Chapter 101 Selling All the Seeds to Us

Jian Ning tasted all the different varieties of strawberries on each stall.

The salesman, seeing her interest in strawberries, proactively introduced them to her: "The Suizhu variety is delicious, easy to grow, and highly resistant to pests, making it our main recommended variety. Xuanyu is also good, a popular choice among strawberry enthusiasts. Varieties like Fenyu and Danxue have a different taste compared to other strawberries."

Jian Ning listened patiently as he finished explaining everything, and then selected 2000 strawberry seedlings of four varieties.

She chose varieties that she thought tasted good.

Jian Ning took out her phone to pay the deposit.

The remaining balance can be paid tomorrow after the strawberry seedlings are delivered and inspected and found to be in good condition.

Xiao Li immediately pulled out a black card.

Jian Ning reacted quickly, snatched the card, stuffed it back into his pocket, and then scanned the code with her phone, making the payment in a flash.

Xiao Li looked down at her, his gaze deep.

Jian Ning said jokingly, "My strawberry farm doesn't accept anyone as a shareholder."

Xiao Li's deep-set eyes curved into a smile as he chuckled softly and replied, "Okay."

After ordering the strawberry seedlings, Jian Ning and Xiao Li continued their shopping.

She didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here.

Professor Jiang, who had initially looked at his students with disdain, noticing even the sample seeds he was demonstrating were flawed, instantly softened when he saw Jian Ning.

Jian Ning took the initiative to step forward and greeted him, "Professor Jiang."

Professor Jiang asked her, "Young lady, what are you doing here?"

Jian Ning said, "A friend told me there was an agricultural fair here. I was quite interested in these things and wanted to grow some different things at the resort, so I came to take a look."

Professor Jiang nodded appreciatively, then turned to the girl beside him and said, "Ayou, this is Jian Ning, the owner of the Farming Sect that I mentioned to you before."

Then, he introduced Jian Ning: "This is my apprentice, Jiang You."

Jiang You, with her hair neatly styled in a high ponytail, exuded a capable aura. She generously extended one hand and said, "Hello, I've seen your acting before, and you were very good. I didn't expect you to be so much more handsome in person than on TV."

Jian Ning politely returned the handshake and smiled, saying, "Hello."

It was only then that Professor Jiang noticed the people around Jian Ning.

He's getting old, and he's always strict with his students at work. But in private, he's just an ordinary person, not always so tense, and he likes to joke around with these kids.

He chuckled and asked, "Is this your boyfriend?"

Jiang You followed his teacher's gaze and recognized him immediately, "President Xiao!"

Professor Jiang looked at his apprentice Jiang You with surprise and asked, "You know him?"

Jiang Youwei lowered his head and whispered to his teacher, who had face blindness and couldn't remember people, "The Xiao Group, which previously invested in our project for free, is headed by the president of the Xiao Group."

Professor Jiang suddenly remembered that there was such a thing.

Xiao Li nodded politely and stood behind Jian Ning, not wanting to overshadow her.

Professor Jiang glanced at him, then looked at Jian Ning, "Hmm, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match."

Jian Ning: "..."

She explained, "The professor is a friend."

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm old. I understand what you young people are thinking," Professor Jiang said with a smile, then brought up something more important. "By the way, I tried the brain-boosting pills you gave me last time. They were very effective, and the corn pest infestation has been significantly reduced."

He had originally planned to visit Jian Ning at Huayue Villa again, but he never expected to run into her here.

"I wonder if you could sell us some brain-boosting pills?" Professor Jiang asked very sincerely, then quickly added, "Young lady, we can't give you any more this time. We need a large quantity, and there's no reason for us to take your money for nothing."

Jian Ning asked, "How many do you want?"

Professor Jiang said, "We'll take as much as you make." With such good stuff, Professor Jiang would only complain about having too little, not too much.

Moreover, he not only has experimental bases in Beicheng, but also in seven major experimental bases across the country, where he can conduct trials.

The ingredients of this brain-boosting pill have also been tested and found to be all-natural, with no chemical pesticide residues.

He even discovered that the brain-expelling pills not only had insecticidal effects but also had some fertilizing properties. The cornfields that had been sprayed with the brain-expelling pills in the past few days were growing significantly better than the other plots.

Jian Ning nodded and replied, "Okay."

This brain-boosting pill is a low-level medicine; she could make it with just a soybean doll, so it didn't require her to expend any effort at all.

Although she is not short of money now, who would complain about having too much money?

"There's one more thing," Professor Jiang said with a particularly serious expression. "Young lady, could you save the seeds from your cornfield and then sell them all to us?"

Professor Jiang has been dedicated to researching ways to increase the yield of major crops such as corn and soybeans for many years, but unfortunately this high-yield corn experiment still failed.

He thought of the corn that Jian Ning planted at the mountain villa, whose yield was visibly much better than that of the experimental base.

If the seed can be successfully saved, corn with a higher yield per acre can be grown.

That would be a major breakthrough for the country in agriculture.

Of course, if it succeeds, the seed will naturally be registered under Jian Ning's name.

Professor Jiang has lived for so many years and no longer cares about fame. He only hopes to solve the problem of insufficient corn and soybean production in the country before he dies, so that the country will no longer rely on foreign imports.

Jian Ning has planted quite a lot of corn at the villa; they can't possibly eat it all.

"Sure, I grow a lot. I keep some for myself and for the chickens and ducks, and I can sell the rest."

Professor Jiang was incredibly grateful when he heard that Jian Ning had agreed so readily.

“Young lady, you can name your price.” Professor Jiang turned to look at Jiang You. “Add her on WeChat, and you’ll be in charge of handling this matter afterwards.”

Last time he brought Xiao Li along, but unfortunately that guy was a blockhead and didn't get it at all.

Ah You is quick-witted, so I feel more at ease leaving this matter to her.

Jiang You and Jian Ning added each other on WeChat.

Professor Jiang added, "Xiao You attends the exhibition every year, so she knows this place best. Shall we have her show you around and introduce it to you?"

Jian Ning originally wanted to refuse.

Jiang You said enthusiastically, "I know all the farmers here. I know exactly what varieties they have developed and which varieties are good. Just think of me as your guide at this exhibition."

With the other party being so enthusiastic, Jian Ning had no reason to refuse.

"Okay."

Professor Jiang glanced back at the students he had brought. Every one of them looked away when they met his eyes, as if they were afraid of him.

Is he that scary?

Why isn't Jian Ning afraid of him?

He said, "I happen to be free too, so I'll take a walk with you."

As a result, the exhibition that Jian Ning originally visited with one other person turned into a group of four.

The advantage is that Jiang You is very familiar with the entire exhibition, and Professor Jiang will automatically explain the science behind some plants to her.

Jian Ning quite liked this feeling.

Just like visiting a museum, if you just rush through it, you won't gain anything.

Having an encyclopedia explaining things next to you makes a completely different feeling.
