"First, we need to break the seeds out of hibernation. The typical pretreatment is to soak them in water," Mai Dong instructed. "Therefore, Tang Yue, you need to get enough water to soak all ten tomato seeds."
Tang Yue used a beaker and retrieved 200 milliliters of water. Then, he placed it above a burner tripod, placed an electric heater beneath it, and turned on the power.
Tang Yue and Tomcat sat by the side of the table and watched the heating element turn red.
"It feels as if I'm doing chemistry experiments back in university again." Tang Yue held a thermometer as he held his chin above the table. His eyes stared at the water in the beaker. "That was the worst class of my life… I toppled an alcohol burner during a chemistry lab, and burnt the hair of a female classmate sitting at my bench."
"And then?" Tomcat also leaned its chin above the table, its ears drooping down.
