Chapter 177 176. Professor Du’s three strange questions.

The traction surgery gives the results very quickly.

Luo Yihang felt something in his heart, [neither good nor bad]

"Bah, it's useless."

However, with a sense of it, Luo Yihang knew that this cheap brother-in-law had something to ask for.

This is normal. How can someone be so devoted to someone the first time they meet?

It is normal to ask for something, but you just don’t know what you are asking for.

In the morning, Qi Ruomu said he would give Luo Yihang a dozen old tea trees as a gift.

I didn't take it too seriously at the time and just accepted it after a few polite words.

After seeing Qi Ruomu off in the evening, Luo Yihang did some research and found out online that an old Pu'er tea tree that was fifty years old was worth fifty thousand yuan.

If a tea plant is thirty or forty years old, even if it is green tea, its value would be at least twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

A dozen old tea trees and things worth three or four hundred thousand dollars were given away just like that.

Giving such a big gift, the request must be big.

It’s definitely not about raising earthworms.

anyway.

Although Professor Du's plan was conservative, it surprisingly fits Luo Yihang's current situation.

After the fourth stage of Qi training, the amount of spiritual energy required for cultivation increases greatly.

The spiritual energy gathered on the stage and in several spirit gathering arrays at home is not enough for his own cultivation.

Although the spiritual energy used in growing vegetables is mainly for nourishment, it will also consume some of it to a certain extent.

It doesn’t matter when you reach the third level, because you have endless spiritual energy.

not now.

Luo Yihang's solution was a stupid one.

A spirit gathering array was set up five kilometers away. In addition to waiting for the spiritual energy to spread naturally, it also actively gathered spiritual energy from farther away.

One is to use it as a power bank for your own practice.

Second, after a group of spirit gathering arrays in the distance become ineffective, the spiritual energy they gathered can be absorbed again by the spirit gathering arrays in the fields.

Form a echelon.

Or call it ants moving.

It also needs to be done step by step until it fits perfectly.

Anyway, there is no other solution.

Luo Yihang thought it was strange that every time they wanted to expand, they would lack key conditions.

The first time is money.

This time it's Reiki.

Just make do with it, what else can I do?

Then.

Things that need to be done.

If you want to rent a piece of land, that’s easy. There are plenty of fields on Taizi, but no one wants them.

If you want to reclaim some land, that’s easy. Just ask Li Zheng to come. The big machines will finish the work in a few days.

It is also easy to build a mushroom house.

I have enough money this time, so these are not a problem.

The problem is how to raise pigs and earthworms, how many people to hire, and who to hire.

The peppers were almost ready by the end of the month, and Master Xu had left, so I went to find Master Wang and asked for a recipe for chili oil.

If you add chili oil to the dish, it is considered food processing and you need a license.

There were so many things to do that Luo Yihang pondered over them for half the night and then simply gave up thinking about them.

He picked up Xiao Xiaoman and put him on his shoulders, then went downstairs.

The guitar was hung under the eaves.

He took two running steps, supported himself on the wall, jumped out, and ran up the mountain at full speed, heading straight for the Zhuling forest.

Ding Xiaoman followed closely behind with his tail erect.

Xiao Xiaoman clung to Luo Yihang's shoulders and cried out in fear at first.

After a while, it stopped barking and squinted its eyes to feel the wind blowing towards it...
-
The next day, Professor Du and his team arrived a little late.

It was the same three people from the day before yesterday, Professor Du, Qi Ruomu and the unnamed driver.

After getting off the car, Professor Du apologized without even having time to exchange pleasantries.

He called an old friend in the morning and the conversation lasted a little longer.

The time we have left at Luo Yihang’s house today is quite limited, so we won’t go in and will go straight up the mountain.

I didn't want to take a car to go up the mountain, I wanted to walk directly up.

Is this a matter of time or not?

On the road.

Luo Yihang took the initiative to say to Qi Ruomu: "Brother Qi, forget about the tea tree you mentioned yesterday. It's too expensive. I'm really embarrassed."

"What? You don't want it?" Qi Ruomu asked back.

Luo Yihang shook his head and said it again, "I didn't know when you said it yesterday. I checked it out at night. A dozen old tea trees and hundreds of thousands of dollars are too expensive. Otherwise, I'll give you the money and you give me a discount."

"What hundreds of thousands? Did Xiao Qi sell something to Xiao Luo?" Professor Du turned around and asked after hearing this.

"No, no, I didn't sell anything." Qi Ruomu quickly denied it three times, and then explained, "Didn't I do something for a tea factory in Mount Emei last year? The company thanked me and said they would give me a dozen old tea trees. I didn't have a place to plant them, so I thought of giving them to Xiao Luo. Junior brother's wife is related to his wife, so I have to give her a gift."

Professor Du felt something was wrong when he heard the words, "How old are these old tea trees?" "Thirty or forty years. Just ordinary Emei Mountain Green, not some precious tea variety."

"Hmm?" Professor Du stopped, put his hands behind his back and turned to stare at Qi Ruomu, "What do you want to do?"

As soon as he stopped, Luo Yihang and Qi Ruomu also stopped. When Luo Yihang heard Professor Du's question, he took a step to the side, letting Qi Ruomu out, and also stared at him.

"I think Xiao Luo's future will be very bright, so I want to make some good connections with him. We have so many junior brothers and sisters, college students and primary school students. It's hard to find a job now. More friends mean more opportunities. It will be easier to introduce him to others in the future. Besides, I didn't spend any money on the tea trees, so I'll just borrow their flowers to offer to the Buddha."

Not only Professor Du but even Luo Yihang didn't believe his reason.

Their junior and nephew brothers introduced them to Luo Yihang, how could Luo Yihang refuse? Just kidding, not only should he accept it, he should also thank him.

Professor Du looked at Qi Ruomu and shook his head. "Go on."

"Hehe, ok, I can't hide it from you." Qi Ruomu spread his hands, "Professor, didn't you mention it the day before yesterday? I thought it made sense. So what..."

I won’t say more about that later.

Professor Du frowned and asked, "Wenying will be back soon, right?"

"Yeah." Qi Ruomu also nodded.

"Okay." Professor Du turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

I also told Luo Yihang, "Old tea trees sound ridiculous online, but they are actually not that expensive. People in our line of work always come across them, so they are not rare. Xiao Qi deserves those dozen trees. They are a thank you gift for saving the tea garden of several thousand acres at the beginning of the year. Take them."

There is something behind this statement. How can the thank you be low for saving thousands of acres of tea plantations? And you still say it is not a rare thing?
You two old riddlers, it's really uncomfortable to stop talking halfway.

Luo Yihang poked Qi Ruomu and asked him in a low voice, "Who is Wenying? White Moonlight or Vermillion Mole?"

"Get out!" Qi Ruomu pushed Luo Yihang, but failed to move him.

Luo Yihang leaned towards him again and almost pushed Qi Ruomu to fall.

This is called the threat of force.

Qi Ruomu felt threatened and replied in a low voice, "That is our beloved senior sister."

"What's the matter with coming back?"

"Wenying has been in Eindhoven these years and will return to China next year."

"What about her and Professor Du? Is there any conflict?" Luo Yihang nudged Qi Ruomu with his shoulder and raised his eyebrows.

He loves to listen to gossip.

I imagined a lot of love, hate, and vengeance in my mind, such as going abroad despite opposition, ideological disputes, and so on.
Qi Ruomu twisted his shoulders and pushed Luo Yihang away. "No, nothing. Senior Sister was sent abroad for further studies. It was a serious exchange. There was no mess. There was no conflict with Professor Du."

Luo Yihang, I don’t believe it.

"There's no contradiction. You can give me such a big gift for her? Professor Du also kept it a secret from me. Also, what did Professor Du say the day before yesterday? Do you think it makes sense?"

Qi Ruomu glanced at Luo Yihang, then looked ahead, slowed down his pace, and explained in a low voice: "Professor Du thinks that your place is most suitable for breeding. My senior sister is engaged in breeding."

"She admires Academician Wu Mingzhu the most and is determined to become the new generation of Wu Mingzhu. Do you know Academician Wu Mingzhu?"

Luo Yihang shook his head.

Qi Ruomu looked at him with disdain. "Academician Wu Mingzhu and Yuan Lao were classmates. They have been rooted in XJ for half a century and have cultivated more than 40 varieties of watermelons in their lifetime. The fact that you can eat watermelons freely and the large watermelons that cost cents a pound in summer are the results of Academician Wu's research."

"She is my senior sister's idol, but she chose tomatoes. She specializes in tomatoes."

"She is in the Netherlands this time, staying for three years, planning to develop a disease-free tomato."

That’s great, that’s awesome.

"Did it succeed?" Luo Yihang was interested and asked hurriedly.

Qi Ruomu nodded, then shook his head, "Successful, and failed."

"The tomatoes she cultivated are indeed very disease-resistant, and can almost be said to never get sick. But the problem is that they don't bear fruit, and we can't even keep seeds for the next generation. We can only rely on tissue culture..."

"Uh..." Luo Yihang wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate.

Hold it in.

Qi Ruomu rolled his eyes at him and said helplessly: "Laugh, laugh, I don't blame you, we have laughed many times before."

"Professor Du also laughed?"

Luo Yihang suddenly asked back.

Qi Ruomu opened his mouth but said nothing.

At this time, Professor Du in front turned around and shouted, "What are you doing? You are dawdling. Hurry up."

Got it.

The two stopped chatting and hurried to catch up.

It didn't take long to walk along the road.

Reached the entrance of the platform.

Professor Du stopped here, pointed to the way he came and said with a smile: "This place is quite interesting. It has just this opening, and it surrounds the farmland above."

"That's right." Luo Yihang introduced, "We call this place Ping'angou, which means that once you enter this ditch, you will be safe. Before liberation, when bandits were rampant, people from all over the country came here to seek refuge. We sent a few strong men to block the entrance here, so the bandits couldn't get in no matter how hard they fought. Others lived peacefully by farming in there and returned home after the bandits left."

Professor Du smiled and nodded, then asked, "You guys in Ping'angou are quite wealthy, right?"

"Huh?" Luo Yihang was a little surprised. Why was he asking this?
But he still answered, "We were poor before, but we became rich after the third-line factory was built. There are only a few elderly people left in our village now, but they are actually rich. They have their own assets, and their children earn a lot. Growing some vegetables is a way to relieve boredom and make eating convenient."

"It's just that our family doesn't have any other way to make money, so we still take farming as a career."

Professor Du pointed at Luo Yihang and said with a smile: "You have a big business. Selling a corn for 59 is new to me."

Although he said it was new, he was actually not that surprised because he had seen it many times.

"Are you xenophobic here?" Professor Du asked the third question in a row.

This question is even stranger.

Luo Yihang shook his head. "Our village was originally moved here from all over for the Third Front construction. How can we be xenophobic?"

"Okay, okay." Professor Du's smile widened.

Luo Yihang was even more confused...
