Two or three things about becoming Ye Wang's mother

As I said before, Ayu is an extremely powerful person.She can hold two young children at the same time, and she is also a superb actress.But I really didn't expect that she could still hunt!

When she appeared in front of me with a pheasant, I was shocked and blurted out: "You can't eat wild game!" Then I came back to my senses and asked her where it came from.

"I happened to meet it, so I brought it back for extra meals." She answered me lightly, and then threw the pheasant on the open space outside, not caring about it.

Does this mean I should handle it?

But I never killed a chicken.

For a while I was in trouble.

Or should I keep it in captivity and wait for it to lay eggs?Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the pheasant whose feet were tied.

Ah, the feather color is so gorgeous, it is only a male.

I gave it a disappointed look, then looked away.

"If you don't want to, then keeping them in captivity is a meaningful thing for Ah-chan."

Ayu leaned against the door, looked at the pheasant, and then at me.

meaningful thing?Actually I don't quite understand.Do I want to start farming?

However, at this time, the development of the aquaculture industry is obviously nothing to do.

In the Asuka era, Emperor Tenmu ordered the prohibition of eating cattle, horses, dogs, apes, chickens and other animal meat, and then in the Nara era, Emperor Shomu prohibited the slaughter of cattle and horses. The habit of eating animal meat.But once in a while, I see traders smuggling prey in town.Sure enough, it is the essence of human beings to obey others and violate others—although it is a bit ugly.

Then I am so happy.After all, meat is so delicious, even if the current level of cooking is a galaxy lower than modern times, it is meat anyway.

I have endured without mobile phones, electronic products, and flush toilets. If there is no meat to eat, then I think it will be really difficult to live.

Since you can't lay eggs, you can only cook.

"Let's cook, Yuyi and Aihua need nutrition." Hens can lay eggs in pens, but what's the use of roosters?Ready to sell?That has to be sold.

Ayu thinks this proposal is very good.

It's a pity that there is no casserole here, and the porridge pot is too small to stew chicken.So after much deliberation, I decided to make roast chicken.It's been a long time since I had grilled chicken.

Before that, of course, I have a question.That is, who will kill the chicken?

I said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I won't."

Ayu gave me a silent look, and could only say, "I'll do it."

Today's Ayu is omnipotent in my heart. If she tells me that she can change her gender one day, I may believe it.

While Ayu was processing the pheasant, I went to prepare the five spices, that is, things like green onions and garlic.For me, planting skills may be engraved in my DNA. Since I can't reclaim wasteland, it should be no problem to plant some spices.Too bad I can't get ginger.I also like to eat ginger, especially pickled ginger in summer.Soaked ginger and white porridge are a perfect match.

While I was processing the onion and garlic, I heard the miserable cry of a pheasant from the other side.Unlike Ayu's confident expression when she said she came to kill the chicken, I felt worried.

Ayu, she should be fine, right?

When I got back outside the main gate of the shrine, Ayu was pulling up his sleeves and plucking chicken feathers.Brightly colored feathers are everywhere.

At this time, I should have ignored these gorgeous and useless feathers, but the girlishness in my subconscious still prompted me to put them away.

"Because it's beautiful." Facing Ayu's question, I replied like this.

After cleaning and the smell is gone, make some trinkets.Yuyi and Aihua are so beautiful, they must look good on them.The same is true for Aye. Although she is still small, she can wear it when she gets a little older.

Fortunately, this is ancient times. If it is placed in modern times, I will definitely cry behind bars for this kind of behavior.

I went back to the house and looked at the three children, all of whom were sleeping soundly.Although it is spring, it is still a little cold.After covering them with quilts, I went out to check on Ayu's situation.

She has built a simple stove with stones.Looks decent, maybe she's done this before.I really admire her more and more.

The sun set from the opposite hill, and the green hills with dripping green leaves bear the orange-red sunset, just like a beautiful landscape painting in an art gallery.If I can draw, then I will hold the pen in my hand tightly and draw this beautiful scenery.

Too bad I won't...

I can't draw...

what a shame.

In my regrets, Ayu has already lit a bonfire. The bonfire here is just an iron cage with firewood burning, which is mostly the same as I thought.There is no bonfire in the shrine, and I don't know where Ayu got it.Grilled marinated chicken.Not long after, the chicken oil oozes out of the chicken skin, sizzling, dripping into the firewood, causing crackling noises.The chicken is simply marinated with onion, garlic and salt. After all, the conditions are limited, and there are only these condiments.There may be more Tozai in Heiankyo, it's just too far away.

After Ayu took care of it for a while, I came to replace him, holding the dry branch with the whole chicken in my hand, carefully keeping a distance so as not to burn it.After all, Aihua Yuyi is still young, so it is better to eat less barbecued things, and the tenderer the meat, the better.

"It's a little burnt here."

"Ah, really, I didn't notice!"

Noticing that the color of one part was very worrying, I quickly turned the dry branch in my hand in a circle.Then I belatedly turned sideways and looked at the kind person who reminded me.

It was a man wearing a black undergarment alone.Young, in his early twenties.A head of curly curly hair hangs behind her, and her appearance is also extremely delicate, which makes people feel good.

His crooked eyes are looking at the grilled chicken in my hand.

"It's the first time I've seen someone grill a chicken here."

Ah, is this the person who lived here before?Priest?then what?

"You used to live here?" I blurted out as soon as I thought of something.Sometimes I really worry about writing characters for myself.

He thought for a while, then said softly: "Well, it's been a long time since I came here."

He squatted with me in front of the campfire.

His gaze was too eager, and I couldn't help but say: "Ayu brought this chicken, I'll ask her later if I can share it with you."

He looked at me in surprise, finally opened his mouth and said nothing.

I think our atmosphere is a bit awkward.I am not a person who is good at finding topics, once no one starts talking, the quiet atmosphere will embarrass me.I know that it is difficult to work hard in society with such a personality, but there is no way...

whatever, say something...

As a result, he opened the topic.

"Do you know whose shrine this is?"

I looked at the shrine and said, "I heard that it is the shrine of the fallen god, but it has been abandoned for a long time."

"So you know."

I thought about it, and felt that there was something in his words. After thinking about it again, I probably understood it, so I said with a straight face: "Although the name sounds scary, I haven't seen it, so I don't know it." Discuss. But the only certainty is that this shrine has saved Aye and me."

His expression was calm, as if he was thinking about something, and then he said to me: "It has been a long time since humans have come to Resentment Prison Mountain."

what?

I was just about to say that Minamoto Raimitsu had been here before, when I heard Ayu gasp.

"Master Black Mo."

Master Heimo?

I looked at Ayu, and then at the young man in black squatting beside me.

I remember, Axiu said that the taboo of depravity is black grinding...

Ah... No one told me that the fallen god looks like the big brother next door?

The author has something to say:

Note: Eating wild animals is wrong!

During the Heian period, no animal meat was eaten, and the nobles seemed to strictly abide by this order.However, warriors and ordinary people also have the habit of hunting and eating meat secretly.

The information I have found before is different.It is said that pheasant and wild duck are not included in this list.In short, the definition of animal meat is not uniform.

Then there is the regulation not to kill cattle, which seems to be for the farming season (February to September), and the rest of the time is unknown.
