Professor Gong looked at Lu Tianxi with majestic eyes and put on the air of being a teacher for decades.
He seemed to be teaching his students, with sharp words and firm sentences.
Lu Tianxi's light red lips parted slightly, looking into Professor Gong's solemn face.
She thought that the old man was quite stubborn. Judging from the sharp words of the other party, it was foreseeable that it would be difficult to change his firm mind.
But it cannot be denied that the doubts raised by Professor Gong were once on the minds of many people after the end of the world.
It was not until a few months later that the results of planting again and again made everyone feel a more desperate sadness than the zombie virus.
Lu Tianxi stood beside Lu Shirong who was reviewing the documents, with his hands on the table and his body leaning forward slightly.
She looked calm and said indifferently to Professor Gong: "If you don't believe it, you can start verifying it now.
I am here to see you today, hoping that you will cultivate excellent seeds that can adapt to the current environment and grow food that can be eaten by us. "
Lu Tianxi kicked the bag containing raw grains at his feet and asked with a smile on his lips: "This is unprocessed raw grains. It should be able to be used as seeds, right?"
She didn't want to argue with the other party about whether the land and water resources were seriously polluted. She just wanted the other party to seize the time to conduct experiments.
Although Lu Tianxi's attitude was polite, Professor Gong still noticed her displeasure.
He adjusted his facial expression and stepped forward, opened the bag and grabbed a handful of wheat grains inside.
Professor Gong frowned as he touched the wheat grains in his hand that were filled with a faint pungent smell.
After looking at it for a while, he nodded: "Okay."
Lu Tianxi pointed his slender fingers on the desk and asked uncertainly: "How long is the growth cycle of wheat?"
Professor Gong: "About three months."
Lu Tianxi frowned slightly. She couldn't wait that long to verify whether the seed potion was effective.
In order to get satisfactory feedback, she held her chin and asked Professor Gong: "Do you know which vegetables have the shortest growth cycle?"
Professor Gong pondered for a moment and then said: "The most common bean sprouts can be harvested in a week. There are also water spinach, Chinese cabbage, cherry radish, lettuce, spinach, rocket, chrysanthemum, and green onions. These common vegetables take about twenty days. You can harvest.”
A smile appeared on Lu Tianxi's face: "I bought a lot of vegetable seeds at the grain and oil market before, which may be of use. Please wait a moment."
She turned her head and looked at Lu Shirong, who was sitting on the office chair, and said with a smile: "Uncle, help me entertain Professor Gong. I'll be right back."
Lu Shirong's eyebrows were gentle: "Don't be in a hurry, just take your time and prepare."
After Lu Tianxi left, Lu Shirong stopped reading the food report document and turned the writing pen with his knuckled fingers.
He lowered his eyes slightly and took the initiative to break the silence in the room.
"Professor Gong, Xiao Xi agreed to save your life only after she nodded. Although she is gentle and easy to get along with, I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice.
You are so old, and you must also want to live a stable life. In the future, just do what Xiaoxi says, and if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me directly. "
The voice is deep and gentle, the words are clear and there is a slight sense of pressure.
"..." Professor Gong's old face turned red.
Lu Tianxi has a gentle temperament? ? ?
Why didn't he see it? He just felt that there was a fierce and fierce light surging deep in the child's eyes. Staring for a long time made people feel chilly.
Moreover, he is still threatened by young people at such an old age.
Are people nowadays so disrespectful of the old and the young?
Professor Gong knew how high the Lu family stood before the end of the world. Even if the end of the world came, they still planned to build a safe base in an orderly manner, and they had even put the plan into action.
He was very knowledgeable about current affairs and nodded: "I understand, Miss Lu thinks highly of me, and I am not a ungrateful person."
"You may be wrong about me." Lu Shirong raised his head and looked at Professor Gong calmly: "You can communicate with Xiao Xi. She needs the ability to think from others' perspective and judge the pros and cons of things.
However, I hope that the final result after your communication will still focus on meeting her needs, and that you will remain tight-lipped during the implementation process. "
Professor Gong couldn't laugh or cry: "You are really..."
He thought for a long time and didn't know how to describe the man in front of him.
Regardless of whether Lu Tianxi is right or wrong, she must meet her requirements.
Lu Shirong was a little too pampered.
But he also asked Lu Tianxi to be sensible and distinguish between right and wrong.
This kind of rational tolerance and pampering is really rare in today's environment where children are spoiled without a bottom line.
The pen in Lu Shirong's hand tapped on the table, recalling Professor Gong's contemplation, and continued: "Xiao Xi will arrange people for you when she comes back, and they will all be selected by me personally.
These people are worthy of the Lu family's trust. They will never reveal anything about the Lu family. I hope you can be trustworthy too. "
These words of warning gave Professor Gong the illusion that he was taking on a very important task.
After living so long, Professor Gong thinks that today's young people are overly pretentious.
He has been dealing with land and crops all his life, and he really doesn't think what he needs to do next is very important.
However, the Lu family is his savior after all, and he will not refute the other party's face.
Professor Gong corrected his attitude and nodded solemnly: "I will not betray your and Miss Lu's trust."
At this time, he did not know that what he was about to do was the hope of survival for mankind around the world and an achievement that could be recorded in history.
Lu Tianxi came back again, carrying a sack weighing a hundred kilograms with his petite but plump body.
She dropped the vegetable seeds that had been transformed by the potion at Professor Gong's feet.
The sack was opened, revealing the mung beans in the bag.
Lu Tianxi said to Professor Gong: "These are ten kilograms of mung beans. I hope you can take care of the soaking in person. You don't need to use the water we drink, just rain or river water outside."
This time, Professor Gong changed his previous attitude and said with a smile: "Humans and viruses will coexist sooner or later. It is indeed a good idea to cultivate food and vegetable seeds that can adapt to the new environment.
However, this process takes a long time. I will record their daily growth and changes to ensure that you know as soon as possible. "
Sensing his change, Lu Tianxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work."
Professor Gong waved his hand quickly: "This is what I should do."
His life was saved by others, and all he had to do was to go back to his old business, not even repaying his kindness.
Lu Tianxi raised his hand to give a high-five, and seven or eight men and women with good auras walked in from outside.
She pointed at these people and said to Professor Gong: "These people are the assistants assigned to you. They will help you find planting workers and the machinery needed for planting. I hope you can maximize the effectiveness of these seeds as soon as possible."
Professor Gong frowned and looked at the eight men and women, wondering if it was too much to cultivate twenty acres of land, not only assign assistants to him, but also recruit workers.
Although he had doubts, he didn't ask any more questions this time because of Lu Shirong's previous warning.
