I Love FarmingCh11 - Your school should be an agricultural university

Editor: malaysian_asian

When the other canteens started lining up potted plants and tilling the ground to grow peppers, the students had a vague understanding of what was happening. nTlvM1

Sure enough, when meal time came by, the first canteen’s improved dishes also appeared in the other canteens’ menus!

CU’s teachers and students were all too happy to run to any canteen for food. The campus was so big that each canteen was distributed a fair distance away from one another for convenience, so anyone from the university could eat wherever they wanted. Before, some people had to cross the entire campus in order to get to the first canteen, and they were very upset by that.

They were dreading the idea of the first canteen retiring from being one of the five tigers of the university, and that CU’s top dark cuisine would be saved for the rest of the four. They had no idea that the other canteens would follow the first’s lead and reform themselves.

Sure enough, there wouldn’t be any positive progress without competition. RjE6Jp

With so much enthusiastic promotion, many teachers and students who once refused to eat at the university were now influenced to purchase meals, and the sales of all five canteens increased.

Later, news emerged that the source of this new progress was the new owner of the first canteen, said to be handsome and kind-hearted, who took the initiative to share his recipes with the rest of the canteens and told them to treat the students better.

In fact, since the first canteen grew the vegetables themselves and was owned by the university’s savior, they would be the first to serve any new dishes. Even though this was all due to Cui QiChao’s urge to grow vegetables and without any care to the customer traffic the canteen would receive, the first canteen had still become the one with the most people lining up for their food.

Life had become so beautiful that the students at CU suddenly felt like it was a dream.

Especially the freshmen, they had come into the school at the best time. They didn’t even have to eat dark cuisine for more than a few days before all the canteens were pushed into reforming.

Taking advantage of his good reputation among students, Cui QiChao also formally proposed to President Cui that he also wanted to plant water spinach in the pond.

Even after President Cui heard his nephew’s request to claim the hill, he was still stunned when he was presented with this. His beloved nephew had gone so crazy that he didn’t even want to leave the pond untouched. The pond was supposed to be part of the university’s beautification project, and he told Cui QIChao this.

Cui QiChao refuted him smoothly. “Water spinach can also be used to add green to the university, and wouldn’t it be considered beautification as well? What’s more, water spinach can purify water and prevent algae from spreading—it’s an excellent biomaterial.” PZqIVt

President Cui listened and felt like it seemed to be fine. Ah, forget it, anything his nephew wanted he would provide. He could do this much at CU for Cui QiChao.

The moment Cui QiChao had gotten his permission, he immediately started studying the water quality of the pond. He even cut down the bamboo planted by the school and made the bed cultivation by himself. It managed to fit the entire size of the pond, and he laid a plastic cloth under it to prevent leakage.

Among the breeds of the hydroponic water spinach, Cui QiChao chose the large leaf species, ipomoea aquatica, and mixed the nutrient solution by himself.

Water spinach grows very fast, as long as the fertilizer was applied properly and the weather warm, the first batch could be harvested in 10-20 days. Afterwards, it could be harvested every 10 days with a half month break. It was no problem to harvest it for half a year in this manner. bPuGAn

After planting all his vegetables, Cui QiChao enriched all the ponds around the university. Doing such activities was a huge pleasure to him, as he was unable to do so in reality.

Students who were streaming live came out of the boys’ dormitory building and went to a nearby canteen. Along the way, they passed by a pond and looked at the water spinach floating inside. The camera gently swept over the hill to show the green vegetables shining on the hill and switched to the lush peppers outside the canteen, red and beautiful. HFULdz

The audience in the live broadcast said:

[There are so many vegetables planted in your school. It’s like an agricultural university!]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

[? Are you sure this is a university and not the countryside?]

[Didn’t they say this is a university in Nanhai? How can it be? Is this Nanhai Agricultural University?] LR3NgC

[I just came in. I’m a little shocked. It turns out that the broadcaster is from an agricultural university.]

[Wow, it’s an agricultural university. There are so many vegetables in the school.]

[I have a friend who is also from an agricultural university. I heard that he can eat the grains and vegetables grown from his school’s experimental fields.]

[No… but didn’t the broadcaster say he was from CU?] yXU3tk

[It’s impossible. There is no agronomy major in CU.]

The CU student who was live broadcasting: “…”

“I’m a CU student. Yes, there is no agronomy major in our school! These are all planted by our university canteens!”

[Fuck, I don’t believe it. Is your university canteen so awesome? Growing vegetables everywhere.] f7ATMF

[I’m in a trance, I really thought this was an agricultural university…]

[A true agricultural university student here. I came out to say that it’s true that we have experimental fields, but we’re not so crazy that the green potted plants are all peppers.]

Later, this recording screen was widely spread in Nanhai University City, which aroused deep sympathy.

Before CU students knew it, the first canteen’s planting range became wider and wider—they didn’t even spare the ponds. 4RmX6B

People from other schools in the University City said that they almost couldn’t recognize the school when they accidentally went into CU’s roads, especially people from Nanhai Agricultural University. They wanted to express their doubts on whether they were the true agricultural university or was CU the agricultural university?

CU, a comprehensive university, seemed like it was catching up with an agricultural university.

Cui QiChao went home every day to train XiaoBai for 15 minutes. Presently, XiaoBai mastered sitting, lying down, rolling, standing, holding things, circling around, and a bit more. In addition to this and XiaoBai’s successful obedience training, he started teaching XiaoBai to follow him. z5d8bY

The first phase was practicing at home and getting familiar with the command before heading outside.

After Cui QiChao’s continuous efforts, XiaoBai stopped losing concentration after walking a distance of around 100 meters, so after today’s lesson, Cui QiChao tied a rope around XiaoBai and used this opportunity to see the growth of vegetables around the school as well as getting in some outdoor exercise.

Cui QiChao led XiaoBai out into a quiet corridor. His cat performed very well, cleverly clinging to his calf and waiting for Cui QiChao’s instructions instead of wandering about.

When the apartment door opposite of him opened and a neighbor aunt came out, she saw Cui QiChao holding an animal. At first, she thought it was a dog, but after a closer look, she found it was a cat. Cui QiChao walked with it to the elevator door, and it sat down after he lifted the rope in a motion. M5OKBH

The aunt praised him. “XiaoCui, I didn’t know you had a cat. It’s never meowed, even during the day, and it’s so obedient when you bring it out.”

Free roaming cats were not the same as domestic cats, although they had more courage, it was rare for them to be so clever, regardless of whether they were free roaming or domestic. The auntie had never seen a cat so smart before.

It was said that making a cat familiar with commands was hard, but it seemed Xiao Cui’s cat was different.

“Yes, it’s quite obedient. That’s why I’m taking it out for a walk.” Cui QiChao replied. NahbnR

It was a bit strange to walk a cat. The neighbour aunt looked at it carefully. The cat’s fur was a little long and she thought that maybe it had the bloodline of the Norwegian Forest cat, which was known to enjoy playing outside.

After saying goodbye to her, Cui QiChao led XiaoBai to CU. It took less than 10 minutes by walking there from his apartment.

Along the way, the sight of XiaoBai being walked made many people take a second look. Walking a dog was common, but a cat being walked was something they had only seen on the internet.

Not to mention how obedient the cat was. If the owner walked, it would follow. If the owner stopped, it would pause. The cat never left its owner for even half a meter, it paid attention to its owner at all times—even if there were fish bones on the ground. The duo was unlike any other cat following its human, this one clung to its owner’s calves and acted like a police dog. The people around them wondered how he trained his cat. rAMd93

Cui QiChao simply thought that shepherd cats were not as well known as they would be later on, since so many people kept looking at him. He chose to not care about the attention he attracted.

Cui QiChao took the cat to the first canteen to meet his staff.

CU’s canteens would be open until 10pm and they provided dinner, so there were still a lot of people at this time. The handyman who gave the cat to Cui QiChao was surprised to see the cat’s behavior. Unexpectedly, Boss Cui was even good at training cats.

“I’ll bring it to the canteen next month.” Cui QiChao stroked XiaoBai’s head. TI1kHV

“Boss Cui, you won’t need this cat to catch mice. If you put it outside and let people who buy snacks shake its paw, sales would shoot up like crazy.” A staff member joked.

“There’s no need for that.” Cui QiChao dismissed the idea. There were already so many cats who could do that around the streets.

“Alright, I’m heading over to the ponds to see the water spinach.” Cui QiChao gave XiaoBai a command. “XiaoBai, let’s go.”

XiaoBai picked up his rope and brought it back to Cui QiChao, standing by his side and waiting for Cui QiChao to re-leash him. p0OVcK

Cui QiChao started leading XiaoBai away, so he didn’t see the hesitant and puzzled looks his staff aimed at his back. While they didn’t know much about cats, wasn’t Boss Cui’s cat acting more like a dog…

Cui QiChao took XiaoBai to inspect the water spinach he had cultivated. Because it was getting late and XiaoBai had been walking with him for quite a long time, he picked XiaoBai up.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

When he finished looking after the vegetables, he passed by the animal hospital on his way home. Cui QiChao thought it was about time for XiaoBai to get debugged this month. He walked inside and asked the vet to give XiaoBai the medicine.

“The cat can’t take a bath after getting the medicine. Has it been washed yet? Would you like us to bathe it?” The vet took the time to advertised the services they provided. qZ2wKI

“Sure.” Cui QiChao didn’t hesitate and agreed. It had been a while since he bathed XiaoBai anyways.

“XiaoBai, stay.” Cui QiChao gave XiaoBai a command to stay still on the bathing table. XiaoBai obediently didn’t move, while Cui QiChao went out to wait for them to finish.

After seeing this scene, the veterinarian followed him and said in surprise, “Your cat is so obedient. Does it actually understand how to stay still?”

“It took a longer time to train it to accomplish this command.” Cui QiChao saw that the hospital had kept a big hairy cat that was lying on the chair. Judging from its size, it might also have the lineage of a shepherd cat. He touched it and said, “Shake hand.” Svlt a

The cat didn’t respond and swept its tail indifferently.

The doctor said with a sheepish smile: “I used to want to teach him to shake hands, but I couldn’t manage to do it. I tried to train him using food for a long time but it still didn’t work. Your cat is too smart, especially since it is still only a kitten. Many kittens are clingy, but your cat is very smart. I thought only older cats could understand people’s words more.”

Cui QiChao was acutely aware that something wasn’t right and asked tentatively, “Then…can your cat herd sheep?”

Doctor: “Huh, how would cats herd sheep?” nVN2Mu
