Chapter 2 Eating is a big problem
Walking out of the thatched house, out of a small courtyard surrounded by broken wooden boards, seeing the scenery in front of Lin Tian seems to be like Tao Yuanming's fisherman who first arrived in the peach blossom spring: the land is flat, the houses are like that, there are good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy. I really arrived in a completely strange place, the sun on the western mountain like a shy girl with a fan to cover half of her face, half of the sky dyed golden, men in loose linen clothes carrying hoes and speaking in local dialect flocks to go home, women shouted for their children to go home, some disobedient were carried by the ears babbling home, the birds also squeaked back to their nests, and after a while the cigarette pipes of each house were curling green smoke, yes! Just like you think, hungry! It's time to eat!
From last night to now Lin Tian has been in a coma for a whole day, usually Lin Tian goes to the nearest town to do small work, in fact, he is so young and thin that he can't do anything at all, the people in ancient times were simple and kind, and he took pity on his family's hard work and let Lin Tian be a handyman in a restaurant, not giving him wages, and giving his family of three a day's corn to eat, today Lin Tian didn't work all day and naturally had no food to eat, and the family of three was hungry. Looking at his sister's pitiful little eyes, Lin Tian suddenly felt a little unbearable, seeing that there was a river passing next to the village, Lin Tian knew that today's dinner had fallen, and broke free from Shui Yue's support and walked towards the river step by step.
"Brother, where are you going? You just woke up and you're still in poor health, don't run around, get a good rest! Shui Yue said anxiously.
"Don't worry about me, I'm totally fine, you see." Lin Tian rolled up his sleeves to show his firewood-like arms and tried to show his muscles.
"Look, I'm so strong, I'm fine! Hey! ”
"That'...... That...... You'll be back sooner! “
After that, Lin Tian left without looking back, came to the river and took a look at the water before the sky was completely dark, and said in his heart: That's really the case! A thin cheek with short hair was reflected on the water, with black and yellow skin, except for a pair of wide-open eyes. Looking at himself in the water, he couldn't help but laugh: "Okay! Very energetic! Then he patted his face.
"yes, it's time to get down to business." Take your gaze off the surface of the water and into the water.
I saw that the big carp in the clear river water was fat and big, swimming slowly on the shore, Lin Tian was close to these big fish and was not afraid to swim by himself. Since the Li family mastered the world, the people did not eat the carp in order to avoid the royal taboo, because the carp and Li are homophones. In addition, the people don't like to eat the fish in this water very much, so the fish are very fat.
Lin Tian took off his clothes and left a branch that looked very straight from the tree on the shore, rubbed one side of the branch on the ground hard, knowing that until it was sharpened, such a simple harpoon was ready, just doing this made Lin Tian sweat a lot, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"This body is too weak to help the wind, such a body can't survive in this era......"
Then he raised his harpoon to the surface of the water, and stabbed it with all his strength, the fish in the water were swimming peacefully, never thinking that anyone would eat them, and then a fat carp was taken out of the water by the harpoon, and the fat fish fluttered vigorously on the shore and struggled to return to the arms of the mother river, but it was already too late at this time, it had become Lin Tian's food.
After a while, he caught a lot of fish, shaved off the scales on the shore, wrapped the internal organs with his jacket and walked in the direction of home, at this time the last ray of light on the edge of the sky also disappeared in the sky, the sky fell into darkness completely, the stars came out from behind the clouds, shining, the air in ancient times was so good, you can see countless stars, Lin Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, under the same sky actually spanned a thousand years of time, this thousand years of time in the eyes of nature is just a moment, But in the eyes of people, it is the birth and death of countless generations, the rise and fall of dynasties.
When I returned home, I heard the conversation between my sister Shuiyue and Mother Lin before I entered the house.
"Mother, I'm so hungry, I want to eat......"
"Good boy, let's wait for your brother, and we'll eat together when your brother comes back."
Lin Tian pushed open the door and saw an oil lamp emitting a faint light on a tattered small table, his mother was sewing patches on her clothes with needles and threads by the faint light, and her sister was lying on the table staring closely at the crockpot and a plate of things that looked like boiled wild vegetables on the table in a daze.
Through the faint light, Lin Tian saw that there was thin corn porridge in the crockpot, and it seemed that the corn in it was not enough for three people to eat......
"Ahh My brother is back, mother, let's eat! ”
"Well, Tim'er is back, let's eat......"
"Sit here and wait patiently, I have something delicious for you to eat." Lin Tian looked at the mother and daughter with a smile.
"What is delicious brother, I want to eat, I want to eat!" Shui Yue said excitedly.
"You'll find out later."
Then Lin Tian picked up the crockpot and the small wild vegetables and walked to the kitchen, on the kitchen floor was the fish that had just been caught from the river, Lin Tian planned to make a fish soup and grilled fish, speaking of which Lin Tian's cooking skills were not bad, because Lin Tian's strong body before needed a lot of nutrients every day to maintain, Lin Tian gained a lot of attainments in the kitchen after coming and going, in short, he was very good at eating.
Light up the stove, put the crockpot on it, use a kitchen knife to cut the wild vegetables into dices, cut a few pieces of fish into small pieces, put them in the crockpot and stir them with a spoon to prevent the ingredients from being scorched at the bottom and affect the taste, with the meat soup bubbling for a while, the wood at this time has also been burned, you can't see the open flame, this is a good time to grill the fish, cut off the fish head with a thin wooden skewer to put the fish on the charcoal to roast, not long after a while the fat fish will be squeaked and fragrant, Sprinkle a thin layer of coarse salt over the grilled fish and you're done. Some of the remaining fish were hung on a rope higher in the hope that the residual heat of the ashes would take away the moisture from the meat so that it could be eaten again tomorrow.
It took less than half an hour for Lin Tian to come back with the crockpot and put it on the tattered little table with the baked one.
"Brother, what kind of food is this, it's so fragrant." My sister asked excitedly.
Mother Lin also put down the needle and thread in her hand at this time, picked up a small bowl and served rice for the three of them, and her sister just got it, and devoured it, while drinking fish soup, she grabbed the grilled fish and ate it, and she was not afraid of being hot.
Lin Tian tasted it, and said in his heart, even if his cooking skills are good, but the lack of seasonings, the fishy smell of carp is very strong, but as long as he can eat it when he is hungry, it is good. Mother Lin was also eating fish soup in small bites at this time.
"Brother, what kind of meat is this? It's delicious! Shui Yue patted with his oily little hands
Belly asked.
"You little fool, don't ask what kind of meat it is, I'll let you eat meat if you want to eat it in the future, okay?" Lin Tian touched Shui Yue's head but was very surprised in his heart, Shui Yue had never eaten fish.
"For my mother, I believe that Tian'er will definitely make our family better." Mother Lin looked at Lin Tian with loving eyes. Lin Tian didn't expect that Mother Lin had eaten fish, but she couldn't tell about eating fish, otherwise she might get into trouble.
In ancient times, ordinary people didn't have so many entertainment things now, and basically went to sleep after eating, Lin Tian slept in the outhouse, and Lin's mother and daughter slept in the inner room. Extinguish the oil lamp plate and sit on the kang and slowly run Vientiane in the body, every time Lin Tian runs it, he feels the strength of the body is a whole point, the wonder of this exercise is difficult to describe in words, but after running it many times, it will be very tiring, and after a few times, he will lie on the kang and prepare to sleep.
"Although the Lin mother and daughter don't have a deep relationship with me, I only have these two relatives in this era, and I will definitely let them live a good life!" Then he closed his eyes and went to sleep to welcome him on the first night of the Tang Dynasty.
