Chapter 198 Zhang's father learns skills, strange plants
On the way back to the dormitory, she was talking on the long-distance phone with Leng Ziyue. Most of the time, Zhang Wanwan was the one talking and Leng Ziyue was the one listening, agreeing with her from time to time. This made Zhang Wanwan feel very satisfied!
On the way, Zhang Wanwan unexpectedly ran into Cao Ji'an who was going to the cafeteria with a group of roommates. Obviously, he also saw her.
Seeing that Cao Ji'an wanted to say hello, Zhang Wanwan coldly withdrew her gaze, as if it was just a casual glance, and her voice when speaking to Leng Ziyue couldn't help but become a little louder.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Cao Ji'an's face, and he was whispering with his roommates about some obscene jokes. Their eyes actually became a little obscene.
Zhang Wanwan frowned slightly and quickened her pace.
Leng Ziyue on the other end of the phone seemed to notice her strangeness and asked perceptively, "Did you run into someone who made you unhappy?"
"How did you know?" Zhang Wanwan blurted out, then she remembered that she couldn't affect Leng Ziyue's mood, so she smiled and said casually: "Nothing, I just met that boy from the same department as Tian Sen. I hate him very much. He just wanted to say hello to me, so I was a little unhappy."
"Did he offend you?"
Zhang Wanwan paused, then said thoughtfully, "It's not an offense. I just don't like him. I really don't like him. Okay, let's not talk about those irrelevant people. By the way, let me tell you something."
When Zhang Wanwan pushed open the dormitory door, Kong Rou and the others clearly noticed her joy.
Perhaps because of the news about Leng Ziyue, Zhang Wanwan felt full of energy in everything she did afterwards. Zhang's father also sent her a message saying that the restaurant's master chef agreed to teach him his skills, but there was a condition, which was that Zhang's father could not open a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall restaurant in Pu City unless their restaurant was closed.
Zhang's father had not originally planned to open a restaurant, so he agreed immediately.
It doesn't take much time to learn how to cook a dish, but it is more troublesome to learn how to identify the quality of ingredients. Fortunately, Zhang's father grew up in Qingpu and is relatively familiar with seafood. In addition, he knows some cooking skills, so he learns a lot faster. It only took him more than a month to master the dish of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
At this time, Zhang Wanwan's house was almost completed.
When May was approaching, she received a call from Zhang's mother. "Girl, your uncle said that the rough house has been built, and the facade has been tiled according to your requirements. The water and electricity have also been connected. Now he said that he can't find the floor tiles you requested in the design in the county. There are only similar ones, but the materials are different. He dare not make a decision on his own, so he asked me to ask your opinion."
Zhang Wanwan was delighted and said quickly, "Mom, tell uncle that if we can't find the right floor tiles, just wait. I'll ask Engineer Ye. We agreed on these raw materials with him in the beginning, so he should know where to buy them."
Mother Zhang then remembered that there was such a person, and immediately clapped her thigh and said, "I'll listen to you. Then you should contact Engineer Ye as soon as possible. Your uncle will probably start laying floor tiles in two days."
"Why are they in such a hurry? I didn't urge them to complete the project!" Zhang Wanwan was a little puzzled.
Zhang's mother said with a smile, "You built a house in our countryside, and now many people are jealous. They went to ask your uncle how much a house like this would cost. Your uncle has taken on your project and now has some ideas, so he told those people about it. Someone immediately made an appointment with him and asked him to finish your project so he could do theirs. Your uncle wants to make more money and make your house beautiful, so he has to hurry!"
Zhang Wanwan was happy for Li Yongshou but also a little worried. "Mom, do you think that by then all the houses in the village will be the same as mine?"
"That's impossible!" Zhang's mother said firmly, "Let's not talk about how big your house is. There are so many details about the facade. Even the materials are ordered from a specific supplier. You can't buy them in Qingpu! The people in the village are willing to spend so much money on the facade. At most, they can build a house with a similar structure to yours. The rest will definitely be different from yours. Don't worry at all. Your house is definitely the first in the village!"
After saying this, Zhang's mother still felt painful. The naughty child was young and didn't know how hard it was to make money. The facade he built was enough for others to build a house. However, Zhang's mother did not express her thoughts. The family was not short of money now, and she didn't want to argue with Zhang Wanwan because of the difference in ideas. She just followed the child's wishes.
Sure enough, Zhang Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what her mother said, and said easily, "Mom, I'll go back on May Day and visit the village then. Just tell my uncle what I just said."
After finishing the call with Zhang's mother, Zhang Wanwan immediately went to the teaching and research office to find Zhang Chunyan.
Zhang Chunyan left temporarily, and Zhang Wanwan waited obediently beside his desk. Maybe because Zhang Chunyan had greeted her, when Zhang Wanwan came over, the teachers in the teaching and research department were very polite to her, just like they were treating her as a junior colleague, and some even brought her snacks.
Just when Zhang Wanwan was absorbed in reading a foreign report, Zhang Chunyan came back from get out of class. When he saw her, he was immediately happy and asked, "What problem did you encounter today?"
Zhang Wanwan closed the magazine and said seriously, "Professor, do you remember that I told you that I joined a club?"
Zhang Chunyan nodded, "I remember, it's the Seed Research Society. I know this society. After all, the school has only one society related to agronomy. The seeds they use are provided by the research institute. What's wrong?"
Zhang Wanwan hesitated and said, "It's like this. Last semester, the seniors brought several bags of seeds and asked us to sort them. I helped and asked for a seed. I also wanted to try planting it myself. Because the climate was not right at that time, I didn't rush to do it. I waited until the spring snow melted before sowing the seeds. The seniors advised me at the time, saying that the survival rate of seeds was not 100%, and I asked for a seed anyway, so it might not germinate, so I didn't want to bother, but I planted it anyway."
"Then what?" At this point, Zhang Chunyan became more serious.
After washing his hands, he immediately sat in his seat.
Zhang Wanwan frowned as she thought of the things she had planted. "I first asked seniors in seed science and several teachers to learn the names and characteristics of the seeds, and then planted them in the corresponding places according to their habits. But one of them was said to be lotus seeds. I planted it, but it seemed that it grew not only lotus leaves but also some things similar to water plants. I don't recognize them either. Moreover, they seem to be connected together. I can't figure it out. I'm afraid that if I tear them apart, the lotus that I have worked so hard to grow will be destroyed. Professor, can you help me take a look?"
