Chapter 2 [A friend comes from afar]
The stream was gurgling, the fish were jumping around, and the grass was happy; she had a very good skill. She used sharp stone slices to cut the fish belly, took out the internal organs and fish roe, washed the fish and then slowly roasted it on the branches. Soon the fish body began to turn yellow and emitted a faint smell of fish meat.
You don’t need to remove the scales when grilled fish, so that the heat dissipation is more even and not zooming. When the fish is 70% cooked, shake it gently and scrape it with a few stones. The scales will fall off one after another, revealing the slightly yellow and crispy fish meat below.
Caoer looked at the color of the meat and evenly scattered the washed roe on the two fishes. The firepower quickly burned the roe. The temperature on the surface of the fish meat dropped slightly, which not only allowed the effect of civil and military affairs, but also added a layer of fresh fragrance brought by the roe. This is called fresh freshness, without extra seasoning, and it tastes natural. Compared with the drafting technique, modern barbecue BBq is weaker and should be classified as garbage dumps.
"Brother, the fish is grilled and you have big ones. If it is not enough, I will give this one to you too?"
The one I handed over was full of pride in Cao'er's eyes; every time she grilled fish, her brother would drool, and she would feel very satisfied if she didn't eat it.
"Eat together, otherwise I won't eat it either."
Bai Dong's laughter was rippling in the air, and he picked up the big one and stuffed it into Cao'er's mouth. What a good girl, beautiful and cute, grilled fish, and warmed the bed. But I don't know which bastard boy will be cheaper in the future. It makes people feel uncomfortable when I think about it. The more I think about it, the worse my mood is, and it even seriously affects my appetite. After eating most of a fish, I don't want to sip it. Bai Dong himself was surprised, why is he so sentimental today? Is it the reason why the two lives of memories are perfectly integrated? I don't think about it anymore, Cao'er is watching, and even in a bad mood, he has to eat his mother, turning resentment into food.
"Heianro, your mother told you to go home."
A young man in his early twenties ran from a distance, and was still a few meters away and shouted at the top of his throat: "What a delicious grilled fish, leave some for me."
"It's all eaten up, it's gone."
He raised his eyes to his childhood playmates and disturbed his sweet life and was unforgivable. Bai Dong said unhappily: "Sang Wazi, my mother said nothing was said?"
"Good thing, your guest is here, a faraway guest. I see your mother is so happy that she is laughing at the corners of her eyes." The young man ran over, grabbed the fish tail in Bai Dong's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering and unable to tell clearly: "Your family is afraid that they want to kill chickens, so I'll go to drink chicken soup, right?"
"Bah, your mother has the old patterns, and your family kills chickens. My family only has one chicken, which is used to lay eggs, so how can I kill them?"
He kicked this guy in the ass, and Bai Dong pulled Chucaoer and ran away. He was so anxious that he couldn't kill this chicken. Cao'er had to wait for the eggs every day...
As soon as I ran to the front of my house, the grass cried. Through the fence, I saw a piece of fur and bloodstains. My eggs, my flowers, whimper...
Huahua is the only hen in the family. After raising it for more than two years, most of the eggs contributed into Cao'er's stomach. Now it's all over. Cao'er is lying in Bai Dong's arms and crying heartbrokenly. I don't know if it was crying for this chicken or the egg that has been strangers since then.
Bai Dong raised his head and looked at the person sitting on the stone pier in the courtyard with dissatisfaction. He was holding the only intact pottery bowl at home, wearing a deep dress, a wooden crown on his head, and a bamboo hairpin was inserted horizontally. This outfit was incompatible with the villagers. The adult men in the village all had a headscarf. It was only when the ancients held the crown and the Qing soldiers entered the pass, but they still couldn't tell what kind of dynasty it was today.
This villain is very elegant, with a very melodious and pleasant voice, as if a bird was singing. When he heard something moving behind him, he turned his head and immediately stood up when he saw Bai Dong, bowing far away: "Zhishouzi Chu Tong, I have seen the little brother."
Is he a scholar? From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, different dynasties governed the people differently, but no matter who had been in the world, scholars had the right to run around the world. In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people could not leave their prefectures and counties, otherwise they would be punished as refugees, but they would not restrict the scholars who were wearing swords and bags. Is this a blind wanderer with status?
Bai Dong was overjoyed. It was rare for an intellectual to come to his family. No matter whether this guy is just a good example or a well-educated person, it is okay to figure out the era he is in. He wanted to be polite to imitate the other party, but when he thought of Huahua who died unjustly, he felt angry and hummed in his nose: "Hello guest."
Cao'er ignored this person and ran to the stove. The strong smell of chicken made the little girl lose her position in an instant. Before she could wipe her tears, her saliva flowed out.
My mother glared at Bai Dong with a grudge, and was busy giving gifts to the blind litter, adding hot tea, and then calling Bai Dong to get the dishes. There was no dining room and Mingtang in the countryside, so the meal was just eaten in the yard. The bluestone slabs that were temporarily used as rice tables were placed with wild vegetables, boiled eggs, and pine fruits. She also took out the only jar of old wine in the house. Bai Dong felt very distressed.
The chicken was placed on the table, but my mother took Cao'er to the hut. This is the rule of the country people. If a guest comes to the house, it would be disrespectful. Bai Dong no matter how polite or not, she pulled off the chicken head and legs and sent it to her. Her mother didn't care about it. Anyway, she couldn't take advantage of it. Cao'er grabbed the chicken legs and stuffed it into her mouth, saying that her brother was so good. When she returned to the yard, Bai Dong made a fuss and broke the mud seal and poured it all over. He had never drunk the wine at home, and he could not let this guy enjoy it exclusively.
"Where is the sir?" Bai Dong smiled and picked up the wine bowl, wondering if he had obtained the information he needed, he found a way to invite the guy out. I really don't understand what the mom thought. There are more than 20 families in the village, why do you invite the outsiders home when they come? According to her, this is an outside scholar, and it is precious. How many families in the village are robbing him? Later, the old patriarch was grateful for the difficulty of being an orphan and widowed mother, so he invited him to his house.
Bai Dong was very confused. It was not easy for an orphan and widowed mother to treat her. How could the grandfather of the clan leader be confused? I have pity my old hen.
I didn't have time to think about it anymore, but my mother was staring at me. She hadn't given her two chicken legs to the guests, which made her angry. If she didn't greet her well, she might have to be a master's method when she turned around. Don't think that my mother loved her, she would be very angry and would be extremely serious.
"Since my name is Chu Tong, I am naturally from Chu."
Blind Liu answered very politely, and his voice was still nice and sounding like a bird in spring, but Bai Dong felt that this guy had a kind of condescending pride; his professional experience in his previous life allowed him to develop the ability to observe people in a slight way. When it comes to observing words and expressions, the Blind Liu in front of him is still far from it.
But there was no time to think about these things, and Chu Tong's words surprised Bai Dong: "Chu State? Which Chu State?"
"There is only one Chu State in the world. Naturally, it is the magnificent Chu under the rule of the Zhou emperor. It is the best place in the world with abundant fish and rice. Do you know?"
Emperor Zhou, Chu State...
Bai Dong's mind roared. This is great. He went back two thousand years ago in one go.
Chu Tong shook his head slightly, his eyes feeling even more contempt. The poor country and the people, indeed, did not know the general trend of the world, and there was nothing strange about it. However, although the villain was humble, he was a scholar-in-law and was at the guest's house. Moreover, there was a beautiful girl who was a young man who was a young man, so it was very necessary to maintain some politeness.
In Chu Biaoliu's view, his arrival was like an angel's arrival, which gave the farmers the greatest hope; this thought was not despicable, even among scholars and nobles, it was a beautiful story.
Naturally, Bai Dong would not have thought about what this guy had thought, otherwise he would have kicked him out long ago. After being shocked, he felt that this era was actually good, and he was very competitive and scholars were like nobles. Compared with the Han and Jin dynasties, who were so strict with their disciples and the imperial examinations of the Later Dynasty, who had been studying hard but had difficulty in taking the imperial examinations for life, it was actually easier to make a fortune.
He didn't have much ambition at first, and even liked the pastoral life at the moment, but his mother and Cao'er needed a magic lamp, which he needed to create.
It was only from Chu Tong that he knew that he was a Qin man. At this moment, the king of Qin was Ying Lian. He was leading the army to fight with Wei in Hexi. The historical record of this battle was a draw. After returning to the country, Ying Lian raised his hair shortly after he returned to the country, and the temple name was Xian Gong. The heroic lord who colluded with Shang Yang to inquire about the reform was his second son, but he was still a passionate young man...
It was getting darker and Chu Tong wanted to show off his knowledge. The more Bai Dong asked, the happier he became. Naturally, he said everything. Bai Dong also used him to learn more about the general trend of the world. It seemed that he saw the two chatting well and it was getting late, and his mother actually walked out of the house and forced Bai Dong to drink more with the "Mr. Chu".
Bai Dong was very happy. My mother finally figured it out and knew that she felt sorry for the wine at home. She would rather let her son drink a few more bowls. Otherwise, why would she let herself have two bowls to toast with one bowl? It would be better for me, I know that she felt sorry for her son.
The Qin State's alcohol content is low and the sour smell like old vinegar is almost the same as saying it is to make people appetizing. If Bai Dong changed his alcohol-tested body in his previous life, he would only drink cold water for many bowls. Unfortunately, this body was given by the mother in front of him. It would be strange if he was not drunk for the first time.
I really can't remember what I said to Chu Tong in the end. Bai Dong's last memory was to count the stars. The stars in the early Warring States period must be different from those in later generations, right? You have to take a good look, hey, why is it so vague? It's not...
