Chapter 336 Biting Cabbage
"yawn…"

Andrew got out of bed, heard Bell grinding his teeth, and finally realized that the new semester had officially begun.

'My head hurts a bit. We chatted a little late last night...'

He came back too late, so the night talk in the dormitory naturally lasted until very late - there were so many things happening during the holiday, and by the time everyone realized that they were chatting too late, it was almost one o'clock.

'Hal, this brat,' he muttered as he got dressed. He only found out when they chatted at night yesterday that Hal didn't hide out to open the door or anything, but to spy on the prefect's date and was discovered by the shameless prefect - he was chased all the way to the point that he didn't dare to stay in the lounge until he saw Andrew and then returned to the dormitory with the help of his superiors.

"You actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail me. You really have the potential to be a reporter. You run fast and have thick skin."

He made his final assessment, quietly left the dormitory, and began to jog along his familiar route.

"As usual, I'll go to the greenhouse to make the model, and then run all the way to Hagrid's..."

It had been like this last year, and this year was no exception - the hard-working senior students had already started working in the greenhouse, and Professor Adams was directing them to carefully prepare things like potions.

"Ah, Andrew, you're here!"

When he saw Andrew, Professor Adams made a cheerful sound, "I started thinking about this during the summer vacation, but I can't come up with so many control groups by myself."

"Control group?"

"Yeah," Adams said happily, "Last year, didn't we roughly figure out the research on light supplementation? And we've almost figured out the hydroponics of some common herbs. This school year, I'm going to do something big."

"big?"

"Like, a tree or something."

"a tree?"

Andrew looked at Professor Adams in confusion.

"Yes, the precious tree species, the Whomping Willow. I have been eyeing it for a long time, but because it is too precious, the professor did not allow me to mess with it. It was not until last school year when I verified some possibilities that I was allowed."

It can be seen that Professor Adams is a little excited - from flowers and plants to the precious Whomping Willow, this is indeed a remarkable progress.

But why the Whomping Willow, Professor Adams? Why don’t you cultivate the 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 magic potions. Therefore, it was cut down on a large scale until its number was so scarce that it was protected. If the hydroponic willow branches can be successful this time, it will not be a trivial matter..."

Professor Adams said to Andrew excitedly, "It is completely different from the herb Biting Cabbage, which has limited uses. Of course, Biting Cabbage is in huge demand, after all, it is needed to deal with the Bone Spirit, but Biting Cabbage is too simple to cultivate."

“There are still biting kale growing in the greenhouse?”

"Yeah, but I prefer their full name - after all, that's where the best quality kale is produced. But ours is not bad either. It tastes refreshing and is perfect for salads. It just needs more malt vinegar to soften it."

what?
It’s true!
"Really? I'll make you a salad later," Professor Adams said as he went to the next compartment. When Andrew finished his transformation, Professor Adams came out with a large salad.

'Eat in the greenhouse?'

Andrew was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse. Although the timing was not good, the taste was really good. It tasted unusually crisp and refreshing, and even made him want to use the leaves of this thing to make rice dumplings. "Can I see them?"

Andrew enjoyed the meal very much and even had the urge to look at the victim - he didn't know what the wild ones tasted like, or whether they would have any special taste.

"Normally only fourth years are allowed to touch such dangerous plants, but I'm sure you'll be fine."

Professor Adams nodded, "Get ready, I'll take you to the greenhouse inside."

"no problem."

Andrew agreed, found two bundles of woven straw ropes from the corner of the greenhouse, turned them into boots for his feet, and then borrowed a pair of gloves. Then he followed Professor Adams and went all the way to the cabbage compartment.

"With this area, do Hogwarts students break bones every day?"

This was Andrew's first reaction after seeing the large field of biting kale.

"They are growing well, but you can't get too close to them," Professor Adams picked up an extremely long bamboo pole from the side, "Look, it looks like this - but don't provoke them too much, they will pull themselves up and bite you!"

This is absolutely true - even a little modest.

When the bamboo pole approached, the biting cabbage on the edge pulled itself out of the soil, opened its huge mouth, bit the bamboo pole in one bite, and then bit off a piece.

After chewing and finding it inedible, this cabbage that can be made into a delicious salad stuffs itself back into the soil - it has no hands, but its well-developed root system is like two extremely thick thighs, directly inserted into the soil.

'What did I just eat?'

Andrew was a little confused.

"How does one harvest this fellow, Professor?"

"Use medicine. Mix the powder of the seeds of the yellow-bark tree with water and water them once, and it will make them sleepy. However, there are also wizards who choose to directly use the coma spell, which is also very effective."

Professor Adams nodded. "In fact, some adventurers choose to use it to keep watch or explore the way. It requires a very high level of attainment in herbal medicine. After all, it is not easy to quickly grow aggressive cabbage."

'Then it's not my thing... After all, I can't put in that much effort in making herbs.'

"But I am also currently researching new rapid-growing techniques," Professor Adams said happily. "If I can thoroughly understand the hydroponics method, I may be able to produce hydroponic rapid-growing seeds in the future. But that will be a long time before that happens. And I guess I'll need a traceless expansion spell bag to carry it with me - at least that's the case for now."

He thought that he had taken at least half of the credit for the students' work last semester, so he expressed his thoughts without reservation.

But unfortunately, Professor Adams's efforts were in vain - due to his insufficient foundation in herbal medicine, Andrew could only understand it but could not even think about fully understanding it.

"Anyway, look, in the next period of time, I want to come up with something big. The professor is the same, Andrew!"

Professor Adams was full of motivation, "You have to work harder too!"
