Zhu Xiang: "Huh? Do you want to start playing with me now? ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "? ”

Not only was my uncle strange, but my aunt was also strange.

Ying Xiaozheng tried very hard to think about it, and then his stomach made a loud "grunt", and his head instantly became blank.

He twisted his body slightly, lying on his stomach in his aunt's warm embrace, staring at the cyan jade jue in his hand that was reflexively clenched in a daze, unwilling to think about anything.

Breakfast was boiled eggs and yellow rice and date cake.

The staple food of this era is known as "five grains", "six grains" and "nine grains".

The five grains recorded in the Book of Rites and the Lunar Order are "wheat, mushroom, millet, hemp, and millet"; The "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period: Judging the Times", which has not yet begun to be written, records that there is more "rice" in the six grains; The nine grains are the same as the six grains, but the soybeans and wheat are divided into large and small beans and large wheat.

At this time, the south had not yet been developed on a large scale, and there were few rice plants in the central plains of the north. Wheat is an exotic variety, and the cultivation technology is not too mature; It is difficult to digest and is a peaceful food; Therefore, millet (i.e., millet) is the first staple food, and millet is second only to spike in importance.

Millet is yellow rice.

However, although the status of millet in the books at this time was high, because it was difficult to shed the husk, the grain rate was relatively low, so it was the main food of the common people.

Soybeans are cooked, bean leaves are made into soup, "Warring States Policy" cloud, "what the people eat, most of them are bean rice soup". Ordinary people such as Zhu Xiang are also known as "weed eaters".

When Ying Xiaozheng was mistreated, the small rice and yellow rice were taken away by the servants and replaced with bean rice eaten by the servants. So he knows that millet and yellow rice are precious.

As for rice, it was a precious delicacy that he could only see in the fragments of memory he had glimpsed in his dreams. It's a pity that the memory fragment doesn't have five senses, and he can't taste what rice tastes like.

When Ying Xiaozheng ate goat's milk rice soup and shepherd's cabbage lean porridge yesterday, although he was suspicious, he couldn't see the raw materials in the rice porridge boiled into a mush, and he was panicked and uneasy at that time, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to this.

Seeing that there were not only yellow rice cakes but also eggs for breakfast today, Ying Xiaozheng was very surprised.

He asked in a low voice, "Uncle, is our family rich?" "It turns out that my biological mother's family is so wealthy?

Zhu Xiang, who was helping Ying Xiaozheng peel boiled eggs, said "ah", looked at the breakfast on the table, which was very simple for future generations, and his expression brought a trace of loneliness and sadness that the other two people on the table couldn't understand: "Your uncle and I are now a guest of Zhao Guoshang's secretary Lin Xiangru, and the farming affairs of the Lin family's fiefdom are all under my uncle's management, so compared to others, it can be regarded as relatively wealthy, at least there is no shortage of Zheng'er's stuttering." ”

Ying Xiaozheng is very sensitive to people's emotions, he found that his uncle was in a bad mood, and immediately took a yellow rice cake to gag his mouth, not daring to ask again.

As soon as the yellow rice cake was eaten, Ying Xiaozheng's already big eyes immediately widened, and then instantly narrowed into two small crescents.

Good, so sweet, so delicious!

Ying Xiaozheng, who rarely eats sugar, immediately reveled in the yellow rice cake with sucrose.

Sugarcane was introduced in the period of King Xuan of Zhou, and it was called Zhe (zhe) at this time, and it was changed to sugarcane in the Han Dynasty, and the two characters were connected. Although the juice yield of today's sugarcane is not high, and the method of sugar production has not yet been explored, sugarcane juice has become a common seasoning for the cooking of powerful people.

Zhu Xiang was in charge of the Lin family's fields, and what the Lin family could eat was what Zhu Xiang could eat, so he collected some sugarcane and made it into sugar for storage, and the sugarcane could taste sweet after the season.

Zhu Xiang, the recipe for making sugar, also gave it to the Lin family and changed to the big house he lives in now.

Lin Xiangru presented it to the king of Zhao, and once again failed to exchange Zhu Xiang for the status of a scholar, and only exchanged for a few palace-made silks.

Although King Zhao did not allow Zhu Xiang to make money with the sugar recipe and attributed the sugar recipe to the palace, he very generously allowed the Lin family and Zhu Xiang to make candy to eat, but they could not give the recipe to others. So Zhu Xiang's family can still eat sucrose now.

No child can resist the sweet taste.

His action of eating yellow rice and red date cake turned on twice the speed, which frightened Zhu Xiang to put down the half-peeled egg and snatch away the yellow rice and red date cake that Ying Xiaozheng had eaten most of in his hand.

Ying Xiaozheng opened his little hands to protect the food, and his eyes immediately rose with mist.

"Eat slowly, what if you choke? Drink saliva first. Zhu Xiang handed over the water cup, "The yellow rice cake has been steamed a lot, and you can't finish it when it breaks your little belly, what's the hurry?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng blinked the mist in his eyes: "Can I still eat?" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled, and the loneliness that unconsciously appeared on his face dissipated: "Of course, didn't you just say it, my uncle doesn't stutter like Zheng'er." ”

Ying Xiaozheng took a sip of the water cup, and then looked up at the yellow rice and red date cake in Zhu Xiang's hand.

Zhu Xiang returned the yellow rice and red date cake that had been eaten by Ying Xiaozheng to Ying Xiaozheng, and told Ying Xiaozheng again: "Eat slowly." Especially when eating dates, remember to spit out the pits. ”

Under Zhu Xiang's repeated instructions, Ying Xiaozheng reluctantly slowed down a little, and his eyes turned into crooked crescents again.

Zhu Xiang continued to peel eggs and laughed at his nephew to Xue: "It's really hard to raise a child, right?" ”

Xue carefully wrote down the point that "children can't eat too quickly" and said, "Yes." ”

The crescent eye's Ying Xiaozheng stiffened. Disgusted, disliked?

Zhu Xiang put the peeled eggs in the small bowl in front of Ying Xiaozheng: "Eat the eggs slowly." If you are not used to the taste of boiled eggs, eat them with sauce. Children will become smarter when they eat more eggs, and they should not be picky eaters. ”

Eggs are a great food that can also be snatched up by the servants. My uncle took the initiative to peel eggs for me to eat, and he didn't dislike me. Ying Xiaozheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He stuffed the yellow rice cake into his mouth three times and two times, his cheeks bulged and deflated, spit out a jujube pit, and then reached out to grab the egg and took a bite gently.

Ying Xiaozheng's crescent moon eyes first widened and then turned back into crescents, the eggs are delicious~.

"Try the sauce my uncle made." Zhu Xiang pushed the small plate with mushroom sauce to Ying Xiaozheng.

Ying Xiaozheng dipped the egg in a little black mushroom sauce and took another careful bite, as if he was worried that if he bit too hard, the egg would fly away.

After this mouthful, Ying Xiaozheng, who tasted the taste of mushrooms for the first time in his life, seemed to have his taste buds beaten hard by umami, and his saliva immediately filled his entire mouth.

He tried to swallow his saliva, his small brow furrowed, and his expression very tangled.

Because it was so delicious, he was reluctant to take a second bite.

Zhu Xiang looked at this scene, and he almost covered his face with a fierce man, almost vomiting blood.

Do you know why the warm cub raising fan of station B is called a macho man? Macho men should watch this!

"Love, don't patronize Zheng'er, you can also take a bite." Xue couldn't help but laugh.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "No way, whoever makes Zheng'er too cute, I'm almost full of Zheng'er's cuteness." ”

Gently pinching the eggs that had been gnawed twice, Ying Xiaozheng, who was struggling with the inexplicable "sense of crisis", looked up suspiciously: "Cute? ”

Zhu Xiang explained: "To be cute is to be lovely. ”

Ying Xiaozheng's face flushed, overcoming the inexplicable "sense of crisis", and continued to bury his head in gnawing eggs.

Why is it being praised again? Did I do anything?

Ying Xiaozheng was a little dizzy.

"Indeed." Xue looked at Ying Xiaozheng who was biting eggs, and the last bit of mustard in her heart also dispersed.

The lover discarded by Chunhua is the best person in the world, and the Zheng'er discarded by Chunhua is also the best child in the world. It's the spring flowers that are wrong, not the belovers and politicians.

Xue also peeled an egg for Ying Xiaozheng, and said warmly: "Your uncle said that you can eat a maximum of two eggs a day, and if you eat too much, you won't digest it." Eat another one. ”

Ying Xiaozheng licked his fingers and said nervously: "Thank you, thank you, aunt." ”

Xue frowned and said to Zhu Xiang: "Zheng'er is afraid of me. ”

Zhu Xiang swallowed the yellow rice cake in his mouth: "I'm afraid of how normal you are, I'm also afraid of you." You have the highest status in our family, and Zheng'er and I are both begging for a living under you, who is not afraid of the head of the family, right, Zheng'er? ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "Poof...... Ahem, ahem. ”

Xue hurriedly patted Ying Xiaozheng on the back: "Loved!" Don't joke with your meal! Zheng'er, are you okay? ”

Ying Xiaozheng poured a sip of water and suppressed the cough: "No, it's okay." ”

Zhu Xiang raised his hands: "My fault, but I'm not joking." ”

Snow: "Beloved! ”

Ying Xiaozheng looked at Zhu Xiang, who winked at him, and couldn't help laughing for some reason.

Zhu Xiang put down his raised hands and said with a smile: "Look, he's either afraid of you, or a little nervous." Seriously, children can instinctively detect who has the most say in the family. Zheng'er must have noticed that you are the most powerful in our family and want to make a good impression on you, so she is nervous. Isn't it, Zheng'er? ”

Ying Xiaozheng followed Zhu Xiang's words and said, "Well, I'm not afraid of my aunt, I'm just a little nervous." ”

"That's right. Yes, you have just arrived, and my lover and I are still strangers to you. Xue helped Ying Xiaozheng wipe his face, and no longer bothered about Ying Xiaozheng's fear of her, "I'm sorry, it's my aunt who is in a hurry." ”

The first time he heard an older person apologize to him, Ying Xiaozheng was a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Xiang said blindly: "Zheng'er, if you don't know how to respond, just smile at this time." Come, learn like my uncle, that's all, smile. ”

The corners of Zhu Xiang's mouth curved upward, revealing an exclusive smile for an ID photo.

Ying Xiaozheng believed that it was true, and the corners of his mouth bent upwards hard, and he raised his head to look nervously at Xue's reaction.

Xue gasped slightly, tears overflowing at once.

Ying Xiaozheng was frightened: "Uncle?!" ”

Xue bent down, hugged Ying Xiaozheng into her arms, gently patted Ying Xiaozheng's back, and choked up: "Uncle is fine, nothing, it's just ...... I have a child who looks very similar to my beloved, and I'm really happy. ”

Ying Xiaozheng, who was held in his arms by the snow, was stunned.

Zhu Xiang put away his smile, got up and walked to Xue's side, and took Xue and Ying Xiaozheng into his arms: "I'm sorry, Xue, it's all my fault." ”

In order to ask for medicine for him, Xue walked a long way, kowtowed a lot, and knelt for a long, long time. After that, in order to take care of himself, Xue worked all day long. So Xue's body has not been very good.

But they will never have children, not because Xue is not in good health, but because Zhu Xiang has already died once.

Although Zhu Xiang was born with Su Hui, even if the effect of Meng Po Tang is not very good, he is also Zhu Xiang of this era, and only occasionally has some knowledge of his previous life in his head, which is smarter and more mature than his peers in this era, and has more ambition to live a better life.

During the period of serious illness, Zhu Xiang was like a soul out of his body, his body could not move, but his consciousness clearly "saw" everything that Xue had done for him.

At that time, they were no more than horns. Chunhua took all the family's belongings away, and although she left some food that could not be taken away, it must be very difficult for two eleven or twelve-year-old children to survive together.

If he dies again, and only Xue is left alone, then Xue will definitely die.

When he first learned that he was abandoned by his eldest sister, Zhu Xiang had already given up living and wanted to find his family.

Later, he desperately leaned on his body, desperately trying to survive, unwilling to leave Xue, the only relative.

Later, the barrier between his past life and this life shattered, and a powerful force pushed him back into his body.

The two souls became one.

Not only did he gradually recover his health, but the vague memories of his past life seemed to have become a library in his mind for him to flip through. As long as he memorized the knowledge in his previous life, he can access it at any time.

He has the capital to live, but he has also lost the possibility of integrating into this era - the clear memory allows him to continue the solid three views he has cultivated from modern times, and from then on, he will always be out of step with this era.

After escaping death, Zhu Xiang got a system that still shows "active".

There is no "intelligent customer service" in the system, and all instructions are text.

The text told him that he should have died, and the system helped him fuse the soul fragments of his previous life to renew his life.

The purpose of the system is to observe how well-behaved traversers can bring about good changes in parallel worlds. Travelers can get system rewards by forming a relationship with a "historical celebrity" who can influence the course of this world. But there is no punishment for the host to do nothing, and the system does not interfere in the host's life.

The system also sent a "privacy protection clause", indicating that it only records "historical ripples", and does not record the private life of the host, so as to protect the privacy of the host.

Zhu Xiang believed it.
