Chapter 47: The Origin of Millet

"Xiao Yingling, look at how beautiful the stars in the sky are! "Wen Ying sat on the stone bench at the door, looking up at the night sky...

Xiao Yingling stood on Wen Ying's shoulder, flashing his two pairs of wings, his tail flashing with yellow-green glow, blinking innocent eyes, and accompanying Wen Ying to look into the air......

"Well, is the master homesick?" Xiao Yingling asked.

"I miss my real home! I don't know why the Shang Dynasty is here again! This is more than 3,000 years away from my time! When will I be able to go back" Wen Ying was really sad!

"Master, don't worry, you will definitely be able to go back, Xiao Yingling will always be with you" Xiao Yingling comforted Wen Ying.

"Fortunately, there is still a person with me now, otherwise, I really don't know how I will live! Why are there such twists and turns...... "Wen Ying is very sentimental! Tears swirled in my eyes!

"The hosts have always been the most courageous! So no difficulty will bother you! Don't be afraid! It's going to be fine! ”

"I can only rely on strong courage to continue to survive!"

"The host had told me! As long as you're not afraid, everything will be fine! If you break your spirit first, then everything will be cured..."

"When did I say this to you?" Wen Ying tilted her head and asked a little puzzled.

"Hehe, isn't the master so sad?" Xiao Yingling squinted a little proudly. Shaking the body, leisurely cute!

"You little guy, you can really coax people" Wen Ying suddenly felt that this was so familiar! I don't remember who said that, but that's how it feels!

"I will always accompany the master, always .....," Xiao Yingling repeated affirmatively.

"Thank you! Little Yingling! I know you'll be with me, so let's go boldly together! Whatever comes your way, we'll get over it! ”

"As long as we are together, it is the courage to overcome everything, and I will protect you"

Wen Ying was shocked again, how could the words that this little guy sometimes say feel so familiar!? But it's still so weighty!

Wen Ying didn't feel like she was falling into a little contemplation......

"Immortal Master", "Great God", "Fairy"... A meal of various calls.

"What's wrong?" Wen Ying pushed open the door: "Come in and talk"

"Look, this seed has grown ears!" The village chief was very happy to hold a grass that had grown ears and had grown from the roots.

"Oops! Isn't this an ear of grain? Wen Ying was so happy that she was anxious, what she wanted was the ears of grain!

"This one is much bigger than the ears of grass, and it looks like the seeds inside are also very large."

"yes, then we can press a lot of grains out of these that we planted?" Another villager asked excitedly.

"Hmm," Wen Ying nodded happily.

"Thank you, Okami"

"Thank you fairy"

.... A happy thank you

"Thank you Immortal Master Wen, I'm going to have a few drinks tonight anyway" The village chief looked at Wen Ying happily, asking for Wen Ying's opinion!

"Just that's it"

"Yes, yes, yes"

"A few drinks by all means"

.....

"There has been a famine here, I haven't been so happy for many years, I must have a drink tonight, bring all the delicious food and good food of each family to the Wen Immortal Master, and celebrate in this courtyard tonight" The village chief looked at the villagers around him excitedly and ordered.

"Okay, that's it," everyone said in unison.

"Then I'll go and plant this one again" A hard-working villager was reluctant to let this tree be wasted, so he asked Wen Ying.

"Well, go for it"

......

"Great God, can you really eat this kind of fruit that you are talking about? I just ate one that's delicious, why don't you eat one too? A woman picked out the largest apricot from the small basket made of the small locust strips she was carrying and handed it to Wen Ying.

"Okay, thank you!" Wen Ying took it and took a bite, because she knew that she had to eat boldly in order to completely dispel their concerns!

"Come, you can taste it too," Wen Ying said to the people around her.

"Okay," said one of them, and they went to get one and ate it.

"Delicious, right? But don't eat too much! After a while, go and pick all the yellow fruits from the trees on the hillside and share them with everyone to taste, and in the future, as long as this fruit is ripe, they will pick it collectively and everyone will eat it separately," Wen Ying told them.

"Okay, we all thought it was a poisonous fruit before, and we never ate it, and it fell to the ground and rotted like that year after year!" The village chief said as he ate.

"Yes, it would have been nice to know that this fruit was edible," one villager also regretted.

"We used to want to eat it, but the taste was very sour, so we thought it was a poisonous fruit, no one dared to eat it, I didn't expect it to taste okay, thank you Daxian for your advice, or the fruit that bears every year will be wasted!" A villager said happily eating.

"Did you pick it up and eat it when you first saw it get bigger, and it was still blue?"

"yes? I thought it was a poisonous fruit with a taste."

"It's very unripe, so it's very sour, and when it turns yellow, the sour and astringent taste will be light, and then it's ripe with this slightly sweet taste!"

They all nodded.

"Remember, don't eat this fruit when it's empty, a person can eat up to seven or eight at a time, and don't eat too much."

"It's so sweet, it's delicious, why can't you eat too much? Is it really poisonous? ”

"It's not poisonous, it's this kind of fruit, which contains a kind of acid and is not easy to be absorbed by the human body, so eating too much is not good for the stomach, it will make you upset and have stomach pain."

People nodded their heads in approval, believing what this "immortal" said......

"Immortal Master Wen, this grass seed that has just come out is no longer the original! We're talking about giving you a name, but if you don't know what it is, you can't call it a weed, right? The village chief sat behind the wine table next to Wen Ying, watching Wen Ying ask for Wen Ying's "golden words".

"Also, this has no name and can't explain it to anyone else in the future! Why are we the first to eat here?" a villager replied.

"Yes, thank you so much for coming to us! We're going to starve! ”

"Yes, yes, thanks to the help of the gods!"

"This is the creation of our village!"

"Legend has it that our village a long time ago, there was a colorful cloud like a golden phoenix floating in the sky, at that time they all knelt down and prayed, hoping to bring good luck, now it seems that it is really good luck, the great god can come to us, indicating that we have good feng shui here!"

"yes, yes! So do more good deeds! We don't have any slaves here, we all support each other and live together."

"That's why! Otherwise, this immortal wouldn't have come to us to help us! ”

"yes, yes"

.... Several elderly women on the peripheral table were talking to each other about this "legend" that seemed to be a "legend"

"Why don't you call it fairy grass?" One of the villagers suddenly said something in a loud voice, and when he finished speaking, he glared at him, and his face showed a happy expression, as if he had thought of a good name.

"Yes, that's good! Thanks to the immortals, we can get this thing," several people echoed.

"Don't, this is not grass anymore, let me think about it" Wen Ying pretended to be pensive, in fact, she already knew what to call it! After all, history cannot be changed! Although, at this time, it is himself who dominates the name of this crop!

"This evolved from grass, planted in the field, changed its shape, made it better, and became one of the staple foods, I think it is called 'Ji', He He has dependence, the field has grains, over and over again, and finally the staple food" Wen Ying didn't know that at this time, she was also like a set of real literati and gods!

"That's a good name," the village chief nodded incessantly and shouted excitedly.

"Good"

"It does make sense"

......

The rest of the people naturally looked at each other and nodded in approval!

"From now on, we will have grass, and we will have food" The old man in the village, who had a little ink, stroked his white beard, closed his eyes slightly, and nodded to indicate satisfaction.

"Come, for the immortal master to help us get such a good grass, cheers" The village chief raised his glass, and everyone saluted Wen Ying who was sitting on the main seat...

Wen Ying originally wanted to drink without touching it, but in such a scene, it is a little unreasonable for her not to drink it! Only do business and follow the customs!

No matter what, it's not a real immortal! This amount of alcohol is really limited! I can't stand such and such good wishes to persuade you to drink!

After a while, Wen Ying drank a little too much! It feels like a double is happening in front of me!

She raised the copper wine glass that was drinking, and admired it drunkenly, looking at this triangular wine glass, it should be a bottle at this time, right? Although it is not as rich as the pattern in the corners of the museum, this simple copper bottle is indeed worthy of her modern appreciation!

Wen Ying took another sip of wine, pure and sweet, no wonder they all said that the Shang Dynasty people were addicted to alcohol? It turns out that this wine really tastes different and is intoxicating! :

"I am clear, but I am thinking about it"

"If this wine is not cited, it is in vain to come here"

"The bottle of the bronze merchant dynasty drinking, sure to be genuine! I want to collect it, although the wine tastes good, how can it be difficult to ....." Wen Ying said, lying on the table and getting drunk...

When Wen Ying woke up, Xiao Yingling tilted the hazy and charming fluorescence up and down, blinking her eyes and looking at her with some concern:

"Master, are you awake?"

"Oops, I'm a little dizzy, am I drinking too much?"

"Well, Xiao Yingling is very worried?"

"It's okay, the wine of this dynasty is all handmade by pure beam, and it generally doesn't hurt people."

"Well, it hurts to drink too much."

"I'm fine, why haven't you rested?"

"I want to look at you like this"

"Why?"

"It's not just that I'm worried that you've drunk, but that I somehow want to look at you tonight"

"Oh, so obsessed with me, hehe, it's good to see the moonlight outside! So bright! ”

"Well, it's very bright."

"Shall we, then, go and see the bright moonlight?"

"Okay, okay," Xiao Yingling flashed her little wings, looking very happy.

Wen Ying climbed on the windowsill, Xiao Yingling stood on Wen Ying's shoulder, and looked at the night sky very comfortably... At this time, the night sky is so deep blue and secluded, so close but unreachable, so far but close at hand! The stars winked and seemed to greet them happily. The moon is even more hazy and beautiful, full of mystery...
