Traveling through time with spatial abilities, the scientific research genius is a little sweet.

Chapter 71 The Persistent Chu Mingzhou
After chatting with her roommates, Su Nuannuan took a shower and went to bed.

The other three knew that Su Nuannuan liked to go to bed early. Besides, she had class tomorrow. Therefore, none of them realized that Su Nuannuan hadn't slept at all.

After getting into bed, Su Nuannuan pulled the mosquito net shut, making it impossible for anyone outside to see inside. She then spread out the blankets and entered the space.

This time, instead of practicing basic surgical procedures first, she wandered around the ten acres of land in the space.

Su Nuannuan planted ginseng on one acre of the land. She felt that she would encounter some valuable Chinese medicinal herbs in the future, so she reserved this land specifically for growing expensive medicinal herbs.

Another acre was planted with other medicinal herbs transplanted from Hongqi Village by Su Nuannuan. Although these herbs weren't worth much money, they grew in her spatial dimension, making them much more effective than those grown outside. Su Nuannuan felt that traditional Chinese medicine made from herbs grown in her spatial dimension would be even more effective. Therefore, Su Nuannuan decided to use this land specifically for growing common Chinese medicinal herbs. Once the herbs were grown, she would try to see if she could process them into finished medicines.

Su Nuannuan discovered that some of the herbs she had transplanted earlier had matured and were ready to be harvested. She harvested the mature herbs and stored them in the still space on the first floor. She planned to process them later when she had time.

However, the variety of medicinal herbs was still too limited. Su Nuannuan thought she should buy some herb seeds during her next holiday.

Su Nuannuan looked at several other plots of land and felt it was a waste to leave them empty.

Thinking of the fruit tree saplings and seeds stored in the still house, Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up. Since the spiritual energy in your space is so abundant, the fruit grown there should taste even better.

Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan took out the fruit tree seedlings and seeds.

She first found the seeds for watermelon, strawberry, and grape. She planned to plant these three fruits on one acre of land. One acre is approximately 666 square meters, and Su Nuannuan decided to use 222 square meters for each type of fruit.

Su Nuannuan used her mental power to control the process and began planting the fruit seeds. The watermelons and strawberries were fine, but the grapes would need trellises after they sprouted.

This time, Su Nuannuan didn't feel as tired using her mental power. Just as she had guessed, the more frequently mental power was used, the stronger it became.

Su Nuannuan didn't stop; she found more fruit tree saplings, preparing to plant an orchard. This time, Su Nuannuan chose three acres of land. She planned to plant 50 fruit trees on each acre.

Once the fruit trees were planted, Su Nuannuan never considered uprooting them. Therefore, she planted them very carefully this time. She planted more than fifty kinds of fruit tree seedlings, including peach, cherry, apple, pear, lychee, orange, pomelo, and banana trees, grouping similar trees together.

On average, Su Nuannuan planted two to three saplings per tree. Each fruit tree should yield one to two hundred kilograms of fruit, enough for Su Nuannuan and her family to eat.

There were four acres left, which Su Nuannuan hadn't planned. She'd leave them for when she needed them later.

Looking at the land she had planted, Su Nuannuan smiled with satisfaction. She thought about how she would make dried fruit and send it home when the fruit ripened.

Moreover, in winter, sending some fresh fruit home might prevent it from spoiling.

Su Nuannuan drank a cup of spiritual spring water to restore her mental strength and then began practicing the basic procedures of surgery.

The next day, Su Nuannuan began a new week of classes.

On the first day of school, the rules were still followed. After the morning classes, Su Nuannuan began packing her schoolbag.

Just then, Wang Dong suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Su Nuannuan, someone is looking for you outside."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan looked towards the doorway and saw Chu Mingzhou standing there, looking at her.

Noticing that Su Nuannuan was looking at him, he nodded to her.

Although Su Nuannuan wasn't close to Chu Mingzhou, she had a good relationship with the rest of the Chu family. Therefore, when Chu Mingzhou contacted her, Su Nuannuan assumed that someone from the Chu family had asked him to pass on a message.

In order not to keep Chu Mingzhou waiting, Su Nuannuan quickly packed her schoolbag and left the classroom.

Chu Mingzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Nuannuan come out.

"I'll treat you to lunch. We can talk while we eat."

Su Nuannuan looked at Chu Mingzhou with a puzzled expression. Their relationship wasn't close enough for him to invite her to dinner. Su Nuannuan decisively declined Chu Mingzhou's invitation and asked him why he had come to see her.

"No need, did you need something?" Chu Mingzhou frowned slightly when Su Nuannuan refused. However, he still insisted.

"Let's have dinner together."

Seeing Chu Mingzhou's relentless attitude, Su Nuannuan sighed and agreed.

"Ok."

Su Nuannuan had no choice but to agree. If the two continued this stalemate, she would miss the cafeteria's mealtime.

The two started walking towards the cafeteria, and Chu Mingzhou didn't say anything along the way.

Su Nuannuan glanced helplessly at the boy to her left. Although Chu Mingzhou hadn't revealed his purpose in seeking her out, she vaguely guessed that it had nothing to do with the rest of the Chu family.

The two arrived at the cafeteria, where Chu Mingzhou and Su Nuannuan stood in silent queue, a stark contrast to the bustling atmosphere.

"Chu, what exactly do you want from me?"

Chu Mingzhou pursed his lips and spoke.

"I'll tell you after we finish eating."

Chu Mingzhou refused to say anything, and Su Nuannuan couldn't do anything about it.

Finally, it was the two of them's turn. Chu Mingzhou was in front of Su Nuannuan in line, and he ordered a stew of potatoes and chicken with white rice.

Su Nuannuan glanced at today's menu and ultimately ordered a stewed chicken with potatoes. It wasn't that Su Nuannuan didn't want to eat the other dishes, but rather that the other dishes didn't look appetizing at all. Although there were three meat dishes, the other two only contained a few bits of minced meat, and while there weren't many pieces of chicken in the stewed chicken with potatoes, the potatoes were stewed until very soft and tender, and looked very flavorful.

The two found a corner, sat down, and began to eat.

Chu Mingzhou ate very politely. However, he had a habit of stuffing a large mouthful into his mouth and then chewing with his mouth closed, making his cheeks puff out and look rather cute.

Su Nuannuan glanced at it, her face expressionless.

After the two finished their meal, Chu Mingzhou finally revealed the reason why he had come to see her that day.

“Su, I want to buy wild ginseng slices, at the same price as last time, 100 yuan per gram.”

As soon as Chu Mingzhou finished speaking, Su Nuannuan frowned. She hadn't expected that Chu Mingzhou was still persistent and actually wanted to buy wild ginseng slices from her.

Although Su Nuannuan really wanted to make money, the amount was too large, and she wasn't sure if Ji Lan and Chu Wenzhu knew about it, so she couldn't agree to Chu Mingzhou's request.

In order to prevent Chu Mingzhou from bothering her again, Su Nuannuan spoke up.

"I have no more ginseng slices."

"No, you do."

However, as soon as Su Nuannuan spoke, Chu Mingzhou replied.

The boy stared intently at Su Nuannuan, as if he would keep pestering her if she refused to sell to him.

However, Su Nuannuan still replied.

"I do not have."

"You have."

Su Nuannuan was helpless.
