Chapter 54. Misunderstanding
Master Wang's thoughts were ignored, so he gave up the thought and replied cheerfully, "At 71, why should I be strong? As long as I can eat, sleep and walk, that's all."

"My brother is about the same age as my father. I can't really tell. He looks so young."

"How old is my fellow villager?"

"Little, fifty-three."

"That's still young. You are so lucky to have such a big vegetable garden with beautiful scenery."

"What kind of blessing is this? I have to dig for food in the fields to make a living."

The two of them were praising each other and having a nice chat, even calling each other brothers.

At this time, the nutritionist who came with the hospital's logistics director also strolled over from the other side of the vegetable field.

The voice arrived before the person arrived, and he greeted politely: "Hello, uncle, we are chatting."

After saying hello, the nutritionist walked along the ridge of the field towards the two of them and immediately saw the box in Luo Cheng's hand.

Black, hard leather, like a flattened suitcase. It looked familiar.

I asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"This." Luo Cheng raised the box in his hand. "It was sent from the capital yesterday. They asked me to collect some soil for testing. I don't understand it and don't know how to use it. I was thinking of asking my kid to do it when I get back."

"Can I take a look?" the nutritionist asked again.

Luo Cheng was very generous and handed over the box. "Here, look, this thing was cleared by you young people."

The nutritionist's surname is Feng, Feng Yun. He looks to be in his early thirties. In front of these two, he looks like a youngster.

Feng Yun took the box, which was not heavy. He lifted it up and held it flat in his hand, revealing the side that had been resting on Luo Cheng's thigh and was previously covered.

It is also the front of the box.

There are two lines of large white characters printed on the black leather surface.

【Soil organic matter portable sampling box】

【For the Institute of Crop Sciences, Academy of Agricultural Sciences】

……

Seeing the words above, Feng Yun's hands froze, then he changed his mind and smiled, "Uncle, are you going to collect soil?"

"That's right." Luo Cheng didn't hide anything and said directly, "My daughter-in-law works at the Imperial Capital Academy of Sciences. A few days ago, she asked for some soil from the fields to do some tests, and she needs to collect it regularly. But they sent this huge thing over, and she doesn't know how to use it."

Anyway, Luo Yihang said that this is not a secret and there is no need to hide it from others.

So Luo Cheng said it frankly.

It's just that Luo Cheng's appearance here with a suitcase at this time was arranged by Luo Yihang.

The purpose is just to cause a little misunderstanding.

The collection box was indeed sent by Ding Rui.

Since sending the vegetables that time, Ding Rui took the initiative to ask for vegetables to be sent back home twice.

Every time they were delivered to the dormitory, a lot of it would be snatched away by Sister Zhao next door, who would then show it off to the young man from the Agricultural Science Academy.

After a few visits, the young man from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences asked Sister Zhao to ask Ding Rui to find Luo Yihang again, saying that he wanted to collect some soil for testing.

Luo Yihang was more than happy to do so. He just didn't know how to explain why the quality of his products was so good. Now that Keshui had sent him a pillow, it was just the right time to use his power to make a profit.

Moreover, Luo Yihang also hopes that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences can research something and make a contribution to the country.

Anyway, Luo Yihang doesn’t want to do any unique business.

As I said, making money is secondary, as long as you have enough to spend, that’s enough.

What he wanted were plants all over the mountains and fields, which would drive the dual senses of earth and wood in his body to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.

Luo Yihang always has only one goal, which is to work hard to transform the environment, increase the concentration of spiritual energy, transform it into a paradise, practice hard, and strive to live to 200 years old.

Feng Yun squatted down, put the box on his legs and opened it, and found that there were quite a lot of things inside. The main body in the middle was a T-shaped steel pipe with a handle, stuck in the gray foam groove.

There is a row of grooves on the steel pipe, with several long and short straight steel pipes stuck on it.

There were also three pointed shovel-like objects stuck below, as well as a rod that looked like a reinforcement rod.

So professional.

One I don’t know.

Feng Yun scratched his head and asked, "Uncle, isn't there an instruction manual or something?"

"They said there was one, but I couldn't find it. Maybe I forgot to put it there."

"That shouldn't be the case. Let me look for it."

Feng Yun reached his hand into the box and felt around carefully, and actually found a layer on the inner wall of the box cover.

I opened it and saw another layer. There were indeed a few pieces of paper inside, and a bunch of small gray foam boxes, which contained scrapers, gloves, steel rulers, wrenches, labels, pens, and a rubber hammer.

And a whole row of transparent glass tubes that should be used to store soil samples.

It seems that this box has two layers.

Luo Cheng clapped his hands happily after seeing this and said with a smile: "You are still young, you are smart, there is another level."

With the instruction manual, Feng Yun finally understood how to use this thing.

It turns out that it is spliced ​​together. After being assembled according to the drawings, it looks like a steel pipe with a handle and a hollow drill bit installed. It is called a soil sampler.

The method of use is to assemble it and poke it into the ground, then use a rubber hammer to hit it into the soil. When you pull it out, the soil sample will be brought out together.

Those straight steel pipes are extension rods used to measure soil layers at different depths.

After the soil sample is taken out, use the provided sample pusher, which is the thing that looks like a reinforcing rod, to push it directly into the sampling container, which is the glass bottle.

Keep your hands clean throughout the process and try not to come into contact with the air to avoid contamination.

Finally, put on the label and you are done.

Feng Yun quickly assembled the collector, poked it into the ground and tried it out, and it was quite fun.

"Uncle, this is how you use it. Take out the sample, put the bottle in front, and push it like this, and it's done."

Luo Cheng also found it interesting and reached out for the bottle to take it.

Feng Yun quickly stopped him, "Uncle, not here. I'm just demonstrating it to you. It says that you need to use the double-line sampling method. Select five points on your land and use a ruler to poke 20 centimeters downwards. Here's a picture. Take a look."

Luo Cheng took the picture and understood it at a glance. It was a piece of ground with 5 holes poked in an X shape.

"It's quite troublesome." Luo Cheng curled his lips, thanked Feng Yun, greeted Master Wang, and told them to look around.

Then he left with the box and soil sampler.

……

Master Wang looked at Luo Cheng's departing back, smacked his lips, and muttered, "That's really exquisite."

"Look at what you said, uncle. Did you see the words above? How can something from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences not be exquisite?" Feng Yun added. He was quite talkative.

"Young man, do you think the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will also study the vegetables here?"

"It's hard to say, it looks like it." Feng Yun pondered for a moment, and added, "Maybe it's an acceptance test. You've heard that the quality became like this after the son came back. His daughter-in-law works at the Academy of Sciences, and now it seems that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is the one that wants soil samples. These two are both in the capital, so there may be some new technology used."

"Anyway, either the product is good and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has taken a fancy to it and wants to research it, or it uses the Academy of Agricultural Sciences' new technology."

It's possible, sometimes it's uncertain.

Master Wang was confused when he heard this, but he noticed one sentence, "You also say this place's stuff is good?"
