The house they live in is also built layer by layer, and the house is very much like the modern Yunnan Bai people, with wooden structure stilted buildings, all kinds of agricultural tools are placed downstairs, and people live upstairs. The yard of each house is also paved with pebbles that are abundant in Qujiang, which are colorful and very beautiful. It is simply a work of art with natural carving, and the softness of Jiangnan style is seen in the magnificent atmosphere, and it is the same as ingenuity.

Xia Ye stared at these beautiful houses and asked, "You all live in houses, why do I live in caves?" ”

Bai Qi said very seriously: "The cave you live in is the place where the former palace master lived!" For so many years, we haven't touched anything inside, and there is a special person in charge of sprinkling and cleaning every day, and we have been waiting for the day when our palace master can come back. So, here you are, so ......"

So, she lived in the cave where her mother lived back then.

Bai Qi's face was slightly red: "If the palace master is unwilling to live in the cave, I will immediately arrange a place to live to ensure that the palace master you live comfortably!" ”

Xia Ye hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, it's good to live in a cave!" Especially the cave where my mother lived! ”

But how did all this come about?

Bai Qi said: Before the palace master appeared in Xiaoqu, they were just an indigenous people, a group of uncivilized savages. They ate wild beasts of the mountains, slept on hard stone beds, and wore rough cold stuff sewn from the most primitive leaves and animal skins. Later, the palace master suddenly appeared here one day, she wore a long white dress, fluttering down from the sky, like a fairy, bringing them the civilization outside, teaching them how to cook food, how to grow rice, and even raising silkworms and picking tea, and many, many more skills.

The palace master is simply a god-like existence in the eyes of Xiaoqu people.

Xia Ye was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Her mother is so powerful! It's just a Nuwa-like existence, and a nation has been created! Walking around, she found another place, it was on a hill that was not too high, ventilated on all sides, and there was an attic made of dry wood on it, which was also the only house made of wood in Xiaoqu, Xia Ye walked over to see, and saw that the dragon and the phoenix were dancing vigorously and vigorously on the lintel and wrote three words: Library Pavilion.

Natsuba's heart began to beat fast.

She slowly pushed open the library and went in, flipping through the books inside, it was a huge vault, and all the books related to life were here.

Bai Qi smiled and said, "This is our Xiaoqu's library pavilion, and all the books here are brought back from outside by the palace master. The culture of our Xiaoqu and all kinds of inventions are all learned from here. The palace master not only taught us various life skills, but also left us a valuable treasure, which Xiaoqu is inexhaustible in this life. ”

When she said this, her beautiful eyes flashed with divine brilliance, and her heart was full of reverence, and she really worshipped Natsuba and her mother as a god. At the same time, he is full of yearning and curiosity about the outside world.

Xia Ye finally understood the reason why Xiaoqu was able to develop better than other countries in just a dozen years. The people here are also hardworking and good at learning. A lot of techniques are self-taught from books.

Natsuba is also proud and proud. This is her mother, who has benefited a group of people with her actions, allowing them to get rid of poverty and become rich and live a happy life.

In the evening, they held an evening party in the unique way of the small canal to welcome the arrival of Natsuba.

They led Xia Ye to a small wooden building that was very elaborately built and very wide, where a feast was set up, and the four Eight Immortal Tables were put together to form a long flowing table, on which dozens of exquisite dishes were placed. Not only fresh fruits, vegetables and fish, but also some cured hams, bacon, sausages and more.

Natsuba was very interested in this pickled food, and picked up a piece with chopsticks and asked with great interest, "You all made this yourself?" ”

Bai Qi nodded and said proudly, "Yes!" We make deals with the people of Nanjing, we give them the material needs of life, they give us cattle and sheep, and when we can't finish eating, we make these things into this, and the palace master tastes them to see if they are delicious. ”

Bai Qi's eyes were shining, full of expectation. Xia Ye took a bite and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then let out a long sigh of satisfaction: "It's so delicious!" How do you guys! It's amazing! ”

Bai Qi was very happy, pouring beans into the bamboo tube and talking about the technique, and Xia Ye was also excited when he heard it.

After the meal, they couldn't wait to serve tea to Xia Ye, Xia Ye just wanted to say, just drink tea, she has also drunk it in other countries, we are our own people, the etiquette of drinking tea or something is exempt, right? As a result, Bai Qi just didn't agree, so she had to let her taste Xiaoqu's homemade tea.

After the tea came up, Xia Ye was stunned. It's actually roasted tea.

She had seen in modern times that the highest hospitality tea of the Bai people in Yunnan was roasted tea. The production of roasted tea is very particular, and the world-known "three teas" are the best in the hospitality tea of the Bai nationality in Yunnan.

After pouring the tea, Bai Ji carefully served it and put it in front of Xia Ye, Xia Ye was stunned and picked up the tea, just as she saw in the Bai nationality in modern Yunnan, the color was light yellow, and the shape was like a fan.

Bai Qi smiled sweetly, and her eyes were full of expectation: "Palace Master, try it?" This is a unique invention of Xiaoqu! I didn't learn this from a book! ”

She is very proud of this Xiaoqu's own invention, and wants Xia Ye to taste it wholeheartedly, wanting her approval.

Xia Ye noticed that his hands were shaking a little. Slowly tasted a sip, the taste is delicious, it is indeed the taste of the three teas of the Bai nationality in Yunnan, but because the production technology is still slightly rough, the sweet and fragrant taste has not been fully brought into play, and now the taste is still a little bitter.

But that was enough to surprise Natsuba. She put down the tea and wanted to say something to Bai Qi, but found that she couldn't say anything, so she had to praise: "Good tea, good tea!" It's better than any tea I've ever had outside! ”

"Really?" Bai Qian's happy face turned red, and her big crystal eyes shone even brighter: "I don't have a name for this tea yet!" The palace master should give it a name! ”

Xia Ye didn't think about it, so he said, "Let's call it three teas!" Great, that's a good name! ”

Bai Qi was also very happy, and everyone up and down the canal was very happy. Their little paradise-like little place has always relied on the civilized life brought by the former palace master, but they didn't expect that one day, they will also have their own inventions and creations, which makes them unhappy!

was cheering, Bai Qi and the others suddenly knelt on the ground again.
