Chapter 21 Going to the Market
It took two days to harvest the wheat at home, and after two days of drying it, I then beat it in a square wooden box to take out the wheat grains. The wooden box is about 3 meters square and 6,70 cm tall. People stood outside, smashed the wheat on the inner wall of the box, and threw the wheat grains out.
After the wheat is undrafted, it will be initially raised. Now you can let half of your heart be relieved. As long as it rains for a long time, there will be no problem. The rest is to let the sun completely dry the wheat, and completely raise the ashes when there is wind, separate the debris and other things from the wheat, and then store them.
Well, I have to wait for the lord’s housekeeper to bring people to collect taxes. Every time I think of this, I feel heartbroken. I have to collect at least half of the tax on this little food.
Ignoring the tax issue first, Jiayi looked at the golden wheat on the ground at the doorstep, looking forward to the next series of delicious dishes such as buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks, bread, cakes, etc. It seemed that he already had yeast and cream, and completely forgot that he didn't even have eggs. He really thought a little too much...
Donna was doing housework at home, and her parents went to Aunt Cecil's house to help, and Jiayi also prepared herbal tea for them. Although the taste of the other version of herbal tea is indeed strange and there is no sugar yet, I don't know if it is herbs or the old medicine skills, or the psychological effects of people, it seems that the effect is good. Several families who have drunk herbal tea are preparing some cooling off when they go to the ground.
Unfortunately, herbal tea can’t be sold for much money. To be precise, the medicine has confiscated the money at all, only a little bacon or a small pot of wheat.
Many birds often come to eat the wheat that is dry on the ground. Jiayi always wants to learn from Runtu to improve the food. Unfortunately, there is no big plaque at home, so it is not easy to ask his father Gary to make a similar one. He has never had the chance to achieve it, so he can only drive all the birds away.
I have been studying with Lao Yao for several months. Due to memory and mature thinking logic, my learning progress has greatly exceeded Lao Yao’s estimate. Lao Yao has already promised him to take him with me next time I go to the market.
It is not far from Yao Lao's next time to go to the market. If the weather is good, it should be after the wheat is dried. I don't know which one should be expected of the market or bread. He has been weaving the sieve for sifting flour in the past two days. He uses disassembled twine and twisted it into the sieve surface carefully. In fact, it is not perfect to use disassembled twine. The sieve surface of the barbed wire mesh probably has no chance to be realized. At present, the best one should be weaving with a ponytail. Unfortunately, there is not even a donkey.
......
In another month, the moon turned blood red (the moon turned red in another world). When Jia got up, the moon was already hanging in the sky. It seemed that he hadn't wanted to set aside yet, but the sky was indeed dark. He quickly cleaned up and went to Yao's hometown to knock on the door. Today, Yao Lao wanted to take him to the market in the town.
Speaking of which, for carbon-based life, the sun is theoretically necessary, because carbon-based creatures need to obtain energy from the sun. But the moon does not seem to be necessary. Although there is no moon, it will lead to a series of problems such as no tides, and this other world actually has a moon, so I don’t know if there is any necessary connection with the earth.
If there is no moon, I don’t know if the girl in this world has dym. Although there is no research to show that the woman’s aunt D is related to the moon phase, the two cycles are almost the same, which is actually very telling.
Of course, Jiayi didn't go into this issue, and this seemed a bit obscene.
When I arrived at Yao’s hometown, Yao Lao had already packed up. A large backpack contained some prepared medicinal materials for sale. The surface was covered with a piece of burlap and several branches were pressed. The oil lamps at home emitted a faint light. Jia’s family also had oil lamps, but they had almost never used them. In order to save fuel, they all slept at sunrise and had no nightlife!
Well, at least Jiayi doesn’t!
Yao Lao blew out the oil lamp and greeted Jiayi on the road. It was not dawn yet, and the road was not easy to walk. Fortunately, Jiayi is young now and has no myopia yet, so he can see the road clearly.
It’s better to be reborn. Myopia rhinitis in my previous life has gone away. The whole world is much clearer. Jiayi’s previous life was nearly 300 degrees of myopia, but he didn’t like to wear glasses. Except for using a computer and watching TV, he didn’t like to wear glasses at other times.
So when he was on the road, Jiayi didn't take the initiative to say hello. He could only see a person clearly, but he couldn't tell who it was or whether he knew it or not. If the other party did not take the initiative to say hello, only when the two approached Jiayi, he could only see who it was and then say hello.
I remember one time in college, Jiayi came out of the cafeteria and saw that the counselor seemed to be standing downstairs across the road. He squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, and then walked over like this, but he didn't dare to recognize him...
Duomu Village is not an important place, so it is natural that there is no road connected to the town. The road that Jiayi and the others walked was stepped on by villagers when they went to the town. Just like Zhou Xun (Lu Xun's surname is Zhou, so he was called Zhou Xun) said: There are no roads in the world, and if there are more people walking, it becomes a road. (I guess Zhou Xun didn't consider roads or railways when he said this!) Because there are many people walking, this road is relatively safe, of course, the one that is just memorized does not count.
After leaving for about an hour, Yao Lao said to Jiayi: "Jiayi, are you tired? Go to the stone over there and sit and rest."
The two walked to a big rock and sat down. Yao Lao took out two pieces of black bread and water from the backpack and handed one to Jiayi: "If you are hungry, eat some bread first."
Jiayi was indeed hungry, and the last meal was the supper last night. He took the piece of bread that was said to be similar to dead bread, pulled it down with his teeth, drank another sip of water, chewed it in the mix and swallowed it.
"Teacher, you should tell me to prepare the food." Jia Yi ate it for two bites and couldn't help but say to Yao Lao.
"What? You are not satisfied with eating noodles! But indeed, it is not as good as the meal you cook. I will prepare it next time."
Jiayi didn't remember that he had to walk for three or four hours on the way and could not rush on the road hungry. When he was young in his previous life, he went to the streets with his father and went to the streets for breakfast. But that was only about 10 miles at most.
After breakfast and a little rest, the two of them set off again. At this time, the sun had already come out. Jiayi was full of energy again. Although he was still young, he was well developed and the children were always energetic. When he was climbing the mountain in his previous life, he was almost down and he still had the energy to play with the naughty children who came with his parents.
After walking for about three hours, he was actually not sure. Anyway, the sun was not yet noon, and it seemed to be in the east. They finally arrived outside the town.
The town doesn't look big. It is surrounded by wood and thorns outside. The end of the wall can be seen on both sides. At the gate of the town, you can see other people coming to the market. There are also people driving ox carts. He stared at the ox carts and almost drooled.
After all, he is still young, and it is really exhausted to him after rushing through a few hours.
