Chapter 185 Birthday
Jian Yue asked the shopkeeper to make many fine gadgets. He also made his own disinfectant and sealing film. Although it cannot be compared with modern sealing films, the air in ancient times was good and pollution-free, so there must not be any big problems.
Jian Yue started her busiest period of time. She spent the whole day running between Zhuangzi and Gejia Village with seven medicine boys, as well as Doctor Mao, Nanxing, and Yun Zhonghe.
Wheat, spring sorghum, and sugarcane all needed hybridization. A group of people wore straw hats and worked in the experimental fields with delicate tools all day. So much so that when it was Jian Yue's birthday, she didn't even think about it.
It's no wonder she didn't remember it. She had never celebrated her birthday in her life. So it was normal for her to not remember her birthday.
On the eighth day of April, Dr. Mao suddenly asked for a day off.
The wheat harvest was just over twenty days away. Looking at the crops that were maturing day by day, Jian Yue suddenly realized that three months had passed in the blink of an eye.
A major snowstorm affected most of Nanchang. Fortunately, Nanchang did not plant winter wheat, otherwise, it would have caused huge losses. But this snowstorm also affected this year's spring plowing. This year's spring plowing was delayed for more than a month, and because of the low temperature this spring, the emergence rate of crops was affected. In short, this year's harvest will be greatly reduced.
The winter wheat planted by Jian Yue was growing very well because it was well cared for during the snow disaster, had sufficient base fertilizer, and was fertilized again when it was flowering and filling.
She prepared an insecticide and designed the simplest hand-pressed sprayer. Because of this hand-pressed sprayer, the shopkeeper summoned all the core technical craftsmen in the shop and it took a month to make it.
It’s really not easy!
On the day when the sprayer was successfully manufactured, the department manager and the craftsmen involved were so excited that they burst into tears.
The crops in the experimental fields grew better. Instead of groping around without any clues, they just needed to replicate the hybridization process based on experience. Except for the unfamiliarity in the first few days, the assistants quickly became proficient. On the contrary, Dr. Mao and Yun Zhonghe only participated and did not actually do much work. But they were very interested in this unheard-of improvement technology. They followed and observed the whole process all day long. After the hybridization was successful, they also followed and observed the situation in the experimental fields every day.
Ji Yunzhong mobilized the secret guards to protect the manor with the experimental fields. A few secret guards also mixed into the patrol team in Gejia Village.
With the harvest approaching, Ji Yunzhong is more nervous than Jian Yue about the things in the test fields.
It feels like I haven't been back to Yue's house for a while. Jian Yue planned to wash up and have a good rest for a day. Unexpectedly, Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe both took out a gift.
Doctor Mao took out a hundred-year-old ginseng, and Yun Zhonghe was a unique copy of calligraphy.
"Happy birthday, girl!"
"Happy birthday, girl!"
"Happy birthday, girl!"
Jian Yue was stunned.
After being stunned for a while, she remembered that today was her birthday. She had long been accustomed to not celebrating her birthday. So, when several masters suddenly took out gifts, she was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the arrival of Ji Yunzhong and the department manager relieved her confusion. They also came to celebrate her birthday and brought gifts.
The gift from the store owner was a lifelike sculpture of a carp inlaid with gold and jade, which symbolized abundance every year.
Ji Yunzhong’s gift was a set of precious ruby headpieces.
The gifts from both of them were very expensive, especially Ji Yunzhong's, which Jian Yue didn't dare to accept.
Ji Yunzhong's explanation made Jian Yue unable to refuse: "What you are doing now will benefit the present and future generations. I thank you on behalf of the people of Nanchang. Don't just say one set of headgear, even if it's ten or twenty sets, you can bear it."
To be honest, Jian Yue felt that she would never need such an exquisite and expensive headpiece. She didn't like having her hair full of pearls and jade, which made her scalp ache. However, she couldn't refuse such a kind offer, so she accepted it.
The noble Fifth Prince personally gave her a gift, even if it was just a piece of wood, she would have to act happy. Moreover, it was such an expensive gift.
Jian Yue thanked him solemnly.
Not sure if it was her illusion, but Jian Yue felt that Ji Yunzhong seemed a little unhappy.
Chenxiang received Yun Zhonghe's instructions in advance and prepared several tables of sumptuous food and wine. So on this day, several tables were set up in Yue's house to celebrate Jian Yue's birthday.
In the evening, everyone sat under the melon rack, drinking herbal tea and enjoying the breeze.
The weather is getting hotter and it's a bit stuffy staying indoors.
Yun Zhonghe glanced at Jian Yue's face and said, "You have been plagued by villains recently, so be careful when you go out."
Yun Zhonghe felt that his physiognomy was not very good, so he did not often read Jian Yue's face. Especially since Jian Yue's face was not easy to read accurately. However, it was always right to remind him to be careful when going out.
Jian Yue agreed, said hello to a few people, and went back to her yard to rest.
After Jian Yue left, Ji Yunzhong asked Doctor Mao and the others, "What you have done has always been a secret. But with the harvest coming soon, I'm afraid we can't keep it a secret for long. I wonder what Yue girl's plan is? Will she report the winter wheat and hybrid technology through her father or through me?"
Reported by Yan Xiuyuan, this is Yan Xiuyuan's political achievement. Moreover, the person who made the contribution is his daughter, so most of the credit will fall on him.
To be honest, Ji Yunzhong looked down on Yan Xiuyuan and didn't want anyone to take away Jian Yue's credit. He deliberately avoided Jian Yue and told Doctor Mao about this matter, hoping that they would remind Jian Yue.
Yun Zhonghe said: "Yue girl has her own ideas, and we don't need to interfere."
Ji Yunzhong suddenly understood.
Kinship is the most difficult thing to choose, and it seems that Jian Yue has not made the final decision yet.
If Jian Yue still cared about her kinship before, after what happened on her birthday today, she had completely let it go.
The next day, Jian Yue took Fuyun, Chenxiang and Muxiang out to buy cloth.
I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to buy new summer clothes. From the master to the servants, everyone should buy new clothes. Therefore, Jian Yue asked Yuan Shi to drive the carriage and take the three of them out for a big shopping trip.
The carriage went straight to Fuyuan Cloth Shop.
At the entrance of Fuyuan Cloth Shop, a middle-aged man with a backpack on his back, looking exhausted, was asking for directions and looking for someone in a foreign accent.
"Excuse me, little brother, how do I get to the Divine Doctor's Mansion?"
The person being questioned looked him up and down, then turned and walked away.
The middle-aged man continued to ask: "Excuse me, old lady, how do I get to the mansion of the miracle doctor?"
Jian Yue's carriage happened to stop at this time. The middle-aged man asked Yuan Shi: "Excuse me, young man, do you know how to get to the Divine Doctor's Mansion?"
Yuan Shi looked at him warily and warned: "Female relatives are traveling, please do not approach."
The middle-aged man immediately stepped aside and said apologetically: "Sorry! I didn't know there were women in the car."
Jian Yue and the other three got out of the car and glanced at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man glanced at Jian Yue unintentionally, and suddenly he froze and blurted out: "Sister Zhen Zhen!"
He took two steps forward excitedly...
