Chapter 10 Resurrection of the Tip of the Tongue
It was another good weather. Yunyao brought a large pot full of water and put the fish in the pot. Since he wanted to give gifts, he naturally had to give him a living. It took a lot of time to walk from the river bank to the foot of the mountain, so he stopped working today.
The closer they get to the mountains and forests, the more small animals there are. These small animals don’t know what kind of civilization their descendants will face, and how delicious their descendants will become. At this time, they are carefree and worried about the weeds on the roadside, not afraid of people at all.
You can already see the house of Shanren, and the style is very simple. Yun Yao knows that this Shanren sometimes goes to the fief to exchange for some food, and Shuzai and the others have traded with him.
The exterior walls of the house are decorated with feathers of various colors and tied with thin wire ropes. They must be tributes offered, some unknown jerky meat is also drying, and some bones are piled up in the corner of the wall.
The house was protected by a bamboo fence. There were two large mulberry trees planted in the yard, and there were a few willow trees beside the stream outside the fence.
"Is anyone?" Yunyao asked loudly in her good voice standing outside the fence.
After a while, a sound came from the room, the door opened, and a petite woman in animal skin walked out, presumably Shanren's wife.
The woman looked at Yunyao with some strangeness, unable to see the origin of the guest, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Is the mountain man at home? I am the daughter of the Zhu family. I heard that the mountain man is very skilled in archery, so I came to learn and ask for advice." Yun Yao said politely.
"I don't know if it's a noble girl coming, please come in." Hearing that he was the daughter of the Zhu family, the woman also knew that she was a baron, the only nobleman in this world.
"Is you Shanren's wife? What's the name?"
"That's right, my name is Ji Jiang." Corresponding to Yun Yao's name, her surname is Jiang, but Ji must not be her name, but she took Shanren's surname, which is the way to naming a married daughter.
For example, Yunyao's mother was called Zhu Jiang during her lifetime, and also had the surname Jiang, and then she took her father's clan as her name. Because the Shanren was not a nobleman and had no clan, she took her surname.
Having a surname also means being a Chinese citizen. Generally, savages have no names at all, only a code name.
"Hello Aunt Jiang." Yunyao immediately said hello obediently.
"Please come in quickly." Ji Jiang was about 30 years old, with a little weak body and a little tired expression, but her eyes were kind, so she must be a virtuous person.
When he was introduced into the hall, Yun Yao looked at it roughly.
The house is not big, but it is well organized. There is a bamboo plaque for raising silkworms in the hall, covered with mulberry leaves. It seems that I want to prepare to raise spring silkworms.
These things are also found in the Yunyao family, and they are all left by Yunyao's mother. No one has used them after she passed away. Logically, Yunyao should raise silkworms as a woman, but as a baron, no one insisted on her making a choice, so she never raised silkworms. Before traveling through time, Yunyao really didn't know that the history of silkworms raised by the Central Plains could be extended to before the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"She, he has entered the mountain and will not come back after the afternoon. You can wait for him. If there is any other matter, you can leave a message to me. I will tell him." Ji Jiang said gently. She took a futon made of thatch and asked Yunyao to sit on it, but in fact she was kneeling.
"Let's wait for him." Yunyao said: "There is a black fish here as a gift, please accept it."
"No, my husband has a weird temper. If I accept the gift without authorization, he will be angry." "Niude girl, husband may not agree to teach you archery skills. He often says that his archery skills will be lost, because although his archery skills are powerful, they also have high requirements for practitioners. If the strength is not enough, he can't even pull the bow." No wonder Ji Jiang would doubt it. After all, Yun Yao is as white as fat, not like a strong person, but he has to learn archery skills, and is afraid he will suffer.
"If you can't learn it, you have to tell me personally, so that I can be content." Yunyao must learn it, not only to learn archery, but also to learn driving in the future, because the two skills of shooting and harshness are essential skills for men to compete for strength and competitiveness. Only by practicing these two skills to the point of being superb can you scare the man away.
Ji Jiang smiled bitterly, and thought that Yunyao was cute, thinking that she had to persuade her husband to teach Yunyao one move and half a move.
Yunyao came alone. Ji Jiang remembered Yunyao's life experience and knew that she was an orphan, so she couldn't help but feel pity: "Girl, take a break, I'll pick some berries."
Yunyao originally wanted to say there was no need to worry, but she knew that the other party would definitely insist on picking it. After all, there were guests but they didn’t prepare to order the reception items, so she said, “I’ll go with you, I’ll do nothing even if I sit here alone.”
Ji Jiang felt that Yunyao was lively and cute, full of girlishness, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Picking berries is not a play, so it's better not to go there."
But Yunyao had already stood up and said, "Go together, go together."
Ji Jiang had no choice but to take Yunyao to pick berries. Although it was only winter, many berries had grown in the mountains. Ji Jiang carried a small pottery jar and took Yunyao into the mountain to pick the fruits.
This is the first time that Yunyao has entered the mountain. The mountain road is difficult to walk, but the undeveloped forests are indeed rich in products, including trees, bamboo, and bamboo shoots. Unfortunately, even salt is rare these days, and food cannot be developed. Although bamboo shoots can be eaten, Yunyao is not a panda and can eat bamboo shoots alone.
Unfortunately, if the seasoning is a little richer, the ingredients in the mountains can become delicious food on the taste buds.
So let’s eat berries, at least these foods have flavors, unlike bamboo shoots that require seasoning.
While picking, Ji Jiang taught Yunyao how to distinguish berries. Yunyao was greedy and picked them directly and sent them to her mouth. She took them into the mountain by the wife of the mountain. This is not an illegal act. When will she not eat them at this time?
Yunyao wanted to cry, but it turned out that his tongue was useful and could taste the ups and downs. When the fresh taste of berries danced on his tongue, Yunyao, who was used to the tasteless and tasteless rice, really felt a sense of resurrection, and the world suddenly became more exciting.
"Soy and sweet, delicious." Yunyao smiled sincerely.
"Overyone is not used to eating these berries. If you think they are delicious, eat more." Ji Jiang also knew that outsiders could not eat these things. Some people even think that the berries tasted too strange. However, Yunyao was obviously not an ordinary person. Her tongue was tested for a long time before traveling through time. As a fat person, it is necessary to be able to eat and eat. Yunyao can say that before traveling through time, she was also a gourmet and could eat and cook. Her relatives and friends around her said that she had good cooking skills. Unfortunately, now she is hard to cook without rice. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, eating salt is a luxury, let alone cooking delicious food.
