Volume 3 A Thousand Autumn Poems 17, Misfortune Comes from the Mouth (4)
From the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Xia Xiaoman began to be watched by Nian Liang, eating a brocade egg every rì.
Every time I feel that it is difficult to swallow, I have to eat every time, but fortunately, there is no adverse reaction after eating. She was only sensually nauseous, and physiologically not enough to vomit. As for efficacy...... On the fifth day of the menstrual period, the bleeding gradually stopped, and her hands and feet were not very cold, whether it was because the menstrual period was over, or whether the brocade egg was really so magical, it was unknown.
Anyway, I didn't see any miracles in Nian Liang. Xu is a blood tonic, his original face is good, but his hands are a little white abnormally, and there is little blood on his fingers and nails, and he has eaten brocade eggs for ten days on the twenty-first day, and his hands seem to be a little ruddy. But in this era, there is no way to test heme or anything, who knows if the blood is prosperous or not? You can't give him a knife, judging by whether the blood is surging or not.
It certainly doesn't hurt to eat it, the question is how long it can last.
There were thirty-one brocade eggs left, and storage became a problem. Xia Xiaoman only knows that the shelf life of eggs at room temperature is usually thirty days. Although I don't know how long this brocade egg can last, but it is not a dinosaur egg, and the time will definitely not be extremely long. She felt that forty-five days was the limit.
In the winter of the north, the outdoor is a natural refrigerator, the freezing effect of minus seventeen or eight degrees, the chicken, duck and fish meat are placed outdoors in the wax moon, and they will freeze solidly for a while, so there is no need to worry about the problem of deterioration. The utility hut next to the kitchen occasionally has a stove, and the room is only two or three degrees, and the live refrigerator can store vegetables and eggs.
If the weather is cold all the time, this brocade egg is stored at such a low temperature. It shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, this year, the chūn is early, the fifth day of the first month is the standing chūn, and it is already raining by the twentieth, and the outdoor temperature is now above zero, and the bowl of water at night cannot freeze outside. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is really unsafe to keep this brocade egg like this.
Food poisoning caused by spoiled protein is scarrier than anything else.
Xia Xiaoman only knows two ways to distinguish bad eggs, one is that eggs with the sound of water must be bad. One is that the egg white and egg yolk are chaotic, and the egg must be bad. As soon as she got the brocade eggs back, she asked people to shake them one by one. And no bad guys were found. Eat it all the time. I didn't find anything bad, but I counted it in the past two days. Ji Zheng's first day of the eighth month to buy land in Qilin Mountain, this brocade egg, until the twenty-first day has been thirteen days, and it is not short. What day did this egg land? The expiration date is calculated from the day it lands.
Xia Xiaoman hugged his head and had a headache, how could he have considered this problem when he bought eggs in the vegetable market before? Now think about it, eggs are not on the tree, a basket, this chicken can lay an egg a day, it seems that the primitive conditions to feed the chicken, three days to lay two eggs is very good! The vegetable market is eggs pulled from chicken farms. That's the eggs laid by tens of thousands of chickens, how many of these magical chickens can there be? How many chickens are these forty brocade eggs, how many chickens are in the world? Which egg landed on what day?
God, what a hard undertaking it is.
She was depressed and resolutely gave up the evidence, and still had to be based on facts. At that moment, I asked someone to check the brocade egg again. After confirming that there is no sound of water shaking, I will no longer throw the whole brocade egg into the pot every day. Instead, open it first to see the state of the egg white and yolk.
But that's it, it's impossible to eat one brocade egg a day, drag it out for thirty days, and it is estimated that in another ten days, it will be almost bad.
The best way to preserve it, of course, is to store it in the belly of the chicken. #。 It would be best if you could buy colorful chickens and raise eggs every day.
If you can't......
"The best way to preserve eggs that have fallen to the ground is to eat them in your stomach." Xia Xiaoman forgave Nian, "Otherwise, you can eat two brocade eggs a day." "This is also the limit, a person can eat two eggs a day at most, and no matter how much cholesterol is too high, it is harmful and unbeneficial. In this way, there can be no more egg products in the usual meals.
"According to you, I will not be able to eat until the eggs are bad. The eggs are no longer fresh, and they have not been offered to their grandfathers and grandmothers for a long time, but now they are offered, which is disrespectful. Nian forgave him, "If it is saved and ruined in the end, it is better for you to eat it now, and you can eat it in half a month." You also want to replenish your qi and blood. ”
Xia Xiaoman's face fell, and he said in his heart, I calculated the time for you, I was afraid that the egg would be bad, and you would be seriously ill after eating, and then hang on the ground, delaying my major event to Meizhou. Okay, in the end, count yourself in, and the ghost will eat with you.
She hurriedly said, "What have I done...... My hands and feet are not cold. ”
"You can't just look at the waste, can you?" Nian Liang smiled and said, "You also know that it is more than one or two pieces of silver." You don't like to waste things......"
She wanted to cry...... One or two pieces of silver, shall we discount it?
The answer, of course, is no.
Xia Xiaoman finally understood what a grasshopper tied to a rope is, that is, everything is synchronized, and he has to follow Nian Liang to eliminate the brocade eggs that are moving towards the deterioration period day by day.
There is another thing to do together, which is bird training.
Xia Xiaoman has always felt that Nian Liang is either paranoid to some extent, or he is extremely bored and has nothing to do. used to be very critical of the Ji family's house, he said that he wanted his aunt to live comfortably, but she felt that it was more like he was deliberately looking for a pastime to make life fuller. Now that he has devoted great enthusiasm to the work of bird training, she thinks that if he gives him a cricket bowl for a cicada cage, he will be a standard bird and insect fighter.
The year forgives the training of birds to spoil the main, and as a result, the six are used to becoming more and more uncle. In the past few days, I don't know how much I have eaten, but Yu Jingqi's grimace is not aimed at, he completely ignores it, and swaggers around his own house when he is full.
"You can't train like that." Xia Xiaoman saw that he had failed countless times, and he was getting fatter and fatter than he was, and if he continued to raise him like this, he would be fat, and he could directly change his name to "Six Cakes".
"If you feed it like that, it won't be able to fly." She said, "Starve it for two meals first, and then don't hold the flag and don't give it anything to eat." ”
Nian Liang frowned and said, "Then it flew away." Isn't it because of stuttering? ”
Xia Xiaoman smiled. People, birds and beasts are all so realistic, if you have food, you stay, and if you don't have food, you will jump ship immediately, loyalty, fate, it's all nonsense. She laughed, "Didn't you just want to let it go?" Isn't it right to fly? Otherwise, you can take a small whip and whip it without holding the flag. ”
She bit the accent on the words "smoke it". Fierce look. Nian Liang frowned even more when he heard this, and said, "How can you say that it is so vicious." ”
"Vicious...... Hmph......" Xia Xiaoman pouted. Said: "Why do you use a horsewhip to ride a horse?" Do you just shout it and listen? "Taming the beast requires a stick and a carrot. A two-pronged approach.
Nian Liang was defeated in the fight, and the six were handed over to Xia Xiaoman for training.
Xia Xiaoman took a silver hairpin with a round head embedded in a single bead ....... Well, of course, it's not about poking the ...... with the tip of a hairpin, it's about knocking the head or foot of Rokujo with the end of the bead. Of course, it won't be a fight to the death, but a knock, the hairpin is not very heavy, and the knock is not heavy, just right.
With the "teaching whip", Xia Xiaoman also specially made long-sleeved thick cloth gloves. and took a short thin chain and tied six feet on the shelf, for fear that six would be beaten and pecked her protective measures are effective, six classmates are a bit of an aristocratic background, initially pretended to be a gentleman for a while, and couldn't fight back the "mouth". Later, I went berserk twice. Due to the short chain, Xia Xiaoman can't reach Xia Xiaoman. Dry staring is just no problem.
After being beaten several times, the clever Rokujo began to resist passively, and he did not hold the flag, nor did he eat, nor did he move after being beaten. Xia Xiaoman saw that it was wilting, so he was probably annoyed, and he didn't coax it, and asked Cai Ai to take it out and then let go of the chain on its feet. This unties, Rokujo did not obediently get into the cage as usual, but flapped his wings and flew away.
"I've done it for you." Xia Xiaoman saw it, clicked his eyes, and said to Nian.
Nian Liang has raised the bird for so long, but he is a little reluctant, but thinking that sooner or later he will let it go, it is better than him dying in his own hands, so he only shook his head, glanced at Xia Xiaoman and said, "Accumulate blessings? Obviously, you knocked him away. ”
Xia Xiaoman stuck out his tongue, turned his head and put his hand on the pergola to look at the six in the distance, and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, it's a release, the purpose is certain, and the means are different......"
Who knew that the next morning, six miraculously appeared in the cage hanging under the corridor of the Immortal Residence.
The maid was amazed, all of them said hello to the year, the Tao is that this bird is spiritual, and the six masters are deeply blessed. Nian Liang was also very happy, and asked someone to take a small plate with grains and nuts to feed six.
Xia Xiaoman stood far away and looked coldly. In the end, it is an animal, remember to eat or not, and if it is not good, it will come back if it has food. She pondered for a while, and sneered, what about people, is survival important and dignity important? There are so many people who want money and don't want their lives, they can do without their lives, do you still want face?
Looking at Xia Xiaoman, who was standing far away, Nian Liang greeted her with a smile and said, "Man Niang, come and feed it." ”
Xia Xiaoman waved his hand and said, "I'm not going." It's smart, I'm afraid it'll hold a grudge against me. "Stand so far away to guard against it. In her impression, birds are very vengeful animals, so she can do anything with her, don't she send them to the door to get revenge.
Nian Liang smiled and asked someone to close the birdcage door, and called her again: "What are you afraid of, what does it remember!" ”
Xia Xiaoman saw that it was impossible for Liujo to fly out and peck her, so he went over there and pouted, "What do you remember?" It's good to remember xìng! Otherwise, how can you fly back?! ”
Nian Liang smiled and put the small dish in her hand and mouthed at Rokujo Nunu. Xia Xiaoman didn't move, only stared at Liutiao, Liutiao, and also stared at her with a pair of bean eyes, staring at her. She first shook her fingers outside the cage, and sure enough, six of them rushed over and pecked.
Xia Xiaoman shrank his fingers, tilted his head and looked at Nian Lang: "See, I said it holds a grudge." ”
Nian Liang was stunned for a moment, then laughed so hard that he could barely stand on his feet, took two steps back and leaned against the pillar and continued to laugh, saying, "It's really smart." Manniang, you are also extremely smart! ”
Xia Xiaoman turned his head and rolled his eyes fiercely, and said in his heart, I'm smart, hum, I'm not smart, okay?! I'm not smart and I'm pecked!
Qing Ying smiled and asked someone to find a medicine spoon with a long handle, handed it to Xia Xiaoman and said, "Aunt nǎinǎi take this and feed it." ”
Xia Xiaoman took it with a smile, scooped the grains, and stretched them through the gap in the cage. Rokujo paused, seemingly hesitating for a moment, and then cautiously reached over and pecked. hurriedly shrank his head again, and seeing that Xia Xiaoman didn't mean to go back, he stretched out his head and pecked at ease.
Xia Xiaoman tilted his head and smiled at Nian Liang: "You really picked up a big bargain." This bird is so smart! ”
As she spoke, a spoonful of grains was eaten, and six chirped, as if to remind her that she wanted more.
Xia Xiaoman blinked, bad water came out, and he scooped up a small piece of broken snacks with a smile and handed it over. Rokujo didn't doubt him, and Leyun stretched out his head to peck at him. Xia Xiaoman turned his hand. A spoon is hammered on Rokujo's head.
Rokujo was beaten coldly and screamed "chirp". Jumping back violently, after reacting, he fluttered his wings with great anger, and rushed over again, jumping and jumping, screaming loudly, protesting against Xia Xiaoman's sneak attack.
Xia Xiaoman laughed proudly, and the maids around him laughed even more, and Nian Liang laughed so much that the pillar was unreliable, and shouted Qingying to help him. Qing Sakura also smiled as she held her waist. persuade the two masters to go back to the house and sit slowly to play with the birds, and sit and laugh.
After a few pinching, the six called Xia Xiaomanmo completely lost his temper and began to be taught obediently. It's really smart and tight, and within two rì it will be a flag and a grimace
It's strange to say. Xu Xia Xiaoman tamed it. No matter how much you hit it, it won't return its "mouth". On the contrary, Xia Xiaoman was very good, so he loved to fly to her and stop, and he didn't leave.
Xia Xiaoman gritted his teeth and scolded it for being cheap, while secretly being proud. When she was a child, she watched cartoons, and she envied those pirates, witches, and eagles on her arms and shoulders, she was really handsome. Now I have a ...... Hmm, although it's a little small...... But it's also an enclave, ......><
Nian Liang was full of mothers, and he praised it a few times, and took the crested red to tour the old lady and the second lady. The family praised this bird for being psychic, and several young ladies and little young masters came to see it a few times. And in these few rì, the most diligent one is Ji Lingshu.
As soon as the Ji family entered Beijing, Miss Seven accompanied Ji Lingshu to play in the capital, but after the Lu family proposed, the fourth lady detained Miss Seven and did not allow her to go out, and Ji Lingshu was left alone.
When Jiu nǎinǎi once came to Xia Xiaoman's side to chat, he mentioned this, and said that Lu Shaoyu, the third master of the Lu family, met Miss Seven twice on the street, and he took a fancy to it, which was why the Lu family proposed marriage. Although the Nian family refused, and the Lu family did not entangle again, the fourth lady was still extremely unhappy, and the Wang family's family affairs were promoted by her, and there was no room for mistakes, so she thought that Miss Seven was making trouble with her at this time, and reprimanded her, and did not allow Miss Seven to go out and cause trouble.
Nine nǎinǎi has a communication barrier with Ji Lingshu, so naturally he refuses to take her to play, where can Miss Fifth and Miss Six play? Ji Lingshu was not allowed to go out, so he only wandered around the courtyard.
In the end, Changshengju is a cousin, no more stable than the Nian family---- she goes, her cousin is easy to talk to, but she is much more comfortable here, so she is willing to come to Changshengju. Besides, she loves birds and beasts, and she has always liked this crested red, so she often soaks here for half a day and half a day.
Although Xia Xiaoman didn't like her, he still hoped that she would come to the Immortal Residence instead of going elsewhere, so as not to be bitten by the big bad wolf.
Hit seventeen that rì called algae picking two more pay attention to what people are going back to the wild goose back to live, Cai Ai has not done anything, Cai Ai has already taken the first-hand materials and handed them over, from Ji Lingshu came to the capital after which dim sum he liked, which rouge gouache he bought, to her flowers and plants to change pots, goldfish to change tanks are all clearly investigated.
Xia Xiaoman was not particularly happy, he got these so quickly, is it because he has strong ability to collect algae, or is the people around Ji Lingshu not strict? ! If it is the latter, I am afraid that my own family can get the land information, and the seventh master can also get it, if he is playing the abacus of Ji Lingshu, it will be a big mistake.
Sure enough, within two days, the algae picking came up again, and the seventh master sent a few pots of flowers to his aunt and wife, and sent a pair of nine rings to Miss Table, and specially called a golden bell and Miss Table's cat.
The seventh master sat on a tea floor in the wild goose home, and talked with his aunt and wife for a while, and heard that these seven ladies no longer go out, so he recommended himself to take Miss Cousin out to play. Then, he was politely rejected by his aunt.
