Chapter 69 After-school Conflict
The following classes were conducted in an orderly manner. Professor Sprout first explained to the young wizards the theoretical knowledge of the components and growth cycle of Dictamnus, as well as the techniques and precautions for planting herbs. He then led everyone to familiarize themselves with various planting tools, such as dragon leather gloves, shovels, flower pots, etc.
When everything was ready, Professor Sprout began to demonstrate to everyone how to plant, maintain and process dill.
She only did it once herself, then decisively handed the young Ravenclaw wizard over to Yang Tian for instruction, while she focused on instructing the Slytherin students.
After a morning of farming class, the young wizards were exhausted, especially the Slytherins who were originally well-dressed, now looking the most embarrassed.
These pure-blood nobles had never suffered such hardships before. They sat on the ground without any image, complaining in groups of three or four. Looking at the listless Bai Xian after being taken care of by them, Professor Sprout could not help but feel disappointed.
Instead, when Yang Tian was instructing Ravenclaw, he proposed a new planting plan:
Deep plowing 25-30 cm and adding a drop of cheap nutrient every 13 cm can greatly shorten the growth cycle of white mulberry and significantly increase the yield.
This plan immediately attracted the attention of Professor Sprout.
She tried it simply according to Yang Tian's instructions and found that in just ten minutes, the white mulberry seeds had actually undergone some changes in the soil. Although it was still far from germination, it was more than ten times faster than the seeds in the same reaction state.
The professor was very happy with this discovery and gave Ravenclaw +10 points directly. She also promised that if the experiment was successful, she would give Ravenclaw another +20 points...
This action made the Slytherin snakes very angry.
Learning to farm in the Herbology class already made them feel ashamed, and now they were so biased towards Ravenclaw. These two things combined made the Slytherins completely collapse.
Of course, they didn't dare to lose their temper directly in front of Professor Sprout, but once they left the greenhouse after class, they no longer had any scruples.
Draco still maintained his aloof aristocratic image, but his sharp roar betrayed his mood at the moment:
"Humph, what a crap Herbology class! This kind of work is only fit for house-elves. A Muggle farmer's soil turning plan is worth 30 house points. When did Hogwarts' house points become so worthless? There must be some shady dealings going on here. It's a shame."
"If Professor Sprout does not revoke her stupid decision, then from now on, I will refuse to come to the greenhouse for classes again. I will also write a letter to my father and ask the board of directors to make a ruling on this stupid behavior. I want that professor and the damned Yang Tian to receive the punishment they deserve."
After saying this, he became more and more righteous and complacent, as if everything he said had become a reality, and he had become a hero, highly sought after.
The young wizards in Slytherin seemed to have found their backbone and began to agree. For a moment, indignant complaints were heard everywhere.
Just as the little snakes were getting more and more excited, a very harsh and sarcastic laugh sounded behind them.
The angry little snakes turned around and glared, only to find that Yang Tian was sitting on the somersault cloud and floating slowly towards them, followed by the little eagles of Ravenclaw.
Yang Tian deliberately controlled the flying cloud to fly a little higher than usual, and came to Draco lightly and looked down and said: "Wow, Draco, your remarks remind me of a title in China, called the stupid son of the landlord."
"Yang Tian, you dare to insult me, I will..." Draco said angrily with veins bulging.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Tian: "Going home to see dad again? But you got one thing wrong, this is definitely not an insult, but a statement of fact!"
"You may not know that one of the important sources of income for your Malfoy family is the sale of potions. How could your foolish son look down on the Master of Herbology?"
"Herbalism is only suitable for house-elves? Do you know how much reputation and supply your family will lose in an instant after your ignorant remarks?"
Listening to Yang Tian's endless mocking words, Draco's face turned pale with anger.
But Yang Tian obviously had no intention of letting him go: "What do you mean by the Muggle soil turning plan? Do you know how much theoretical research and experimental data were required to come up with this?"
"I can tell you clearly that this proposal has received preliminary approval from Professor Sprout. If the experimental data really meets expectations, it will be published in the journal Amazing Nature in the form of a paper."
Yang Tian smiled playfully and said, "Draco, don't worry. After the paper is published, I will find a way to publish your comments in the Daily Prophet. I guarantee that your Malfoy family will become more famous."
How could Malfoy still have any aristocratic demeanor at this moment? He was so frightened by the scene described by Yang Tian that he sat down on the ground.
Yang Tian snorted coldly, then turned back to look at the little snakes in Slytherin and said coldly: "And you, when you listen to others in the future, use your brains and don't be bewitched so easily."
"Did you know that a potion master has at least three herbal masters as friends in his life? Did you know that more than 90% of the herbs needed for Professor Snape's potion experiments come from Professor Sprout?"
"Come on, go back now and tell your beloved dean your thoughts. I am really looking forward to seeing Professor Snape's reaction after hearing your true thoughts. See if he will still hold you in the palm of his hand like a treasure."
After hearing these words, all the little snakes present opened their mouths in shock, with a look of disbelief.
Looking at these panicked little wizards, Yang Tian also lost interest in continuing to educate them.
Just as he was about to turn around, he seemed to remember something and said to Daphne and Pansy, "You two, why don't you find some more reliable friends to play with? Has no one in your family ever told you not to play with idiots?"
After saying that, he looked at the two girls with an impatient expression. Only when he saw the two girls nodding like chicks pecking at rice did Yang Tian lead the little eagles away. However, he did not realize that the two girls' nails had already pierced deeply into his flesh...
The afternoon Herbology class was uneventful, and the work was still on the maintenance of the dill. The Slytherin wizards were as well-behaved as they could be. Apparently, they had confirmed the authenticity of Yang Tian's words through their own channels at noon.
Only Draco seemed a little lost, looking at Yang Tian several times, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated...
