Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Xiao Su, why are you arguing with her? I was already determined to put this on your shoulders. Even if she goes back and makes a scene, I have ways to handle it. But she has the resources of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and professional equipment. Even if she secretly replaces the bacteria with the best strains from the lab and uses more advanced cultivation methods, we laymen won't be able to tell! No matter how skilled you are, can you grow something better than what's grown in a lab?"

In Li Aiguo's view, Comrade Su Wanqing was just putting on a brave face.

Liu Shuqing nodded, "It's called a competition, but what if they do something... we don't know. Comrade Xiao Su, you really only have 100 test tubes, but they might not."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing simply smiled and said, "Secretary Li, Secretary Liu, please rest assured. In some aspects, the laboratory... or rather, the so-called research institution, may not be as good as my simple methods."

Secretary Li is still too young and doesn't understand one principle—in the face of absolute external advantages, any technological or resource advantage is just a paper tiger.

Both of them shook their heads and sighed. Jiang Weiwei had the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences behind her, which had abundant resources and advanced technology.

What does Comrade Su Wanqing have to compare with others?

Jiang Weiwei looked at the 150 mycelium tubes in her hand—at her request, Liang Wenbin had given her an extra 50 tubes under the guise of technical adjustments. She thought of the 100 tubes that Su Wanqing had neatly arranged, and a contemptuous smile appeared on her lips.

"Su Wanqing, Su Wanqing, you're still too young and impulsive," she sneered inwardly. "A competition? I need to compete fairly with you? From the very beginning, I had half again as much mycelium as you, so my yield is destined to be hundreds of kilograms more. What makes you think you can beat me?"

Liang Wenbin, standing to the side, looked at the clearly excessive amount of mycelium and hesitated to speak:

"Comrade Jiang, according to regulations, the quota for each person in the initial trial phase is 100 sticks. The theoretical yield for one cycle is only about 300 jin (150 catties). Your 150 sticks...aren't they too conspicuous?"

Jiang Weiwei waved her hand dismissively.

"Technician Liang, you're overthinking it. With the national evaluation just around the corner, which experimental site isn't pulling out all the stops? I'm simply making full use of resources to achieve the best results. What the higher-ups care about is the performance; a slight adjustment to the process won't hurt."

Jiang Weiwei had already made up her mind that she would not only overwhelm Su Wanqing with quantity, but also use the constant temperature incubator that Su Wanqing brought to precisely control the temperature of bacterial growth and strive to shorten the cycle to within 30 days.

On the other side, Su Wanqing took her 100 mycelium strands back to the shady, empty room that had been assigned to her.

She carefully locked the door, looked at the white mycelium in the test tube in her hand, and smiled slightly.

"Jiang Weiwei, do you think you've already won?"

With a thought, she entered the Rubik's Cube space.

"Golden Elixir! Tenfold Return!"

In an instant, the Rubik's Cube space flashed with light, and 1000 identical test tubes appeared!

Su Wanqing looked at the magnificent scene with satisfaction.

She first took 200 tubes and transferred the mother culture mycelium from the test tubes into glass flasks containing a mixed culture medium of cottonseed hulls and wheat bran. This was a crucial step in obtaining a large quantity of culture.

Then, she secretly "planted" 500 test tube mycelia directly in the fertile soil grid. With her mind control, the fertile soil automatically wrapped the mycelia into the most suitable culture medium blocks, arranging them neatly.

Looking at the mycelium thriving simultaneously in the space and the laboratory, Su Wanqing smiled calmly.

"Jiang Weiwei, no matter how much mycelium you get by cheating in the lab, I can instantly have double, or even ten times, yours. You want to produce 800 jin? I can produce 1,000 jin. When they ask, I'll just say that my traditional method is good, the mycelium is vigorous, and the conversion rate is high."

She covered the bacteria on the shelf in the laboratory with a dark curtain to block out the light, creating a suitable environment for bacterial growth, then carefully locked the door and left in a good mood.

We returned to the vicinity of the educated youth settlement.

Su Wanqing noticed that it was unusually lively at this time. Because the autumn harvest was completed ahead of schedule, Tian Dahua and Erzhuzi's family discussed it and decided to hold the wedding ceremony and move into the new house ahead of schedule.

Sure enough, several square tables borrowed from the company canteen were set up in front of Tian Dahua's new house, with red and green fruit candies and sunflower seeds scattered on them.

A faint smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air, indicating that firecrackers had just been set off.

The most eye-catching thing was a brand-new Forever brand bicycle parked at the entrance, with a red ribbon tied to the handlebars—this was the dowry that Tian Dahua had saved up for herself over the years.

As for the bride price, it consisted of a Butterfly brand sewing machine, two thermos flasks, and a satin quilt cover embroidered with red double happiness symbols and mandarin ducks. This was supposed to be part of Tian Dahua's dowry, but for various reasons, her in-laws prepared it for her instead.

It's customary to have a banquet at dusk here, and this is the perfect time for it.

As soon as Su Wanqing walked over, she was spotted by the sharp-eyed Tian Dahua, who grabbed her arm and said, "Dr. Su! You're finally back! Come on, sit down and have a meal! I won't say much, but we'll be neighbors from now on, so let's look after each other!" As she spoke, she stuffed several fruit candies into Su Wanqing's hand.

Su Wanqing smiled and congratulated her, then turned around and went back to her home. She took out two glass jars of canned fruit from her spatial storage. In those days, this was definitely a presentable and valuable gift.

He returned to the table and handed the gift to Tian Dahua: "Captain Tian, ​​Comrade Erzhuzi, congratulations! I wish you a long and happy marriage, and that you will continue to advance hand in hand on the revolutionary road! This little something is to add a touch of sweetness to your new home."

When the educated youth around Su Wanqing brought out such rare canned fruit as a congratulatory gift, they all gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with envy.

Only Dr. Su, with her excellent medical skills and extensive network, could be so generous.

Su Wanqing: My heart aches, my heart aches. There were only 6 cans of fruit in total, but after the 10x multiplier, I got 60 cans. I secretly ate about 10 cans, and now there are only 40 cans left.

Strictly speaking, Su Wanqing and Tian Dahua are not neighbors, because Jiang Weiwei's house is in between.

Jiang Weiwei must have heard the commotion outside. She opened the door and came out. Seeing the canned food Su Wanqing had given her, she snorted coldly and took out a can of luncheon meat herself, her tone carrying an air of condescending arrogance:

"Captain Tian, ​​congratulations. This is just a small token of my appreciation. We'll all be neighbors from now on. I still need to tidy up my house, so I can't join you for the feast." With that, she put down the canned food, turned around, went back into her house, and closed the door. She never expected that her next-door neighbor would be Su Wanqing, this country doctor. What a small world!
