Chapter 1870: Plant Growth Notebook

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

The principal also took Qiao Mei’s plant growth notebook and flipped through it. He said in satisfaction, “This notebook is done quite well. It’s exactly the same as what I usually see when I pass by on the way to work. Moreover, this notebook can also be a reference for all of us in the future. Qiao Mei has really put in a lot of effort.”

“That’s true. This is even more detailed and well-kept than our teachers’ notebooks. I wonder if Qiao Mei is willing to let the faculty keep this notebook so that it can be used as a reference for everyone?” the dean asked.

“Of course you can,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

The methods which Qiao Mei used were all the most basic ones. However, she would adjust the amount of sunlight, water and fertilizer based on her experience. She would definitely be able to grow strawberries that were even more delicious than the ones in the market now. However, what set her strawberries apart from others was the energy she infused into them.

The other students who had competed with Qiao Mei earlier also went forward to take a look at her notebook. After everyone took a look, they could not help but give Qiao Mei a thumbs up.

The photo studios would charge five dollars each for color photos like these!

Qiao Mei took three photos a day and had intended to do that for 20 days! They were definitely unable to do the same. At most, they would take one photo at the end of the process for record. People without a good family background would not be able to spend money like Qiao Mei.

“When did you take these photos? Why didn’t I know that you came back?” Wu Duo asked in surprise.

“Of course I have to put in some effort for my own strawberries! Can they grow well by themselves? I still have to come back and water the plants!” Qiao Mei said.

Wu Duo and the others strictly followed Qiao Mei’s instructions and only stood outside the experimental field to stand guard. When Qiao Mei came back to take a look at the strawberries, she would find a time when there were less people around or when everyone was in class. She did not let anyone see her taking photos either. This was to guard against what was happening right now.

After all, Xie Jing and Cui Hua had kept causing trouble for her previously, so she wanted to be careful. She did not expect these photos to really come in handy.

“Since everyone has seen what’s going on, I’ll announce the results of this competition now! ”

Just as the dean held Qiao Mei e s plant growth notebook and was about to announce the results, Wang Wei quickly came forward and said, “Wait! I don’t agree!”

“You don’t agree? I remember that you’re one of the students graduating this year. The evidence is here. What else are you disagreeing with?” the dean questioned.

Wang Wei was so frightened that he did not know what to say. He stammered for a long time and did not manage to say what he wanted to say. Wang Wei had always been an honest and obedient person. He did not even dare to speak loudly usually and was always bullied. However, after being bullied for so long, he had an urge to act on his impulses. Cui Hua had taken advantage of Wang Wei’s thoughts and used him to destroy Qiao Mei’s experiment.

“Professor, what Senior Wang Wei is saying is that the rules of the competition have nothing to do with the plant growth notebook submitted by Qiao Mei. This time round, we’re competing to see who can grow fruits which are more delicious, not the speed of growth. This notebook can only prove that Qiao Mei’s plants grew quickly and the color of the fruits looks good, but it can’t prove that the fruits taste good,” Xie Jing said.

“Nonsense! How can such beautiful fruits taste worse than those from your small seedlings?” Wu Duo said angrily.

“Schoolmate, you’re from the engineering faculty and don’t know much about our agriculture faculty. Although Senior and 1 have strawberry seedlings which grow more slowly, the fruits taste sweet and will definitely sell well in the future. Qiao Mei’s strawberries grow fast and big, but they don’t taste good, so no one will buy them. Professors, don’t you think I’m right?” Xie Jing said with a sinister smile.

All the fruits from Qiao Mei’s plants had long been ruined. Given how trampled they were, there was definitely not a single fruit left. He already checked last night and he could not have made any mistake. Qiao Mei no longer had any way to prove how delicious her fruits were. She was definitely going to lose this time!

The principal and the teachers also felt that what Xie Jing said made sense.

Qiao Mei immediately said, “Wait! Who says that there’s not one single fruit left?”

Qiao Mei walked to the edge of her strawberry shed and reached out to rummage through the soil. She found five strawberries buried deep in the ground. These strawberries were of different sizes, but the colors were a little pale and they looked very sour..
