"If we want to do research, the school will allocate funds. We will never let you lose money. No matter what we use or eat here, you just need to pay according to the normal price. Don't let others misunderstand. If the research finds something, I will report your contribution to the higher-ups, and you won't lose your share."
Old man Shen immediately said, "Professor Li, look at what you said. The people in our village are all very nice, and basically have no bad intentions. As long as you come here to do research and it is beneficial to them, they will welcome you. How could they misunderstand you? Also, how can we ask for credit? This is what we should do. Just do your research here, and if you need anything, just tell us. I guarantee that no one in our village will say no."
Old Man Shen has always admired intellectuals, and this guy is an old professor, so he felt even more respect for him and wanted to have a good relationship with him.
The atmosphere was harmonious as they were very friendly with each other, and they decided on the research in just a few words.
Professor Li had forgotten what he was doing here. He spent a long while inspecting the watermelon and sugarcane fields and was reluctant to come out, constantly marveling at the sight.
Old Man Shen did not rush him. Seeing that it was almost noon, he suggested, "Professor Li, the family has prepared food for us. Why don't we go back and eat first before coming to see it? Also, aren't you here to see the Ganoderma Lucidum? It's at home!"
Professor Li then remembered his business and quickly brushed the dirt off his trouser legs and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Look how foolish I am. I forgot about the Ganoderma lucidum when I saw the watermelon and sugarcane. Well, I will go home with you. I am sorry to bother you."
Shen Jiangang was reluctant. This old man seemed very authoritative and powerful. If he identified it as Ganoderma lucidum on the spot, wouldn't his idea of taking possession of that thing be ruined?
But he had no choice but to go back with Old Man Shen.
When they got home, Mrs. Shen had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them. When she saw them walk into the yard, she greeted them warmly, "Hey, this is Professor Li, right?"
"Yes, I came from Beijing." Old Man Shen introduced happily and said to Professor Li, "Professor Li, let's go eat first and then look at the Ganoderma lucidum later."
When Professor Li entered the door, he saw a large thing soaking in a wooden basin in the corner of the yard. With just one glance, he could almost conclude that it was Ganoderma lucidum!
It’s not like I haven’t seen this thing before, but...oh my god, this is too big!
He wanted to study it right away, but Old Man Shen asked him to eat first, so he had to suppress his impulse and eat. As soon as he finished eating, he came to the yard and stared at the things in the basin carefully.
Old man Shen came over and asked cautiously, "Professor Li, do you think this is Ganoderma lucidum?"
"It looks exactly like them." Professor Li raised his glasses, very curious, "Where did you get this thing?"
Old man Shen glanced at the yellow-white "mushroom" and said casually, "This was dug up by my grandson in the fish pond. It was growing in the water at the time. We didn't know what it was, but we thought it was strange so we brought it back and kept it here. Professor Li, take a closer look and see if it is Ganoderma lucidum?"
