After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 95 Is this radish a bit too old?

"To be able to manage such a large area of ​​land so well and even make your own insecticide pellets, you can tell at a glance that you genuinely love gardening." Professor Jiang's implication was that he believed Jian Ning was innocent.

Researcher Li, the apprentice standing nearby, spoke up at the opportune moment: "Teacher, since we came here because of the online public opinion, and everyone is saying that there is a problem with her dishes, we should still take samples."

Upon hearing this, Jian Ning nodded firmly and said, "Yes, yes, you must take samples. Only in this way can we prove that those trolls on the internet are spreading rumors and that there is nothing wrong with my vegetables."

Professor Jiang looked at the girl's sincere expression and chuckled, "Alright, let's take some soil and vegetable leaves here first, and use the diagonal sampling method."

Xia immediately stepped forward and said, "Professor Jiang, let us do this little thing. You can just guide us from the side."

Professor Jiang waved his hand, showing no airs at all: "No need, you guys wait over there. I'm used to working with Xiao Li."

"Okay." Xia nodded immediately, her face filled with trepidation as she quickly stepped aside, afraid of delaying the professor's business.

Jian Ning didn't go anywhere else to pick vegetables; she waited for them to come along. She figured that while they were taking samples elsewhere, she could just pick some vegetables nearby.

After they finished collecting the samples, Jian Ning led them to continue forward.

I happened to be passing by a cornfield next to a vegetable field.

Professor Jiang couldn't help but take a closer look at corn, a crop he was very familiar with.

You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely, but the corn is growing incredibly well.

Professor Jiang's eyes lit up as he asked, "What variety is this corn? Is it genetically modified?"

Jian Ning replied, "I just bought some corn seeds at the farmers' market, but they're not genetically modified. I specifically asked the owner."

Professor Jiang couldn't help but stroke the plump ears of corn below, then touched the whitish silks hanging from the ears, and finally the thick leaves and stalks, exclaiming in amazement, "This corn is growing so well, young lady! How did you manage to produce such a high yield, and have each ear so plump?"

Jian Ning looked at the cornfield and said casually, "I just planted them randomly, I didn't expect them to grow so well."

Of course, it's because of its own immortal-grade wood spirit root, as well as the spiritual energy gathering array and the blessing of magic. It would be difficult for it not to grow well.

But how could she possibly say it?

So I can only use the tone I used when I was in school, something like, "Oh, I was just taking the test casually, I didn't expect to do so well."

Xia stared at Jian Ning with wide, incredulous eyes, her lips pursed, and she couldn't help but think to herself: "Do you want to hear what you're saying? Planting whatever you want? Isn't this slapping someone in the face? Especially in front of a national-level agricultural research scholar!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Jiang couldn't hide his admiration. "Young lady, don't be modest. Farming isn't that simple. Look at how well you manage so much land and grow such good crops. You must have put in a lot of hard work and sweat that most people can't see."

"I really didn't experience any hardship," Jian Ning told the truth this time.

She did put in a lot of hard work and sweat practicing magic, but with these cheating spells, farming didn't feel hard at all.

Professor Jiang had no idea about any of this, and his gaze toward Jian Ning became even more appreciative.

Nowadays, only some elderly people in rural areas are still farming. Most young people are unwilling to work on the land. They have to weed, fertilize, build trellises, water the fields when it's too dry, and prevent pests. They simply can't endure the hardships of farming.

I never expected that the young girl in front of me would not only be good at farming, but also make such a difficult task sound so easy.

This further demonstrates that she is humble, hardworking, and resilient.

Jian Ning walked ahead and continued to lead the way.

Professor Jiang praised to his apprentice, Researcher Li, who was standing next to him, "Not bad."

Researcher Li was stunned for a moment. His teacher was always strict and merciless when scolding him. He had almost never praised him. Suddenly being praised by his teacher made his heart beat faster for a few seconds.

He subconsciously curled his lips slightly, thinking to himself: It's just taking samples like usual, what's there to praise?

Then, Professor Jiang slowly continued, "This young girl has a certain tenacity. Find an opportunity to ask her if she'd like to join the research group." After all, he was getting old and couldn't supervise too many people.

It's time to delegate authority to the subordinates. He thinks this young lady is quite good, so he wants Xiao Li to take the initiative.

Researcher Li's face fell, and he raised the back of his index finger to lift his glasses frame. "I understand, teacher."

Professor Jiang reminded him, "Although we deal with crops every day, you are too straightforward. You need to learn more about the art of language."

Researcher Li understood that, in short, his teacher's words were pointing out his lack of emotional intelligence.

He gave a muffled reply, looked up at the back of the person walking in front, and felt somewhat indignant.

The teacher had never praised him before, but instead praised Jian Ning, whom he had just met.

She was just a celebrity before, and farming was probably just a passing fancy. How could she compare to someone like him who studied agriculture?

The group continued walking forward.

Jian Ning stopped in her tracks. "Everyone, I'll just pull some radishes here for a bit. Feel free to take any samples you like."

There wasn't much to see in the vegetable garden, and she had already led the way as planned.

If you go any further, you should turn back.

Jian Ning happened to see that the radish greens in the first plot of land she had cleared were already quite large, and the white radishes underneath needed to be pulled out.

She had previously made spicy dried radish, which was very popular, so she wanted to make more to send some to her grandmother, keep a jar for Chen Qian, and make some more for Nan Nan to eat when she came back.

When I have white rice porridge in the morning, I eat some spicy dried radish with it, which goes perfectly with the porridge.

When Researcher Li saw the vegetable patch, his eyes lit up. He then sternly reprimanded her, "How could you plant all these miscellaneous vegetables together like this! The radishes' nutrients will be absorbed by the other greens, and they won't grow tall. You're just messing around."

See? Jian Ning's vegetable gardening is just a mess.

I really don't understand why the teacher praised her.

He was better than Jian Ning in every way, yet he never received a single word of recognition from his teacher.

Jian Ning bent down, grabbed the radish leaves with both hands, and shook the soil from side to side to loosen it. Just as the person finished speaking, the white radish in her hand had just emerged from the soil, with only a little bit of the tail remaining in the ground.

She glanced back at Researcher Li.

Suddenly, they were caught in a dilemma: whether to pull the radish out or not.

Professor Jiang's eyes lit up. "This white radish is huge, it grows so fast! I've never seen anything like it before. Little girl, can you let me take a look?"

Jian Ning simply pulled out the last bit of the radish, handed it to Professor Jiang, and said casually, "Sigh, all the radishes in my field are like this."

Just moments before, this researcher Li, in a tone that suggested he was being condescending, told her that she was growing vegetables incorrectly and that the radishes weren't growing tall enough.

Her big radish was unearthed shortly after.

Fortunately, Jian Ning doesn't have the problem of feeling embarrassed for others.

Researcher Li swallowed hard, his previously loud voice softening as he asked in a low voice, "Teacher, isn't this radish a bit too old?"
