Chapter 336 Biting Cabbage
"Yawn..."
Andrew climbed out of bed, heard Bell grinding his teeth, and finally realized again that the new semester had officially begun.
'My head hurts a little, and I chatted a little late last night...'
He came back too late, so the night chat in the dormitory naturally continued until very late - what happened during the holiday There were just too many, and by the time everyone realized they were chatting too late, it was already getting close.
'This kid Hal,' he muttered as he got dressed. He didn't know until he came back last night to chat at night that Hal didn't hide out to open the door or anything, but to spy on the prefect on a date and being raped by the thin-skinned superior. The director found out - he was chased all the way to the point where he didn't dare to stay in the lounge. It wasn't until he saw Andrew that he returned to the dormitory in a pretentious manner.
‘You actually want to take the opportunity to blackmail me. You really have the potential of a journalist, and you can run fast and be thick-skinned. ’
He made his final comment, left the dormitory in a low voice, and then began to trot along the familiar route.
'It is customary to go to the greenhouse to make models first, and then run all the way to Hagrid's side...'
It was always like this last year, and this year is no exception - hardworking seniors The students have already started working in the greenhouse, and Professor Adams is directing them to carefully prepare potion-like things.
"Ah, classmate Andrew, you are here!"
When he saw Andrew, Professor Adams made a happy voice, "I started thinking about it during the summer vacation, but I couldn't figure it out by myself. So many control groups?”
“Control groups?”
"That's right," Adams said with a happy face, "Didn't we generally figure out the research on lighting supplementation last year? Then we have almost done the hydroponics of some common herbs. This school year I will prepare "Something big?"
"Something big?"
"For example, a tree or something."
"A tree?"
Andrew looked at Professor Adams doubtfully.
“Yes, the precious tree species Whomping Willow. I have been paying attention to it for a long time, but because it is too precious, the professor did not let me mess with it. It was not until last school year that I verified some possibilities. Only then did I get permission.”
It can be seen that Professor Adams is a little excited - from flowers and plants to precious whomping willows, this is indeed a remarkable progress.
But why is the whomping willow, Professor Adams, why don’t you cultivate biting cabbage on a large scale!
“The bark of the Whomping Willow is a good thing. It is a very useful stabilizer and can be used in the production of most potions. Therefore, it is cut down on a large scale until the number is so rare that Being protected, if the hydroponic wicker can be successful this time, it will be no small matter..."
Professor Adams said to Andrew quite excitedly, "It has limited uses like biting cabbage. The herbs are completely different. Of course, there is a huge demand for biting cabbage. After all, the bone spirit needs it, but it is too easy to cultivate biting cabbage."
"There are also biting cabbage growing in the greenhouse. ?”
“Yes, but I prefer their full name - after all, that is where the best quality cabbage is produced, but ours is not bad, it tastes refreshing and is used for salads. It couldn’t be better, just needs a little more malt vinegar to soften it.”
ah?
Really!
"Yes, I will mix a salad for you later," Professor Adams said as he went to the cubicle next to him. When Andrew completed his transformation, Professor Adams came out with a large salad. .
‘Eat in the greenhouse? '
Andrew was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse - although the timing was not good, the taste was really good, and it tasted unusually crisp, which even made him contemplate using the leaves to make rice dumplings. plan. "Can I see them?"
Andrew ate so happily that he even had the urge to look at the victim - he didn't know what the wild ones tasted like and whether they would have a special texture.
"Normally only fourth graders are allowed to come into contact with such dangerous plants, but you must be fine."
Professor Adams nodded, "Be prepared, I will take you inside Greenhouse."
" No problem.”
Andrew agreed, found two bundles of unknown braided straw ropes from the corner of the greenhouse, turned them into boots on his feet, and then borrowed a pair of gloves before following closely. I picked up Professor Adams and made a detour all the way to the cabbage compartment.
‘Do students at Hogwarts break bones every day in this area? ’
This was Andrew’s first reaction after seeing the large piece of biting cabbage.
"It's growing very well, but you just can't get too close." Professor Adams picked up a huge bamboo pole from one side. "Look, it looks like this - but don't anger them too much, they will He pulls himself out to bite others!"
This is not false at all - even a little modest.
When the bamboo pole came close, the biting cabbage on the edge pulled itself out of the soil, opened its huge mouth, bit towards the bamboo pole in one bite, and then bit off a piece.
After chewing and finding that it was inedible, this cabbage that could be made into a delicious salad stuffed itself back into the soil - it had no hands, but its well-developed root system was like two extremely thick thighs, directly It was firmly inserted into the soil.
‘What did I just eat? ’
Andrew was a little confused.
"How do you harvest this guy, Professor?"
"Use medicine. Mixing the yellow bark tree seed powder with water and watering it once will make them sleep. However, some wizards directly choose to use the coma spell. The effect is also very good.”
Professor Adams nodded, "Actually, some adventurers choose to use it to keep vigil or explore roads. This requires very high levels of knowledge in herbal medicine. After all, it is not easy to grow aggressive cabbage quickly."
'Then it has nothing to do with me... After all, I really can't put that much effort into herbal medicine. '
"But I am also currently researching new fast-growing techniques," Professor Adams said happily. "If we can thoroughly understand the hydroponics method, we may be able to produce hydroponics fast-growing seeds in the future, but then It’s very late, and you probably need a traceless expansion spell bag to carry it with you—at least that’s what it looks like for now.”
Last semester, he thought he had taken away at least half of the results that the students had contributed to. , so at this moment I spoke out my thoughts without any reservation.
But it’s a pity that Professor Adams’s hard work was a bit over the top - because of the lack of foundation in herbal medicine, Andrew could only understand it, and he didn’t even think about understanding it thoroughly.
"Anyway, let's see, I'm going to come up with something big in the next time. The professor is also like this, classmate Andrew!"
Professor Adams is full of motivation, "You have to work hard too!"
