Chapter 53 - The Talent of Being a Teacher
Guan Yu saw his serious expression, he didn't ask anymore and immediately did what Yue Qianchou said.
A moment later, several flowers bloomed before the people.
Before the flowers progressed to wither, Yue Qianchou quickly plucked a flower of the previous plant and immediately brought it closer to the growing flower face to face. The flower's stamens came in close contact with the other's pistil, he did it again and again.
Guan Yu didn't understand what he was doing. Chen Feng stopped his work. Even the White Fox stared seriously at Yue Qianchou. The three people were curious as they gazed the plant in front of him.
Yue Qianchou suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it should be like this."
The three people saw an unexpected thing happened. The flower that had been dying unexpectedly didn't immediately wither. Instead, the central part began to grow and a fruit gradually formed, the petals on the side collapsed.
After being done by Yue Qianchou, the plant didn't wither, and the withering process turned into the bearing of fruit.
The three people on the side stared at Yue Qianchou with an unbelievable expression. Guan Yu exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
The problem that had been bothering him finally solved, Guan Yu was so excited he couldn't believe it, even the White Fox was unable to give him the answer, now his boss Yue had actually easily solved it.
The graceful figure of the White Fox flashed toward the plant that just bore fruit, the slender hand plucked the fruit and the nail pinched it, inside could be seen a few dark grains of seeds. She brought the fruit closer to her nose and sniffed it, a surprised expression appeared on the face.
Chen Feng's eyes that were originally full of resentment now stared at Yue Qianchou as if in admiration.
In fact, for Yue Qianchou, this was just a common sense problem in the past life. Because the flowers in this space never got pollinated by the insects and bees. These plants naturally could only bloom with pollinating and of course, they couldn't produce seeds without this process.
Placing it in the past life, this problem could even be solved by elementary school students. Now, it was a bit shocking to Yue Qianchou. Seeing that the three people stared at him with eyes vaguely showed some little stars of worship. Yue Qianchou was feeling proud and embarrassed, he grinned, "Don't admire Brother that much, Brother is just a wise man."
"Stop pretending! Say, what the hell is going on?" Said the White Fox, the fruit was still held in her palm.
Yue Qianchou smiled, he rubbed his nose and said, "Big Sister! This is a long story. It involves botany and biology. It is really a complicated knowledge, I'm afraid you won't understand it."
After speaking that, the thirsty look in the three people's eyes turned into confusion. Yue Qianchou said slowly, "It will be too complicated for you to understand it, I'll just explain a bit first. Heaven and Earth are divided into Yin and Yang, like there are the sun in the sky and the same moon. The light of time and the darkness of space. Everything on this earth is also divided into Yin and Yang, which is what we also call as male and female. Uh... I have made it as simple as I could, I don't know if it was too complicated, can you guys understand it?"
The three people nodded in unison and motioned him to continue.
"That's good, then I will continue to explain it, listen carefully." Yue Qianchou made a light cough with a fist in front of his mouth, then he continued, "Everything is born of Yin and Yang, you should easily understand whether it is people, pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, and other living things are divided into male and female. A man alone cannot bear a child, it's also the same for a woman, she there is a need of unification of a man and a woman, that is, the unification of Yin and Yang. The same is true of animals that walk on two feet or on four feet, I classify these living animals into zoology. zoology is a higher level of biology, biology refers to all living beings between heaven and earth, these living beings also contain plants, the so-called plants are what I want to talk about are classified in botany. The amount of... I ask again, can you guys follow me?"
The three people nodded again. Although there was a little doubt in the minds of these people, the sophisticated words and the seriousness of Yue Qianchou eliminated that, the learning atmosphere was very strong.
Yue Qianchou was very satisfied with this situation. The fake role model said again, "What are plants? Flowers and trees that produce fruits and vegetables we usually eat belong to the category of plants, including the three of you now planting, they can naturally grow. Of course, this involves in a more advanced nature science, you won't understand it so I won't say. These plants are also living things, so they are classified in biology. Don't underestimate these plants, they are the same as animals in zoology. As I have mentioned earlier, there are also male and female and the need for unification. Guan Yu, you asked me why these plants didn't bear seeds, I will give you a detailed answer. Uh... I've gotten very thirsty, is there a water to drink here?"
"Yes!" Replied Chen Feng, then he grabbed a spoonful of water from the bucket.[1] He respectfully offered it to Yue Qianchou, although a bit of resentment could still be seen from him.
Yue Qianchou handed the spoon back to him after drinking the water and said, "Thank You." He continued, "Why did your planted flowers didn't bear any seed? Look here..." Yue Qianchou pointed to a plant full of flowers, he said, "There are a lot of flowers on them. They all look the same. Yes, although they all look the same, actually, these flowers also have the distinction of Yin and Yang. If they want to produce seeds, they will be like people. It is also necessary to unify Yin and Yang. However, they can't unify in the same way as men and women. Therefore, it is necessary to use the help of external forces. As I have just done earlier, is one of the means to help them unify."
When he heard this, Guan Yu uttered his doubt, "Is it? The flowers and plants in the outside world don't have people to unify them. How could they still bear the seeds?" Chen Feng and the White Fox also looked at him doubtfully, apparently agreeing with Guan Yu.
"Your question is very good, it involves the entomology in zoology." Said Yue Qianchou praising him, he continued, "The flowers in the wilderness of course without the help of people for the unification, it is by other animals, they are insects. What are insects? You should all have seen insects such as butterflies and bees right? If you observe closely, you will find that insects such as bees are attracted to all kinds of blooming flowers, when they made a contact with a flower, they are contaminated with the pollen of its flower, and when the moved and made a contact with another flower, they have become the medium those flowers' unification. So those plants in the wilderness could also bear fruit and reproduce. If you don't believe me, I can bring some bees from the outside to breed here, then you'll know if I'm telling the truth."
After hearing his explanation, the three people realized that the habits of bees and butterflies they have seen were like that. Thinking about it, it really seemed to be the truth. Although the three people didn't express it, they have believed what he said was true.
Ai! I never thought that even with my noisy half bucket of water[2], I actually have the talent to be a teacher, such unexpected! Yue Qianchou suppressed his inner feeling of satisfaction not to leak out, he smiled lightly and said, "Since you have learned about the problem, I don't need to go on the more complicated matter, it's enough to end it here..."
