Chapter 758: Chapter 746: Qiao Jing’s Other Skills

When Qiao Jing found George, he was staring intently at the wild wheat before him, seemingly lost in thought and completely unaware of Qiao Jing’s approach.

"How did you end up here?"

Qiao Jing lifted her leg and walked over to sit next to George.

Hearing her voice, George snapped back to reality, "I just wanted to get some fresh air, but I stumbled upon this patch of wild wheat by chance."

"I forgot to remind you that it’s best not to wander around in these places."

Qiao Jing’s expression turned serious as she spoke with a hint of solemnity, "Out here in the wild, there are plenty of poisonous snakes and ferocious animals. If you’re unlucky enough to encounter them or get lost in the woods, it could be very dangerous."

George nodded, looking a bit apologetic as he said, "I’m sorry, I was too reckless and made you worry."

"It’s not that serious; you don’t need to apologize."

As she spoke, Qiao Jing subtly glanced at the wild wheat from the corner of her eye.

"By the way, what were you thinking about just now? You were so engrossed that you didn’t even notice me coming over."

George pursed his lips and honestly said, "When I saw this wheat, I couldn’t help but think about the research on the new type of wheat..."

He then shared his thoughts and insights about the research with Qiao Jing.

After listening, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Previously, in the laboratory, she had firmly refused to assist with the experiments due to her strong aversion to John and Frank’s methods.

However, due to her professional nature, she still found herself involuntarily considering the research on the new type of wheat in light of the climate in Country M.

What surprised her at the moment was that George’s thoughts on the research partially coincided with her own. _{f|ree(w)ebn\o.vel.com}

Besides, some of George’s insights were quite unique.

This made Qiao Jing feel very gratified; it turned out that accepting this apprentice wasn’t in vain.

Initially, when she took George as her apprentice, although gratitude was a factor, the main reason was that she saw George’s talent in agriculture...

After George finished sharing his thoughts, he noticed that Qiao Jing remained silent and expressionless.

He suddenly panicked, afraid that his master might misunderstand and think that he was trying to act as Mr. John’s advocate.

With this in mind, George quickly started to explain, somewhat flustered, "Master, please don’t get me wrong. I was just speaking about the research, saying whatever came to mind, and not trying to persuade you on behalf of Mr. John..."

Qiao Jing snapped out of her reverie and noticed the helpless look on George’s face, which made her smile.

She pulled a face and said lightly, "I haven’t misunderstood. It’s you who’s misunderstood. Our discussion is about academic matters, irrespective of borders or individuals."

"You have a certain talent in agriculture, and it’s good that you’re interested in experiments. If you want to continue the research on this new type of wheat, I support you."

George was momentarily stunned and asked uncertainly, "Master, is that really what you think?"

He had always believed that because of the bias against John and Frank, his master would not want to assist with the experiments, much less support him in researching the new type of wheat.

To his surprise, his master was so open-minded and thinking on such a high level, not only not opposed but also expressing support!

Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Otherwise? Could it be a falsehood?"

Although she did not give a direct answer, George now had a definitive response in his heart.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he opened his arms to hug her, "Master, you’re really the best!"

Qiao Jing reacted quickly, blocking him with her hand, and teased good-humoredly, "Calm down, calm down, I know how great I am."

Hearing this, George looked slightly surprised, not expecting his master to have such a side.

At the same time, he realized he had lost his composure, so he quickly withdrew his hand, giving an awkward smile, "Sorry, Master, I got a bit excited and almost offended you."

Qiao Jing waved her hand as if it were nothing, "It’s not a big deal, just be more careful next time."

As she finished speaking, she stood up and looked up at the sky, "It’s almost noon, time to find something to fill our stomachs."

Since yesterday, they had only eaten some fruit.

She hadn’t felt it upon waking up just now, but suddenly she felt so hungry she could feel her backbone touch her breastbone, and if she didn’t eat something soon, she really would collapse right where she stood!

"Then I’ll go pick some fruit and bring it back."

George said as he too got up and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Qiao Jing called out to stop George, and pursed her ruby lips, "Why eat just fruit? If we eat nothing but fruit all day long, the baby inside me is going to protest."

If it were just her alone, eating fruit every day wouldn’t really matter.

But now she was pregnant, and only eating fruit, the three babies inside her would lack nutrition and could develop poorly!

George scratched his head, his brows furrowed as well, appearing quite troubled, "Then what do we do? There doesn’t seem to be much else to eat on this island..."

As he was saying this, his gaze casually swept over a patch of wild wheat in front of him, and he immediately changed the subject, "How about we try some wheat?"

"However, this kind of wheat doesn’t look very tasty either."

Qiao Jing took over the conversation and slowly said, "Indeed, these wild varieties are not tasty, or rather, they are on the level of being hard to swallow, even less desirable than fruit."

"This..." George had a complicated expression, "Master, then let’s just make do with some fruit."

"I think you should broaden your perspective and not just focus on those few fruits."

As she said this, Qiao Jing casually picked a few plants from the bushes nearby.

Seeing her actions, George boldly guessed, "Master, do you mean that we can also eat grass?"

But to him, these plants seemed even less appetizing than the wheat...

Qiao Jing shook her head, and holding up the plants in her hand, she explained, "These are just some seasonings we’ll need later."

Cooking without spices is soulless.

But in this place, there were no spices to speak of, not even salt, so she had to make do with these plants to concoct something.

"I see."

George nodded in understanding, and then curiously asked, "So, Master, what exactly are we going to eat?"

"You’ll know in a little while, today Master will treat you to a feast!"

Qiao Jing said mysteriously before turning and heading toward the woods on the left.

On the way, she casually picked up a sharp-pointed stick.

On her way to find George earlier, she had passed through this forest and incidentally noticed the presence of wild rabbits.

Therefore, she had decided to hunt a couple of wild rabbits to improve their meal!

Full of curiosity, George followed closely behind Qiao Jing.

After about ten minutes of walking through the woods, before he could even grasp what was happening, he saw his master throw the stick she had picked up, "whooshing" it through the air.
