Hu Dahai remembers very clearly that there was a Hangzhou Agricultural College in Hangzhou, and there was a professor in the college who was very knowledgeable about off-season greenhouse vegetables.

However, this professor was heavily criticized a few years ago because of issues related to his ingredients. In addition, the commercialization of off-season vegetables is very serious, and once involved, one is easily labeled as a speculator.

So although he possessed technical skills, he had no opportunity to use them and was often ridiculed. This led to a drastic change in his personality, making him extremely irritable.

In my previous life, four or five years later, a Hong Kong businessman came to the mainland to invest in off-season vegetable cultivation. At that time, he encountered a technical bottleneck and found this professor to help him.

At the time, their off-season vegetables tasted good, had high yields, and looked good. In just one year, they became famous throughout the country. At the press conference, the professor said with tears in his eyes, "I kept this technology hidden for nearly ten years. I thought I was going to take it to my grave. Now it has finally come in handy."

"Hehe." Hu Dahai chuckled mischievously at the thought, "Looks like I'll have to snatch the professor away from me this time."

The next morning, Hu Dahai and Bao Yuanshan pushed two carts full of fresh vegetables and seafood to the state-owned textile factory. Under the guidance of the factory's staff, they sold the produce to the factory's canteen.

The cafeteria chefs were full of praise when they saw these vegetables that had just died.

After leaving the state-owned textile factory, they went to collect fish from the Fengsheng brigade and took them to the state-owned food factory. After selling all the fish, they no longer sell fish at the market.

Firstly, as the weather gets colder, there are fewer eels. The two state-owned factories can easily handle the eels they collect, so there's no need to sell them at the market. After all, selling at the market takes too much time, and time is the most important thing for Hu Dahai right now.

After doing all this, Hu Dahai had Bao Yuanshan push the two empty carts home, while he rode his bicycle with the gifts, changing into clean and tidy clothes.

Asking and searching along the way, we arrived at the gate of Hangzhou Agricultural College. At this time, the Agricultural College had not yet been merged into Hangzhou University. Standing at the school gate, the old gate gave people a simple and steady feeling.

Just as Hu Dahai was standing at the entrance of Hangzhou Agricultural College, Huang Renfa, along with his daughter Huang Yunya, arrived at the fish market where Hu Dahai and his family sold fish in a car.

They searched around and did see quite a few fish vendors, but Huang Yunya looked carefully and still couldn't find the man who had saved her.

"Xiaoya, are you sure you remember that person's face?" Huang Renfa was worried that his daughter might have forgotten, because they had already gone to three vegetable markets today and had not seen the benefactor.

Huang Yunya blushed slightly as she thought of the man's arm around her yesterday, his resolute face, and the way she held him tightly.

"No, I'll definitely remember him if I see him," Huang Yunya said firmly. "He's not in any of these vegetable markets."

"Alright, if it's not here, then let's try another place." Huang Renfa was undeterred and got back into the car to continue his search. He was determined to find the person who saved his daughter and thank him in person.

Hu Dahai walked through the gates of Hangzhou Agricultural College. In those days, Hangzhou Agricultural College was not strictly managed, and outsiders could enter directly.

After entering the school, Hu Dahai didn't know where the professor was, so he had to ask students along the way. Finally, after asking seven or eight students, he arrived at the door of an office.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

A crisp knock on the door sounded.

But before his door was even opened, the doors to several other offices nearby had already opened.

Then one by one, heads popped out from inside to see who it was.

"Are you looking for Professor Sun Tai?" someone asked softly.

Sun Tai is the name of that agricultural professor.

Hu Dahai nodded: "Yes, is Professor Sun in this office?"

The man nodded, and then one by one, they entered the office and closed the door.

"My God, someone actually came looking for this plague god. There's bound to be a big commotion soon."

"Yes, Professor Sun's temper is now so bad that no one can control him. Even the principal has to give way to him."

"I bet this guy will only stay in there for 5 seconds at most. That office is so messy there's barely room to walk."

"5 seconds? You're giving him way too much credit. I bet he wouldn't last even a second. He probably wouldn't even get in before being kicked out."

A group of people were whispering behind his back, and in their hearts, they all didn't think highly of Hu Dahai.

Although others couldn't hear their hushed conversations, Hu Dahai heard them clearly. He thought to himself: It seems that Sun Tai is indeed not in a good state right now.

Amidst the murmurs of these people, the door to Hu Dahai's office creaked open.

Then a disheveled face appeared from inside. He looked Hu Dahai up and down and said, "Who are you? What are you doing knocking? Don't you know I'm taking a nap in there? Are you out of your mind?!"

Hu Dahai was given a thorough dressing-down by Sun Tai, but through his disheveled hair, he could tell that this man was indeed Sun Tai.

The man he was now was completely different from the glamorous figure he had presented to reporters and the media in his previous life.

“Professor Sun,” Hu Dahai smiled, “I’ve come to ask for your help. I need help with growing off-season vegetables, and I’ve heard that you’re a leader in this industry, so I wanted to bother you today.”

Sun Tai was about to close the office door when he heard about off-season vegetables, and he immediately stopped.

He looked Hu Dahai up and down again, and figured he didn't seem like the kind of person who would lie.

"Come in." He released his hand from the doorknob and walked into the office with his hands behind his back.

Hu Dahai's face lit up with joy, and he quickly followed him inside.

Sun Tai's office was filled with papers and books on the floor and on the desk, with only a narrow passageway leading in.

Hu Dahai followed Sun Tai's steps carefully, afraid of accidentally stepping on his important documents.

"Tell me, what's your problem?" Sun Tai walked to his seat and sat down, showing no intention of getting a seat for Hu Dahai.

"Professor Sun, it's like this. I'm from Qunyi Brigade in Hangzhou. I've contracted 100 mu of land in our brigade, and I want to grow off-season vegetables specifically."

“We have people and land, but we lack technology. I believe in your technology, Professor Sun, so we really hope that you can help us. We are willing to offer you shares.”

"Currently, 100 mu is just our starting point. We will continue to expand the scale. We have plenty of land there. Not to mention 100 mu, we can even requisition 1,000 mu."

Hu Dahai stood before his teacher like a student, reporting his situation. He had no choice; when you need something from someone, you have to humble yourself.

He wanted to say something more, but Sun Tai raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute, repeat what you just said."

“Oh, one hundred acres is just our starting point…” Hu Dahai said after a moment of surprise.

“Not this sentence, the one before it.” Sun Tai continued to raise his hand to stop him.

Hu Dahai reacted quickly and instantly understood what Sun Tai meant: "We trust Professor Sun's skills."

"Say it again," Sun Tai said, smoothing his messy hair.
