companion with a puzzled expression.

"What did she just say? What is she sending to pick us up?"

The companion asked uncertainly, "It sounds like they're talking about...dogs?"

Their uncertainty was quickly answered.

A Border Collie came running excitedly from afar, wagging its tail, and its round eyes scanned them one by one through the gate.

Jian Ning, who was in the courtyard, could see what her contracted spirit beast saw through its eyes.

Therefore, she also clearly saw who had come this time.

There were four people, all of them men.

The Border Collie stood up and slapped the door open button next to it with its paw.

The side gate of Huayue Villa opened.

The people outside looked at the scene before them with disbelief in their eyes.

One person exclaimed, "This dog must be a spirit!"

The other person turned around and asked respectfully, "Professor Jiang, do you think we should inform the other party?"

After all, Professor Jiang is a national-level agricultural researcher. His presence here was not due to the prestige of his department, but rather because he was also somewhat interested in the farming cult circulating online.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare trouble Professor Jiang with such a trivial matter.

Not to mention Professor Jiang, even his apprentice, Researcher Li, couldn't be persuaded by the department.

This time, Professor Jiang and Researcher Li came in person, but the other party didn't even send anyone; they just sent a dog to pick them up.

This...this is outrageous!
Unexpectedly, Professor Jiang, whose hair was half-gray, waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't make things difficult for that young lady. We're here mainly to collect samples. This dog looks smart; it shouldn't lead us astray."

The little Border Collie had already run quite a distance. Looking back, it saw the humans still standing there and couldn't help but bark to urge them on. It was dawdling, not wanting to keep its owner waiting too long.

The group followed the dog, looking at the overgrown weeds and the potholed cement road. They could vaguely see traces of an unfinished building in the distance.

This raises the question: can people really live here? It's hard to imagine.

After following the dog that barked occasionally for several hundred meters, a wide, flat vegetable field suddenly opened up before me.

Beside the vegetable garden stood a girl wearing a light pink top and black cargo pants, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.

Jian Ning saw that the little Border Collie had brought the person over.

The little Border Collie wagged its tail and complained, "Woof~ Master, they're so slow! I've urged them several times along the way."

Jian Ning smiled, squatted down, and rubbed its head with both hands. "Great job, Oreo is the best dog."

A dog's head suddenly popped out of the grass while the Alaskan Malamute was frantically biting at the grass nearby.

"Woof~" What!
Jian Ning patted the Border Collie's bottom, "Go play with Nao Nao."

The little Border Collie happily ran off to show off to Alas.

Jian Ning got up again, and the person had already arrived in front of her.

The man she had met via video call on the doorbell stepped forward to greet her, "Hello Ms. Jian, I'm Xia from the Ministry of Agriculture, and this is my colleague, Chen. And these two..."

Xia's expression became extremely serious. "This is Professor Jiang and his apprentice, Researcher Li, both of whom are national-level agricultural research scholars."

Seeing Xia's expression and the emphasis on the second half of her sentence, Jian Ning understood that these two were important figures.

She nodded slightly and said politely, "My name is Jian Ning. Hello, what are we going to do next?"

Xia gave her a wink, but Jian Ning didn't understand. Xia whispered, "Take Professor Jiang to see this vegetable garden properly. You can give him a tour and then take samples of soil and vegetables from different places."

Jian Ning nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."

Xia frowned. Hadn't he reminded him enough? This was a national-level agricultural researcher! His attitude, while not exactly respectful, shouldn't be more casual.

He secretly glanced at Professor Jiang's face and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party did not show any displeasure.

Jian Ning walked at the front, waved her hand and said, "These are all vegetables I grew. If you want to take samples, feel free to do so. Anyway, my vegetables are fine, so take whatever you want."

Professor Jiang looked at the vegetables; they all looked quite good and looked presentable.

However, there were quite a few wormholes on these vegetables, unlike what was said online that they were free of wormholes. I wonder if the taste is as amazing as the online reviews suggest.

Upon seeing the wormhole, he subconsciously squatted down to take a closer look.

After all, pests are one of the biggest headaches in agriculture, and preventing them requires careful consideration.

He touched the leaves, and suddenly his eyes saw black, round particles in the ground.

He picked one up, smelled it, and then crushed it with his fingers.

He stood up and asked, "Excuse me, what are these black, round things in the ground?"

Jian Ning was picking corn nearby. She had come to the vegetable garden specifically to bring back some vegetables she would eat in the next few days.

Hearing someone ask her a question, she put the corn in the basket and walked back. Seeing several swollen pills in the professor's outstretched palm, she replied, "A lot of caterpillars appeared in the field a while ago. This is what I use to kill them. What's wrong?"

After hearing the answer, Professor Jiang nodded, then squatted down and examined the vegetable leaves.

There are so many worm holes, so there should be a lot of worms, but now when I look through the vegetable leaves, I can't see any caterpillars, not even eggs.

He couldn't help but grab the soil and turn it over to check, but there were no traces of insects in the soil.

Professor Jiang stood up and asked again, "Where did you buy this insecticide, and what is its name?"

Jian Ning said, "I just made this up myself and randomly named it 'Brain-Expanding Pill,' which is the 'expanding' in 'bloating'."

Sorry to the alchemist who invented the Brain-Expanding Pill.

Xia, standing to the side, suppressed a laugh. How could anyone name their child like that?

Professor Jiang didn't pay much attention to the name, but was full of curiosity: "I see almost no green caterpillars in this field, not even eggs. Your brain-boosting pills are quite effective."

Jian Ning nodded, "Yes, the effect is quite good."

Professor Jiang then said, "Could you sell me some of your brain-boosting pills?"
My experimental base recently suffered from pest infestation due to inadequate pest protection. Unfortunately, the corn is almost ripe, making pesticide application impossible. I'm currently trying to find a solution, and I'd like to test its effectiveness against corn pests.

Jian Ning watched as he repeatedly squatted down, turning over the vegetable leaves with his hands, and even grabbing at the soil, seemingly unconcerned about getting his hands dirty. He was clearly a true farmer.

This is probably the kind of mutual appreciation that true farmers share.

She said, "No need, I'll give you some. I have plenty here."

Professor Jiang didn't mince words about it; he accepted the gifts and would repay the favor elsewhere later.

"Many thanks."

Xia, standing to the side, winked and whispered to the professor, "Um, Professor Jiang, we came here specifically to investigate her and take samples. People online are saying there's something wrong with her dishes."

Professor, why are you still here, offering to buy things from others?
