Chapter 346 Blue Jade
Qian's good appetite lasted until half a month later. Because she had been eating more and better recently, her thin cheeks and shoulders gradually became rounder, and her face became much rosier. She looked about ten years younger than before, and looked almost the same as Liu.
No, it shouldn't be said that she looks ten years younger. This is how she should look at her age. The reason she looked as old as an old woman before was because of her poor health.
Perhaps the effect of the medicine had worn off, or perhaps her body had recovered, she wasn't as easily hungry as before.
That night, she only ate one pancake and a bowl of batter.
Not only Old Zhou, but also Zhou Dalang and his brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Recently, I have been eating the food of three people by myself. The little boys can starve me to death, not to mention my appetite.
They were all very happy to see that she was finally returning to normal.
Because of Manbao's words, they all thought that it must be a god who made their mother's body completely healed, so naturally she no longer needed to eat more to provide calories for the body.
Old Zhou even asked Qian that night, "Is it really that good?"
Qian sighed, "That's great."
Old Zhou slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, tomorrow I'll go up the mountain with you to pay homage to the Heavenly Lord, and buy some meat to celebrate."
Qian did not refuse. At this time, they had to be grateful to Master Tianzun.
Old Zhou was very excited, his heart finally at ease. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to resist asking, "Is our Manbao really the reincarnation of a fairy?"
"That's what the Tianzun Master in my dream said, and that's what the Master of Shouqing Temple said as well."
"That's it. Then why don't you, Lord Tianzun, bless her parents?"
Qian was silent for a long time before she said, "That was a man-made disaster, an unexpected misfortune. Erlang is so smart and kind, do you think he could have a bad life? Master Tianzun doesn't have to do so many things. He can't always keep an eye on one or two people. This unexpected misfortune can come at any time..."
Old Zhou thought what she said made sense. "They say that a day in heaven equals a year on earth. You said Manbao had such a hard time in the past few years. Could it be that Lord Tianzun was very busy a few days ago and didn't have time to visit our Manbao? He remembered to visit us these past two days, so that's why our Manbao has been so lucky these past two years?"
Qian: "...Maybe."
Old Zhou smacked his lips, climbed up from the bed and said, "No, I have to kowtow to Master Tianzun so that he will remember to look at Manbao every day. Wouldn't Manbao be blessed with good fortune every year?"
Qian watched helplessly as he stood up, groped in the dark to light the oil lamp, then lit incense and kowtowed to the Lord Tianzun.
Qian had no choice but to get up and kowtow and make a wish with him.
Is there a God in this world?
Qian wasn't sure.
But if you ask her whether there are gods in this world, Qian will naturally say yes without hesitation!
Lord Tianzun may not be the god who helps them, but it is always right to be respectful to the gods.
The couple got up in the middle of the night to pray to the gods, while Manbao, who was separated by a wall, finally waited for the points to be collected by the bird with blue tail feathers.
Manbao hadn't slept yet and was studying medicine with Teacher Mo in the teaching room. When she heard a noise, she paused the class, exited and took a look, and then she saw that her score, which was only more than 30,000, suddenly had an extra zero.
Manbao was stunned, and Keke explained, "That tail feather comes from the entry for a blue bird called the Blue Emerald, also known as the Kingfisher, with a record score of 320,000."
Manbao exclaimed, "It's so expensive! Why is this bird so much more expensive than a tree sparrow? I think tree sparrows are tastier."
“Judging from the papers the institute has published so far, it’s worth the credit.”
Manbao thought thoughtfully, "If we can still catch it, can we sell it to Dr. D? We don't want 300,000, just 210,000 will be fine."
Just as she finished speaking, her mailbox rang. Dr. D, who had been missing for a long time, came online to contact her.
"I'm sorry. I went into the lab to do research after I got the target material, so I didn't see your email. I asked one of my graduate students to collect information about your previous question. According to the current literature, increasing winter wheat yields under original conditions requires improvements in all aspects..."
Manbao, who originally wanted to go back to class, was immediately cheered up after seeing this email. He put down the class in the classroom and read Dr. D's letter carefully.
It is better to say that it is a long written essay than a letter.
According to Dr. D, she assigned Manbao's question to a graduate student as homework, and the graduate student took a month to write the paper.
From the aspects of tillage, sowing, weeding, pest control, fertilization, etc., methods to increase wheat yield under original conditions are demonstrated.
The methods listed here try to restore historical data as much as possible, but Manbao can still see that there are many things written here that are not available in their Qili Village.
What Manbao paid most attention to was the improvements to agricultural tools.
Manbao took a long time to read one-third of the paper, which was the part about the improvement of agricultural tools, and then he stared at the drawing of the agricultural tools.
Koko reminded her, "Host, it's already been a quarter of an hour past your sleeping time. If you don't go to sleep now, there's a 25% chance that you'll be late tomorrow."
Manbao then lay down on the bed and asked, "Keke, can you print out the email for me? Put it on paper so I can read it outside."
Koko said, "Okay, do you want me to print all of it, or just the paper part?"
“Just print the paper part.”
Manbao replied thank you to Dr. D, then fell asleep contentedly hugging the quilt.
Although this year's winter wheat has been planted, there is still next year. The most important thing is that many of the methods of increasing yield written above are not only applicable to winter wheat, but also to other times.
Especially the methods of maintaining soil fertility.
Manbao has heard his father say more than once that one of the main reasons why winter wheat is not grown in the village is that the soil cannot bear the consumption of two crops a year.
The email just now contained a long section teaching them how to fertilize the soil.
However, it is a bit difficult for their family to use it all, but Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang's families should be able to use it, as both families are rich.
Especially Bai Erlang's family, they not only have money, but also land and people.
It would be best if we could convince him to give it a try first.
Because of this idea, Manbao still opened his eyes on time the next day and took the booklet printed by Keke.
Yes, the long paper was printed into a booklet, and it was not thin, with about sixty pages.
In order to achieve the effect of disguise, Koko also made a blue book cover for her that was very consistent with the characteristics of this era.
Of course, two extra points were also deducted from Manbao.
She is a wealthy woman now, and with the daily income from clicks, she no longer cares about the consumption of a few points.
She was very satisfied with being able to take out the book openly. With such a cover, even if she put it on the table during class, Mr. Zhuang would not think there was anything wrong.
