Qian Duoduo followed Professor Yuan back to his office, where he took a test report from his desk drawer and handed it to her, saying, "Your rice test report is out, and the results surprised me a bit."
Qian Duoduo reached out and took the test report. She read it and saw that the "Rice Test Report" tested not only the soil pH value, nutrient content, and moisture status, but also the rice's growth environment, growth cycle, and pests and diseases. These were all based on her own observation records. The rice's growth stages and the judgment of whether it was growing normally all had Professor Yuan's signature.
The report also includes observations of rice growth, grain shape and color, assessment of its appearance quality, and the content of nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, and vitamins in the rice.
Because there had been previous incidents of rice being sprayed with high concentrations of pesticides, this time the focus was on testing the pesticide residue levels in the rice to ensure that pesticide residues did not exceed the standards.
Qian Duoduo immediately took a serious look. Even though the last time the incident involving Shrek was discovered in time and she had taken measures and used diluted farm river water for irrigation, she was still a little uneasy. It wasn't that she was afraid of pesticide residue exceeding the standard, but rather that the nutrients in the diluted river water would be detected.
Fortunately, some pesticide residues were indeed detected, and the rice samples tested contained trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, which were within the standards. Next, the land was tested. Sampling was conducted in stratified layers based on the actual conditions of the paddy fields, taking into account factors such as soil and water source, to improve the specificity of the samples. The collected water and soil samples underwent pretreatment, including filtration and concentration, to facilitate subsequent testing and analysis. The pretreated samples were then analyzed to obtain the test results for various indicators.
Finally, the rice is tested after hulling, including nutritional analysis of its protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Tasting is also conducted to assess the rice's nutritional value and taste.
Microbiological testing is used to detect the levels of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in rice to assess food safety risks.
Sampling should be carried out in accordance with the prescribed sampling methods and requirements to ensure the representativeness and accuracy of the samples.
When Qian Duoduo saw the final test results, everything met the national food safety requirements. She breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Professor Yuan, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Professor, for your hard work!"
Professor Yuan smiled and said, "It's also because you grow rice so well. I had heard Old Zhao say that you grow vegetables well before, but I didn't expect that you grow rice so well too. Moreover, the protein content of your rice exceeds that of other rice varieties grown at the same time."
Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure if it's rice this time, since there have been accidents before. So I'd like to ask the professor if I can plant another crop of rice next year to compare."
Professor Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor! With this matter settled, we won't have to worry about next year!"
Professor Yuan said, "However, you should try a different plot of land next year. This one is a bit small. Try a bigger one instead."
Qian Duoduo was taken aback: "No, Professor, just one piece is fine."
Professor Yuan was taken aback. Some students wished their land were bigger, how come they had no ambition at all?
"Why?"
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "I can manage such a large plot of land by myself. But if the land is too big, things like transplanting rice seedlings and weeding will be too tiring."
Professor Yuan hadn't expected such a reason and couldn't help but chuckle: "How about this, if you can cultivate this land well this year, I'll give you one of my graduate school spots, how about it? You'll be a junior next year, Qian, think about it!"
Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up: "Professor Yuan, really?"
Professor Yuan smiled at Qian Duoduo, his face radiating confidence. Qian Duoduo looked down at the test report in her hand, remaining silent. Professor Yuan's heart sank. Was it really that difficult? His graduate student spot wasn't given away lightly; if it weren't for Qian Duoduo being a promising candidate, he wouldn't have used it as a condition.
He asked, "What? Is my graduate school spot so worthless?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "No, many people are vying for the professor's graduate student spots."
Professor Yuan asked, "So what do you mean?"
Qian Duoduo said, "I'm thinking, after I finish my master's degree, should I go straight to a doctoral program?"
Professor Yuan stared at Qian Duoduo in astonishment. Was this little girl taking advantage of the situation?
Qian Duoduo smiled and said to Professor Yuan, "Professor, please take your time to think about it. I'll head back now."
Professor Yuan watched Qian Duoduo turn and leave, gritted his teeth. This girl really needs to be taught a lesson, but it doesn't seem so bad if she really wants to study for a doctorate with him. Her learning ability is definitely not a problem. If she really becomes an agronomist, hehe, wouldn't he also have something to show for himself?
Just imagining Qian Duoduo standing on the stage, saying, "Thank you to my mentor, Teacher Yuan Linong!" makes me feel a little smug and want to show off.
Qian Duoduo walked out of the teachers' building and hadn't gone far when she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw Jiang Sisi. She turned to leave, really not wanting to talk to her, at least not until she figured out a solution.
When Jiang Sisi saw Qian Duoduo turn to leave, she immediately ran up to her and said, "Duoduo, I have something I want to tell you."
Qian Duoduo: "I have nothing to say to you, and I don't want to be your listener."
Jiang Sisi said, "This is related to your third brother."
