Class Teacher System

Chapter 61，Part 2: Against heaven and earth (20.2)

At this moment, Zhang Hai Tao and the others had already started to come back and report their findings to their teacher.

The first one was Zhang Hai Tao: “Teacher, the area I looked at should be lettuce. I have eaten lettuce salad at home before. When I tore off a small piece to taste, it had the same flavour. But in order to make sure, I still dug one out and brought it over. Teacher, am I correct?”

Zhang Hai Tao held up the fresh and tender green vegetable for everyone to look at. Giving it a glance, Ren Zhu nodded: “Yes, this is lettuce, and it also looks like a pretty good variety. After it’s washed clean, it can be eaten raw, tossed in a salad or wrapped together with barbecue pork belly. They’ll all be delicious. This vegetable can replenish the essential vitamins in our body. It is one of the vegetables we should eat every day.”

As a result, Zhao Hai Tao immediately felt that what he was holding wasn’t a lettuce, but rather a precious green gem that was worth a lot of money. “Teacher! Can I apply for watering the lettuce every day?”

Ren Zhu smiled: “Indeed, our vegetable field needs to be taken care of every day. The sunlight here is very abundant, so the vegetables should be watered every day. Since you volunteered, then you’ll be in charge of the lettuce area. You can’t slack off; everyone’s vitamins depend on you.”

Zhang Hai Tao puffed out his chest: “Don’t worry! I will protect the lettuce with my life!”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Then there were the two cousins, Peng Fei Qi and Peng Fei Xian. The vegetables in their hands were actually very easy to recognise. The main thing was that their odour was very strong.

Peng Fei Qi coughed: “I am certain that this is green onion. The No. 2 area has two types of plants. One is green onion and the other is garlic. Although they look similar above the ground, after I dug them out, I found that one had garlic cloves. I’ve seen it before.”

Ren Zhu nodded: “Very good. It looks like you know a lot about food. Then, the No. 2 restaurant will be taken care of by you. This is our seasoning section, so it’s very important. If we don’t have them, then all our meals would be flavourless.”

Peng Fei Qi felt that he had a great responsibility.

Peng Fei Xian quickly squeezed over and held up his hands as though he was presenting a treasure: “Teacher, teacher! This is carrot right? Look at this appearance, I am definitely not wrong! Carrots can replenish vitamins and are also good for your eyes.”

Ren Zhu smiled: “Right. Carrots can also be blended into juice. Whether it’s a side dish or a main dish, they are all good. Additionally, they can be used to stew beef.”

“Then I’ll take care of the No. 3 area!”

The fourth to speak was Zhao An An’s group of girls. Ren Zhu also glanced at Qin Shu. That child looked completely calm and not the least bit in a hurry.

“Is this sweet potato? It looks a bit old……” Zhao An An didn’t quite like the appearance of sweet potatoes.

Ren Zhu coughed: “But it is very delicious and sweet. It can be eaten immediately after roasting and is good at filling hunger. It can also be made into sugar glazed sweet potatoes. En, I’ll make some for you guys today.”

Zhao An An became happy after hearing this. Wang Jie Er had also dug her vegetable from the ground: “Teacher, teacher! This should be potato, right?”

“Correct, this is potato. Sour and spicy shredded potato is a very tasty dish.” Ren Zhu felt touched. This tropical location was so good. Even if it was winter, vegetables of other seasons could still grow here.

“Teacher, my section is full of chillies! A field of red and green chillies; it looks so pretty! However, I think the variety isn’t the same. There are fat ones, as well as this thin and pointy one. Do they have any difference?” Li Jia Xin help up two completely different looking chillies and asked.

Ren Zhu took them and felt that the school was very knowledgeable in assigning what to plant in the vegetable field: “This thin and pointy chilli is generally quite spicy. It can be used to make chilli paste. Putting a little into stir fry can enhance the flavour. This fat one is called capsicum. There are three kinds of colours: red, yellow and green. They are not spicy at all, but have a slight sweetness, so they can also be tossed in a salad.”

Li Jia Xin’s eyes lit up, feeling like her section was the best. To the side, young master Qin interjected with interest: “Later on, we should pick some more chillies and dry them in the sun. After grinding them into powder, everyone can carry a small bag to use for self-defence. They also have a certain lethality towards the animals on this island.”

Consequently, the students all gazed towards the sixth piece of land. They couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. The chillies were so good! Not only could they be eaten, they could also be used as a weapon!

Peng Fei Qi was unwilling to admit defeat: “Teacher, can’t my garlic and green onion be used as a weapon? Garlic is also spicy!”

Young master Qin and Ren Zhu thought of garlic and chilli powder and felt that the flavour would certainly be very refreshing. “Alright. Let’s also grind some later.”

Now, the 7 students were all wracking their brains to think of what other uses their vegetable had. At this moment, Qin Shu calmly took out the plant from his own section: “My area had corn. It can be boiled and directly eaten as a snack between meals. It can also be blended into juice, used in dishes, as well as tossed into salads. As for a weapon, the corn cobs can be tied together into a rod or thrown like a hand grenade.”

Qin Cong chuckled: “You sure know a lot.”

Qin Shu glanced at his brother with slight disdain: “Of course. I want to be a top journalist.” He must know everything!

Hearing Qin Shu, everyone felt that corn was also very good.

“My lettuce can lure pheasants.”

“My carrots can also attract rabbits!”

“My sweet potatoes can fill the stomach. If necessary, they can also be thrown as weapons.”

“Potatoes are good as well. They can also be used as weapons.”

As everyone started to contend against each other, Ren Zhu smiled and said: “Alright, these vegetables are all good. What’s most important is that in the next half a month, you guys must take good care of your own section of the vegetable field. You can’t let everyone run out of food. Let’s now go to the beach nearby. We should be able to collect some shellfish to take back and eat. We’ll first eat seafood at noon today and then in the afternoon, we’ll go look around the mountain and hunt some pheasants or rabbits.”

The students clamoured and happily rushed towards the beach.

There were plenty of sources of food on the beach. In the rocky reefs, there were barnacles, conchs, as well as other shellfish. In the shallow waters between the rocks, they could also occasionally see some small silver fish. These could be deep fried, or dried in the sun and made into dried fish strips. In addition, they could also see small octopuses and sea cucumbers. Only after he lectured them for half an hour to take care of their safety, Ren Zhu finally let young master Qin take the 4 boys to go gather molluscs and small fish by the sea. He then took the 3 girls to pick vegetables in the field. Naturally, he mentioned that they would swap places tomorrow. He couldn’t always let the boys run to the beach to play.

At about 12:10, the seaside collection team and the vegetable field team had both completed their tasks. Each carrying a basket full of raw ingredients, they looked at each other’s results and laughed. Ren Zhu took a photo of this scene to keep as a memento and then entered the house to post it online.

It was amazing that although his cell phone had no signal, the computer in the house could still send photos on WeChat.

But this was also the only thing they could use to communicate. After he sent out the photograph, the parents immediately gave it a like and expressed that with Teacher Ren taking care of their children, they were reassured.

For lunch, Teacher Ren and young master Qin were in charge of cooking.

For the first time, Qin Shu discovered that his brother actually had an unparalleled talent for cooking!! Seeing the braised conch, fragrant spicy squid, deep fried fish strips, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, sugar glazed sweet potatoes, as well as stir-fried green vegetables, Qin Shu knelt down for his brother in his heart. The three non-vegetarian dishes were all made by his brother!

The other boys and girls were also extremely amazed by Big Brother Qin’s craftsmanship, each giving young master Qin and their own teacher a cheer.

Zhao An An even propped up her little chin and said to Qin Shu with seriousness: “Qin Shu, I’ve discovered that not only is Big Brother Cong handsome and rich, he is also very skilled at cooking. In addition, his figure and fighting skills are also very good. Isn’t he just the perfect diamond bachelor? Qin Shu, how about I become your sister-in-law?”

Qin Shu immediately exploded and roared: “Don’t even think about it! My brother already has Teacher! You dare to steal Teacher’s man?!”

Zhao An An: “…… I’m just joking.”

Young master Qin and Teacher Ren: “……”

The other children: “……” Zhao An An is really daring ah.

Next chapter will be out Sunday/Monday because I will be out for a few days.
