Half an hour later, Tongtong emerged with a packet of powder and whispered in Liu Yifeng's ear, "Dad, you just need to let the vegetables eat this, and everything will be fine."
Liu Yifeng cooperated fully, remaining silent and giving him an okay gesture to show he understood.
This finally put Liu Yifeng's mind at ease, and it seemed the vegetable yield would not be a problem either.
The next day, Liu Yifeng arrived at the vegetable shed very early. Since it wasn't yet working hours, Liu Chasheng was the only one there.
"Third Uncle, you're too early. There's no longer a problem. You can rest more at home and come later; it's not a big deal." Liu Yifeng knew Liu Chasheng was also worried about the shed, which was why he came so early.
He suspected Liu Chasheng hadn't had a good rest these past few days due to the shed's issues. Liu Yifeng felt that once things were mostly resolved, he should encourage his third uncle to get more rest.
"This situation with the shed also has some responsibility on my part. I should have patrolled more diligently. Alas, who knew such a problem would arise?"
Liu Yifeng could see Liu Chasheng looked dejected. "Third Uncle, what are you saying? This has nothing to do with anyone. It's due to the weather that this problem has occurred. However, I've already thought of a solution, so don't worry. When you water the plants, just put this in the water; perhaps it will be somewhat useful."
Liu Yifeng had initially intended to handle this matter secretly. But now, seeing how worried Liu Chasheng was, he felt it might be better to let him handle it, perhaps easing his mind.
"What is this?"
Liu Chasheng was very puzzled. He looked at the powder in his hand, his face full of surprise. They were growing organic vegetables, and now they were going to use medication? He still couldn't believe it.
"Don't overthink it. This is just minerals. Putting it in water will make the water more nutritious, and the vegetables will grow faster. Plus, it's been cloudy these past few days, so we can only irrigate the vegetables with this mineral-rich nutrient water."
Liu Yifeng explained it to Liu Chasheng. He seemed to understand, and the look of surprise on his face disappeared.
"You scared Third Uncle half to death! I thought you were getting impatient and were going to use pesticides."
Liu Yifeng just smiled at Liu Chasheng's words. It seemed his actions had genuinely startled him.
"Rest assured, Third Uncle, we specialize in organic vegetables. There will be no pesticides. If I did that now, wouldn't I be ruining my own reputation?"
Liu Chasheng nodded and smiled, appearing much more at ease.
After watching Liu Chasheng irrigate all the greenhouses, he finally left with peace of mind.
He hadn't seen Lu Fei all day yesterday, and he still didn't see him in the office today. Was this matter proving difficult to resolve?
Thinking this, Liu Yifeng became a little worried. Just as he was about to take out his phone to call him, he saw Lu Fei appear in the office.
"Is the matter difficult to handle?" Liu Yifeng trusted Lu Fei quite a bit, but with no news for two days, it did seem like a tricky situation.
Lu Fei nodded, then shook his head. "If you say it's difficult, it is. If you say it's easy, it's not exactly easy either."
Liu Yifeng frowned. "Can you speak plainly?"
"Here's the thing: we're not exactly experts in waterproofing, so I've asked several places. Each has its own method, and all their methods are different. That's why I'm having trouble making up my mind, so I thought I'd discuss it with you."
Lu Fei sat down beside Liu Yifeng, opened the document in his hand, and handed it to him.
"Look, these are the methods I've compiled that seem reliable. However, some are very troublesome, while the ones that aren't troublesome make me a bit uneasy."
It seemed the waterlogging issue had made Lu Fei very cautious. With too many options, he didn't know how to make a decision.
"As the leader of the marketing department, you actually have moments of indecision." Liu Yifeng said this to encourage him.
Lu Fei sighed. "If it's about the market transportation of vegetables, I'm confident. But with waterproofing, I'm truly not good at it."
"Looking at this, I think this method is quite good. Since we already have a system, they can send it to us for testing first. After testing, we can see where improvements are needed and then make modifications. Although it's a bit troublesome, our losses will be minimal."
Liu Yifeng looked at the document in his hand and found a decent method. The losses should be minimal with this approach.
"I'm also quite satisfied with this method. After all, we already have the waterproofing in place. If we were to dismantle and redo it, it would be even more troublesome and a cost issue. Moreover, it's under our vegetables, which would severely impact our yield."
Lu Fei felt that things should be discussed. After discussing it with Liu Yifeng, he instantly felt more confident.
"Alright, let's proceed with this method as you suggested. I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible." Liu Yifeng understood Lu Fei well; he likely already had an answer in his heart. Bringing it to him was just for final confirmation.
Lu Fei left with the documents, exuding confidence. Liu Yifeng smiled helplessly and shook his head.
In the afternoon, Liu Chasheng rushed to the office, looking very excited, which startled both Liu Yifeng and Lu Fei.
"Yifeng, hurry and take a look! The vegetables have become vibrant again. Come and see." Liu Chasheng said, breathing heavily, filled with joy. He had experienced something like this before with his crayfish.
But seeing it happen again beside him still filled him with surprise.
Liu Yifeng wasn't surprised; after all, it was Tongtong's revitalizing powder taking effect, which had made all the vegetables come back to life. His expression was calm, while Lu Fei appeared very astonished.
"Really? Let's go, quick!" Lu Fei hadn't known about this matter yet, so he was also very excited. He eagerly chatted with Liu Chasheng all the way.
They arrived at the vegetable shed and indeed saw the waterlogged vegetables standing tall again, even growing more vigorously than before. If someone told them they had been submerged in water, no one would believe it.
"Don't be too surprised. This has happened before. Because we intervened in time, those soaked vegetables merely had too much moisture. When we supplied them with the mineral nutrient solution, it naturally counteracted the water they were submerged in, and they came back to life."
