Livestreaming Grandma Pickling Sauerkraut Sparks an Academic Controversy

Give Auntie one chance to pickle some cabbage, and she'll leave agricultural science students speechless and make professors from top universities weep.

Give her a vat of brine, and she'll get Nature to run a story about the Northeast.

It's not that agricultural experts' salaries are unaffordable. Promoting Auntie straight to a PhD is simply better value for money.

One day, Su Yang helps Auntie post a video online asking netizens for advice:

The pickled cabbage she made has somehow sprouted green leaves.

The video goes viral, infuriating a whole crowd of master's and doctoral students. Someone tells Auntie that this isn't pickled cabbage at all, but soilless cultivation in highly saline-alkaline soil!

An agricultural science expert comments: "A lifetime of research in the lab has yielded nothing but a clumsy imitation of Auntie's spontaneous work."

And Su Yang, the real mastermind behind it all, is about to usher in an agricultural revolution that will turn oceans into fields, opening a brand-new chapter for humanity.
