Chapter 012: Poor Crying

This is a bit exaggerated, no matter how good pure water is, how much worse can it be than boiled water?

But when Bai Yuqi asked, he realized that he really didn't blame a few of them for pouring cold water like thirsty ghosts.

Because the water sources in this vicinity, whether it is the spring water gushing from the ground or the stream flowing down from the mountains, have a strange bitter taste.

A small stream near the village is the main source of drinking water in Kushui Village, and although it also has a faint bitterness, it is not undrinkable.

The spring water gushing out of the spring in the mountain behind the village is bitter, and it is poisonous, people drink too much, the body is swollen, and the limbs are purple and black!

According to the old village, they have not thought of a way to dig a small pond in the low recess near the village to store some rainwater for rainy days.

However, unless the rainwater is received by wooden barrels and clay pots, the rainwater will inevitably become astringent and bitter within three days of landing.

And because the water quality is bitter, the soil layer of the land is poor and thin, and there is a lot of gravel.

Some acres of corn and millet grown in the village not only have a very low yield but also taste with a trace of bitterness, which is why this place is called "Kugu Ao, Kushui Village".

"Little immortal, you drink porridge!"

Bai Yuqi listened to the old village explaining the situation in Kushui Village, and took a sip of the corn porridge that Yang Zhao had brought from the back of the slightly cooled back.

I clicked my mouth finely, and found that the base of my tongue really had a trace of bitterness after swallowing.

However, because the bran is separated very cleanly by [decomposition] and [separation], and the pure water condensed by [water-making] is used to cook the porridge, it is not too difficult to drink, at least it is not like swallowing sand.

Bai Yuqi, who was already hungry, didn't care about picking his mouth anymore, and snorted and drank...... There is no way, Yang Zhao's family doesn't have a spoon at home, and he doesn't need chopsticks when he has no food, so he can only drink it directly from the bowl.

drank a small half bowl of corn porridge and comforted the gurgling stomach.

Bai Yuqi looked up and found Yang Zhao standing aside, only then did he remember that Yang Zhao's family didn't say it was a spoon, and even the bowl was only such a single seedling, so he hurriedly handed over the stoneware bowl in his hand: "The stepmother also eats!"

"No, no, no!"

Yang Zhao's face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hand again and again in embarrassment: "Little immortal, eat it......! The concubine will eat it later. ”

looked at the corn porridge in the stoneware bowl, which was still sticky, and then looked at the small porridge crockpot.

Bai Yuqi knew that even if there was a little left in it, it would definitely not be much, so he stuffed the stoneware bowl into Yang Zhao's hand without saying anything: "I'm full! The stepmother will feed the little sister in a while, and don't eat more milk from there to feed the child?"

Yang Zhao blushed and took the stoneware bowl in his hand.

At this time, Yang Tieniu and the three of them were also full of water, and came over with a burp in their stomachs.

The young man Yang Gouzi suddenly saw the corn porridge in the pottery bowl and said in surprise: "Sister Zhao, can you give me a bite of such fine corn from that place?"

The old village is the only time that they discovered the difference in corn porridge, and Yang Zhao blushed and handed over the porridge bowl: "This is the little immortal who peeled it out by using the immortal method, and there is no bran in the porridge......"

"Nonsense! Your thirteenth sister-in-law is pulling the doll alone, and you are embarrassed to open your mouth to grab food?"

Lao Cun Zhengdu was already surprised that he couldn't care about Bai Yuqi and could still "cast a spell" to peel off the chaff.

It is estimated that after seeing a lot of magical methods, they are used to it, frowning and scolding Yang Gouzi, who is greedy: "Look at your cowardice, don't be rude in front of real people, you have to eat for a while!"

"It's okay! The concubine will cook some more later. ”

Yang Zhao hurriedly stuffed the porridge bowl to Yang Gouzi, who was scolded by Lao Cunzheng, his face turned red and lowered his head: "The dog is hungry, right? Drink it!

This young man is also a poor one, his parents went early when he was young, and he grew up in the east of the village and the west family.

Not to mention being hungry and full all day long, he is running around like a wild dog, not even having a serious name, and has been barking as a dog.

The dog's dirty face turned red.

Since yesterday, he has followed Uncle Tie Niu up the mountain, wanting to fight and eat something.

I didn't expect to encounter the immortals, but the prey was not hit, and I wasted my physical strength in vain.

There was such a big thing as an immortal in the village, and no one could take care of him at night, so that he was hungry until now, otherwise why did he do the desperate irrigation just now.

So embarrassed to be embarrassed, I still can't help the fragrance of corn porridge.

Secretly glanced at Lao Muramasa's face, and cheekily buried his head in the porridge bowl and snorted for a while.

The stoneware bowl with a large human head, Bai Yuqi only drank half a bowl just now, and he suffocated the rest in one gulp.

Before he finished drinking, his whole face was buried in the bowl, and he stretched out his tongue and licked like brushing a pot.

Bai Yuqi's face is green,?

There is a special bowl at home, you lick it so hard, how will Lao Tzu eat in the future?

Seeing that the dog was really hungry, Yang Zhao brought over the clay pot for cooking porridge and poured the remaining pot of porridge to him.

Only then did he take a clay pot and go to the house to refill some corn, planning to cook another jar, so that the old village could also taste the fine rice porridge without bran.

Yang Zhao held the clay basin and habitually walked towards the stone mortar.

As a result, when she saw Shi Jiu, she remembered that she couldn't scoop up the food without bran, so she could only look at Bai Yuqi at a loss.

Fortunately, after resting for a while and drinking some porridge, the mana has recovered a lot.

It turned out that proper rest and eating could speed up the recovery of mana, so Bai Yuqi helped Yang Zhao separate the chaff.

Yang Zhao took the clay pot and clay pot and went to cook porridge happily.

Although Yang Tieniu and Yang Xiaoshan didn't say anything, they also secretly swallowed saliva when the dog drank porridge, and hurriedly added firewood to Yang Zhao's helpers, obviously planning to mix refined grain porridge and taste it.

Don't say it's them, even Lao Cun is not looking at the scolding on his lips.

Didn't he just put the old ditch (buttocks) on a stump of a tree in the yard as a stool, and the one he sat on was called a flat and stable, and he hadn't eaten the fine food a few times!

"Old patriarch, didn't you say that the world has been pacified and the Central Plains has been unified?"

Bai Yuqi was about to cry because of this broken village, which was different from the Zhenguan prosperous era in his impression, and he couldn't help but say depressedly: "Why are the people still so poor?"

"It is said that the world is peaceful and the Central Plains is unified. ”

"But there are frequent invasions of Turkic, Tibetan, and Tuyuhun barbarians. ”

"There are remnants of the vassal king's anti-thieves, and the mountains are full of wild lice-like bandits and horse bandits. ”

Lao Cunzheng smiled bitterly: "How can the people recover so quickly. ”
