rebirth through food
Chapter 8 Gourd Jade Pendant
gourd jade pendant
"Well, dad, what do you think?" Ye Xiaofeng asked quickly when he saw that Father Ye had also eaten.
"The taste is good, but..." Father Ye hesitated, "It's not so easy to do business."
"Hey, Dad, you don't understand. If it's selling some vegetables and wild fruits, every household has them, and every household can pick them, so it's not rare. But this pork liver is rarely eaten." Ye Xiaofeng I also took a piece of the mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and frowned slightly.
This taste can only be said to be barely edible, and it is indeed outrageous to say that it is delicious.It's just that there is no series of condiments such as soy sauce, so it can only do so much at present.
"Xiaofeng, I never thought that your little child would have such good craftsmanship." Father Ye sighed, "Our ancestors didn't know how to eat these things, but you made them out!"
Although Father Ye sighed and expressed relief, Ye Xiaofeng was still in a cold sweat from fright.He patronizes these food and drinks, but forgets that the poor food here is not just because of poverty, but because no one has ever thought of using these things to make food.
The climate here is suitable, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables are much more abundant than in his world.He couldn't remember the names of many vegetables, and even those vegetables and fruits he knew tasted better than the ones he had eaten.It's fine if all the varieties taste good, but because of the climate here, the species here are a circle larger than the world he lives in.
Such a rich species, but people here don't know how to eat it.Vegetables that can be eaten raw are all eaten raw, and there are no more than two methods for those that cannot be eaten raw, one is steaming, the other is boiling, and at most there is another cold salad.Either way, it takes a long time, and the taste of the dish is lost, and the seasoning is only simple seasonings such as salt and vinegar.
He has the ability to cook, but he doesn't have the ability to make full use of it, which makes him feel powerless when he punches heavily but hits nothing.
"Father, I'm not greedy. You don't need to spend money to see these things, just..." As he was speaking, Ye Xiaofeng felt his chest burn, and he couldn't help but let out a cry and put his hands in.
"What's the matter?" Father Ye was startled, and got up quickly, and Lan'er also hurriedly crawled over from the other side of the table.
Ye Xiaofeng took out his close-fitting jade gourd from his arms, and rubbed his chest.
"Is it the jade pendant your mother left you with fever?"
"My mother left it to me?" Ye Xiaofeng was taken aback, he was still secretly complaining that he had exposed the jade pendant, but he didn't expect Father Ye to recognize the jade pendant.Could it be that Ye Xiaofeng in this world also has a jade gourd exactly like him? "Father, you said this pendant..."
No wonder he suspected that this jade pendant was his original one, because the two things were basically the same, even the crack on the top was in the same place.
Now Father Ye suddenly said that it was left to him by his mother, and he was immediately stunned. What is the relationship between this gourd jade pendant and his coming to this world?
Pain flashed in Father Ye's eyes, "Your mother brought this for you when you were born, and he said it was left by your grandfather."
"Father, what's so special about this jade pendant?" If it's what he thought, then there must be something special about this jade pendant.
Unfortunately, Father Ye shook his head. "You have been wearing this thing all the time, and your mother said that it should not be taken off easily, so I haven't seen it a few times." It's on his son, and he can't always take it off to look at it, let alone he is a rough man, and he doesn't care about this jade. I don't understand much, let alone the value of this thing.As far as he is concerned, the preciousness of this thing is only because it is left by his wife.
The father and son fell silent, but Lan'er leaned over curiously, "Brother, do you think this jade pendant will get hot?"
One word reminded Ye Xiaofeng that there was a burning heat in his chest just now, as if it was going to burn him, but he took it out and saw that it was the jade pendant. I don't know if it was the jade pendant that was getting hot just now.
"Lan'er, can you feel it?" The jade pendant in Ye Xiaofeng's hand didn't feel warm at all, it was just like any other ordinary jade.Ye Xiaofeng didn't know what the reason was, so he could only ask others to feel the difference to see if there was a difference.
Lan'er obediently stretched out her hand to touch it, but there was nothing unusual about the little jade gourd. Lan'er shook her head slightly, "It's not hot."
Father Ye also reached out to touch it, shook his head and said it wasn't hot.This made Ye Xiaofeng suspect that he was just delusional.
"Continue to eat." Father Ye saw that the food on the table was almost cold, and hurriedly greeted the child to eat, but after taking a few mouthfuls, he suddenly opened his mouth, "Xiaofeng, don't let outsiders see this jade pendant. Lan Don't go out and say it."
The child is young and may not understand, but Father Ye knows that his wife is not an ordinary person, and the things on her are naturally also unusual.In this small mountain village, it's okay to say that no one knows him. If someone of the same kind saw him, he might cause trouble.Losing the jade pendant is not a big deal, but getting my life hurt is the worst thing.
"Hmm." Both siblings nodded.Ye Xiaofeng gave Father Ye and Lan'er another hot pig's heart.Although the taste of pig heart is also good, but the whole family has something to worry about, so the food is not as happy as before.
Because they were in a bad mood, everyone didn't eat much. Except for the two dishes, there were still a lot of other staple foods and bone soup left.After Ye Xiaofeng and Lan'er cleaned up the dishes, they fed the two chickens and ran to the next room to play, while Ye's father was lying on the bed drowsy from drinking too much alcohol.
"Brother, what are you doing?" You said it was play, but it was actually work.The children of peasant households are not as good as the girls of Ye Xiaofeng's era. They have computers, mobile phones and tablets, and they can even go out to sing and go shopping.The girls here can talk and laugh together, even if they are playing, going out to dig wild vegetables to feed chickens and pigs is also considered playing.If you can go to the market and have a few pennies on your body, it will be like a fairy life.
At this moment, Lan'er is holding the needle and thread on the soles of the shoes. The soles are something every family needs to prepare. If there are many women in the family, there will be more than a dozen pairs of soles.I usually use a thick cloth to stretch the rags, and then use the explained hemp thread to tie it carefully. Then when the shoes on the feet are worn out, just stretch the uppers of the shoes and they can be worn at that time.
There is only one girl in the Ye family, Lan'er, and she is also young, so the insoles are not made quickly, and there is no wealth.But fortunately, the Ye family has a small population, so they can't use a few pairs a year.
Ye Xiaofeng poured a small bag of sesame seeds he had just found in the granary into the dustpan and slowly sifted to remove the empty skins and large debris mixed in it, then poured it all onto a large piece of gauze, lifted the gauze The four corners are tied tightly with rope, and finally the tied gauze is put into a wooden basin filled with water, and the sediment mixed in the sesame is slowly washed away.
This small bag of sesame seeds weighed three to four catties, and it was said that they were saved up to exchange for sesame oil.But Ye Xiaofeng didn't care about so much anymore. When he made money, he could just buy sesame oil.
The sesame seeds after rinsing looked plump. Ye Xiaofeng put all these sesame seeds on the kang, and let the kang, which was heated just before cooking, dry the sesame seeds.
The weather was not cold long ago, and there was no need to sleep on the kang to keep warm. The brothers and sisters laid bedding on the foot of the kang in the west wing and slept.
Ye Xiaofeng really wanted to talk to his sister about the world. Ye's father was an adult, so he was afraid of showing his feet, but Lan'er was different.Lan'er is very dependent on and trusts him, and she is a relatively simple little girl, so the formulas are much simpler.
It's just that they drove for several miles during the day and were busy cooking when they came back. For their age, it was very hard work.So the brothers and sisters hadn't spoken a few words, both Lan'er and Ye Xiaofeng, who had a lot to ask, fell asleep.
In a daze, Ye Xiaofeng seemed to have walked into a big mansion, shrouded in thin smoke, the mansion was faintly visible.
Ye Xiaofeng didn't know what this place was, nor how he got here. He only knew that there seemed to be something attracting him in the courtyard in the mist.
Not aware of any danger, Ye Xiaofeng slowly pushed open the gate of the house.The yard is very large, and within the high gray walls, it is divided into many fields, with many plants planted, but just like what he encountered in this world, there are many vegetables and fruits in it that he can't name.Continue to go inside, it is a building, or a tower.However, because the smoke became denser as it went up, he could only see the first floor clearly, and the second floor was already blurred, and he had no way of knowing how many more floors there were.
The tower was a little dark, Ye Xiaofeng could only vaguely see what was inside the tower.Ye Xiaofeng coughed lightly, and after a long while saw that there was no movement, he stepped in.
The moment his footsteps fell, the entire tower lit up.It's not brightly lit, but the surroundings can be seen clearly.
A translucent sphere is suspended in the middle, and a piece of white jade in the middle is slightly shining.
Ye Xiaofeng reached out his hand to touch it, and the seemingly hard sphere was easily inserted into his hand, and the jade piece also fell into his hand.
Ye Xiaofeng withdrew his hand and looked at the jade piece in his hand, but there was not even a single word on it, so he couldn't tell what it was.
What is this?
Ye Xiaofeng picked up the jade piece and put it in front of his eyes to watch carefully. Unexpectedly, the jade piece jumped up like an attracted magnet and sank into his forehead.
Ye Xiaofeng was startled, and it was too late to reach out to grab it. In an instant, there was a sharp pain in his head, and monstrous information swept towards his mind.
Ye Xiaofeng covered his head with his hands, and smiled bitterly in his heart: It's over, it seems that this time he is really going to die!If he had known this would be the result, he would never have stepped into this tower...
"Well, dad, what do you think?" Ye Xiaofeng asked quickly when he saw that Father Ye had also eaten.
"The taste is good, but..." Father Ye hesitated, "It's not so easy to do business."
"Hey, Dad, you don't understand. If it's selling some vegetables and wild fruits, every household has them, and every household can pick them, so it's not rare. But this pork liver is rarely eaten." Ye Xiaofeng I also took a piece of the mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and frowned slightly.
