The experimental platform of the greenhouse was finally built, and at the group meeting, Professor Li also affirmed the achievements made by Zhao Anran during this time, and Zhao Anran specially thanked the juniors and disciples for their help. Professor Li suggested that Zhao Anran should grow some cash crops in the greenhouse, such as Chinese medicinal herbs. However, after reviewing the literature, Zhao Anran rejected Professor Li's proposal. She reported her thoughts at the group meeting, saying that the planting cycle of Chinese medicinal materials is too long, and for her, who wants to graduate with a doctorate in four years, there is no way to obtain experimental results that can be controlled, and she cannot guarantee that she can grow Chinese medicinal materials to survive. She proposed to plant flowers, mainly fresh cut flowers, but was rejected by Professor Li, who believed that the economic value of fresh cut flowers was not high, and the basis for measurement was not rigorous enough, so it was not suitable as a sample for scientific research.

After going back and forth, in the matter of selecting plants in the greenhouse, Zhao Anran actually got on the bar with Professor Li. Liu Hanlin joked with Zhao Anran in private: "You are really the first student to repeatedly reject Professor Li's proposal, I admire your courage?" Aren't you afraid that Professor Li will get angry? ”

"Of course, I'm afraid that Professor Li will get angry, but this is about the future of my research! If I grow Chinese medicinal herbs, it may take me two or three years to get a little harvest, so if I need to compare the two planting cycles, won't it take me five or six years? I'm not going to graduate, am I? My daughter is still waiting for me to take care of her after graduation! Zhao Anran pouted.

"Then don't go straight to it, you take a detour and see if you can find other better cash crops, Professor Li is against planting flowers, and you don't try to work flowers." Liu Hanlin persuaded.

Zhao Anran nodded, she knew that Liu Hanlin was for her good, and in this scientific research team, Liu Hanlin was definitely the one who wanted her to be good the most.

After repeatedly searching the literature, Zhao Anran found that strawberry is a crop with great research value, and the growth cycle is short, and the quality parameters of the fruit are relatively easy to determine. Overjoyed, she quickly compiled a lot of information, and after calculating it, she decided that it was feasible, and then approached Dr. Reda and asked him to help see if she could grow it in her greenhouse. Dr. Reda looked at some of the English materials compiled by Zhao Anran, and then carefully searched other relevant English literature, and gave a positive answer to Zhao Anran's proposal.

With the support of Dr. Reda, Zhao Anran made a PPT of the report, giving a detailed analysis of the planting conditions, greenhouse environment, measurement parameters and economic value, and then put forward his own ideas at the group meeting. After listening to the report, Professor Li finally did not object to Zhao Anran's proposal, but only expressed a little doubt about whether she could successfully grow strawberries.

"Professor Li, teachers, please give me three months, although I only have a little theoretical knowledge in planting, but I want to try to apply what I have learned. I also wanted to see if my efforts worked. Zhao Anran expressed his thoughts very firmly at the group meeting. Professor Li eventually agreed to give her three months to try.

Now the big question is where to buy strawberry seedlings suitable for experiments? Zhao Anran looked for purchase channels on the Internet, and turned to the classmates who worked in Ming City, and finally found a friend of her master's classmate's friend, who could provide her with a batch of strawberry seedlings, but there was no way to go through the school's formal procurement procedures.

If it was Zhao Anran, who was still working, the more than 1,000 yuan would be nothing, but now she has no job and can only rely on the school's subsidy to live, and more than 1,000 yuan is already her living expenses for a month. She didn't tell anyone about it, she just wanted to successfully grow strawberries and start her own research as soon as possible.
