"Yeah, but you don't need to pay, I can afford to pay for it." Ye Lianyin rejected Qin Zhaoci's proposal. "I'll go to Lin Jiayi's classroom tomorrow and ask her if she has time."
"Okay, if you have any inconvenience, just ask me for help." Qin Zhaoci patted her chest, "I'm very reliable."
"Mhm." Seeing Qin Zhaoci's eagerness to recommend herself, Ye Lianyin shook her head speechlessly and amusingly, "I will definitely find you if I need something to ask."
After discussing with Qin Zhaoci, Ye Lianyin went to school the next morning, and went to the classroom where Lin Jiayi's first class was located.
"Lin Jiayi, Xiaohua is looking for you."
After walking to the door of the classroom and telling her purpose, the students majoring in home design went to call Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi raised her head in confusion, and saw Ye Lianyin, who was standing upright at the door, frowned in surprise: "She's looking for me?"
"Yeah." Lin Jiayi's classmate nodded impatiently. "I really don't know when did you become close with the the school's flower."
Lin Jiayi did not answer him, stood up from her position and strode to the door of the classroom.
Seeing Ye Lianyin at the door, Lin Jiayi clenched her fists nervously and tried to calm herself up. After she stepped forward and asked: "Do you need something from me?"
Ye Lianyin turned her head to look at her and pursed her lips unspeakably: "That's right, Sister Lin, you already know that I have been doing experiments with home design recently, right?"
"To be honest, it's only been a year since I entered the Spaceship design major. In terms of professional knowledge, I'm still lacking a lot in many places, so when I was doing home design experiments, I also repeatedly hit a wall." [to come to a point beyond which there is no further progress.]
"In order to produce the experiments and finished the products as soon as possible, I would like to ask you Sister Lin if you have time to spare two hours a day to help me make up lessons."
"Make-up lessons?" Lin Jiayi didn't expect that Ye Lianyin took the initiative to come to her for this matter, and she frowned subconsciously.
Ye Lianyin hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I won't ask a favor for nothing. After all, I also know that Sister Lin is also very busy with her studies and work, so I will pay for the corresponding class time. You can just come up with a price."
Lin Jiayi pursed her lips, her delicate brows curled slightly, and her expression was very tangled. After a moment of silence, Ye Lianyin thought she was going to refuse.
Lin Jiayi suddenly said: "Okay, you can calculate the class fee for me according to the market price. What you need is only experimental guidance, so you don't need to spare time to supplement theoretical knowledge."
"Just in time, I also go to the laboratory to do experiments on time at two o'clock every afternoon. If you don't mind, just come to the laboratory and find me. I can guide you through the experiment."
"That would be great. " Ye Lianyin clapped her hands, "Thank you, Sister Lin."
Lin Jiayi shook her head, "No need to thank me, I charge for it."
Ye Lianyin nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, Sister Lin, I also want to ask if you have already signed a company, because If I'm doing this, after the results, I may have to apply for a patent, if you have a contract, it may not be very convenient."
Lin Jiayi shook her head: "Don't worry, I haven't signed a company yet. I'm thinking about starting my own business recently, and I don't plan to sign a contract with a company."
"In that case, then I'm relieved, thank you, Sister Lin, I'll go now first." After Ye Lianyin talked about everything, she nodded slightly at Lin Jiayi, said goodbye and left.
Lin Jiayi stood still, looking at Ye Lianyin's back that gradually disappeared at the corner of the corridor, her clenched fists slowly loosened, and her expression relaxed a lot.
When she got back inside the classroom, many gossiping classmates asked Lin Jiayi what was going on.
Lin Jiayi didn't want to talk to them, just opened the book and continued to study.
Unlike Ye Lianyin who went to the teacher to make up lessons, Qin Zhaoci also came to the laboratory early today.
Her impression of a laboratory is that it is filled with colorful chemical reagents, some of which are even floating in a white mist, giving people a sense of erratic and profound.
But when she entered Bai Qingci's laboratory, she instantly felt as if she had entered a miniature forest.
There are plants everywhere in the laboratory. These plants are tall and short, and they are scattered in various corners of the laboratory. In addition to plants, there are many animal skeletons and fossils staggered.
Qin Zhaoci looked around curiously, and finally found Bai Qingci who was doing experiments on the laboratory table among the dense plants.
At this time, she was wearing a white lab coat and a pair of transparent lab protective glasses on her face.
"Teacher Bai," Qin Zhaoci called out, "what are you doing?"
Bai Qingci looked up at her, and pointed to the shelf next to her: "Put on the lab coat, this is the laboratory standard, you have to wear it every time you enter the laboratory."
"Okay." Qin Zhaoci followed the direction she said, and found a suitable lab coat.
"This is the soil sample you gave me yesterday, I'm making a laboratory set based on their composition."
Only after Qin Zhaoci put on her lab coat did Bai Qingci explained what she was doing.
"Teacher Bai, you said yesterday that you were doing an experiment on the effect of the soil environment on plant growth. What kind of plants do you plan to use for this experiment?"
Bai Qingci frowned: "I'll just use the ordinary flowers and plants of the Empire."
"Is the soil of the Empire used by the control group?" Qin Zhaoci continued to ask.
Bai Qingci nodded: "Yes, the main thing is to compare the soil of the Empire."
Qin Zhaoci frowned: "Teacher Bai, I went to get a sample yesterday and the researchers there told me that the soil of the Empire contains growth factors, so the plants grown in the soil of the Empire have a very fast growth rate, but the soil I brought does not have this characteristic, and the plants growth speed is far inferior to the plants in the Empire."
Bai Qingci nodded: "You are right, but in different soils, the characteristics of the final plant growth are also different. Although the things that come out of the Empire's soil grow fast, the corresponding flowering period is also very slow. Every year, the people of the Empire can only enjoy the flowers in a very short period of time. If they miss it, they can only wait for another year."
"So?" Qin Zhaoci touched her chin, "So the slow-growing, relative flowering period will also be much longer."
"That's the way it's supposed to be," Bai Qingci nodded.
"In that case," Qin Zhaorin frowned and silently made a decision in her mind, "Teacher Bai, can you use this seed to plant?"
Qin Zhaoci took out a palm-sized paper bag of seeds from her pocket and handed it to Bai Qingci.
Bai Qingci frowned, opened the paper bag, examined the seeds inside for a few seconds, and looked up at Qin Zhaoci with some puzzlement: "What kind of plant seeds are these? I don't think I've ever seen them in the Empire."
Qin Zhaoci: "I got this kind of seed by accident. I'm also asking Teacher Bai to help me keep it secret. I can't tell you the specific source. Also, this seed can grow oval red fruits about two to three centimeters in size."
"This kind of fruit is directly edible, Teacher Bai, I might as well tell you the truth, I have actually planted it in the soil of the Empire, and the fruit that came out of it, although beautiful in appearance, tasted sour and had very little moisture. Compared with the soil of the other two samples, the grown ones are much more unpalatable."
"I've been wondering what exactly the reason is, and since it just so happens that you, Teacher Bai, are doing related experiments, I'd like to ask you, the professional, to help me with my research to find out the specific reason."
Bai Qingci frowned, "So you wanted to enter our profession just to figure out the reason?"
"Yes." Qin Zhaoci nodded, "This is the business project I want to develop in the future."
"Aren't you afraid I'll leak the information if you tell me in advance?" Bai Qingci was a bit curious.
Qin Zhaoci smiled and shook her head, "Firstly, I don't think you are such a person, perhaps it's just an intuition, intuition tells me that you are only interested in experimental research, and secondly, I am confident that even if you leak it out, Teacher Bai, no one else will be able to replicate the seeds."
"Ok, I promise you." Bai Qingci stared at Qin Zhaoci's eyes for a long time, and finally nodded her head and agreed.
"Oh by the way, Teacher Bai." Qin Zhaoci took out five or six finished fruits from her pocket and handed them over to Bai Qingci, "These are the fruits that I planted using the soil of Sample No. 1. You can try them and you'll understand why I'm saying this."
Bai Qingci stared at the red fruit in her hand, looking a little hesitant, after all, she had never seen this kind of food before, so she was still a little apprehensive about whether she should eat it or not.
Qin Zhaoci also noticed her concerns, so she generously picked up one, stuffed it into her mouth, quickly chewed and swallowed it.
Seeing that she had eaten it, Bai Qingci immitated her at ease, picked up a fruit, stuffed it into her mouth, and slowly chewed it.
As soon as she bite down, the juice that belongs to the fruit overflows the entire mouth. The juice is sweet and slightly sour, but the taste is just right, the sweetness neutralizes the slightly sour, and overall, it's very delicious.
"What's the name of this fruit?" After eating, Bai Qingci took the rest and put it in a storage basket beside it.
Qin Zhaozhi did not think twice: "Well ...... it's called the Holy Maiden Fruit."
"Holy Maiden fruit?" Bai Qingci stared at the basket aside and muttered, "Well, not bad."
"Oh, by the way, Teacher Bai, this fruit can't be stored for too long, if you don't finish it as soon as possible, it's best to put it in the refrigerator." Qin Zhaoci didn't forget to remind Bai Qingci.
Bai Qingci poured the seeds in the paper bag into the laboratory beaker, stared at the bottom of the beaker about thirty seeds, and asked, "Are there any precautions for planting?"
Qin Zhaoci thought about the planting books she had read and recalled, "First, soak the seeds in water at 50 degrees Celsius for half an hour, and when the water temperature gradually drops to 20 degrees Celsius, soak them for another ten hours, and then finally take them out. Then, clean the mucus on the surface, wrap them in a wet cloth, and then germinate them in a room at 28 degrees Celsius. After the seeds turn white, they will be ready to be planted. The empire's temperature is very suitable for the growth of this plant."
"The rest of the nutrients and the like, you'll have to do your own research, Teacher Bai, I'm not sure what fertilizer nutrients are available in the Empire."
"Okay, I understand," Bai Qingci nodded, "I'll do my research, I really want to know how in the world such a fruit grows."
"Yeah, but you don't need to pay, I can afford to pay for it." Ye Lianyin rejected Qin Zhaoci's proposal. "I'll go to Lin Jiayi's classroom tomorrow and ask her if she has time."
"Okay, if you have any inconvenience, just ask me for help." Qin Zhaoci patted her chest, "I'm very reliable."
