Chapter 55: First Generation Genes
Gu Zheng sat aside basking in the sun while He Jing continued to watch the tablet.
Half an hour in advance, the two came down from upstairs. He Jing took out the last bit of tea leaves, found a few crystal cups and prepared them, and waited in the living room.
"Uncle Xu, can we set up a table in the courtyard garden?" He Jing suddenly asked.
"Of course, right away!"
Uncle Xu was extremely efficient and finished it in just ten minutes. He Jing went over to take a look and found it was even more suitable than he had imagined!
"This was prepared by Madam. After Madam returned to Central Star, the table was put away."
Xu Bo explained, "These were all designed by Madam herself. They are truly works of art!"
He Jing nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the table and chairs, unable to move away.
Crystals and vines are laid out in an interlaced pattern, sparkling in the sun.
Each piece of crystal is carved into a different flower, sparkling brightly!
The doorbell rang and several people went to greet it.
Jiang Wenqing is wearing a khaki trench coat today with an ankle-length skirt underneath, looking intellectual and gentle.
Zhou Bai changed into a pair of frameless thin-rimmed glasses, his hair looked like it had been combed, and he was wearing a casual suit, looking gentle and humble.
It's completely different from working.
Gu Zheng's gaze paused on Zhou Bai's hair, then he turned away as if nothing had happened and greeted Jiang Wenqing.
"welcome."
He Jing also followed behind and greeted them obediently, which made the two people at the door so cute!
Zhou Bai's eyes were filled with amazement, unable to hide it.
Jiang Wenqing handed the flowers in her hand to He Jing, and handed another bag of snacks to Gu Zheng. "Mature purple and white gladiolus, Gu Zheng said you like it."
He Jing quickly caught it, touched and sniffed it carefully, "So beautiful!"
"Well~ I wish you good luck, success in everything, and continuous advancement!"
Zhou Bai came back to his senses and handed the book back. "This is a first-generation cosmic encyclopedia. It contains many first-generation planets that can be connected to virtual simulations for deployment. I hope you like it."
He Jing took it and thanked him sincerely with bright eyes.
The four of them sat down in the living room. Xu Bo asked with a smile, "Would you two like to stay here or go to the courtyard garden? The Madam's favorite table is set out today."
Jiang Wenqing said, "Let's go to the garden? I can't forget that table."
Uncle Xu continued, "What would you like to drink? Water, juice, soda, coffee, or the tea that the young lady prepared?"
They both chose tea in unison.
Gu Zheng stood up and led everyone over.
Jiang Wenqing had never heard of tea, so Gu Zheng gave her a brief explanation.
“The taste is unique, you will love it.”
"I discovered it by accident, and she cooked it for me..."
…
He Jing came to the kitchen and was about to start the fire when Xu Bo took out a small portable stove from somewhere.
"Use this to brew in the garden. The aroma of the tea leaves is not to be missed!"
He Jing nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of smiles, and gave Xu Bo a thumbs up!
The two moved the things to the garden. Gu Zheng lit the fire, and He Jing put the small porcelain pot in place, added water and tea leaves, and slowly boiled it.
Sunshine, garden, beauty, brewing tea, everyone was silent, just watching quietly.
The fragrance of tea slowly overflowed, lingering around.
There was a flash of surprise in Jiang Wenqing's eyes. This fragrance was indeed different.
The white porcelain is pure, and the colors of the tea leaves and tea soup are clearly visible.
The tiny leaves began to tumble and the water began to boil.
A refreshing fragrance wafts over.
He Jing took the prepared white porcelain cups and carefully divided them into five cups.
Hold it gently in your hands and place it in front of them.
Uncle Xu was holding the cup with tears in his eyes.
Of course, electronic tears are still tears~
Jiang Wenqing and Zhou Bai were both looking forward to it. What kind of taste could make General Gu show off so secretly?
They both took a sip from their cups, "Hmm?"
He seemed unsure and took another sip, "Not bad!"
Jiang Wenqing asked, "Did you find this at the training ground?"
"Yeah! We love to drink this in our hometown~" The kitten nodded.
"It's really good, different from all the drinks on the market, mellow, sweet and refreshing!"
Zhou Bai also praised her repeatedly, and then caught her words, "Your hometown?"
He Jing glanced at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng patted her head lightly. "Zhou Bai took a genetic lineage research course in college. He knows a lot about ancient genes and might be able to find your hometown."
"Well... Earth, a blue planet, very similar to here, but not as technologically advanced."
Zhou Bai frowned slightly and searched in his mind. There were very few planets with ancient genes now. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Sorry..."
"Ah...it's okay." A hint of disappointment flashed in He Jing's eyes.
Gu Zheng took out the snacks that Jiang Wenqing brought and picked out a small dried fish. "New flavor, want to try it?"
"Yeah, try it? Guess what flavor it is this time~" Jiang Wenqing naturally continued, raising her hand and gently rubbing the kitten's face, "You will be returning to Central Star later, so just send me a message if you want to eat anything~"
"Okay~Thank you, Auntie~"
He Jing took a bite of the dried fish, "Hmm? This is..."
Then he looked up in surprise: "The scent of dried roses?"
"Yes! How is it? Is it delicious?"
"tasty!!"
Jiang Wenqing and He Jing were chatting animatedly, while Gu Zheng and Zhou Bai sat aside and drank tea quietly.
The tea in He Jing's cup was gone, so Gu Zheng naturally took it and filled it up. When he finished the snacks in his hand, he naturally handed him a new one.
He Jing pursed his lips and handed the water over. He raised his hand and the paper was handed to him.
The two of them passed the ball to each other very naturally, and no one noticed anything wrong.
Zhou Bai watched quietly, the tea he sipped tasted bitter.
The sky was clear, a few thin clouds on the horizon were dyed red, and the sun began to set.
He Jing and Jiang Wenqing went to the sun room upstairs again, while Gu Zheng and Zhou Bai sat in the living room and talked about business.
The latest research results, the research progress of various projects, some suggestions, and finally the inspection results of Hejing were discussed.
"We still haven't found a matching source for that section of her gene. If we extrapolate back further, it's the first generation of genes. Currently, there are almost no people with first generation genes, so it's difficult to verify."
Gu Zheng nodded, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"The gene's response is very poor, or even non-existent. So far, we haven't seen any risk, and further research is needed."
After dinner, He Jing watched a documentary in the living room, and the three of them went to the study.
After a while, Zhou Bai came down first.
"I heard from General Gu that you've been learning the federal language recently?"
"Yeah, we can communicate now~" He Jing said as he turned off the converter and chatted briefly with Zhou Bai.
"Very good, very standard pronunciation, and great talent for languages!" Zhou Bai praised with a smile in his eyes and a gentle tone.
He Jing chuckled and accepted his compliment.
"Do you plan to continue going to school?"
"Yeah! Gu Zheng said I can take the internal referral exam."
"Well, have you decided on a major?"
"No, Gu Zheng said he would decide after I finish learning calligraphy."
"It's almost time. Do you want to continue studying tea in the future?"
"Yeah!" He Jing nodded, nervous but determined. "It's really good, don't you think?"
"That's great indeed. You can choose a traditional department, such as agronomy, botany, or genetic research."
He Jing listened carefully and nodded seriously, "Thank you, Zhou Bai. I will think about it carefully."
"You're welcome. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions."
