It was a nice day again, so Yunyao brought a large clay pot filled with water and put the fish in the clay pot. Since she wanted to give a gift, she naturally had to give it alive. It takes a long time to walk from the river bank to the foot of the mountain, so we won¡¯t work today.
The closer you get to the mountains and forests, the more small animals there are. These small animals still don¡¯t know what kind of civilization their descendants will face, and they don¡¯t know how delicious their descendants will become. At this time, they were scurrying back and forth among the weeds on the roadside without any worries, not afraid of people at all.
You can already see the mountain man's house, and the style is very simple. Yunyao knew that this mountain man would sometimes go to the fief to exchange for some food. Uncle Zai and the others had done transactions with him.
The outer wall of the house is decorated with feathers of various colors, tied with fine hemp ropes, which must be tributes. There are also some unknown dried meats drying in the sun, and there are some bones piled in the corner.
The house is protected by a bamboo fence. There are two large mulberry trees planted in the yard, and there are several willow trees beside the stream outside the fence.
"Is there anyone there?" Standing outside the fence, Yunyao asked loudly with her good voice.
After a while, there was a sound in the house, the door opened, and a petite woman wearing animal skin came out, presumably the mountain man's wife.
The woman looked at Yunyao strangely, unable to discern the origin of the guest, so she asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Excuse me, is Shanren at home? I am the daughter of the Zhu family. I heard that Shanren is a master of archery, so I came here to learn and ask for advice." Yunyao said politely.
"I don't know if it's your noble lady who is here, please come in." She heard that she was the daughter of the Zhu family, and the woman also knew that she was a baron, the only noble in this world.
"Are you the mountain man's wife? How do you call her?"
"Exactly, my name is Ji Jiang." Corresponding to Yunyao's name, her surname is Jiang, but Ji is definitely not her name. She took the surname of Shanren, which is how a married daughter is named.
For example, Yunyao's mother was called Zhu Jiang during her lifetime, also with the surname Jiang, and then took her father's surname as her name. Because the mountain people are not nobles and do not have a surname, they take a surname.
Having a surname also represents the identity of a Chinese. Generally, savages have no names at all, only a code name.
"Hello Aunt Jiang." Yunyao said hello obediently immediately.
"Come in quickly." Ji Jiang is about thirty years old. His body is a little frail and his expression is a little tired, but his eyes are kind and he must be a virtuous person.
After being introduced into the hall, Yunyao took a rough look.
The house is not big, but it is well organized. There is a bamboo plaque for raising silkworms in the hall, which is covered with mulberry leaves. It seems that it is preparing to raise spring silkworms.
Yunyao¡¯s family also has these things. They were all left by Yunyao¡¯s mother. No one has used them since her death. It stands to reason that as a woman, Yunyao should raise silkworms and weave cloth, but as a baron, no one forced her to make a choice, so she never raised silkworms. Before traveling through time, Yunyao did not know that the history of silkworm rearing by people in the Central Plains could be pushed back to before the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"She, he has gone into the mountains and will come back after noon. You can wait for him. If you have other matters, you can also leave a message for me and I will tell him." Ji Jiang said softly, and she took a For Yunyao to sit on the thatched futon, he was actually sitting on his knees.
"I'm waiting for him." Yunyao said, "There is a black fish here as a gift. Please accept it."
"No, my husband has a weird temper. If I accept the gift without authorization, he will definitely be angry." "My lady, my husband may not agree to teach you archery. He often says that his archery skills will be lost because Although his archery skills are powerful, the requirements for practitioners are also high. If he is not strong enough, he will not even be able to draw the bow." It is no wonder that Ji Jiang is suspicious, after all, Yunyao is as white and tender as fat, and does not seem to be strong. People, if they want to learn archery, they are asking for trouble.
"If I can't learn it, I have to tell him personally before I can be willing to do it." Yunyao must learn, not only archery, but also driving in the future, because archery and driving are two skills that men compete with. A must-have skill for being competitive. Only by practicing these two skills to perfection can you scare men away.
Ji Jiang smiled bitterly, thinking that Yunyao was cute, and thought that she had to persuade her husband to teach Yunyao one and a half moves.
Yunyao came alone. Ji Jiang thought of Yunyao's life experience and knew that she was an orphan. She couldn't help but feel pity for her: "My lady, take a rest for a while, and I'll pick some berries."
Yunyao originally wanted to say no need to bother, but she knew that the other party would definitely insist on picking it. After all, it was not etiquette to not prepare something to entertain guests, so she said: "I'll go with you, I'll sit alone There¡¯s nothing to do here.¡±
Ji Jiang intuitively felt that Yunyao was lively and cute, full of girlish nature, so she couldn't help but smile and said: "Picking berries is not just for fun, so I'd better not go there, noble lady."
Yunyao had already stood up and said: "Let's go together, let's go together."
Ji Jiang had no choice but to take Yunyao with him to pick berries. Although winter had just passed, there were already many berries growing in the mountains. Ji Jiang held a small clay pot in his arms and took Yunyao into the mountains to pick fruits.
This is Yunyao¡¯s first time in the mountains. The mountain roads are difficult to walk, but the undeveloped mountain forests are indeed rich in products, including trees, bamboos, and bamboo shoots. It's a pity that even salt is rare these days, and if you have the ingredients, you can't develop delicious food. Although bamboo shoots are edible, Yunyao is not a panda and can eat bamboo shoots alone without anything.
It¡¯s a pity. If the seasonings were richer, the ingredients from the mountains could be transformed into delicacies for the taste buds.
So it¡¯s better to eat berries. At least these foods have flavor themselves, unlike bamboo shoots that need seasoning.
Ji Jiang taught Yunyao how to distinguish berries while picking them. Yunyao was so greedy that she picked them directly and put them in her mouth. The mountain man's wife took her into the mountain. This was not an illegal act. If she didn't eat at this time, she would be punished. when?
Yunyao wanted to cry. It turned out that her tongue was still useful, and she could still taste the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. When the fresh taste of berries danced on her tongue, Yunyao, who was used to bland rice, really felt like she was resurrected. The world suddenly became wonderful again.
"It's sour, sweet, and delicious." Yunyao smiled sincerely.
"Most people are not used to eating these berries. If you think they are delicious, just eat more." Ji Jiang also knows that outsiders usually can't eat these things. Some people even think the taste of berries is too weird, but Yunyao is obviously not an ordinary person. Her tongue It has been proven for a long time before time travel. As a fat girl, it is necessary to be able to eat well. Yunyao can say without exaggeration that she was also a gourmet before time travel. She can eat and cook. Her relatives and friends all say that she is good at cooking. Well, it's a pity that it's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. In the material-scarce environment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, even eating salt was a luxury, let alone cooking delicious food.
In addition to berries, bamboo shoots, fungi, and honeycombs, Yunyao became more and more greedy as she looked at them. She made up her mind to worship the mountain man as her teacher even for the temple of her five internal organs. To get permission to enter the mountain casually, she must success.
