Chapter 20 Harvesting Wheat

"Well, this tastes weird!" said Aunt Cecil, the first to drink, "Jiayi, you cooked it right?"

"No problem, this is herbal tea, which is specially used to relieve heat. The weather is too hot, and drinking this is good for the body. As for the taste, it is made of herbs, but it is made of non-toxic herbs, and you can drink it casually."

Jiayi didn't know how to explain food-grade or side effects, so he directly replaced it with no poison.

"These are all matched by the teacher, so there is definitely no problem. If there is sugar, it will be much better! I also added salt to it to replenish the body's electrolytes."

"I still want to add sugar? This is something that only nobles can afford, so you can think about it." Aunt Cecil said, "Also, what is an electrolytic? There is still electricity in the body?"

"Uh, it's just salt that comes from sweating." Jiayi explained, accidentally bringing out the nouns from his previous life.

"Okay, let's do it, let's start working." Uncle Cecil next to him reminded his wife when he saw that it was almost done.

After saying that, everyone was ready to go to the ground to harvest wheat.

When cutting wheat, you will wear long-sleeved skin because wheat turtles and wheat leaves will cut people's skin. If you wear short-sleeved sleeves, you won't be cut blood marks on your arms for a long time, and it will feel itchy.

There are only two sickles in Jia's family, which are usually hidden under the bed and are not taken out. At this time, there were still very few iron tools. Several families in the village did not have a sickle. Usually, they had to borrow other people's sickles to harvest wheat.

Today, there are so many people who are harvesting wheat at home. Jia asked Yao Lao to borrow two sickles to make it enough. Although Yao did not have a farming land in his hometown, there are still some farm tools, which seemed to have been planted before.

The adults quickly harvested the wheat. The pieces of wheat were cut off and collected and placed next to it. Jiayi and Donna also went to the ground to pick up the remaining wheat ears.

Although I always like to talk about golden wheat ears, Jiayi knows that wheat is actually brown-red. However, although the wheat I see now looks quite similar to what I saw in my previous life, the wheat ears seem to be longer, and the wheat is really golden, similar to the color of rice, and the grains are also full.

The harvest of this wheat field looked good. He remembered that in ancient times, the crops on Earth could only harvest more than 200 kilograms per acre, and it was still a good harvest. Looking at the wheat ears, although he could not estimate how much harvest acre of land was, it was definitely more than 200 kilograms.

Looking at the wheat ears in his hand, Jiayi peeled a few grains of wheat and put them in the palm of his hand. Seeing these plump grains, he was a little doubtful if he brought some genetically modified wheat when he traveled through time. It was really that these grains were too full and larger than those on the earth.

In the past, he did not notice the difference between the wheat he ate, so he regarded her as the same as the wheat on earth. Until now, he discovered that the difference between these wheat is no wonder that Kimura could make a living in this remote forest.

Although I have never seen what wheat in the feudal era looks like on Earth, I can definitely not compare with this with my toes. Otherwise, there would not be so many peasant uprisings.

Jiayi put the peeled wheat grains into his mouth and chewed them slowly. Because the wheat grains are still fresh and not dried, it is not difficult to chew. They are not very hard, and they are a little tough. After careful taste, they seem to feel the sweetness. This is not only a look, but also a pretty good taste. I have never discovered it before, and I don’t know if it is because of the dry wheat or the craftsmanship of Erica.

If these seeds were brought back to the earth to plant, they would probably be able to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou based on these wheat seeds. What a pity...

It was noon soon, and the sun was already very strong, and everyone went to rest under the shade of trees by the field. At this time, no one thought Jiayi's herbal tea tasted strange, and they all poured it into their stomachs with a big bowl of "gudonggudong".

"Jiayi, your herbal tea is really good to drink when it is hot. Next time I harvest wheat, you can cook some for my house," Uncle Wood said after drinking a bowl of herbal tea.

Aunt Cecil next to me heard this and said, "I want it too, Jiayi, I will cook some for my house next time."

"This is very simple. Let the teacher prepare medicine for you. You can just boil it in the pot when you go back. There is no other trick, just cook it directly." Jiayi said while sitting on the protruding roots of a section under the tree, holding a bowl of herbal tea.

At this time, even Donna, who was not interested in this cold, drank a small bowl.

When others are pursuing something, they will unconsciously think it is a good thing, so they rush up.

Although I did not harvest wheat by myself, the two children still had red marks on the body of the wheat. They were young and their skin lacked toughness. They were so tender that they exuded a hydrating luster from the inside out...

Seeing that the weather was really hot, Erica said to Donna: "Nana, go home with your brother, and then boil some water. This herbal tea is almost finished."

"Okay, mom!" After hearing Erica's words, Donna nodded and said. After saying that, she asked Jiayi to go home.

................

When he got home, Donna went to fetch water and boil it. At first, Jia checked what materials there were at home and what to do to make at night.

There is also a little bacon at home, a fish I caught last night, and some other vegetables, but there is actually nothing to choose from. It is already very good to have meat.

I remember when I was a child, I heard a song from a grandmother next door (the father is of the same generation but older, and my aunt is almost the same) who roughly means that in the first lunar month, the guests come and add more salt to cook. When the guests leave, add some water and a little more.

Of course this is just a joke. Jia Yi was not so poor when he was a child. But it also shows that he was so poor that he was reluctant to eat meat. Jia's family had to thank him for lighting up his fishing skills to make his life better.

After going to the field with Donna, I went to the field to deliver water. After staying for a while, it was getting late, so I went home with Donna to prepare for cooking. Due to the limited conditions, I couldn't come up with any tricks. I didn't want anything.

"I still have to find a way to make money!" Jia Yi thought silently. As a time traveler, it is too low to be able to fish every day.

In the evening, the adults came back after harvesting the wheat, sat down and drank the ale made from Gary, and talked about the harvest this year. When they saw the fish from the Jia family, everyone was surprised, and after tasting it, they all praised it.

In this era of hard work and full meals, it is really rare to have a meat that tastes decent.
