Chapter 22 - 22 22 Always Full of Surprises
Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Always Full of Surprises Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Always Full of Surprises Luo Ning didn’t refuse, stood up, and followed him to a part of the yard that was dedicated to growing flowers, where many valuable flower varieties were planted.
This showed that the owner of the farmhouse was no ordinary person.
The owner pointed to a variety of camellias and asked, “Can you distinguish the varieties of these camellias?”
Luo Ning smiled and replied, “I can, this is the ‘Eighteen Scholars’, this is ‘Crimson’, this is ‘Crown’, this is…”
There were more than thirty varieties of camellia here, and Luo Ning recognized them all just by looking at the flowers, leaving Lu Xun unconsciously standing beside, with surprise and amazement in his eyes.
He found that Luo Ning was always full of surprises.
The owner smiled and had her identify other flowers as well, asking her many questions, which Luo Ning answered correctly.
Then the two of them engaged in a conversation about this issue, discussing rather professional topics.
The owner had a particularly cherished orchid that was sick, and Luo Ning suggested a radical treatment method, which greatly surprised the owner.
Then he pulled her over to treat the sick orchid together, watching her skillfully and professionally remove the orchid’s rotten roots, and the owner kept praising her.
“Xiao Luo, my flower-growing skills are already industry-leading, but I didn’t expect you to be even better.”
“Nowadays, there are hardly any young people who understand flowers like you do, I am truly impressed, old man.”
“Xiao Luo, evaluate this white-haired chrysanthemum of mine.” He completely treated Luo Ning as a close friend in flower cultivation.
Influenced by her mother, Luo Ning had always loved flowers. The elder was very knowledgeable, so she didn’t refuse and started evaluating the flowers with him.
She also didn’t leave Lu Xun out, often explaining things to him or pulling him into the conversation.
The viewers in the barrage were all dumbfounded, completely not expecting Luo Ning to know so much.
[I’m completely confused by their conversation, then I just went to look up Baidu and found out everything Luo Ning said was correct.]
[Luo Ning just said she knew a bit, now I realize that’s not bluffing, but humility.]
[Yes, Luo Ning’s knowledge about flowers is definitely at a professional level.]
Haters still wouldn’t give up, [She probably knew the theme of this reality show in advance, so she studied beforehand, we don’t believe she really knows that much.]
[Exactly, how could a vase-like celebrity know so much? What a joke.]
Even casual fans couldn’t stand it anymore.
[I’ve always grown orchids, the way Luo Ning treated the sick orchid was textbook level, if she didn’t have a deep understanding of orchids, all the studying in the world wouldn’t have helped her.]
[There are hundreds of varieties of flowers here, Luo Ning identified each one as she saw them, if this was all prepared beforehand, then I’m really impressed.]
[Moreover, Luo Ning and the flower owner discussed some details that aren’t in books, which shows she truly has professional knowledge in flower cultivation.]
[She’s like an encyclopedia of flowers!]
[Exactly, some of you haters try doing some research and show us, keep your stupidity to yourselves, don’t flaunt how low your IQ is.]
Many bystanders became fans of Luo Ning because of her performance today.
[Oh my, what kind of fairy is Luo Ning, not only is she beautiful, but she knows so much, absolutely fanned.]
[Luo Ning is also great at livening up the scene; even though she was discussing with the flower owner, she always involved Lu, making sure he could join the conversation, I’m going to be a fan too.]
[Ningbao is both beautiful and warm-hearted, love it!]
[From now on, she is my Ningbao too.]
In the afternoon, when Luo Ning and Lu Xun were leaving, they were given not only fresh meat and fruits but also a bottle of wild honey by the owner’s family.
“It seems our dinner will be the most bountiful,” Lu Xun said to Luo Ning with a smile.
Having spent a day together, Lu Xun became familiar with Luo Ning, unlike how he treated others with polite elegance but kept quite a distance and a sense of aloofness.
Luo Ning tilted her head and asked with a smile, “Mr. Lu, what dishes do you like?”
Lu Xun chuckled and asked back, “You mean I can order?”
“Sure, you can pick from these ingredients. I can make anything I know how to cook.” Luo Ning had a good impression of Lu Xun; he seemed to be a man of substance and very considerate.
She didn’t know that Lu Xun wasn’t like this with other people, especially women, always maintaining an elusive distance.
Lu Xun didn’t hold back and ordered a few dishes that Luo Ning could cook, and the two chatted happily as they returned to the farmhouse.
By that time, the others had already arrived back and were resting in the courtyard.
Lu Xun and Luo Ning had gathered the most and richest ingredients, followed by Bo Xiangxiang and Ji Xinghang.
Their task had been to help catch fish.
It must be said that Bo Xiangxiang rightfully earned the title Daughter of Destiny; her luck was extraordinarily good. The fish foolishly swam straight into their nets, resulting in a huge haul of ingredients.
But without comparisons, there would be no harm; originally still modest on her lips but smug at heart, Bo Xiangxiang’s face stiffened when she saw the ingredients brought by Luo Ning and Lu Xun.
Tong Jia and the others were also shocked, “What task did you do? You got more ingredients than us and Teacher Wei’s team combined.”
Lu Xun replied, “We helped pack flowers, and Luo Ning even treated a valuable orchid for the flower owner, so the reward was quite generous.”
“Wow, Little Ningning, you can even treat flowers? You are really amazing,” Tong Jia exclaimed with wide eyes.
The others hadn’t expected Luo Ning to have such a skill, “You know how to take care of flowers too?”
“She’s not just good at it; she can identify hundreds of varieties in the garden. She’s very professional in this regard; I was amazed at the time.”
Lu Xun continued to praise, “So she is not just good at gardening, she’s exceptionally skilled.”
Luo Ning laughed lightly, “Mr. Lu, you’re praising me so much I’m getting embarrassed.”
Naturally, the others followed Lu Xun’s lead and showered Luo Ning with compliments, while Bo Xiangxiang felt so frustrated inside, but she reluctantly echoed a few words.
Originally, she had wanted to show off their achievements to Lu Xun, but now Luo Ning had stolen the spotlight. Was this woman here to haunt her?
Ji Xinghang didn’t speak, just watched Luo Ning intently.
Seeing her walk in laughing and talking with Lu Xun, constantly praised by another man, he felt very uncomfortable.
After a busy afternoon, everyone was hungry, so they sadly started to cook.
They asked Luo Ning and Lu Xun first, then took turns cooking steadily.
They were truly afraid that if Luo Ning cooked first, they wouldn’t be able to eat their own cooking.
Lu Xun and Luo Ning didn’t object, and after everyone had prepared the food, Lu Xun helped wash the vegetables, and Luo Ning started to cook.
Sure enough, fragrant scents wafted from the kitchen, leaving Tong Jia and the others miserably clutching their stomachs.
“Just ate, and smelling this aroma, I feel hungry again.”
“Me too, the food we just made tasted so bad we didn’t eat much.”
“Wuu, I want to mooch some food.” Tong Jia asked the director, “You only said we can’t help make the food, not that we can’t mooch, right?”
The director didn’t want to make their first day too miserable, “As long as Mr. Lu and the others don’t oppose, we have no objections.”
That got everyone excited, and Tong Jia rushed into the kitchen asking, “Little Ningning, we want to mooch some food, can we?”
Luo Ning didn’t answer immediately, instead looking at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun showed her respect, “It’s hard work cooking; it’s up to you to decide.”
After Luo Ning gave him a smile, she said to Tong Jia, “No problem, we have plenty of ingredients left. We’ll share some with you soon.”
“Wow, Little Ningning, you’re the best. You’re like a little fairy,” Tong Jia freely threw out the compliments.
The viewers in the live stream also enjoyed the show very much.
