Chapter 139 The trouble with reorganizing the family (34)
At the end of August, the capital is still feeling hot.
Xu Yin took the old lady to the prairie. The grandfather and grandson rented a yurt and played there for a few days. They accidentally discovered a medicinal material called "Ephedra", which lit up another Chinese herbal medicine illustration.
When people are happy, they like to buy, buy, buy.
In addition to the local dairy and meat products, I also pre-ordered a batch of fresh beef and mutton, filled in the address of Danhe Village, and had it delivered directly to my home during the Chinese New Year.
Go back to the capital and rest for two days before starting school.
Worried that Grandma Xu would be lonely alone, Xu Yin carried grassland milk biscuits, soufflé candies, and beef cubes to accompany Grandma Xu to the small park to exercise, and saw the right opportunity to get close to the old men and women.
Who doesn’t have a little grandson or granddaughter who loves snacks? You’ll get to know them every time you go back and forth.
After Xu Yin started school, Grandma Xu followed them to dance yangko, Tai Chi, and square dancing. She would exercise in the morning and in the evening, twice a day. Once she got used to it, she would become unmotivated if she didn't go.
Unless it rains, it's unbeatable, and it doesn't even fall on weekends. It's more regular than Xu Yin, a schoolboy.
After getting to know each other well, Grandma Xu would often go shopping and buy groceries with these old ladies.
They know where the food is cheap and where the supermarkets often have promotions.
Grandma Xu’s Mandarin is not standard, but these old ladies speak standard Beijing accent. She can roughly understand it and it will not hinder her from going out.
In short, Grandma Xu’s life is more fulfilling than that in Danhe Village.
Xu Yin was relieved to see that she was adapting well. She was studying wine-making techniques in professional classes, occasionally hosting live broadcasts and recording food vlogs.
Huanong regarded her as a treasure.
On the first day of school, the principal went to the freshman registration office to greet her in person.
Since the school that Xu Yin applied for was announced on the Internet, Huanong, which was originally a low-key university and easily forgotten by the public, is also a 985/211 double first-class key university. In this way, it has entered everyone's attention.
As a result, Huanong’s enrollment is very hot this year. Majors that were not fully admitted in previous years can easily be filled this year.
The principal who worked in the enrollment season in the past year has always exposed the signature smile of Maitreya Buddha this year.
In his opinion, Xu Yin is Huanong’s lucky star.
Not only did he welcome her personally, he also asked her what her academic plans were and if she needed help.
Ever since Teacher Feng gave out that scarf, everyone who follows her knows that she took the Huanong exam for no other reason than to learn winemaking, and plans to get four years of credits in the shortest possible time, so they are curious about how she will arrange it.
Xu Yin didn’t have much idea. In addition to taking professional courses step by step, she also bought a lot of professional books on winemaking, some of which were original versions in foreign languages. She read them without classes.
When you feel inspired, try brewing a jar and bury it in the yard of your rental house.
Huanong’s School of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering has a Grape and Wine Research Center, which was established in cooperation with a well-known wine industry group. However, it only recruits master’s degree students majoring in wine.
She made a jar of wine a few years ago, using purple grapes grown in her backyard.
Grapes taste very good, and they taste good after being made into wine.
Village chief and other people who have tasted it all say it tastes much better than the extremely expensive wines sold by wineries. However, the evaluation given by the system is "mediocre".
This made her even more curious about how intoxicating the wine that "amazed the world" was.
Xu Yin asked the principal if undergraduate students who were not majoring in wine could audit graduate courses.
The principal mused: "No undergraduate students have ever made such an application before, so there are no regulations in this regard. Employees of the liquor industry group come to observe, and they have to attend a hearing. Otherwise, I will hold a hearing for you, and you Go and listen, but don’t miss out on the courses in your major.”
There are not many professional courses in the freshman year, and teachers in public courses rarely assign homework. Freshmen have a lot of spare time. Only Xu Yin has a more compact schedule than in her senior year of high school.
Xu Yin does not live on campus. From Monday to Friday, she disappears after class.
Either go to the library to study for an undergraduate course in the wine major, or study winemaking techniques by reading obscure foreign originals, or go to the Wine Research Center to audit graduate courses.
You can’t even see her on weekends.
Therefore, in the first half of the semester, her classmates didn’t even take photos of her face.
In class, she always sits in the first row where other students least like to go. After class, she either chases after the teacher to ask questions or goes to study elsewhere.
This is even true for a class, let alone other majors.
Everyone only hears his name but doesn’t see his person.
Those fellow students who were chasing her to apply for Huanong were beating their chests and crying online.

Topics like this are popping up on the hot search list in turn.
Netizens laughed and were filled with emotion after watching it.
Thinking back to those days, if they had only 60% of Juan Mei’s efforts, they might have realized Che Lizi’s dream of freedom today.
The reason why academic masters become academic masters is that in addition to talent and methods, self-discipline is also indispensable.
Most people cannot achieve such self-discipline, so they cannot become top academics.
When the maple leaves in Xiangshan turned red, the principal handed Xu Yin a registration form:
“Next year’s International Wine and Spirits Competition will be held in our country. It’s a competition at our doorstep. If you don’t go, you won’t go.”
Xu Yin learned about it. This competition is recognized by the industry as the world's top wine competition. It is also the world's largest and most distinguished wine and food feast. It is held once a year. In the early days, it was only held in a few European countries. In the past ten years, it has only accepted countries outside Europe. Undertaken.
This is the second time China has held it. The first time was in Shanghai five years ago. Maybe it was very successful, so the application was approved smoothly.
It seems that the competition time is still early, we have to wait until January next year.
However, contestants will have to submit a jar of wine they brewed by themselves, and it is already the end of October, and it is only two and a half months before the competition is completed. If you don’t have a jar of wine you have brewed before, you are not eligible to participate.
After Xu Yin came to Huanong, she was introduced by the principal to a graduate tutor in this major.
Under his guidance, two jars of wine have been brewed: one jar of green plum wine and one jar of sweet potato wine. They are all buried under the magnolia tree next to the courtyard wall.
Green plums and sweet potatoes are products from Huanong’s own experimental fields.
But the time is too short, it will only be three or four months at best until January next year.
By then, green plum wine will be drinkable, but this type of fruit wine is not very competitive.
The sweet potato wine has only been buried for a short time. In such a short period of time, it is far from the time when it tastes mellow and fragrant, and it is equivalent to being useless after opening it.
“It was Lao Fang who told me that you had tried brewing twice before I brought you a registration form to come and experience it. This kind of occasion is quite rare.”
The principal didn’t even think about asking her to compete for medals. How long had she been exposed to professional courses? She was an old professor like Lao Fang. Last time in Shanghai, she was ranked outside fifty, far away from the three gold, silver and bronze trophies.
