Chapter 21 Rush to the Market

It took two days for the family to harvest the wheat, pull it to the field and dry it for two days, and then beat it in a square wooden box to get the wheat grains out. The wooden box is about 3 meters square, 6 or 70 centimeters high, and people stand outside, beating the wheat on the inner wall of the box, and the wheat grains are thrown out.

After the wheat is threshed, the initial ash is raised, and now you can put down most of your heart, as long as it doesn't rain for a long time, it's no problem. All that remains is to let the sun dry the wheat thoroughly, and when it is windy, completely dust it, separate the debris from the wheat, and then store it.

Well, I have to wait for the lord's butler to bring someone to collect taxes, and every time I think of this, it is a heartache, and I have to collect at least half of the tax on this grain.

Ignoring the issue of taxes first, Jiayi looked at the golden wheat drying on the ground on the flat ground in front of his house, looking forward to the next buns, dumplings, fritters, bread, cakes and a series of delicacies, as if he already had yeast and cream, and completely forgot that he didn't even have eggs. It's a bit too much.......

Donna was doing housework at home, her parents went to Aunt Cecil's house to help, and Jia Yi also prepared herbal tea for them. Although the taste of the otherworldly version of herbal tea is indeed weird, and there is no sugar, I don't know whether it is the herb or the old medicine technology is better, or the effect of people's hearts, it seems that the effect is not bad. Several families who have drunk herbal tea are ready to prepare some to cool off when they go to the field.

It's a pity that herbal tea can't be sold for much money, to be precise, Yao Lao didn't pay for it at all, and only collected a little bacon or a small pot of wheat.

There are often many birds coming to eat the wheat on the ground, and Jiayi always wants to learn the leap soil to improve the diet, but unfortunately there is no big plaque at home, and it is not good to ask his father Gary to make a similar one, and he has never had the opportunity to achieve it, so he can only drive the birds away.

He has been studying with Yao Lao for several months, thanks to his memory and mature thinking logic, his learning progress has greatly exceeded Yao Lao's estimate, and Yao Lao has promised him to take him with him next time he goes to the set.

It's not far from Yao Lao's next market, and if the weather is good, it should be after the wheat is dried. I don't know which one to look forward to more, the market or the bread. He has been weaving the sieve for sieving flour in the past two days, using disassembled twine, and screwing the sieve surface finely after screwing. Its practical fine twine weaving is not perfect, the sieve surface of the barbed wire is estimated to have no chance to be realized, and the best should be woven with a horsetail at present. It's a pity that no, not even a donkey.

......

In another month, the moon turns blood-red (the moon turns red in the Atlas month). When Jia got up, the moon was already hanging diagonally in the sky, and it didn't look like it wanted to set yet, but the sky was indeed faint. He quickly cleaned up and went to Yao's house to knock on the door. Today, Yao Lao is going to take him to the town's bazaar.

Speaking of which, for carbon-based life, the sun is theoretically necessary because carbon-based organisms need to get energy from the sun. But the moon doesn't seem to be necessary, although the absence of a moon will lead to a series of problems such as the absence of tides, and this other world actually has a moon, I don't know if there is any inevitable connection with the earth.

If there is no moon, I don't know if the girls in this world have DYM, although there is no research to show that a woman's Aunt D is related to the moon phase, but the cycle of these two is almost the same, which is actually very revealing.

Of course, Kaichi didn't delve into this issue, which seems a bit obscene.

When he arrived at Yao's hometown, Yaolao had already packed up, and a large back basket contained some medicinal materials that had been concocted for sale, covered with a burlap on the surface, and pressed a few branches. The oil lamps in the house emit a faint glow. Jiayi also has oil lamps in the house, but almost never used them, in order to save fuel, so they are all sunrise and sunset, no nightlife!

Well, at least Kayi didn't!

Yao Lao blew out the oil lamp and beckoned Jia Yi to go on the road, but the sky was not bright at this time, and the road was not very easy to walk. Fortunately, Jiayi is young now, not short-sighted, and can see the road clearly.

Speaking of rebirth, it's still good to be reborn, myopia, rhinitis, wisdom teeth and other problems in the previous life are gone. The whole world is much clearer. Jiayi had myopia of nearly 300 degrees in his previous life, but he didn't like to wear glasses, except for using a computer and really not being able to see clearly when watching TV, he didn't like to wear glasses at other times.

So when he was on the road, Jia Yi didn't take the initiative to say hello, he could only see a human figure clearly when he saw people, but he couldn't tell who it was, whether he knew it or not. If the other party doesn't take the initiative to greet him, he can only see who it is when the two of them approach Jiayi, and then greet each other.

I remember once in college when Jia Yi came out of the cafeteria, saw what seemed to be a counselor standing downstairs across the road, squinted for a long time, and then walked over like this, not daring to admit it...

Tamu Village is not an important place, of course, there is no road connected to the town, and the road they walked was stepped on by the villagers when they went to the town. Just like Zhou Xun (Lu Xun's surname is Zhou, so he is called Zhou Xun) said: There is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road. (It is estimated that Zhou Xun didn't think about the highway or the railway when he said this!) Because there are many people walking, this road is relatively safe, of course, the one who carries it does not count.

After walking for about an hour, Yao Lao said to Jiayi, "Jiayi, are you tired? Go and sit on the stone over there and rest." ”

The two walked to a big stone and sat down, Yao Lao took out two pieces of black bread and water from the back basket, and handed one to Jiayi: "Hungry, eat some bread first." ”

Jiayi is indeed hungry, and the last meal was last night's dinner. He took the piece of bread that was said to be similar to a dead dough cake, tore a piece of it off with his teeth, drank another saliva, chewed it with water, and swallowed it.

"Teacher, you should tell me to let me prepare food. Jia Yi took two bites and couldn't help but say to Yao Lao.

"What's the matter, you're not satisfied with the noodles to eat! But it's true, it's not as good as the food you cook, so I'll let you prepare it next time." ”

Jia Yi didn't remember that he had to walk for three or four hours on this road, and he couldn't keep hungry all the time. In my previous life, when I was young, I went to the street with my father, and I went to the street to have breakfast. But that's only about 10 miles at most.

After breakfast and a short rest, the two were back on the road, and by this time, the sun had come out. Kaichi is full of spirit again, although he is still young, he is well developed, and children are always full of energy. When I climbed the mountain in my previous life, I was about to lie down, and the bear children who came from my parents still had the energy to play around.

After walking for about three hours, he couldn't be sure, anyway, the sun wasn't yet noon, and it still looked easterly. They were finally outside the town.

The town does not look very large, but it is surrounded by wood and thorns, and the end of the wall can be seen on both sides. At the gate of the town, you can see other people coming to the market. There was also someone driving the ox cart, and he stared at the ox cart and almost drooled.

After all, he was still young, and the few hours of driving down did make him tired enough.

"Jia Yi, let's go!" Yao Lao beckoned Jia Yi into the town, okay. There is no charge for entering the city or anything.
