Chapter 486 Linnaeus
“Well, let’s end it like this at noon. I’ll be the host to treat all of you to dinner at Shengzeyuan this evening, and I’ll be waiting for you to come at seven o’clock. If you have a good opinion of me, please come.”
Before Huzi opened his mouth, Ding Ning rose to his feet calmly and said indifferently.
“Brother-in-law, I…”
Huzi was anxiously about to say something, but Ding Ning stopped him by waving his hand and said firmly, “Trust me.”
Huzi felt that his blood surged excitedly. Glancing at Mosquito, he found that her eyes were firm, so he said heroically at once, “Okay, Mosquito and I will be there this evening.”
“No problem, brother-in-law, since you want to go, I would go with you even if it were a den of tigers.”
Li Zhe was a brave man and showed his attitude with a smile instantly.
“Fuck, I’ve thought that the jerk Zhao Zifeng is unpleasant to the eye for a long time. Brother-in-law, I’ll go and drink the alcohol on your treat.”
“Brother-in-law, since it is your treat, I, Jianghua, will go to the party, and I won’t go back tonight until I get drunk.”
“Hee, hee, when Big Sister and Childe Dai were here, I was not afraid of anyone. Although they are not here now, I still have the guts to go to dinner.”
“Brother-in-law, you are so handsome. Even for this reason alone, I will also go and drink tonight!”
“Who are we Demon Girl Gang afraid of? I am a little afraid of Zhao Zilong, but I’m not afraid of Zhao Zifeng. I will be there this evening.”
…
At this moment, everyone at the scene knew the whole story, waving their fists indignantly, and promised to go to the party in the evening.
Although several of them had some fear, since others had promised to go, they would look too ashamed if they dared not to go.
Thinking further, they drew this conclusion: Even if Zhao Zifeng was domineering, they only went to eat something at a party, and they believed that he would not easily offend all the people present. Anyway, the Zhao Family had not yet reached the level of ruling everything.
The final result was that apart from Ding Ning and Yagyuu Asamayu, all the 15 people at the scene agreed to attend the party.
Ding Ning happily took Yagyuu Asamayu away. No matter how many of these people could go in the end, now they showed him enough respect at least. This was also a touchstone for him to judge if it was worthwhile to become close friends with them. Indeed, he was picky about making friends.
Xiao Nuo’s friends were not necessarily his friends. “Can the friends who fool around together because of profits stand the test?”
“Dad, the lobster sashimi tasted very good just now, didn’t it?”
Yagyuu Asamayu followed Ding Ning into the elevator like a little child. Wearing a drooling expression, she pouted and said.
“If you want to eat, I’ll take you to eat enough when we go back. But why don’t you listen to me? Do you forget again that I asked you to call me brother?”
Ding Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. “This girl is a Fuso person and is used to eating sashimi. Just now, I especially ordered a piece of lobster sashimi for her, and she just bears it in mind.”
“Oh, brother!”
Yagyuu Asamayu pouted and entangled her legs like vines as if she had lost all her bones and kept twisting in a strange way like a maggot.
Ding Ning stared at the scene surprisingly. “I never expected this girl to be as soft as something boneless. This degree of softness is even better than that of Luoxue’s yoga.”
Suddenly, Ding Ning remembered the feeling that the seemingly boneless Luoxue made him feel so comfortable in bed. Immediately, a flame of lust appeared in his heart, and he thought shamelessly, “It should also be very comfortable to bed Money Bag, right?”
With a tinkle, the door of the elevator opened, and two blue-eyed blond foreigners came in and passed by Ding Ning, who was walking out.
“Excuse me, are you Mr. Ding Ning?”
One of the foreigners, dressed in casual clothes, was tall and had a red-tipped nose without much hair suddenly got out of the elevator and ignoring the surprised eyes of his companion, grabbed Ding Ning, and asked in a not influent Shenzhou language.
Ding Ning looked at him in surprise. According to his memory, he seemed to have never seen this guy with a red-tipped nose and spoke in English, “I am, and you know me?”
“Oh, my God, I did not expect to meet you here, and I was afraid I mistook you for someone else! Hello, Mr. Ding, let’s me introduce myself. I am Carl Larson Linnaeus, an academician of Karolinska Institute…”
After spending a long time nagging about his extremely redundant name, the red-nosed foreigner shrugged and said humorously, “My name is a little long. I guess you can’t remember it. Of course, you can call me Linnaeus.”
When he found that his colleague had also walked out of the elevator, Linnaeus introducing his companion while taking his arm, “This is my colleague, Bachelor Anderson.”
“Hi, hello, I am Anderson!”
Anderson beamed and stared at Ding Ning as his eyes glinted. “I did not expect to meet Mr. Ding by chance here, and I thought that I would have to wait a few more days.”
“Bachelor Linnaeus and Bachelor Anderson, why do you stop me?”
Ding Ning heard them talk for a long time, but he only learned that they were academicians of Karolinska Institute. As for the reason to stop him, he was still confused, and only a little vaguely guessed it but was not sure.
“Mr. Ding, can we go somewhere and have a chat while drinking coffee?”
Linnaeus also seemed to think that it was inappropriate to talk about the thing here, and asked.
“Okay, or let’s go to my room? As for coffee, we can call room service.”
Ding Ning found that they looked sincere. After thinking about it for a moment, he invited him to his room to conduct a negotiation.
Fortunately, what Huzi had reserved for him was a business suite, with a living room outside the room. After telling Yagyuu Asamayu to go and stay in the room, Ding Ning asked them to sit on the couch in the living room politely.
Then, he called and asked the receptionist of the front desk to bring them two cups of coffee, while he just took out a tea box and some tea and poured a pot of tea water. As soon as the boiling water entered the teapot, the fragrance of the tea immediately wafted and filled the whole room.
“Oh, my God! Mr. Ding, what is this? Why is it so fragrant?”
Linnaeus, who looked usually optimistic and seemed to be a good talker, sniffed with his red nose and asked with an exaggerated expression.
“This is the tea I stir-fried myself. Do two of you want to have a try?”
Ding Ning fetched two cups and poured a cup for either of them.
This tea was not an ordinary tea, but one made of 27 kinds of associated weeds, which he gathered from the ecological simulated rainforest environment in the Green Field Villa, raised them for half a month with the spiritual aura he had collected by using the Spirit-gathering Charm, and finally stir-fried them with a special method.
Although they were only weeds, they still had a trace of medicine because they were the associated plants of the herbs. In addition, they also had somewhat Spiritual Energy. Therefore, if an ordinary person drank it, they would absolutely become healthier and have a longer life.
Initially, he was afraid that these weeds would take away the nutrients of the herbs, so he asked workers to get rid of the weeds. When finding that these weeds all got medicinal properties, he had an idea – he stir-fried these weeds like tea leaves. It could be regarded as a way of making use of the waste.
The method of stir-frying tea leaves had been recorded in the medical book Compendium of Vegetation. When he stir-fried them the first time, he used 36 kinds of weeds, but the tea leaves after the stir-frying process were a great failure because they were bitter and scorched the throat with a spicy flavor.
Later, he removed nine kinds of bitter-tasting wild grasses before they were fried successfully. Although the taste was very good, the tea was not much different from ordinary tea leaves.
After carefully pondering this again, he added some Cuihui juice to enhance the taste, then raised it with the Spiritual Energy for half a month, and finally stir-fried the tea successfully, which was named “Spiritual Emerald Tea.”
“Oh, my God, I have never drunk such good tea. It tastes fragrant as it enters the mouth, and its aftertaste is pure and good, giving the mouth lots of fragrance. Mr. Ding, where can I buy this tea?”
Apparently, Anderson was a person who loved tea and could judge the quality of tea leaves by drinking them. As the first gulp went down, he kept praising the tea at once. Obviously, his Shenzhou language standard was much better than Linnaeus’s, for he even used Shenzhou idioms very appropriately.
“Apologies, this is the tea I stir-fried myself, and you can’t buy it anywhere.”
His words suddenly gave Ding Ning an inspiration. “I can consider stir-frying tea leaves and sell them in the future!” But he gave up this idea soon.
“I can make money by simply doing any kind of business, and why do I have to consume so much energy to make these small sums of money? Planting weeds for making tea leaves gains less than the loss.”
Even if he had large amounts of raw materials, he did not feel like using his energy to stir-fry the tea. Anyway, he just produced some to drink for fun only with the idea of making use of the waste.
“I feel quite sorry. This tea is really so tasty. I feel comfortable from head to foot as I drink a mouthful down as if all of my tiredness has disappeared without a trace. It’s a pity if I can’t drink it later.”
Linnaeus drank up the tea water with a look of ecstasy and then refilled his cup. Now, he did not even bother to look at the coffee delivered by their room service.
Ding Ning gave a helpless wry smile. “I don’t have much of this tea, either. Let’s do this way. I will give either of you half a kilo as a gift in a while.”
“Oh, thank you so much! Dear Ding, I believe we will become good friends.”
Linnaeus cried out happily. If all of them were not sitting on the sofa, he would definitely give Ding Ning a hug.
“Ding, thank you for your generosity. I’m afraid that I can’t drink such good tea in the future anymore. What you don’t know is that I like Shenzhou’s tea culture.”
Compared with Linnaeus, Anderson was much more reserved. After extending his gratitude to Ding Ning, he also gave an explanation.
“I can understand. Those who like drinking tea will never tire of drinking the good tea he meets.”
Ding Ning shrugged his shoulders and pretended to go into the room, but in fact, he took out two boxes of tea from the Mermaid Space.
He did not lie to them. In total, he stir-fried about 15kg of the Spiritual Emerald Tea. He kept 5kg of tea for Xiaoniu and his colleagues, gave 1kg to her sister, who had taken it to her office and left 1.5kg at home to entertain guests.
When he came to Yan Jing this time, he only brought 7.5kg, giving 1kg to Huzi and Mosquito and 1kg to Minister Jiang and leaving the rest to himself.
Unexpectedly, the two foreigners took 1 kg at a time. This could be regarded as a gift he gave to them to build friendships.
After all, he had guessed their purpose from their identities, so he was so generous. Anyway, he and the foreigners had not reached the degree of feeling like old friends at the first unexpected meeting.
The Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry were evaluated by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; the Literary Prize was evaluated by the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts; the Peace Prize was selected by the Norwegian Parliament; the Economic Award was commissioned by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; the Physiology or Medicine Prize was assessed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Caroline Medical College (Karolinska Institute).
Each awarding unit had a Nobel Committee composed of five people responsible for the selection work, and this committee was changed every three years.
The selection process was: Candidates recommended in each field of the Nobel Prize were accepted from September to January 31 of the following year.
Usually, 1,000-2,000 candidates were recommended each year, and those who were eligible for recommending candidates included: The previous Nobel Prize winners, members of the Nobel Committee, specially designated university professors, and specially invited professors of the Nobel Committee.
This time was just the period of recommendation for Nobel Prize candidates. If Ding Ning did not guess wrong, Linnaeus and Anderson were members of the Nobel Committee for Medicine, and they had traveled thousands of miles to Yan Jing to inquire about the Rice Bean Oral Solution.
But he was curious. “The Rice Bean Oral Solution has not been completely successful in clinical trials, and the state still keeps it a secret, so who on earth recommended me?”
But Linnaeus did not make him wait too long before giving him the answer. The recommender was Academician Cao Jingsen of the Physiology and Medicine Department of the Shenzhou Academy of Sciences. Since he himself did not have the right to recommend candidates, he specifically called his friend Linnaeus and asked him to recommend Ding Ning personally.
